  1. Watched the whole episode. If you think last week's was bad then hold onto your hat because, in the words of Mother Chantel, things are about to get a lot stupider...

    Juliana gives me the creeps. She comes across as a predator to me. Natalie's better off staying there with Mike. 

    I think Lo left the room because he didn't want to be a part of filming that shit. I think some of it was staged, but I don't think Tammy was in on the planning. 

    IDGAF about Family Libby or Brandon/Julia. 

    Tiffany loves playing martyr. "I was a blessing in this man's life." Girl, sit your ass back down.

    Michael must be masochistic. How else was he able to orgasm while listening to Angela cackle and scream? 

    If I'm rating them on masturbation and ejaculation scenes then I guess I prefer Michael's over Ed's.

    We don't know for sure Mike has paid for everything when it comes to the visa. And you cannot discount the money they've made from the 90 Day franchise. Natalie might not be officially working but she is contributing financially by being on this show. I know people look at finances differently but for me, once you are married money is shared. Mike isn't supporting her- instead they are a single income household and this is a decision they made together when they decided to go down the K1 visa route. 

    Mike doesn't deserve a cookie for financially supporting Natalie. He is doing what he is supposed to do! And he took on the responsibility when he sponsored her for the visa. If he couldn't afford to support her while she can't work, or didn't want to he could have withdrawn the petition. 

    That is not to say Natalie isn't awful. But the imbalance in power between Mike and Natalie in the States really makes me dislike Mike more than Natalie. 

     

    You're right. And Natalie wasn't allowed to work at the time. 

    Being the primary earner does not give someone carte blanch on how they treat their partner. It should not be used to justify poor behavior. I am the primary earner in my household but I don't hold the fact that I provide shelter or food on the table over my husband's head. I've literally never even thought of that. His earnings may not be as much, but there are other ways to contribute to the household and we're on equal footing.

    Bottom line is that Mike did not seem to want to marry Natalie. Whether it's because she's nuttier than squirrel shit or he no longer loved her is irrelevant. It should never have gone this far.

  3. @Pepper Mostly has already written a pretty good post going over this upthread...

    Bottom line for me is that it was clear he never wanted her to come here. He should've broken up with her before she bought the plane ticket. Maybe then they BOTH could've been with people they actually liked. 

    ** note: he was upset because she slept with him and then left 2 days later, but he also slept with her 2 days before the wedding and then called off the wedding the next day. Where TF was she supposed to go? Her country was literally on lockdown and wasn't letting people back in yet.

    What are some things Mike did that makes him such a bad guy?

  4. We'll never totally agree with each other but, personally, it's about what I felt when watching that scene: with Natalie I feel total frustration and irritation, with Mike I feel uncomfortable and queasy. We bring our past experiences with us when we watch this so it CAN be a little subjective, of course, but right or wrong, I'm reminded of my extremely abusive ex so no matter whose "fault" it is, it's just not an enjoyable viewing experience for me.

    Could it be that they are struggling to find couples willing to put their relationships out there? Did Covid kill off the international romance market?? 

    And FFS, why are Sumit and Jenny back yet again? She is living in India. She did it, she made the move.....all that is left is his divorce adn their ceremony. Maybe there is something in the contract that TLC has to film a wedding (which would explain why they were pissed that Molly married Luis in secret)? How the hell can they have a huge Indian wedding and film during covid?? 

     

    I agree, I won't watch----zero interest in this dragging on. 

    The big thing is that she hasn't moved to India, not legally. She has to leave every 6 months and renew the visa. As long as he doesn't marry her then she can't live there. I don't think he WILL marry her. I think he enjoyed the distance romance, and the fantasy, but reality is different. I bet his parents were financially supporting him before Jenny came over. Now he has to actually grow up.

    Natalie had absolutely no right to give away her husband's lovely gifts.

    You don't regift an Ancient Aliens DVD box set, a Confederate flag, and a masturbation video with laugh-out-loud dirty talk. That's just plain wrong.

    Anyone else feeling nostalgic for the the time in which the craziest thing about their relationship was his aliens?

    Preforming?  I will never for the life of me understand why someone goes to the trouble to make and distribute a meme but doesn't bother to run it through spell-check.  I'd rather that people in my life find out I watch shit like 90DF than make a meme with a misspelling of a pretty common word.

    And I'll never understand how people take anonymous forums so seriously and how Family Libby can continue pretending to be high class when they're spreading their butt cheeks on Only Fans and throwing cake at a toddler's birthday party, yet here we are...

    I mean, it's just a bunch of chickens checking out a pussy cat...

    I don't care if Natalie gave away all of Mike's "beautiful Christmas gifts" I will never EVER be team Mike or his awful mother!  God in heaven those 2 vile people are just complete jackasses!  I'm not saying Mike deserved to have all of his gifts he spent money on be given away but.......idk I'm not 100% mad about it either.

    The bigger question is why?  Why did she give them away?  Revenge?  Just didn't like them?  Instead of Mike screeching at her like the G.D. animal that he is why not DISCUSS it with her?  She is obviously just as unhappy as he is. 

    His mom can just go to hell for all I care.  The way she talks to Natalie (hooker or not) the way she treats Natalie is just rude.

     

    Am I the only one who wanted to see an itemized list of these lovely gifts?

    I think the drama around this couple is mostly manufactured. And unlike the Potshards, there is no real undercurrent of animosity.

    Agree. Even when Yara was being "lazy" Gwen was still smiling and laughing. I think that was half fake/half banter. It's like when my husband does something really stupid and my mom tells him, "Really? In a land of Colin Firth and Joseph Fiennes my daughter had to come home with YOU?" And my husband replies, "Yeah, she got tired of picking up men from your family reunions." (I'm a hillbilly.) In reality they love each other and she'd fight tooth and nail for him-and has.

    Jovi is a spoiled brat, bullying Yara in to having sex with him.  I really don't understand why she had to dress up, he was wearing a tee shirt and jeans, they drove 30 minutes to go to an uninspiring roof top to drink a bottle of champagne and watch the sunset, okay they did that, no dinner during or after?  It did seem stupid to be away from Mylah for just that, maybe they could have done a family thing the first night and let Gwen and Mylah have dinner, take a walk then maybe the next night go out.  From the mothers we have seen on this show Yara is actually a really good mother to her baby, Jovi is lucky to have a partner that is totally committed to being a good mother.

    And then the girdle dress, poor thing could hardly sit in that dress, she looked so uncomfortable.

    I have no words for Jovi and his "Me first," attitude, I hope he is just playing with that sort of Danielle, "I want my secks," shit.

    That rooftop with the tiny bar literally looked like the roof of my college dorm when we set up a Tiki bar during finals week.

    The thought of flying to another city, with all the baby apparatus, with my MOTHER IN LAW to bone is just too much to digest.   Look, just drop the baby off, say you are doing some errands and go to a hotel for noisy afternoon sex.  Waaaay less cost and stress.

    Yep to say he has no motherly instincts is bull.  He has fatherly instincts you awful thespians.  

    They live outside of New Orleans! There are some beautiful hotels there. Why did it have to be Miami? Gwen lives 2+ hours away, but I bet she'd come down and spend the night, even if she knew they were just going there for couples time.

    I know it was a sitcom show but it reminds me of Everyone Loves Raymond when Debra and Peggy (the girl scout leader) are fighting over who gets a prime real estate spot to sell cookies.  They are going at it but when their daughters come back from getting ice cream they are all "Oh hi Peggy!  Nice to see you!"  "You too, Debra!  Now listen you take care!"  I wish Tampa Trash could do that.....but it is an empty dream.

     

    100% to the first bolding and 1000% to the next.  I think there IS footage and they are holding onto it.  Fighting/having conflict is not wrong, it is part of life.  How you fight and how you resolve is HUGE.  Tampa Trash, Andrei was not pissed so much about hiring the sitter as he was that his wife LIED to him about it for weeks and YOU ENCOURAGED IT.  I mean, she invited someone, who to you right now, is a STRANGER to care for your CHILD.  Imagine he came home for lunch?  And Libby just sits there, in that ugly purple velvet dress:  "What?  What did I do?"  Same with Mike:  Just stop doubling down defending your horrid mother and her horrid haircut and try to see it her way.  "I can not BELIEVE YOU!"  "We need to talk!" as he gets up and walks away.  Again, I am NOT a fan of Natalie - I think all three are horrid.

    If it were reversed then it would be an entirely different story. What if, after telling him "no", Libby had come home to find a stranger that Andrei had hired watching Ellie? THEN the family would be been all "he doesn't respect you", "you need to leave him", "how DARE him make that decision without you". 

    Last episode but I hated how they were like "she's a mother so she has better instincts." Bullshit. First of all, mothers get arrested every day for abuse and neglect. Second, that's really disrespectful to Andrei who stayed home with Ellie for the first year. 

    THIS is where I side eye their antics. I believe most of it is staged. I think they started out okay, but then had a real fight and saw how much attention it got them. Still, who TF goes on national television and even pretends to act like this? They're awful people either way.

    I can totally understand Yara being protective and wanting to be with her baby as much as possible, especially after her loss. But, the baby was with her grandmother (so very good hands). It truly is okay to have some evenings away or even overnights, even if the baby is still (gasp!) a baby. I hope she doesn't go the way of some of my friends who didn't leave their child/children overnight until they were in highschool. Can't imagine why some of them ended up divorced when their kids left the nest.

    I didn't leave my first son with anyone until he was a year old. I eased up with my second son and left him with someone totally trustworthy and he died while I napped. 

    A lot of first time moms do this. And Yara has extenuating circumstances: she's in a foreign country without any friends or family of her own, Gwen is 2 hours away, she goes without seeing her husband (her main support system) for months at a time, and she went through both her pregnancy and her baby's first year during a global pandemic. Opportunities that expats and new mothers often have available for socializing and supporting one another offline were not options for her. 

    I have some real issues with Yara, but this is something I actually understand. Despite the paranoia and clinginess I had with my first son and later my daughter they are now a regular teen and pre-teen who have good friends, good grades, and appropriate levels of independence. Now, if Yara continues this throughout Myla (Vox)'s toddlerhood then they might really be in for some trouble...

  13. I fricking hate Mike. I think he's a gaslighting creep and his mother is awful. That should not be taken as a defense against Natalie, though. I can say things about Mike while still getting fed up with Natalie. I can dislike them both for different reasons. 

    I actually don't agree that the producers would've shown it by now if Trish had called her a hooker. They're getting FAR more mileage out of it this way. It's also a way of driving viewers to the Tell All. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't think she did, I'm just saying that leaving us to argue and speculate for weeks benefits the show.

    Back to topic:  I don't care for Natalie.  She is condescending, tried to change every fundamental thing about Mike, called him low IQ and is dramatic and childish.  But seeing her, on that couch, while Mike gets up, walks around, yelling at her, getting his mom on the phone, then trying to get the crew on his side was SO uncomfortable.  I will sometimes watch a second time to pick up things (plus avoid finishing cleaning out my office room) but with this one I can't.  I wanted to scoop her through the screen and rescue her.

    Agree with all of this.

    There's a picture of me and my ex that I can't look at. My mouth is smiling, but my eyes have that same embarassed/panicky/sad/defeated look in them. 

  15. *eyeroll* Family Brandon and Brandon crying and carrying on like he's an 18yo going off to college for the first time and not the 30yo he is.

    *snort* Julia wanting to lock the door. 

    Libby got in the best line of the episode: You don't scream like that with cake! 

    It might just replace the timeless "don't swindle me just because I like cake".

  16. Rewatched Yara and Jovi in Miami...My husband came in and goes, "What the fuck is his problem? The short dress, alcohol, and sex is for HIM. If he really wanted to do something to make his wife relax then make her a bubble bath and let her sleep for 2 days straight." 

    He should've sat down and watched 2 seasons of "Unexpected" before shirking the condom. Yara will never be the woman he dated again, but he's still the same man.

    I have a legit question and I am not judging:  Do all people drink this much, daily?  Wine during the moving, champagne if not more at a two year old's party?

    Not in my experience but YVMV. Maybe in My early 20s. My mother-in-law was a big wine drinker and seemed to always have a glass in her hand. My father-in-law is a functioning alcoholic, though, so...

    I can't watch Mike and Natalie. Natalie's crazy, but Mike is mean.
