What a snoozefest...

Blake: a rocket scientist who attaches his spineless self to a woman he has nothing in common with and caters to her whims.

CT Michael and Juliana: boring wedding stuff that goes on for entirely too long...

Emily and Sasha: Sasha will be cheating ASAP.

Angela: I couldn't get past the weird shit on her chest.

Sequim Mike: more spinelessness. He should be done with her. That he's even saying, "I don't know right now, dude" is astonishing, pathetic and desperate.

Syngin is beginning shown exactly what he is getting with Tania, as are most of the men on this program. If they decide to stay, they're digging their own graves.

I will be disgusted if Anna and Mursel reappear next week because he had a change of heart. I was celebrating their departure.

Angela has the worst Fraxel (or other device) laser track marks on her chest.

She must have used a Groupon at a really cheap place.  The sad thing is, in her Talking Head Interview, which must have taken place much later, she still has indentations where they held the head of the device for way too long, and had it turned up too high.  She may never fully heal.  Wow.

It's possible that it's a henna tattoo.

Why hasn't Syngin just ditched Tania to spend the rest of the 30 days seeing America? This obviously isn't going to work out.

Wanted to thank you all for your kind condolences with regard to the loss of my dog. She was a beautiful girl and my constant(ly annoying) companion. Tough day.

I didn't have the chance to offer my condolences to the loss of your beautiful dog.

I amuse myself by playing musical partners with this show. I'd like to see:

- Juliana with Sarah

- Sister Robin with Anny

- Mykuhl with Molly

And I am always on the lookout for somebody for Friend Zied. 

Molly implied in Pillow Talk she would like to partner with Syngin ❤️😉

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but as much as I like Mike, I kinda get what Bunny Boiler was saying. I think she has love and affection for him but is she IN love with him? Probably not. They don't know each other well enough. I think she was saying that love that he's talking about might grow between them with time, but that it's not there right now.

MD, just riffing off your post, I get her view of love there too, but I think the trouble is she shifted love definitions on Big Mike.  On Skype and for the first few days she "loves" him, then when she started thinking of religion, kids and being serious toward the end, she shifted to a different kind of love, like a relationship built love.  No doubt big Mike was confused as are all of us.

Of course this doesn't explain her crazy I want you, I push you away that she was doing all the way to the airport departure.

I can appreciate that because I think it's practical. I'd much rather hear Natalie say that she cares about him but wants their relationship to grow than to hear Robert and Anny say they're in love after 8 hours...

I mean, she shouldn't have been pushing the kid thing right now regardless-whether she loved him or not. That was just crazy. 

I'm also #TeamAnny

I agree about the "relationships take time to grow" aspect, but it seems to me that earlier she was telling him how much she loved him.

Her hot and cold switcheroo behavior tonight was beyond weird, as well as her expectations of an apology from him. However, on second thought, her eyes do appear to be protruding, which is a symptom of hyperthyroidism, which is often accompanied by mood swings and emotional instability.

I did like Emily's second dress, and the pearl headpiece was beautiful. That mirror was strange; it had a beige tone that changed the color of the dress as well as Emily's complexion.

It's really hard to make a relationship work when one person is a partier, and the other isn't. Not only is Jasmin not a partier, but she doesn't even like Blake to have a drink. Not sure how that is going to work. It was pretty shitty of her to make him go to a different place for dinner, and then DITCH him altogether. I felt for Blake a bit in that moment, but ultimately, he shouldn't have let her go by herself, IMO. He could have compromised somehow, but he basically told her he was going to get wasted, which was a dumb move. They both ended up where they wanted to be though, I guess.

I am completely floored how Micheal and Julianna's wedding cost what the wedding planners were quoting. 40K to 100K? That is just completely not possible. IMO.

I get hanging out with your partner's friends and I get having to do things outside your own comfort zone sometimes. But Blake wanted Jasmin to go to the pre-game and the party. I pre-game when I go out. Sometimes I pre-game so hard that I don't make it to the main event because SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS!!1 but that's what a pre-game is. Like how Jersey Shore had the shirt before the shirt, the pre-game is the drunkfest before the drunkfest (usually at your or someone else's home because the point is to get lubed up and tipsy before you show so you don't spend as much money when you're out).

Jasmin doesn't drink. She's weirdly puritanical about poison you ingest versus the poison you inject in your face. So it makes total sense to bring the teetotaler to the pre-game, the main event, and (no doubt) the after-party*. Like, I'm terrified of heights - you can't even lift me off the ground without me screaming and thinking I'm going to die (I'm also super tall so it's a long way to the ground, okay?). So the last place that people would invite me to would be a sky-diving date. I mean, Jasmin was a little OTT about the whole thing what with the "no kissing"/"ew, gross" reaction and laying down of the rules but damn, Blake. Read the room. Know your audience. Tell your friends, "Hey, so Jasmin-with-an-S isn't big on the Bacardi and the sauce is not her scene, so I'll fly solo to your b-day bash but how about she and I take you for a recovery brunch the next day?"

* I honestly think that either this was made-for-TV drama or that Blake accepted the invite on Jasmin's behalf even though he knew it was going to be a drunkfest and she wouldn't be down so she was trying to weasel her way out without having to smack him with a, "Your friends are drunks and I want nothing to do with them," because that'll go over well.

I think the US Embassy thought they were being punked when Angela came to the gate, the bad outfit, the crazy demand and all.

Angela needed help getting up and she is not even pregnant, can you imagine how she would carry on if she really was to get pregnant, (just so you all know, I do not want that day to ever arrive).

Ukranian Blonde has these relationship scenarios play out in her head and when Mike does not "read his lines" correctly she gets upset, I think she has seen too many rom-coms and Mike has not seen any rom-coms.  

Has Mike told Natalie about Uncle Bojangles living in the shed?  

The Finnish Girl is joyless, she what the plans were for that evening and she made sure that Broke Blake would not enjoy it. I think Broke Blake has money for booze because it is something he wants...other than their own place what has Jasmine asked for that she is not getting?  Also, can we please chip in for an outfit for Jasmine that does not look like a long line girdle and sports bra?

Whether Blake is a drunk or not, and I really don't think he is...I mean Darcy was often obviously drunk on camera, the main point is simply that he and fish face have absolutely no basis upon which to build a relationship.  And while her sister was being supportive, it was fairly obvious to me that she also felt Jasmin needs to loosen the hell up.

 

Tania.  OMG.  The ferocious dislike I feel toward her is pretty intense.  I question the intelligence of going for some sort of mystical spiritual astrological reading with someone who you don't feel you can at least lie about being your soul-mate. I mean it seems like the potential is high for that sort of issue to come up there.  I feel like if you love a person, such that you are wanting a long term relationship with them including having children, and you are asked about the "soul mate situation," YOU SAY YOU ARE SOUL MATES!  lol.  Just lie!  If you can't do that then you don't really want the relationship because as Seinfeld said, that's a pretty big matzo ball...

So Annie knew one month before she came to the US Robert had 5 kids and she came to the US anyway even though she said that was too much for her but here she is in the US!

I think these couples are shining a light on how bad the K1 process is or should I say how much it is abused, all we see are people that want a sex toy and people that want out of their country so bad they are willing to be a sex toy.  There is no way Sister Robert and Brother Robert can think anything other than Annie is using Robert to get a green card, she has consistently complained about how he lied to her, he is broke, his living situation is horrible, he has not money and she is unhappy but she is still here, hanging on by a thread.

Mike & The Demon - I'm not sure if Satan disguised as hot puss won't be drawing Mike back in. It's so weird how she pushes and pulls, telling him she doesn't love him, then pawing him everywhere, or saying atheists are scary then sitting sideways on his lap. "We need to work on love" then throwing the ring back. Or telling him precise instructions how he should have reacted to her antics to please her "in my perfect word he would have etc."  Girl has major Borderline Personality Disorder. Everything is a freakin' test with this chick. Did anyone notice the weird way she turns her head? Always in a fast 90 degree angle - she spins it like The Exorcist.

Agree 100%. 

Looking back, I feel like Natalie thought, if Mike thought he was losing her, she'd get her way about religion, baby, whatever her real goal is here. She'd get an apology, followed by being swept off her feet and taken off on a white horse to live happily ever after, Mike having changed into a Prince Charming costume.  Or something like that.

Re: Angela’s track marks.  If it was just henna, she wouldn’t have the indentations that she has in her TH, which was filmed much later. 
I did a lot of research into facial laser treatments, and in the end, decided to do nothing, as the horror stories are awful.  Those track marks are an unfortunate common one, with a less trained technician + too high of heat. 
Those marks are the head of the laser unit itself.  Many people have those on their face, and the indentations remain for the rest of their lives.  
One message board I’m on, a girl committed suicide (her mom found the account & told us).  
You can’t sue for this either, as it’s cosmetic, and you willingly sign that paper.

Irony of ironies - Jasmin's equally lifeless sister has a plaque in her kitchen that reads "Live life to the fullest."

Do you suppose that includes occasionally using (gasp!) seasonings?

I have it on good authority that she has a stash of both salt and pepper. when she's really feeling wild, she has a sprig of parsley.

I agree with you to a degree @mamadrama .  In comparison to Alla and Matt, Natalie is all over the place.  Alla never said to Matt she loved him at all.  Natalie sent him videos saying she loves him (remember the little heart thing she did for him?)  Is she being practical ? Yes. But IMHO she is just bouncing back and forth.   (while he's away I love you, I miss you. Then when he's there, oh I care for you and love will grow).

Overall, Natalie is a major drama queen and Mike had no need to apologize for the fight at all.  I wonder if this is her way of exercising control over him?

I am also #TeamAnny

Maybe it's just me but I got so bored last night I only watched the first hour.  I used to love this show and be really entertained by it.    Watching the new episode then going on line to snark about everyone was one of my favorite things.  This season  is becoming a chore for me to sit through.  It doesn't help that a lot of the scenes come off as fake and badly acted.  Oh well, maybe the new season will be more entertaining.

So it has been 2 years that Mah-kul and Big Ang have been together and in that time Angela has told him to stop work and she would send him money because of you know, women.  Mah-kul could have had 2 + years to earn some money to add to the K1 visa process or at least had some money in his pocket when he finally lands in the US, what sort of mindset does Big Ang have? Is it she has more power because she has more money and can lord it over Mah-kul?  I feel for that guy, his life will forever be answering to Angela's whims because she will always equate his very existence with the fact she brings home the paycheck.

Hah, Angela has to bring the family gifts every time she walks in to their homes, I would have brought flowers.  Maybe scamming is the family trade.

It isn't just you, I haven't made it through an entire episode in weeks, as much as I enjoy the live snark. Mussel and Anna, I lost interest immediately, Blake and Jasmin barely have a story line, Grangela needs to go away forever.  Juliana and Michael....zzzzzz.

So I'm left with my loathing for Tania, scorn towards Natalie, gross misogynist Robert.  We need more of Porn star grandma. I'd watch Mycull in his own show, finding a decent woman.

Robert’s brother is an ass. Accusing Anny of being a former hooker?! Good for her for leaving that situation. If I were her I’d get on the next flight out. 

Prostitutes know how to use condoms, which is something Robert and his brother seem to be clueless about.

Mother Makel drew a blank when Botox was mentioned. Perhaps she though it was a fertility treatment. How ignorant of basic biology are these people? Makel isn't starting a family her. I hope his visa is denied for his own sake and to teach Grangela a lesson.

Because they don't know what botox is or because they think Angela can carry a pregnancy to term? Botox is very much a first world thing. As for getting pregnant over 50, it happens. Usually it's with a IVF or IVF with donated eggs, but sometimes it's via natural conception. My Nigerian grandma had her last kid at 50. My aunt is the same age as my oldest brother and oldest cousin. Rachael Harris, an actress from Lucifer, had a naturally conceived child at 50. Brigitte Nielson had a naturally conceived child at 54. They likely don't treat their bodies like a garbage dump the way Angela does, but it can happen. A 74 year old in India just gave birth to twins using IVF and probably donated eggs. I think Michael's family thinks it's not likely that she'll be able to give him a child that's also biologically hers, which is why they keep mentioning him finding a girl in Nigeria. But there's no polite way to say you're too fucking old to have a baby.

And really the big issue is that Angela is adamant that she won't stand for having a child around who isn't biologically related to her. So even if Michael found someone else to donate an egg, Angela wouldn't go through wwth it. Angela is trying to trap him with a baby. It's the same shit she would have pulled 20 years ago.

I literally have no idea where one would need to go in Lagos to buy flowers. They are just not as available as they are in the states. There's probably some place on Victoria Island. Other than that, it's probably easier to go to one of the better hotels and offer them $200 for one of their floral arrangements. I suspect they ended up buying small appliances because Angela is the precise kind of person to throw a fit and cause a ruckus at a large open market.

Everything Angela does with Michael is about manipulation and control. It's why she sends him money, but it's dependant on him acquiescing to her every demand and being available 24/7 to talk to her.

Where do I begin?  Ok not in any way to be mean but that baby is the biggest baby I have ever seen!!!  He's huge.

The twin plastic surgery sisters.  I keep waiting for their faces to crack when they talk like in a science fiction movie!I

Whatever is Blake attracted to?  I have a hard time visualizing any sex scene with those too.  Gives me chills.

I did hope Julianne 's parents would show up as a surprise.  Color me disappointed for that beautiful bride.  I do love the relationship between her and his son and daughter.  Sweet!I

Mike better take a huge step back because that sexy girl he so enjoys in the sack is sure coo coo for cocoa pops!  She's the crazy Russian we read about!

Angela and Michael seem to provide entertainment without opening their mouth!  The visuals tell the tale!  What was that on her chest???
