  1. I haven't posted during the last few episodes because all the fake drama is ridiculous.  It's like they find some of the most inane and impervious people on the planet to put on this show now.  Each season just gets more incredible.  I seriously hate stupid people, and, this show is all about bombarding the audience with repeated and relentless stupidity.

    My vent.

    A question for those who are familiar with Moroccan cuisine: Did anyone recognize the dishes that were served during Nicole and Azan's tasting at the wedding venue? I'm especially interested in the rice with the sauce. 

    That wasn't rice; it was couscous.  The sauce is called amlou.  It's made with argan oil, almonds and honey.  ETA: I'd need to review the recording to remind myself of the rest of the food.

  3. If Azan really wanted to marry Nicole (the consensus is that he did not), there was no mandate that it cost $6,000 to do it.  Get the paperwork in order, permission from a judge, then, take the papers to the adoul who collects the mahr, explains the nikah contract, then, registers the marriage with the state.  Bam!  They're married.  It ain't that hard.  She didn't do her homework and he straight up lied to her about what was involved.

    If (and that’s a big IF) a beauty shop was opened by Azan it is my total thought that it was purchased for his sister Wafa. Since they wear elaborate head coverings it even surprises me that there’s even a need for such a shop in a Muslim country. 

    Morocco is Muslim, but, it is also pretty liberal.  Beauty shops and spas abound and many women don't cover their hair and dress in western style.  I don't cover my hair except at prayer and love getting the full treatment at spas around the country, when I'm there.

    When the women are in the company of other women (no men at all) it is my understanding that they don’t have to wear the head coverings. They also can wear fashionable clothes under their burkas. They might like makeup and do it for each other as a fun thing. It’s just something that is never seen in public. Ha, I strongly dislike having to “put on a face” and have no talent for hair or makeup so I don’t get why they’d even want to do it since they don’t have to. 

    That sounds more like the Gulf than North Africa where the colonist past left a heavy western influence.  Morocco is a popular European playground, too.  You can find pork dishes and drink alcohol, if you want.  However, women in hijab often wear makeup in public.  Frequency depends on location, but, wearing makeup with hijab is not uncommon at all.

    Robalee needs to smack Shaun Robinson.  She called her Robalee and Bobalee! Such messy editing TLC. Come on. 

    Was the 5 dresses for a Moroccan wedding accurate??  

    Yea, weddings go on for at least 3 days and they change dresses a lot.

    This was what you would call a long con. Two plus years? This dumbo fell for one of the oldest cons/scams: the pigeon drop. His $500 was a good faith effort in a bid to buy her confidence in this business, and she fell for the okie doke. Now, he's going to ghost her and vanish.

    I'm not convinced that he put in $500.

    Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Sandusky... Danielle feels cursed by Mohamed... she can't figure out why some guy half her age with a gym bod doesn't want to be with her. It must be the curse of Mohamed, right?

    There is that saying that definitely applies to Danielle, "Wherever you go, there you are."  

    I wonder what kind of advice she's offering to Nicole now.

  8. My Moroccan husband is flabbergasted and I don't know what to say.  Azan has been conning Nicole all this time; that was plain to see.  But, that she is unable to see, after all this time, what is so obvious to everyone is rather shocking, in my experience.  Maybe after she's seen the entire show, she will finally get it.

    Azan went right back to his lies about the “ kissing “ tapes. First it was a random drunk call with his friends, then  he knew the woman, and now back to drunk random dialing. 

    Good.  I'm not the only one who noticed that.

    My first husband was a Muslim. I wonder if she’s aware that a Muslim can have up to four wives. The cultural differences broke up our marriage and both of us were highly educated. So this fiasco, if it ever happens, should last about a minute.

    Multiple wives are rare in Morocco.  Besides, Islam endorses the practice only as a type of welfare and protection for widows, not a right for men.  The forgotten (and inconvenient) caveat to the practice is the Quran actually advises against it, because no man can be fair.  Azan is looking for foreign women because he can't afford a proper Moroccan wife.

    She DOES have the Barbie boobs, too! But my Barbie had much better posture. 

    Those things are heavy!  She's just not used to them yet.

    I fail to understand why women want breasts that big so much that they pay to get them.  I had big boobs and paid to have them reduced.  Best thing I ever did for myself.

    I think he was 28 when he was arrested in Arizona in February. The alleged baby momma made a comment about wanting to let Jorge have a life because he was only 17, or something to that effect. If the daughter is past her 10th birthday now, that would fit.

    Yes, you're right.  My bad.

    Me thinks he was under age and she could have gotten into serious trouble if she fingered him as the father. As the saying goes 17 will get you 20.

    Jorge is 26 now, so, if the child is nearly 10, he would have been 15 or 16 when she was conceived.
