I have no doubt it was producer driven (or she really just wanted to look extra nice for filming.) Most companies (and industries) have cultures that dictate how people dress. I'm NOT saying everyone in her industry dresses in stained jeans and ratty t's but she seemed pretty overdressed for an industry where the vast majority of candidates would simply find dressing neatly and cleanly to be sufficient.

I'm not that hardcore but I get it, lol! Before I got my Keurig, I had a Mr. Coffee four cup (which, let's be real, actually makes two mugfuls, lol) since my husband does not drink coffee at all. I'd make a pot in the morning and sometimes another one later, and it was perfect for just me. Your story reminds me of my husband, who drinks Diet Pepsi all day - whenever we go over anyone else's house for whatever occasion, he brings his own soda because he knows no one will likely have enough! My husband sets up my coffee pot and I think you could stand the spoon in it. I figure my 4 cups of his brew is the equivalent of 8 regular cups of coffee.

Maybe the aunt was saying "Share the take or I'll tell her yes."😈

After thinking about that - does TLC really have a translator or are they just relying on Azan to tell them? He COULD have just said "She wants me to ask you if we can sleep together here, but I'm not asking that. Please just say no."

I know this is a soap and we're supposed to suspend belief but COME ON SHOW. You can't cuff a witness. If they are avoiding a subpoena, possibly, but the fact that he was there and they suspect he knows something is NOT grounds to arrest and/or cuff him. Just like Eli asking him yesterday what that phone call was about. Tripp had every right to say it was a personal, unrelated phone call and none of his business. Hope REALLY should have been fired a long time ago if this is how she runs an investigation. This! They are really going out of their way to make Ben look like a poor little innocent person. We really don't need to get hit on the head that hard. On another note, why have they been doing Kassie's make-up so red these last few days? Hope everything is OK with her.

Pao doesn't WANT to get along with Russ's family. She's using "culture" as a way to be the victim of his evil family. They don't accept her "culture" meaning they would like a little respect IN THEIR OWN HOME! (Wear a robe for god's sake, and at least TRY not to insult every person I invited to a party in your honor.) I agree with Nannybails that Russ's mother is probably jumping to conclusions based on limited information, but this seems to be evidence that she is trying so hard to understand and get along with Pao. For Pao to constantly portray her as an evil unaccepting witch is just cruel.

I'm going to cut him a break and say this is a legitimate question. She is offering contract work. It comes when it comes. He MIGHT get 1-2 thousand miles a week but, then again, he MIGHT NOT. There is no indication that this is his intention, BUT if he signed up with more than one agency, there is a chance he could be on a different job when they called him with an opportunity. Many companies that hire for contract positions will contact you with a job, but if you are not available, will keep you in their list of contacts for the next opening. You might not be their first choice but you will still be called. To ask if you must take every single route offered every single time in order to stay on the roster is NOT really that outrageous of a question.

They just seem more natural together. Sort of like two equals where one isn't constantly trying to "win" the other or "make up" for something. With Hope Rafe was always going to be unworthy in some way. I'm not a big Rafe fan but I'm really sick of no one ever being good enough for the holy Horton princess. Lani doesn't seem to have chemistry with either Eli or JJ but somehow seems less wooden with Rafe.

Cause they won't draw ANY attention dressed like that. Nope, uh, uh. This is worse than Abigail skulking around Salem in the big black hat after she came back from the "dead."

The problem is the wrong singers are usually trying to show they have "range" or some "emotional connection" and they end up screaming the song. This song in their hands becomes unhearable.

Because Azan supposedly used his ticket to fly to South Korea where he was denied entry. Nobody is buying that.

Hallelujah is NOT a Christian/God song. It has been misrepresented SO many times that people think it is, but it is not. That said, Maelyn did a truly effective version. Usually when people do that song on this show they end up screeching, the fact that she always pulled back and didn't take it over the top is a testament to her abilities. She also kept up perfectly with John on Unforgettable. She is definitely the best singer. Whether or not she wins is anybody's guess.

First off, I DON'T know the law in the DR but I think there was either producer manipulation or Pedro simply didn't tell Chantel everything. My husband has had his permanent green card for over 30 years. His mother became ill and he bought a one-way ticket to go see her - not knowing how long he would be needed there. (Jamaica - not the DR.) He was checking in at the airport and was told he could NOT leave the country without a return ticket. He ended up buying a fully refundable ticket that he then cashed in when he made arrangements to return. I don't believe AT ALL that Pedro was able to go to the DR for some unspecified amount of time. Either it was their storyline or he bought a round trip ticket but didn't tell Chantel. Maybe he wanted to make her nervous that he wasn't going to come back at all.

Janelle looks fabulous in that picture. I bet she's REALLY glad she can't wear Lulano.

Ty seems to be a VERY cliché designer. Country HAS to mean hay goats and chickens, right? But now I want someone to tell him that they want their room to be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! I would LOVE to see how he gets all those letters in there.

Maybe that's what she's doing - hence the blonde roots. She could just be growing it out rather than bleaching out all the dye.

Christine MUST be wearing Lulano in this picture. After losing all that weight - why would she want to look like she gained back 40lbs?

Really? Only 25 years? I thought they were married eons ago - weren't they on a perpetual cruise for something like 25 years before they even came back to Salem?

He was short of fabric. If he had put less fabric in the skirt he would have had more to layer on - making it darker. He miscalculated - but because he is so talented otherwise no one called him on it.

That was my first thought! Second one was - so now he's simply going to run with her for the rest of his life? They have no plan! It's not like after a while the statute of limitations runs out and she can stay.

I'll definitely give you this one. Hadn't even thought about the fact that "Audge" hawks some of the most un-environmentally friendly shit on the planet. It's one thing when your mother or "sisters" hawk it - you can't control what they do - but shouldn't your significant other share your values to some extent? You can't support that shit and the planet at the same time.

Many people don't have a teenage neighbor or the kid doesn't want to do it. Or possibly the kid knows how much it costs and will charge a lot more. Lawn service is expensive - pay it once or twice and you've pretty much bought a lawn mower.

I was using that as an EXTREME example of a person trying to explain every rudeness with "but it's my culture."

Yes, on the one hand it's sad that someone can't even go to a farmer's market without their photo being taken. BUT, Kody makes sure EVERYONE is aware of them wherever they go. Is there a worker in ANY profession who has interacted with Kody and NOT been told about his 4 WIVES!! (You may have missed this - KODY HAS 4 WIVES!!!!) You can't really blame the people of Flagstaff for thinking they are inviting the attention and are happy to get it (no such thing as bad publicity, right?)

EXACTLY THIS. To carry this to a REALLY extreme place - If a man came to this country and said that in his culture it is considered appropriate to beat his wife or daughter is either one disobeyed him we would not all shrug our shoulders and say - "Yeah...OK... Culture..." I have not read where anybody on this board said she should suck it up and move to Oklahoma. (If I missed it, sorry.) What we are saying is - when you visit someone it is on you to try to be polite and follow local customs unless they violate your moral beliefs (and I don't believe being late is a moral belief.) To be deliberately rude and cry "culture" is disingenuous at best downright disgusting at worst.
