Last night’s Welcome to Myrtle Manor season finale on TLC marked the end of this trailer park’s story. That is, until season two! Because it was totally renewed, y’all! More »

TLC’s Welcome to Myrtle Manor is never afraid to be romantic. Other shows might shy away from portraying a marriage proposal as on-fire (literally) as Jared’s proposal to Chelsey. But not Myrtle Manor. It was all there in last night’s episode, and we’re going to talk about it. More »
