Ep 9. The Great Outdoors

The episode "The Great Outdoors" of Chrisley Knows Best season 2 follows the Chrisley family as they head out on a camping trip. Todd Chrisley, the patriarch of the family, is determined to make this a perfect, Instagram-worthy vacation, but he quickly realizes that camping might not be as easy as it seems.

The episode starts with Todd announcing that they will be going camping for the weekend. He has planned everything down to the smallest detail, from the perfect camping spot to the ideal s'mores recipe. However, the rest of the family is less than thrilled about the idea of sleeping in a tent and spending the weekend surrounded by bugs.

Despite their hesitations, the family sets off on their camping adventure. As soon as they arrive at the campsite, they realize that Todd's plan might be a little too ambitious. Their tent is small and cramped, the bugs are everywhere, and the portable stove he brought doesn't work. The family begins to bicker and complain, convinced that this was a terrible idea.

Throughout the episode, Todd tries to maintain his optimism and positivity, insisting that they just need to "embrace the outdoors." However, as more and more things go wrong, even he starts to lose his cool.

Meanwhile, the rest of the family tries to make the best of the situation. Savannah and Grayson, Todd's younger children, are determined to catch some fish in the nearby lake. Meanwhile, his older children, Lindsie and Chase, are more concerned with getting cell phone service and finding a way out of the wilderness.

As the day goes on, tensions rise and arguments ensue. Todd tries to maintain control, but it becomes clear that his perfect camping trip is falling apart. The Chrisleys end up having to spend the night in a nearby motel, and Todd is forced to admit that perhaps he was a little too rigid in his plans.

Despite their less-than-perfect trip, the family comes together and reflects on their adventure. Todd realizes that his determination to make everything perfect caused unnecessary stress, and the rest of the family learns to appreciate the great outdoors (in moderation, of course).

Overall, "The Great Outdoors" is an entertaining episode that showcases the dynamic and often chaotic Chrisley family. The episode is a fun reminder that sometimes, even the most meticulously planned vacations can go awry, but family and good humor can always save the day.
