My guess is that she ended up moving in with them. She seems to be the only one gainfully employed and probably just got a job in Las Vegas. I would be Justine’s mom is the one who had consistently taken care of the kids and helps Justine pay the bills.

Anyone else think they saw the couple moving to Berlin on a previous episode? Since they were coming from Thailand, maybe they did an episode there? I know I remember the husband.

If it was Anna, you know Amber would never let her forget it. With Elizabeth, she will come around and be ok with it because she is the golden child. Well, now they are going to get at least three seasons out of this pregnancy.

It’s interesting that nothing is in Jade’s name. I guess the convict doesn’t actually trust her. Does anyone really believe he invested the money he receives and doubled it?

This season is so boring. I miss the drama and craziness of the earlier seasons. There is no one I even remotely like or want to root for to make it. I don’t even understand the “actress” with the boyfriend who has been in prison for something like 15 years with 5 more to go. What is the point of her being on this show? It isn’t as though they are going to be on Love After Lockup any time soon. She isn’t getting acting work after being on this show, other than cosplay at Medieval Times. I love that we finally see a lawyer on the show that actually gives good advice. I don’t believe Latisa didn’t see a problem with her husband “working” for her business. I think this is nothing more than her trying to come up with a storyline since she otherwise wouldn’t have one.

As someone who grew up Catholic, and is still a practicing Catholic, you see the Meisha type all the time. They either come to Catholicism later in life or come back after decades away. They tend to be more devout, more conservative and more likely to think they are closer to God and better than the rest of us who have lived our lives in the Church, volunteered and just lived good lives. They are the first to criticize someone else for not being a good enough Catholic. The other poster is correct. After almost every mass there will be a group of older women bunched together in a couple of pews, usually in the back, quietly praying the rosary. If you walked by then you wouldn’t even hear what they are saying. Meisha and Nicola come off of people who are basically fetishizing religion. I stopped feeling sorry for Amanda when she started treating Razman like garbage. He has been more than perfectly lovely to her and she takes every opportunity to cut him down. I understand she is in pain from losing her husband but it doesn’t entitle her to treat Razman as she has been. A part of me thinks Amanda wants Razman to treat her horribly so she can go home and talk about how she put her heart out there and he stomped on it. Then she can be a victim again. I wouldn’t be surprised if her family is over her woe is me and on her to pick up the pieces for her kids.

Edinburgh - I actually wondered if maybe it was the daughter who had the medical problem and her parents wanted to stay close. It could be an illness we can’t see or even anxiety. I say this since she knew for years her parents were going to move near wherever she went to school and parents following their kids to college is just not common.

Didn’t Amy and Michael buy their house? Why wouldn’t she stay in it and Michael leave? Where would Tammy get the money for a house when supposedly everything she had was going towards rehab? Amy living with Tammy and the two kids is the worst thing for her. She will always be taking care of Tammy and doing her bidding even if Tammy is more mobile now.

Wasn’t there an article that they were trying to get a new show, without June, where Alana and Dralin get weight lost surgery? Maybe they are trying to spin the arrest because they are worried the future show might be canceled.

I don’t know how to post it but TMZ is reporting that Dralin was arrested for DUI and drugs after a police chase with Alana in the car. Another man is the car was arrested for drugs as well. Alana was not arrested. I am still not going to ever be ok with Alana dating a guy four years older than her as a teenager. I think she was 16 and he was 20 when they started. What normal 20 year-old man wants to date someone who by law can’t nearly anything without a parental consent.

I think she has to believe her parents are innocent. Acknowledging the truth kind of shatters her own identity as the daughter of successful millionaire parents with a TV show. Her entire career is based on the show. I cannot imagine how embarrassed she must be by it all. It’s easier to just claim they were unjustly persecuted. At some point she will admit to herself they are guilty, she just likely won’t admit it publically.

I have been thinking a lot about it too but now I am more on the have they finally realized they alone caused this to happen. Do they accept the pain their kids are going through is their fault? I can’t imagine having to come to terms with going away to prison for years but I also can’t imagine having to leave my children behind while I am gone solely because I decided to commit fraud. I do have to say that if it was the day before I have to report to prison I would probably spend it throwing up due to my high anxiety while praying for a miracle to keep me out for another day.

I never understood the point of the adoption. Originally, it was that Usman’s mother insisted he marry a second wife so he can have children. Usman didn’t even seem interested in having children. How does adopting his brother’s child fulfill Usman’s mother’s demand? She already has that grandchild. It’s just like moving chess pieces around on the board. You aren’t adding anything to the original number. Kim is lonely and will put up with Usman or anyone for the sake of having a man. Poor Jamal is going to spend his life picking off the pieces of her bad relationships. The entire Jovi and Yara thing is just stupid. So Jovi is supposed to pay two rents? He may make good money but not that good of money. I highly doubt Yara’s makeup line brings in much money. I think this is just storyline created by TLC because Jovi and Yara really don’t have enough juicy problems to make a storyline. I almost always fast forward through Ed. He just comes off as a horrible human being who enjoys gaslighting every woman he is with. I am hoping this is the end of Angela and Michael because I need her off my TV. TLC seems to love putting emotional abusers on this show.

I think the couple in The Hague didn’t have any real disagreements on where to live. The wife wanting to live in the city center was likely just a storyline for people who couldn’t bring the drama. HHI always seems to be trying to bring some drama to hold our attention.

Amber going for Puppy’s throat made me look at her in such a new light. Who gets so mad that they go for a friend’s throat, a pregnant friend at that? I couldn’t even figure out how the argument escalated to that point or why Amber was contacting Eric’s wife. Yes, Puppy makes stupid choices but those are her choices to make. What I hate is knowing that by next season they will likely be friends again and it will be as though nothing happened. It’s obvious that standards for friendship/relationships are just much lower for people on this show. At least there was no Britney and Marcelino to fast-forward through.
