Do you suppose that Angela got Michael into the US before the increased travel restrictions for Nigeria?

I hope not because I want to see her tased by Secret Service agents after she tries to storm the White House demanding her tax-paying meemah rights. I'm sure they will try and wrestle her down first, which will be hilarious on it's own, but she's not going down without a fight and tasers will be deployed.

Viewers deserve to witness this.

I really want to play  "Guess cost of wedding for Michael and Julianna"  since I had to go through with this a few years ago with our daughter.   I think it came in at less than $25k. (theirs, not ours).

I have no ideas but you should take a look at the other wedding photos for your estimates. It may not make a difference but there are additional reception photos that were not on the episode. There are ten slides, click the arrow on the right side to advance. Some are hard to see.

Well, I'll have to say that after all that I've seen so far, these are my LEAST favorite characters, I mean fiances. lol

Natalie;

Anny; (Robert's fiance) and

Jasmine.   

There are others that I'm not wild about like Anna and Tania, but, there are times that I can tolerate them.  The 3 above, not so much.

She’s sticking her nose in their business and getting paid by the show.  Her kids also.  I don’t think ANY kids should be subjected to this show.

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."

 

Discussion of Bingo Cards have been moved to Small Talk, along with .....a link to Bingo Cards!!!  Thanks, everyone!

.. HOn more horrible news.. my brother's dog, SIMON.. is not long for this world.  The damn guy lived for almost 17 years without a problem.  He's older than my nephews..  Went to a Vet and he is still eating and drinking, but it won't be long.  I cried for an hour.  Pets are family.. My brother would never shed a tear.. I do it for him.  God Bless Simon (his sister only lived to be 11).  West Highland Terriers (like the on on the commercial)

I had to put my 14.5yo dog down a couple of weeks ago. Drove her to the emergency vet in a snowstorm, one that I would have never gone out in but she was so important to me. I’m sorry about Simon. Clearly, he was well-loved and he will be missed. When I was a girl, pets were just pets. Now they are beloved members of our families and we mourn for them just as we would for any relative. 

I offer my sincerest condolences.

It is odd.  I have given up Bravo, so, TLC is my only remaining guilty pleasure network.  It's next on my list for the AX though. lol

[mamadrama]

Julianna looked pretty at the wedding. Can confirm that she is just as beautiful, maybe more so, in real life. Can also confirm that Michael is just as pasty and bleached doughy in real life, maybe more so.

TLC is the only cable I watch (boys =sport). I can go munts without watching Dr Now and his travelling sideshow, but it is a guilty indulgence. Watched the one where she had the op and she put on weight and had this weird little husband. No one beats JamesK or Asanti

But who?  She doesn't have a personality.  A rich American guy who wants to support some hot young thang isn't going to want someone as joyless as Jasmine.  Especially since she really isnt that pretty and wouldn't let HIM out to drink.  

Sadly, Blake may have been the best she could do at this point. 

I think it’s Blake’s proximity to her sister that attracted Jasmine to him. I suspect she deliberately sought out someone instead who lived relatively near her sister’s place. 
 

I still dont understand how Metamucil is allowed back into the US. Anna said they had six hours after he landed to get married. He could easily not get married, disappear from Anna’s home and hide out from immigration , refusing to return to Turkey.

Yeah, the first two episodes featured then trying too hard.  But it's Trainwreck TV and I think the sisters....overall are more complex and human than I initially thought.

[Christina]

I was trying to remember the couples on this season and who is married versus who is not, because I think there is only one episode left. I couldn't remember the couples without that thread.

Married:

Emily and Sasha

Michael and Juliana

Robert and Anny (The preview has them standing to marry and him saying something like, "I can't do this right now..." or something that I'm sure ends with "without Bryson standing with us..." so I'm putting him at married.

 

Not Married:

Mike and Natalie

Tania and Syngin

Blake and Jasmin

Angela and Michael

Anna and Mursel

So there is one episode left and six couples left to marry? Mike/Natalie and Angela/Michael appear to be "not married on this season" so that leaves four couples to marry or not to marry. Robert/Anna seems to be a sure thing, it would be too funny for Anna/Mursel to run out of time before their I dos, so they'll be married because we can't have nice things. I'm super uninterested in any of these couples or if they marry or not.

Robert and Anny come across to me as a couple that genuinely like each other. Their storyline has been a repeat of Colt and Larissa, without the violence, and neither came across well, but they just scream overacting to me. We are to believe that Robert works as a ride-share driver (yes, I know that is not his primary job), has five kids she didn't know about until right before she walked into the hearing, even though she had been through his FB account and took issue with the photos of him with the mothers of the children still showing, but didn't realize their were a total of five kids? And that Robert promised her an iPhone 10 and designer shopping spree as an Uber driver? Sure, Jan.

Anny seems to really like Bryson, too, so I hope this is a positive marriage. She also claims to want more sex from Robert, which is impossible to imagine as anything other than frauding. They also just dropped half their story, like the apartment shopping. Anny has an iPhone, probably not a 10, someone on Reddit has cataloged her clothing as not designer but not cheap, either, and someone has suggested that the bedroom layout supported a toddler bed next to their bed and back where the cameraman was standing when filming Anny's lingerie modeling on her second night in Florida. I think they may be a legitimate relationship that is actually going to try to stay married, and Anny isn't just biding her time for a Green Card. 

I also think Syngin is going to try and make a marriage work because I think he is every bit as big of a lazy grifter as Tania. Mohamed eventually used the truck driving training he received through a charity when he first arrived in the country to become gainfully employed and I can see Syngin finding something he enjoys and working too, but don't see any follow through coming out of Tania. Even though I get a kick out of him calling her on her shit, I still can't muster any energy to care if they marry or not. 

None of the other couples should marry so it pretty much guarantees that they will.

At first when Juliana hadn’t heard from her family on her wedding day, I thought they might be there to surprise her, then I remembered how other couples were unable to bring relatives over due to visa problems. 

[Jax7917]

Brysons porn grandparents are so thirsty for reality fame , it’s ridiculous . The things they say are so non sensical and calculated . Don’t get me wrong , Anny is a witch , but they are just mind boggling to watch . 
 

mike can’t find anyone NOT in Ukraine who’s psycho and bratty ? come on , there’s plenty to go around in the US . 
 

Emily and Sasha - I give their marriage until the reunion episode . Once he hits the gym and meets more women , he’ll be onto marriage and baby number 4. 
 

Mikes ex wife says all the right things , but she’s annoying AF. Idk what it is , maybe her voice and expressions .. but I can’t stand her.

I think it’s because she just doesn’t seem authentic. It’s like she wants the audience to believe she is so cool and chill and wants us think they’re the Gwyneth Paltrow-Chris Martin of the Greenwich, CT set but it’s a total fail because  we’re professional tv watchers and can spot a phony a mile away. My guess is that she’s hoping TLC renews the contract or builds a show around this new “modern” family.

[Kiss my mutt]

I must be the odd person out but the two week break from the show made me realize how little I care about this season anymore. I’m sure I’ll get sucked in tomorrow though. Lol

It was a weird time to take a two week hiatus because we're pretty much at the end of the season, right?  I think it would have been better to time it so that this season finished before the Superbowl and awards and then before the 90 days was introduced after that hiatus.

I would think more of the 90 Days audience watches the Oscars than the Super Bowl.

SO sorry to read this!!  Westies are the best.  I had two...both lived long and happy lives, but I still cry whenever I think about them (now have huge goofy country rescue).  My first Westie died a month after my Dad; the second died a month after my mom. I tried to spin it to myself that they were "together in heaven", but, yikes.  

So sorry for your loss  😞

Wait....should this be in Small Talk?  Feel free to move the post!

Robert and Anny... they were definitely different towards each other, I’m  starting to think they knew each other much more than the one day they supposedly spent. I think we got played with these two. 

[JustAFinn]

As a Finn i have to tell you guys; Like Jasmin, I am also not work-oriented 😄 (really!). I like to sit on my ass, clean the house, do my own things. And in Finland it is just too easy to do so; I am 36 years old and have basically never worked in my life. I have a college degree, but it´s useless in the city where I live at. I OWN a house, eat well etc. My spouse is not rich and i have never inherited anything. The social benefits can be just so good, that if you´re a bit smart you can live a pretty high-standard life even if your main job is to find your inner peace 😄 Also, any level of education is free in Finland so even as a mother of 3 i have absolutely no worries. But I have to agree that Jasmin is just weird. We finns are a bit introverted and hate small talk, but fuck no are we like her. There is something very fucked up about her.

[goofygirl]

Question is: DO you find your inner peace? When?

Good God Jax. Get over it, you asshat!
