i saw kelly replied to a few comments, but not this one.. i don't think she'll ever do a tgikelly, but it would be 10,000x more enjoyable than a tgikev!

[cookie_crumble 22]

I totally agree. Tgikelly would be so much better than tgiKev. Kevin's so annoying especially that little laugh/scoff he does when he says a lame joke and no one laughs.

I saw in the comments someone mentioned that they didn't put the plumbing pipes in the wall before they put the wood up. Lol if they really didn't then how are they going to fix that or did they 'decide against it'.

They have already established that there won't be any plumbing in their tiny heaven.

Really? I thought I Dot said something about a sink in the kitchen.

So I guess they really are going to just be using it as a sleeping/sitting place and using Kevin's parents house for everything else.

she is getting a stove there but not washroom.
"kitchen with a view"

Today's vlog was so cute when Dot described Emmet's little star of the week ceremony, how he called her family

[letmetellyou]

why even have a "kitchen" if you aren't going to have a sink? so she'll have to prep all her food in the main house then bring it to the tiny house to cook it? and every time they have to use the bathroom they'll have to go to the main house? this tiny house sounds like a kid's playhouse to me (minus the stove, obvi) - what's the point.

That's exactly what I was going to say. They are spending all that money for pretty much nothing.

Is there a way for them to do plumbing after the playhouse is finished without having to destroy something? I don't know anything about building houses but maybe they can end up doing that?

Can you imagine Datev walking to and from the tiny house in the middle of winter to use the bathroom/shower/etc? She hates the cold and doesn't have much tolerance. I envision them sleeping in the main house for most of the winter. Such a waste of time and money.

And she defended their tiredness in a vlog recently in response to comments that people are surprised they're tired at the end of the day. I think the real issue people have is that they can't believe they'd complain after spending the whole day (and day after day) simply pursing an interest they have that in no way benefits or contributes to anything other than themselves. They don't seem to acknowledge what a privilege their way of life is.

Idk. Their whole way of life right now seems so unfocused and unfulfilling -- I think that's why Dat has bad days sometimes and why I sense a general unhappiness in the vlogs.

If they're only going to have a sink they can just cut holes in the wall for the plumbing. They could connect a garden hose for water and catch the waste water in a bucket outside so they could use it to water the garden.

They'll probably put in a composting toilet (I think that's what it's called). I like watching tiny home videos on youtube and most of them have that and they throw sawdust or something in after it.

[MunsterCheese]

Kevin is so sweet with Emmitt. I think that's the thing that stops me from totally disliking him, lol.

[Winnie]

Composting toilets are SOOOOOOOO gross. My ancestors did not struggle through billions of years of evolution so I could poop in a bucket, goddammit.

[noo_tro]

I like kelly because I don't feel like she puts on a show for the camera, she's just herself and I can respect that. Emmit? is just too cute. He seems like such a nice kid, props to Kelly and her parents. Kevin is good with him too, I can't deny that.

Overall I feel like datev will stick it out with Kevin in Reno unless she is forced to leave. She seems like she wants to prove something to the haters, her family and her friends. "Look guys moving to reno was the best thing that ever happened to me, I'm not making a mistake, things are great." She seems happy enough for now but I just can't see a future for her in kevins parents yard. There is nothing wrong with staying with your parents and saving up for your own place,but when you can afford your own place and you move back in to "live in a tiny heaven (with your girlfriend), you need to ask yourself if that's not a step backward. What was the point of getting an apartment in the first place?

Not trying to be rude but kevin needs to get a job. Does he have some trust fund that we don't know about, maybe he inherited money at some point in his life, idk. Mooching off Datev's paycheck while, the both of them mooch off kevins parents is kind of sad. I get the feeling that datev is the one convincing him that he doesn't need to work and that it's their vlogs so that she won't be alone. Also I think she's pushing the "datev and kevin" vlogging so that he can accompany her on the trips and opportunities she gets from YouTube.

Rant over.

Ahh,good point. I never thought about that. It does seem like that could be why she's pushing it. Since Kevin gets so mopy and extra whiney when she goes on trips. Ugh,I know that you're going to be sad if your SO is going to be away from you but I felt like he tried to make her feel guilty for leaving and being excited.

(I realized I slam Kevin a lot on here but ugh something about him just doesn't sit right with me lol)

I've been watching Dot&Kev for about a year. I get rather bored with their vlogs. I never had a problem with Kev, and I think he is a good person. He is a father figure for Emmit and that is a great thing. The dynamic between Kev/Kelly & Emmit are the reason I tune in each day. I know a lot of people like Alli&Dot, but I am viewer who first discovered their channel when Dot&Kev were dating so Alli&Dot are not the reason I subscribed.

The part I like the best about their vlogs could be the thing that destroys the channel. The way I see it, Dot is a person who needs a mission. Whether it is travel or the tiny house, she needs something to work on. When winter sets in and they don't have running water, and the tiny home project is complete, what is next? She doesn't seem like she is ready to settle down, even though she is going through the motions right now. That is the main vibe i get...she is going through the motions to prove to herself and her fanbase that she can complete what she sets out to do. When all this is done, however, what happens with Kev? If Dot wants to travel for 3 months, or move to a different state, what is he going to do? I feel bad for him. If that day comes to pass, he will have a VERY TOUGH decision to make. Someone is getting hurt. Emmit, Dot, himself... someone is losing in that situation. It makes me sad to think about what everyone will have to go through.

I also agree that Dot is trying to get Kev as an major part of her brand, but she is in uncharted waters. Who else is a travel vlogger that has a huge audience and has a partner that goes along on the trips? Kristen Sarah and the Vagabrothers are the only two I can think of, and Kristen is married to Cia (sp?), and the vagabrothers are, um, brothers lol. A lot of the sponsors are not going to hand out trips to an unmarried couple. Yeah, sure, they will score on the group trips and that may be enough, but she is a travel vlogger and Kev is not. They will not be able to stay in limbo forever... either Dot will settle down or Kev will cut his roots with Reno&his family.

I want to see both of them succeed, but the writing is on the wall.

[madaronincheese]

I think the new intro is also just a way to validate Kevin in general. Viewers are constantly asking about what Kevin's doing with his life and the answer is nothing. The more she features him on her channel the more she has to justify why he doesn't have a job. I think that would be fine if their content was a little better and they made more money but Dot is barely getting by as it is. And maybe she's perfectly fine with sharing everything she has with Kevin but I feel like youtube is very much hers and it kinda bum me out to think he's taking that over too.

On another note, did anyone catch Datev saying "This could be my car" in a recent vlog? It was an obvious joke but I wonder if she's looking in to getting one. I'd be so happy for her!

Another Saturday surprise video of Chico! He such a lovable guy. I'm so glad that Alli found him and decided to keep him.

I have been watching all the old Ladiedottie vlogs. I'm currently on the Feb. 2012 playlist. I started watching Datev shortly after the "divorce announcement." I initially did enjoy the present vlogs but after watching many of the old ones, I feel nothing but sadness for Datev when I watch the new vlogs. She had so many goals with her film career (start production company, make more films, etc...). Now don't get me wrong, my life goals change all the time but they normally remain partially the same, just more realistic and specific. I don't know, I just pray she is happy with her life and isn't letting "Uncle Kev" bring her down. It appears that the focus has been more fulfilling his dreams than hers. Also, when the heck is he going to decide to go back to graduate school. I never realized that he was younger than her. I know it's only by a few years but in my experiences those few years can reveal a lot of immaturity. Just sayin my peace ️
