Plus, Kenny can't speak Spanish, Brandon's family has a farm, Stephanie has a cat, Mike believes in aliens, Natalie wants her ring back, & Dinyell was frauded with an evudense binder to prove it.

Mike's passive aggressive bullshit and him leading Natalie on if he really does hate her makes him as crazy as her.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around adultery apparently being fine, but premarital sex isn't. @Pepper Mostly was on target with the Susan Powell reference. How awful that all the people who knew what happened are dead. Also reminds me of the cheesy thriller HUSH (the 1990s Gwenyth Paltrow film, not the amazing Mike Flanagan one). Crazy horse farm owner invites son and new bride to live on the farm and then becomes nutty AF as she proceeds to treat her new dil like a breeding mare.

I don't fault Yara for telling Non I don't fault Yara telling NonJovi in front of the henna artist. I used to make extra cash doing mendhi at festivals and not only does that come with the territory but it was the best part of the job! You often become unofficial therapist, especially since some sessions run an hour and neither one of you can move. Since she was already mic'ed chances are she knew something was coming. It may have even been a reenactment. At least this was (theoretically) good news. I once had a client get served divorce papers in the middle of a navigational rose. Some people feel more comfortable around an impartial 3rd party. I informed my husband of our second pregnancy right after I ordered at the Starbucks drive through. Thought they'd turned the mic off. They hadn't. We got free strawberry frappes. When you're already baring your soul and secrets in front of a camera crew on international TV it's not that big of a jump. I feel confident that the multiple OTC tests were for the sake of the show. It's not like these two have a wildly interesting storyline. Even so, NOT that uncommon to buy multiples or to buy a package that comes with 2 or more. I'm sure she'll make a clinic appointment but it could take days to get in. 48, 72, 96 hours in between is a helluva long time to sit around and wait for bloodwork that's going to determine the rest of your life. Home pregnancy tests are instant. I WISH I could return to those moments-buying several tests, setting the timer, drinking a lot of water (then worrying my pee was too diluted), equal parts excited and terrified when the results popped up, taking 2 more "just to be sure"... Those were good days, and even though you couldn't pay me to return to the infant stage of my kids it's still a little sad knowing that those moments will never happen again. I hope Yara lets his family help. Being pregnant in a foreign country where you don't know anyone is hard. Just like Family Brandon. If they thought this would help their dwarf goats/dog mill business then...then...yikes!

With Yara and Jovi not married yet, she likely doesn't have health insurance. Our medical system is vastly different from Eastern Europe's and it can be intimidating for a foreigner to traverse on their own. I got sick in Bosnia and my 2-day hospital stay, doctor's visit, and CT scan cost less than a single CT scan here in the states.

How about a Roku? We have one. The cheapest is $30 and you just plug it into your tv. It's got all the apps on it-Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc. We have an older tv, too.

My youngest is 9 and I can't believe how much things have changed since she was born. It's crazy.

Re: pictures of us. Can't remember if I shared or not. Here I am with the littlest and this is me with MY 90 day fiance on the day we went to the courthouse and made it official.

You can get them for $1 now and some come 2 to a box. It helps to buy several, especially if you're early, because the hormones build every day and just because you tested negative one day doesn't mean you will the next. Even blood tests can be iffy if you're testing too soon. My first bloodwork was negative for the hg with my first. I had to wait 4 days and give more blood to see if the hormone had doubled. The OTC are easy to use now with little to no human error. Pee on a stick and 90 seconds later it can literally say "pregnant" or "not pregnant."

That's true and I hadn't thought about that. I was sexually assaulted by a friend around 10 years ago and it wasn't until recently that I even realized that it was an actual assault. It made me uncomfortable at the time, but we'd been friends for 20 years so I'd tried to pass it off as a drunken mistake on his part. I didn't want to cause a scene at the time so I'd carried on like nothing had happened. He didn't restrain me, and I wasn't "afraid" so it didn't "feel" like a stereotypical rape at the time. It wasn't until he violated me for a 2nd time last spring, when I learned that he'd been telling friends that I had cheated on my husband with him, that I really started processing what had happened between us. I may not have screamed, and I may have carried on as though nothing had happened, but but he DID force things on me and in me while I firmly told him "no." I hate to judge someone else's experience, but the part about making sure the woman had TLC to watch her was...funny? Ryan seems sleazy regardless.

Andrew's a pig. "Amira's had a traumatic time..So let me regale her with stories of how wonderful it is here." I totally encourage her trip to Serbia...Rent a room at an inn overlooking the Adriatic in Montenegro, find herself a hot local fling, and block Andrew's number.

Yara's been in the country for 6 weeks. They may have only been together for 2 weeks before he left, but it only takes one time of unprotected sex to get pregnant. She's clearly not very far along. If they had unprotected sex then I'm not real sure why he was surprised. It's not like it's a cumulative effect. So far neither one of them have given any indication that fidelity has been a problem. The only way I would ever consent to a paternity test is if insurance depended upon it. If I'm in a committed relationship, a relationship that we've mutually decided to make "forever", then there has to be some level of trust there. I'm tired of this whole fucking "we only had sex once so it must not be mine" trope.

He seems like the type who thinks it will be fine as long as she's on top or they're in water. Stephanie talks to Ryan in the same tone that I speak to my 13yo in when he's lied about doing his homework or cleaning the litterbox.

I cut the cable cord 3 years ago. For the past 2 years I've paid $20 a month for Philo. It gives me TLC, HGTV, ID, Discovery Health, Animal Planet, and several other channels that I watch. I know I'm in the minority but I love Discovery+. I'm not paying $5 a month "just to watch reruns." Many of my favorite shows have first run episodes on there. Starting in Feb ALL of my favorites will. I've been able to cancel Philo which saves me $15 a month. Better, for me, is that I now have access to hundreds of episodes from shows that were not available on any other service provider: Untold Stories of the ER, Gone, Disappeared (Hulu has some but not all), Hear No Evil, People Investigates, Diagnose Me, Medical Mystery, etc. I'm generally not in favor of all these new streaming services, but at least you can "pause" these and take breaks from them. Whenever a show comes out on HBO I pause my service, wait until all the episodes have come out, and then reactivate and binge. I'm still paying less than cable. When I had cable I was paying $150 per month and basically only watched 5 channels. Now my bill is $75 and I utilize all the apps regularly. Family Brandon is scary. Mother Brandon is crazy but Father is awful. I'd sleep with my door locked. Yuck. And Brandon needs his ass kicked for throwing Julia under the bus. Mother Mike has become my favorite side character. And her bangs are rocking. Yara is completely wasted on NonJovi.

Brandon isn't nearly as cute and endearing as he thinks he is.

I totally missed the runaway turd bursting free from its confines and landing on the floor when I watched this the first time.

They must be trolling her with this episode title, right? Because the only thing that she got "back" was more validation from her Greek chorus of enablers.

I feel the same about Darlene. We were on Welfare (Food Stamps and Medicaid) when I first buckled down and started taking my fiction writing seriously. It was the Recession and shit was bad. We had jobs, my husband even taught at a state university, but we were still earning below the federal poverty line. Let me tell you, nothing will motivate you like being poor. Few things feel worse than rolling up to the cashier and having the people in line around you surveying your buggy because they feel entitled to judge your contents. I worked my ass off, writing every chance I got. My oldest son was 5, my youngest son had just died in his sleep, and my daughter was an infant but I still wrote and read every chance I got: on the toilet, in the shower, in my head while cooking or cleaning... It took 5 years but I finally got a publisher interested and we finally reached a point where my books were funding our lifestyle (ie, paying all our bills). So I also find it depressing that Darlene seems to have given up. I've been there and I want more for her. She missed a great opportunity during the pandemic. Regardless of my feelings towards it, I have friends killing it in indie publishing right now and all she needs for that is a laptop. Advancing at Wellman's is great for the short term, but I would love to see her trying to fulfill her passions. I don't think she will, though, and sadly that's not uncommon. If Ben's podcast somehow breaks from the pack and becomes a runaway success then great. I want that for DARLENE, though. I want to see her break the cycle and not, in defeat, put her hopes on Harris to do it.

The website is Jomashop. It's what they call a gray market dealer. The watch is probably legit and if you bought it straight from the designer it would cost $3,000. It would also come with a box, warranty, and certificate of authenticity. From a gray market you're getting the same object minus all those things needed to increase its resale value.

I broke down and got Discovery+, but only because I don't have cable. I watch a ton of TLC, Discovery, HGTV, ID, etc. I was paying $20 a month for Philo, but Discovery+ let me cancel that and now my bill is less. I'm able to access most of my shows (90DF, MBFFL, M600PL, Pimple Popper, etc) but I'm also enjoying having access to a lot of the older crime shows. It works for me but if you already have a service that gives you want you want then it's probably not worth it.

Jeff and Candy are amazing.

Yup. Some of these bitches earn more in a day than I do in a year. As for Blac Chyna...isnt she a former stripper who got knocked up by a low-level Kardashian?

He legit dated Amber for a while.

Brittany and Marcelino have apparently conned a trip to Alasker out of WE, though, so who's the real sucker here?

Brittany, YOU are taking time away from your kids by spending all night chasing your mom around the annals of Vegas.
