    Every good story needs a compelling villain AND hero. Unfortunately this season is nothing but villains. You always should have someone to root for in these scripted reality shows. Who are we supposed to cheer for? The closest one has to be Alla who is willing to put up with an oblivious, insecure man-child so she can give her child a better life. Mothers are supposed to sacrifice for their children and that is what she is doing. A noble person.

    No one else is even close.

    Matt- Has not enough emotional maturity yet, and probly never will. Wanting to suck in another poor woman to be controlled as wife number 4. Unable or unwilling to provide the adult emotional stability needed for a healthy relationship.

    Anfisa- This seasons Big Bad, honest about wanting to suck another person dry for their money, but a vampire is still a vampire albeit with collagen lips.

    Jorge- Emotionally immature (notice a trend). Willing to go bankrupt so someone marginally attractive will be with him, even if they tell him straight up that they are using him. Could do lots of good things with all that money. Probly wants to be cuckolded.

    Pedro & Chantel - Just searching for a good looking lay.

    Azan - Not the vile, evil person that Mo is but still taking advantage of a child who is much less attractive than he is.

    Nicole- Obviously not intelligent and has severe emotional problems, which is bad in itself but she also appears to be a terrible mother and that is unacceptable.

    Catfish couple- Dont know much but who has sympathy for someone falling for the Nigerian scams?

    He may have a better looking physique, but his face leaves a lot to be desired whereas I think Nicole is cute/fairly attractive face (especially, I would guess, if she put more effort in her appearance, and I don't mean just slapping on 90lbs of makeup).  I don't get how she finds him "hot" at all, but to each their own.

  2. With stripper mom, it was kind of the pot calling the kettle, was it not, what with her multiple chins, yet calling her sister fat and jealous.

    She was not attractive in the face to start with and her personality just made her sluglier.

     

    That whole family was a train wreck, though.  "Dad" and goose-necking fiance need to take several damn seats.

  3. The extended trailer on ABC.com is hilarious!

    When one "perfect" housewife asks how she (Katie Mixon) got a pizza stain on the back of her sweater, she says she was either wearing it backward when she ate the pizza or she's wearing it backward now (glances to see if her tag is in the front)..."I'm wearing it backward now."  
     

    LMAO sounds exactly like me and something I would do.  I'd probably be more in the fit camp, but distracted/lazy fit camp, love it. :-)

    Here's a short video about current coastal North Carolina dialects. Early settlers in the area were largely from England and Ireland, which is still reflected in the native language today.

     

    I live in the southern Piedmont area of NC (middle of the state). I grew up in the northern Piedmont. I'm at least eighth-generation North Carolinian. My ancestors are from England, as well, and settled in the foothills (just east of the mountains) of NC after coming over.

    Large parts of NC were also settled by Scottish.  There's a town where the Scottish accent still prevails to this day, it's really fascinating.

  5. Did not initially like this season, hence waiting until it just dropped on Netflix to watch (and still not thrilled about Hotel, overall), but this episode took the cake with Gaga's awful acting.  I think it was episode 9 that saw me cringing over Peter's accent as he played March.  Prior to that, I actually liked and respected the work it must entail to maintain that accent, but wtf episode 9?

    How many times did they film Gaga with the detectives before deciding it was passable as "good enough"?

    Narkyia, oy. The Nigerian Prince must be packing quite the royal scepter, I'm sayin. What about the wife in Alabama? The one who's very much alive? Why did she tell Narkyia where he was? If some random woman called me and asked where my husband was I wouldn't tell her! The whole story is as full of holes as Swiss cheese!

    wHAT!??? WHUT??
    I have to go back and watch this episode, did she travel outside the country to meet him?

    Yes. They both deserve each other. He was so afraid of "Feminist" American women that he had to look into a population of exploitable women.  She will bleed him dry. 

    The exploitable exploiting the exploited?

    I could not stop laughing when Jorge said that after he told Anfisa his secret she became cold.   You mean before that she was warm.  I thought she just had one setting....frozen.   The Nigerian prince living in Alabama whose baby mama was not dead was just too crazy.  I guess there is really a lid for every crazy pot. Oh Alla girl....run.  Matt drove his ex-wives away with his crazy jealously.  Or....maybe I'd like to see pictures of them to make sure they are still alive.

    OMG

    I missed about 13 minutes, or, apparently, everything...

    He is really in Alabama???!!!

    I'm glad it's on this show though. This woman is basically telling us, "He's a scumbag, but I am sooooo desperate, I'll put up with anything to have a husband!' Seriously, this guy could probably bring his wife over with him and move her in with them and she'd be like, "I was really angry but he kept talking to me and I forgave him because I was sooooooooo desperate!"

    This is a sweet, vibrant lady who deserves better!

    I was LOVING her lip color.

    As has already been mentioned, WHY are they calling it a "catfish"? Total misappropriation.

    Oh, yes, Anfisa. I'm sure your apt. in Russia was bigger and nicer than this one. So why is she here? Oh, that's right, it's purely for love!

    Azan, dump Nicole while you are still in your own country. It will be so much easier for you. Put her on a plane and start fresh trolling the internet for a new American. 

    Stop! I'm dying! All of you with the camel jokes are freakin' geniuses!

    Russia, though a country with beautiful people and gorgeous historic architecture, is a highly impoverished, garbage can of a country that reeks..literally singe the hair in your nose stinks. Public toilets are huge holes in the ground (women, yep, you straddle a two wooden footholds and do your business, yes, even in winter, it's closed off, yes, so not like standing out in the street, but it's not fully enclosed/heated, if it is, you're lucky!   Even at decent hotels, you aren't able to use (excuse me, flush) toilet paper.

     

    It's been a good while since I've been, but I'm suspect that their major infrastructure has changed so drastically as to upgrade it to US first-world standards in too many places.  In other words, Anfisa is most likely, most definitely lying, unless she was some Russian heiress, in which case, I don't think we'd be where we are with her endlessly entertaining us.

    She was literally wearing a button down and jeans. Matt's clenched jaw when he was describing her going out was creepy.

    Sounds like my ex, who allowed NO makeup and would literally yell if I brushed my hair after getting out of the shower before getting off my sorry, lazy ass to go run errands to get him whatever he wanted.  She should run..FAST!

  9. Did you catch the in the preview clip for next week that Anfisa tries on a $45,000 wedding gown?! TLC also played the part about Anfisa musing how Jorge promised her whatever she wanted if she came.....good grief, ridic, ridic, ridic.

    Not sure, of course, if it's the one she ends up asking for (or getting), but WHAT?!

    You know, it's funny...I have been larger, much larger in size, and men who were attracted to me never called me "big woman," "heavyset" or "chubby." They use words like voluptuous, meat on your bones. beautiful, also there is the obligatory love the big ass type of comment.

    I haven't been over to spoilers yet, but Gabe strikes me as insincere.

    I thought it was positive he was addressing what would be on many people's minds, him being attracted to someone as large as Danielle (though I think her looks also work against her, I am an awful person for saying that, but she's no Mo'Nique or Missy Elliot or that Ashley model girl, I think that's her first name?) 

    However, I also immediately wondered if he was being genuine.

  11. LIP WAXING...PLEASE! Especially if you're going to be on TV!

    (to the new girl and her friends)

    AHMYLAWDHAVEMERCY!

    BAHAHA a Azan telling Nicole that basically, he didn't care about her getting her drawers in a bunch because "his country, his culture".

    Bet that's one of the few times she's been stood up to...without immediately cutting that person out of her life.

    Oh, also, I see Anfisa is going for her Razzie this week.

    You're a very kind person. Nicole  didn't even know what continent Morocco was on. I highly doubt that fool knows what "social mores" mean. She'd probably assume it's just the elongated formal word for s'mores. "I heard you guys have s'mores in Marrakech! *giggle* Let's go buy some and do sex. *giggle*

    Azan looks like a skinny version of Damon Wayans, Jr...with a perm. Like if Marlon and Damon Jr. had a baby...And gave it a perm.

    o-DAMON-WAYANS-JR-facebook.jpg

    I think he only looks like a busted Wayans brother.

    You are very generous.  I do see similar facial features, sorta similar, a small resemblance, but he is just not attractive (I do think the Wayans brothers are handsome).

     

    Also, to the poster that asked if we're sure Asan is scamming,  I have to admit, I've been asking myself that a lot lately, he doesn't come across like your "typical" "love rat", to coin the phrase, but, statistically, he probably is. :/

  13. I don't see what's so hot to trot about Azan or Pedro.  Azan is fit, but, well, he is not attractive in the face...neither is Pedro, I just can't even..nope, not hotties by any stretch, whatsoever.

    Remember when the learning channel was about learning and not about gawking?

    No? Me either.

    And now, I see they are going to be airing a drama, as in, a real, honest-to-goodness scripted show, vs this "reality" scripted crapfestshow that's been passing for "learning and reality" for so long now.

    I'm Hispanic and live in a heavily Hispanic city, I know quite a few Jorges who pronounce it George and it baffles me too. But it is very common practice, just like shortening down Roberto to Robert. It is especially common among second generation immigrants who are trying to be more Americanized. I don't understand why they don't just change the spelling as well. 

    I actually wondered if that was exactly the reason..and if perhaps, he felt it was more appealing to the pool of women he was fishing in to seem as "American" as possible?  Pure speculation, I of course, don't know his reasons for it, it's just so jarring for my brain/ears. 

     

    Thank you for the insight. :-)

    How cute was the first Moroccan landlord (?) with his turban and his caftan?  He was so adorable! 

    While I found his cultural attire endearing, I thought it was far more telling that he wished her 1,000 blessings just for being there.  That really touched my heart..and hurt it, that she didn't acknowledge it, even if, in her ignorance, didn't understand the significance.

     

    Were we all so lucky to receive such hospitality, especially given how she was dressed and came across.

    I didn't think Dani and Mo ever did it. :)

    Or the landlord would have....

    Back in other posts...I think for one of the other two episodes, but I switch between threads so much, I can't be sure which one it was, some posters were saying they would applaud her basically knowingly, outright thumbing her nose at cultural customs when it comes to her dress and behavior and as much as I am for equal rights, I just can't get behind a mindset like that.  At best, if you have that much issue with a localities customs, don't visit. At worst, understand the danger you could place others in...let alone yourself..and ask yourself if you'd like like to end up on an episode of "Locked Up Abroad" before being so ridiculous, not to mention disrespectful.

     

    Yes, I believe we all deserve equal rights. I also believe that "equal rights", as we understand them, are different than other places do and that covering one's self isn't the definition of "limited freedoms" (please don't feel I am defending or confusing other actions/behaviors to dominate women, I feel there can be a line, whether we agree with it or not, and simply expecting certain modes of dress and conduct, though of course tied to oppressive actions, isn't necessarily one and the same).

     

    I hope  I managed to make some sense above.

    Basically, if you feel the need to thwart the culture you're visiting, go elsewhere or stay home.

    (And no, I don't feel freedom rights activists should have kept quiet, but yes, there is a time and a place and celebrating crude behavior never has a place).

    Jorge just needs to pay a dominatrix here in the states. It would be so much cheaper for him!

    The worst part was after she screwed him over did he get angry with her? No. I mean she had just LOCKED HIM OUT OF HIS OWN ACCOUNTS!

    Jorge just sat there staring at the cameras like a deer in the headlights, like, "I don't know what to do..."

    Jorge is an invertebrate.

    My brain refuses to read his name as "George" and I always, mentally aloud, says, "Jorge".

    I really don't get this..has his family always said it this way and not how we are accustomed to thinking the Spanish pronunciation is? I fear to speculate because it seems like such a sensitive area to tread in.

    I'm curious why it's taken her 8 years and counting. Maybe her cheer salary is paying for her education?

    Except for stunningly beautiful Chantel, all of the U.S. people are doing the same thing most of the others did: Buying a far more attractive partner than they could hope to get here. They either want someone better looking or someone they think will do nothing but live to please them. Or both.  And it's not just the men. 

    And dog help me, I never thought we'd see anyone more tragically ignorant than Danielle. Nicole actually has her beat in that department. Glad she at least had the camera crew following her around over there in Morocco.

    At least Nicole has age in her favor, Danielle is much older, far less excusable, IMO, though not defending total ignorance...people cling to beliefs they want to be true. :/

    Faye is the most entertaining character on the show.  And I see she's still got the gambling habit.

    But when that ATV went over with Savannah and Grayson, I shouted "What a dumb idea, putting your kids on them with no helmets, and they're racing!" I personally know three families who have lost loved ones in ATV accident/rollovers like that.

    I was yelling this as well!  How ridiculous, wouldn't want "helmet hair", though. /s

     

    Todd's disclosure about "manscaping" and discussion of wood in the 08/30/16 episode of his staged funeral was...well, Todd to the max.

    The dentist scene with chase being high (and in the car) was done in a you tube video with a  random dad and his younger (abt 7 years old) son, a few yesrs ago.

    It was funnier then.  

    Renewing their vows?  Done to death. 

    The Chrisleys need better writers.  Yawn.  

    I used to gut-laugh through this series, not so much any more. It's about 85-90% less funny.
