    I don't know how Tinsley actually feels, but I meant she projected happiness and security at the end of her run when Dorinda really tore into her. Dorinda was absolutely enraged that TInsley could walk away from the show and start a life with Scott. She couldn't even LOOK at her when the news broke over dinner. Tinsley isn't my favorite person or anything, but I still think Dorinda was jealous of her. She takes a lot of shit for being whiny, but I'd take that any day over Dorinda's drunken, slurring, food-spitting, crying and snotting over everyone. 

    Oh there is no question she was jealous of her.  I didn't meant to suggest she wasn't.  I think Dorinda didn't like that this younger, thin blonde is loved by so many.

    Yes it was more this could answer so many questions and  the possibility of why she is reacting and acting the way she is when she gets soo drunk ... Its literately nothing new her parents went through the same thing with her and had to cut her off because of the drinking problem for years ..Leah has stated this herself on this show but tried to blame her parents for "not UNDERSTANDING" and brushed off any responsibility for her own actions ... I mean look at her moms face when they were at that lunch and she was giddy telling them she was doing cartwheels and things drunk at dinner ... her mom just had that sad look on her face like here we go again....

    Right.  I mean, Ramona knows that Leah broke sobriety.  She knows that her mom is very concerned about her breaking sobriety and she knows that Leah wants her mother's approval despite drinking.  I'm sure she's wondering if this show is the cause of her breaking sobriety.  It may be more of a motherly thing with Leah.

    I don't get it - a day at the spa and the guests are getting hair color and highlights that can't be kept up? Or makeup they cannot afford?

    Pampering would be a hot tub and a massage, imo. And a nice lunch.

    I totally agree.  It would've been better for them to go shopping for clothing for interviews.  And then give them a haircut that is low maintenance.

    Dorinda is an absolute monster to TInsley because Tinsley is happy and secure, and it EATS Dorinda UP. Leah is kinda pitiful and has nothing Dorinda wants.

    Similarly, Ramona gives Sonja got a pass at the party because she's broke and sloppy. Leah is younger and beautiful. Sonja could have stripped don to nothing in front of those 50 closest friends and Ramona would've laughed it off as long as Sonja looked bad doing it. BTW, it is disgusting that Sonja subjected the staff to that. They really see the hired help as beneath them. She wouldn't roll around the bed drunk and naked for a celebrity stylist...this lady clearly didn't matter.  

    Secure as in her wealth?  Happy?  I don't think Tinsley was ever really happy...without a man.  That's why she held onto Scott for longer than she should've.  I hope she's very happy now that they seemed to be making this permanent.  I also think Tins is someone who is insecure but appears not to be because she's been blonde, skinny and gotten attention all of her life.  I think she didn't like Tins because Tins never seemed secure enough to put Dorinda in her place and has a whiny little girl quality when she tries to fight back.

    I think Dorinda likes Leah because she feels like she's her mini-me.  You know, she gets drunk, acts crazy, speaks up for herself.  She even said in a talking head that Leah reminds her of herself.

    I want to know why Ramona didn’t get equally as mad with the other three. Friends or not, they all misbehaved badly.

    I think it's because she's had a long term relationship with Dorinda and Sonja.  She doesn't with Leah.  It may not be fair, but I think that's pretty normal.

  6. Why do I feel like Olivia just lost a lot of weight and that those 4 years where she didn't date, she was a lot bigger.  The way she started that conversation about not being in New Orleans long, I thought for sure she was going to say she moved under a year ago.  Four years is a lot of time -- you didn't just move there, you've been there almost a half a decade.

  7. I'm actually really glad that Bennett and Ameila are happy!  They were really cute.

    Karen's mom is beautiful.  

    OMG, Trishelle from RW?  She looks, well, terrible. 

    Christina has a manmish face.  Henry reminds me of that super dorky kid in school no one wanted to date and that he got cute in his 20s.

    I actually enjoyed the scene of Libby’s father and brother in the car as they left the airport asking questions.  I can’t believe Libby hasn’t inquired more into why A left his homeland.  
    Michael stating that her money iYes his money was a sore point with me.  Uh, no, her money is her money.  That said, Ang says she is “done” way too often and then in the next scene Michael is leading her around again.  I can’t keep up with the drama except to know that she knows how to keep herself relevant.

    That statement "your money is my money" sums up why he's in that relationship.  Not that she has a lot but sounds like it's much more than Michael!  

    And yes, I've noticed the people that scream "I'm DONE" truly never are.  Moments after that declaration doesn't give them the attention they hoped, they want to pretend they never said it.

    Absolutely not!  I was recounting what *I* did as a SAHM and wondering if Andrei did the same.  I agree that the parent who goes out to work has at least some responsibility when it comes to keeping a household running, but study after study has shown that whether the father or the mother is the one staying at home, the mother ends up doing the bulk of household chores--which is why I mentioned fathers "helping."  From a Gallup poll in March of this year:

    As working mothers in the U.S. continue to fight for equality in the workplace, many are also simultaneously and disproportionately handling key domestic chores on the home front. In households where married or partnered mothers and fathers both work full time, the wives are more likely than their husbands to take the lead on everything from doing laundry, cleaning, shopping for groceries, and preparing meals, to planning family activities, caring for children and furnishing the house.  https://news.gallup.com/poll/286739/working-moms-little-reprieve-household-demands.aspx

    Given Andrei's hyper-masculine view of himself, I think it's reasonable to believe he might believe in stereotypical male/female roles in the family.

    But as I say, I'd love to be shown I'm wrong--about Andrei in particular.

    Yeah, sorry -- I thought to myself as soon as I posted that isn't what you were trying to say so I apologize for how I came across!

    I was a SAHM, and I know how hard this job is.  I wonder about Andrei, though--is he doing what I did?  Is he doing all the laundry, the cleaning, the grocery shopping (plus all the little miscellaneous errands, like going to the post office, the bank), cooking, pediatrician appointments, etc., etc., etc.?  Maybe I'm misjudging him, but I have a feeling that he is staying home with the baby, feeding and changing her, maybe playing with her, maybe bathing her, probably putting her down for a nap, but until I learn otherwise, I'm not willing to call him a SAHD.  I heard someone say "Dads aren't supposed to *help*" but I suspect that's what Andrei is doing.

    I would love to be shown I'm wrong.

    Nevermind!

    This was actually the only moment where I kind of liked Father Libby. He sounded genuinely admiring of the skill involved, plus flattered that they had gone to that effort. Anyone besides a strict vegan would look at that table and think, "Wow! Where's my plate?" It made me want to fly to Moldova immediately. Plus, it looked pretty straightforward to an American eye. Even someone from Tampa knows meat, cheese, chicken, and bread when he sees them. It's not like Indian or Ethiopian food where everything is chopped and sauced, so the uninitiated Westerner might only recognize the rice.

    i think it was one of those backhanded compliments.  He could've just said "wow, what an amazing meal."  It's like when someone has a small house and the compliment is "cute house."

    I had to laugh at Libby's family whining about walking long distances in airports.   Haven't they ever been to Newark, JFK, Atlanta, or Dulles?    

    I thought that was a dig at the small Moldovan airport.

    Honestly, this entire episode seemed soooo scripted.  First, we have Libby's idiot dad and brother immediately grilling Andrei in the car and rolling their eyes at absolutely everything Moldovan.  I am not a huge Andrei fan but can you blame him for resenting them? The two of them just going on and on and on... "Dude, tell us.  Bro, come on; you didn't just leave your family to go to another place without a reason." Then all of the stupid American questions.  And the endless complaining... yes, sometimes airports are crowded. Yes, sometimes you have to walk a long way to get to your connecting gate.  Just SHUT UP already.  And Dad, you pose as the "protective Dad" but remember something: your daughter is a grown-ass woman, married with a child and you can just sit down about "protecting" her. That ship has sailed.

    Next comes Angela, acting as if she has never set foot in Nigeria before and has absolutely no clue about how they eat or shop.  "I'm used to air conditioning and things in cans."  Dear god.  "We'll just order a pizza!"  And all of her blundering and blustering about being an AMERICAN WOMAN and when Michael's family comes to HER APARTMENT they are AMERICAN.  That's some really idiotic shit. And what is it about acting like cooking is some sort of menial task that is beneath her?  The puking and retching was over the top. 

    Finally Larissa.  I am convinced that her calling him "Erickee" is at this point producer driven ("hey, it's so cute how you put 'ee' on names! Do it all the time!") He is boring and bland and I'm sure just figures he'll play along to make a little extra cash. And what guy roommate says about his friend, "I'm afraid he'll get his heart broken"?  Larissa mentioned that Erickee "broke her trust" before. What... wait; didn't she say she broke up with him because he was boring and didn't like sex? Like they were just friends? But now that he's pried his wallet open a bit more she's got her eyes on the prize: a free place to stay and a new set of bolt-ons.  She needs to go away.

    Hmmmmm, I'm not convinced Eric is straight.  Or his roomie is

    I agree on the fakery.  I believe Andrei's family are zenophobes. I also believe they are asked to play it up.

    I believe the Angela is pulling stuff out of her ass to create drama and stay employed.

    Those two studs, Eric-y and his roommate, have a big red mug that says, "Hot Mama."  Yet, it's Larissa whom everyone thinks is ultra-sexy.  Maybe it's the halo effect.  

    Larissa acts like she's the homeowner.  She tells the roommate that she thinks he'll be a good roommate and he must behave while she's on probation.  (Eric asks why she's on probation, as if he doesn't know.)  Then, she orders a bed and talks about putting her touch on everything with redecorating.  

    I also love how there is zero discussion with the roommate about bringing Larissa in.  A real convo would be, "let me see if my roommate is okay with you staying here."

    Tryhard quirkiness, like Jennifer Lawrence.  It's very obviously an act.  You can be around people like that for years and never really know them and that doesn't work at all for the accelerated intimacy of the show.

    And they hook up with each other both during the "marriages" and after the show.  Classless and a complete lack of shame.

    Perfect explanaition -- the Jennfier Lawrence syndrome!

    Also, I learned that with MAF in Australia, their marriages aren't legal.  So each contestant really has nothing to lose since it's just a pretend ceremony and basically a dating show and it's going to attract the attention whores.

    I mean, I think anyone who signs up for a reality show is essentially an attention whore; they're looking for fame.  But at least with the US version, there' an actual legal marriage on the books.  If the reality show relationship doesn't work, they've got to go through a divorce.   Any other mate is going to know that they've been married before.  It takes on more weight in the US version.

     I actualy really like Amelia. She is who she is and is true to herself.  And she seems very down to earth for a doctor.  I've worked with a lot of doctors and I think if anyone had said "God" in their presence, they would all have turned en masse and said, Yes?"  She appears very accessible for her position.  Plus, she showed up at the auditions, so to speak, being her quirky self, and the experts (I use the term lightly) contacted her and said, We have a match ( for your quirky, unusual self!) So now I think, "Go, Amelia! Be who you are! The "experts" have found someone for you so bring it!"  (I just can't bring myself to write experts without some qualifying modifier because I don't think they are very good at their job.  But that's not the participants' fault; the onus here is on the experts.)  

    Also, I'm kind of amazed at her athletic ability. I would think crouching on a tightrope, raising yourself up and walking on it would take a tremendous amount of skill. 

    She'll also--eventually-- be bringing a lot of financial stability into the marriage. Not to speak badly of Bennett's choices-that's who he is--but the old adage of "money can't buy happiness but it sure takes the edge off misery" seems to apply here.

    I'm just hoping these two crazy kids can make it.

    (And no, I'm not Amelia's mom, or cousin or college roommate, etc .)   🙂

     

    She's obviously very smart and very talented (I admired her musical talent!).

    I think it's the question of whether she's really herself or if this is that person laying on the "I'm so quirky isn't that interesting?" persona.  Like her friends!

    I think the like/dislike of tattoos has a bit to do with age.  My friends in their 50's, 60's and older, hate tattoos.  When I was growing up, tattoos weren't normalized, you only saw them on sailors or people who'd been in prison.  I have older friends who have never had their ears pierced because that was thought of to be "dirty."

    That's me!  I don't have one.  But I recently found out my 18 year old rebelled and got one in a place she can cover.  But it still really irked me. Manly b/c she knows I didn't want those and told her if she wants them, she can get it when she lives independently from me.

    That said, there's so few non-tattooed kids her age it's unreal.  Even the cleanest cut boyfriend she had had one.  

    There seem to be more people with than without.
