    I can't believe she actually cared about the little troll or that she would seriously ask for his permission to allow the co-worker to bunk at her house. HER house.

    I need to go back and re-listen (but please don't make me!) because I thought they were fighting because she gave someone a ride to El Cajon.

  2. Fraudedmedia posted a clip on their Instagram of a fight between Ed and Liz, and it’s super tough to listen to. I don’t know how she stayed with him! I think there’s some discussion of it in the couples thread. I really hope TLC doesn’t keep hiring him.

    i also keep going back to his intro where he said he dates younger women because he’s immature, but also that he’s not attracted to women his age “unless it’s someone like JLO.”  

    Going back to someone’s post above about future seasons of The Single Life- who would you like to have on there if you could choose? I’d like to see Yamir to see how he’s doing post-Chelsea. I also think Mike and Natalie might be done, so it might be interesting to watch them date other people who are more compatible mates. And I know she’s still married, but if she finally breaks up with Asuelu, I’d really like to see Kalani on there!

  3. Ok, I am calling shenanigans on the Fernanda story.  She claims she met her new roommate through her trainer in Chicago who knew someone in Miami looking for a roommate, but I read an article that says 

    Spoiler

    she met him at the gym in Miami.  https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/90-day-fiance-who-is-fernandas-new-man-meet-noel-mikaelian/  And that he's her new boyfriend.  So did the producers set it up for drama to have her move in with a random new roommate that she soon starts dating?

    Oh and also, if you wanted to drive down a road that was a short cut,they would stop you with automatic machine guns. Someone assasinated the president, and that started fighting within the country. Thank God the company my husband worked for flew all the expatriates home. Never been so happy in my life.

    A lot has changed changed in algeria over the last 40 years. My husband is algerian (and yes, we did a 90 day fiancé visa!) and I’ve been to visit his family there multiple times within the last few years. The people have always been warm, friendly, and welcoming. I don’t cover my head, and I’m as white as it gets, so I do stick out, but no one has made me feel unwelcome or uncomfortable. The biggest issue I had was when strangers would try to kiss my baby! A lot changed after the the civil war in the 90’s.

     

    And I’m a Christian and have never been pushed to convert by my husband or anyone else in his family. I think Marta’s profession and the fact that she’s an unwed mother would be seen as more problematic than her faith would be!

    All that said, I don't think they're still together now, based  completely on social media. If they were still together, Ashley would be posting pics just to save face. I wonder how much he had to pay her in the end?

    They were together as of as of about 3 weeks ago. My coworker saw them at Mcdonald’s with the kids (she also saw Ashley at the pharmacy said she was sickly skinny. I usually never run into anyone, except I did see Cameran, her husband and baby at target the other day).

    Didn't she say that the miscarriage was two days before they left for Colombia? 

    I’ve had 5 miscarriages, and i can say from experience that if she just had the miscarriage 2 days before her trip, there’s no way she’d be wearing that skintight white dress that she wore to see her grandmother! As much as Paola annoys me, though, I do feel for her- miscarriages suck! But I think Russ and Pao are completely mismatched, and she seems completely unwilling to compromise with him, so I don’t think a baby would help their situation.

    In North African countries like Morocco and Egypt, you'll often see shop owners in the streets giving sweets and other treats to kids and people make a huge fuss over them in general. It's cultural, I know saying it's cultural is a cliche but they really are very fond of kids. Some things they do seem strange to us but it's the norm over there. I remember being shocked at how men walked around holding hands and hugging each other. It doesn't mean a thing, it's just cultural. Azan's family will probably treat Mae like gold. 

     

    Nicole is an idiot and that's the problem, not Morocco itself. Children live there and holiday there all the time, it's a popular destination for Europeans especially. 

    This. My husband is from algeria, and I remember the first time I went to visit his family, I remarked on how all of the family members, men and women, young and old, all doted on the children. They were constantly picking them up and kissing their cheeks, bringing them presents, etc. Even the 13 year old little boys would help take care of their cousins, and hold them and hug them. Mae will not have a lack of attention in Morocco.  

     

    That doesn't mean that Nicle isn't ridiculous!  She has barely spent any time with Azan, and when she left last time, he actually said on national television that he was glad she was leaving.

  8. I've been an old married lady for 10 years, but I always thought that going on outings regularly with someone and having a sexual relationship implied "dating." Obviously they are more casual and not in a relationship, but why the semantics over the word "dating"? 

    I'm no big Landon fan, but I was a little impressed with her turning down her father's job offer because she wants to do something on her own that's not handed to her. Then I remembered last year when she was hitting her dad up for money for one of her "projects," and that turned it back around for me.

     

    ETA: that scene from the bar in Charlotte where  Shep told Austen that Chelsea was slumming it with him was brutal! And Thomas was laughing right along.

     He doesn't necessarily need rental income to do more than cover the mortgage and property taxes, if there's a good chance the property will appreciate in value in a couple of years.  I don't know Charleston real estate so maybe he has reason to think it would be a good investment.

    I'm not a realtor, but the local market is short on affordable rentals, so if he were to find a lower priced property and could keep a reasonable rental rate, he might have a decent idea. Also, Charleston is growing like crazy, so I think the property prices will keep rising for a while.  Craig seems to like being a handyman, so he could always do a flip and make some good money.

  10. I have just a few things to add:

     

    1. Results of the SC bar exams aren't sent out to the candidates before being posted online. Everyone finds out at the same time, publicly.  Results will be posted tomorrow at 4:00 pm here: https://barapplication.sccourts.org 

    2. The Charleston School of Law didn't start out as a diploma mill. It was actually begun as an alternative to USC, with very well respected judges and attorneys as the founders. It's definitely had some problems over the last 3 years or so with the ownership, but that probably didn't start until Craig was already admitted there. I work at a very well known law firm, and we have several Charleston School of Law grads here, so I don't think Craig necessarily went into it with no intention of practicing law.

    3. I organized and attended a party last month on the boat they used in this episode, and it is amazing. There are 3 levels, a large dance floor, a great sound system, and the views on the harbor at sunset are out of this world. I wish they had shown more of that instead of shep and cameran talking about Chelsea for the 85th time. 

    This season is kind of meh. If it's becoming scripted like some people are suggesting, then they need new writers.

  11. I'd have to rewind it (and it's not that important), but I thought that Jennifer told Craig that when Kathryn was released, Thomas wasn't there, not that he didn't show up at all.

    I feel like he has the temper to do something crazy. He talked about shoving her in the pool, head first. I thought that Kathryn handled the polo thing badly, and she completely overreacted, but Thomas' interaction with Jennifer wasn't much better.

  12. Did anyone notice when Mark was talking to Nikki in the guest bedroom about his ex-wife or some such, and she leaned over to kiss him, he immediately shut up and said "ah, we should go to bed." Gross.

    And poor Nikki. I have to say, if she is a scammer, she's doing a better job than Mohammed did last season! She wasn't flinching from him at all. Maybe she has developed feelings for him after all.

    I think Alexandra is adorable, and Josh is so moony over her. They are actually fun to watch, at least without the parents there to ruin it.

    Was that Melanie's ex at the house when she came home with Devar? I was having some satellite issues, so I missed the introductions. He kind of looked like Melanie's son.

  13. As someone who was a fan in middle school and rediscovered them when they reunited, I can say that they really do put on a good show for the fans.  The smiling, hugging, kissing may be perfunctory and part of the job, but they seem to really appreciate their fans and go out of their way to make sure they have a good experience, which is why I think they've managed to keep so many fangirls.  Their shows have choreography, audience participation, awesome lights/sound, and a mix of old songs, new songs, and even some fan favorite covers.  They are dancing the entire time and sing live, which can't be easy for forty-something guys.  I have been to a lot of concerts over the years, and I can honestly say that their concerts rank in the top 5 (of the shows I've seen) for performance value. 

     

    I don't think they reunited because Donnie wanted to give his bandmates a job.  They had actually been approached multiple times about doing a reunion, and they always declined.  I remember that show back in 2004 called Bands Reunited even tried to get them to get together for one concert, and they refused. 

     

    I do think that the selection of fans that they picked is basically right on the money. The only other group that is under-represented is the parent/child group. At the 2 concerts I went to, I saw a LOT of moms with their kids who were second generation New Kids fans.  It's probably harder to find on the cruise due to age limit issues.

  14. I've covered all that in other posts.  The procedure varies from couple to couple.  There's no one way that it happens for all.  Some never interview.  Some have a Stokes interview.  Some are asked for more evidence, some give a little and are fine.  My stepfather is from Morocco, a high fraud country.  He was asked one question and given his papers the next day.  They complimented my mom for having submitted the best paperwork they'd ever seen, but she knew what she was doing and just what they were expecting.  It's not intimidating if you do it well.

    We were lucky and didn't have to have one, either.  My husband is from Algeria, but our paperwork was as close to perfect as we could get, and I think that had a lot to do with how easy and fast our approvals were.  I somehow doubt that Dani is going to have the same ease.  Look at how she reacted to the softball questions asked on the reunion show- can you imagine how she would react to tough questions from an ICE official?

     

    I was so disappointed in the amount of filler this episode.  I expected it to be a fluff piece, but I guess I thought it would have a little more substance or behind the scenes info, not just re-hashing of old clips that had already been aired.  Hopefully they have a "where are they now" episode before the next season airs.

  15. In Ramadan, you must fast from sun up to sun down- no food, drink, intimate physical relations, smoking, etc., so he's covered since it was daylight when they got married- pretty smooth move to set the wedding in the middle of the day during Ramadan!

    Also, no mention of the Islamic ceremony. It will be interesting to see if he plans to go through with that. I married an algerian- my own 90 day k-1 visa fiancé- and we had the Islamic ceremony the same night as our wedding so it would be a real marriage in every way. Guess Mohammed may not be concerned with that?
