I am TOTALLY with you on this. I'll even go so far as to admit I felt some level of satisfaction watching it dissolve that quickly. She was way too smug and way too willfully ignorant about the whole thing. The fact that she's got kids she's also dragged into this pisses me off, too. How irresponsible of her.

This is the point we've been arguing here. I don't think anyone would disagree with the rest of your post. I'd go a step further, however, and say NO person should be okay with their partner acting the way Cole did in that situation.

Even assuming all of this is true (which it probably is) Colt is free to send her home. It's like when someone is in an unhappy marriage and cheats. It doesn't matter how awful their spouse is, if they're unhappy they need to leave, not cheat. Larissa's bad behavior doesn't excuse Cole allowing his family to verbally attack her and doing nothing to defend her. Also? Colt knows what he was doing when he started "dating" Larissa. He was buying a woman he'd have no chance in hell of getting here in the States. He's a dorky guy who lives with his mom and dresses up his cats who has likely never had a serious relationship in his life who has the body of an overweight middle aged woman. He knew the score when he brought her over here. Let's not be naïve.

Oh yeah, I wasn't expecting Colt to argue against John or anything, just shut it down. Anyone would be kicked out of my house if they came at someone that way, period. He's the host, it's his home, it's his responsibility to make sure EVERYONE feels safe and comfortable.

Omg, that KILLED me. I cannot even imagine my mother's face if I showed up at her house, in my early twenties, and demanded she take a day off work to scratch my scalp and watch TV because I broke up with my boyfriend. That was never mentioned in the podcast so I don't know if it actually happened or not but DAMN.

Yep. And all of that "I made a vow...for better or for worse" bullshit had me howling. John was her FIFTH husband. So NOW she gives a shit about her vows? Please. Just one of about 50 reasons I hate Debra. When she kept going on and on about how nothing is more important than her family I wanted to punch her through the screen. I wanted Ronnie to tell her what John did with her employer but knowing Deb, she either wouldn't believe her or would just continue to wring her hands and make excuses for him. I really loathe Debra. The real Terra sounds even worse than the actress! I almost had to turn the podcast off a couple of times, it was THAT bad.

I wasn't trying to make it a chivalry thing. More of a common decency thing. If my female cousin came into my husband and my house and came at him in an aggressive way, I'd shut it down too. You are supposed to stand up for your spouse, especially when they're being attacked by someone on "your" side. There is simply no excuse for Colt's lack of action in that situation. If my fiancé and I were in that situation and he acted like Colt did, then he wouldn't ever become my husband. You're supposed to treat your intended like your spouse. You don't go from letting them get verbally attacked by your family to suddenly standing up for them the day after the wedding. And who cares if Larissa didn't seem frightened or intimidated? Colt still should have stood up for her. That's what any decent person does for their partner.

I look up and to the right.

Could not agree more. I couldn't stop laughing when she said she was looking for a man, not a boy, on the eve of her wedding to someone barely out of his teenage years. She's ridiculous.

Who cares? Colt's cousin is an asshole, does that give someone the right to go into his home and verbally attack him? Like I said before, I don't care if Larissa started it (which she didn't), it was Colt's job as her husband to intervene and shut it down. It was HIS cousin verbally attacking HIS wife in THIER home. Completely unacceptable. Colt is a passive aggressive pussy. The fact that he couldn't even see where she was coming from when she was trying to express to him that he should've stood up for her speaks volumes. He's nothing but a scared little man child still sucking on mama's teat. In case you can't tell, I really dislike Colt.

I totally agree. Deb showed her true colors when she went wedding dress shopping with Larissa. The nasty look on her face when she was telling Larissa to choose between a green card and a wedding dress showed me everything I needed to know about who she is as a person. She acts like a sweet, innocent old lady but underneath is conniving, passive aggressive and nasty as they come. Colt didn't end up being a passive aggressive douchebag on his own.

I'd bet my house Leida never tips. She's too much of an asshole to even think of it.

Naw. Look, I'm far from a Larissa fan, but I felt for her in that situation. His cousin started that fight, immediately laying into Larissa without any provocation on her part. He was calling her a bitch and other names and Colt never even attempted to intervene. Larissa is in a new country and speaks English as a second language. You don't let your male family member aggressively verbally attack her for any reason. You stand up for your wife in the home you share, even if it's just telling them both to stop. Hell, even if she HAD started it, which she didn't, it was his job as her husband to shut it down. You don't let a grown man call your wife a bitch in her own home. That is completely uncalled for. And when he talked to her about it later he blamed the whole thing on her and gaslighted the shit out of her. When your wife is upset because your grown male cousin was aggressively calling her a bitch in her own home you don't respond "well don't be a bitch." Colt enjoys stirring the pot and creating drama with Larissa and his family members. He's a snake.

EXACTLY. It's beyond obvious that his "change of heart" came about when someone at the consulate told him he couldn't get on a plane to the US with Ritchie sans Olga's permission. The fact that he hadn't even applied for the visa when he was talking to Olga about taking the baby proves he was planning on snatching that kid from jump. Piece of shit. That ring was plan C for him.

This is why I just can't feel bad for Ashley. She's a 31 year old woman with two kids. She's planned 2 weddings, then backed out last minute because her fiancées cheated on her. She says she's looking for a MAN who will be a good husband and father and won't cheat on her. So what does she do? Hook up with a 19 year old player who idolizes his father that has the nickname "pussy skinz." Then she smugly ignores everyone trying to warn her about her (third) fiancée, and marries him anyway, after exclaiming that if jesus himself came down and told her he was cheating she wouldn't do anything. Now we're supposed to feel bad for her? She went into this with her eyes WIDE open and has no one to blame but herself. I'm starting to think that Ashley is afraid of commitment herself and intentionally chooses partners she know won't work out so SHE doesn't look like the one to blame for her relationships failing.

Maybe when it comes to dating them. When it comes to just having sex, it'd be pretty damn difficult to NOT be able to find a man ready and willing to snatch that V card.

I would be SHOCKED if they tried a 15 year old as an adult for vehicle theft. It's not like he murdered someone. I got in DEEP reading that last night. I really dislike Megan and have ZERO idea why she's coming after Sarah. Sarah is coming across much better than Megan in this twitter feud, honestly.

One of the reasons I loathe her so much is her complete and utter refusal to accept any responsibility for her part in the whole thing. Even when she was being interviewed about the early days, she still had a giggle and sounded starry eyed when describing John. It was sick. I honestly don't think she feels the slightest bit guilty about any of it.

I didn't say having a stupid name makes you a bad person. It just means your parents gave you a stupid name. Certainly not the kid's fault.

Then had her friend send her a private plane to leave! And you KNOW she would've done that with or without the cameras there! It's all I can think about when they have scenes together. They both look like some jacked up E.T.

It's possible. I got my interpretation from watching Riley in other scenes, too. Girl is spoiled and she doesn't seem very appreciative of anything she has. I'm not blaming Riley, per se, more Kandi. It drives me crazy how Kandi never reprimands her when Riley sasses her. Also, when Kandi said they just got back from Dubai, she snotted "yeah, a MONTH ago." She didn't say "but that was with everyone" which would have been the natural response if that was what she meant, you know? Yummy Tummy Heather! I miss her. Ramona will always be a classic housewife because she is unintentionally hilarious. She doesn't have to try to create drama, it just follows her. I totally agree with everything you said. The Atlanta women have to try WAY too hard. Could you imagine going to a party and having the hostess try and start one of those games? I'd have an "emergency" at home I had to get to, stat.

Well, I mean if anything was 100% accurate as to events that happened we'd be watching surveillance video, not a podcast, dramatized show or even documentary. I was speaking more of events, not exact words, names, ect. I haven't seen anything, save for Tonia's chance meeting with John's mistress, that was made up for the show. That was my point. As an aside, if my name was Shad, I'd want it changed too. Shad is a ridiculous name. Sorry, I had to say it. I actually rewound and re-listened to that part in the podcast because I thought I misheard it. :D

That sounds suspicious. I remember the IVF but...they know what sex the embryo is when they implant it so they would've known what sex the child would be.

Melissa does a hell of a lot more than Teresa. She's got the store and her kids are younger than Tre's. Plus, if Tre has time to hit the gym for more than an hour TWICE a day, she can't be THAT busy.

That goes to her original point tho: don't discuss private family matters at a table with others present if you don't want others' opinions. It's quite simple, really. Teresa was trying to embarrass Melissa in front of the group and Jackie threw it right back at her. I love her for it. Probably because she tells us every 2 minutes.
