Whoami, ITA with your post. I wanted to say something, but thought I have also might have been still ticked at Matt for the previous episodes. But right now I can easily see him being jealous of her success and doing it just to knock her down a notch.

And little jabs every now and then through the show irk'ed me. Like when he was complaining about how the grass would look like after all of it was over. Hey, you dug a 15 foot deep mudpit and called it the Grand Canyon. Get over it.

Exactly. When she plans something he has a problem with it. It could have something to do with control, too. He seems to like to be in control.
Amy is one of my favorite people. She's always giving and doing things for others.

Especially when Matt referred to it as "my grass".

I wish Amy lived here so I could help her out some days. Or just hang with her if she ever takes time for that.

Yup, Matt with the MY GRASS comment is just another little crack in what could be a happier marriage. Why} can't these married people ever be happy for each others projects.

I don't have the channel for this show any more, and I am so happy to find all these comments. Thanks everyone - I feel "caught up" with the events.

I also worry about their marriage...I'm hoping that this show doesn't wreck it. JMHO

Good grief, the promo for next week's season finale is Matt wants to sell the place. I didn't see that coming.

Two nice episodes tonight. IMO

No, Matt never said he wanted to sell the place. He said something about closing the pumpkin selling part. Then Amy was being sarcastic when she said something about selling the place.. Just trying to drum up viewers I guess!

Yes, I think it looks like a little spat between them.

REally enjoyed last night's episodes. I find Amy to be such an interesting and warm narrator, even when she's repeating herself about Zach being the oldest at camp. Just so different from watching Kate be sole narrator. Like night and day.

The Sweet 16 party was fun too. Feeling pressure to have a wonderful party for DD. I guess I have a few years before I have to plan that. Also nice to not see a lot of marital conflict, but it looks like we get that next week.

Any more I wouldn't be surprised at any lengths that a television network would go to in order to increase viewership. I hate teasers and I hate drama manufactured just as a ploy for ratings!

I didn't notice that Southern_Grits. But like Sia says, the networks will stop at nothing to increase viewership. They've been "teasing" us all season long about their purported "marital troubles." I wouldn't put it past them to reverse the image so it looked like she was wearing her wedding ring on the other hand.

Interesting synopsis for next week's two shows/season finale as listed on Comcast's online. I'll put it in a spoiler box just in case nobody wants to have any light shed before hand.

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
First Show: Title, "Clash With The County." A county inspector pays a surprise visit to Roloff Farms and threatens to shut it down before the start of the pumpkin season.

Second Show: Title, "Twin Trouble." Matt and Amy worry about the twins' lack of motivation with their freshman year of college off to a slow start. So Matt decides to teach them a valuable lesson by turning the management of Roloff Farms over to them during the height of the pumpkin season.


My assumption/interpretation is:

Spoiler
Click below to view spoiler
So, I'm guessing in the previews, Matt saying he's tired of running the farm (or something to that effect) is a set up for what happens in the second show (turning the management over to them). The twins whine about it or something, so Amy says "so we should just sell it." So I bet her comment is to the twins.

As for the clash with the county. Why am I not surprised? Seems like Matt has had clashes/trouble with authority as a theme this year, hasn't he?

What got me was they are all standing there looking at him laying face first on the floor and Amy say are you all right. Of course he is not all right, call 911!
I would assume it was not too serious, since we would have heard something about it if it was.

That was the season ender? Argh! I noticed there were no new episodes in the next two weeks. I was hoping that just meant a two week break.

I too thought nobody seemed all that alarmed. They were just sort of standing there looking at him like they'd just seen an odd looking bug crawling across the floor.

Glad to know in advance he's gonna be ok.

ITA - it seemed so scripted - all the talk from matt about him not being around the whole show, and how he didnt feel well - then the cameras leave and he collapsed.... really? They get a close up of him wiping down his forehead saying he felt bad - the camera leaves and - - well ok I know with editing it could've been on 2 different days, but again it just came across as so scripted!

It came across as very scripted to me too. Probably none of us are as well as we were 6 years ago. It is that age thing.
