S07.E05: We Need To Talk

[RealReality]

I love me some coast to coast am with Art Bell, so I'm not at all shocked by any belief in ancient aliens.  I feel it sort of is demeaning to various cultures who achieved great architectural feats...but still.....people who believe in ancient aliens are an interesting bunch.

Seriously, is that look(and that of her sister) considered attractive? I find both these women so plastic and fake looking, I guess I can't imagine someone finding that attractive.

Who ever said she was low rent Iggy Azalea was right. Waxy, slug lips, and a face that doesn't move.

It's worse than just fake looking with Jasmin and Sister Jasmin.  It seems like they went out of their way to have surgery to make their faces ugly.  Their cheeks and lips are grotesquely misshapen.

I think, that because My-kull and Angela She-beast are coming back, someone else is not going to make it the whole way and will thus be eliminated from the show.  Anyone remember Loyo, or Lolo, the Nigerian Prince who had that girl snowed? they came late to the show, and then disappeared, right?  Or the exotic dancer mom of 2 who was messaging with some guy from some middle eastern country- names are escaping me now...sorry...still in somewhat of a turkey coma...They came for a few episodes, and then poof no more!

So who will it be? I think it’s between Anna/Mursel and Mike/Natalie.

My guess is Mike/Natalie. One or both will be abducted by aliens.

What’s the point of going furniture shopping when she hasn’t even seen the house yet?  I would need some idea of the rooms and what would fit where, etc.

I don’t agree with the whole renovation of an entire house just because styles may have changed.  It’s one thing if things are in bad condition, but why is it considered necessary to change things to the current trend (which will be “dated” in a few years again)?  Sure, change wall colors, rip out wallpaper, that kind of thing, but I think it goes too far with every house having to look alike.  

I think it’s a moot point anyway - this guy doesn’t have the money he pretends to have.

OT, but I agree!  If I never see another Agreeable Gray house, I might die happy.

It certainly does not have to be ripped out and renovated. My comment was facetious: "oh you are so great but you bought a house that was last updated in 2005!" Most of us cannot afford a 1.2 million dollar house. But because it is a TAD outdated, it probably sat on the market for a long while. People in that price range tend to want the latest trend in home finishes- which will be out of style in 5 years too, as you point out. 1 acre of land in Greenwich for 1.2 million is an absolute steal! I noticed the background room where she is giving her interviews is stunning and looks like they had it professionally decorated.

Yes, I know we're getting off topic here but I am in total agreement.  The idea of renovating just to renovate is crazy to me.  I have no idea if my house is "dated" or not because when we renovated we just did whatever we wanted - and we still like it, even if it isn't the latest fashion.

Yeah it’s like people who hire interior decorators because they have no idea how to pick stuff that just appeals to them.

Husband: I have no idea what movie you are talking about.

Me: You know, Pretty Bees, or My woman, oh My Girl!

Husband: I have no idea what you are talking about.

Me: My Girl, the kid gets stung to death by bees, that is all you need to know about that movie for now or forever, it's the bee death movie, it's literally the only thing I or anyone else remembers about it.

Me: Bees.

Husband: Bees.

I found this episode tedious.   

These woman whose biological clock is a ticking time bombs are only thinking of themselves and not of the welfare of their future kids.  Fathers are not interchangeable, replaceable but are needed in their kid’s lives.

So Michael buys a house because Juliana arrives, not because his kids could have decent digs when they visit him.  Guess a two bedroom apartment is good enough for them, but not Juliana.   Also, he abandoned leaves his kids alone, so he can go look for a couch.  First, JMPO, his kids are too young to be left alone.   Second, why not look for a couch when his kids are with their mother and spend some quality time with his kids?

This loser could careless about his kids.   It’s all about Juliana.  Hope Juliana takes him to the cleaners.

Long, long time lurker, stepping in to applaud all of you for making mine and the soon-to-be Mr. HarleyQuinn's lunch hours very freaking enjoyable. 

Mr. HarleyQuinn owns a car dealership, and as soon as we saw the tricked out GT, he jumped online and began cursing at the TV, "He can't buy a fucking hair cut but can buy a half million dollar car.  Bullshit.  LEASED!"

That couch?  That $14,000 eyesore needs to be here with all us in Arkham Asylum because that pattern would drive anyone out of their gourd.  If I'm stupid enough to pay $14,000 for a couch, in a home with two young children (adorable and so well mannered as they are), then that couch better get up and do my laundry while no one is sitting on it.  Hell, it better replace that horrid chandelier while it's up.

Tania makes me want to bazooka the TV.  Go on, chick, learn how to cure cancer with peppermint oil, a river stone, and the contents of a goat's stomach.  We'll wait.  Hold up!  Instead of that, why don't you take Biology 101 and find out what really happens to your eggs.

She literally has no time to do any of that because there is LITERALLY a clock inside her.

[Stinamaia]

Does Tania know that the vast majority of potential eggs we are born with “disappear” by the time of puberty?   Or even after that we “disappear” them at a lesser but steady rate each month?  They don’t just go poof at age 30.

[John M]

Do any of these people know that having a baby is in fact entirely optional? They are expensive, time consuming, strains on relationships, you are entirely free not to have one now or even ever,

[Evangeline]

Hate to defend Tania, but she's right about eggs disappearing. It's actually way more than half that are lost by the time you're 30 - you lose most of the eggs you're born with before you even reach your fertile years. Can't remember specifics, but I have somewhere the numbers that a fertility specialist scribbled down for me. That said, it's a pretty slow decline in fertility til you hit 34, but if she wants multiple kids, she's right that time is not on her side. But neither are a number of other important considerations lol.

[Spike]

I wasn’t clear on whether Natalie’s ex-husband didn’t want kids or had fertility issues.  I can see at 35 if Mike needs 3-5 years to pay down his debt she might be concerned.  

[RoxiP]

I'm betting Natalie's husband was cheating - he traveled a lot on business and he apparently didn't want children.  I would suspect that he is already on wife #2!  (Wows, my faith in humanity is low today.)  I don't buy the reason she gave for divorcing him.  Besides, her mother didn't like him - there had to have been something else.

I wasn't that offended by her encouraging him to run.  Sports (I guess that's the Ukrainian term for exercise?) is important to her and she wants to share that with him and help him continue to lose weight, which has been an issue for him in the past.  She told him he didn't have to do it and I thought he was super sweet saying that he would try and do it with her.

In general I agree with you about Michael's attitude. When we bought our house, though, it took 8 months from start til end. Obviously that's not "normal", but sometimes stuff does happen. He only divorced 2 years ago so he hasn't been in that condo for very long. Still, though, even if he was just living there while he shopped for houses and went through the sale it doesn't explain why he didn't rent a 3-bedroom to begin with.

Yeah, no, the Hollywood comment was more snark directed at saying something like "Plastic surgery = molestation" as if it were fact. Like Juliana clearly being a prostitute and Before the 90 Days Tim clearly being pre- or post-op transgender. 

I'll buy insecurity issues but I also don't think you can paint every person who has plastic surgery as insecure or having body dysmorphia. Molestation is a serious leap, though, IMO.

Agree. I know plenty of people who get massive amounts of plastic surgery because they legitimately think it looks good. The molestation was a jump for me. 

I'm actually getting a little squirmy about the "Julianna was a prostitute" thing. We don't know that and IF she was then I don't think it's something to just flippantly joke about. No teenage girl turns to prostitution because it's their childhood dream. It's usually out of desperation.
