The thing with the "Friendship" was, that they were edited disturbingly favorably. Only a small fraction of their mean-spirited comments were shown on TV, and yet they still blame editing for the dislike towards them. I think it's par for the course that reality show contestants blame editing. And I'm sure the Weaver's will claim it as well. I find some shows more obviously edited for drama/ratings than other shows. Some are more obvious due to lack of simple things like continuity (hair styles, locations, beverages on table/in hand, etc). I didn't consider TAR one of the bad ones. I wish all reality shows had a live feed like BB. I just don't get why the people who complain about editing ended up going on a reality show. Reality shows and their reputations have been going on for many years now. (like a decade?) I wouldn't buy that anyone is that naive (and as for the Weaver's in particular - it is obvious they watch a lot of TV as they have referrenced stuff from TV more than anyone else I've ever heard.)

regarding the seatbelt issue- Doesn't the law vary state to state? Do adults have to have a seatbelt on in the back seat in certain states? (NY does not require adults in backseat) I think most states seatbelts are required for backseat passengers under the age of 16. It would make sense that Rolly (who is 14) figured he should be wearing a seatbelt because the law in his state: "Florida law is very specific about how passengers in Florida should be belted. All front seat occupants must be buckled up, regardless of age. Children ages 6-15 must be belted in either the front or back seat of the vehicle. The driver is responsible for passengers under 16 years who are not buckled up. Passengers 16 years of age or older may be individually fined if they are not buckled up."

i thought it was nationwide, but i know in california, it's 'click-it or ticket' for everyone. the driver gets a ticket for anyone under 16 not wearing a seatbelt and anyone 16 or over gets their own ticket, whether they are the driver or a passenger. i am assuming the florida law does not mean a kid under 6 can be 'unbelted', but must be in a carseat or booster type of belted seat. my kids rode in carseats until they were 6 or older, as long as the straps adjusted long enough...it was great for long trips because they could see out and because when they fell asleep they had the carseat 'sides' to rest their heads against. i always wished they would make a harness type seatbelt that went across both shoulders and had a crotch strap and that backseats reclined somewhat, so the kids could sleep other than sitting straight up or flopping over. i know the seats couldn't recline all the way or a kid would shoot forward if you hit something, but there must be something they could work out! my kids were so by the rules even as little ones that they would cry if i moved the car 6 feet in the driveway to mow the lawns...and they refused to get into older classic cars that did not have seat belts. we had a 67 mustang and we put seatbelts in it the day we bought it.

I was stunned to know that my 15 year old wasn't required by law to wear a seat belt in the back seat! Well, don't care about Texas law, my car goes NO WHERE unless EVERYONE is buckled up!!!

I'm with you, TA! I even insist on all adults riding in my car to wear a seatbelt. Not negotiable. I always make a joke that I don't want their blood all over my nice, clean car in case of an accident, so "buckle up!" Gruesome, I know. But gets my point across.
