Wait. Is his real name Temperature?

Didn't Kara say "no boys"? Tim's a boy, right?

Me me me me me MEEEEEE... Like I said, Yve's too old for this. What the fuck did she expect?

Jibri needs to grow the hell up. Miona's like: COOL, when can we leave?

Jibri: I feel like I'm 15 years old again. Brian: I feel like you're being 15 years old again too. YASSSSSS They would have BEEN out of my house by now...

OMG I CANNOT WITH AVI MAKING THEM KISS 😭

Does Ari have a fucking JOB?? Avi is getting so big! He's just adorable.

WAIT a minute...Bini knows how to sew? Well damn...

God NO...I don't want to see Mohammed have to deal with her "squad" again. Unless he can bring his own squad...now THAT would be interesting...

Whoa...did I see that door plate read DR Yvette...?

How many different ways can we say "Bilal, you're an asshole"? And I didn't realize that Shaaeda would be his THIRD shot at marriage. Were both his previous wives Americans? Guess he thought he'd have better luck going overseas...too bad he picked a grown-ass woman...

I too have a friend who left Brazil as soon as she was old enough. And she came from (relative) privilege...and has been in America 30+ years...

Unpopular (maybe? ain't been here in a while) opinion: Yve is TOO DAMN OLD to be acting surprised that this barely-grown man / overgrown boy isn't all hopped up over a damn wedding. Mohammed may be a dick, but she's acting simple.

First Temperature, then Daddy Thais telling some truths about the good old U.S of A. Wow. Who else?

YIKES! I hope you mean Fahrenheit... It's only 70 degrees F here in NE Ohio.

Hey y'all...long time no snark... This was going to be my last live snark since I decided to cancel my Discovery Plus account (because shit is mad expensive yo) but not 60 minutes ago they were like hey wanna do 3 months ad-free for $4.99? and so I'm sticking around at least through this 90DF season. After it's over though, I'm reclaiming my time and my motherfucking brain cells...

I used to work with international students and faculty at a major university. The one faculty member that I met who was from Cameroon was from the English-speaking part. He also mentioned that there had been clashes between the French speakers and the English speakers. Me being me, I decided to Google "languages of Cameroon" and...oncoming rabbit hole alert: Don't click on this link if you have someplace to be. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Cameroon

I'm a Gemini, therefore I'm super-intelligent, two-faced, and more than a little crazy. Yep. 😐 Also, JFK and Trump were/are both Geminis, so there's that. All of this sounds too much like right, though... Look, I get it. You're halfway around the world in a country where nobody knows you. That whole YOLO thing is very intoxicating. Unfortunately the hangover can end up lasting your entire life. Think little Koban's got a 529 plan? I'm guessing no. THANK YOU. My only regret about leaving Chicago was not getting a lakefront condo when I had the chance. Not going to spend a ton of typing on these fools... I NEED to know Jibri's grandma's story. She looks like a real one...I want to know how she grew up, how she met Mahala's dad, how they split up, and how she ended up having her own little one-lesbian separatist farm. Ari, Emily, Kara: Three more spoiled American women who think everyone in their orbit's supposed to kiss their ass. If they were men, everybody'd be pitching a fit. I have a feeling Mohamed told Yve from the jump that he wanted to marry an observant Muslim woman or, if she wasn't going to convert outright, at least a culturally conservative woman. That's the only reason why I could see her editing her closet, not drinking wine, etc. She knew what she was getting when she brought him over here. For her to act upset over a bikini...I smell producer bullshit. I said I wasn't going to watch Bilal and Shaeeda but I did watch their one scene. I'm already not touching him with a 20-foot pole so it was slightly refreshing to get only a little of the misogyny this episode. Unfortunately I see he's back to full strength next episode. I have honestly lost count of the number of times in my life I've had to tell a guy that I already have a daddy and I REALLY don't need another one...

I missed last Sunday’s live but I’m copying my last post (commenting on this episode) for reference: I stand by this…and if that makes me an old fart, so be it. I’m about to turn 57 so interpret this how you will: Miona can wear wear whatever she wants outside of my house, but in MY house, nobody wants or needs to see all your bits. And by “nobody” I mean ME. My house, my rules… and if Jibri doesn’t want to be treated like a 13-year-old, there’s the door, dude. I see next week Miona’s putting on her best blackfish so…yeah…fuck both of them. I stand by this too. Does EVERYTHING have to be about you, Ari? You can’t wait until you’re back in Princeton to unload on Bini? Let the man enjoy NYC, damn. (I remember my first visit as an adult. It was mind blowing…for both good and bad. It was 1987…I’d never seen so many homeless people in my life…) I don’t really remember their segments but I’m going to renege on this one. I don’t see him standing for her behavior much longer. And speaking of behavior… I’m side-eyeing her hard right now. You know enough to clear out your closet but you don’t know to ask Mohamed to deal with the plumber about HIS bidet? That said, Mohamed doesn’t seem to have a problem fucking a woman who’s not his wife, so he can GTFO with his holier-than-thou bullshit. I stand by this one too. Originally I thought John was just being a dick but after that conversation with Patrick I saw that they’re bonded by their childhood trauma. Sorry, Thais…they’re a package deal, at least for now. I told my teenage niece (who’s the only reason I started watching this franchise in the first place) that if I’m going to watch the rest of this season, I’m fast-forwarding through Bilal and Shaeeda’s scenes. I’ve had a few too many Bilals in my life and I get no entertainment from watching him manipulate Shaeeda.

Next week: Jibri, if you don't like your parents' rules, MOVE THE FUCK OUT! Ari, if you don't like being told to calm down, SHUT THE FUCK UP! Guillermo, if you don't like how Kara drinks, SHUT THE FUCK UP! Yve, if you're not willing to abide by the rules of Islam, SHUT THE FUCK UP! Thais, if you don't like having John in the house, MOVE THE FUCK OUT! Bilal...you know what? Never mind. Just fuck off. Made it through with y'all's help...thanks! Have a great week!

Oh FFS, Emily. Do you want Kobe to sleep in the basement or what?

My God. Hard to believe Ari is 30. Were her other siblings this spoiled? How do they feel about all this?

This whole Bilal/Shaaeda thing is working my LAST nerve. Bilal triggers me SO HARD, first off. Every minute Shaaeda stays with him, any respect I had for her goes down. With all these red flags...why the HELL is she still there? (I do like that bedroom/bathroom suite...)

And then brought the kid back to their lily-white home towns and were shocked (!) at how their kid was treated? Yep.

Combined with what I suspect is subpar intelligence...I'm not feeling him one bit. And I'm side-eyeing Yve for getting with him in the first place...
