Alaskan Bush People: Gabe Brown and Raquell Rose Are Getting Married!
Back in August, Alaskan Bush People star Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha in a beautiful, low-key ceremony.
Now it’s another member of the Brown family’s turn.
This time, it’s Gabe Brown — who filed for a marriage license before anyone heard a word about an engagement!
RadarOnline reports that Gabe Brown is either married already — or about to be.
A clerk at the Marriage License Office in Okanogan, Washington says that Gabe and his girlfriend got their marriage papers last month.
“Gabriel Brown and Raquell Pantilla filed for a marriage license in person on October 8,” the clerk confirms.
Raquell is not unfamiliar to fans who follow the Brown family on social media.
In fact, it was Gabe’s youngest sister Rain who revealed Gabe’s relationship with Raquell “Rose” Pantilla.
Rain has joked about beinga third wheel, but she and Raquell have described each other as the best of friends.
A source close to the Brown family didn’t quite confirm Gabe’s marriage, but didn’t exactly deny it, either.
“They have been spending a lot of time together,” the family source acknowledged.
The insider affirmed that “really likes her.”
We’ve all been able to tell that much just from watching them on social media.
Just look at this photo that Gabe shared of his and Raquell’s hands forming a heart together.
Now, as we were all so recently reminded with Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, a marriage license can be a little ambiguous.
We looked it up, and Washington state law says that a marriage license has a three-day waiting period.
(That, folks, is to prevent people who are blitzed out of their minds from having impulsive weddings with someone they just met)
After those three days are over, the couple has 60 days in which to have their wedding.
After that, if they have not held a wedding, the marriage license becomes invalid.
If our understanding that this gives Gabe and Raquell a total of 63 days in which to tie the knot is correct, they must hold their wedding by December 10.
Just because Gabe and Raquell need to hold a wedding between October 11 and December 10 doesn’t mean that it has to be large.
Noah’s wedding, after all, was a pretty small event.
It is entirely possible that Gabe and Raquell have already had a wedding somewhere on the Brown family’s private, spacious homestead.
If your dad buys 435 acres of land, we sure hope that there’s enough room for you to get married on it.
If so, we hope that they’ll make an announcement about it soon.
But they still have an entire month — and some change — to hold that wedding. Maybe it hasn’t happened yet.
Gabe Brown has not always been so lucky in love.
In late November of last year, Rain warned her fans and followers that an imposter was pretending to be Gabe Brown.
This imposter was catfishing fans, some of whom developed real feelings for the fake Gabe.
Months later, when fans learned of Gabe’s relationship with Raquel, some accused Gabe of seducing them — having ignored Rain’s warning.
These fans may have seen Rain’s warning but refused to believe that they were being catfished.
We’re glad that Gabe and Raquell were able to get past that.
Still, Gabe and Raquell have only been dating for … possibly less than a year.
Though Raquell has been getting along well with the Brown family — especially with Rain — some wonder if they’re rushing things.
It’s always a little surprising when a couple goes from “dating” to “married” (or close enough) without any real engagement in between.
But sometimes, couples just know.
Congratulations to Gabe and Raquell!

Alaskan Bush People Finale Trailer Teases Fire, Ami"s Health, and a Wedding!
In real time, Matt Brown has checked into rehab. That is a brave and smart decision. On television, the Browns have other concerns.
Alaskan Bush People Season 8 has scarcely begun … but it is almost over. This season ends on Sunday.
But we have the season finale promo trailer for you, promising danger, medical news, and a wedding.
The official Twitter account for Discovery"s Alaskan Bush People tweeted this promo for the season finale.
"We"re not ready to say goodbye," the tweet laments.
No one is — like we said, we"re only a few episodes into the season.
"Join us for the season finale," the tweet invites fans and followers. "Sunday at 9p on Discovery and Discovery GO."
Time passes so quickly these days.
Within the promo trailer itself, the family faces a new menace as they battle the elements in Washington.
"We"ve had floods," Gabe lists.
Gabe continues, saying: "We"ve had road issues."
"And now," he laments. "Fire."
"The fire seems very serious," viewers hear.
"I"ve never seen that much smoke," Bird confesses.
Those of us who have been around massive wildfires can attest — it"s a unique experience. And it is not a fun one.
Bird explains: "The fires are just that close."
Watching the trailer, fans can see that for themselves.
We just hope that Ami Brown was in California. That much smoke is not good for a lung cancer patient.
Speaking of Ami, the finale shows her return from her checkup.
"How"d it go?" the family asks.
"We finally got the results in," Billy begins.
His voice sounds a little uneasy. Whether it"s genuine emotion or played up for the cameras (or both) is difficult to say.
"Everything is, uh …" Billy continues.
Naturally, this is a teaser trailer., so his words cut off there.
Fans do not get to hear those results until they watch the episode.
That said, Ami"s cancer was reportedly in remission as of last July.
We expect that they"ll deliver good news after the show plays up the tension.
Ami"s health is not the only (hopefully) good news to which viewers will be treated.
"And a new Brown joins the family," one of the trailer"s internal cards teases.
We know, of course, that Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha back in August.
At the time, we had hoped that viewers would get to see this special occasion. Clearly, they will.
Additionally, that card"s phrasing — referring to Rhain as another Brown — is further confirmation that Rhain will take Noah"s last name.
Hopefully, that will lay those nastily persistent fan rumors to rest.
Not every family, even on reality television, has to be consumed by feuding just because that is more entertaining to viewers.
We look forward to the finale — and to even more of the Brown family.

Matt Brown, Alaskan Bush People Star, Checks Into Rehab
Matt Brown has taken the first step in his hopeful path to recovery.
The Alaskan Bush People star has admitted he needs help.
Speaking to People Magazine, the Discovery Channel personality says he is checking into rehab for the second time in order to receive assistance for a dependency on alcohol.
“I struggle with substance abuse, and after a year of ups and downs, I decided to return to treatment,” the oldest Brown son tells the publication in this week’s issue.
He adds:
“I’m really grateful for everyone’s support and hope to have my life back on track soon.”
The reality star first entered a treatment facility of this nature in the spring of 2016.
What made him realize that he had to try again and that he had to turn his life around?
“I could see myself spiraling,” Brown explains, acknowledging that he had been spending more and more time drinking over the previous year.
“I was more withdrawn. I was slower. Things didn’t excite me the way they used to.”
On a recent episode of Alaskan Bush People, Matt got injured while helping to build the family’s new residence.
Overall, meanwhile, the Browns have been through a whole lot over the past two years; most notably, of course, the loved ones have been dealing with matriarch Ami’s very serious lung cancer diagnosis.
It was believeed for awhile that Ami would not survive the Stage 4 illness, but she remains a major part of the series and of the family.
Due to her need for medical care, however, the Browns have left Alaska and settled in rural Washington.
Now, they’ll be without Matt for an unspecified period of time.
(It’s unclear at the moment just where Matt will receive treatment and for how long he will be there.)
“It’s hard not having one of my babies here with us,” says Ami, who is now cancer-free, yet has been informed she should undergo tests every three months for the rest of her life.
“He was so strong for me, and I want to be strong for him,” she adds to People.
“We miss him terribly, but we’d rather lose him from home for a little while than lose him forever,” dad Billy says.
“We just want him to do what he needs to do to get better.”
Amen.
We send Matt our very best wishes.
Alaskan Bush People airs Sunday at 9/8c on Discovery.

Alaskan Bush People: Gabe Brown Fears the Worst After Matt Is Injured
Last week on Alaskan Bush People, Gabe Brown risked life and limb working construction on the Brown family"s new homestead.
On the latest episode, however, it"s not Gabe who"s putting himself at risk. His older brother Matt Brown gets injured.
It"s a major setback for the Browns, as they explain in this video. How much will this delay construction?
On Sunday night"s new Alaskan Bush People episode, Matt Brown jumps down from too high and ends up injuring his knee.
His siblings are concerned about his well being, but as Gabe explains to the camera, they are also concerned about delaying their construction project.
"These are major setbacks," Gabe laments to the camera.
He shares his fear that: "It"s gonna keep us from building the barn."
"It"s pretty much worst case scenario," Gabe worries. Matt may be able to walk, but not like he could before he twisted his knee.
Rain Brown is only 15 (though she often acts as the family"s de facto spokesperson on social media, she will not turn 16 until November 23, 2018).
Despite that, she is so often the voice of reason — and even maturity. Even when she is speaking to Bam Bam, who is 34 entire years old.
"I"m just going to be blunt with you," Rain says. "I think you could help more."
Bam, we learn, has been showing up late and bristles in the face of being given instructions. Again, this is a grown man who was born in 1984.
"It"s really important for everyone to get involved with this," Rain emphasizes. "Teamwork is important."
Though he had been messing around in the face of Matt"s instructions, Rain"s words do get through to Bam Bam.
"I"m just me all the time," Bam admits.
You know what? He sure is.
He then asks Rain to "just tell me," when he"s not being as helpful as he should. "So maybe I can fix it."
That sounds like it should be his responsibility rather than Rain"s, but okay.
Rain needs more from Bam Bam than showing up on time and working as a team.
She admits that what he really brings to the group is a concern with safety. Matt and Gabe, in contrast, are daredevils who take risks like they have something to prove.
"I think we actually need your help a lot more than we let on," Rain tells Bam.
She appreciates him agreeing to work on his behavior, and says: "I think that this is a good first step."
"We still need to get that working on a team level going," Rain says.
It sounds like Matt — and, honestly, Gabe — need to reign in their impulses, while Bam Bam needs to be more helpful.
To be fair, they"re all there to film the show. As we know, the Brown family have accumulated their share of wealth over what are now 8 seasons of reality televisions.
They"re not squatting on land in the wilderness — they"re on Billy Brown"s 435 property in rural Washington.
Bam isn"t there because he"s a construction expert. He"s there because he"s a reality star and appearing on camera means that he gets paid.
Still, that injury looks like the real deal. Maybe Matt should wisen up and realize that he"s not as young as he once was. They all need to be careful.

Alaskan Bush People Sneak Peek: Gabe Brown Risks Life and Limb!
Alaskan Bush People has been destroying Keeping Up With The Kardashians" ratings, and it looks like this new episode will be no different.
In this sneak peek, Gabe Brown takes huge risks as the Browns build a new structure on their property, scaring his siblings half to death.
Noah also comes to visit in the new episode, revealing a serious health problem that required surgery.
In the video that we"ve included, viewers can see Gabe standing on a piece of construction equipment and wielding a chainsaw.
"The next step is now Gabe just needs to cut off the top of the poles," Bird Brown explains.
"He’s just going to stand in the bucket of the skid-steer," Bird describes.
She reveals who will be operating this dangerous equipment, adding: "and Rain’s going to raise him up."
It"s always reassuring to see a 15-year-old operating heavy machinery.
"I’m not normally serious," Bird acknowledges. "But right now it is super serious,”
“It is actually pretty dangerous," Bird admits.
"It’s actually the most dangerous things we’ve done on the job."
Bam Bam Brown adds: "That does not look incredibly safe."
His opinion is pretty clear. As you can see in the clip, he"s standing a considerable distance away from the action.
In addition to Gabe risking life and limb (and his baby sister"s mental health for the next half-century) to shorten some stilts, this weekend"s episode promises another development.
In August, Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha in a small, moving wedding ceremony.
On this weekend"s episode, Noah "returns to the pack," as they say, visiting the new family homestead in rural Washington to see his parents.
His presence is reassuring to his father, Billy Brown, who is happy to see him.
His arrival is also a tremendous comfort to Ami, who states that she feels more secure with all of her children around her.
Noah also makes a startling confession about his health.
During his time away from his family, his body began to become inexplicably bloated.
As it turns out, as is usually the case with a sudden change in body size, there is a medical explanation.
In Noah"s case, it was his gall bladder.
He had to have his abnormally large gall bladder removed, and his torso still bears the stretch mark from the sudden gain in weight that his endocrine system foisted upon him.
We"re sure that some parts of this coming episode of Alaskan Bush People is just theatrics for the camera. That goes with the territory on any reality show.
We have no doubts that Noah"s family knew about his gall bladder being removed before he told them on camera and showed off his scar.
And we also know for a fact that Billy Brown"s new 435 property could gain a new structure without the children risking it all to build it.
But they"re doing this personally, on camera, so that they can keep raking in that reality TV money.
And since Alaskan Bush People is creaming Keeping Up With The Kardashians, this hard work and drama is a sound investment in their family"s future.

Billy Brown Explains Why Alaskan Bush People Can Never Return to Alaska
Last week, Ami Brown was honored on a birthday that many had feared she would never live to see.
Alaskan Bush People is back (and trampling Keeping Up With The Kardashians in the ratings), and the Brown family is reflecting on how grateful they are.
Billy Brown shares that the decision to move the family to Washington was difficult — but there was never really another option.
In an interview with Monsters and Critics, Billy Brown says that the decision to move to Washington came after they realized that there was no real alternative.
“We didn’t really have much choice in how we decided,” Billy admits.
Alaska, he says, was a non-starter. “The doctors were quite emphatic that we couldn’t go back there.”
“it was just too hard to get her to…to set up something she would need if something happened.” Billy explains.
Billy adds: “and we also have to go in every three months now to get CAT scans and CT scans.”
The Brown family has made a lot of money with their show, but not enough to build a private hospital in the wilderness. Moving to Washington was a practical choice.
“I guess it was just time, you know, the Good Lord, it was just time…” Billy says. “You wouldn’t believe what he gave us.”
“We thought everything was gone,” he says, referring to Ami’s lung cancer. “But you have a little bit of faith…he gave us more than we could ever imagine.”
As you may recall, around this time last year, her odds of survival were placed at around 3%. She’s still alive and well.
“We could not have ordered it in a dream and it have been better than what he had given us,” Billy says. “It’s just a brand new world.”
Billy and Ami weren’t the only Brown family members who had input on the matter.
“The doc was saying how hard it was on Mom and everything,” Bear explains in that same interivew.
“We all figured that it was just time” to move, he reveals, adding “and the best thing to do” was to head to Washington.
Bear explains: “because if we were waiting until Mom was healed up to move back…”
“It seems like one thing that may never happen and she would be constantly waiting,” Bear concludes. That is very honest of him.
Billy says that, even though moving to the “Lower 48” was a big decision, he is fond of the 435 acre property he purchased.
“It really surprised us,” Billy says of their new homestead. “Because it’s wonderful what we’ve got.”
“The people down here,” Billy adds. “It’s a lot like Alaska to be honest with you.”
Rumor has it that some of Billy’s new neighbors are resentful of people they see as entertainment industry “big-shots” turning their town into a reality show set.
“People’s attitudes and all,” Billy says. “Critters that we’ve never heard of.”
During the season premiere, Billy commented on their new home.
“We’ve fought hard,” Billy said at the time. “We deserve to be here.”
“I think this is definitely the biggest adventure we’ve had,” he added.
Thankfully, Washington gave them the right balance of a rural wooded environment while also being a location from which they could take Ami to the hospital when needed.
We have to admit, however, that many fans are still curious about whatever happened to the family’s plans to move to Colorado.

Alaskan Bush People Premiere DESTROYS Kardashian Ratings!
On Sunday, August 19, Alaskan Bush People‘s new season premiered. Fans and viewers got to see the Brown family in Washington for the first time.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians had an episode during the same timeslot. And if Kris got cross on camera, we can only imagine how she feels off camera.
Because Alaskan Bush People‘s ratings absolutely trounced those of KUWTK. They had more than three times as many viewers.
Let’s take a look at Showbuzz Daily‘s Top 150 List and see how ratings went during that August 9 timeslot.
Alaskan Bush People: 3.4 million viewers on Discovery.
90 Day Fiance: 2.2 millon viewers on TLC.
Fear The Walking Dead: 1.9 million viewers on AMC.
Finding Dory: 1.7 million viewers on The Disney Channel.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians did not even bring in 1.1 million for E!
What’s more is that Alaskan Bush People‘s season premiere had nearly double the claim on the coveted 18-49 demographic.
Now, season premiere numbers can give a bit of a bump. That’s normal.
But we’re talking about a difference of more than two million people. That looks like more than a bump, folks.
We’re talking about a family considered to be American royalty getting less than one-third of the market share that the Brown family did.
So, why did viewers tune in?
Well, it wasn’t just to see Bear Brown run through the woods of Washington State.
Viewers are genuinely concerned about Ami Brown’s ongoing cancer battle. They love Ami.
Even though they know that the Brown family spends their off season living large in a Beverly Hills mansion, fans have forged a powerful attachment to the family members.
They want to see how Ami is doing for themselves.
They want to see how the family is adjusting to Washington.
Does this spell doom for the Kardashians?
No, and we don’t mean to suggest that Kris Jenner will see the ratings and start exposing one of her children to carcinogens to attract viewers.
(Insert the obligatory what was really in those doughnuts Kris tried to feed Khloe joke)
First of all, the Kardashian brand is no longer exclusively and inextricably linked to Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
That’s why Kourtney is a millionaire living comfortably and Kylie is on the verge of becoming a billionaire.
Reality television gave the Kardashians a stepping stone that they’ve used to grow their brands and their wealth. It was a means to an end.
We don’t think that this new ratings dynamic means that viewers want totally different things.
If networks respond to this by churning out show after show of families living in unspeakably remote wilderness while one of them battles a terminal illness, it would be a mistake.
This is probably a symptom of overexposure. Everybody knows who the Kardashians are and what they’re up to.
The big surprises that had everyone interested — things like Tristan’s cheating and Kylie’s pregnancy — are old news.
Right now, the Kardashians are focusing on feuding between Kim and Kourtney. They are grown-ass adult mothers of three each and their feuds aren’t as meme-worthy as they once were.
The Brown family might not be more authentic than the Kardashians, but they’re more relatable and they’re way, way less overexposed.
That, we think, is what’s happening here.
