Lo, I was having Saph flashbacks too. She was always more self-depricating and pathetic than she was sanctimonious.

Unless I'm forgetting some of her identities Image
I have added her as foe after she caused similar unnecessary drama in a different board- now this board is hilarious, seems like you are all arguing about nothing. If you haven't tried adding someone as foe, you should, it is liberating.

Social Blade has some interesting projections for the sisters. Ruby is going to surpass Ellie in views and subscribers, likely within six months. And she and Bonnie don't have to share their earnings with a network. Bonnie may not pass them by, but she's doing all right. It'll be interesting to see how long it takes Ellie to get pregnant and how that affects views. Can they keep the kiddos interested while posting infertility vlogs? It's like they're trying to do both, and it's a knife edge.

Their whole family just do nothing and live from youtube. I wish that you tube stop paying for vlogs. That would be great LOL.
Hi! I'm from Montenegro :). Koliko imas godina? I think we have the similar poit of view due to similar cultures. Bonnie is fat, Ellie is filthy, they are all just stupid.
Hi from Bosnia! :) don't forget- we're pretty loud, too!

We get to talk about the whole family? Yippee!

I am surprised at these people. Mom and Dad seem to be really down to earth people ( I could be very wrong) but their children are so into themselves. The hair, the make up, the clothes and the things they own. It really is shameful!

They are LDS and frankly an embarrassment to the church. Constantly selling themselves. This project, that project. Making lifestyles from other people's generosity. It makes me sick!

It's hard to watch horses talk all thru a vlog. Their mouths and teeth are HUGE! And finish your words people!
MounTAIN, not mountIN. Drives me crazy!

And now they are doing a cookbook. I hope and pray it is for YOUR family and you don't try to sell it to the public. Have you seen what you cook? Crap! You cook every recipe we all do. Really!

Go away!

Well I guess we know where the Griffith kids get their lack of moving vehicle safety from. In the latest Grandma/Grandpa vlog Chad taking Cody down the street in his Polaris (if that's what it is), Cody sat on his lap sans seat belt and helmet with wheel in hand. Jennifer at least mentioned putting his seat belt on when he first got in but actions speak louder than words.

Wow. The difference between the sisters is so glaring in the China vlogs, and even in the titles and thumbnails. Bonnie's are about the experience of being there, and E&J's are about her. "They Hit on My Husband!" and "Stopped Because I look Different!" Just ridiculous.

I wonder if it was okay with Bonnie and Joel that Grandpa Griffiths put 6 year old Cody up a ladder to the second story of his house to clean the rain gutters?! Or if they were too afraid to correct anything intimidating Chad chooses to do.

I did notice that Boston, who in general is a very nervous child, seems very comfortable with G&G.

I mainly watch Bonnie and 8 Passengers but have been checking out Ellie and Julie a bit more out of curiousity, and the grandparent's channel too. I think a lot of us would agree that most of these mormon vlogging families are pretty boring because their lives are very white bread/basic middle-class family lives... even though many aspects of their lifestyle are unrealistic and unattainable at the same time. But I still kinda like Bonnie! Maybe it is an act and she is far from perfect but she is funny and relatable and I do enjoy watching her, and I like Joel and their adorable kids too! I have been watching Bonnie fairly regularly for a couple years. 8 passengers is more of a hate watch for me, but I like watching it to see what dumb thing Ruby will do or say next (we're allowed to dump all our trash in the school dumpster).

Ellie and Jared... I seriously don't get it, like at all. Even with the pregnancy/miscarriage/we're infertile and these two will be our only children/we're actually pregnant drama over the past while, Ellie is so, so, so incredibly boring. How on earth can they have the most subscribers? I never watched them much because they could bore the socks off of a speed knitting grandma. They have got to be the most dull family on youtube.

Ellie and Jared sell themselves as the most perfect family on YT. They post tons of posey pics where they are kissing, and make lots of lovey dovey posts (well, Jared does). I think that's the only reason they have more subs. He'll I even bought into their wholesome and perfect image for awhile! That and the major boost they got by being friends with DB. Even that's not helping anymore though.

I put this in the E+J thread but realize that was the wrong place so will post it here too:

Did anyone watch Grandma and Grandpa Griffiths vlog of the Christmas party at their house? Holy cow, when Jennifer gets all the kids to sit down in front of her whilst she holds court. And then proceeds to get so emotional she begins to cry. Those poor kids didn't know where to look or what to say, they were so uncomfortable and confused.

Starts @ 14:29 mins: -
Chad junior's face from 14:36 and 14:40 and Julie's from 14:48-14:50 sums it up lol. I get the message she's trying to give but holy wackadoodle the delivery needs some work.

Bonnie was pretty open about it in her name video and got a lot of shit for it, rightfully so in my opinion. I'm guessing that's why they avoided talking about it. Didn't work out though because I've seen lots of comments about it.

I guess I'm also wondering what's so terrible about having four names. I mean, supposing they wanted to name the baby Lucy Rose Deru. When (or IF) she gets married, can't she be Lucy Rose Deru Smith or whatever and then go by Lucy Smith if she wants? I imagine their argument is that they're actually protecting their girls' rights to keep their birth names this way but the argument, in my view, just falls a little short.

Slightly off topic because it doesn't involve the Griffith's, but I have a friend who changed her middle name to her maiden name.

Once your an adult you can change your name anyway, there is a guy in my state who a few years ago changed his name to Tyrannosaurus Rex, because it was cooler than his birth name.

Does the Mormon church not allow them, or is it something Parents do in response to it?

It definitely sets the expectation that their child *will* get married.

It is strange. I definitely know Mormon girls who have middle names.

It's not a Mormon thing at all, it's a Griffiths thing, on other threads, I think it was 8p, a bunch of Mormons said it wasn't a thing and they had middle names, some Utah Mormons even said it wasn't.

It's not a church rule but definitely not just a Griffiths thing. A quick Google search for "Mormon middle name" will show that lots of people do it.

I’m not comparing the families because they are all idiots. Ruby leading the way but I just want to say the I’m sorry that the parents got sucked into the youtube life and their children’s bizarre lives. Why on earth at their age would they want this unless it’s just for the money.

I thought out of the whole family that they were somewhat normal. But I guess not. The whole family is adicted to the local fame and I mean local. Who knows any of them really outside of Utah and a few outside of Utah?

They are all an embarrassment to the Mormon church.
