Grifter Lives

Meth Ice, the ex, got to Guillermo at the high school reunion. The boy is complaining about Kara's being in control. They need to discuss the open bar/liquor budget for the wedding reception. Kara's going to drink everyone under the table.

Guillermo's shirt is color-coordinated. They're no match for the South Dakota Cowboy and Yoko Miona, however.

He doesn't even let her speak. He interrupts her with fake, mocking accusations. I hate him.

Love is being nervous every time the door opens.

Here, too, "fun" is something that will humiliate Shaeda and something that she doesn't want to do. I hate him.

Every week, Mohammed gives the ultimatum that he's going to go back to Egypt. I wish that he meant it and would just go.

He needed to be tucked in, because his mother did that in Egypt.

That was Yara & Jovi.

Kara can save money by making her own balloon altar.

Guillermo deserves a big, dream wedding, too, apparently. Otherwise, he is an old soul.

Patrick's gig as a door-to-door security alarm salesman would foil Thais' cell phone tracking. He has the built-in excuse, "I was on a sales call!"

Patrick: "Why the hell would I get you a cat?" Audience: Because you got her a dog for the first house.

She can only overcome genetics so much - although I'm not defending her. Her father is a douchebag.

Emily's mother: Your relationship is your business, but I will still hover around and judge everything Kobe says, does or thinks. And he'll be wrong.

Daveeed is a Serbian immigrant himself. He had to have been around Miona many times before this, since he and Jabroni traveled to toured Serbia together. Maybe he thinks that Miona is just some Serbian knock-around girl or gold digger (although Jabroni has no gold), and that's why he has a somewhat visceral reaction to her.

Maybe he's like KISS, who would never be seen or photographed without their make-up. Ace Frehley was his favorite.

Space Ca$h breaks up the fight without putting down the guitar.

Bile's entire family communicates through t-shirts. B Grateful.

If she's a model, it's because of her body. But, she's going to get fat pretty quickly, if their date nights and diet always include macaroni & cheese and spinach & artichoke dip, and beer.

Emily's chat with her parents showed how ignorant they all are. Emily and Kobe should have approached her parents together, but that strategy wouldn't have maintained or widened the divide between Kobe and Emily's family. It's Kobe's wedding, too, and they apparently feel that he's solely responsible for every concern that they have. He should have had the opportunity to participate, provide input and explain himself. Kobe's been living in their small house with them for a month already, and he had been Facetiming Emily a year and a half before that. The mother is hovering over him in every scene, and he hasn't gone anywhere, since he can't drive and has nowhere to go. He's been under a microscope. But, her parents complain that they hardly know him. The mother actually says, "I've only known him for 30 days." Despite that Emily lived with Kobe in China, Baby Kovid is 17 months old, and Emily's applied for a fiance visa (which the parents probably sponsored), the mother acts like Emily and Kobe just met and are in the earliest stages of the relationship. The mother believes that the relationship should be all rainbow and unicorns. (Is that even possible with her daughter?) Moreover, if it is not surprising that Emily asked for financial support, why didn't they address their concerns earlier? If Emily has never had to pay a utility bill or support a family, she should have all her nanny earnings saved. I hate that the father said that they'll provide or ensure for Emily and Baby Kovid, purposely excluding, yet again, Kobe. That makes them the worst family this season. All the other families accepted the fiances to some extent. Emily insisted that she has Kobe handled, and she knows how to handle the relationship. The parents should have cut her off right there and said, "Great. Keep going! Figure out the finances yourself."

Meri may be taking her own advice: Look at the mountain!

Has she lost any weight? She looks like she's gained weight in many recent photos. Meanwhile, Noom bills its psychology-based approach. Janelle's praising Maddie for introducing her to Plexus, which led to a whole new mindset for success. Maddie's promoting Noom seems to suggest that Plexus failed her both on weight loss, healthy eating and mindset. What a surprise. At least Noom isn't an MLM. However, there is an open class action settlement regarding its subscription auto-renewal.

Very interesting. When Thais complained that the Dallas house was small, he told her that it was bigger than the Austin house, but she didn't realize it, because it was two-story. And, I thought that he referred to the Dallas house as the "million-dollar house," not the Austin house. So, he is confused or lied. Of course, the house we see is probably rented for filming and for security or privacy reasons.

Maybe she left him in the park, covering for her on the work conference call.

OK. I'm waiting for this season's treating Orthodoxy as a freakshow. Miona and Jabroni are the most likely candidates. They're both Serbian Orthodox. (He converted, with David as the godfather.) They have to be married in the church. Maybe they're saving it for Happily Ever After, like Andrrrrei and Elizabeth. Also, they pretend that they couldn't pull off a city hall wedding within the 90 days.
