I wonder if she ever got to the US. I have no idea of the time line. I have been wanting the Snowdens off the show ever since we first met them. I have already forgotten all the others except the Winders who need to go find a real fundy Mormon instead of pretending to import a Protestant from NC.
A couple of women ran into Ick and Danni at a bar last weekend and took pictures. No Bert. That doesn't mean she's not there, but at this point I think someone local would've spotted her at this point.
Are we sure that Bert wants a baby or knows that she's meant to be having one? All we've heard her say is "hot" and "ooh la la."

Here's an article saying dimitri seems to be homeless and Ashley and the kids are not with him. I feel bad for the kids in this situation. They definitely fare worse here, As for dimitri, this is what happens when scammers can't scam anymore.
The other article linked in the first one talks about how he tried to scam someone out of $100K for a custom built truck and that he told that couple they could fake being polygamous to get on the show.
John Yates interviewed that guy in a 2-hour podcast and it was really interesting. (And I can't stand Yates.) It's interview #6.

The scene between Fred and June is probably my favorite one from the past 2 seasons. I saw it coming, but it was still interesting to watch. I was extremely uncomfortable.
Fuck Serena Joy getting her own house. Little Miss Mamadrama said, "Oh, we have a GREAT house for you. You'll love it! Now the bed's a little hard, there are bars on the windows, and you'll only be allowed outside for an hour a day but you can read WHATEVER you want!"
My kid's a smartass.

I assume private schools don’t have the same rules. My kids are in private school and 50% of the class was zooming (google-class-rooming) in from other states, one kid was in the Virgin Islands. There are some families with summer homes in Florida, Michigan, etc and the kids were there. This was when lockdown first happened end of last school year, my kids were not remote this last school year.
My son was in Wisconsin at a friend’s lake house for a few weeks, zoomed-in and no one said anything. Is this only a public school rule?Poor Daniel, he just doesn’t want to be in S Africa. Poor guy wants to be home with his friends and grandma. It’s beyond time for Tiffany to give up the bullshit, and cut Ronald loose.
Kalani hates Asuelu.. why fake laugh at his stupid jokes? Why pretend you want to bang him? She is faking all of this interest in him, but why?? The paycheck?
Yes, as I said in my comment, this is a public school issue. That's why I also said that they could get around it by registering with an independent school. Private schools have far more flexibility.

Well, now we know why Tom's been "dating" the (still married) mannequin...he was using her to remain on 90 Days. Anyone else watch him on 90 Day Diaries last night? Good Lord.

This is apropos Natalie -- I would guess you can skirt green card rules when making YouTube vids? I don't really know, but income would come through ads, wouldn't it? Is that considered work?
Yes, it's considered work. Natalie was able to skirt this by only recently allowing ads, which means she probably just got her work permit (or green card). When she was uploading videos last fall they didn't have ads.
The way that some of these people have been able to get around Cameo stuff is by doing the videos together and officially earning the money under the American's name.

It won't work that way. When a student moves to another country, even for a short three month visit, we can't teach them in India, S. Africa, France or wherever as we are not licensed in that state. We had quite a few student go to India for months long vacations, a few to Somalia and were told, by the state, that we were not allowed to teach them. So if I were to work at a DL school that taught kids in California, I would need to be licensed in California.
6 hours ago, Frozendiva said:Forgot about Tiffany and Ronald. He expects her to come visit him for 3 months? Muh boy doesn’t get a 3 month Christmas school holiday. Granted, Covid has made for online options. Three tickets to South Africa are not cheap, as is having sufficient spending money. Flights are not inexpensive around the holiday season. Take the little girl but leave Daniel at home.
@Mrs. Hanson is right. If he's in the public school system then he has to remain in that state as long as he is using that school system's online options. I had to get surgery in another state last year and we took the kids with us for about 2 weeks. During that time they couldn't work online if it was new material, they could only finish up things they'd already started. They also couldn't attend online meetings. Because of the extenuating circumstances the school did allow them to catch up when we returned, but we had to jump through a lot of hoops just for 2 weeks.
What Tiff *could* do is enroll him in an independent online school system that's not tied to Maryland. Or she could homeschool him, which is what we're doing when the kids and I go to Eastern Europe for 5 months next spring.
If she does take the kids to South Africa then it's not her footing the bill for the airline tickets, it's Sharp-the same company that bankrolled all of Angela's sudden trips to see her sexy Nigerian. They get much more explosive material if the couples are together and a $10,000 trip on a reality show is still less than having to pay well-known people in a scripted drama.
It's like going to an expensive buffet and filling up on prime rib and lobster; the cast doesn't get paid much, but if they're smart they do as much as they can on Sharp's dime.

I don’t understand why Natalie didn’t just confront Trish with “you disrespected me when you called me a hooker!” and instead she sat there refusing to talk. That makes me suspicious that Trish said it in the first place since we didn’t see it on camera and can only take Natalie’s word for what happened.
That's actually pissing me off.
I believe Trish said *something*. Whether that was, "You're talking like a hooker, "You're acting like a hooker," or "Can you get the rice cooker" is beyond me.

Interesting. Liquor stores everywhere here, weed stores, adult stores, etc.
They're allowed in most states here, but there is no blanket permission for all of them when it comes to alcohol and adult stores. States control these things here and, within the state, counties (and even individual towns) decide on what they will or won't allow. The county beside me allows alcohol sales in restaurants but doesn't allow liquor stores. One on the other side allows sex shops but they can't be within 5 miles of a church or school. These things can be particularly strict in states, or in parts of states, that are very religious.

Why was the adult store hidden? Some secret stuff?Some mainstream stores are now selling some toys and personal massage devices. The staff doesn’t judge as they have probably seen it all. I do prefer the online ordering even though it is nice to touch things.
Because in some jurisdictions they're literally illegal. And in others there are laws about what can be sold, where the items are located within the store, and what the signage looks like.
Adult bookstores or sex shops are not allowed in my county. Neither is alcohol of any kind. We're dry.

Strongly considering getting Discovery+ because I'm under the misguided impression that I need to see more of these idiots who I've already pretty much hate-watched for the entirety of their airtime. Can someone come and knock me upside the head? Please?
Sorry, can't do it. I'm already gone.
But you CAN watch the entire HEA episodes 3 days before anyone else!

I watched the whole episode. Not sure what was on the First Look so I'll be vague-ish.
Brandon stood up to his parents and STILL looked like a dumbass. I was cheering Ron on. "You've never even paid a water bill!"
Mother Mike can suck an egg. You know that #Hookergate was caught on camera, though. TLC better show it on the Tell Nothing.
Angela? Ugh. I AM starting to wonder if Mykul has a sidepiece, though.
Kalani was being a bitch about the location. Aseulu tried. He probably didn't know about her past experiences with cabins. Dude barely seems to understand her when she talks. Him talking to the receptionist started out cringey but then had me laughing.
I was with my boyfriend's sister the first time I went to a sex shop. It was some huge place in Orlando. It was weird because although she was an adult at the time, I'd known her since she was a toddler.
While I do believe Family Libby hates each other, I think their antics are scripted by them. I went from not liking Andrei at all to hoping he DOES take all their jobs.
Brandon and Julia were brats. Eat some fucking cake and shut up. You can yell at Mommy and Daddy later.
2 hours ago, Kid said:Ok! Who thinks Angela is only smoking the number of cigarettes she tells the doctor she is smoking?? *crickets* *crickets* *crickets*
I smoked. 1000 is not enough and 1 is too many.
I do wish the doctors would help her. Telling an addict just to stop their addictive behavior isn't helpful. My husband smoked since he was 14. He tried to quit many times over the years and he just couldn't do it on his own. He needed medical intervention.

Honestly, some of his line delivery tickles the shit out of me. Even when he's being awful he manages to do it in a way that's deceivingly lighthearted.

Yeah, so much for the idea that being a Handmaid is a respected, revered vocation. She knows exactly what's what.

Well then someone needs to teach that girl about maximizing her luggage space. Why on earth would you pack a party dress and dress shoes to run away from home? (I say this as if there's supposed to be a logical reason instead of the wardrobe and props people just reusing whatever was already on the set.)
It still begs to wonder if he bought her other clothes, though. Never leaving the house or not, it's unlikely she packed enough clothes to cycle through for a period of four months, although I guess it's not implausible to wear the same four or five outfits on repeat for months on end. And then there's the matter of toiletries. It's a pretty small town and for some reason everyone knows each other. It would have stood out if this supposedly single man was repeatedly buying feminine hygiene products.
She was upset and literally just grabbing random things and shoving them into her bag. The red dress was hanging right above her head. In different parts of the episode you can also see her wearing his clothes, most notably the WS sweatshirt.
The toiletries thing doesn't seem like a big deal to me. The items were in bulk form. Those stores exist so that you can purchase large quantities of crap. He could've gone to a Sam's Club or an equivalent in a bigger city: Dallas, Houston, Ft. Worth, etc. If anyone said anything to him at all he could've said he was getting them for his church, a homeless shelter he volunteered for, a domestic violence center...I worked in a bulk store in 1996. We had women and men coming in and buying strange items every day. There was one man who purchased 2 pallets of tampons. Each pallet contained 150 boxes. He volunteered that his church was putting together feminine care packages for several non profit, low-income teen centers across the state. Many of the girls couldn't afford basic hygiene products.
As for clothing, if he's going to 5*7*9 in his local mall once a week for size 2 dresses then, yes, some might raise an eyebrow. In another town, though? He's 36. They could be for his daughter, wife, sister, girlfriend, girlfriends daughter...Internet shopping wasn't really a thing then, but catalogue shopping was. As an older teen I used to order from Delia's once a month.
A lot of these things look bad to us because we know the context. In real life, though, people buy and do weird shit every day and it's totally innocuous. The weird seeming people aren't always the ones hiding shit. For instance, when Greg's car broke down which man looked like the weirdo? The sick man who barely knew the guy on knocking on his door and politely explained why he couldn't come in or the pushy dude who invaded his personal space and privacy?
That's what makes a story like this scary-bad things go on often without any obvious signs.

It was interesting to me how Mrs. Keyes was forcing Janine to eat earlier in the season and now it's Janine trying to get her to eat.
I don't think Lawrence is on either side. His loyalty is to his own state of mind. Lawrence does whatever he finds amusing and entertaining. Sometimes that's helping June, sometimes it's helping Gilead. He's very smart and knows when to press forward and when to draw back.
Unlike Fred who truly does seem to be a dumbass. Every once in awhile SJ looks at him like, OMG I can't believe I used to find this guy stimulating.

I actually thought something similar! When Kate was wearing that pretty Christmas dress and makeup, I thought, "did he buy that for her? And if so, how did he explain to the clerk in the small town that he's buying clothes for a female?"
But the town can't be that small because the boyfriend didn't know nerdy Jeanette (or acted like he didn't know) but in a small town, you know everyone, even if you aren't in the same circles. So idk.
Kate brought the red dress and shoes with her. You can see the red dress hanging in her closet when she's packing to run away. It also showed her pulling it down and stuffing it into her bag. The shoes are shown on her mom's feet at the garden party. At the time I wondered why they zoomed in on them.

They're definitely trying to get their own show. Imo most of what we see in their scenes is exaggerated. They took Family Chantel 101.

A while back I referred to these two phonies as being witting participants in a folie a deux who troll the internet for innocent women who are searching for “answers” from the universe a la Oprah’s The Secret nonsense. The fact of the matter is that Dmitri is a horn dog who is one step up from human trafficking and Ashley is his “dealer” who enables him and helps supply him with his drug. She believes she is “evolved” yet she doesn’t give a shit about how this affects her children.
Yes! I think that's why they searched abroad this time. Easier to isolate.
With Vanessa I though all 3 of them concocted the "love story" for airtime. I didn't actually care because I really liked Vanessa and had a bit of a girl crush on her. However, considering how things have unfolded I no longer think it's being totally faked. Dimitri and Ashley are faking something but the women they're bringing in don't seem to be in on it. I felt sorry for Chrissy in this episode. They brought her over, and were apparently able to take being fairly decent people, then she became trapped with these heifers during a pandemic without any friends or family nearby and no way to get home. Ouch.
The counterargument is that she and Tayler should be known better if they'd watched the first 2 seasons. Who knows what lies A & D fed them, though. I'm pretty good friends with a localish couple who appeared on a season of 90DF and their TV personalities and IRL personalities are totally different. They didn't get a terrible edit, but it wasn't a good one either. The Snowdens also seem like they'd be great at lovebombing. And they might have become involved before S2 finished airing.
Regardless, between them and Tricky Icky this epi was a little painful.

If Libby REALLY wanted to slap back at her family for how they treat Andrei then she should just quit the show. Without L & A the rest of them lose their airtime and, with that, the free publicity for their
