Uncle JUICE

That one and the nonsensical pissed on chickens line sure make me think someone's writing folksy lines for this guy. Neither of those are idioms with which I'm familiar, and they're just dumb.

I am 95% certain that Victor's whole idea was to refuse to move to America as a way to get free of Ellie, who was a nice nough lady he fucked while she was on vacation, then she started telling him about her dead husband, and he thought "Whoa, I was not trying to get into this sort of situation, now I'm stuck with her or I'm a total asshole". Kind of like if you started dating someone and a month later they're in some crippling accident, and you'd kind of feel obliged to stay with them even if you were on the verge of breaking up with them prior to the accident at least until they were out of the hospital. Instead of her saying "I understand, I guess it was fun while it lasted," she called his bluff and said she'd move to his country. Whoops! Very, very easy when laid out in this way :)

I can't figure out how these benefactors don't get what a BAD look it is when they're like "Yeah, well it's MY money." If I give someone money, even if that's a 'loan', it better be money I'm prepared to never see again. Mentioning it all the time makes it gross.

I always get on the baby mama when they are aghast that their baby daddy, normally a super chill fun dude that they decided to fuck on a vacation, turns out to be, in fact, a barely employable, barely interested scammer or something like that, but honestly, this is exactly the same problem. Bini didn't NEED to bang Ari, get her pregnant, then marry her and have to live under the thumb of her parents' financial support. He seemed like he was pretty comfortable dancing and karate kicking his way through a young single life in Addis Abbaba. BUT YOU DID get her pregnant and now you're stuck with all that other stuff.

Guys, let's not sleep on one important detail: THAT TRANSLATOR WAS A KNOCKOUT. Honestly the most interesting thing in this snoozerbowl. I'll take a couple devil's advocate positions: I know people get frustrated with Janice and what appears to be here meddling, but if your kid had come home and cried for two months (aside: what a fun visit this must have been, and it explains why they're so comfortable just saying "Fine, I'll get you an apartment in Kenya now, anything to get you out of here"), I'd think almost all of us would have a lot of direct and uncomfortable questions for the other party. Of course, the easiest answer is "Don't go back," but i also don't think they're bad enough people to decide "Let Bini sue you for custody, we have more resources, we're already in America with the baby, and the pandemic is still making everything long." I think they know they have to make the effort to keep Bini in Avi's life, and that's why they fund it. Kenny's kids...okay, so that wasn't a great. BUT. There's a harsh reality they deal with: Kenny's much older than Armando. He is assuredly not going to be around forever, and maybe they're worried about either making a relationship with a new adopted sibling, then having that ripped away whn Kenny dies....you know what, forget it, full stop bad job by the Kenny kids.

Not even remotely common to do so. This is a boatfull of douchebags the likes of which I haven't seen since that gross software guy in season one of Med, who loved DAnny the Deckhand, and made a return a season or two later. Just major league creep chills.

I noticed the same thing. I'm not sure what elective cosmetic surgery is a good idea when you're under 30, but this one seems especially bad, it's like they're now lopsided and she can't close them all the way to speak clearly. And I think she's plenty attractive, it's just I don't get why she thought that was something she should do. SHe's not alone, though, plenty of ladies are doing it. Disposable income I guess. FOr clarity, i'm not talking about breast implants to alleviate a mastectomy or some sort of corrective plastic surgery, I'm talking purely elective.

Almost assuredly just a very confused Uber driver, I said. Also agree that there's nothing "wacky" and 'charming' about jumping in a pool for no reason other than to show how spontaneous you are. It just makes you LESS spontaneous.

LOL, no, I erased that nonsense from my memory. The overlaid audio of the baby crying in that scene was the best part, now that I'm forced to recall it. Even the PREMISE of that scene is completely idiotic.

I watched this scene and hated how staged it came off. In reality that scene is a "I can mail your last check, no need to come by to get it, not a big deal, good luck" phone call. I kept imagining the boss saying "OK, well, there's your last check, so..." awkwardly every time Steven was like "Alina this, Hungary that." Just "Sounds cool man, take care" is all he'd really get.

Isn't this "ProvEN fact"? Also, not really high praise that millions of people "stand" her.

I think the same thing here: this woman seems less scheme-y than Stephanie, and certainly less apt to toss around her dough. I'm actually worried that the show will become even darker now, because if we realize she's being taken advantage of, if she's got genuine emotions about it, then doesn't the production also recognize it, and still film it? That seems somehow AS sinister as whatever this guy's up to.

THere's a part of this ep where Ari talks about how she's had a hard time forming friendships, it was totally aggravating. Seriously that has nothing to do with how nice Ari is (I'm not saying she is, my guess is she's a nightmare most of the time but for understandable not justifiable reasons), how tolerant Ethiopians are of other cultures and people (no idea). Ari, do you think it might be because you literally have NOTHING IN COMMON with these people from a life perspective? You have no shared experiences that would connect you with anyone there, it's an entirely different way of life. Does it look like anyone in Addis Ababa was looking for mommy and me prenatal yoga classes? It's aggravating because as usual, it's an entirely predictable problem. Trying to imagine a discussion where my wife is like "Wait, let's talk to our astrologist about this major life decision" that doesn't end with my re-examining our power of attorney paperrwork.

To quote Anthony Anderson, 'flava on a hunnet...sugar on zero.' Seriously, what a pair of people: she fucked someone else and clearly does not see marriage as a long term thing ("something you do for people you love" is a trip to Disney World, not a lifelong commitment), but how on earth does the detail "I couldn't get it up!" help his case in an argument? Just shut the fuck up and take your medicine, why humiliate yourself any further? It's like dignity is a foreign concept to these people. The new lady with the pizza place, I feel for her. She's clearly lost and understandably so, it's just brutal knowing she's in for real heartache, not the kind that this show makes you pretend to have in your third season. They should never repeat couples, if you ask me, the new ones are always more interesting to watch.

This is most assuredly not "white people shit," like knitting is. My wife couldn't get over this nonsense: I've never heard of a culture where it's totally cool to invite your ex husband to sleep in your house. And this whole scene is bullshit. FIrst of all, are we t believe that the discussion prior to this scene was sincerely Ari and BInyam talking about (a) her ex husband coming to sleep over for an extended period during a pandemic and (b) one of them said "You know who needs to know about this? My / your sisters! That'll really help us figure this out". WHY? THen they kept saying "in our culture" like it was somehow unusual or unique. No, it isn't. This is not appropriate in every culture I know of, I mean maybe if the guy was the father of your children, and was terminally ill, and homeless, and was on his deathbed, I could see it, but my wife expressly said "I don't ever even want to meet any of your exes" as if she was already mad at me for doing something I'd never do, thanks to this show. FYI: been together 20 years and she hasn't met a single one, so it's not like it's something that was an issue.

Potthastholes.

I wasn't a fan, but I think if you swap him out with any other crew member right now you'd have a better show. It's not a compliment to Danny as much as it is a condemnation of the current crop. I hate all of them. Especially that toolbag with the stache who loves geese and making noises like an imbecile. Dafuq with that guy. I'm glad he exists just to shatter the stereotype that any man with a British accent is a sophisticated debonair person.

My theory is this job (yachting) and reality TV both independently attract people with inherent emotional issues, for the most part. People who have trouble fitting in at other jobs, who function okay in a nomadic sort of dynamic, might struggle with adult relationships (at the deckie / stew level) and love to travel for any number of reasons (in this case, mostly because they are super at Instagram and there's a lot of self-congratulation itch to scratch in these locales), these are the people who I think are likely doing yacht work. Reality TV attracts a completely different set: clowns who think they're an undiscovered star if only they could get the right level of exposure, who really overestimate their entertainment value, who think drinking is the way to really highlighting their talents. People who crave the approval of the masses but don't know why and certainly have no real talent that would naturally get them there. NOW, you take both of these personality types: yacht crew + reality TV star and you put them into one person then multiply that person by seven to come up with a crew? You have basically a boat full of self absorbed, inexplicably self impressed, willing to debase themselves in any number of ways, and you're sure to end up with a few sociopath-lites like Lexi (honestly who carries a burn list as an adult? put it in your diary, sweetie). I hate that I watch this show. Bring back Danny the Deckhand.

Easily the worst crew in the history of the show, I'm afraid. I'm surprised so few have gotten as irritated as I did when Lexi was like "You wanna compare degrees" and "I have an 8K condo in a Miami hi rise." I had a full on guinea hand-gesticulations-included blow up at the degree thing, then had ANOTHER one when she said that shit about where she lived. Girl, get a GRIP: no matter what your degree is, YOU ARE A WAITRESS WHO VACUUMS AND WASHES OTHER PEOPLE'S DRAWERS. Talk about an own-goal. Your condo in Miami, we KNOW you don't pay for it if it exists, because you're sleeping in a closet smelling Malia's farts all night. If you're so big time, fuck right off the boat and come back as a guest like that one chief stew from season 2. Also count me in on the "STOP SAYING DADDY" crowd, that girl's a real try-hard in the sex department. How Mzi didn't have a concussion or a broken nose after that fall is beyond me, that looked REAL painful. How do people drink like this? It's insane how much alcohol gets consumed on these shows, they really need a disclaimer or something.

This is the same move as convincing a girl in your junior year of high school to go around telling everyone you've got a big dick and are good at using it. It's total bullshit, it's because Colt wants everyone to think he's Casanova, some insatiable sex machine, when we all now his skin feels like wet clammy clay and he smells like an ARby's bag. GIve me a fucking break, dude.

Let me tell you, I'm entirely sick of the whole, "Well, there's something I haven't told [spouse] and when they hear about it, they're going to be upset" and the constant buffet of nothingburgers that follow. If you're going to just make shit up, production (like make Kalani and Kalini decide that right here on this display bed at a furniture store is exactly where I need to have a tearful conversation about the state of my marriage, which absolutely needed to have a guy come by and ask "Have you seen anything you like, something I can help you with ladies?" in an inappropriately cheery tone like Mr/ Tableside Guac from Breaking Bad), then at least make it so ridiculous that it's interesting. "I have to go to work four days earlier than expected" is not "SOMETHING I HAVE TO TELL YARA AFTER THIS COMMERCIAL BREAK." Tell her you're not sure she's the mother of that baby. Tell her you are masturbating eight times a day and always have been. Tell her you have quit your job and are investing in Tiger King's old zoo, adn you're all moving there. This show sucks.

Gotta say, I am NOT mad at Kalini in that overalls / little shirt underneath number. That woman CRUSHES "casual hot" in my book. And that's not the same house they were in last time we say them. No apple tree in the yard, the kitchen was yellow, and her dad isn't around. Definitely an Air BNB.

Both my wife and I thought Stephanie's cat was long dead and had been taxiderm-ed. It's like it had some weird defense mechanism when she touched it, its cat soul basically escaped its body until she put it down. I've never seen such a lifeless look from an animal. Not disdain, not resentment, not joy...just "if I stay totally still this will be over sooner."

I'm not denigrating anyone's job, no shame in hard work...but you're at a wedding, I mean jeez, I don't expect the guy to own a tux or even wear a suit (this whole charade is ridiculous) but WASH YOUR HANDS, even if it's just for covid safety at the time!

UGH I'm so glad someone else noticed this, so fucking gross! It was like he had just finished landscaping.
