So, is Theresa going to be gone for a while, like....on a tropical island somewhere, or gone, as in, dead?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, I'm trying to play catch up. Am I the only one who finds this city wide bombing sequence to be in poor taste, given world events?

Oh, Chantal....you are such a baby!

Getting tired of Pedro playing dumb with her parents.

What a snoozefest! I now know even more than I ever wanted about the Duggar boys' dating preferences. Derick looks scary. All that hair...and grease...or whatever that is. JimBob is such a boob. The way he draws out his response to the courting requests from the guys. Oh, to be a thought-bubble above Jeremy's head while he was waiting....

You're right, they do. My only problem with that is that they just arrived in this country, and Max is still probably getting used to his surroundings. Or had they been there for like 3-4 months when she went out? It seemed like it was more like 2 weeks.

There are men drinking beer while home alone with their sons all across the US. I'd be more worried if he gave him a drink of it. The kid does seem to have a penchant for grabbing for alcoholic drinks. I was surprised at his lack of manners (yes, even at his age) when they were at the family dinner, and he's just lunging across the table, trying to grab someone's drink, like a feral child. Seemed like something maybe a 2 year old would do.

I have to wonder at what we see on the show vs. reality. Of course the producers are only going to show us the juiciest things, designed to build drama. Like when Anfisa said that she and Jorge had been dating for a year. Or if you look at Matt's FB page...he has a picture of him and Allah that was put up over a year ago. So I kind of have to remind myself that although it looks like they all don't know each other very well, with the exception of Nicole and Azan, they've all already met (and continued talking, hopefully) long before this show brought them on.

Obese people are still deserving of love and affection -- as they say, they are the last group that is openly mocked, ridiculed, and discriminated against, and no one bats an eye. We don't know that this isn't a romantic match (yeah, I know how it looks), but how rude of that person to even take a video like this! Having said that, I think the culture in Jamaica is VERY different -- just look at the couple from last season Melanie and Devar -- his sister absolutely refuses to work and go to school, and has no problem asking them to financially support her. And Devar has absolutely no problem sending her money. It must be a Jamaican thing. I'm not pro-Matt. But as a parent of small kids, if we moved to a foreign land where they knew virtually no one, and had barely a grasp of the language being spoken, I wouldn't leave them for the evening while I went out for a drink. Have your drink at home. Invite your friends over. Tell Matt to get lost for a few hours. What if the kid wakes up from a nightmare, terrified, and his mom is no where to be found, only Matt?

Maybe then an 8 year old who barely speaks English and is in a foreign land should expect his mom to be there as he's sleeping for the night -- he's hardly acclimated.

She was 5 :) She turned 5 at the beginning of August. She had Pre-K at 4, at a regular preschool. I would recommend homeschooling (for at least a year) to anyone who can do it. I think it really gives you a lot of insight as a parent. Well, up until August of this year, she was calling him her Starbucks Man on FB....so, there you go!

To answer my own question, yes, he does! LOL! I saw upthread everyone's facebook links....So...Azan isn't really named Azan, if it's the same person...and Nicole posted on that page recently (August). Salan Tefou=Azan. Huh. Hard for me to picture her as a barrista...but....stranger things have happened.

Does Azan speak French? Il y a beaucoup de français sur cette page!

Wait....Nicole works??? Scroll down for her, "I finally brought my lunch to work" tweet.

I'll be the one to say it. I was fascinated by her cousin. The hairdo, the nose ring, etc. I also really liked the way she didn't sugarcoat anything.

Never knew that. I wonder what else I'm missing out on? No, there's quite a lot of hypocrisy in FundieLand. It's common to read the Bible and pick and choose that which suits you.

My dh said she warmed it up in the microwave - that he saw her. I'm beginning to think he's yanking my chain.

I may be in the minority here, but I want something to wipe that smug, cold hearted, b!tch smirk off of Anfisa's face. True, like many, I think Jorge is a boob...but I don't think Anfisa should be rewarded simply for being an honest b!tch.

Needing a 14 page instruction booklet to prepare was purely Jen being a control freak, and perhaps more than a little anal. She even admitted this.

Nicole - "You can't show me off....." She's either developmentally disabled, or that was Azan's hook to get her ...."Oh, my beautiful American princess....I cannot wait to get you here, to show you all to all my countrymen! They will think I am the luckiest man, to have a beautiful blonde American bride!"

It looks like he was holding church in his house.

Me too! I said to my husband last night, "Did she just say he was a gay prince?" He was half asleep so was no good as far as an answer goes....

She was 5....she'd just turned 5 at the beginning of August (but not August 1st), and the cutoff was August 1st. The school psychologist tried to talk me into keeping her at home until she was 6...but I was an August baby with a birthday later than hers and went to Kindergarten at 5, so I didn't see any reason why she couldn't. She's an average student, with above average grades when she doesn't rush through her work.

Heck, it's free sex. What's not to like, as far as Pedro is concerned?? (Well, except for the man-grinding). And excessive drinking {according to him.}

When Nicole hid her face in Azan's neck (at the family table) and murmured, "I'm shyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"...Dani 2.0.
