yeah, it's the "not having to work" part that I think made the kids pretty spoiled. I honestly don't blame matt for doubting their ability to run and manage the farm. I've always found Zach to be mopey. I hope for his sake nothing happens to Matt before they can reach some level of reconciliation.
Latest I heard about the farm is that it may turn into some kind of rental.

Matt wanting to sell that part of the farm at whatever price is beyond my point. (If you want to blame Matt, that is a separate issue. It may very well be that he is the culprit, but without seeing the negotiations, we will never know.)
The point? Is how Tori and Zach are acting now. They clearly have plenty of $$$. They moved to a completely awesome house and property. Life is too short and too hard for them to be acting so spoiled. To keep bitching about it doesn’t help them at all. Just makes them look entitled. (If we want to bring Matt into it, Zach and Tori really should be thanking Matt for leading them in this life of not having to work in exchange for cameras following them for a decent portion of their lives.)
It’s too bad the show doesn’t show the opinions of Jacob, Jeremy and Molly.

Agreed. There's a bitterness there and likely immaturity that they can't see that all that Matt and AMy have done that brought them to this life where they get to earn money from a TV show and be influencers and not have a 'real' job. They just look so bitter and entitled with how they talk about 'the farm' and Matt. Do they not understand that most young families these days struggle to buy a small house.

I don't think they are acting spoiled. I think they are acting out their hurt at being treated badly by Matt. I don't think that makes them entitled. I think it just shows that for years they supported Matt in all his crazy pumpkin season adventures, and then got shit on at the end.
There are two sides to every story.

Yes, two sides, from two very flawed people. I think zach has just as many issues as Matt, although very different ones.

The doctor has opined that Zach may carry a gene or mutation that makes it so their babies will all be dwarves. I think they said they are done with 3.
All sides may be answering producer questions at times, but the issues are there in real life.

Caren is moving to Arizona permanently, won't be on next season (if there is one). She's still with Matt.

Matt is there a lot. They share a home there. I think Caryn's parents are nearby, as is Matt's mom, Huny. His dad passed awhile back.

Matt posted that he and Caryn, Amy and Chris put on a super fun event a few weeks back that we will see later, so it sounds like that event will be on the show, but he did say that Jacob and isabel taking on larger roles managing the day to day so that he and Caryn can spend more time in AZ.
Ohh social media says Jacob is planting weed and shrooms and posting about that. I don't follow him so I don't know. OH so I looked. and yes. He says he gives away the weed. @helvetiagardens.
But I doubt that will be on the show.

This is the last season for Zach, Tori, Jackson, Lilah and Josiah (season already filmed) They said Jackson had indicated that he didn't want to be filmed.
Caryn is in this season and she did go to Arizona to visit her parents and Matt's mom, but came back for filming and to see the progress on the big house Matt is building. She and Matt are now engaged and seemed to plan to live at least part time in that house but definitely winter in Arizona.
I am guessing that the super fun event Matt was teasing is part of this season. So far we've just seen the beginning but Amy and Chris wanted to do a fundraiser for the Dwarf Athletic Association and Matt offered up the Farm as the venue. He and Caryn were planning to participate.
Also in the first episode of this season Matt said that his plan is to leave his portion of the property to Amy when he dies. She seemed to dismiss that..
For one thing he doesn't know who would die first but I guess that would mean that Amy would decide how to leave the property to the kids.

How will Zack and Tori make money? Will they get jobs? Or did they make enough $ for the rest of their lives??

I guess that is their business, but they have a podcast (not of interest to me) and she does make some influencer money.
Tori stopped teaching when she had Jackson, but could go back to that.
Zach's twin and wife and 3 kids, 4th on the way (a girl) are living with his parents while remodeling their home. They are influencers.. They did stay (maybe rent) the farmhouse for Christmas.. That popped up on Instagram.
Molly seems to live a normal life with her husband.
And Jacob may still be growing marijuana and mushrooms on the farm.
I really only follow Amy and skip her little kitchen and other stuff she sells, just look at some stuff about family and trips.
But it seems that all four of the kids now have opted out of tv.
I can only imagine that TLC might have paid Zach well to keep 2 more generations of genuine little people on the show.. Maybe they saved.

I don't know, I've heard they only make $7-10,000 per episode, so that wouldn't last you a lifetime.

Was this week the last ever episode? It sure was rather emotional at the end. And seems like it was the last one.
So sad. I do love how Zach handles parenthood, specifically how he is gonna wait til Jackson asks questions about him/them being dwarves. BUT (and of course we don’t know the whole story, but im basing my opinion on Amy’s reaction to the the whole
Zach and Matt and farm/house issue) I am so super sad and disappointed in Zach. Here he is emulating what he had in his childhood (due in big part to Matt) and Zach is not visiting and not letting the kids bond with Matt. Now I do realize I don’t know the whole story, but what I do see, seems heartbreaking. seems like Amy is experiencing collateral damage too. I do LOVE Chris too and am happy that at least it looks like all 4 are friends and that each couple seems very happy.

Zach and Tori have left. I've heard rumors of an Amy/Chris spinoff, but not sure.
The kids do have bonding time with Matt, he just has to go to see them, versus Zach et all going to the farm.

Zach and Tori say that Jackson told them he didn't like filming (but he is fine with being on the podcast at least for one time.
When Matt bought Amy out of her part of the farm, according to her, she priced it expecting the kids to get it if they wanted. Zach and Jeremy each made offers but Matt had upped the price. Also Caryn was there and ended the meeting with Zach.
After that Jeremy and Audrey bought property, as did Zach and Tori.
Jacob had been the one not around but he and Izzy named their son Mateo after Matt and Jacob works for Matt. I don't know where they live exactly but seems not in the big house which, after being on the Market for quite some time, never sold, so Matt pulled it off the market and they rent it out like an Air B N B. Jacob and izzy started out marriage living van life, but now, not sure. Someone online reported that Matt was letting Jacob grow mariuana and magic mushrooms. There is something online about mushrooms.
Matt is building his giant house to replace the double wide he has lived in since he and Amy split up. It seems well designed to accomodate Matt's disabiities and so he can use his scooter easily, but it also seems really big. The views look lovely. It sounds like Caryn will probably sell her home and move in with them after they get married. And they share a house in Surprise, Arizona, which is near Caryn's parents and also Matt's mom, Hunny. Seems like all of their grandchildren are in the pacific NW.
I understand why Zach and Tori were hurt. Also understand that Matt thought it would blow over and wants his grandchildren around but Zach and Matt have kept snarking at each other and about each other and pre4tty sure TLC encourages the comments, which doesn't help.
But.. I agree with Amy and especially Chris, that it is a shame.
And there will be a time when it is too late to come back together.
Oh and of course Molly, Jacob, Izzy, Jeremy and Audrey left the cameras behind before Zach and Tori.. of course their kids are the next generation of little people
Yes, Zach is recreating his childhood, EXCEPT he is there with his kids. Matt created the environment, but was gone a lot, it seemed, while Amy was there with the kids, even working at their school and involved with soccer and such. Hard to know how Zach can be home more and be ok financially, but he seems to be really involved with the kids and with the Dwarf Athletic Association (like Amy).
I like Chris, too.

Matt posted on FB answering a lot of questions. He said both boys wanted the farm and some legalese about how it couldn't be split. Jacob lives on the farm (not in the big house -- as it is a rental, so I'm wondering if in the DW?) The new giant house is finished and Caryn sold her house, so they are both in the new house and split their time 50/50 with Arizona. Matt's mom moved back north to be closer to the grandkids, so she's no longer in Arizona. He kind of suggested there might be more TV shows, that it's not "cancelled", but there are no plans or upcoming seasons. So maybe we'll get a special here or there?? That would be nice.

Thanks Brenda and seamonkey. I don’t know why it makes me seriously so sad. Maybe because I’ve watched from the start?? I would just love to see them all get back together somehow.

I think they have a better chance of getting back togther without the show.
If Matt and Caryn are in the new house then the double wide would make sense for Jacob, Izzy and Mateo.
Here is one statement by Matt

The finale last night only included Amy and Chris, Matt and Caryn, Zach and Tori with the kids. Footage but no participation from Jeremy and Audrey and their kids, Molly and husband, Jacob and Izzy and Mateo, though they do live on the farm. Jeremy and Zach have their own smaller farms. Audrey's family is nearby and Tori's family is around them too.
Quite a bit of sugar coating in the narrative and of course Jacob being molested is never mentioned.
Mateo's face is never seen on SM.
The show did include Zach's wedding and Amy's wedding plus both of the proposals. Nothing about Jer and Aug's wedding though she was seen in the footage from Zach's (and maybe Jeremy was?)

There was recap, but Matt, Caryn, Chris and Amy narrated their stories.. as in Matt told about meeting Amy and them getting married and Amy told about meeting Matt, moving to the SF Bay area, then to Oregon.. they talked about each of the kids being born and so on.. And about the split and that they now can still be family along with Caryn and Chris.
They Amy and Chris told their story and Matt and Caryn did too.
Other footage. It was kind of nice and more of wrap up than most shows like this get.
The second to last show revealed that Chris would actually like to move to Idaho, or was it Utah..
