Grifter Lives

Is this a recap, or have Andrei & Elizabeth been telling each other to shut up for 30 minutes?

Syngin's eyes are completely bleary.

Where is Angela's friend JoJo? To do a favor for Angela, she gets to travel alone, make her own hotel reservations, and find her way around Nigeria by herself, etc.. I doubt the for-hire ex pat friends will be the greeting committee or wedding guests. But, then, there are the Goofballs.

I hate to say - and her mother is literally on her deathbed.

Angela's sunglasses are from The House of 11.

How will his Size 15-1/2 shoes fit Michael? Didn't she buy him a red suit?

Suddenly Larissa has educational and career ambitions? All she's been complaining about is that she wants a man to take care of her, and she's spent all her time and money on bad cosmetic procedures.

I wonder if Libby's fried chicken, hamburger request is the Coven's or Chuck's passive-aggressive obstruction/jingoism, because Chuck has to pay. The Moldovan wedding can't be better than the American wedding, especially if the full witches circle can't be there. Libby said she loves Moldovan food, yet she couldn't possibly think of any dish that would please her family's sophisticated palates.

I bet you that a casino in a strip mall would more likely have fried chicken on its menu than a full-time catering hall.

That's how I handle this show.

Colt was probably older than Jess when his father died of a heart attack. It was a totally manipulative reply to being called a baby man.

Below her sponsored post, Janelle writes, "I am very happy I started working towards completing my basic Ayurveda Health Counselor certification." That's a year after taking classes. She tells her followers to expect to spend 12 hours a week (624 hours per year), and rhe basic coaching certification class is 500 hours. She would need to speed up to sloth pace! Wasn't she supposed to be a some type of certified nutrition coach with Strive? That says everything about Strive, and this, and every Janelle business and her touted business acumen.

Oliver has some 'splaining to do about his sister-father.

Asuelo has cried this week and last week that he's not the man of the house, because they live with Kalani's parents, who won't let him. But, he does nothing to improve his status - like get a job and support his wife and children, or even stand up for himself or his family. Like everyone else, I still don't understand why they made a 5-hour drive to an AirBnB when the parents still seem to own their home there, and the sister still lives there. It seems that Lo had returned to California before the car ride from hell, and the brother disappeared somewhere in Utah this season. (After he set up the condoms-are-for-slut-people quote, his work was done.) Asuelo's circle of Samoan volleyball friends in Utah seemed more engaged than the background family members at that birthday party, who may not have met Kennedy yet. They could have had a better birthday party at Chuck E Cheese or just about anywhere else, including their parents' home or the park in Utah. Kalani talked about the strong women in her family who would not tolerate Asuelo's disrespect - either in this episode or last week's - but none of them really show it. In the car, Mother Kalani's first response to Asuelo's insult was, "I dare you to say that in front of my husband," and Kalani spent the ride moaning about how difficult her own life was. All of them live in fear of Lo and wait for him to act.

Annie shouldn't have been commenting on the trailer or shack, since David Poor could only afford to squat in an unzoned firehouse and a storage locker manager's office.

Nobody needed each guy on Pillow Talk interpreting tampons. The producers pick the scenes the participants review. They didn't need to choose that one. Nobody was funny, insightful or original.

Sunhe's cancer scare is supposed to make her appear more vulnerable. But, she still looks like a self-centered jerk. Rather than address her relationship with the boyfriend, they (she) decide to focus on her health. He's the one who raised the concern! And, as she's crying about dying and leaving Maxi Sunhe, she never once lets go of her hate of Jason. But she frets that her daughter will be alone. Her mothering was not fully successful if Maxi Sunhe is struggling to stay strong, beyond that it was the daughter's misplaced first concern. (Thanks to the poster who dubbed Angelica "Maxi Sunhe." That is the best and all I see now!)

Loren tries way too hard. I didn't miss her.

Disgusting! Colt cock-blocked himself for Debbie.

For when they're living on Pole's mother's porch, after they're evicted from the trailer.

Could they find a studio or 1BR apartment for $500 in their area? Or maybe a househare?

Wouldn't he have gone to one, or maybe seen one, in all his time in Brazil? Remember: He loaded up the refrigerator and got angry when her family ate the food in an earlier season. Pole is an idiot.

Eric is Larissa's Mystery Date? Nobody believed it the first time around.

Every argument: Pole - I will get a divorce. Karine - I'm going back to Brazil.

Syngin and Tania have been at that restaurant, having the same meal, forever! In the interim, we've been to Moldova, Kentucky, and flown to Nigeria. That's why Syngin drinks.
