Grifter Lives

The 2nd mean drunk of the night with the obligatory nasty, judgmental friend

I was distracted by how gross Bilal is. Didn't the ex-wife seem nonchalant in meeting the woman who is going to be significant in the children's lives? "Nice to meet you. How was the flight? Gotta go."

You're nicer than I am. She could run him over.

The plumber should interrupt and explain that he has no interest or sexual desire toward Yve. Meanwhile, he's probably just wishing that he could escape down the drain from this ridiculous argument.

Mohammed has lasted a few days without a bidet.

He's wearing his uniform - Vivint. "Buy the security system, or a mean drunk will break into your house." Also, he's probably in between the early-morning steroid users and the after-work steroid users.

You know, I really needed to know when these two had sex and how good it was, since they didn't manage it in the Tesla. Thank you, TLC

Over the age of 30 . . .

She's in WaWa territory.

I'll admit: I'm impressed that Janice thought to the level of detail to furnish a coffee-maker, unless it was from Dr. Fred's closed-down office. It did look like a big machine.

I'm gagging that Keurig is "coffee, American Style." It's disgusting.

Not true! The twist will be that JibJab and Miona will look at luxury apartments that they can't afford, but she'll insist upon - just like Coltee and Larissa. Oh, nevermind.

If she has to wash that top after two weeks of being in the US, Miona probably has already worn it. And, since she hasn't been out and about, as she just reported, Mama Jibroni has probably seen it on her. This scene is so contrived.

"We want her to be comfortable here. So, I will teach her how to do laundry. In Serbia, they're still pounding clothing against rocks after washing them in the river."

Shaeda is a devout Muslim - specifically, what Bile was looking for. He is not taking her to Jummah, like he says. They're going together in practicing their faith. I'm not saying my thought clearly, but he is relaying his control over her. He's a flaccid, pathetic loser. I hate him.

Bile is so caz, stretching on his Bob's Discount or Value City couch.

I have taken the life lessons of your t-shirts, and I am B-ing Grateful for your snark. Please keep your hands on the wheel, since you're not driving Teslas, and don't throw me out of the chat!

Also, Ari and Avi lived with Janice & Fred for at least a month, awaiting Avi's hernia operation. And, Aris was threatening Bini that she and Avi could never return to Ethiopia. Did Janice and Ari just plot Ari and Avi's living in her childhood bedroom? Did they honestly think that Ari, Bini and Avi would permanently live in Kenya - even after Ari started the US visa process? They had to anticipate Ari and family's move to the US, especially since Janice always encouraged it. Those two could have gone apartment hunting during Ari's frequent Starbucks runs during the hernia operation era. Janice's $2000 apartment rental budget sounds about equal to the total monthly cost she absorbed for Ari's African lifestyle. Ari was foolish or selfish to whine about the cable/internet service, unless she planned to cut Bini off from his sisters completely. Moreover, she was supposedly a freelance writer. I assumed that meant that she wrote about herself or her full-time job of repairing her relationship with Bini on a Wordpress blog.

It looks like Shaeda failed several tests in the kitchen of Bile's "modern, spacious home," as she had to let us know. (It did take them 2 minutes to get from the front door to the kitchen.) Or, maybe she was just pranking him with his OCD: She moved the fruit bowl, which included just a pineapple & a coconut, but not the grapes that they were eating. She didn't reset the microwave clock. It was showing 59 seconds of cook time remaining. They must have stood in the kitchen for 5 minutes, staring at each other, after the group hug, according to the oven and big-digit clocks. The refrigerator was full of styrofoam take-out containers. The one overhead cabinet she opened was full of pill bottles. In case we forgot to hate Bile for one moment, he decorated with a big, Hobby Lobby "Man Cave" sign, carrying the word art theme through from the cutting boards and a few other kitchen items.

Also, since they hate Ari so much, they should be happy that she'll be half the world away from them, with no chance of ever seeing her again.

Ari said that he is a serial confrontation-avoider, or something to that effect. That's how she gets to be a shrill harpie.

Baby Girl Kimbaahly funded it.

Since Bilal still disgusts me: His small-scale McMansion is supposed to be so high-end and spacious, but he gives Shaeda the basement with the cheapest-grade beige carpeting for her yoga studio. Where's the guest house? the den? I hate him.

"In the long run, he'll appreciate the one night that we had together." This is depressing and ominous on so many levels.

And the test will be that she must rinse in a sink without a faucet.
