S04.E01: Love Can't Wait

[Kiss my mutt]

eBay must be pretty lucrative for Yolanda if she’s supporting all those kids. Hopefully the adult ones are contributing. Not sure if they all live there though.

That’s what this century needed, another Lou Bega.

Ed’s mayonnaise hair mask was classic Before the 90, in the grand tradition of Paul’s penis sheath and Darcey’s airport bathroom makeover. I respect that. But I will still never eat an egg salad sandwich for the rest of my life.

If you liked Lou bega's "mambo #9" you'll love usmans "baby girl anonymous, I love you #72"

Ed and Rosemarie - find a cute woman in the area where you take your dog Teddy for a walk. Rosemarie is 30 years younger than you and that age difference can be a bit creepy.  She seems evasive, cuts the conversation when you ask her anything about her background. Red flags. Also a single parent to a young child.

The hair mayo doesn't do much - go to a hair salon and ask your stylist what kind of product you should be using. I'd like nice buttery 1000 thread count sheets too, but not in the budget at this time. Some of the problem with your rash may be the laundry soap or fabric softener residue and you may just need to switch to unscented products.

Rosemarie is probably using you to get out of a desperate circumstance.

.....or maybe he has an egg allergy and is  regularly slathering his head in mayonnaise.....just spitballin' here, LOL

I'm sure big Ed can find lots of cute women.  A cute woman can do better than Ed, particularly since he is a cheater.  

Of course Rosemarie is using Ed to get out of a desperate situation.  He knows this and is using it to date a woman thirty years younger and way out of his league.  

This is the nature of the transactional relationship he is looking for.  He doesn't want someone in his league or age range, and he isn't elon musk, Jeff bezos or even carrot top so he has to find a desperate woman overseas. 

And knowing all this, he will whine and cry about how she is superficial because  she "only wants him for a green card" when he only wants her for her youth and beauty.

Exactly.  I'm shocked someone who has a skin condition and is prone to rashes is slathering mayo all over their head knowing how common egg allergies are and how people can develop allergies as they age.  My dad is now allergic to avocados.....in his 70s.....what a blow he has been dealt!  No instagrammable avocado toast for him!

Your body changes every 7 years or so. I developed a seafood allergy in my 20s. I can barely walk by the fish area at the grocery store without itching. Former coworkers being thoughtless asses heated up fish in the microwave regularly. After enough Benadryl, I complained and a sign went up to not microwave fish there.

Oh! So he sold weed at the smoke pit in high school and still hooks up his friends with shwaggy shit and thinks he's the big time now. Got it. 

I can't figure it out: maybe TLC had some moral stance against showing actual weed? Or are they just showing us how easily she falls for a scam?

My Gawd.  The cringe factor this season is HIGH really early in the game.  Between mayo hair treatment, lack of condom usage, MJ leaves, age distortion, preteen emoji texting, text dictation, and waxing, I am dying laughing. 

I had lunch with a friend today that watches the show and we cannot wait for more of the Darcey trainwreck.  Eventually, we'll get a to a place where it is more sad than funny, but...here we goooo!

Ed and Lisa are so far in the running for biggest initial WTF.  The lady from Vegas and the non-British guy may work b/c of the rule on this show of 2 lies=all good. 

[mamadrama]

So Big Ed needs 1000 threadcount sheets because of his skin condition and yet he's able to wear what appears to be regular cotton tops?

[mamadrama]

After watching several seasons of this I feel like I could easily catfish a woman for money...

1. Find some stock photos of good-looking dudes. 

2. Pretend my camera is broken. 

3. Use a voice changing software for phone calls.

4. Send lots of emojis every day. 

5. Refer to my lady love with "pet names" so that I don't have to worry about accidents when I forget to whom I am speaking. 

6. Write a generic song or poem and substitute names as needed. 

7. Make up family or personal tragedy and be specific about cost. 

8. Create a fake social media profile. 

9. Have no real in-depth conversations but make sure I tell her how much I love her every day.

Unless you get the super-expensive 1000 thread count sheets, you probably wouldn't notice much over 400-500 thread count. What helped my skin/winter eczema was changing to unscented detergent/softener/dryer sheet and buying a humidifier.

Have you tried dryer balls instead of sheets? There's no residue and they work about as well as dryer sheets. Plus you can use them for something like 400 loads, and there's no trash.

Yolanda should have asked her internet savvy kids about "Williams" sending her a DM on Instagram. I intermittently get strangers wanting to communicate with me on Instagram and I block them. And I mostly post pictures of my cats on Instagram.

I was always home on Saturday nights (le sigh) so Love Boat and Fantasy Island were the must see TV for me. 

Me too. My Saturday night lineup was:  “BJ. and The Bear”, “Love Boat” and “Fantasy Island”.  In those days, we only had one T.V., so we’d all gather in the living room. I missed those days and my Dad.

Most of these participants are fairly good looking and seem normal. I can’t help but wonder why they had to go this route to meet a mate. Clearly, Yolanda doesn’t know a British accent.

Big Eds t-shirt was filthy during the close ups!  It had lint, dog hair and food stains all over it.

His mother is nice and smart and wise.  He must be her Waterloo!  They look like money!

I have watched several of Dr Phil's shows where men and women are scammed out of thousands of dollars.  They won't believe the scammers aren't real even when presented with evidence.

What's wrong with people?

Will his new girl take over the dogs backpack seat on the scooter or will they be a three some!  Things I ponder.  😎

Has Yolanda ever *HEARD* a British accent??!! 

Because that ain't it! 

Williams sounds like he's nigerian also.

Have you seen the episode where the dude was totally convinced that he'd been chatting with Katy Perry for several years? Even flying him to England and introducing him to the catfish couldn't sway him from thinking it was all just a setup by Katy herself and that he was still talking to her. 

The delusion is strong with some people.

Seattle Avery (not to be confused with the other Avery who married the dentist from Syria) is single for a reason. It was obvious from the few minutes we saw of her that she's ultra high-maintenance and a bit of a nutjob. In fact her ex-bf said she was nuts.

Manchester is full of good-looking women, so if Yolande's beau was real, he'd have no problem finding a woman closer to home. Definitely a catfish.

The Nigerian (c)rap singer only wants a green card so he can become a rap megastar in the USA, Both he and Angela Mk II are delusional.

How many times has Knoxville man been married? I'd love to know. As Judge Judy would say, his picker is broken. And he's living proof that he's unable to sustain a long-term relationship. I'm sad he lost his baby son, but could have done without the deathbed photo, even though it was blurred.

I am the same height as Big Ed, although the resemblance stops there. I couldn't help thinking of this whenever I saw him.

 

4”11 or 5”2? Big Ed is heightening up.

Its absolutely ridiculous to me that you have to promulgate people into basic manners.  You know reheating cabbage and fish is going to stink, why must you be told not to do that in the workplace.  Basic manners!  Like covering your coughs!

My thought about Yolanda and her resale business is that something does not ring true, she has 6 kids living in what seems like a small house yet there is no clutter, no photos, no personal effects, the one closet we saw was half empty, she shops for items to resell on Ebay, where is her stock?  Where are her mailing supplies or even her computer?

The fact that there are 6 kids and no piles of school stuff, mail, coats or shoes lying around makes me wonder how and why that is. I am sure they are sharing rooms, closest would be on overload.  

BTW, next time I get a text about meeting up with a friend I am going to answer "Yes, mmmm." We need to see more of that wordsmith.

I am getting a gay vibe off Tennessee man with "so many marriages" or whatever he said that made us all wonder just how many there were. But his love interest seems like one of the coolest chicks we've seen from overseas so far. Is he trying to convince himself he's not gay by going through a buffet of chicks? 

About Yolanda: In most cases people believe their love interest's camera is broken yet that person is still able to update their Insta and FB with photos. Do they justify it by saying the pics are old?  I have to give Yolanda props, though, because she refused to send Williams money. So she gets a little bonus for that.

Yolanda gets what she deserves. Another one chasing someone out of their league. Weight loss or not, she’s punching above her weight with that dude. Who most decidedly does not have an English accent! She seems to have a sweet personality, a supportive family, and she looks good for her age. She could find someone local, or at her church. But nope, she wants the model. So she gets what she gets and I have no sympathy. Unless it’s all an act like last season’s Caesar. 

 I haven’t read through all the comments yet, but the Tennessee guy doesn’t ping anyone’s radar as being gay? Is it the little lisp in his voice that’s making me think that? I don’t know he just seems off to me.

I wish mine did! I've brought it up a few times to HR in the 15 years I've been there and even sent links showing that it's a fairly standard don't and usually on office etiquette lists but, for whatever reason, they don't want to go along with it. I wish I could be compensated for the lunches I've had to go outside the workplace for because of the lunchroom being intolerable! I love Brussels sprouts but would never bring them to work. Hmmm, maybe I should say I've developed an allergy. It really does make me nauseous. We also had a no fragrance policy established years ago because a couple of people had serious allergies to certain chemicals but even that's never been enforced.
