I've changed my mind about Asuelo. I resisted believing that he was a dim bulb, seeing as how he grew up in Paradise and had no need to understand a lot of things, like earning enough money to help support his family. But he's lived here long enough to get the picture, and he *chooses* to spend his time playing with his friends and with video games instead of doing something--anything--that might help him qualify for a better job than giving out yogurt samples.
I've also been struggling with body shaming with regard to a bunch of people on this series. I have studied BS at the Whitney Thore School of BBFLU, so I feel I have some authority to speak. I think it isn't body shaming to talk about someone's fat; I think it is body shaming to talk about someone's fat to get a laugh even a smile. So imo it's fine to point out and discuss Coltee's breasts but not OK to speculate on what size bra he needs.
Of course, the problem with that is that we are here to snark, which means to make fun of, so what's a girl to do? And it's fun to make fun of bodies of people we don't like, and don't like for very good reasons well beyond body issues.
Somebody please help me out with this. TIA.
Yeah, I know what you mean about fat shaming and commenting on looks in general. I have done both.
I'll draw the line when it comes to an actual disorder like Ed's Klippel Feil syndrome (KFS). Comment on his greasy hair, his face, his grossness but having a bone disorder that he was probably made fun of growing up I can't do.
Then again, if I go through my comments, I've probably made fun of things no one can help, so I should shut it. 🙂

Asuelu must be a bit slow witted! Remembering his dancing in the airport and now Kalani explaining to him women are doctors too!
He displays no common sense as far as taking two small children home where there is a measles outbreak and paying $3000 for plane tickets to do so! Where is this money tree growing? Last I remembered Kalani 's father was supporting them!
then when she picks him up from his low wage, part time job he goes to an expensive dine in and orders himself Avacado toast and not chocolate. Nothing for the others.
It's a strange world we 're living in!
I remember when the dancing in the airport scene happened and there were several on this board that thought she was rude. I remember thinking I would have died of embarrassment.
I think Asuelu was that exotic guy she fucked and got pregnant on an exotic location. He was the star of the show there with his cultural dances. If she hadn't gotten pregnant, she probably never would've seen him again.
Maybe she has love for this simpleton. Maybe she excuses his dimness from him thinking things get lost in the translation? Or that it's a cultural thing?
I'm hoping second baby wasn't a mistake but planned b/c she wanted a second kid and didn't want another baby daddy. As long as the 90 day money is there, she'll keep him. When it's done, she'll divorce him.

For example, here's a pic of her as she is.
And here's where I cropped that photo

Yes, but... We have seen a photograph of her with Asuelo when they met in Samoa, and she was much smaller than she is now, so we don't actually know how much meat Asuelo prefers on her bones.
She does look smaller, but the photo is really cropped and could mask whether she was really that much lighter.

Although the guy had that slimy look and the philanthropy question was stupid, I thought Larissa's blind date was charming.

So this season's edit is going to be poor, sweet, put upon Tania and Syngin the alcoholic loser that can't keep a job. Quite a 180 from last season.
Also, how did they qualify to rent that house when neither has a job and limited amount of money saved up? When I was a property manager if you didn't have verifiable jobs you needed 12 months rent in the bank and pay it all up front. Saved us alot of headaches when eviction time comes around. They have only been there a month and already worried about paying the next month's rent.
I think this is the 4th wall of TLC money.

I think any item that doesn't have her boobs fully exposed, Libby thinks is modest. It's her best asset so she shows them as often as she can. To her that probably was a very conservative dress, as tacky as it was!
Larissa was cute before doing the the procedures.
And the toning machine she is using looks like that would take a helluva lot longer to work than cool sculpting.
Meanwhile, how would anyone date her knowing she's here and her kids are still in Brazil.

IMO she was stating a partner preference. She could have said short, poor, overweight, balding or some other thing. It's personal taste. The fact that she said it out loud for all to hear / and be offended by, AND the fact that she thought she could do so without taking a hit - are the racista and social elitist components.
I know the context. I saw the way she responded. I heard her words. She had a "oh yuck, gross" and added she didn't even know any black guys.
I understand a partner preference. But the way she said it, the way she acted told me all I need to know about her when it comes to race.

I think this encapsulates the idea of "subtle racism". When Kelly said she doesn't even like black men, I'm not sure direct racism was involved but rather she was expressing her personal taste. Still, to say it out loud is so offensive for the reason above that it rises to racism, I feel. It's as if she feels she has the ego and socio-economic power to say such a thing and go unscathed. And it does put up a barrier.
Kelly said elsewhere she's not a racist and being Hispanic, she's been a victim of racism herself. So what, though. Racism is alive in all cultures.
Kelly is such a knob. I just don't understand the appeal. I will not be watching OC if she is still around when production resumes. She would have to turn a major corner on just about all fronts for me to be even remotely interested.
“I don’t like black guys" is not subtle. It's in your face racism.

I just saw a post from someone that said "people live in a tiny house and everyone praises them, people live in trailers and they're looked down upon." For some of us a trailer WAS a step up. Why do we immediately think that trailers and trailer parks are bad? For me a trailer meant heating, cooling, the chance to live around other kids, and my own bedroom.
I don't think it matters if Colt can apply for another K1 (although he can, having applied for one in the past does not preclude him for applying for another one). Jess doesn't even qualify for one since she's already in the US. You can only apply for a K-1 if you're in another country at the time of application. I don't believe he's really interested in her. This is a production setup.
I said the same thing the other day about the tiny homes that are being built. They cost a shit ton of money, they are so small there's barely any room for one person, much less a family. And likely the same people that buy them are the same people that would turn their nose up at a trailer park.
I think unless you are in an area where trailers are very normal (Fla, Delaware) that they get a bad name b/c of the trailer parks that aren't nice and are run-down. I live in the country and there's a trailer park about 15 miles up the road. There's been a murder there and the police are there quite a bit. It's run down, the trailers are nasty.
Contrast that to Fl and Del near the beaches and most are really nice. My aunt lived in one in FL and it was really big and nice.

I'm not even sure if hustler is the right word. Andrei is really smart and I think he's figured out that hitting her family for money is a great way to retaliate when her family treats him, or Libby, poorly. Gonna snark on us being late? Boom, Moldovan wedding. My country is a hell hole? Now we're riding in on elephants. Keep it coming and we're hiring Beyoncé.
YES! And I lol'd at hiring Beyonce!
I love Andrei. His "Do not terrorize me with your pregnancy" goes down as one of the best reality TV quotes ever.

I might be in the minority, but I would totally refuse to go to the Moldavian wedding reenactment. especially with young kids...when my kids were babies if we went on a rare vacation it was somewhere we chose...beach, mountains...I wouldn't drag my family to the middle of Moldavia. I'd get myself a VRBO on a beach in Maui, and send a gift. sorry, just not that adventurous. I actually side with the breastfeeding sisters on this one.
Karine really lost herself the minute she met Paul. I bet if she gets rid of him, she will get her looks back. She looks depressed and hopeless, nothing like the girl of a couple years ago. He destroys everyone around him.
I hope Colty is a little smarter this time around. She doesn't like sex with him, nobody does. She is just a blow up doll trying to get permanent resident status. She even looks like one.
I'm with you. When my kid was 13 months old, we were on a 12 hour plane ride. 'Longest 12 hours of my life.
I don't think Karine is getting her looks back. I don't think she ever had them. She was maybe kind of cute in the beginning but she takes after her dad. Paul doesn't help for sure, but I think she was heading down that haggard path before he came around.

I can't remember if it was this episode of the first one, but Angela getting upset at the ring tone was funny. In the talking head she talks about how it's really hard to regain her trust once you lie...then she said "and Michael's done that several times..."
How hard can it be if he's been busted several times now? She keeps taking him back!

That's awful rich coming from Libby who has spent a lifetime mooching off her dad and disguising it as "work"
I'm convinced Andrei, enjoying his reality show fame, is going to have a few girlfriends on the side.

Andrei has a job - he's a "home stay dad." LOL.
"Tote" is also a verb. According to the dictionary, it means to "carry, wield, or convey (something heavy or substantial)." She says she can "tote" a baby. Technically, the word fits. It's weird, but it fits.
You know, that reminds me. The first episode, Libby comes home and makes a snide comment like, "What have you been doing all day...nothing?" That's fucking sexist! Watching your fucking infant is not doing nothing.

One has to ask how a woman would be attracted to that. He is not even physically attractive - he like Patrick Star!!! Vacant-eyed and doughy. I could understand it if he were an Adonis. As long as he did not talk, everything would be good!!
I agree. His face basically looks like "DUH." There's nothing appealing to me about him.
i think Kahlini is actually a beautiful girl; yeah, she is overweight but pretty.

Watching Angela w her mom reminds me why I like Grangela so much better than Baby Girl Visa.
I know. I have a soft spot for Angela. I think she has a good heart.

I absolutely love the bickering between Tania and Syngin. I could watch them all day.
Andrei has been around his wife's family long enough that he no longer feels any pride to not take handouts. I think it's the classic case of seeing the other siblings take from daddy, so he wants to get their share.
Meanwhile, Libby sure knows her boobs are her best asset.
Azuelo is a man-child.

I read it too. It's not bad writing, I just thought it was a bad story. You may feel differently when you finish it. What Remains, by contrast, I thought was beautiful and satisfying. I was really flabbergasted that both books could come from the same person. I know Carole said she was working on the fiction book for five years --- I thought it did have the feel of someone who really didn't know where they wanted the story to go.
I would think if you're a journalist, used to covering hard news and your first book was autobiographical, it would be difficult to easily make the transition to a fiction writer?

What Remains was about Anthony's cancer battle and the loss of Anthony and Carolyn and John in the span of one month. Carolyn was Carole's best friend.
Yes, that was the story. I enjoyed the book, but I did not walk away with the feeling that she was madly in love with Anthony ever.

I’ve played hockey a bit in TO and also with several players from there and it seemed like the locals called it “Tronno.” Maybe it was Trawna. My friend from Mississauga tends to say “fucking Leafs.”
I'm a 52 year old woman who joined a hockey league at 50! I'm going to get back on the ice next week for lessons! Best sport ever! (And the "fucking Leafs" sound familiar!)

In “What Remains”, I felt that Carole spoke more about her and Caroline Kennedy than her and her husband the Prince.
Agreed! I remember reading it and not walking away with this was a love story to her husband.

I loved, loved the old gang, Jill, Beth, Simons wife ( forgot her name) and all the husbands. What a difference from then to now. All we have is drunk women fighting and wrecking the joints. The away vacations were nice to see with the shops and all.
Totally agree. I loved Alex and Simon! And when it was good, Beth and Jill's relationship was fun to watch. And Beth was so great back then before she got full of herself.

S05.E03: Seeds Of Discontent
in 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After
That is true. We always mock the Americans going over and shitting all over their culture.
