I wish I could read the mind of the bridal shop saleswoman as Kalani and Co. left. I was half expecting to hear the voiceover guy from SYTTD, “Emotions run high as Kalani and her entourage leave the salon empty-handed...” and did Kolini refer to herself as “Auntie B?” Three guesses what the B stands for! Wonder why Mama is on crutches.

Re Eric and Leida’s wedding. I heard no mention of a meal, just appetizers, cake and a freakin’ CASH BAR. Eric wants to bring in decorations from Party Central? Mylar balloons and those honeycomb paper wedding bells, perhaps? This is going to be the social event of the year in Baraboo.

Tassels from the sewing notions department of JoAnn’s Fabrics

Oh yes, they certainly did. Supposedly Eric rented a place nearby for Leida's family to stay in while they were in Wisconsin, but she stayed at Eric's. They showed us her first glimpse of the hovel and her reaction. Then in another scene, (which could have happened the next day) she is shown taking her parents to see the mess when Eric isn't home. That doesn't make any sense to me. If her parents would veto the idea of her staying in the US because Eric's living conditions weren't up to their standards, why on earth would she take them to see it before it was cleaned up? A normal reaction would be to say, "Let's get this place cleaned up BEFORE my parents see it" and try to put their minds at ease about her staying there instead of confirming their fears that she's moving into a shithole.

That’s what they all say. Yeah, I know, but after seeing how angry Steven gets, Olga probably was afraid to say no to unprotected sex.

I thought they said they had used protection every time except the one she got pregnant.

Shrinkage? (another Seinfeld reference, this show just begs for them)

That reminds me, what's the story with Eric's oldest daughter, I think it's Tenille? Where does she live? Didn't we "meet" her in the first episode? Has there been any mention of her since?

That apartment must have a "low flow" showerhead

If this is Eric (and I'm pretty sure it is) he turned 41 in July.

I know! Who flies from Indonesia to New York when they're going to Wisconsin? Especially when they're supposed to be rich! That's why I think it's all fake and designed to create the most drama.

What I believe happened is that Eric drove to NYC picked up Leida (and Alless and Reina) at JFK and they went to the PA cabin for a few days before they went back to the airport to get the rest of the family. They ALL stayed at the cabin at least one night (remember there weren’t enough bedrooms for everyone) before heading off to Wisconsin. When Leida’s family was returning to Indonesia, again via JFK for some unknown reason, THEY might have flown there as they were “used to staying at five star hotels” but apparently at least Eric drove from Wisconsin again in order to drive Leida and Alless back another 15 hour trek. But here’s my theory, that van was a rental for the show and the only time Eric actually drove the entire way was from PA to WI with the whole fam-damily. Edited for clarity: IOW, there was only a one way cross country roadtrip that we SAW, and even that might have been edited to show just the beginning and the end. Dodge vans (or whatever he was driving) are readily available to rent. When they showed Eric, Leida and Alless leaving NYC after saying goodbye to her family, he could have been dropping that van off at the airport, and flying, not driving to Wisconsin. Anything's possible with this misleading editing.

Jay proudly said his father’s nickname was “Skinz” (or Skins) “because he got all the ladies” or words to that effect. Jay’s tattoo reads “Jayskinz” in a mirror image, so maybe that’s because he’s known as “Junior Skinz.”

oooh, I'm scared...

The “child more mature than the parent” is yet another tired and predictable theme on this shit show

Fer, you got some ‘splainin’ to do

Spoiler if you’re curious if Leida and Eric get married

You obviously didn't go couch shopping with Colt's mother

JAY definitely would be happier, but Ashley would never allow him to spend time where he's going to interact with women in various states of undress. If she wanted a fiance she can trust, she probably shouldn't have gone with a 20 year old Jamaican vacation fuck "playah" who has a tattoo that says "Jayskinz" on his forearm. Oh, that's right. She doesn't care what he did in his old life Jamaica, the only thing that matters is that he behaves now that he's virtually captive in her PA townhouse.

Supposedly, Eric is an "avionics technician" so he has something to do with electrical systems in airplanes. That just reminded me of something, maybe he works for a major airline and gets employee discounts or passes but that airline's Indonesia routes only fly into JFK, hence the two round trips in the van from Wisconsin? Maybe Asuelu meant that Oliver was a FUTURE Big Bro. After all, he said he wants several kids and that one Slut People Condom from Nick isn't going to go too far.

Reminds me of Azan and Nicole telling Robbalee that they have found a storefront for their Makeup/Health Store business but can't drive by it or show her pictures to prove it.

You left out the Leida sniffing the cleaning rag part

Then he said it was "easier" for Tasha to move than for him. Thanks, Captain Obvious.

Ashley might have a daytime bartending job and gets home for dinner. She expected Jay to do the laundry and cook the meal. To me that chicken looked DELICIOUS, but she just ate it with a bitch face while grilling him and the angrier she got, the more her one eye turned in towards her nose.
