S07.E12: I Do and I Don't Know

maybe it's just me, but I find the way these people are posed to be kind of strange.  the groom with his arm across the son's chest like that?  his ex's arm sort of down on her daughter's hip, her husband/lover(?) leaning in with his arms behind his back? 

It looks like the parents were so drunk that they were holding onto the kids for balance.  And Sarah is not only holding onto her daughter, her new husband is leaning into her to give counterbalance.

Also, she makes herself sound so appealing as a future citizen of our country.  Do we really need extra plastic sitting around taking up space and doing nothing for our society?  

Can someone PLEASE tell me why is he marrying her?  There is nothing in it for him.  Is there?  She’s lazy,entitled, and looks like a robot.  She hates his lifestyle,his friends, his drinking, food, his Mother, everything.  Send her back.  He’s too nice for her.

Back in the day, I'd only go with "if looks could kill" when the old folks would wait until:

• the order was completely rung up,
• the receipt was printed,
• the cashier would announce the total,
• and the oldster then - and not until - would slowly dig through a purse for the checkbook, which (for reasons I've never understood) had 10 rubber bands wrapped around it,
• look for a pen (which they never seemed to have),
• ask what the date was,
• slowly write out the name of the store,
• ask the cashier to repeat the amount,
• and then complete the check and sign it.

Justifiable homicide.  Not a juror under 60 would vote to convict.

I've been trying to figure out what was so familiar about Jasmine's mouth.  It's exactly like Grumpy Cat's (apparently Grumpy Cat actually had a personality though.)

No plastic Jasmine frowns - that's doin' sweet Grumpy a bad...  RIP that sweet Grumpy face (the furry one) >:-<.

(ETA: & RIP Jasmine's real face)

He's much better looking than Michael, mostly because his skin is alive and not the pasty pallor of both Michael and Sarah. Speaking of Sarah, could she have looked any more haggard at the wedding event? And why is her neck so weak that she can't keep her head up? It kept falling over on her shoulder. 

During her later TH, her body swaying and twisting back and forth was odd. She couldn't hold her head up off her shoulder then either. 

Some other possible bingo boxes: He/she is the love of my life. My kids are the most important thing in my life. One more time and I'm outta here. I can't wait for you to meet my family/friends. I've sacrificed EVERYTHING for you. Family is the most important thing in my country. 

I'm standing by my earlier comment that I believe Jasmine's parents are paying Blake to marry their vanilla weird daughter; it's some sort of immigration scam. That's why she has no problem saying she has no plans on working, and why there is no chemistry between her and Blake. 

Ugliest person on this season? Emily, who looks like a vampire Tiny Tim. And her speaking cadence is extra irritating. 

Hahaha

I remember Nah-tah-lee’s little mother calling Naht her Golden Child and I cringed.  Of course she is.  She is their ticket to the promised land.  Once Naht gets to the US and she is pregnant, Naht will whine incessantly to have Big Mike spend his last credit card mile to ship Momma over as well.  
Same goes for Jazzmin.  Her parents see their 2 daughters in LA as a step to getting there themselves.  I’m really surprised that the sister wasn’t there for the family lunch.  I wanted to see them all blink Finnish Morse code at each other mocking and raking Blake and his mother over the coals.  
Other thoughts: I wonder if Uncle Bojangles is contributing part of his SSI payment to the farm upkeep.  Get him some dentures or something so he can eat some protein!  And why isn’t there a rambunctious pack of farm dogs running around the property and barn cats galore?  Where is everything?

She was, I thought?  I think she arrived with the parents and was sitting across from Jasmin at the table, but didn't say much.  She must have been so boring she blended right in with the decor, ha!

I think you answered your own question. Bojangles gets his protein from eating the farm dogs and barn cats. But those were finished long ago and now he subsists solely on Sunday pancakes and the occasional opossum.

I’m convinced that it was Sarah’s idea for Micheal and Juliana be on the show which is why she is on as much as Michael.  Wouldn’t be surprised if she is hoping for a show of her own.   Michael just seems to be over it all. 

[hookedontv]

I'm not sure I can add anything that already hasn't been said. But I have to voice one comment about Tania:

TANIA IS THE WORST! She's so fake, she tries sooooooo hard to be special and different and "not the norm" - the lady doth protest too much. If she feels she has to constantly prove to the world that she's so woke and hippy-dippy and wants to stick it to the man, it's all for show. Tania's just not as "extra" as she wants the world to believe. 

And she shouldn't be in a relationship. Tania is incredibly selfish and lacks so much insight. 

PS: Comment about Sarah - I think she's drunk or on something 24/7.

Jasmine is vapid and boring.*. 

I don't think any rich American dude is interested in a woman who is boring, not particularly attractive and is going to refuse to kiss them if they had a beer.  She is not pretty enough to get away with having so little personality.  

Worldwide, there is high demand for and a low supply of rich men who have the means and desire to fund a stay at home trophy wife. 

If such a unicorn is looking for a mate, there are plenty of young women who are just as fit, a lot prettier and won't be such a succubus.  

But obviously Jasmine should be been looking for such a man of means.  Which makes me wonder if Blake oversold his career and living situation to her. 

Did she think that anytime someone said "music producer" or "co owner of a music label" that it meant said person had Diddy or Russell Simmons wealth?

Talk about getting financially catfished!

*It has nothing to do with her stance on personal sobriety.  

Agreed. If Jasmine aspires to be a trophy wife she has to earn her keep. By being not only beautiful (ha!), but charming, a good companion, a good hostess, and arm candy. Not a vapid plastic slug with no conversation, no wit, no charm.

I can't participate in the Rice a Roni Live Feed snarkfest because I live on the West Coast, but I read it every week because it is hilarious!  Some posters were mentioning Bingo cards, which I think is a fantastic idea, especially seeing how we have a new season coming up.  I was thinking we should list the ideas for the Bingo card, either here or on a separate thread and then ask for the help of some tech-savvy individual to create them.  The live snarkers were coming up with some great Bingo squares, but I'll leave it for them to post them here (their due credit).  What do you think?

"My kids are my first priority."

 

(raising hand) I know I'm one! I did a bunch for "My 600 Pound Life" recently. Also suggest:

Pushy, in your face American friend or family member, who is suspicious of the foreign fiance/e's motives

Weird food

90 days isn't a very long time to know if we're really doing the right thing!

Use of the phrase "figure it out"

Visit to an immigration lawyer

Talk of a second wedding in fiance's home country

Use of the phrase "step up" or the word "provide"

Bridal shop scene

Let me see the texts first.  A lot of people like to talk big but can't back it up.  

And even if the producers asked her to do this, she still AGREED to do this.

What’s this I hear about having to wait 2 weeks for the next new episode? 🤔 I guess TLC didn’t want to “waste” a new epi on Super Bowl Sunday.

Following up on @Pepper Mostly bingo post, we need to include:

referring to/calling Fiancé as mommy or daddy

reference to sexy time and whether it was good or not

big secret that is being kept from Fiancé 

In other news, have we witnessed Juliana wearing that horrendous necklace that Michael had custom made for her? Yeah, didn’t think so.

It always makes me giggle when I hear Morsel say "chock" because it reminds me of that little caveman guy from the old Land of the Lost series, Chaka. He and his whole caveman family's whole rudimentary language was built around the word 'chock.' Hence, the character's name. LOL!

The difference is RBG’s is comforting and endearing, probably because of all the wisdom and no-bullshit attitude. Jasmine’s is freaky and unpleasant since she has the personality of a wet diaper.
