On this Sunday’s episode of Breaking Amish: LA the guys and gals get “English” makeovers, and given the fact that they are in Los Angeles, of course the young ladies are going to have to tackle the least Amish and most intimidating of English attire: the bikini! Above we see the candle-burning Betsy working a bit of the oldest kind of witchcraft by trying on a teeny tiny orange-striped two piece.

In the official TLC bio for Breaking Amish LA‘s Betsy it describes her as “recently married” and in the premiere episode she reveals, “I ended up getting married and left my parents’ home. I figured if you get married, everything’s perfect. I had no clue.” In a conversation (spoken in Pennsylvania Dutch) with another young woman, the issue of whether or not Betsy’s husband would object comes up, to which Betsy replies in a voice-over, “My husband cannot stop me. I won’t stay.” ()
That was pretty much all we knew about Betsy’s husband… until now! His name is Allen Yoder and he and Betsy (which is short for Elizabeth) got married on November 17, 2012 in Millersburg, Ohio. Betsy’s name at the time was Elizabeth Byler — and yes, that is the same last name as Rebecca Byler from the original Breaking Amish, but that is not uncommon in the Amish community where there are a number of common surnames (like Byler and Yoder). I am guessing her name now is Elizabeth Yoder.
Betsy is downright gorgeous don’t you think? And I assume by Allen’s lack of facial hair and trimmed ‘do that he isn’t a practicing Amish — and when I revisited what Betsy said in the premiere I realized she never actually said her husband had a problem with her going to Los Angeles, merely that she wasn’t going to let him stop her.
