  1. Paul has been living in Brazil for awhile (at least over a year). Now there were rumors he had some sort of warrant and he didnt or could come back to the states (after the kidnapping his kid thing?). Nor sure if this is true. He said to John Yates there was some sort of legal issues but the worst would be a few days in jail and he was staying in Brazil for the low cost of living and money making. He showed us his apartment, which was American amenties in the city and how cheap it was (Lets says $250? something way cheaper then USA). He was making some videos that seems questionable (like maybe offensive to local culture, he was going out in the woods and dressing up with face paint and native clothes and filming things?). He also a younger women with him (some say it was his girlfriend? but she was like 19 or 20. I just kind of watched these interviews with Paul over the last year while making dinner or doing laundry so I wasnt paying close attention to all the details because Paul can get a little graphic with only fans type stuff. I think Paul should be on the poster for a new campign, just date local. Paul did not need to go to another country. He never learned the language, culture and did not have means to support someone. He should have just found a women that would accept him, in the KY area.
  2. This was hard to watch. I guess this shows how fake the show is. I knew about the fake house they filmed in, and many outings seemed scripted but I guess I always thought there was a shread of truth in June's addiction and the sister's bond. I always had a tiny bit of hope Alana would break out of the cycles of her family. That hope is gone. I also dont think I can watch the show anymore. I am very curious how the show will spin this or maybe not even mention it because the show is only on a few months out of the year. I guess they will focus on Alana graduating and college and not this arrest and foul trash talking. I know some of the reality TV I watch is faked or reinacted but some I am okay with. They taped escaping polygamy near me and I can tell you that is totally recreated for TV but I know the story behind it is real and the message needs to get out so I will watch. They also filmed 90 day fiance near me and I know some of the fighting is faked or exaggerated but I still watch because the couples admit to playing up the fight but get back together on the show. I just dont think I can watch Alana and family in a fake airbnb pretending to be a happy family with Pumpkin and the littles and Josh trying to put together a swing set and Alana "studying" for college in the basement knowing how far from reality. There are plenty of scripted family sitcoms I can go watch instead.
  3. I really hope Pumpkin or Aunt Dodo or someone will help guide Alana into starting college next year and letting go of Dralin. Somehow I worry that they will be on tiktok begging for money or saying he is still a good guy.
  4. I don't know the Nashville real estate market well, but it could be very hard to find 5 short term furnished apartment rentals that will allow filming and more then 2 pets. I know there are 0 in my city that would fit this list. Short term furnished can be used for people moving and waiting for a home, but they also are used for people who are needing serious medical care in a city or traveling medical professionals. Not everyone wants to come home to a dog barking in the apartment next door or in the apartment above them or a film crew blocking the hall or elevator or taking up the pool area for a night. Several relaity shows were filmed in my city and business at first welcomed the "free advertising" and let filming take place. A few years later almost all business say no after they see the circus and long hours and stress filming a short reality scene takes place. I actually feel bad for these producers trying to find places to film, they end up really pounding the pavement and then viewers say why are they filming at another coffee shop, park, or that same hotel (but it is likely the only place that allowed filming). As for Stacia, the sex toy line made her go from classy to trashy. I think she is just taking any business oppurtunity. If she is really as stable as she says financially and she wants to have a family, that should be her focus, time off from work and finding what she needs and wants in a partner and starting her family (only saying this since she is 38 and time is tiking). Jasmine's titles are not the big ones. She was not Miss Tennesse. It was another pageant like Miss Tennese national miss. I wondered if she got these titles to help boost her in the coaching/cheer business. The cheer and gymnastics business can be big bucks, but you need something to stand out. Like you were on a college cheer team that won some national title, or were at some Olympic gymnastic level. I would think maybe the beauty titles would attract the parents of little girls wanting cheer and pagaents. I just canr believe who much money can be made. My husband and I were looking at buying a house and the owner's wife had a cheer studio. She was a former college gymnast that locals knew. They were building a huge custom home because the cheer school had grown so much. These parents were spending $1k+ a month for the low packages, with outfits and trips, it got more expensive then any college in our state. Jasmine lives with her parents. It looked like a regular sized home and yard. I bet the dogs (except maybe her pet dog) do not live there. She breeds dogs so my guess is she has these dogs at another space (kind of like people who have a horse and pay to board it on someone's land). Im not a fan of dog breeding. Just trying to answer where the dogs could be. I think my big shock was Jasmine finding out that Arris last sexual partner was some Jasmine knew. I think it is game over for them now. I think Jasmine was trying hard to work with what she got, but this fact will be the end . She still might go through some motions but it is no on D-Day. I know some people can deal with knowing who their partner has been with before (It shocked me on Big brother when Taylor had been with Monte and there is YT clips of the act and then Joseph had no issues with it) but I think the majority of people cant handle their partner having just slept with a friend before them.
  5. I dont think filing bankrupcy would stop her from filing for the visa. It might help her, since don't they look at how much income you have. If your debts are wiped away you have more income. They do not look at your credit score. The income amount it so low, remember Paul was whinign he could not make 22k a year because he was a felon (that wa sthe amount heneeded to sponsor Karine). Nicole (Azan) amount was also 22k a year. Now maybe Danielle does not have the filing fees and lawyer costs right now? I know you can do it yourself cheaper. Danielle just does not seem like a do it yourself type. Im just waiting to see how long she stays in his country. If TLC had shown her selling her couch and shutting the door of an empty apartment I would believe maybe she is planning on staying. 2 suitcases for over a year, I don't think. How many people have we seen on the other way actually pack up everything? Jenny (Sumit) we saw he sell that car and sleep on a couch waiting to go, Paul took like 15 trunks or totes to Brazil (but he still had so much stuff with his mom).
  6. I hope we get a different storyline this time. It seemed like from the previews she just wants to live her life and might know he is using her and it is mutual? I have seen some documentaries on women (most from Europe) who go to Northern Africa and know the man is not in love with them, but they enjoy their holidays a few times a year and return home. I think it would be a refreshing change from the TLC same story of older America women finds young guy and believes he is going to marrry her and he does not care about her age and is really in love.
  7. Sadly Avery posted that Omar had 5 family members die in the earthquake. 3 were young children. I hope his family and all the families can find peace and healing.
  8. Debbie is 43 years older? I tried to find the ages and could not? Does this mean he is like 20 and she is 63? She does not look 70?
  9. My husband asked me if they said what Clint does for a job? Did I miss it? We heard about his 1,000 hobbies but did we hear his job? I looked up articles that introduce the couples and none list his job (and his wife's job is listed as well as the other particapants). I hope that Chris is not so wanting to be married he will take less then an ideal match. Chris and Nicole are the one couple I think has a chance or at least are 2 people that seem to want marriage and are committed to the process, but will it because he lets her get her way and does not want to disagree or even hear the word divorce. The other couple I have maybe a small hope for is Arris and Jasmine. I was pretty negative on Keith and Kristine when they were first on and I m glad I was proven wrong. Maybe just maybe Arris and Jasmine could be another Keith and Kristine. She seems committed to the process. He says he is over his California party days. He moved cross country and got some education and a new career. Maybe he does want to settle down and Maybe Jasmine will help him like Kristine did Keith. One thing that stood out on the afterparty, was even though Arris seemed like a player on the show, he did not seem to approve of Clint's bachelor party behavior and lack of committment to the show. Mack kind of laugh about it but Arris seemed to be be more mature and serious. I guess I need to have hope we might have 1 or 2 couples this season that work.
  10. This episode felt kind of weird in the edit. We saw the typical tell the family, then just one bride picking a dress and then right to the bachelor party and the starting one wedding. I heard there were like 23 episodes, and while I want to get to the weddings fast, Im surprised we missed the dress shopping for the other 4 women and the men picking their attire and the gift enchange before marriage parts. I always hope a season will produce good couples and try to forget the last season. How could they match two men that were in relationships and having sex until the day they were told they were picked? and another man having sex in the two week timeframe (maybe the night before, if you believe the after party talk). Did they learn nothing after DC Katie and Chris and the baby. is it that hard for people really wanting marriage to not have sex for 2 months while in the matching process?
  11. Thanks, Nashville. I was hoping for 1 couple that had strong faith in their bio. I guess I hope we find one solid couple a season which seems harder to do, and sometimes faith based couples work.
  12. Do these people watch the show? Most do not or seem to maybe have seen one season casually. There have been a few dire hard fan of the show and it shows (kind of like Big brother feed watchers vs just show). Krysten this season said she has watch ed the show for years with her family and it shows that she is trying her best with maybe not exactly what she wanted. Past cast that said they watched the show were Kristine, Jessica ,Stephanie and AJ (they both watched the show) Mindy, Ashley Greg, so it shows if people watch the show, they are more likely to at least try (not walk away when they are not attracted at least). I think the producers should make them watch the show before commiting, but I wonder if it would scare too many away. From reading stories of people recruited MAFS likes to give the success rate as those that say yes on D day and not the rate of people who break up a by reunion. I think MAFS wants recruits to not know the show and the poor success rate.
  13. I wonder if she came back to American if not for a visa requirement to be able to sponsor him to come over, maybe establish some sort of residency in the US (address, bank accounts) or even for medical care (not sure how medical care works in India for foreigners but Medicare I believe would only be emergency travel coverage on certain plans). As for the grandkids someone mentioned above, I wish they would have put a little about them in the show. We all know TLC is far from the learning channel these days. I watched Jenny's daughter's channel and her story of getting her kids via foster care was touching. Jenny's daughter and wife who were on the show, decided to take a sibling group (which are usually much harder to place all together) and one of the siblings was pregnant, so they were taking on a newborn and a teen mom and siblings all at once. I would not want the kids to be exposed to the TLC circus, but telling how important fostering kids and adoption could have been one of those, lets go out for coffee and talk segements. I think Jenny looks pretty good for 63. I doubt she has had the money for any major work and her health seems decent. I live in a retirement area and 63 can look a lot older. In fact I was at the eye doctor wating with my child. There were 3 older men waiting across from us, Mr Grouchy, Mr I just came from playing tennis, and Mr. Businessman. I would have thought mr grouchy was 20 years older then Mr tennis but they were within 2 years of each other. Amazing what a little grooming, a smile, and some vitamin D can do for you aging.
  14. The only clue is religious maybe? Larry said they got together young and it did not work out but they lived close to each other so the boys could go back and forth and see whatever parent they needed and to attend church. Not school, not sports but church so it must have been important. I also wonder if Larry who was a lifelong Mcdonalds employee until recently and also had his boys work their with him, if that also lit a fire under them. It might have made them see, if I dont go to college , military, get a skill, I will be at Mcdonalds when I am 40 like my dad?
  15. Larry finally posted 2 new videos on their channel. The first one was a 4 minute catch up on the last 6 months, is was kind of interesting to catch a quick glimpse of their day to day lives in small city TX. I am glad to see even though he could not work with his son, they still seem to have a good relationship and he loves his grandkids. The next video I teared up. Jenny and Larry finally get a home, they have dreamed of a home, and I think most fans would be happy to see Jenny out of the 5 wheel. The home was barely mentioned in the video. The day they got the home, Larry's 16 year old dog died. I will admit I am not a dog person. Larry's videos are simple but Ill admit could kind of feel what he felt, with the last 48 hours of the dog's life. Then he tells us he got a home and we see him digging the grave. I am glad the have a small, home, a fixer but it is a home they owned. My guess is his son helped him find a deal. Jenny also got her first car. They had been sharing a beater old car since she got here. This will show you how crazy the real estate market is. If you have followed Jenny and Larry, He bought a piece of land in FL when they married, that was right by the train tracks and was thick and overgrown and he spent over a year and could not get it buildable. Plus it was right by the train like wave to your train out your window, closer then honey boo boo was. He made a decent profit selling it,the market is up, enough to buy a home, used car and some land in TX.
