I've now decided that Dave is a horrible person who treats women as objects that he can own and collect. David on the Tell All was enlightening. He may now be one of my least favorite cast members. Ever.

I only watched Day 2. She's meant to be on Day 1.

You can download directly from YouTube,but others had luck with these (I used the first one) Download here https://ufile.io/i28j6ekk another source https://up.labstack.com/MHc9oiYy

Ash's eyes looked a lot better on the Tell All. I still think there was some drug use going on.

Nobody mentioned the fake address. But Ed and Dave talk a lot about everything else. Shaun gets pushy, too. First time I have liked her. Everyone still says it's a scam: Lana won't take her profile down even though they're "engaged", she won't communicate offsite, she's met other men and still talk to them, and she gives him crazy excuses (which he buys) like her nails are too long for texting, it's against the law for her to communicate with him offline 😉 Usman is amazing, though. He thinks Dave is crazy, too. He's happy, well spoken, quiet...at one point he just starts singing.

Just realized that the wall o text was mostly about Lisa and Usman so I"m moving it. I thought I'd shared the entire show write up, but it was just one part. Oops!

You don't have to. As long as the link is working you should be fine. I downloaded it because the video kept getting shut down. Also, the juicy bits don't start until an hour in. The David/Ed starts at around hour 3.

I downloaded the file, which is 1.5gb. They keep showing up on YouTube but then quickly removed. YouTube link:

Tell All Tea: Stephanie broke up with Erika the day after Erika came out to her parents. Steph says she still wants to be friends, but Erika's like "uh, no." She says she was rude in front of her friends and she basically has no desire for friendship.

Tell All stuff: I hate Tom more than a yeast infection, but when Dave is spewing his nonsense during his segment Tom actually made some sense. Also... Darcey gave Tom money, around $2000.

Also, despite the claim that Lana's nails are too long to use an iPhone, during her segment you can clearly see her using an iPhone-with short nails. David says that she doesn't have any friends and stays in her apartment all day. When everyone is asking him why Lana can't connect with him on Instagram, FB, etc he says those are new platforms and she probably wouldn't know how to use them. The argument with Ed is really something. Dave let's the fucks fly high. It goes on and on and on...Shaun laughs.

Wedgies aren't flattering on anyone.

Maybe "relationship coaching" isn't his real career. Maybe it's like Anna's job (nursing, not beekeeping) or Ed's (architecture or something, not photography). Some of the cast ganged up on Avery and supported Ash during the Tell All.

Soo much of it is just production stuff. Shaun got some actual zingers in, though. She called several people by the wrong name (she called Steph "Erika" twice) and she didn't handle with kid gloves. All that will be edited out, of course. David is asked how he feels about spending all that money on Lana and when he says 'Great", Ed *coughs*bullshit*coughs*

I think the McDonald's meal was paid for by production. We always get a scene of them ordering fast food and I think that's show driven and funded. I'm sure they eat there a lot anyway, but that particular scene...

Yep. And on camera he proposes and she says "yes", but at the Tell All (she's not included in it) he says that they've broken up but are still engaged. Yes, that's as confusing as it sounds. So it seems like the meeting may very well have been a setup by TLC and she performed only as needed. Maybe the company asked her to do it to make them look good. They didn't want bad publicity revealing them as the scam site they are. (BTW, David says it's NOT a scam-that he pays the website to stay protected from scams. He tells this to Ed and makes fun of him-which I'd usually be all for, but, David.)

I don't particularly like envisioning Geoffrey pooping at all, but we camp a lot so none of that bothered me. Wiping with toilet paper and burying it isn't that much different than wiping with toilet paper and flushing it down the commode. The sauna, swimming, and steam room were at the same complex. Varya wasn't there to visit her mother-she was there to film a TV show. This wasn't a leisurely visit with loved ones-this was just the standard reality TV "meeting the parents" trope. It was probably Sharp's idea to film with Igor, too. Once they found out Geoffrey had a contact in Russia they may have thought it an interesting idea to let Varya meet someone who knew him, since he'd been meeting people who knew her. And camping is at least more interesting than the Teen Mom folks who film 75% of their episodes sitting at a restaurant or on their couch.

And we don't know, for sure, how long they were actually there. You can't trust show time. These are the people who condense a 12-hour Tell All into a 2-hour Show Nothing.

Lana didn't clarify, but I'm assuming that she meant gifts like the roses. However, she DID say that she got money from him. Of course, that could've been sent through Paypal or something. I think David's been investing a lot more than he let on.

I got the feeling that he'd already done that for her. His official answer for her not being able to use it was because her nails were too long. And she supposedly couldn't use her laptop because she'd borrowed it from the company. And then she was like "I like receiving money and gifts from David." Ha.

Not really. There are many photo editing programs that can be downloaded for free. I use Paint.net which is almost identical to Adobe. There are also some good web-based ones (like Pixlr). Or someone like her sister could've taken the photos and then someone else edited them for her. Her selfies are pretty nice looking, too, so she clearly knows how to use filters. All she really needed was a backdrop (achieved by a painted wall or piece of fabric), and someone with a good phone. My husband's a podcaster and does a lot of PR work for other YouTubers and podcasters. He ordered an entire lighting set with a green screen and frame from Amazon for $35. My ring light cost $10. With the way many of these phones work these days, along with the hundreds of photo editing apps, I've seen teenagers with zero training take selfies that look like professional headshots.

Yeah, I follow her on her real one. I was suspicious because that post wasn't on her feed. Okay, so I watched 10 hours of the Tell All. Here are some highlights: - Ed and David get into an argument - While Usman is trying to talk, Ed keeps interrupting him to holler at people about whether or not he can be seen/heard - Ed and Rose broke up while he was down there filming - Stephanie actually gets in a very good dig at him. "I'm just admiring that David isn't angry he spent $100,000 dollars when Ed is complaining he spent $2." It's the only time she's likable. - IMO he came across as an even bigger asshole than he did on the show.

Erika apparently recorded the entire Tell All via her computer and then leaked it to someone. I downloaded it and watched most of it. It's interesting...It's also10 hours long and 1.5 GB. One of the highlights is that David says he sent Lana an iPhone but that she couldn't use it because her nails are too long...She's too shy to talk or meet, and can't contact him vi anything but the website, yet she works as a travel agent from home. So, uh, yeah.

Here's the video of them meeting:

I think either: 1. The entire thing is fake and David/Lana are actors. Or... 2. TLC paid the woman in the photo to appear onscreen (like Ricky's Melissa) Or 3. David and Lana played everyone and were in on this together.
