    Hi Poeticlicensed - I think she took in the first three kids when they were abused by her cousin and/or cousin's husband. They arrived in Cynthia's life with horrific injuries, poor things. 

    I don't get the aversion to therapy we sometimes see on this and other similar shows. It is uncomfortable to hold a mirror to ourselves and to dig away at our hurts, but it is often necessary in order to heal. People often see therapy = weakness, and that's just not right!

    She did later on say that "these kids have already lost one mother...."

    Whoa -- that wasn't a very successful ending.  I'll bet this woman will "beat" that gastric sleeve & be right back where she started.  What a waste of time & effort.  When her daughter started crying right before they took her to surgery, I lost it too.  I really had hopes for her, but no more.

    I know, right? That ending was....depressing.  For an educated woman, she said some stupid things...like, "Four pounds! He's mad about 4 pounds!" No...he's upset because in addition to gaining 4 pounds, you also didn't lose any! Funny how that just slipped her mind.  And that mouth on her...every other word a f'ing this or that.  I wonder how the principal and superintendent of her school viewed that?  When she ate those two pizzas in her classroom....I was amazed that she wasn't dead yet.

    As much as Taniel is still around in death, Im surprised his body wasnt exhumed ala Norma in Bates Motel so that he can physically be present and worshipped by Nicole. This has been beyond ridiculous and continues to be!

    OT...I love the new Bates Motel. :)

    There weren't too many Polish Cossacks.

    I think you are assuming any ending of "ky" , "vosky", "yevsky" is Polish.  That is inaccurate.  It is a common surname among Poles, Ukrainians, and Russians.

    And Czech's.  My maiden name ended in "sky". Both sets of grandparents came from Prague.

    I'm sorry, but Nicole IS a pig. She's as much a disgusting hole as Anfisa. Jorge, and I do not pronounce that as George, is a liar and a dumb ass in a dangerous field. Selling pot in LA, is freaking scary. A friend of mine had a small medical coop with some friends and they dissolved it because gangs threatened them. 

    Channel, fuck off, you lying brat, putting it all on Pedro's shoulders so her family would hate him.  

    I don't think anyone has a right to opinion on someone's hair. It smacks of white elitism.

    I think Matt is a creep, who didn't back up Alla being treated so badly until he was threatened with HIS wedding being destroyed. 

    As far as Matt is concerned....I would venture to say that Alla looked the happiest -- the most content out of all of them. Matt was caressing her hand with his thumb, and his hand on her shoulder several times throughout the broadcast, in a way that loving, intimate partners do.  I've never found Matt a "goober"....but rather, perhaps a "Mr. Deeds" kind of folksy guy.  I never did understand all the bashing of him, because of it.  So he's been married 4 times.  Maybe he's too trusting.  Anyway, he seems to be treating Alla well, and she doesn't seem to mind him.

    I thought nothing of the style. I understand its the trend. What I didn't like was Narkiya's son's hair color. I don't agree with kids having their hair dyed.

    I've researched this a lot, because I have an 11 year old dying (lol!) to get her hair colored.  Before puberty, it is NOT recommended that kids get their hair colored.  I've asked several sytlists about this.  It has something to do with their hair before puberty vs. after, as well as the chemicals in the dye.  Others here in the profession could probably say it better than me. :)

    I think the problem is Shaun acts as if she's never seen the show.

    What's wrong with Narkyia's son hair?  I thought it looked very nice; he looked nice and well groomed.  I don't get the complaints about her son's hair and River's hair.  Those comments make me feel very uncomfortable.

    I think Narkyia and Lowo are no more, at least I hope so.

    You shouldn't feel uncomfortable.  It's just people with different opinions and tastes...no more so than anyone who doesn't like his hair should feel uncomfortable that you like it.  Nothing scary about it. Just a right to having an opinion. :)

  8. So Pedro admits he understood "Chantal family" all along, and just played dumb.  Sigh.

    Anfisa/Jorge -- there's not much left to say.  Except how embarrassing to have your wife tell everyone that you were "broke" and that's why you couldn't make the flight. And the smashed phones. And admitting that they basically have no control and resort to physical means to deal with it.  I was pretty amazed they even got married, what with that article we all read on here that said they didn't make it to the altar.  That's what I thought it said, anyway.

    Alla -- wow. Her sister made is after all.   I figured the ultimate plan was to have her find a man to marry, and move to the US, too.  Maybe that happened at the wedding. 

    Nicole -- she had remarkable poise for most of the night -- given her immaturity in times past. Or maybe it was just good editing.  I walked out of the room right around the time Azan's feed was lost, so I missed that.

    That dress is a monstrosity . . . as are the clashing bridesmaid dresses and the guys' mismatched suits. Can we say budget wedding??

    Joy's courting a guy she's known for 15 yrs? They have guy friends? Since when? Hopefully he knows he's getting a woman who doesn't want to be a girly girl and he's fine with that. Maybe it's a convenience marriage -- both have parent pressuring them to marry and/or both want to get on with their lives, might as well marry a friend.

    I didn't get the bridesmaid's dresses at all. Was there a reason for those particular colors?  Was there a reason each person got whatever color they did?  And those man buns....please. The man bun has more than passed it's prime.

    And at the end of the wedding....which Duggar couple was it that did the "dip kiss"?  (I mean, I know it was a married couple, but couldn't see which one, but how tacky to try to put the spotlight on yourselves....)

    That Big "V" really bothers me.  It screams Virgin, oh no it must mean Jeremy's last name.  In that case, why not a big "VD' since their are two people with 2 names going up there?   hahahahaha

    Ugh! That "V" just screamed "vagina" to me.

    I thought it was very bizarre.

    I just found this series and have only seen the reunion show (I have the rest ready to record) but I have to comment! LOL! 

    I get it that Mohamed is sleazy, that is clear.  I have to say that I found myself on his side, though.  He wanted a green card and she knew that!  That is what this show is all about.  I have a very hard time finding sympathy for her.   He is not to be blamed for her fantasy of him falling in love with her.  Everyone told her what was going on, she didn't listen.  Not that she needed that, it should have been clear to her.  She is a pathetic character and painful to watch but she created the mess she is in, Mohamed did not.  The casting director has to take some responsibility, too.  

    I really think Dani thought Mo loved her. The green card was incidental.  To her, I mean.

    Russ is the human equivalent of post-nasal drip.  Did you see the flash of petulant brat temper when Pao was on the phone with her parents?  As I said before, I almost married a man who behaved just like that.  And all I will say about it now is Thank God I Got Out.

    He's nada.  Beige paint.  Pablum.  Paola can do so much better.

    To be fair, she and her family were mocking him. (ha, ha! It's easier to change husbands than it is jobs!) I can't say I wouldn't be  a little angry myself.

    I apologize in advance for what I am about to write.

    Perhaps it was not urine. Some women are able to ejaculate during intercourse.

    And me, here I am, sitting here wondering how she pee'd "on" him (as was said).  The logistics of the whole thing has taken up way too much of my time. But I doubt her told her to get on top of him.  Maybe it was just a misused word.  Or they were standing face to face, and she .....-oh, nevermind.

    Or just turn off his phone? It's that easy.

    I wonder if he could just buy another phone for business purposes? He seems to like to spend money. And I think he even likes getting dinged by Anfisa.

    And Alla needs to understand that she is marrying someone who places a LOT of importance on love. For her, it may be about friendship, affection and respect that may one day grow in to more. But Matt wants to be loved. He wants it very very badly. And whether she's doing it for the right reasons or not, she's denying him that. He's a big puss, so he'll hang around, but he's obviously hurt by it.

     

    See comment above about friendship, affection, and respect. Alla wants to make a better life for herself and her son. But she's not willing to abuse Matt to get it. They've had their disagreements, but she she's been quite adaptable and willing to go along to get along.

     

    Yes, but can you imagine the repercussions when he gets home?

    For some reason, whenever Jorge says "my love", I hear "Mistress." Yes Mistress. Right away, Mistress. Whatever you say, Mistress.

    I wouldn't go that far. If it passes, there will be a lot of competition and a lot of motivation to get into that market. He's going to have to step up his efforts in order to win market share, or he'll be squeezed out. Depends on how good a businessman he is.

    I give his mom a pass. I'm not ready to ascribe racism to a situation where we have so little context. Her baby boy went to another country to marry this idiot chick who tried to hide their relationship, and when it finally came out, sided with her parents in bullying him into signing a legal document he doesn't understand. Meanwhile, she's far away and can't do anything to help or to support him. I think she went into full on mama bear mode.

    Patrick isn't doing anything to help anybody. He a "right fighter." He just wants to be right. And he wants everyone to acknowledge it. And when the relationship doesn't work out, he will be the first to say "I told you so." I don't think any of his behavior comes from caring about Matt. I actually don't think he likes Matt very much at all.

    I agree she's doesn't come across as a shrew like Anfisa.  She still seems wooden, though, and she is fully capable of having dead, dark eyes. I saw that with the looks she was giving Patrick (not that he didn't deserve it).  I guess she's doing the best she can regarding her feelings for him.    I know she's capable of deep feelings, because I see it with her sister.

    I am Haitian and I didn't take her comment to mean this. Interesting. I am aware of how people from DR view Haitians, well aware sadly due to personal experience, but yeah. I am very disappointed if she meant it that way.

    Azan acknowledged he didn't treat Nicole well while she was visiting him, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he told her to shut the fuck up. He's not a good guy, IMO. Nicole is no better.

    The ONLY reason he said that was because they were safely sitting in a public place (the airport), and she would be leaving in a matter of minutes, AND he didn't want to screw up his chance for a green card.   Just my opinion, of course!

    I thought when she said she "may never" tell him she loves him that it was in the context of "who knows how long we'll live? I could be gone (dead) in 3 years"? Or am I confusing multiple conversations? Again, I think she is talking more about saying the words than her feelings. I came from a family where I don't think I ever heard my mom or dad say "I love you" to me, but I knew they did. Those words were just not used. And I've been in relationships where the words were thrown around a lot, but the actions just weren't there.  I think that Americans focus on the words (generalizing!!), and other cultures focus on the actions that go with loving someone.

    I don't know...they had like 3 different conversations about this in the course of the evening.  I heard him say something like, "Well, when do you think you might say you love me?" and she said, "I may never say I love you."  I do, however, recall the part you mentioned (about the 3 years). I think that was during their dinner with Pat and his girlfriend.  I am glad she doesn't take love so seriously (or saying the words). I'm like that. I get it.  You don't just throw it around. But to tell someone that you are considering marrying that you may "never" love them is probably jumping the gun. There were kinder ways she could have said what she was trying to get across. I think it's a cultural thing.

    She never said she did not love him all in all. She just said she hadn't told him aloud.

    She said she "may never" tell him she loves him.  Really, she can see how important it is to him to hear it. He even explained it to her. If she "still" cannot possibly "ever" tell him...she doesn't love him.

  19. Jorge and Anfisa -- you're both idiots who deserve each other.  Jorge must be the baby of the family by a few decades. Some of his sisters could pass for his mom.

    What makes Alla any different than Anfisa, except for her quiet demeanor?  She's in this for the same reasons Anfisa is.  Anfisa wants money. Alla wants a green card and to bring her sister over.  Matt -- he's  pathetic. Seriously.  That he would have  no problem with the fact that this woman says she may "never" love him.  The sex must be good.

    The nurse and the catfisher -- I can't even recall either of their names -- nauseating. Another one who has no self-respect.  Again, the sex must be good.

    Chantal -- how disrespectfully she talks about her future MIL.  If I were her parents, I'd be embarrassed to have anyone know she was my daughter, but they probably spoiled her from day one, so this is what you get, I guess.  Pedro  -- I'm not sure what to make of him. Again, the sex must be good.

    Yes, that kind of prostitute.  Anfisa is living on Jorge's dime, with an understanding that she will act in a certain way if she is properly remunerated.

    The "just a red-blooded American boy" line of reasoning doesn't work.   He's a pig.   He cheapens the whole idea of love.  Love comes from knowing a person, sharing experiences with him or her, both good times and bad.   It happens over time, not just because you lay down X-amount of dollars or pop a boner whenever Miss Red Square 2016 trots out the Fredericks of Hollywood get-up. 

    To label Anfisa a "cold hearted B" is a convenient way to excuse Jorge -- and all men, really -- of responsibility.   He's just doing what comes natural!   She's the bitch."   Baloney.   What next?   He paid for dinner so she should put out?   You also try to excuse Jorge by saying he's stupid, or thought she would change -- in other words, he's of diminished mental capacity so none of this is his fault, she's the bitch.

    Poor stupid Jorge.  All he did was rule out all possibility of trying to meet a nice, ordinary woman who might love him for himself and instead sought out and shelled out for the fake affections of a big-titted, soul-sucking foreigner who doesn't care whether he lives or dies as long as the money keeps flowing.   And because he finds himself unable to live up to the phony, overblown promises he made her -- all lies, apparently --  he's the victim?

    I have to say, I'm not feeling it.

    Entirely your right.  I just don't like women who act like Anfisa, I guess (and I'm a woman).  I don't necessarily like men who act like Jorge, either.  But she just seems so much....worse to me.
