Tuneful

I may be a shiksa but Imma say it: yenta.

All those black outfits and scowls, it's like a funeral parlor up in there. At a racetrack, with bad dye jobs, and too many rhinestones. Gabe may have become a guy, but is still a nonstop drama queen.

Joining late. Greeted by Shaun in the lime towel wrap. Who died and made Gabe co-host? Obnoxious. Was it from editing. or was that how it was the whole time? If so why did no one speak up to the producers about it? Cheap black rag on Randi is awful & puts her into the coven with Beaky. Adding the orange hair...it's Halloween already?...Myra looks great. KRIS is preaching about how to treat your fiancee right? LMAO. I think Jeymi is very controlled about it, more than I would be. Limiting herself to eyerolls and laughs. As Nicole is pointing out, don't assume a person can and will just drop their culture, here thousands of years old, for your culture, especially in their country and hometown. Mom will always come ahead of whoever the DIL is. Rishi and Jen could move out and hire help for the parents and housekeeping. It'll never happen, may be more "shame." Marriage should never even have been brought up these two, as it was by Jen, I'm sure.

Dupe post!

Gabe wore out his welcome tonight by 20 minutes in. Great makeup and hair work on Jen tonight. I liked the doses of reality from Debbie's son. I wish I had a brother, husband, or father like that; mine were/are the opposite. Just wish someone had delivered some reality about living on art or poetry in the U.S. People I know who have such a vocation do something else to earn their living. Julian knows his mother won't cut the cord. How old is he? I think Jen's too old for him. She needs to look for a guy close to her age with a stable career. Was it Rishi or Mockmood--one of them had some kind of sculpture in a chair in the background (right side in our view) was just like the figure in the basement in "Psycho." Shiver! Kris's hair is orange and she looks really sloppy. I'd go natural rather than be a pumpkin head with my roots out. I think she's using, if she ever stopped. I tried the Match Me Abroad show. I could relate to people talking about dating being tough, even broken, in the U.S. I'm not sure it's any better elsewhere, though. Susan is extra and got on my nerves. I think her friend (who's also single) was more attractive (naturally) and likeable. I never see these folks aware of the fact that once they bring the foreign fiance over, if they marry them, they will be under pressure to bring the rest of the family over and support them as well. Daniele gets points for seeing this early on.

I didn't need to hear about VaLentine and Carlos's sexual techniques. Not much of a listener or helper, are ya, Carlos? Princess Fivehead with OCD p's me off. Looking down her nose at a city that's not rich (but it is her BF's hometown) because she chose to grace it with her lofty presence and it does not meet her expectations...she who botches grammar constantly in her first language (English)... Dump her, Valentin. I'd bring popcorn for that. Alvin the Chipmunk (i.e., Escott) was irritated, and rightfully so. You'd think if Nicole wanted her Mom to find an age-appropriate BF, she wouldn't interrogate him. If she and Mom colluded on it, they're both crazy, but we knew that. Their shrieking gives me a headache. Also, Lidia is homely, not that Alvin and Nicole are attractive either. Pro tip, Alvin, next time wrap the lady's gift, don't haul it out of a plastic bag. Only saw a bit of the Jessica-Juan segment except he's clearly getting shakier and shakier about all this. Come on, Jessica, tell auntie, how did the pregnancy happen, did you "pull the goalie" to seal the deal? The visit looks like total chaos. That her town smells like poop and is crawling with flies is the icing on the cake. Why should he leave his country and a job he loves for that? Is he supposed to be stuck at her home as a SAHD of three young kids, or is he going to be away for weeks if not months at a time still charming the ladies on boats? I didn't think this was possible but I was sick of Caribbean beaches after Episode 1. Too bad "paradise" in Sharp Land doesn't include places like Paris, Florence, or Denali.

Howdy to my neighbors! :-) Well, the pests are not as bad as my relatives had in FL. Or that I experienced in the basement of an old house on Capitol Hill, DC. When our family lived PT in central NH for some years in the 1970s-80s, now that you mention it, my Mom found the ants a real battle. Not to mention the mosquitoes and black flies. When we lived in VA she got swarmed at the mailbox by wasps and nearly died (literally) from it. I wonder if, like other wildlife, fewer people going out from the pandemic has made them more aggressive.

I'm in MD and never dealt with ant invasions in MA or NH, where I'm from. I'm only thankful I have no roaches. Also the BEES here (at least around this residence) are bad, including wasps.

Same here. Recent nice weather I sat out on the balcony, which is nominally screened/glassed. Got no-see-um bites, even though I was covered. And I got the start of the ant invasion yesterday. It happens in the spring. Armies of them, but they are not large, ugh. I bought baits as they're effective but it's a nasty couple of weeks.

It's tough out there, man, being a woman over about 55 trying to find someone decent to date who you get along with. I know whereof I speak, and I basically resigned from it some time ago. Although I am open to the universe surprising me. "Better to be alone than to wish you were."

Debbie, he's been showing you who he is and how he handles anything he does not like that you (or others) do, say, etc. The worst thing for his family is that he won't become someone else's problem, 1000s of miles away.

It looks best on the THs where it's been pulled off her face, cut/shaped, and waved. That old-hippie, bottle-blonde look does her no favors. Does she drink a lot like the other Debbie?

What a drama queen, or king, or...however I should put it. He could have resolved that in 1 minute as soon as he got her first text. "Sorry to hear you won't be joining us. Hope you'll reconsider, but I understand. Have to sign off, very busy going forward with our preparations and events."

I'm running a few minutes behind you all... Jen's face does look weird. I think she may be getting cosmetic treatments in India that are cheaper than in the U.S. She needs to read the room and know when to exit stage right. He is never going against his family. You two will never have your own place. And if you did, who'd pay 98% of the living expenses? She's looking increasingly pathetic chasing this young guy who has no real prospects that we know of.

Oussama, the Rama-Lama-Ding-Dong That is all.

Who NOSE how this is gonna turn out. Every time the camera goes off center on Kris, I exclaim, "Why...she's breathtaking!" Just like that baby on "Seinfeld." OusammaLlama's sister is also breathtaking. As in really pretty, and really a good listener. Too bad SHE's not in the main cast. She is the soul of patience. But I'd like to see her also address his fantasies of being a poet or painter here--same as the prospects there, probably.

They had spent weeks and months together in the past and...(you know). So R was flabbergasted when J showed up this season and said no. No wonder he's been stuffing his face instead. I think she's trying to "save it for marriage" to sweeten the deal.

I said the same thing and that it was grafted onto a diagram of the female reproductive system. And that the artist should be an inpatient somewhere. One of the problems this season is I can't think of anyone I'd call likeable--except Debbie, the translator, and Mama Sumit on Valium. Each troglodyte the show rolled out was worse than the one before. Even the older brother of Mockmood gave me the creeps as he conjured his evil plots over dominoes. Sometimes he looked Telly Savalas sexy and other times like a thug who'd make Nicole an offer she can't refuse. The trio from Oklahoma offers a parade of facial oddness. Jen's mouth takes up almost half her face, and the constant work makes her skin look like Play-Doh dipped in Mop 'n Glow. I think Randi's auditioning to get a show, e.g., the next Elvira. She had the satin tent to swish around with a black bra strap hanging out, as if to inviting someone like Rishi's uncle to "step into my parlor." Since my eyebrows are light and have dropped with age, I think I'll try painting on those Angry Brows. I'll be more intimidating, so that if I say crazy stuff with poor timing (and whip out a "certification" probably done in 6 months online), I'll get away with it.

...poet with a real nasty streak. Otherwise, it's a nice fantasy. I wish Debbie would sing me to sleep with "Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ra." And I'd take good care of that kitten.

There are many appliance-noise videos on YT, including of refrigerators running. I learn more toward a DW, myself. Always open to suggestions to drown out an annoying coworker, neighbor, siren, etc. Update: I see Bison and SuzyW are also connossieurs.

I can't even believe this is a board where you can say that or worse and not be banned.

Grafted onto a diagram of the female reproductive organs. This guy needs to be an inpatient somewhere.

It's like the "Seinfeld" episode with the artist who was into triangles except Oussama's ripped off Munch's "Scream." My 4-y.o. niece could do better.

I'd like to see Mama put up against a farm wife, mom, and worker from Oklahoma (Jen's mom).

Gabe continues to be a drag. No pun intended.
