[S08.E03: Slipping Through My Fingers]

The ‘clurb’ looked like a converted warehouse rental unit . it looked rough, and uninviting. I’m sorry but i want a drink in a glass and not in a cheap disposable cup. 

Twit was very rude toward her Mom.  She treated her like an unwelcome guest... “oh time to haul ole Bab’s to the B&B”..She took over the phone conversation with her Dad even though the phone call was for Babs.  There is a very weird competition go on there with her Mom. unhealthy to the max. 

The engagement  ring is replaceable. it looked like costume jewelry you’d find at Claires.  Buy 3 for $25.

Wilmington looked beautiful and Chase has done well for himself if that is his actual home.  

I nearly choked on my tea when Daddy enabler said she should not  leave her successful business to go live with Chase. As if.  Mr. 1950’s life would be complete if Twit was a ‘kept woman’ stay at home, eat bon bons, take the ‘happy pills,’ and have the gin and  tonic ready when the husband comes home kind of woman. Please wear pearls and keep the red lipstick fresh...

[S02.E21: The Cost Of Love]

I really enjoyed seeing the different cultural ceremonies like the baby baptism bread wrap and the Korean marriage box.

 Ari's mom planted the seed: There is an escape route if 'things don't work out.' Ari's response at the time seemed fit for a rebel child. She wants to 'rock the boat" so to speak because her family are elitist snobs.  But at the end of the day, I'm sure Ari will keep that offer in her back pocket for future use.

Not sure why  Unibrow was upset that Cheesedick had to go back home. He'd have to return home as his visa would expire and he doesn't have employment there. Another TLC fake moment.

I laughed a bit when Summeat's parents asked if Jenny was the best he could do. Find a hundred year old.  Oooh, burn.    Summeat should have said, "I tried catfishing someone younger but they weren't  naive or stupid enough to fall for it." 

I feel sorry for Yazan. He's hopelessly in love with a vapid fool. side note: I find Obaida very attractive.

Deaven and her Mom sound exactly the same and share the same sour expression. Even the moment with Deaven trying on the wedding dress was as exciting as opening up a bottle of flat champagne. They just so 'meh' about everything.

 

[S08.E02: Whitney's Long-Distance Relationship]

I wasn't going to watch this season. But I want to see Twit's fake break-up meltdown.

She can't move to be with her fiance because "OMG, I have so much going on here in Charlotte"  Sis, you don't work. What a crock of bull. This storyline was written well in advance when Chase was hired by TLC. She knew about the girlfriend .

I'm not a Buddy fan but it was shocking to hear his innermost thoughts laid out. He wants to 'burn the world down' and 'tickle his temple" aka, blow his brains out. I've said this before: he should not be on a reality tv program. It's not a good thing for his sobriety or his mental health.

I wonder how Buddy will feel when he sees his bff whisper gossip about him as soon as she lumbered back into the house.

"I'm a very competitive person"  In Twit's mind, competitiveness means launching her stumpy body across a log like an "obese turtle flailing on its back in the hot sun**."  (**Thanks, Anderson Cooper) Look around, Twit, nobody else is around.

She's not competitive. She's an idiot. A clown.

 

 

 

[S02.E20: Not On My Watch]

Summeat is with Jenny to be the REBEL child.  The preview for next week's theatrics proves it. The freak out scene in front of Mom and Dad was over da top.  TAKE A XANAX, dude. They act like they're freakin' Romeo and Juliet.  Once  the drama wears off, and reality sets, (he's married to Jenny)  Summeat will be back online pretending he's Rico Suave.

Ari's parents are snobs. Pass the grey poupon. The apartment is fine for three people and they insulted Bini to his very core. I could see the shame and hurt in his eyes.  I really can't stand any of them. However, Bini's sisters are pretty rude too. Nothing is worse than someone telling you that your newborn baby is going to HELL!  Religion really puts a snag in the afterglow of sexy times. See also: Brittnay and Yazan. I personally don't think any of this is going to end well.

Kenny is working my last nerve. He wants to get married  NOW so he can get a job and provide for his family. Dude, you don't know a lick of Spanish. No one is going to hire your ass. Get real. His controlling and possessive nature is really coming out.

Jihoon does pull in some funny lines. EP syndrome = Elisa phobia.  That was good buddy. Thank you. Otherwise this week's episode was a pass for me.

I honestly do not believe Buddy ever had a powdered cocaine addiction. As someone that works in social services and in a previous, much more glamorous life, snorted a LOT of cocaine as well as knowing a large number of people that did the same, it's statistically speaking a pretty rare addiction that requires a LOT more money to sustain that Buddy ever had.

As a gateway addiction? Sure, lots of people start off with snorting powdered cocaine and move into injecting coke or smoking crack, or often, doing meth, it certainly fuels alcohol addiction, all sorts of life problems, but an actual addiction to snorting cocaine? Yeah, I don't believe it for a second. I absolutely believe Buddy was a hardcore alcoholic and probably snorted cocaine on occasion, but the way he says it, it's like almost wanting to brag as it is largely seen as a kind of glamorous and expensive form of the drug more associated with high functioning people and not fat barely employed deadbeat alcoholics. Snorting cocaine is just, a stupidly poor/expensive delivery mechanism if you are trying to be high on cocaine and not just using it socially in amounts that allow you to party, which is what Buddy keeps suggesting he was doing, and, again, very rare for people that are actually strongly addicted to cocaine.

Agreed. Buddy abused alcohol and possibly prescription meds like benzos. He was far too lethargic to be a cokehead.  He talks about using ‘blow’ to give him cool street cred.  

[S02.E19: Fight Or Flight]

I would NOT be walking around a middle eastern country with my boobs on display. Brittany is beyond stupid and lucky to have a camera crew around. She's really disrespectful of the culture. Yazan is completely pussified. 

I haven't looked for spoilers but I bet Ari is gonna bolt back to America with Mom and Dad. They are such a mis-match and to be honest, I could not live there without some kind of support.  If you're not able to communicate with your  partner, all is lost. 

Sumeat and Jennay are such an odd couple. Jenny maybe be older but she acts like a needy, whiny tween. Sumeat acts like an old geezer. 

Deaven seemed more relieved than sad about the miscarriage. Get some birth control, girl. 

Jihoon's Mom seems like fun. I like her.

Unibrow and Cheesedick --- yawn. 

Next week: Kenny cries some more. 

[S02.E18: Are You Done Yelling?]

Did anyone else catch Jihoon saying, "If I didn't love you, I would have worn a condom."  WTF? Didn’t  Deaven say she got knocked up because the condoms were too large for Wee J? I'm sure she said that in a previous episode.  DUM-DAH-DUM-DUM!  And isn't that the stupidest way to show one's love. I'm gonna meet a girl from the States that I only chatted to online through an translator app, but I love her so I'm going to bang her without protection.   Rocket Scientist potential!

"MAH BAY-BEH, IT'S MAH BAY-BEH!"  Nails on a chalkboard irritating. Ari needs professional help. Little kids get hurt. Wait until he's a toddler and falling over and bumping into walls. 

Brit's father has the same stupid ass grin. It's certifiably creepy. "So, is the Father going to kill Yazan, and then you?" Dad says, smiling broadly. “Be sure to send me a postcard.”

Cheesedick is really pink, like a newborn gerbil. Ever notice that? 

Melyza's eyebrows are traveling the off-ramp and heading to Unibrow Town.  Please, get some tweezers. Somebody...Anybody. I’m serious fixated on them, even more than Brittany’s sharpie brows, or Ari’s the ‘Grinch stole MAH BAY-BEH!’ brows.

Sumit and Jenny's love story is not the rom-com I wish to see. 

Guess what else happened?  Kenny cries.  

[S05.E21: Reunion Part 1]

It’s the Sandy show!  barf.  i think Sandy chooses favourites based on who kisses her ass the loudest. in this case, it was Malaria. 

I'm happy for Hannah. she’s going to have a family and can kiss all this bs goodbye.

Poor Kiko. They only focused on the Vegas dinner. How about that multiple course menu with extra last minute guests?  i doubt Tom could have pulled that off without having help or pitching  a fit. 

i cant wait for the dirt to be thrown on sleazebag Rob. He gives all men a bad name.

I can’t seem to copy the link but there’s an instagram account about Rob and how he takes women’s money then ghosts them.

below_rob_westergaard 

Someone came for him with receipts!

I was reading some of the posts. Why do people send money to people they don’t really know? That is a huge red flag. It would be simpler to hire a male escort. Or head to the bar and bring someone home for free. Read some bad poetry together and the bang. That's basically  what you get with Rob.  He isn't that special. Besides, if he can't pay his own way, then toodles. 

[S05.E20: A Mighty Wind]

Please explain what is so attractive about Rob? He's got the personality of a wet paper bag. He was creepy from the get go. He’s definitely got a dissociative personality. I'd laugh in his face if he pulled out the lines,  “You’re soulful” or “ You make me feel seen, I've never felt seen before” (gag)  You’d have to be a fairly naive person to fall for that. 

I see he is scammer too. What a loser.  He's named well tho. Robs women of their money and self worth. 

I do think Jess is beautiful but very needy and serious. I wouldn’t want to be around someone so self absorbed with her “partner” of 3 weeks. 

Bugs impressed me with her energy and positive attitude. She leads well. Hannah was more about being the boss whereas Bugs was about being a leader and teacher.

Sandy is just ugh. I was hopeful at first to see a female Captain, but Sandy rules with her ego and her emotions. Shes a very mixed up, damaged person who happens to have a position of power. In another industry, she'd be called out for harassment and inappropriate behavior with her staff. Can you imagine if Captain Lee told his staff that he loved them? Or demanded hugs from them? 

[S02.E15: Ready Or Not]

Brittany’s constant smile-smirk makes me angry. It is not funny what she is doing. She is playing games with Yazan. This all could have been avoided if she told the truth that she has no interest in converting to Islam and is still married. She could have done this before coming to Jordan. I feel bad for  Yazan. 

This  leads me to Ari. another smirker. she always looks like she’s smelling a fart. Ethopia isn’t America, honey. no doubt she hightailed it back home. she got a lot of emotional problems . Bini likes making babies but will never actually be part of parenting them the way he’s going.

Kenny and the tears..again. if communication is so important to him , why didn’t Ken take Spanish lessons beforehand and practice with Armando? its not like he didn’t have the time. also he needs to give the parents some time, he could impress them by simply learning more about the language and culture. 

I actually feel bad for Sumit's parents. they seem like nice people and the dad even admitted his mistake with the arranged marriage. I still don’t trust Sumit’s story 100%. but hey, enjoy trimming Jenny’s yellow toenails for the rest of your life. she’s healthy and may live a long long time. 😈

Honorable mention to Cheesedick. At least he can speak the language and is trying to get a job. 

 

[S05.E14: To Love And To Obey?]

I liked Libby's traditional Moldovan wedding gown. However, she had to make digs about it. At least Moldovan women know how to put lipstick on properly, Libby.  That family is snooty and tasteless. Andrreeeiiii fits in beautifully. I'm still  think he was adopted or dropped off by some defrosted cave people. . And I'm not sorry but Libby is not attractive. Maybe she has a nice body but she has a butter face. Also, Andrrreeiii is not fat. He sure likes showing off his body.  My theory is he'll trade in Libby in a couple of years. 

Assuelo behaviour is odd. He goes from supporting Kalani one minute and then telling her she's a fucking asshole the next. Their marriage will not work long term. He's too infantile and sexist.  The sister Tammy is a piece of work and if anyone should apologize it is her. She almost physically attacked Kalani in Washington. Family should not expect money. It's a nice gesture to help out but expect financial support is bothersome.  

I skipped through the Ericee and Larissa part.

Coltee barfing in the trash can was a real delight. Thanks TLC. The male friend was definitely hired on. I don't think Coltee has many male friends. They would be competition for Sir Gagahad. He strikes me as a guy who only likes to chat up females online and send pics of his  gherkin dick to the women of the world. Meanwhile, Debbie is in the other room with the catnip, a bottle of Schnapps getting lit and playing online poker. 

Michael and Angie finally got hitched She can no longer use the classic stomp off: "We're done. The Weddin' is Off!!!"  Perhaps she'll switch it to: "We're DONE! Gittin' divorced.  No Green card for y'all. MIKULL you're goin' back to Nigeria!!!!" 

[Darcey & Stacey]

I have to say that I enjoy Stacey a lot more than Darcey. However, she has as many issues with men as Darcey. I'd like to know more about their upbringing, and their relationship with their Father. Both women lack self-esteem and put up with abusive relationships. Stacey lets Florian berate, yell and demean her and then he buys some flowers and "strawberry" to make up. 

The sex stuff is cringeworthy.

Am I one of the very few who is NOT into Pillow Talk??  Sorry to say, these couples do not have the wit and banter that makes me want to become a viewer.  I need a Kate McKinnon, a Kathy Griffin, a Stephen Colbert, etc.  Yes, I KNOW my "dream team" is a wacko fantasy....but this is just to say that Pillow Talk is a kinda boring 'filler in these 'viral times.'  

Preach! Also, I cannot handle Molly and her friend constantly screeching. I love me a southern accent but Molly's is very abrasive.

[S02.E14: The Truth Hurts]

Jenny used Sumit's parents back in 2013 for a free vacation place to stay for 4 months (!!!) and love nest with their son.  Age may only be a number but let's ask Sumit this question again when Jenny is 70 or 75 and he is in his 40's. I don't buy the "true love" narrative.  I find when people repeat the same thing over and over but their actions say differently,  it's bullcrap. Sumit does not look or act like a man in love. Also, does Sumit's parents know their precious boy is a catfisher?

Melyza has the personality of a wet paper bag. She's also making Tim suffer hard. He needs to cut ties and go back home. If the trust is gone then the relationship will never work. 

Ari has this annoying habit of smiling at inappropriate times. She was telling Biniyam that she could leave at any time and it was all said with a little smile on her face. Maybe she is unaware of this habit but it makes her look certifiably insane. 

The best scene goes to Jihoon when he showed relief and happiness that Elicia was leaving. 

I started referring to Kenny as "Cryin' Ken"  That dude breaks down at the slightest thing. 

[S02.E13: Sticks And Stones]

Cheesedick will never ever be forgiven. Melyza is over him. I know the look of a woman who is done. She is done.

Yazan is still a virgin? Maybe that is the draw for Brittany as she enjoys dangling her forbidden fruits and make Yazan crazy with lust.  She looked quite delighted that Yazan family came upon her thong bikini picture. This is a game for her.
 

I’d rather squat in the bushes than go in that bathroom at the taco stand and I’ve been in some nasty bathrooms before. Kenny’s quite particular with food. Mexico gonna be quite the experience for him. I mean who doesn’t love the green stuff? 😂

Ari’s gonna go back to the States...guaranteed.She seems very fragile with her emotions. She obviously depends on her Mom a lot. Good god, I can’t imagine her raising a child. Bini will go back to playing ass bongos until the next American comes along with lust in her eyes.

I enjoyed the 100 day party for little cutie. Everyone was pinching his plump cheeks. He’s such a good baby. Deaven  even managed to crack a smile 😃 

 

[S05.E11: Public Displays Of Contention]

They might as well rename the show to 90 Day Assholes.

Jenn needs to be shot out of a cannon. Actually ALL of them except for Andreiiiiiiii family & friends can be spared such a fate.  I'd love to see her beret fly off as she does the flying squirrel stance. The lot of them are snobby jerks. High dining for them would be going to Applebees. I get next level irritated when I hear 'muricans going on about how awful *such and such* a country (food, culture, accomodations) is in comparison. Stay the fuck home then. We don't want you. 

Angie is a tyrant. I don't understand how she gets a pass time after time. I watched a bit of Pillow Talk (avoiding the Pao & Russ scenes) and they were making excuses for her actions. (It's menopause, blah blah) No. Angela is an out of control asshole. She is abusive to Michael and he just grovels and puts up with it. For what? A bit of tv time and possibly a life in the USA. Not worth it. His family seem really sweet and kind tho. Wish they'd talk him out of it. 

 Last week, I felt badly for Assuelo. That has gone away! Kalani needs to haul his ass out of there ASAP. He called her a fucking asshole AFTER she had a horrible interaction with his Mother and sister.  He's such an odd guy. He's extremely simple. I don't get what she ever saw in him in the first place  He can't even look after his own children. The sister had to watch them. Weird. 

There is no way that Ericee has 30K in savings. No farking way. Watching the segments with Larissa is a complete waste of time. Ericee tried to muster fake excitement that bigger boobs would make him happy. Also, I think psychological counselling is needed for extreme plastic surgery candidates. It's your personality that needs fixing, Larissa, not yer boobs or yer nose. 

Coltee and Debbie go out for an ice cream date for quality time. They live together but they need more quality time? Then the Lumbering Chunk of Bespectacled Confusion makes a condom joke whilst pulling off the paper wrapper off a straw in front of his Mother. Ok. Stay classy, Coltee. 

Tania and Syngin. Can't stand them. Don't wanna know them.

The only religious leader I have time for is the Dalai Lama.    I’ve seen him speak 3 times because whenever he visits Toronto, he does a secular talk at Rogers Centre.   On one visit, he stated that he was going to tell us all what the very best religion was.  You could feel the tension.  Then he said, “the best religion is the one that makes you a better person”.   And he added, “even if it is no religion”.

I saw him in Vancouver. He said something along the lines of..."I'm not here  to convert you to Buddhism, in fact, stick with the belief system that works for you."  He's an amazing presence with so much compassion and wisdom. 

[S02.E12: The Parent Trap]

Deavan's  sour attitude combined with the step-mom from hell would be enough for me, if I was Jihoon, I'd run into the streets myself. Follow the feral child and never look back. Escape the repressive state of Deavan. The kicker was Elicia threatening  to murder Jihoon over a mistake. Jihoon  has zero experience looking after kids, especially one who is unruly, plus he has a limited command of the English language.  Give the guy a break. He apologised profusely. He cried like his heart was breaking. Jihoon has faults but he's trying and those tears were those of a guy who has been completely broken. 

What was up with Ari? She seemed semi-catatonic during most of the episode. A combo of culture shock and pregnancy woes.  If this works out between them, i'll be really shocked. As a girl who likes her comforts, I'm not gonna lie, being heavily pregnant in Ethopia would be a rough time. 

Armando's face speaks volumes. Kenny is stunningly unaware how dangerous their life could be in Mexico. Last year was particularly bad in terms of violence against the LGBT+  community.

[S02.E11: Fight, Pray, Love]

Armando has plenty of reasons to want to take things slow, but I did ugly cry when he broke down during the proposal. Armando deserves a happy life because there’s so much sadness in that guy’s eyes. 😔  Kenny’s enthusiasm is good for him but I’m over his family. They all look like Instagram influencers.

I don’t believe the ‘covert to Islam’ discussion never came up beforehand. Brittany still hasn’t fessed up about still being married and that’s mega shitty to do that. Yazan completely and hopelessly in love with her. He’s like a puppy looking at a new chew toy. 

Cheesy’s  apology tour is pretty lame. The only person he needs to atone to is Melyza. The parents don’t need to know the details. My feeling is that Melyza is never gonna fully forgive him. She’s enjoying him squirm, cry and turn five shades of red.  Either forgive him or forget him. 
 

Deaven drains all the fun for the room, as does Elicia. I’m living for Jihoon’s Mom, who clearly gives zero fucks.  And that little demon spawn is a handful. I know Jihoon is a fuckup but I’m 100% more interested in him & his parents than the Goth family... oh yeah, the little baby friend is adorable and seems like a happy lil dude. 

[S05.E09: Burnt Bridges And Bitter Truths]

It seems that most of my time fast is spent forwarding thru this show. But for the moments I did watch this is my take:

 Ericee is VERY gay so every vagina is gross to him. Stop the madness with the straight hetero storyline. And Larissa... girl, if you spent 10k on your face, you need a refund. You're looking Michael Jackson levels of busted. 

Andreiiiiiiiii and Libby...oh lord, another extremely lame storyline.  It is the Hallmark Hall of Fame special meets white trash telenovela.

Coltee and his perpetually confused face need to go home. Take the TLC money and buy cat toys and an appointment for Debbie to get that mole sawed off her face. Nobody believes that Coltee is some hot lover that every hot bloodied Brazilian wants. Nobody, unless they're Jess or Larissa, who only want 15 minutes of reality tv fame, is going to go into a rage because some other woman has potential sampled his gherkin. Trust me, nobody wants a piece of that. Even Coltee's  speedo was ready to quit that bitch. 

If my Mother asked me, "Where's mah money?" after traveling across the country to see her, I'd be taking my meal to go, and heading on back down the road. it was rude of the family to gang up on him. I'm not a fan of Asuelu, but what they did to him was cold-blooded. You happily accept whatever offers of support that guy can give, not look to him as an ATM machine. 

I'm getting whiplash with Angela and Michael's neverending nuptials. It's been called off so many times. Again, it's completely laughable to think Angie can tote a baby. She's a smoker, obese, and past childbearing years, and with a strong history of cancer in her family. Only a quack would recommend her going through the hormonal cocktail to ready her ashtray uterus as a viable place for a baby to be 'totable.'

[S02.E07: I'm Not Your Baby]

 Ari did  work before she moved to Ethiopia.   She could contribute  to improve the housing situation. This is the modern age and all. Bini is trying hard but he's not a wealthy man & I don't think it is irrational to pitch in to help improve conditions. To start with, I'd be buying a toilet seat for sure and some cleaning products. 

Sumit won't change. Jenny doesn't get that. But she's determined to whine her way through India at this point until liar pants finds another elderly lady online to fool. I don't believe he's that eager to marry Jenny. He started this as a catfishing scheme but it ballooned into this. He is most likely enjoying the fame he is getting from the show. I don't trust him. He's never been honest and most liars continue to lie. 

Brittnay is lucky there is a film crew around to protect her. I would not put it past Yazan to use physical violence. The Mother seemed like she was ready to rumble. Maybe Brit sees this as a game and she can be the bold modern woman and get her way. That's not going to happen.  I did laugh when she told Yazan that maybe he better go marry his cousin.  *SNAP.* 

Jihoon, this isn't a video game. It isn't game over. It is pathetic that he folded so easily. Gotta have those naps, right? Run back home to Mommy and Daddy. 

Continue to love Kenny and Armando. They're so refreshingly normal, sweet and caring people. They are the love story we all want and need. 

[S05.E05: Drive Me Crazy Like A Roulette Wheel]

Paul is a dolt. He was buzzing on about "Get 5, save $5" This was the same broken economics that a hoarder uses. My Uncle was a hoarder.  He'd buy a dozen pies because it  was 'cheaper' Then they'd sit in the freezer for a decade. 

Asseulo...What a selfish man. He's so rude and insensitive to Kalani. I can't imagine having two young children and a husband who doesn't give a shit. I don't believe in violence but I wanted to slap his sullen face. 

Andrei is a jerk. Even if he's laying on the macho sexist bullshit for the show, it is nothing to proud about. 

I don't want to even imagine Jess and Coltee slapping nasties while Debbie sleeps in the other room. Ugh.

Why is Eric back? I thought he was gay.  His 15 minutes continues and I fast-foward through it. 

 

[S05.E04: She's A Wolf]

Assuelo is a sexist monotone manchild. Kalani could do wayyyyy better than him. Test drive a car first with all safety precautions before you marry and have kids with it. I hope the next expensive words she uses with him is: Bon Voyage back to Samoa.

Pole had dehydrated fries and god knows what else in that heap of junk. Maybe the bones of his last gf? 
 

 

[S02.E05: Wing And A Prayer]

Cheesestick? How about "Cheese-twit"I didn't like Cheesetwit from the start but the revelation that he cheated because he was lonely carried it home for me. Even his therapy cat doesn't deserve him.

Kenny, why do you and Armando make me cry each week? Stop it! But seriously. These guys are so likeable and seemingly normal Please, let this happen for once. We need a happy real love story for once. 

Does Deaven ever smile? It hard to smile after  a long flight with two little kids but she didn't even seem happy to see Jihoon. Like at all. Deaven's mom is rude. I always go to a new place with some background knowledge of it. Don't they google stuff, ya know, educate yer self? It's that self-entitled little bubble mentality that everywhere should be like home. That is the glory of travel. Travel can broaden the mind if you let it. However, Elicia doesn't seem open to new experiences. She's a nutjob. 

Yazan is scary. I don't understand how someone can go from 0 to rage that fast. Brittney said he never yelled at her before but that doesn't fit his actions. He very controlling. 

Ariela continues to bore me. Sorry. Her fiance is super cute though and he has mad skills. That backwards flip was impressive
