I feel bad sharing this but you know this is what we do here right? From the first time I saw Kendra and ever since, she seems like a sweet girl but so creepy -------and her mouth I mean her teeth are just over the top. And her giggle yes is just maddening. Her dad is so good looking and so young looking. Then I have to remind myself that they likely married at around 18 or so and then had their babies so of course he looks young. The dad actually said NOT YET when she said Kiss me Daddy. You know he had to make his whole speech. To me, she exemplifies the role the girls are hoped to play. Meek, timid, all depending on the MAN. I did think Michelle looked better than usual ; at least it looks like she is combing her hair and maybe even using some product. Remember how their hair all looked way back?

Indeed to this. And the one that REALLY gets me ( I notice it with the girls mostly) "AND SO"........."AND SO" I watch but have missed some so please and thank you---- thank you for pointing out that Anna was there(don't think it registered to me) and do they at all discuss her husband (Duggar number one son)? He wasn't there was he? As I said please and thank you

I hear what you are saying but maybe it's the way she says it almost droning on and bored and dead that makes it sound so jarring.like a robot.

The comments about Anfisa saying the only tweak she's had is her lips? and we saw her get botox- no? Well didn't Jorge comment that he bought her new boobs? I am not the best at paying attention to the episodes but I thought for sure that was mentioned. I think I may even remember a price tag($12K?) for the surgeries or "enhancements" he has funded for Anfisa. Am I making this up or anyone else remember this.?

Quite the observation. potentially brilliant....... Will have to test this when next I watch.

Not sure where to post this but I figured that any thread without a specific episode would be the place. Racking my brains but did Briana replace anyone or why was she added? Sorry as I am sure this was discussed somewhere but I must have missed it. Please and thank you.

Applause.:)

Re Leah and her date- I thought it was just the most ridiculous. Like you know they had to have texted/spoken (?)chatted to even agree to meet. And she suddenly seems to remember she should make conversation with him and maybe ask him where he works? Even if there wasn't chemistry or whatever I thought she was so rude to be giggling to the producer about how she didn't like him. Were we supposed to think it was her glass of wine that made her giddy? I just don' t get it. It just seemed so not real.There was barely any convo at all. And yes I think it was the same place that she went to with Jeremy.

Yes I watched last night. In addition to what you all (ya'all) have been mentioning with Brit's friends being single moms, I find it really something that they are so into their church (as Brit said she went Sundays and Sunday nights and Wednesdays etc) and still have kids out of wedlock. Also thought the IVF fundraiser was quite bizarre. I think this is when the appeal of being on reality television is all abou tthe $$. Does anyone know who gets paid on the show? Does her whole family? Does everyone who appears?

Watching the fiftieth replay of the episode, talking about the wedding on Mary's porch... I couldn't hear well and their accents don't help. First of all- who is angie? she was holding the baby at Mary's house.

Just joining the club that doesn't readily admit I watch the show ( my guilty pleasure too). Also, I really appreciate the additional wisdom and knowledge that is shared here as I know I have missed an episode or two or not focused well on each show. (although let's be real, with all the recaps you would think I would be totally in the know:). I still appreciate Loren going after Mahammit and absolutely thought the attractive Jewish woman verbally berating him was even more distasteful to him as a side note. I am still fan of hers. I can see where many of you find her spoiled and all, but I think still that she and Alexei will succeed. Pao and Russ are a big question mark. Finally the one thing I kept forgetting to mention, and each time someone else mentions it I remember---------why was it ok for Anfisa to hit Jorge? And for it not to be brought up and addressed by the dull interview lady ? Wasn't there an issue with Teen Mom (another guilty pleasure of mine) where Amber hit Gary - on camera- and I thought charges were filed.

I really can't quite get what is going on with her parents. I was SHOCKED (is there a stronger word because that is what I was) when he asked for her to go to the hotel with him. I think some of the comments here about the cameras and maybe money did lessen the dad's reaction but omg seriously I still cannot figure that out. I would have feared for Paul's life after that. Also I got the vibe that maybe the parents are relieved to think that their daughter will marry and be taken care of. The Dad did say something (of course translated) about the good life in America that she might have. The whole thing with the parents was just too bizarre. And yes, the house by our standards is really amazingly hodgepodge and bare bones, but I guess where they are, they have a place to sit, a place to eat , a roof over their heads and food to eat so everything additional is a bonus. ( I noticed those plastic lawn chairs that our supermarkets sell for 6.99 seem to be the rage for home decor in Brazil and I think was it Haiti). Also noticed she had her nails did. :)

I thought I was quoting a post but it's not here. Anyway I agree with most of what you are saying- primarily that the host is lousy. With all these people striving to be on tv how they find such lukewarm unsharp people is beyond me. I happen to wish that Mahommit gets deported . He is a horrible person and ABSOLUTELY yes an Andrew Cunaanan vibe (or someone else NOT nice). Deport him. Danielle, as I have said from way back, is truly challenged mentally. I really think that and wish someone would just shoo her off this program and let her go back to her life. The area where I disagree with most of you is that I thought (other than the talking over people) that Loren was great. I thought she was rightly calling out the ones who really went into this for a fake purpose. I didn't quite get the Pao Loren bond , but I did think Loren was right on. ( have to admit I though Pao's question to Anfisa about the golddigger academy was a bizarre and I actually thought Anfisa's reaction to it was pretty sharp).

Huh? I remember the name Cortland but what? I think I have to go to Teen Mom Catch up school.

I always thought she was attractive - but now just a caricature. I find her really harsh and abrasive, but I do have sympathy for her (and Sophia). I mean this in the most compassionate, non derogatory way but she needs real help. She is always so reactive that she gets in the way. I think she is bright and has some very good qualities but somehow is making all the wrong choices. Consistently. It's very tragic. And her parents-------------well her mother particularly-oy. I missed the MTV awards show with her and Sophia. double oy. Though I have to say Sophia was looking less awkward. (but really a 7 yr old .) Triple oy

I sometimes browse the regular forum for TM2 but haven't gone to this one---- and I am so touched reading the last few pages- wishing you all strength and better outcomes- improved days ahead and lots of healing. It just goes back to that old saying that you never know what battles people are fighting........ hugs to each and every one of you.

Didn't Kail have all sorts of plastic surgery a while back? She looks so sloppy and messy and dirty and broken out and just BAD. I know you gain weight with pregnancy but even her face just looked so bad. I remember her lips were super inflated when I first saw it and now they have deflated but her chin sure coudl use some help. For real. Whatsupwtihplasticsurgeryifyoudon'tcarehowyoulookatall

I caught a bit of an episode last night ( not sure how many I have missed) and it had Jenelle in the car with the family. She was griping that she has no time to go to the gym along with other stuff about how she has no time. Anyway I guess it was Dave's daughter ? in the back along and Jenelle was dropping F bombs like it was a competition. I am not a prude and I definitely curse more than I should, BUT there are children in the car AND THERE ARE CAMERAS> I mean filter just a tad would ya Jenelle? Oy!!!!!! I know, this is trivial in the matter that is her life but really it got me.

Yes just jumped on back here when I saw the ads that it is starting up in September. Way back when it first came on the scene, it seemed that they only showed the first episode and we all thought they decided it was not to be continued. Well live and learn . I guess we will find out if it's good tv or not!!

Yup another one here who thought it odd to take all the kidz to the store to try on bathing suits. In reality I would think she would either order online like 2 different sizes and try them on at home or run out when someone else is around to watch the kiddos. All the excursions out they always have additional help (family) with them. It's understandable for sure but I would think more realistic to take care of stuff as I did (with my one at a time 2 daughters way back when). I remember when grandparents would come by or husband home from work the greatest thrill was to go to the supermarket with an empty cart and shop. Of course I did it still with the kids at times, but I used to joke that if I could get out of the home alone I headed to the supermarket.:) Again, I think it's the show. It's sure more exciting to watch the kidz go to the store than to have them at home all the time. And yes agree about how it was strange that the school song was ONLY them.

I strongly suspect the funds from the newly found paycheck ( Reality star) is what is funding the extras and complicating the reality. I doubt on their original incomes that they would be able to swing the travel and the gifts.

oh my this is amazingly brilliant. thank you!

I only recently saw this show and at least initially I thought they were a bit more "real" than most of these shows. And they seem to have things more under control than the Kate plus 8 crew. And I agree the girls are adorable.

I think one of the worst things Farrah (and Debra ) does is the non stop arguing with her mom. I get that they are going to argue but they go over the top and it's usually not appropriate for a child's ears. I don't think a child should be sheltered 100% from arguments but these are just not child appropriate I think also that in trying to be matter of act and open, Farrah also exposes Sofia too troubling things. I still remember a year or two ago Farrah was working at a gentleman's club and she was wearing a very scanty outfit at home before she left. Sofia was teasing her about her butt showing. Yes that is most inappropriate. (and wearing make up to school and arguing with teh school about that for a 7 year old). I really feel bad for Sofa because she has definitely been involved in stuff that a child her age should not be matter of fact about. I do think Farrah takes reasonable care of her and definitely is loving to her (at least when the camera is on).

Well, I was shocked at the audience reaction to Maci and Mackenzie. I wrote over on the Ryan thread that I think Maci is trying to come across as the righteous one, the superior one. Someone else wrote (and I heartily agreed) that Maci was being a true mean girl on the show with Dr Duh. And please don't get me started on him- his approach seems to only try to NOT offend or confront anyone........like they all need a warm and fuzzy pappa bear and it's him. He really doesn't call BS on any of them. Maybe for about 2 seconds and quickly retreats. I think they all have an "agenda" (which is strongly related to a paycheck and keeping on the relevancy to the show and storyline)-- but I did think that Maci dismissing Mackenzie and mocking her was truly low.
