It would have been even better is Omar didn't speak English.  

I was thinking he was a friend or relative that Omar brought along to stay with Anna and the bees.    If Omar didn't speak English, Anna might have taken him home, along with Mursel, and he'd be around for days before she figured out he was just a guy Mursel met on the plane. 

Yeah the way both guys just stopped and stood there in front of her for a while had both her and me thinking it was a package deal. If you are going to have one guy blankly staring at you when you say things, might as well have two, the more the merrier (and more hilarious).

Maybe Murcel motioned him over because Omar spoke more English and could interpret for him 

I totally figured Omar was going to act as a translator for at least a few minutes, but the actors involved screwed it up.

So douche only bought a house because his model prostitute is coming? Not for his kids?

Asshat. 

[KateHearts]

I was puzzled (as was everyone) by Omar. I think he haphazardly ended up an extra character who can't speak English. My first thought was that he was an interpreter that Mursel brought along- although he certainly doesn't seem to be well-to-do enough for that. And then, as quickly as he appears- poof! Exit stage right. 

I really cannot imagine how these people feel so IN LOVE with someone they can barely communicate with. Yes, there are interpreter apps, but as Anna's sister pointed out, it's really hard to get the nuances in conversation that one would have with someone with a good command of a common language. I mean, the guy barely can say anything.  And then there's Anna, spouting the ever-popular line that she'll either "end up married... or heartbroken." I get that relationships take effort, but to have to struggle mightily with basic day to day talk would be utterly exhausting to me.

Michael is so bland. He has all those penis extensions that deeply insecure men love to flaunt. The sports car. The aviator shades.  Talking about his money (too much). Greenwich CT is extremely pricey- that house was probably several million dollars. So yes, I get that you are rich, Michael. But you are boring. It's like he takes himself so seriously. He can't even muster a smile. I do like his wife. And I'm glad she's looking out for their kids- who, by the way, have so much personality. Cece is adorable and so articulate. They seem to get what's going on moreso than Dad.  

Uber guy is gross, and I'm sure won't become more appealing at the season goes forward. So- should be entertaining, except that his poor little son is in the middle of all of his nonsense. 

Tania is annoying from the get-go "I'm a RADICAL, OUTSPOKEN WOMAN! Look, I buy sex toys and talk about it on TV; I'm that liberated!!" She will be bossing her fiance around the second she hits the airport. And I'm sure that he (who considers himself a free-wheeling, adventurous sort) will just love living in a shed piled with crap in her mom's backyard. Which she told him was ready for them and it's clearly not. She most certainly is the "do as I say, not as I do" type. Tension will ensue!

Tania, omg, was thrown out of the US Senate protesting, spent months in SA...twice, etc.  Conclusion: Tania doesn't work.

Syngin was apparently a bartender in SA.  Tania was apparently a professional SJW for a while, but I'm not sure if the Soros money is still flowing to her.   

Someone upthread mentioned her getting arrested in the Senate while Biden was certifying the Electoral College results for the 2016 Election.    I read that she had a ticket and the only tickets were given to members of Congress, who each received only 1 for a guest.  So, some member of Congress must have given her the ticket.

I am not impressed, btw.  I am more impressed if you did not want to bone with a chick you met after a few hours in the DR.  (There are pics of them in a hotel and she is in her skivvies, I think we can connect the dots.)

The rich dude has some pretty cool kids. It was funny how they were sarcastically digging him about his “fiancés” age and basically saying they weren’t concerned about her like it wasn’t a real relationship. But really - pretentious sports cars are for driving around pretentiously, not toting around children. He is probably that one dumbass that tries to drive a sports car in the snow too.

Guaranteed he has a Range Rover for winter. No way he takes that sports car out in bad weather.

I don't know if it's a myth (never wanted to find out the hard way myself) but don't they say you can become dependent on vibrators and could end up only being able to achieve orgasm with one? And what's with all these sexual enhancements, supplements, toys and what not this girl needs? She's young (under 30, right?) IMO when you're that age and with a new partner and things aren't coming along naturally, maybe you need a different partner or have to educate that partner. Maybe said partner is a dud.

Shrug. I just thought that Tania has s strong libido and that she and Sinjin enjoy an active and adventurous sex life.

Can you let me know if there is an airport closer to you than O'Hare?
I found it funny she drove 7 hours to pick him up.

She lives in Bellevue which is a southern suburb of Omaha (and is the location of Offutt Air Force Base where the Strategic Air Command resides).  The Omaha airport is very close and most definitely is an international airport.  There is no earthly reason to drive all those hours to Chicago.  (Most boring ride ever.) 

If there’s a flight that didn’t come to Omaha, it would probably be found at Kansas City which is only about 200 miles from here.

Live in a shed?

A few years back I was working the front desk at a car dealership.  Some of these "Professional Protesters" showed up with drums, signs, friggin' TRUMPETS and I was stuck out there, trying to answer the phone!!  GO! AWAY!  Afterwards the GM was very accommodating, instructing me to shut down the phones and go into the back. 

Also with this duo:  They played up the "I am brown, he is white and comes from segregation" a bit much, so I am waiting for his family to object soon.  Also, she was VERY adamant that she NOT get pregnant ASAP so why the switch to "I have a clock ticking!!!"

Could be that they're into BDSM. Maybe we'll get to see Syngin in the rein.

[Pepper Mostly]

 Tania could work as a temp, work free lance.  She could be a seasonal worker. She could work as a waitress or bartender, such jobs are pretty easy to get if you're experienced, and earning power is good in a good spot. She could work 80 hours a week for part of the year so that she's free to take part in actions and events that are important to her at other times. Since she was approved for the K1 she must have a somewhat decent income. I'll drag her for being bossy or controlling but not for taking part in protests. That's her (and our) protected right.

[PinkFlamingo]

Watching a donkey kick a guy in the nuts would be more entertaining and less cringeworthy than continuing to watch Angela’s antics at this point. Coincidentally that is also the equivalent of her relationship.

[Bryce Lynch]

Thinking about Juliana and Michael, (as well as others), I am thinking that a minimum age of consent is not enough.  We need a maximum age.   40 somethings, like Michael, should not be able to legally give consent to women in their early 20s, and hags like Angela should be "jail bait" for men under 40.

[FrancescaFiore]

How has Angela managed to stretch her 90 days out to what, now THREE seasons?

There's been almost as much "off again/on again" with Ange & Muh-kul as there was with Nicole & Azan! At this point, the two of them shouldn't be legally allowed within 100 yards if each other, as toxic as that relationship is. I came to this show late in this season but even from that brief exposure to these two, it's abundantly clear that they don't belong together. He's a serial liar who wants children, she's a human bulldozer with an ancient uterus & one dusty, dead egg left.

Those two are never going to be happy together and they should do the bakers of Africa a favor and stop causing the death of innocent cakes from being smushed in Muh-kul's face. I hate seeing cake abuse like that.

If that was the cookware in Mama's kitchen, can you imagine the cast offs that are going to be in the she-shed? Probably as bad as Evelin's single pot (hopefully not to piss in) in Engabao.

YAS!! Fresh new faces and fresh new fuckery!!! 

Why did broke ass Robert take a cruise and only spend 8 hrs in DR when he could have just booked a trip directly and spend a few days? I know his ass is broke but DR vacays are pretty cheap especially flying out of Florida.

I'd call his DR mammi a gold-digger but Robert ain't a gold mine. 

Maybe I am the only one bothered by this, but Tania talking about her S. African dude has some deeply ingrained racist views that he is trying to unlearn and she is the 1st brown woman he has dated is high alert orange to me. Nope. Nope. A thousand nopes!

And she's living in her mama's she shed. Am I the only one who thought of that gawd awful insurance ad?

Michael's children are delightful and the only really redeeming thing about him.

I legit LOL every time they show his petulant "she's not a prostitute" commercial. I immediately think she is and then think of this dude:

Life must be tough in Turkey because Mursel looks like he is at least in his early to mid 40s. 

What reality show god did I offend to be treated to yet another season of the Alabama Tasmanian she-devil?

I am so unhappy she’s going to be back. 

Big Ang trying to reverse those deep set, alcohol infused, and cigarette smoked steamed-in wrinkles is like trying to stop a mudslide with a tea cup.

Why her? I'd rather see what Tarik and Hazel were up to? Is she in the US yet?

I remember her talking about the history of SA, and that she was his first "brown girl" (well pretty tan, anyway).  Did she say he actually displayed and ingrained, racist views or was she sort of assuming he would, being from SA? 

If he really has such views, her trying to get him to unlearn them might not turn out all that well.

Chile, y'all know that shed isn't even as nice as Sheryl's She Shed?!  Tania is a hell of thing:  She obviously bartends for a friend whenever she needs cash/mom makes her.  When she left toolbag #1 in SA, she just hoped over to something else by herself and met toolbag #2.  She was lucky af that she wasn't trafficked!  Tania is annoying and thinks she is, IMO, smarter and more worldly than she actually is. She sex shop escapades and the sex corner of the room were eyeroll inducing. LOL.

Sasha.  Man.  He's 32, married 2x (about to be 3), 2 kids (about to be 3).  LordT.  My theory is that he dead lifts chicks and by mistake a few have fallen on his dick.  Then, he marries them/has babies with them.  Solid theory, no?

A new crop of desperate souls searching for love.

The Turkish beekeeper seems simple. It's not the language barrier. It's the way he carries himself and his demeanor. Omar, the young Syrian guy on the other show, also comes from a conservative Muslim background and had never kissed a woman or held a woman's hand before Avery but he seemed to have a better sense of himself than Mursel. Mursel is middle aged and has never been married or with a woman, I'm assuming. He seemed really over eager and naive. He hasn't told his parents that Anna has kids because he's afraid. At his age shouldn't he be a bit more independent and not so worried about his parent's reaction?

Those poor kids of Michael. They're sweet kids too. Do you really think Juliana wants to come to America to be a step mother in any way, shape or form? She has one thing on her mind and it ain't kids.

Robert and Anny's relationship is strictly transactional. She wants his money. He wants the sex and the baby sitting. She' ll have a rude awakening when she arrives in America and finds out he has no money and is barely living pay check to pay check.

Tania is a pain in the ass. Everything is a huge deal in her world and she loves hearing the sound of her own voice. Syngin seems pretty laid back. I think he'll tire of the drama pretty quickly.

Third wife/baby mama in Russia. "This time will be different." Uh huh.

Angela is back. Was Michael breaking up with her while sobbing dramatically on the video chat? I hope for his sake he was and that he is moving on.
