The theory that the gods worshiped by ancient civilizations were actually extraterrestrials is not Mike's, it's a longstanding theory of some archaeologists and historians. There's a whole TV series about this theory, called Ancient Aliens that's been on for at least a decade. I'd be willing to wager that's where Mike got his beliefs. Plus, as with any unproved theory, there's ample evidence to support it, and also lots of evidence that refutes it. The bottom line is that there are, in fact, ancient hieroglyphs that depict what appears to be technology that had not been invented yet - flying vehicles and bubble-headed humanoid beings who appear to be in what we'd interpret as 'spacesuits.' These things DO exist and remain unexplained, which gives some credence to the theory. Conversely, the Shroud of Turin also exists and people point to it as "proof" of the origin of their beliefs. At the end of the day, one theory isn't really that much more hard to swallow than another, if I'm looking at through a lens of critical thinking.

Add it to the list of "Kinds of Intervention Needed In This Relationship."

Nooooooooooo!!! No more Angela. Enough is enough. (And it was enough last season. Why do the producers of this show hate us so much?)

Excellent point. And of those travel visas granted to Nigerians, how many were K1 visas? I can't imagine that it's become anything but nightmarish for people trying to bring fiances to the US from any of the derided-as-shithole countries. Case and point, Avery and Omar are never getting approved under the current rules and political climate.

I wish I could remember the comedian who said this (I want to say it's John Mulaney) so I could properly credit them, but it's the first thing I thought of when trashcAngela said "I'm a taxpayer, I DESERVE..." was this comedians line, "The INSTANT anyone says 'I'm a taxpayer...' the next thing they say is going to prove them to be a giant, self-entitled asshole." And so it came to pass when Ange said that she is entitled to get what she wants as a taxpayer, she proved herself to be the dirty sphincter we all knew she is. There is nothing in the reality TV world that I would relish more than trashcAngela getting screwed by her own numpty politics. Fingers crossed for maximum sadness for her. She's earned it.

To me, that alone is a GIANT sign of Mykull being shady. What could possibly be shadier than pretending to be in love with someone who you have no intention of staying with after you use them to accomplish an end that has nothing to do with being in love or being married? He has also been shady in his relationship with Angela. He's lied to her repeatedly. There is no honesty in their relationship. They may both be playing each other, but it's Angela who's going to end up paying in the end. That is, if Michael ever makes it onto American soil. It looks questionable based on the previews for next week.

Morsel the dickwit should never have expected Anna to abandon her sons (WTAF??) but come ON Anna! She's the one with the kids and she accepted that her kids were being kept secret. How was that ever going to work? She's not stupid, so what did she imagine was going to happen? This week I learned that I DO NOT CARE about Julianna & Michael's storyline when Max & Cece aren't around. I want trashcAngela to be hoisted on her own petard. The visa she wants Mykull to get is from one of them shithole countries. Big Ange should have grabbed a guy from Norway. Heh.. as if. Okay, Natalie is nutty. If she's got so much faith in her invisible sky daddy, she can let him impregnate her instead of AAM (Ancient Aliens Mike). Oy vey, Mike. Even if he is invested in a goofy theory, it's no goofier than the story SHE insists he believes instead.

Morsel is a dickwit who can just take his lying ass home to Turkey.

I will pay the editors to use The Sundays Here's Where the Story Ends in one of Syngin's shed scenes. Specifically, the part that goes, "It's that little souvenir of a terrible year that makes me wonder why. It's the memories in the shed that make me turn red, surprise, surprise, surprise." Because how prescient and apt. Plus, I lurve The Sundays & would love to get them thrown the royalties for using their music on the show.

Yeah, the producers of this show are just tired. They can't keep up with all these names, so they're just going to make it easier on themselves and only cast people named Mike, Michael, Mikey or Ann, Annie, Ana, Anna, or Anny. The producers are just all so very, very tired.

LOLOLOL! Syngerella.

Oh, how I wish Button could! Button was one of the family dogs we had, growing up. We're in our 50's now. But Button was a good sport and he would've happily donned a priest's collar to officiate your nuptials. Pay upfront in Snausages would have traditionally been required.

Woesy woesy woe woe...

Yeah, I guess I do see that. Although (and I'll probably get in trouble for this again) I really do see more of a certain someone else in Barney. Especially the weird, flat sweep of unnaturally yellow hair. Put some white circles under his eyes and he's a dead ringer.

I can see that I was inartful in my word choice, since this is a total misinterpretation of what I meant. What I should have written was, if Anna is being a good mom, she's making sure her kids aren't seeking out message boards like this one. It's clear that there's snark, some more malicious than others, and what I was trying to convey is that Anna would be remiss as a parent if she didn't monitor what her sons were getting up to online and protecting them from the harsh reality of internet banter.

A good mother isn't allowing her sons to look at online message boards, nor do I think for a nanosecond that any of Anna's sons are the slightest bit interested in reading what strangers think of their mom's relationship. Chances are, Anna's sons aren't on this website, reading every comment. And boys that age aren't nearly as prone to being traumatized by someone making a little joke about their looks as girls are. And that's IF they even know. Seems like a pretty safe bet that a non-malicious, meant-to-be-humorous crack like the one that was made isn't going to make it into their awareness. And even if it did, it's such a benign comment, I can't imagine anyone not taking it as it was intended and not chuckling.

I don't know, this isn't politics, where the kids have no choice about being involved. This is a low-rent reality show and it's clear that kids aren't required to participate (Ashley has 2 kids that we never saw a single time during her and Jay's season) so I don't think it's out of line to have a tiny bit of snarky fun with them. Frankly, what their mother is putting them through seems way worse, no?

Or Klan of the Cave Bee.

HAHAHAHA!! Producers: "Michael, you're a flake and a liar and probably running one of those email scams where you claim to be a Nigerian prince trying to give away his fortune, but nobody, NOBODY deserves to suffer the worst fate imaginable: marrying and trying to spawn with a lady who only has one, dusty, decrepit, if-it-was-a-building-it-would-be-condemned egg." That scene was the equivalent of Whoopie Goldberg saying, "Girl, you in trouble!"

I have zero doubt that those very circumstances, in addition to being relegated to Tania's pushy-ass mom's Chore Boy, will come up in future arguments with Tania. And rightfully so. She's just such a selfish nightmare.

Angela's twin sister, who didn't make it out of the womb, manifested as a hairy mole on the chin of its mother. The boil/mole/absorbed twin is still a better person than Angela.

Have you been to the Universal Life Church's website? Hoo-boy, there is not a shred of credibility to be found there. The ULC put out a book a few decades back called The Discordian Bible. One of the funniest books I've ever read. They will literally ordain anyone. To whit, after my pretentious sister got ordained through ULC and was acting like she was something special because of it, I got our long-haired miniature dachshund, Button ordained through them just to make a point. Yeah, my sister and I don't talk anymore. 😂

Tank is funny, but I howled when Loren on Pillowtalk called baby David a meatball. Perfect description.
