That is just so absolutely wrong. On every level. Wouldn't Child Protective Services (or whatever it's called in whatever state they are in currently ) and any relevant licensing boards have an issue with this? That's really upsetting.

Ok well hope I can remember to watch (and not fall asleep). So... what is going on in real time that youre referencing? I am a fly by night watcher :)

And what stellar work they had done to show for it. They look so distorted and on their short bodies their topheaviness makes them look like they will topple over. I am sorry but it looks like a matter of time before her girls do it as well. Like how the whole family has become blonde.

I only saw a little bit of this but I find I am getting really bored with Kenny and Armando. Well more so with Kenny. I do like him but I feel like he is trying too hard to be on the show, always offering comments that have innuendo and laughing at his own wit kind of like a middle schooler. I know he's above that.

Come on- don't we have any sleiths here who can dig up Marlene's wedding photos or at least pix of her when she was young? I'm really curious to see what she looked like. I think Loren is very pretty

ooh man and I was thiniking she was a level above the usual ones they have one. She's artiulate, speaks his language more than respectably, gets along with his family.........and now this ^^^

You win the prize for January 2023. That was excellent. Thank you

We can only hope :)

And the question for the ages remains Why does Shawn still have that job? Seriously......each time I see her I wonder that anew.

Hebrew is the OFFICIAL language of Israel. Yiddish is not generally spoken other than in the super orthodox communities ( Hello Shtissel) or usually older immigrants from Europe. There's a lot of history with Yiddish, but I believe it is viewed as the language of the holocaust. Other than possibly in a Yeshiva, schooling is not done in Yiddish ( other than if someone is taking a language course) in Israel. It;s Hebrew, English and Arabic.

IKR. This episode, I liked Alexei even more. Loren was pretty ok this one as well, but Alexei was ON. And Loren's mother saying how will she get the kids to daycare when she doesn t know where it will be. Alexei was like please get a grip. We;ll know where they're going by the time they are going. Her mother was really looney tunes. Her father was over the top with custody etc but he was making sense. Her mother was not at all presenting any kind of logical thought.

It was pretty funny watching - I always enjoy Robert and Anny. They are the least phony and trying to stay on the show, in my opinion and Robert is a hoot. It was entertaining seeing the new alliances between the different cast members. I suspect production "suggests /advises" some paths to take. Andrei and Angela? Ed and Beasly, And of course the 3 wiminz with Shady telling Liz she has beautiful toes and so on. Thankfully I did get some good chuckles.

They are speaking both. Well I am not sure if its Ukrainian but they are speaking Hebrew and another Ukrainian or Russian sounding language. I think mostly among themselves like when Alexi is talking to his mother alone, it's often not Hebrew. For the parents, I'm sure they're fine with Hebrew but more comfortable with the mother tongue. For Alexi I suspect Hebrew is his preferred. Then again, I think he is really gifted with languages. he may have an accent in English but he definitely has a way with it and seems to really be pretty comfortable (he uses slang and puns readily).

I don't remember Loren's parents being so awful. I mean they sure are now. I wonder if some of it is to ensure that their kids get a paycheck? After all, I'm thinking the trip had to have been funded by TLC and if they're not going to be interesting..... you know. But yes I agree they are like caricatures. AWFUL

So I think I've shared that I'm old .....I had to look up smokeshow. I understood your post but was curious to see Sure enough----Nov 18, 2020 — Urban Dictionary defines a “smokeshow” as someone who is “so hot” that “you basically see smoke coming off of them.” In case there's anyone else like me who is new to the expression.

oops I was not alert when I said they had their Nigerian men. OF course, Sumit is not Nigerian. I must have had Angie on the brain. :) And yes Angie is not a Cali girl. Well anyway,, how lovely that Jenny and Kimbahli could bond so deeply.

I came here to say I think Shai is a cute enough kid, and I think Alex is very attractive. What's that expression--------beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I get that we each differing taste, and I can see where you might find Alex a bit strange looking. I wonder if it's his personality or humor that enhances it all for me. :)

Magemaud wrote The biracial girl, Marlee, is Skyla’s daughter and London is Scottie’s. Skyla also has another daughter and a son with her ex, who is incarcerated. Angela’s other daughter, Scottie, has two more girls but since Angela and Skyla basically raised Scottie’s daughters while she was in prison, Skyla often claims to have six children. And Geekmom wrote- Klassy with a capital K. Maybe I have nothing more to add. You've covered it accurately and beautifully. I guess the produers thought having the wiminz meet up and bond along the streets of the Big Apple would be a nice touch. It was so forced and phoney looking. I agree Shaeeda is an attractive woman but some of her outfits have been pretty bizarre in the not tasteful way. Jenny and Kim, I'm older than both and in my humble opinion, they do show more signs of aging. ( and not too quick mentally either). But it's good they have their Nigerians and their San Diego California girl culture to unite them. :)

I had asked a while ago on some thread about Asuelo as he sure has been missing for so so long. I thought at least at the time it wasn't truly clear but I guess the more time goes on and the longer missing---- we can figure it's over. ( which brings us to- so where would he be? how would he be supporting himself? For Kalani, her parents seemed to always be supplementing her TLC income. ). And by the way, she was always a big girl as I find most Somwans are, but she has really gotten large and in charge. Her sister is much smaller. I also don't find them too funny or enlightening. And you can tell I am not up on things, but where is Thais? Is it just that the brother is pretty funny or is she out of the picture? Robert is still one of the best. I'll add that although Kenny and Armando might be more normal, Kenny's banter on Pillowtalk is very forced and annoying, and dare I say very very immature. He's like a middle schooler with sex. It will be interesting to see how Loren fares not speaking the language and not having her comfort zones around her. I still love Alexi. She should worship the ground he walks on because he is so good to her and for her.

Best comment award.

I too thought Amber was almost at a new low. I did agree with Dr D that she was not being clear. I mean, she should understand she is going to be asked some questions and at least if she doesn't want to talk about it, then have a good deflection or something. I agree Gary looked really good. (though- can I be superficial? I get that he's a very low key and casual guy but what's with wearing the baseball hat backwards to an indoor studio?) I still feel bad for Caitlyn and Tyler. They are doing as good as one could hope- which is really pretty good. They were each dealth such a bad lot with their families and the crap they grew up around. They do seem to say what is expected for them to say almost like they are programmed, but at least they have something positive to model. I also was impressed with Ashley and Bar, well more impressed with Ashley. I think she may be the only one on any of these Teen Mom series who is legitimately seeking to better herself with an actual profession. I know others have had their "business" (hello Farrah, hello Maci, hello Caitly, so many to name- even Kale) but Ashley is going to a real school to study for a real career where she will be employed and have excellent employment opportunities. I hope Bar stays clean. I did not know about Ashley's father. She was so impressive to me. I was even somewhat impressed wtih Briana when she said she reacted and was regretful for that - and she felt that way again and had to remove herself. I thought at least it showed some signs of maturity. Maybe some of them do grow up.

Well here I was watching the 997th part of the tell all, with Leah being interviewed by Dr Drew and his sidekick ( Neesa? Nissa? ). I cannot believe that I am saying this, but Leah was actually impressive. She seemed to have matured greatly and even ( I cannot believe I am saying this at ll) but she spoke sincerely and intelligently. Not only tha but she looked good too. Are pigs flying? Because I am sincere.

I could agree that both moms are off, way off. I also have to say I don't think that at this point, Natalie is capable of being real or normal. ... especially I am certain that with cameras around Natalie has zero chance of being real. If there are cameras around, she is all into her primping and awkward movements and facial expressions focusing on her "ready for my close up".. She is too busy thinking about maintaining her income stream as opposed to living life unsubsized.

Honestly, the whole story made zero sense to me. It just did not ring true. Something was so off about their chemistry together. I guess he thinks he is who Leah thinks or thought he is?
