Grifter Lives

I was writing very similar sentiments. I don't pay attention to this show when I watch it, but after every episode, I ask myself why Karen would parade her horrible, ignorant family in front of the cameras every week. They become more stupider (her word) and rude each week. Angenette and Royal had been married for a while before they had their wedding ceremony in the Philippines. Yet, the family acted like Angenette just appeared on the scene, fresh from her Facebook trolling marathons for a desperate American. The series ends with her declaring that she will remain distant, but cordial, with her husband's family, especially Chantal, whom she doesn't trust. Chantel may be so dumb that she hadn't figured that out already, but Angenette is just as dumb and catty. And she cries that she is the victim all the time. River has just become more of a openly angry incel. Yet, he always interjects himself in discussions about his siblings' relationships. And the father is completely whipped, but acts like he's the elder statesman of the ideal American family. Many of Karen's statements were truly passive-aggressive, including her the traditional garb ("Angenette wouldn't tell us.") and the comparison of Royal and Angenette's marriage to Pedro and Chantal's. They're so horrible that they had to invite themselves to Royal's wedding, when they don't approve of the bride. Finally, I don't understand why Karen tries to portray her family as the Rockefellers. On a recent episode, they said that Chantal would be the first to graduate from college. River's not making it as a 23-year rap star; Pedro works in a warehouse. Their house isn't a mansion or even a McMansion. Yet, I don't put it past Karen to be searching for a foreign bride for River - just to try for another season.

I believe @Kohola3 - Mariah's driving around, tossing (throwing) bags at shabby-looking people. That's how she's channeling her anger. I want to believe that she is also coordinating with the Parowan Prophet, her neighbor across the street, because he has the established charitable giving infrastructure. I also agree with the many others who noted that Mariah's act of kindness will not last for more than a moment, if it happens at all. Her goals were virtue signaling, and, of course, grifting. I'll look to see if they're wearing gloves while making the rice krispy treats or selling blankets and Spirographs off a tarp in Meri's next video.

Kody may have the seat with the best view of his daughter's birth canal, just like Robyn's father. Kody, will, after all, upstage Avalon at the child's own birth.

Showering could have been the first step.

Season Finale tonight

90DF imported the not-seen-in-real-life, unattractive, exaggerated cat-eye eyeliner.

Julia could not descend the elevator with all that luggage. Somehow she ran away from it, but it rolled right next to her during the kiss.

The mother be really excited about that gynecologist appointment.

I'm here for a few moments, because the show is so much more fun with the live chat. But I have, priorities: Steelers play at 8:20 p.m..

It was interesting that Natalie's mother asked her about getting married, as if Natalie hadn't been married before.

You forget: She has "fillings." They're rill.

Yes - That's who I meant. But, there was also Jennifferrrr with Teem, and possibly a Jen somewhere in one of the first seasons.

I'm with you, and I am confident that we won't miss anything. If so, we'll read it here. (Thank you, Primetimers, for allowing me to be a freerider) TLC is promoting tell-alls with Shaun Robertson, which we already know are tell-nothings. And, their advertisements include Russ & Pao, Libby & Andrrrei, and other oversaturated famewhores. They've already dilluted the brand so much that they present Skyla, Emma, Jen, and River as cast.

These are from @90daythemelanatedway on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CIkPWHQjtLG/ The 2nd & 3rd show Angela's weight loss and her cake bribe, but any weight loss isn't really visible in the 1st photo. Also, if that's JoJo in the 1st photo, she looks taller than she did on the show. (I apologize if I'm not allowed to repost photos. I prefer to read the comments without detouring to links.)

(Not Jon Bon) Jovi and Yara: Bon Ton Roulet Jovi and Yara: Bored on the Bayou Jovi and Yara: Cajun and Ragin'

Also, Aspyn's husband, Mitch, is a carpenter professionally. They're all interchangeable to me, too, and, like their father, I don't care. However, I wish them well and hope that they continue to run away as far and fast as they can.

There's not a subforum for 90-Day Fiance OG yet. Can the moderators or a member create one? Otherwise, in a few episodes, these topics are going to be all over the site.

You understood correctly. Mike's friend from WA married Natalie's friend from Ukraine. The couple had a baby and asked both Mike and Natalie to be the godparents. That's how they met - but it was in their backstory. The baptism was never shown, nor are the friends, whom I believe live near Mike. I was annoyed that Mike's obligatory confessional was to his hairstylist, rather than his friends who know both him and Natalie well. Also in their backstory is Mike's fretting and asking Natalie if she's sure that she will like living in Sequim, since she's such a glamorous, big-city gal. I don't recall her being concerned, and when he visited her in Kiev, they did nothing cosmopolitan. (He went to the embassy and day-drinking. She took him to a small church, not the cathedral.) She was more concerned that he was $30,000 in debt, which was preventing him from wanting to start a family. Once her visa got approved, it seems that all the issues magically disappeared, at least temporarily. I suspect she'll have at least one breakdown over each of these issues throughout the season.

Meri's post is the raw material for a MahammitFraudedMe masterpiece. She declares twice that she loves him, but she never says that the love is mutual or reciprocal. "I don't owe anyone an explanation," is her response to people's asking, "Why are you with him? He doesn't love you." She then doubles down with, "I'm here. . . I'm not going anywhere. Don't get your hopes up on that." But she must also declare loudly that she is an independent Strong Woman Sister Wife, because she has to convince herself. Instead, she sounds like she is saying that she's not going to be traveling a lot anymore. She knows that nobody comes to see her in Parowan, so she has to go to them.

I don't understand their scheduling/plan - unless it's cost economies. Why not have non-marathon seasons of fewer couples, instead of a million couples who aren't on every week?

Brandon's running form is as un-athletic as Pole's.

I dislike her more than I dislike him, just from her reaction to the flowers and complaint about how tired she is. Like she's so cute.

Jovi, the ladies' man, has never bought flowers before and declares Yara high-maintenance. All in the same one-minute scene.

The parents, too!
