[Season 2 Discussion]

First off, how can anybody who knows Danielle in their right mind believe Mohammad loves her? This cannot be a real couple. I refuse to believe anybody can be that moronic. She needs to focus on feeding her 5000 kids and get her head out of her ass. I mean really. She's how old? And believes a handsome young man would want her? At least her sister acknowledged the fact that she couldn't afford the wedding.

I nearly spit my coke out of nose at the fact that you said Mo is "handsome". LOL. He isn't homely looking and a 10 for Dani but those man boobs.. oh boy!

As for the wedding, doesn't matter if Dani has $0 or $500 to spend. You all know that TLC is going to foot the bill as long as they say 'I do'.

Man, I wish they could capture on film the the excuses for the wedding night.

[Social Media & Spoilery Speculation]

cooksdelight you are awesome! I cannot believe that TLC is still maintaining her age as 41 (instead of 45 or 46).  I understand TLC loves ratings but to go this far with a woman who is ill with psychological problems is just disgusting. 

I cannot believe she uses her wedding picture on the meetme profile. - that woman has some serious issues.

 

What I don't understand is Mo's persistence of her in the first place.  He said that he offered her money to buy shoes for her daughter. Right there would have given him warning signs that this woman isn't financially stable for him to scam her with the beezness. It's not like Danielle couldn't afford her daughter a new pair of Nikes or some other name brand but shoes in general. He should have just moved on.... Unless he knows about the loop hole in regards to not have to wait the 2 years. 

[Social Media & Spoilery Speculation]

Since cooksdelight asked me to move this here.. I have to ask.. Is Mo still in the States or back in his home country?  I can't tell from what I can see on his fb page.

Danielle reminds me of June from Honey Boo Boo.

Shhhhhh TLC may replace HBB with this hot mess.

 

Where is Mo now anyways? In the States or back home?  

 

 

[Season 2 Discussion]

Let’s start with the hot mess of Dani and Mo.  Dani you are not at that age to be trying on dresses of that sort especially with the limited budget. Do you really need a white wedding dress?  What about a consignment dress? What about just a formal dress that’s off white?  You would probably just spend 200$ max if purchased new.  I really do feel bad for the kids. This woman is in total denial of the situation.  What she needs to do is a) take care of herself, her home and work situation and b) take care of her kids. She does not need a man at this point.  Girl needs some major counselling.  The whole football in the park with the bar and ho’s were a TLC set up I agree with the other posters up thread.  From what I know about the Muslim faith (and please someone correct me), they are not forbidden to drink, just forbidden to become intoxicated. That is why many just abstain from alcohol all together.   BTW – I think Mo is older than what he states.  To me he looks more like he is in his early 30’s.
Yamir and Chesla. Enjoy two weeks or 3 at home then get the boy back to his home country. He will not be happy in the States. He needs his boy band and he wants to sing. As a poster said up thread, tour with him, stay at the hotels and teach him some English.  Chelsa is another one that is selfish that she wants him back in the States all to herself and him doing some menial job when he has other aspirations.
Cassia and Jason. Oh lordy. Just give her a bus ticket back home Jason and find someone closer to your own age at Shady Pines.  Looks like daddy just wants Jason all to himself anyways. Kudos on leaving the mess and the green pool so Cassia knows exactly what she is getting into. I would have left right there and then.
I just don’t understand these people’s mentality on either side. These people have not even bothered to come over for a visit before making a drastic move like they have.  Their American counterpart didn’t explain they live Discuss logistics or future plans (such as Cassia and her bikini modelling aspirations). I think this season is not only more scripted than last, but more set up by TLC. There is no way these couples would have been able to get to where they are without TLC.

[Season 2 Discussion]

 

He obviously knew what he was getting into with Danielle because she'd been over there to see him, but my guess is he thought she had at least a little money, considering she paid his way to America.  I wonder how in the world she could afford even that, to be honest.

Danielle stated that she pulled alot of overtime to afford to see him.  I am thinking that Mo didn't have a chance in heck coming if TLC didn't step in. I really think it was a TLC set up. I'm not even sure if Mo came on a K-1 visa or just a visitor's visa.  But i also noticed how as soon as he came the house is too small for his taste and him questioning if the car was her's, etc.  

Did anyone catch the son was also lying through his teeth for mom about her age? Yup busted.

Daya and Brett: He's pretty dumb about the whole situation but she is an idiot as well. If she was more crafty about the ring a better way to get the diamond checked out would have been: " Diamond looks dusty honey. I hope there isn't a crack or anything. Can we just get it checked out by a jeweller to make sure its ok?"

Not a baldwin his girl - can't wait to see how it plays out.

Pop star and Not Yoko Ono - I am glad that the manager put her under a bus. He had the right to announce that the lead member was leaving for the States. Not that he said anything bad about her.

Virgin and New girl - He has how many siblings? Please do not tell me that not one of them could have come and stay at his place and play chaperone.  The guy handled it all VERY badly.  

 

It's like a train wreck. You cannot help watching.

[Season 2 Discussion]

I don't buy for a minute her act or even that she is a little slow. I don't think she believes genuinely in his love for her and I think she's fully aware of the terms of the contract : she pays his ticket, his meals, she gets the perks of an escort, they go on tv to make some extra cash and bye in two years, no hard feelings. At best, she knows it but she's in love and hope he will grow to love her but the premise is still the same : she bought him.

 

I have to agree with the statement above. I know someone EXACTLY like Danielle to the point she looks like Danielle. She has not found love via international dating but her attitude towards men online is pretty much the same as Danielle’s.   I feel really sorry for Danielle’s kids as other posters have mentioned. Also did anyone else notice that Danielle had a large tattoo on her leg? It was in the photo that they showed when she and Mohamend were on the steps in Tunsina. Also noticed how she mentioned that he had proposed many times and she finally accepted.  Besides the religion aspect, there are many cultural aspects.  I cannot see this guy being in it just for her.  Not because of her weight issues (you don’t have to be fat to be frumpy or unkempt – there are a lot of polished looking people that are overweight) or her age. But the fact that they are cultural opposites and she is just very clingy and her kids are parenting her and not the other way around.   I wonder what happened to her first husband.

Dya and Brett.  Did any other posters find that her accent is hardly there? I am wondering if this is her first time being a K-1 bride.  Especially with the fact that she is pretty bitchy. I agree she should have been upset with him being late especially with internet and apps that can track the flight coming in.  I am wondering about if TLC didn’t edit out Brett asking where her bags are to get a bitchy response from her?  The flowers in my honest opinion were lovely.  Though the man is a dufus, he is looking for a certain type of girl (obedient).  Really the man should just find another American girl but older since he likes to hang out with older women.  He and Danielle should have hooked up instead.

Alec Baldwin I am not and Colombian chick: again, he is looking for a certain type of girl but I will reserve judgment on the fact that TLC does like to stir drama. For him to set up the house with rose petals on the bed, signs, etc and not clean up the dishes?  For a lazy bachelor who has a decent wage as well, why does he not have a dishwasher?  You would think he would spend a few bucks on one since he obviously hates doing dishes.   But at the end of the day he wants a mom in the kitchen and ho in the bedroom.  Really Colombian chick should run run back to where she came from.

Yamir and Chelsea. I am wondering if this isn’t a scam as well to a) either get word out of the Nicaragua pop star and it’s all a put on by Chelsea and manager or b) just Chelsea/Yamir.  No way if they are that popular they are not making enough money to live an above average life in Nicaragua.  Any idiot would stay there especially if they are as big as Chelsea claims.

In the end i have to say, I am so hooked on this cray cray

[S13.E39: Thunderstruck]

If we follow this right....

Spike had her baby

Manny aborted

Mia (has a kid)

Jenna + Liberty have had the kids, but put them up for adoption.

Dallas has his kid.

Ali had a pregnancy scare

So i think maybe we'll be seeing a Clare faces abortion storyline. And truthfully, I didn't see this coming at all. I thought they were going to have cancer come back.

 

 

Let's not forget also that one of the twins in the original Degrassi also had a pregnancy scare that resulted in an abortion. Very controversial for back then. I think the States refused to air the episode.  I am hoping that Clair does have a miscarriage.

[S13.E36: Out of My Head]

That dress was completely inappropriate for school.  And I'm surprised that as "strict" as Degrassi has been on wardrobe over the past few years, that not one teacher or admin addressed it.

 

Because it wasn't the issue of the week.

[S01.E01: Pilot (E01)/The Birds (E02)]

Carter will only understand how Elizabeth feels when the same thing happens to her when she has a child of her own.

 

I actually liked the first two episodes except for the fact that Carter is a little mean bitch. I wonder if she suffers from some sort of Lima syndrome given that she wants to go back to kidnapper mom instead of staying with bio family.  Besides family counselling, Carter would have had to have one on one counselling for sure.  Bio mom has put up some really good walls due to the fact that she had one kid taken away and the other one was born premature.  I cannot blame her for being the way she is and if Carter wasn't a silly little twit she would see that as well. The parents should give Carter a puppy. Let her love it, nurture it, etc for 6 months, then someone take it away and return it back to Carter with the puppy wanting its new owner and with a different name. See how she feels after that. After the first two episodes, I have no sympathy for any of these characters except for the twin sister and the little brother. i'll keep watching though.

[S07.E01: Jesus Gonna Be Here]

I have to say I hated tonight's episode. I think Alan Ball has overdone it. From the stupid scene with Jason and Violet to Sookie, to the scene in the factory and Fangtasia.  I don't even remember why I liked this show let alone why I am watching it.

[Here Comes Honey Boo Boo - General Discussion]

 

June is telling Anna that she has to have a $5k wedding.

I thought that was just script for storyline because you know TLC is footing the bill. They filmed it. 99% of the Boos now is scripted. There is nothing there to warrant any shred of reality television.  Watching June at his sister's bake shop is nasty. I detest such laziness as i see in the Boos as well as their eating habits.  Just because you are poor you don't have to be nasty like the Boos. They are a class of their own.

[Drop Dead Diva - General Discussion]

Finally saw the episode last night. So mad at show for killing Grayson off and leaving Jane hanging. Why show couldn't you have given happy endings and finish it off?
