It was Reese's grandmother that died. Did he leave to go home to the funeral and then come back to the show? It was not real clear what happened. Everyone seemed to get along better this time. Next week should be a trip when they go live in Amish country. Did anyone else think Mose's new haircut made him look alot older?

Mose and Ariel were on Good Day Live today. They were really interested in Mose, and he talked about how he had lived outside of the Amish for 2 years and when he was asked to do the show he carefully considered because he would never do anything to dishonor the Amish. Ariel talked about next week spending 2 days on a farm like the Amish, but yet not as hard as Amish life... doing without 2 days, but still having a background of pop culture, whereas most Amish dont have pop culture...

Reese didn't go home for the funeral, he went home to his apartment to have some privacy for a night and grieve. At least that's the impression I got. Ruth looked good with the darker hair, but when they had it styled in that '60s flip, all I could think of was Marlo Thomas as "That Girl". I agree that Ariel looked great, but her attitude still stinks. "They had this flame and you could roast cow meat over it or something." Honey, it's called BEEF and millions of people around the world eat it every day. Get over it! Can't wait to see the city kids (especially Ariel) on the farm next week!

I thought all of the makeovers were good except for Meagan and Ariel's. Meagan's hairstyle looked awful imo....and doesn't she have a lot of wrinkles for such a young girl? I'm beginning to wonder if Randy is gay. The way Miriam was talking about him last night made me wonder if he has some issues with his sexuality.

I really do love this show and unlike most of the reality shows.. I was thinking last night that I'll really MISS some of these people.. mostly the Amish kids. I would love to follow Mose longer just to keep hearing his take on various experiences. Meagan's hairstyle wasn't flattering on her but I don't really understand that hairstyle on anyone, Natalie Maines included.. Looks like next week we get to meet Ruth's serioius boyfriend.. at least that is my guess.. In this show I don't really care about the house, but I love seeing them go places, do things, sometimes communicate, and learn.

Love that it repeats and I catch it!! I agree Sea, it has to be Ruth's boyfriend. I get the impression that the Amish (esp Mose and Miriam) have been on this leave from the Amish for over 2 years, they are very comfortable in the city - now Mose does state he's a country boy, and he definately has issues with losing his father so young in the Amish community... I really got the impression that Mose will not return to the Amish, but will live a country lifestely much like the Amish - because I dont think he wants to raise his son like he was raised - does that make sense?! Last night the editing was weird... showing how the groups were so seperate. When Reese was grieving, they didnt show a huge impact, it looked more like they tried to piece together a montage of over a few hours, what I found really interesting - - it was boring!! LOL< which gave a good insight to what most days must be like for them. Often times we only see the drama, a fight here or there, an eavesdropping here and there... but for the most part, they are in thier own shells/lifestyle? And when Ruth and Miriam were out smoking (I cannot get used to that btw!) and talking, they made me laugh thinking how they look like they were the "cool" kids, because they were sitting gossiping!! Your right that Mose did look older, if only he could mature too! Maybe mature will come across as harsh, but he seems "stuck" just going thru the motions of life. And the movie they say "The NOte

lol - anybody else get the impression that Miriam is in the "shun" category? Maybe I dont remember if they posted anything on rumspringa - but I got the very strong impression that the real reason Miriam was torn going out to see/talk to her mom, was she knew her mom would be torn, because right now, Miriam is in the "shun" category. and the more Mose lets us in, he must have had a horrible, terrifying childhood, how peaceful, I wanted to go live in the country,,, but can I have enough money to pay someone to do the weeding, and mucking, and repair work???

Season Finale next week, and for dramatic purposes they make the choice, I dont believe for one minute these kids are going back on the farm when the show stops filming!! Go get her half, and find out if she is being shunned (off camera, you wont tell anyone, you may type it, but wont tell...)

Wow, just when I think I couldn't hate the city kids more, they prove me wrong. I could not believe their reaction to the announcement of the trip. Just flat out NO. They didn't even have decent reasons. Just that they "didn't want to". I wanted to strangle Nick in particular. I bet the producers had to lay down the law. I just want Jonas to know that even if he didn't pass his GED, I'm really proud of him! Wish he could hear me through the TV. The thing with Miriam and her mom was so sweet, and I appreciated it all the more because the camera's weren't exploiting it to death.

Hey, Halfunit! I've missed seeing you around the BB boards, but see you here. How are you? Great idea to go find Miriam, that's if she went back, huh? Isn't Ruth also from a community close to here? My neighbor told me she was from up around Medina.

Once we got past the bickering brats, I became so peaceful just watching the beautiful countryside and the lifestyle of the farm family. To be flown cross-country on a long plane flight and then find out that you have an "Auntie Reese" is more than any sweet and adorable puppy should have to take. They need to call in the British lady that talks and listens to dogs and counsel that poor little thing!

Maybe I dont remember if they posted anything on rumspringa - but I got the very strong impression that the real reason Miriam was torn going out to see/talk to her mom, was she knew her mom would be torn, because right now, Miriam is in the "shun" category." Yes, Reader, Miriam is being shunned. From things she's said, I think she's been away from her family for awhile. She did get to go talk to her mother though, and that was nice. I don't think Mose went back because he was on Regis & Kelly and has been on Good Day Live, so he's still 'in the City' so to speak. Lol @ Beachcomber. Brats is right. I was soooo irritated at Meagan and the others when they said.."Huh, I'm not going..don't want to." How RUDE! The Amish kids tried every other culture in L.A. and didn't say boo! It just goes to show how shallow, spoiled and ungrateful the brats are. The only non-Amish I like is Kevan.

I have enjoyed watching this show! I'm in Ohio's Amish country, just a few miles from Miriams "hometown". I have 2 former-Amish friends (they're brothers actually) and they both remember Miriam...She's been on the outskirts of the community for a couple years. I have a feeling only one, perhaps 2 will return. (Randy and Ruth.)

Finale was tonight. No one went back to the Amish. Jonas got his GED and is considering going to college. Mose wants to live in the country. Randy was thinking about working in construction. Ruth and Miriam are considering nursing school.

I missed the finale. Will it be repeated? Don't they sometimes do that with this show on Fridays?

"damn it! why was this on last night instead of it's usual wednesday night? i missed it, and don't see that it's going to be reran. (not found on local listings!) crap! i really wanted to see it." ME TOO! Dang, it was on a night earlier this week (BB finale night) and is not being repeated on Friday like they usually do. Instead they had Top Model and Veronica Mars on last night, which will be repeated @ 10:00 & 11:00 on Friday night! I so wanted to see the last episode.

I don't know about others, but I feel they need a follow up episode. Where are they now? After seeing the show any regrets? How has it changed them? I want some closure!
