S04.E13: The Pleasure Principle

[nb360]

I hate that little smug, self-satisfied smile that was on Geoffrey's face in the "next time" scenes. This is why Varya should not have gone to the U.S. Geoffrey just wants two women fighting over his criminal a__.

Ed has been kind of quiet online for the last few days.  I think that he expected to become at the very least a celebrity because of this show.  The negativity and backlash he is now experiencing surprised him.  He thought the audience would find him charming and quirky but instead the audience is seeing him as manipulative and creepy.

GOOD.

[Frozendiva]

One ep left before the tell-all?

Ed and Rosemarie: She left, doofus. She told you she was done. You were lucky that she did not pour the mouthwash over your suitcase. You screwed up, you treated her poorly, and she stood up for herself. Interesting that you can change your plane ticket easily. Wonder how much it cost to do so. Might not have been too much for the resort island but to rebook the trip to America must have cost a pretty penny.

Stephanie and Erika: I get the idea of breaking up in-person and that it is fair to the other party, but that was a lot of cab fare to get to Adelaide. Erika, you are better off with someone who will appreciate your quirkiness, you joie de vivre, and not someone weighing you down with her 'illness'. I don't think Steph was even really attracted to you. Just wanted attention. Erika's mom is great. Didn't understand why Erika has a huge shoe closet at her parents' home, though.

Ash and Avery: Ash, when you have a serious conversation with someone, you put some clothes on. You have repeatedly lied to Avery - about your ex-wife, moving your son to the US, when you got your divorce. My sister's husband put off getting his divorce for a while, but my sister knew about it. She wasn't fed a story. Avery is asking all the right questions as she doesn't want to get in to a bad situation. Ash just keeps spinning his web of deceit and maybe promises he'd like to make, but not intend to keep.

Geoffrey and Varya: Geoff sure got over his 'soulmate' quickly and disposed of Varya nicely. You turned me down, you turned down your lotto win, and now I will not speak to you. Not all people are ready to get married as quickly as you wanted. For me, that would have set off a lot of red flags - why so fast. She had every right to look at you differently with what you told her about your criminal record. Geoff, you also give your gifts when you get home and not at the airport. How convenient that Mary is willing to take Varya's place in your life in a nanosecond. If she knows all about your record, great. Varya, you also do not show up in another country unannounced and unexpected. And not expecting to stay with Geoffrey. The dogs were unusually quiet for an intruder. Wonder if that scene was staged.

Darcey and Tom: Darcey, please do some work on yourself and find some self-worth and transcend the mistakes. You will continue to meet Jesse or Tom in other people. Get a regular job and maybe disappear for a while. Tom's friend is right about karma. However, a lot of people get to 50 and are still alone. You don't hit a magic number and then it vanishes. Tom just loves himself a lot. And being a 'celebrity'.

Baby Girl Visa and Usman: The fangs really came out today, as well as a need for a few bars of soap to wash out Lisa's mouth. Do people really talk like her - f-bombs, vulgar, rude, disrespectful, belligerent, attitude turned up to 1000%, entitlement. A walking fried hair ball of insecurity and jealousy and tantrums that she doesn't get her own way right away. Usman must really want to go to the US. He should get the courage to tell her off and that her behavior to him and his friends and family is unacceptable. It won't get better for you in the US, Usman. You are not going to be living in a big city where you can disappear. A small town, where you get Lisa's emotional abuse 24/7. Did see her limping around, though.

David and Lana: Well, she is real, or a lookalike was found to pretend to be her. Lana looks a lot older than 28, although in some shots, she does have a bit of youth.  Lots of expensive fillers and possibly plastic surgery. Some poor, shy girl who is housebound. Suuuuure. Works out in the gym, has nice clothes (all 5 outfits!), likes to shop for makeup at Sephora or a store like it. Looking for a rich husband and the opportunity to buy higher end makeup available in the US. Plus Las Vegas, where there are casinos, nightlife, shopping, etc., which David isn't in to. Doubt she'd like the RV life at this point in her life. Evasive about her 'work' on the online sites, any other relationships or sugar daddies or marks, scammees, etc. David has been to the Ukraine a few times - kinda like a Michael of wine guy type - dated several Ukrainian girls. But never bothered to take a few conversational Ukrainian courses so he could actually er, communicate with someone from that country. Just emojis on the App. Maybe only the Ukrainian girls interest him - can use a translator App, get what he wants, and doesn't have to talk much. Granted, he doesn't seem to talk about much anyway. I also noticed the Victoria's Secret bag - a gift for him, probably. Did Lana ask him to buy some stuff for her from there? He came across as creepy.

Yolanda and Williams: I forgot about them and her stupid storyline. He was 'in pains'. Yeah, Brits really speak like that. Show me a photo of you but I use a stock photo of another dude. He or they come across as uneducated. But they got a hook on the fishing line for 7 months. Go to England, Yolanda. Have some fun, but unless someone is hired to portray your great love, you won't meet him.

I'm so disappointed in TLC, having Varya travel to see Geoffrey

 

All season I thought there was something “off” about Varya. Now I think she’s straight up crazy! Hearing her argue with Mary in the previews, she appears to be unhinged and possibly violent. A Russian bunny boiler! And here we thought Geoffrey was the dangerous one!  

And Geoffrey’s mangy guard dogs were useless.

You all have said it all so all I want to say is David, Steven Segal wants his long black leather coat back as its identical to the one he wears, these days in his movies, to hide his girth. Lol

[RealReality]

Sounds like BGL has at least 50 "Williams" types who are sending her messages through Facebook.  Either that or there is some institute for the deaf and blind that she lives nearby.  Or desperate inmates.  

BGL knows full well that the only reason Usman is with her is for a green card.  And she proceeds to threaten to take it away at every turn.  I am maybe the most scared for Usman because Lisa will never let go of that means of control and subjugation.  I am certain that if he got her, she would never apply for his adjustment of status.  

Yolanda still wants to travel to England to meet Williams.  LOL.  

Stephanie continues to be the consummate victim and is able to make herself the wronged party at every turn.  Erika sacrificed for you because she told everyone about the relationship?  Well what about poor Stephanie who will suffer in silence and HAS AN ILLNESS. 

LOL a corpse would give a warmer hug than Lana gave David.  She could have been playing dead.  David sucks, I'm rooting for Lana to take all his money.  

Ed is another victim.

I'm super annoyed with the Geoffrey varya story because I'm 99% sure this was a producer driven storyline.  Varya went from "too soon" to "I'm in Knoxville and I know your address" in the span of a couple weeks?  I'm disappointed that varya took the bait.  

Are there no men in Knoxville, why does Mary want this dud so bad?  How can she know his past and still want him?

I smell producer shenanigans at play.  

This behavior doesn't fall in line with anything we've seen from varya this season.  She has been very immune to Geoffrey's mind games.  

Now suddenly she is on a plane to Knoxville?  When did she apply for her tourist visa?  Wouldn't that have taken a while to clear?  How did she get his address?  They communicate online and the phone?  How did she randomly pick a time when sour faced Mary was there? 

I think that even if varya regretted her decision, she seems like the sort who has enough pride to stay home if Geoffrey hasn't been responding to her.  If for no other reason than not to get rejected. 

Like all the problems with Geoffrey have magically melted away?  

Her weird insistence that he was going to propose and she was going to get him back just reeks of a producer telling her all that and hyping her up.  

I'm super disappointed she fell for it.  

[Dobian]

I think Usman should demand to meet every one of Lisa's 50,000 men back in the states that she passed over to be with him.

Yolanda: Send me your real pic

Williams: ...

I bet the ratings for Tom's segment went up in the second airing because everyone had to tune it to see that ridiculously young 20s cool dude outfit: skinny pants, trendy sneakers, and a gaudy sparkly Bedazzled skull on the back of his button-down. What even was that? I pointed out the skull to the husband when he was packing and all you could see was the reflection in the closet doors and we both burst out laughing when he turned in the airport so that we could see the whole Diamond painting/Ed Hardy mash-up in full glory. Tom, dude, I hope you kept the tags on that thing so you can get a refund. Yeesh. 

[antfitz]

You can tell williams is not really English. English-speaking people would not say Williams was their name,they would say William.

 Somebody said they thought TLC hired Lana to show up. And I believe it, because she sure didn't look into it.

Stephanie asked Erika to drive three hours so they could spend a few minutes sitting in uncomfortable silence, broken up by yet another of Stephanie's lame-ass apologies? I hope Erika had something fun with her friends planned for later.

[renatae]

Good grief! David and Lana have as scintillating conversation in person as online. MMM. OH! MMM! WOW. Obviously, they know nothing at all about each other and have no idea how to converse.

I'm not buying this garbage - I think she only came in order to keep him on the hook for those expensive conversations on that dating app. She was awfully cagey about some of those producer questions. It was hilarious that she didn't like his leather coat.

Usman still needs a clue. Yes, Usman, if she argues with you daily, it's not going to be any better if you marry. I'd be mad about the girl on his phone but she's grilling him like a Nazi interrogator. And of course she waits till they are in a restaurant to pounce on him. "I play a lot harder and I always win!" 🤮 She needs a muzzle. 😷

Heaven help us, "Win a date with Jesse."

Can hardly wait for next week - Varya meets whatshername.

Bye, Tom, not interested in your next relationship in the least. Bye, Ed, don't let the door hit your backside on the way out.

Yolanda, pleeease! That guy is not in England, and anybody who sends you blackmail notices should be cut off. None of this, "He got upset when I asked him this and that, so I have to walk on eggshells not to offend him. Shoot, throw🥚 at him!

Maybe they will, and Usman will dodge the bullet!

[Leilani]

Varya gets points for getting a hotel room and getting rest and a shower before meeting up but the whole arriving unannounced, getting only a hotel for one night assuming things will go well with Geoffrey has to be producer driven.

What woman in her right mind would make all these assumptions if it's true that they have not talked at all since he left Russia.

I'm so skeeved out by Varya's unexpected dive to the dark side, I attribute it to Geoffrey's manipulations.  But what on earth would get her on a plane, expecting to stay with him for two weeks with no notice whatsoever??  And there he is just weeks later(?) having moved on from a woman he claimed to be his soulmate.  This gutless pos deserves to be exposed for who he really is, I'm sorry for Varya getting involved to begin with.

David you're a gross fool.  Anyone with eyes can see that Lana is not who she appeared to be in those photographs.  And she isn't interested in building a life with you, she is not your girl.  When you find yourself back home, once again relegated to a pay website to speak to her, what then?  Between David and Caesar, fascinating looks at what men go through to somehow show they've still got it.  News flash:  you don't.

The longer the season goes, the less I believe any of the emotions and interactions with any of these people.  That being said, I still eat it up so I'm guilty of positively reinforcing this nonsense.

Erika and Rose have emerged as the winners of this pitiful contest.  Rose needs a victory parade for wiping the floor with creepy Ed, and Erika gets a medal for drop kicking the whiny-ass bitch to the curb. 

Oh, and there's an honorary mention for Erika's mom.  She made me want a hug from her too!.  I'm no youngster but I never tired of getting a hug from my mommy right up until she was no longer around.  A Mom's hug may nudge out a pint of Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream as the best way to get over a break up.

[DEL901]

Yes, David. Lana is so shy she goes to the gym in her tight fitting outfits (not criticizing her for working out and she isn’t dressing slutty, but she doesn’t look shy), and she definitely has some money for her makeup, clothes and Botox.  She talks about him being her soulmate, but I think she was referring to his bank account.  And why did he only use the translator for one sentence?

 

Varya, Varya.  There is only one reason I can think of for such an about face and that is she is pregnant.  Hope I am wrong. 
 

Ed is already working on his narrative that Rose wasn’t his true love after all.  He is conveniently ignoring the fact that he drove her away with his lies.  
 

Yolanda, Yolanda, just sign the Power of Attorney over to your children as you clearly don’t have the competence to look after your own affairs.  
 

Ash, you can’t keep telling Avery what you think she wants to hear to avoid making her mad.  If your relationship won’t survive the truth, then it isn’t much of a relationship.   Avery, time to accept that it is not going to work.  
 

Tom...Canada doesn’t want you.   Take your bedazzled shirt home and reflect on the fact that you don’t just go from woman to woman, but you overlap them just to make sure you are never not in a relationship.  
 

Usman, the Visa isn’t worth it. It she will talk to you like that on camera, what will she do off camera?  
 

eta. Erika, you are too good for Stephanie.  You have a wonderful family and are the only one on this show who came out of this season looking good.   Stephanie, your YouTube channel  might get a temporary bump from being on this show, but long term, you are in trouble because your viewers now know how inauthentic your sexy image is.

Totally with you. While we all know this whole show is pretty much tweaked and adjusted and not very real, this one I think is beyond. As someone else pointed out- the dogs didn't even bark at the car or at Varya. Is it THAT easy for Varya to come to the US? Financially ( a big factor- how did she just have the funds just like that) and  get the ability to book the flight and come here and book a hotel come on . I really really think the "producers" you know, her friends, probably also egged her on and for sure helped with the logistics.(and $$$). 

And yes, this Mary character who from the beginning was asking why she was not good enough for him yet knows his legal issues? Something is smelling VERY manufactured.

 

Oh and Mr Mayenne would not shut up every time they showed Lana he kept saying Does she look 28 to you???? I will say she looked very different in the coffee shop (much softer and prettier) than in the other scenes where she did look kind of harsh and perhaps good for 39.

This I now believe:

• Varya is an actress, and her current "role" is as a bunny boiler for TLC.  They flew her to the US, put her in a hotel for one night, paid for her to take a taxi to Geoffrey's house.  
• Geoffrey is an actor (well, we ALL knew that; check IMDB), and his current job is to stretch out the TLC paycheck for as far as he can.
• Mary was conned by TLC to re-start an old relationship that she was smart enough to not continue years ago.

Props to the disembodied voice “Williams” that has been listening for 7 months to her nonsensical ramblings and begging for compliments when she sent pictures of her stretched out and worn out “lady bits and bobs” when he asked.

No wondered Williams feigns sleepiness and fatigue when she calls..he Is actually wanting to throw himself in front of a Nigerian train to end his misery of listening to her yammer on and on...day after day...
If YoLa can’t Do a simple reverse image search then applying for a passport and paying the close to $150 in fees is out of her tech reach...

Her hair dresser should have her license revoked for Giving YoLa such an unflattering hairdo for her teevee Head shots....accentuating her bald spot was just mean.

She could have the body of a supermodel and sure, she'd get a man, but then she'd speak and quickly lose that man.

I think Lisa and Geoffrey would be perfect together!!   They could compete as to who would be the most abusive. I bet she would win.

I hate that little smug, self-satisfied smile that was on Geoffrey's face in the "next time" scenes.

No, it is “that look”  when a guy gets rock hard thinking about sexploits to come...(pun intended)

Varya servicing his left Tittitoo and Mary on his right Tittitoo....

He can check Threesome off his Bucket List...

This varies from state to state. In NYS the files are not public. Only the parties and their attorneys can look at them. You can see the fact that a file exists. Had BGL been divorced in NY she would have had a problem. 

Minnesota lists them all, not by county.  I think (and this is nothing but pure speculation):  MN would shoot you a no.  You can see a bullet listing of when you were summoned, when you went before the judge, when the final decree was granted, as anyone can look that up*, but the actual 20 to 30 page document?  Way too many privacy laws being violated.  How can you prove that is you?  How can you verify that is your email?  

*Not that I have looked up people's divorces.....who me?

Okay, for the rest of the episode:

Varya - GO HOME!  Now next week we will be subjected to Geoffrey smirking and LOVING having two women fight for him.  Varya, one does not assume anything about being able to stay on someone's home.  We all know that when he says she can't stay there ALL the hotels in Knoxville will be sold out and now...will she sleep on the couch?  Will temptations arise?  Mary:  How does it feel to be second (or in this place) 7th or 8th place?  You want him so bad?  Take him.  So happy his sons got haircuts, especially the more brunette one.

Volanda:  Sign over POW now and let your kids handle your affairs and your phone.

David/Lana:  Still with the "Hmmmmm!" but at least he did not try to shove his tongue down her throat within 60 seconds of meeting her, so there is that.  She is not 28, more like 38.

Erika:  So glad you dumped Debbie Downer and Her Disease.   You have wonderful parents and a great, sweet person.  You go girl!

Very little of Big Ed:  Thank you, Sharp.  Nice try with the tears.

Avery/Ash:  Again, one of the few women who thinks of all the kids, not just hers or forgets hers entirely.  There will be no K1, she sees the realities and accepts them.  Good for her.  You tried, you had some blockbuster sex, now head home to Seattle.  Look up Big Mike in Squim!!!! 

Darcey/Tom:  No one cares.  I hate her platitudes: "I am worth it!"  "I am gonna stand up for myself!"  "I am strong!"  No, you are a horrible role model for your daughters.  Tome, no one cares that you are Mr. Carefree Bachelor - you seem to really like to have a few on a string here and there and minute something unsavory happens you are outta there.  Find a girl in the UK and be done.  Same with you, Darcy.  You are telling me that on the entire eastern seaboard you can't find one guy??

BGL - saving the worst for last.  What is with this "I am older than you, I have played this game longer than you, I can out play you and I always f**cking win!"  I mean, is this a marriage or are you on "Survivor"?   She is so many shades of horrid it is hard to keep up.  She was so boastful of Usman before, now she is calling him a small fish and not that big of a star?  She was so rude to the young lady in the clerk's office.  Then.....you were hooking up the wifi?  No you were looking on his phone and snooping.  I really REALLY wanted Usman to whip out his phone, call his brothers and say "Do not bother to travel here for the wedding, it is off!" and get up and walk away.  All they ever do is fight, always at her instigation.  Actually, she is fighting at him while he sits and listens.  Her constant blaming of Usman for that whole divorce decree shitshow is hard to watch.  It is YOUR job to have your decree, unstapled, in your carry-on before heading down there.  Like I have said before, I took mine to our county when we applied for a marriage license.  Was it required?  No.  But ya never know......and this is the United States!
