S07.E04: You Don't Forget Your Past

[Frozendiva]

Anna's friends have concerns about Mursel. (DVR listing shows Ep. 5)

[PupCal]

I dunno, gang, I think the Turkish!Forrest Gump of Bees and Anna could make it!

[Callaphera]

Mursel with his never-ending stream of, "Okay, Anna. Okay. Yes. Anna, okay," should hook up with Tania - he's the perfect yes-man for her, especially now that Syngin has opinions and thoughts, like, how dare he?

[HunterHunted]

I love this constant thing where these American guys are like "I wanted a Latina because they are so family oriented." It is ridiculous because invariably we'll see the Latina say "in my country exes hate each other, never talk, and would never try to have a relationship with their ex's new spouse." There's nothing family oriented about that. These American dudes just want a woman from a culture where divorce is frowned on. Be honest dude. Say "I just want to trap a beautiful poor woman in a relationship with a disappointing man, myself." Michael got a good one in Julianna. Robert got (N)Anny who is a lot like him, an asshole and a user. That being said, (N)Anny was rude as hell to GILF in the beginning. These two are horrible. I hope they stay together and away from the rest of civilization.

If Tania knows so much about how a drill driver works, why the fuck didn't she fix the servitude shed? Also no bathroom in the shed? Syngin better figure out a way to temporarily enclose that breezeway between the house and the shed because that's going to be a miserable 90 days when it gets cold.

Anna dragged Mursel to an engagement party for the two of them hosted by her friends, didn't stick by Mursel's side, and didn't even make him a plate. She's an asshole.

Jasmin and her equally impassive sister seem to have modeled their faces on the White Chicks makeup and Igloo Australia Iggy Azalea. Regardless, it's not a great bit of surgery and fillers. I'd only ask who did their work just so I never went to the people they used. The only thing that makes me somewhat hopeful for Blake's relationship is that Jasmin seemed equally enthused to see her sister as she was to see Blake.

[Frozendiva]

Michael and Juliana - the Princess Leia mini bunnies looked silly and Juliana looked 15 wearing them. It was sweet to play with the kids and get to know them. That is it for now. The whole parenting discussion should have been only Michael, his former wife, and Juliana. And any prospective new mate with Michael's ex. They can go over things like house rules, use of devices/phones, etc., homework, that sort of thing. I wouldn't expect to be someone's insta-step-parent. That's a lot of pressure when I don't even know the kids. Has anyone asked Juliana if she wants to be a step-parent? Is the plan to see the kids only on weekends?

Anna and Mursel - he really needs to take some ESL classes to be able to communicate with her. I liked the bees scene. The party with the friends was a bit of a disaster and Anna should have been more of a partner to him than set him up to flail around on his own.

Robert and Anny - hello disaster. They continue to be ill-suited and just don't seem to really get along. She doesn't seem like she is invested in him except for a Green Card. His ex mother in law or whoever she is was pretty direct with her - and it wasn't something you'd chat about with someone you have just met. No sense of boundaries. Anny still likes being a victim. She cared about Robert's Facebook with photos of his other kids - she knew about the 4 other kids and still wanted him? No wage garnishment for support for them or anything? Having an argument at the restaurant was a bit rude - the other patrons don't need to hear it. I'd have been on the first flight out that I could get.

Mike and Natalie - Natalie, you may want babies galore but that is something you need to talk to about with Mike himself. The two of you do seem semi-real, but I don't think you are going to like giving up the fun and nightlife at home to go to a farm. Your friends can say what they like, but you ultimately make your own choices. Her mother seemed sweet. Maybe she will make him some good Ukrainian food.

Blake and Jasmin - Blake, you are too yellow-haired, too big of a smile, too giggly. Jasmin's sister who looked a bit plastic-enhanced lives 10 minutes from you? Blake lives with his mom still? Jasmin's sister didn't seem too happy to see her and Jasmin herself seemed detached from Blake. Both have had a few procedures already. She may be tired after the long flight over, but I don't know why they are together.

Tania and Syngin - The Boss will not be disturbed. Her novel has been planned and Syngin is just the poor player on her stage. She was exhausted from doing a bit of paperwork and had no energy to even do anything to the she-shed to make it liveable for him. Shame on her. A few weekends with some of her friends could have fixed it up nicely - and not be a hoarder type hovel for him to be greeted with. This is the real America for ya, dude. Syngin, don't have any thoughts of your own, ideas of your own, etc. Don't see them lasting until both are in the same page of the same book. Maybe he can make some deal for a free camper van and head off on his own.

[Jade Foxx]

Bees or not, Murcel ain’t feeling it. 

[magemaud]

I’m not sure where to ask this question, but here goes. Why does my on screen programming info for “90 DF” and “Pillow Talk” list the stars of both the shows as “Elizabeth Potthast” and “Jason Hitch”? 

I know she’s the Elizabeth with Andrrreeeiii, and has a few acting credits on IMDB, but Jason was on the show so long ago, I don’t remember a thing about him. So out of all the people who have appeared on this franchise, why do they get “star billing”?

Most foreign fiances want desperately to get to the US and then get married, so I give props to Syinge for holding out that he's still making up his mind about whether he'll marry Tania.  Of course, she is looking crazier and crazier.

The other thing that was striking in this episode was pornstar granny and her SO were sort of bright lights, heavy into investigating what exactly Anny is doing here, and gee...as well as what bc is being used.  Granny is not wanting a baby to complicate the picture.

[gavinmac]

I get the feeling Natalie is bit older than 35 and that's why she wants a baby NOW. Or maybe she's just had a rough life in Ukraine with the the windy cold winters and air pollution and whatnot aging her prematurely.

Jasmine's level of interest in Blake is lower than Tania's breasts.

[Haute Messe]

Tania is a straight up bitch. I am starting to find her downright ugly with her saggy chest and sloppy t shirts and sweat pants. Poor Syringe can't even finish a sentence and I bet he will not even be able to look at her slobby ass long before 90 days are over.

I get the feeling that Anna didn't even know half of the extras guests at that shower. Am having a hard time believing any of this story.

I noticed that Juliana said something to the effect that this is a "job" when she was doing the hair thing with Michael's daughter. If anything, she could fulfil the role of a big sister to those kids. And agree that the conversation about parenting should have been nowhere near earshot of the kids. Also it looks like Michael is being propped up with a steel rod in his back.

Robert needs to do the world a favour and get himself snipped. He and Anny do deserve each other, they are both awful. The moment the grandparents arrived on the scene, I thought they were reading lines as actors. Not porn stars, but actors playing the role of grandma and grandpa. It didn't seem like Bryson knew them very well. 

I am still kinda liking Natalie, but not sure how she is going to do at Green Acres. And am I the only woman who would gag if presented with a stuffed animal?

Blake looks much better with natural hair colour. Another broke ass living with the parents. The plastic one with the braids is only here with him for the green card, right? 

[moonbunnychan]

So like....I wouldn't actually get offended if somebody asked me about birth control.  Maybe it's just never been a taboo topic for anyone I know?  Given Robert's stream of children, I don't think it's a super horrible thing to ask.  But she had decided before she even met her that she wanted nothing to do with her, and made zero effort to even attempt to be cordial.  She's just SO nasty. But seeing the grandparents I have to wonder how old the mother of Bryson is....
 

Mursel hates everything, he even said Anna isn't a very good bee keeper.  I sincerely don't understand why he's there.  He is seemingly making almost zero attempts to fit in, be a decent human being, or say anything other then "I love Anna!".  Like....ok?  You two can't even talk, how do you even know each other enough for love?  At least with Paul and Corrine they seemed to be having actual conversations via the app.

I straight up can't stand Tania anymore.  I couldn't tolerate being in the same room with her, much less marry her.  And she had months to get that shed somewhat habitable.  It didn't have to be perfect, just like...maybe move the paint cans outside at least?  Put sheets on the bed?

I know people think Porno Granny was rude, but I think she has seen Robert make mistakes with women (5 children by 4 different mothers) and she doesn't have time for more bullshit so she cut right to the chase. He should not be making more babies he can't pay for on an Uber salary.

[LennieBriscoe]

Anna's beekeeper outfit covers a multitude of sins.

She thought she was slick by not having the shed ready before he got there so he is stuck helping her. But actually she hurt herself because he is seeing her at her worst, bossy and looking sloppy while they fix it up.

[Jel]

I don't know if it was editing or what but something was up with Bryson's reaction to his grandparents. He didn't stop what he was doing and didn't seem at all excited or happy  to see them. Seemed odd, and a bit of a red flag to me.

[JasonH]

This is my moms wall. This is my moms cabinet at the end of the day- Tania

The whole house is a complete dump!

[juicyfruit]

I groaned and pulled an eye muscle rolling my eyes so hard when I saw yet another couple being introduced tonight. Until I saw that the new foreign fiancee is Finnish...

Although I was born in Canada, I am of 100% Finnish background (both father's and mother's side), so I grew up around several Finnish-born relatives and family friends.  It is a well-known joke within the Finnish community that while Finland has been coined one of the happiest countries in the world, you would never know it to look at us 😐.  I can tell you that the level of excitement the sisters displayed when greeting each other at the airport, while maybe a degree cooler than normal for Finnish people, was not far off from the cultural norm.  I was dying when the sister shared a cab ride with Blake to meet Jasmine and barely responded to his attempt at conversation. Finns do not do small talk.

Someone commented on the live thread about one of the sister's noses and how it was a Michael Jackson level disaster. While I agree they have overdone it with fillers, I suspect the nose may be natural. Her nose was very similar to the noses of several members of my family.

The sisters names threw me off a little though. The letter J in Finn is pronounced like the letter Y in English. Also every single letter of words are pronounced. So Janette introducing herself as "Ya-net-te" was appropriate. As such, Jasmine should be pronounced "Yas-min-e", however she chooses to pronounce it the English way.

I think Tania is a beeeeyotch, but I think her edit is awful because she annoyed the hell out of the producers.

Its the same thing I thought about Laura/aladin.  I think he really charmed the producers and she really annoyed them because her edit was AWFUL and he ALWAYS came off looking good.

I think Anna needs to step up her bee keeping style!  

[Hangin Out]

Mike & Natalie ..  It didn’t look so bad in that Ukraine city where she lives now.  It looked better and more livelier than the farm she’s going to in the sticks.  I doubt she will make it on the farm with a baby no less.  Mike is short on money, and the whole town closes up at 10 pm.  She will go mad.  Does she know the whole USA is not all bright lights and buildings and night spots like N.Y.C.?    P.s.  it took me forever to find this thread, as they are all over the place.

Jasmin and her sister.  Holy plastic surgery batman!  They both look like they got the Iggy Azalea special.

Team Singin!  Watching the dumpy control freak lose her shit while he was taking the cabinets off was a joy.

The beekeeper trying to get her simpleton to say she's sexy while working was embarrassing.  

Porn star grandmother's scene with Anny, who gives no fucks, was fun to watch.  I did think Porn star grandmother was beautiful.

I should've read through the comments first but I posted about the Iggy Azalea plastic surgery special!  What I'll never understand is the man that thinks that look great!

And yes the "family oriented" comments.  That seems to be the thing with the American men that bring back the young "model" they could never get in the states.  I think that's their excuse to go with the mail order brides b/c American women have rightly rejected them!

[Drogo]

The length of Robert and Anny's relationship will depend solely on how much he enjoys when someone looks at him as if they wish he would die instantaneously.  

[sasha206]

Max and CeCe continue to charm the hell out of me.  Michael and his ex have done a great job with those kids.  Juliana is sweet.   It is strange that she looks 13 and now is expected to be the non-parenting step mom.

I also think Bryson is a special needs child so it doesn't surprise me his reaction seeing the grandparents.

Aren't the Ukraines under constant siege from Russia, who has wanted to annex them for years because they are the "break basket" for that region?  I have a friend from the Ukraine and he talks also about how high the incident of cancer is in the region because they were in a direct line windways (sorry, I said that all convoluted) from Chernobyl.  My friend lost his father, mother and brother to cancer in the last few years (he happened to be out of the country at the time).  I don't think the living conditions there are that great.

Juliana: 

Michael: 

Michael's ex: 

-----

Tania: 

Syngin: 

[Adeejay]

So let me see if I understand this. Bryson’s grandmother makes her living by having sex in front of a camera for the world to see, and yet, she has no qualms judging someone else. Alrighty then. 

Natalie’s friend Juliana seems jealous of her. Based on the fact that Natalie is divorced, I don’t understand Juliana’s logic that her ex-husband is a better match because he is richer.

Syngin seems to have definite ideas of how he wants to live life in the USA. I don’t think he is going to be the pushover Tania thought he would be.

 I have a feeling Jazmin and her sister are pulling a green card scam on Blake. Based on her demeanor, she clearly doesn’t want him to touch her. Too bad he isn’t picking up on it.

I can't fault Grandma for being an adult film actress; she may have been a single mom and that was the most accommodating job she could find and didn't mind the work, who knows what the circumstances were when she got into it and it's her decision.  We all have jobs and none of us are defined by ours.   

As Bryson's grandmother and mother figure though I think she had every right to want to talk to Anny and I don't think she asked her any "very personal questions"- Anny's just an asshole.    

Also, it wouldn't shock me if Grandma is providing the majority of financial support to Robert and Bryson.  She didn't seem worried at all about being cut out of his life despite having no custodial claim to him.

Lol, true.  I’ve forgotten those days of walking around like a zombie.  The first nite they slept until 6 am was heaven.

[John M]

Michael and Juliana - Michael's and his ex remind me of my husband and his ex. Juliana, you have NOTHING to worry about. My husband's ex is still part of our lives (I actually met my now husband through his ex) but I see the same loving contempt that I see with my husband as his ex continues the exact same behavior that doomed their relationship. And why do I get the sense that all the boxes and junk cluttering the house has more in common with his general living situation and not to do with the alleged move right around the corner? I don't know if I buy that it is happening.

Anna and Mursel - What does Anna not understand about Mursel not speaking English? HE DOES NOT SPEAK ENGLISH! What do you want from him? And what does Anna do? I was under the impression that she was like a professional bee keeper, not a women with an unusual hobby. And he thinks she sucks at the one thing they supposedly have in common.

Robert and Anny - How much more clear could Anny make it that she does not like or respect you Robert? And why should he? I loved the grandma, she seems like a good influence on her grandchild's life and she's right to be asking these questions about the idiot father of her grandchild and the used-tin foil digger he imported from the DK after 8 hours. And I was thrown with the porn star thing, I got the "cool youth pastor" vibe from the husband, but good for her, there is no shame in being a sex worker and she shouldn't have to be a secret. And Anny, get off your high horse about her being a sex worker, the only difference between what you are doing and what she does is she is actually making money at it and not with a bad attitude.

Mike and Natalie - I'm really holding out hope for this couple. I think she is underestimating the easy that they will be able to build the life that she wants in the US but...

She genuinely glows talking about him and seeing him, if she is just pretending to do it for a green card go ahead and bring her to the US and get her into acting. Love is not always enough but he seems like a genuine sweet guy and she really seems in love.

And can someone please explain the Bojangles situation? What does he do? Does he live in the barn? Does he convey with the property? I get the sense that Bojangles has been on the property for hundreds of years and when you take possession of it you just accept that you now have a Bojangles as part of the deal, just don't upset him.

Blake and Jasmin - Oh Blake, you are "doing music"? And living with your mother? Yeah, time to move on from this alleged "music" career because it clearly isn't happening and not going to happen. Jasmin looked totally disinterested in all the photos of them together and more interested in Instagram modeling. Blake, you idiot, Finland is a very nice place, she did not travel half-way across the world to be with a man she barely seems interested in, she is using you to try and start a career in LA being famous for anything.

And no, she does not want to have sex with you, what is wrong with you? I mean for she probably isn't interested in you romantically or sexually but based on the fact that she flew into Burbank she probably flew from Helsinki to New York, then took a cross country flight on Jetblue from New York to Burbank. If she is lucky, she may have had another connection. No she is not in the mood for sex, she wants to shower and sleep just like you would you selfish man.

Tania and Syngin - You didn't do a god damn thing in that shed, you didn't box things up, put sheets down, run a duster over the walls, NOTHING! For weeks! And then you lied to him about it! Sit down woman, stop bossing him around and acting like he is responsible for your laziness. Actually, don't sit down, clean up the damn shed like you agreed to. She is acting like she imported an employee, not a partner.

Totally agree.  I'm just hoping that she's on the show for the $ and has told her boys she doesn't want anything to do with idiot and would be with a man that asked she keep her boys a secret.  But sadly, I suspect that she is, as you say, so wanting to get laid that she'd rather have him than no one at all.

Someone commented on the live thread about one of the sister's noses and how it was a Michael Jackson level disaster. While I agree they have overdone it with fillers, I suspect the nose may be natural. Her nose was very similar to the noses of several members of my family.

The sisters names threw me off a little though. The letter J in Finn is pronounced like the letter Y in English. Also every single letter of words are pronounced. So Janette introducing herself as "Ya-net-te" was appropriate. As such, Jasmine should be pronounced "Yas-min-e", however she chooses to pronounce it the English way.

Aren't you surprised that reasonably attractive, image-conscious young Finnish woman would be so desperate to move to the USA that she would promptly agree to marry a dimwitted, lower class and dark skinned man like Blake who lives with his mom? That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Helsinki isn't Kiev.

Anny and Robert deserve each other. What's he doing paying for a K-1 visa when he's got children that probably need child support? I know I'm not privy to his private life details but good gawd man put a rubber on that thing. And Anny is just unpleasant. She would be so much prettier with a smile on her face. Seems like the only person she's out for is herself.

Tania is just blech. She couldn't at least tidy up the place so it didn't look like a closet?

God bless Bojangles. God bless.

but Jason was on the show so long ago, I don’t remember a thing about him. So out of all the people who have appeared on this franchise, why do they get “star billing”?

Jason married Cassia (curly skunk hair) and lived w/ his father selling crap on ebay.

Good question! I think the real starts of the show are Danielle/Mohammed, Pao/Russ and Chantel/Pedro....based on longevity. Maybe Nicole/Azan.

Michael and Juliana -The whole parenting discussion should have been only Michael, his former wife, and Juliana.

It really shouldn't haven't taken place at all. Michael is the father and the degree to which he wants his new wife involved is up to him (and the new wife). Exspouses don't get to dictate this. But if anything, the exwife could have just explained her concerns to Michael and Michael could have discussed them w/ Juliana privately, to the extent he wanted. Very tacky.

I know people think Porno Granny was rude, but I think she has seen Robert make mistakes with women (5 children by 4 different mothers) and she doesn't have time for more bullshit so she cut right to the chase. He should not be making more babies he can't pay for on an Uber salary.

That's a conversation to have with him. I don't recall her asking him what types of condoms he is using, either.

Based on the fact that Natalie is divorced, I don’t understand Juliana’s logic that her ex-husband is a better match because he is richer.

The friend is all about the hypergamy.

I agree,  it’s only a job.  Besides, she’s probably funding money and health insurance for Bryson, which is admirable.  Some grandmothers aren’t that interested.  She has nice teeth. Too.

I found her teeth terrifying!

Do we know which company he drives for? Lyft offers full health insurance. Uber doesn't. Do porn actresses generally receive health insurance....for their grandchildren? Not understanding this comment 🤣

What does his being dark skinned have to do w/ it?🤔🤨

I don't judge her either, however her line of questions for Anny and "How can you move in after eight hours and sleep in the same room as Bryson?" should have been directed at Robert.  HE needs to answer why he moved her in so quickly and want all of them to sleep together in the same BED.  He is the parent, not Anny.  Have they been talking for two years?  I thought it was less than that but these two annoy me so I lose interest, yet here I am discussing them.  It is a sickness!!!

Pass on the Trojans and get thee to a urologist and get snipped.  Today.  "Yeah, I was a player back in the day......" I guess that is code for wearing Zubas and getting multiple women pregnant.  The thought of that slack jawed droopy gus siring more kids is just.....yuck.

Per Mike - look, my hubby is a six foot seven lumberjack of a guy who hunts, splits wood, fishes, etc and cleans up well.  I would love living on that land!!  But Natalie is clearly a big city girl plus she is religious and he is not.  She is waaaaay too focused on babies and I would not trust her with the birth control.

This post is totally cracking me up.  Thanks for chiming in and giving us the details.
