100%! Allie has never showed any interest in making YT videos. I agree she is SLOWLY loosening up on the dating series. I don't even know what I hope for her anymore. She desperately needs to grow up and find herself away from her parents. She isn't prepared for real life (two jobs she quit in a month?), but she will never grow up while trapped in that house of horrors. And if she marries now, I can see her getting into an awful loveless or even abusive partnership she will regret nearly instantly.ThisIsMeCeej wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 9:46 pmI honestly think she felt the need to make the channel, to appease her parents. Maybe it was a stipulation to continue living at home, for her to make a channel and also to be the kids nanny? Wouldn't put it past S&J at this point..Kattiness Everdeen wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 3:32 pmShe already has her own channel....Allie the Rose.....that is where her 10 dates series is. I think her depression (or bank account) already hit rock bottom.cranberryjuice05 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 10, 2020 2:30 pm As much as this family annoys me, I kind of felt bad for them when they found out insurance wouldn’t cover the flood damage. But aside from that I wonder if Allie is bipolar. She seems to either be super depressed or be manic. Usually when bipolar people experience episodes of mania they feel super happy and hyper and inspired and on top of the world which is exactly how Allie acted towards the end of the vlog when she realized cooking gave her a purpose it’s kind of sad how on top of the world she felt realizing being mindful and doing a hobby makes her feel like she has a purpose. She also kind of admitted she had no idea what she was doing with her life but also seemed like she was against going to school. Idk why people now a days think they could make a living without going to college. And what does she mean she likes doing YouTube? She barely talks in the vlogs and looks unamused 24/7. I bet she will take the lazy route out and make her own YouTube channel once her depression hits rock bottom.
Her 10 date series, if any of you have watched it... have you noticed, every date she's gone on, little by little she's come out of her shell? I'm not saying I hope she marries one of the guys she's on a date with.. but, I know she will probably be pushed to by her parents, who only dream of marrying off their kids and having grandchildren.
I actually think they forced Branson to do YT as well, he just accepted the job with a little more enthusiasm (& privilege). Johnny made him the channel when he wasn't even allowed access to electronics and living out of the country. I also think Branson was left in charge of the kids/house often (like Allie is), back when S&J were off on couple's trips every week. Hell, they made him oversee Christmas all by himself, while they cruised for two weeks alone! He had the benefit of being "useful" for other tasks though, so wasn't merely a house slave like Allie is now. For 2 stay at home parents, with 3 stay-at-home adult children, and a new live-in chef......hiring an "assistant/producer" seems way over the top. What does she even do, hold the camera for them when their arm gets tired? They must be preparing to skip out on the kids again.
