To be fair, I hated Jesse as well. He was right about some things, but I thought he was a major asshole.

I'm going with Dennis Rodman for the leopard. As for the flamingo...I'm still not sure. They do fit. - his "relationships" (he's supposedly friends with Kim Jong Ung) - he used to be known for his skills but now he's known for scandals (used to be a basketball star but now gets written up for his travels to North Korea) - what he wears (he's known for dying his hair various colors and dressing like a woman at times) Rodman DOES sing. He was on a country music reality show a long time ago.

I wonder if Karine is here for good or not. I can't remember when I saw them in Louisville. It was either before the first stroke or in between the two, but it wasn't that long ago-pretty sure less than 6 weeks.

Since she's a naturalized US citizen, Tiffany's baby will be a US citizen no matter where he/she is born. This is how my children have dual citizenship between England and the US. It's part of the section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). There's paperwork to fill out, but they basically only have to be "registered", they don't have to apply for US citizenship. Tiffany would simply need to provide a US address upon registration.

I wish I were as fat now as I was 20 years ago when I first thought I was overweight...

Here are the little Dramas... My daughter has crazy hair.

Knowing all the behind the scenes stuff going on right now makes it impossible for me to watch Laura's segments anymore. Aladin's done nothing, on the show or off, to make me dislike him but she's done a shit ton of stuff to make me dislike her. And, oh, hell. With everyone else sharing... This is my British husband and me. I am at age 39, which makes me 5 years younger than the Silva twins...

I think Paul is scary and on the edge of being emotionally abusive. Every time he argues he goes straight to the "do you want a divorce" mantra and it's starting to piss ME off. I can't imagine how Karine must feel.

I'm still here.My latest hospital stint gave me a rousing bout of MRSA on my chest. (I know, I know, TMI) so I've not been feeling my best. My kids and I are all caught up now... He may look like a rat,but Florian was the only decent one from that night out. I like him. Like Michael, I don't care if he is just using her for the green card-he's earned it. It DID look like people were piling on Darcey. If I were her, and "my man" didn't stand up for me or, worse, makes things harder, then that's the last I'd see of him. Tom is us in a lot of these situations and while I love that for the snark, I'd not put up with it in real life if I were his "girlfriend." My 12-year-old son (who hasn't really even gotten int girls yet) and I both agreed that Tim is a dolt and that either one of us would've made out with her at this point. I mean, yeah, it's a weird bonding moment with your kid, but I take whatever I can get these days. There's something wrong with Tim. Either he's doing this for the publicity for his gun business or he's got another woman and feels guilty, but at this point he's gone past being weird and he's just being rude. I like espicy Jennifer. She introduced him to her parents and grandparents, is trying to take him around and show him a good time, etc. He's not even treating her well as a friend. It's weird. he U Can we start a petition to bring Michael to the USA and leave Angela there? Because he does NOT deserve this kind of treatment. If she weren't so volatile and crazy I'd actually like her. Some of her comments are insightful and I have to give her some credit for overlooking some of their cultural differences. But damn it, the woman is a nut and I think she's dangerous. Poor Michael. It's not worth it, dude. He could find better on this board, or on Reddit. Even Zied's sister thinks it's weird that he used Rebecca's money to buy her an engagement ring. This dude is just a loafer looking for a free ride.

Or this one...

I'm imagining her dress to look something like this: I find it ironic that, in a lot of her social media posts, she references her "million dollar smile and sparkle" because that number is probably not far off from how much she's spent trying to get those things.

She refers to herself as an "angel" The sad thing is that while many of us snark on her, there are more than enough out there who actually buy into her crap which, of course, makes her believe her own hype even more. Now I have to boycott the Hugo Boutique hotel in Malta...

I think drinking allows her to forgo the fascade of everything being "perfect" for a while. She can never just "be" in a moment. After 10 minutes in Amsterdam it "feels like home." From the inside of a cab ride she can see herself living in London, The little bridges in Holland, the bridge in Albania, the Albanian flea market, etc are all "romantic." She "loves" the "quaint" cafes in Albania (there's nothing wrong with them, but they look like every other cafe over there). As long the man is standing 10 feet in front of her then it looks like a proposal, wedding aisle, etc. She has to look "hot" and "sexy" in everything she wears. There's never anything casual. Everything she eats is amazing and wonderful. She can't just be interested in a guy-he has to be her soulmate and future fiance. All of that shit MUST be exhausting.

Well isn't that precious-pot, meet kettle. Laura may just turn out to be the craziest of them all.

I said this in another thread and then realized it was the wrong show... Tim has passed the point of being a "gentleman" and treating her with respect (both things I would admire). Now it's just kind of weird and I'm starting to feel bad and embarrassed for Jennifer. Stacy was totally pushing Darcey's buttons. If both of them didn't have the maturity of middle schoolers, I'd have felt sorry for Darcey. The whole "MY man" thing had my 8-year-old thinking that the whole thing was a SNL sketch. The only person I REALLY came out liking in that bar scene was Florian. He's a scrawny little chicken man who's probably fleecing Muppet #2,, but there's something about him that I like. Caesar's storyline is boring. Color me over it. Avery was never moving to Syria-that was just something she said to get her some screen time and had the added benefit of pissing off her mother. Omar looks bemused in every scene. Did he know that he was going to be filmed and that Avery was expecting a wedding? Is he really aware of what's going on here? For all we know he's sitting there at their wedding night dinner thinking "I just wanted to meet my pen pal for a weekend getaway to nab some English lessons but for some reason these cameras are following her around and the ET woman keeps asking me about spousal abuse; I'll be glad when this is over and I can get home to my arranged marriage life."

Tim has passed the point of being a "gentleman" and treating her with respect (both things I would admire). Now it's just kind of weird and I'm starting to feel bad and embarrassed for Jennifer.

After watching the smackdown, I think Ladybug is Kelly Osborne. Famous family, limelight, the ham (from the episode where Sharon threw a ham at the neighbors)...And she's at that level where reality tv would be fine. She's a singer, too.

That was one of my first thoughts, too. I think a lot of the suggestions are good, but they're not compatible with the level of stars that would compete on this show. Really famous singers like Taylor Swift would hardly have the time to put in the practice and recording time needed for this show. Even with the show only filming once a week, and with not every performer being on there every week, it's still a commitment that a lot of relevant singers wouldn't be able to keep. Their schedules are filled months in advance. I always think about the pool that most celeb reality shows pull from and try to go from there.

As a huge Rosanne fan, I don't hear her in the ladybug. Maybe one of the other sisters, like Cathy, but not Rosanne. She has a very distinctive voice and it's a much lower register.

You can. Though we often hear that USA doesn't officially recognize "dual citizenship" it doesn't mean that we discount it either. You don't have to renounce your citizenship to your home country to gain American citizenship. My kids are dual citizens of USA and England. When we're doing "American" things, they use that passport, when we go abroad and do things in Europe than they use their British ones. My husband is currently going through the process to become a US citizen. USA won't deny him citizenship because he's also British and we won't make him renounce his British to become American. Same with England-he won't lose that to become American.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that all of this IS fake or just acted out for the television show... So either SumBitch is a lying married asshole who made a promise he couldn't possibly keep (marrying Jenny) and stood back and kept his mouth shut when his mistress sold everything she owned and moved to a foreign country. Jenny is entirely innocent in this scenario and knew nothing of his wife. Or... Jenny knew he was married, his family knew about Jenny and about the television show, and they all just went along with it for the small monetary reward and their 15 minutes of fame. SumBitch doesn't come out smelling like a rose in either one of these. If Scenario #2 is correct then it still doesn't erase the fact that he got on television and said that he would rather be jailed than married to his current wife. Even if his close friends and family were in on this and he was just "acting" it's still a pretty shitty thing to say or do.

Aw.thank you baby. Soooo bootiful and romantic. No worry, mi amor.

I'm fine with a 20-year age difference as long as there is SOME kind of common ground. There doesn't seem to be any in any of these May-December romances, though. Some barely speak the other's language and when they DO talk, it's mostly about how they love each other or how great the other makes them feel.

The REAL issue would be him cheating with his wife. What they were saying, though, is that while cheating isn't illegal in India, his in-laws could make up charges (like him abusing her) to get him arrested. Basically that they could create some kind of false shit to get him thrown in jail, since he can't be arrested for cheating.

I even tend to have a thing for the awkward, quiet, nerdy guys...but I can't figure him out. If she were his first serious relationship or if he were a virgin or if he'd never been with a beautiful woman before then I could understand some of this...but, as you say, this isn't his first time around the block. There's a level of weirdness here that goes far beyond his little pointy head and clear nail polish.
