I just got done watching the season premiere, and it was awesome! My favorite scene of the night? It had to be the part where they are camped at the RV campground and Matt tells Zach to go throw out his trash, so Zach just goes and tosses it in the fire pit in front of Amy. Our whole family, and especially my wife, was laughing when Amy goes in and chews out Matt. Let’s just say we could definitely relate to being on vacation and in similar types of situations.
Zach throwing his trash in the fire pit actually reminded me of a prior episode where the boys come back from their camping trip and Matt tells Zach to get rid of some old milk, so Zach just goes and pours it out into a flower planter on their porch. I sometimes think Zach doesn’t quite think things through when he’s disposing of trash.
It was fun seeing the spot Matt proposed to Amy. He said it was 20 years ago, so who knows … maybe they’ll do something cool on the show for their 20th anniversary.
Finally, was it me, or did anyone else think Zach was a poor sport when the kid playing goalie stopped his goal at the high school party? After he gets stopped, he punches the kid, then kicks him. I like Zach, but I thought that was pretty lame and uncalled for.

Last Friday (October 12th), Matt & Amy were guests on the Rachael Ray Show. They discussed topics from how doing the show has actually helped them be better parents, to Matt’s DUI. From Rachael’s website:
Matt and Amy Roloff, stars of the reality show Little People Big World, tell Rachael that sometimes it’s an advantage having cameras around 24-7. “We just previewed an episode the other day,” Matt says, “where [son] Jeremy is on the phone with his girlfriend all the time. I’m thinking, as soon as I get home from this trip I’m going to talk to him about how often he’s on the phone with his girlfriend, because we don’t see it.” Amy agrees. “Mom usually knows a lot, but I’m realizing I don’t know everything!”
Rach wants to know if the show will deal with Matt’s DUI case. “We put everything else out there so we don’t want to hide anything,” he says. “It makes what the show is all about. I think there are still pieces of it that are all being put together, but it’s been a great experience being able to do a show where we can show the good, the bad, the ugly — our successes and our failures.”
It should be interesting to see what Matt has to say about the DUI when they cover it on the show - and you know they will. Like Matt said, the show is about the good, the bad, and the ugly … not to mention a topic like that is bound to bring in the viewers and raise the show ratings.
