She lost me when she pretended that the accent was British.

Now we don't know that! There might be some coaching going on during the fucking...(I just doubt it comes from him.)

I'm glad the camera crew got to see the Great Barrier Reef, at least.

For just a second even his eyes looked less... weird.

I know too much behind the scenes stuff for David to take it very seriously.

David: it's just like at the train station... Yeah, and the other three times she stood you up...

This HAS to be fake. I refuse to believe anyone is this dumb.

I'd rather take my chances with the 'rona.

Ed did a live video the other day where he stated that he was the most authentic cast member to have ever been on the show and that his shower scene was the best scene ever to have appeared on TLC. He also claimed that he was the biggest star of the franchise. Tim did a good job of taking him down. I'll try to find an article that sums it up. Unfortunately Ed took the video down, but this article talks about it a little (though it seems to be on Ed's side). https://soapdirt.com/90-day-fiance-baby-girl-lisa-unhinged-authentic-big-ed-enrages-her/ https://screenrant.com/90-day-fiance-big-ed-tim-lisa-david-calling-out-creepy/ I can't find one about the shower scene, but it's out there, I'm sure.

Someone needs to knock Bad Egg down a notch or two. His ego has been out of control this week. From his comments about being the most authentic person to have ever been on the show to his claim that his shower scene is the best thing ever shown on TLC, homeboy's crazy. He is totally buying Insta followers, too. Two days after Tim called him out for not even having 100,000 followers, Ed jumped up 50,000. That's not organic.

Which, to be fair, is probably what he did with Lisa's name to start with. It's almost never a good idea to go on a reality show for fame. Only the crazy ones get all the attention, and if you're not literally crazy then post-production will help you out. It these people are so full of themselves that they go into filming assuming the camera will show how awesome they are.

Those fuckers are out of control now. I remember when Rio's seafood buffet was the best one in town and cost an astronomical $25. Now that's basically the salad bar at Harrah's.

I don't think they sign up for the TLC checks. The checks are VERY little and they're only applicable for the episodes the people are in. The total amount is barely enough to cover a new car. IMO they sign up for all the other "perks"-free travel, social media clout, possibility of becoming "brand ambassadors" on Instagram, Cameos, paid public appearances, podcast interviews, free marketing for their existing business, etc. The payment for the show may not be much but if they play their cards right then they can make themselves a social media career outside of the episodes. That's why many of these people are trying to be "characters" and are all over the internet while their episodes are airing-they're trying to parlay their popularity-good or bad-into something that will last.

I could've done without it, too. On an earlier thread someone wondered if maybe David wore large shirts because he used to be heavy and had lost a lot of weight. That made sense to me. But then we saw him shirtless *shudder*...No flabby loose skin or anything. Just your regular, pasty older man pouch.

Ed is a creep because he tries to package himself as a " nice guy" when, in fact, he's a manipulative selfish asshole.

Sounds like stalking to me. She's provided him with zero ways of contacting her outside of the pay-per-minute website. Despite being in a "relationship" with her for "7" years he has no phone numbers, no email...they're not even Facebook friends. The address he has for "her" came from a cruise ticket, not from an invitation from her for him to visit. She's proven, repeatedly, that she has no intentions of meeting him. Rather than cutting his losses, he travels many hours to her town, without an invitation, and rather than telling her or approaching her he instead starts approaching random businesses (that candy shop WAS random) and potentially invading her privacy by flashing her pictures around. She's been paid for every single interaction she's had with him.

He has not sent her $100,000. He sent a website $100,000 so that he could send her messages. Paying a site $1.99 a minute to instant message someone is not the same as mailing or PayPaling someone thousands of dollars for their personal use. The distinction is important. This is not his first trip to Ukraine to meet her. This is his fourth, and she has failed to show up every single time. He has absolutely NO proof that this woman exists outside of a picture, much less that she wants a relationship.

We live too far out for Amazon Fresh and the nearest Walmart or Kroger is an hour away. Our county only has one grocery store, a Save a Lot. Meal planning has been challenging lately. Luckily our garden did well last year so we had a lot of stuff canned and frozen, and I barter my books with a farm down the road for beef and eggs. I am seriously looking forward to good ice cream and cheese, though. I miss that the most. Save a Lot store brand is not the same. I can't believe that David wouldn't mention Lana standing him up. He didn't want to spook her. Dude...

He did when he was chatting with her in his hotel room. That's how she knew to meet for lunch.

I don't think so either. She's clearly not interested in an actual relationship-just a transactional one-and that's IF "Lana" is a "she" at all. The Ukraine might be behind in some things but they're not living in a different century. And my eastern European friends on FB find homeboy to be just as creepy as we do.

I feel ya. It's not exactly the same, but for my son and I it's a start... When we do have chocolate in the house we can get a similar substance by melting chocolate chips, a dash of milk, and a few drops of olive oil (or butter) in a double boiler (or, in our case, a metal bowl atop a pot of boiling water). In a separate pot, make some regular hot cocoa with milk. When your double boiler has melted your chocolate chips, slowly pour it into the cocoa and stir. Next, add a tablespoon of corn starch to a few drops of cold milk and stir until dissolved. Pour that into the cocoa mix. It should eventually start thickening. You just tweak it as needed. If you want it thicker, add more cornstarch (just dissolve it in cold water or milk first). Sometimes we add peanut butter, a smidge of cayenne pepper, a little Nutella, etc... Whatever we have lying about. I was a travel writer based in eastern Europe for 15 years and I miss it. I'm super jealous of some of these folks who seem to take their situation for granted. The food that Lisa had at Mommy Usman's and with Brother No? I wanted. All the mixed grills in Ukraine... Rose's family's spread...I feel like they're not taking full advantage of their situation (just taking advantage of the foreigners).

In some of the southeastern European countries like Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia, etc they have cafes where you can find pages of hot chocolate on the menus. Hazelnut, banana, cherry, dark, white, turtle... thick enough to eat with a spoon.

At first I thought that was really her talking and then I realized that she was lipsynching. It's funny in that she's timed herself to match up almost perfectly, but yeah... always a little uncomfortable to see someone imitating another race. I think a lot of these folks should have to take social media etiquette classes before their shows air. What might seem funny in your own home between you and your family or your close friends may be downright offensive or inappropriate when blasted to the masses.

In a battle of the grannies, I find Jenny marginally more palatable than Belly Ghoul Visa. But that bar is already set pretty low.

A chick continuously blows him off and stands him up, only to find that he's driven several hours to find her at her apartment? Regardless of whether or not it would've been fine with Lana, it's creepy to ME. (And I thought that's what we were talking about-our own opinions and assessment of the narrative.)
