Ed is still a crafty liar; I want to barf. He's acting like he had no idea Rose wanted more children. Everything is Rose's fault, "she can't handle it." Greasy mayo haired mendacious twerp.

I love how Ed told his mom the breakup was because Rose wouldn't talk about her past. Ed and Rose solved the issue with "the past" on Day One.  She told him some B.S. about having only one boyfriend before , and he accepted her answer. that's not why they broke up. But basically, Ed told his mom Rose is a slut/whore with a "past" and that's what the breakup was about.

Australians can get an expedited passport in three weeks. Since Ash isn't applying as an Australian, but as an immigrant, I'm sure there's more red tape involved. Still, even as an over estimate a year seems abnormally long. When my husband applied for an American passport (he's in the US legally as a permanent resident) it took 3 months-and wait time was uncharacteristically long at the time. Ash's Australian citizenship status might be what's causing the issue-IF there's an issue at all.

He's not Australian, even though he's been living there like 10-15 years?  I don't know why she'd think this could be resolved in a few months.

 

When did Varya become such a crazy lady? Was her rejection of his proposal just a power move designed to show him who is the boss and the relationship that backfired terribly? Now she's acting very jealous and entitled for a woman who turned down a dude's proposal.

Geoffrey is a creep.  He gave no respect to Mary.  He just stood there and let her leave.  Who the hell does Vartya thinks she is?  Gods gift?   Go back to Russia.  I can’t stand her.

Mary knew exactly where she stood when Varya showed up unannounced, was totally rude and inconsiderate towards Mary, and Geoffrey just stood there and said nothing, thus de facto taking Varya's side.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine (I'll call him "Mike"): his ex showed up at his home a year after she'd broken it off with him, then tried ordering his current girlfriend out of the room, saying she wanted to talk to him about "closure." But Mike handled it the opposite way of Geoffrey. He told her "No, you are not ordering my girlfriend out of our home. If you want to talk about 'closure,' fine. We'll talk about it all you want. But it'll be in a public place that we'll agree on, and if my current GF wants to come along, sit at the table and listen to EVERY WORD, she'll be welcome to do so. Now please leave and don't come here again unannounced."

It's the difference in behavior between a male and a man.

His mother has probably heard versions of this story from Big Ed for the past twenty-five years ... at least.  I think she just lets him ramble because he's her little boy (who has obviously not had an easy life).  SHE is just one part of his problems.

I got a vibe with Stephanie’s mom and her friend that came to the airport with her; then Stephanie mentioned her mom had raised her alone — what’s the story with her dad? I forget.

IIRC, Stephanie's mother brought her to the US as a child and raised her as a single parent, but now she has a step-father. But did they "introduce" the woman in the back seat or did we see her before?

Just curious - do only women need to do (in this case) bidet foot wash “ablutions” before praying in the Muslim faith? I noticed neither Usman nor any of his brothers did it.

I wondered about that, too, so I found this: "One of the pillars of Islam is that Muslims pray five times a day. Before those prayers, they are expected to perform a purification ritual called Wudu, requiring that they wash their faces, hands, arms, and feet. We visited Masjid Muhammad Mosque in Washington, DC, where Imam Talib Shareef described the ablution practice as preparing for 'an appointment before God.'"

I imagine we didn't see the men performing their ablutions.

I saw it differently.

• She didn't "reject" anything; she thought a proposal was too soon and she wanted to wait.
• She never said no.
• At the airport she realized her mistake and tried to catch him to let him know.
• We learned that she has been texting him ever since he got on the plane, but he (poor sensitive/impulsive baby) didn't deign to answer even one message. She "loves" him and thought he must feel the same.
• He arrived in Knoxville, needed a woman, and needed one NOW!
• I think Varya is a lovesick woman who needs another proposal--or closure (with a lot of help, prodding, and travel arrangements from Production).
• ...and then there's that "Coming to America" dream.

Wait, taking your dog to the airport is a thing? 

Grapefruit juice ??? With pasta? Rabbit pasta?  Sorry, bunnies. What a combo! To me that is all toothpaste and OJ flavor!

Ablutions in the toilet that's new. I do have to say I love Usman's native dress and the hats it all looks smart and he never wrinkles in that heat!

Lana is like a double agent she reels me in because she does look anxious then I think she is a con in the next breath.

I think she most honest thing she said is that she gave a fake address for safety reasons and it is insane that Dave would approach her home. 

When Varya called Mary a bitch I knew this was all fake. Too much. Jerry Springer.

With regards to Varya, something isn't right here.  She was mature and relatively normal in Russia, now she's a crazed ex lover trying to get her man back?  I felt very manipulated by the production team.  On the other hand, I think Mary really wants to be with Geoffrey and has been pining after him for years.  The fact that she was willing to be the rebound girlfriend immediately upon his return smells of desperation. I think her craziness is genuine.  

Get off my screen Darcey and Stacey.

Lana is quite beautiful for someone older than 28.  If she's really that young, she's led a hard, hard life where she's been rode hard and put away wet.

In the end, Ed admitted he was the one who blew it.  He's still odd, but gets points from me for a little self awareness.

It seemed super manipulative to me. Really icky to use their 22-years-deceased brother as a “plot line.”

All I thought of was that they were trying to prove that there HAS a been a man in the appropriate age group who loved them at one time.

Having had a brother who was six years older than me who passed away at about the same age, I was offended that they were using his death/burial place as a plot line.

"Stace . . . they want us to go visit our brother's grave.  Let's dress up like hookers, puff up our lips and see if we can remember where it is.  And let's buy some flowers that are as garish as we are."

I wonder if they even know that there's probably a built-in vase under the marker for the flowers.

ETA:  I went on findagrave to see if there was a picture of the marker, to confirm whether there's a vase.

There was no picture of the grave, but there's one picture of Michael.  What really made me SMH is that from the time the show aired until this morning, four people have actually left virtual flowers on the website.  Gives a whole new meaning to "stalking" when you start leaving notes at the gravesite of someone's dead brother.

It is the pull back shots of the camera that shows the startling  pantless silhouette of his legs in those offending jeggings that is so jarring to our eyeballs.

Unbelievable that he doesn't get heckled for the tightness and grossness for outlining his junk.

Avery's gotta do something.....

[Starlight925]

It was so painful to watch Geoffrey just stand there while Mary got her things and left.  She came back for her flowers, hoping he'd realize he hadn't said anything, but nope, he still just stood there and watched her drive away.  He didn't even have the decency to try to talk to her, or to tell her they'd talk later, nothing.

Mary was of course his rebound, who he treated like dirt.  He treated Varya like dirt too, because honestly, she didn't say No, she said "Not yet".  Which was actually smart of her, after only a couple of weeks together in Russia.  

Most of these couples don't get engaged on first in-person meeting.  But Geoffrey, control-freak Mo-Fo that he is, didn't get exactly the response he wanted, so he completely ghosted Varya.  Didn't even give her the chance to talk, didn't explain, nothing.

And yes, the innocent party here is Mary, although she walked right into this frequent-arrest-record jerk and wrapped herself around him, knowing he was still pining away for Varya.

And Geoffrey?  If you re-watch it, you can see him smirking in delight at it all.

She would undoubtedly have to wait for one of them to be released from prison.

So Rose turns out to be the real hero this season.  Avery, Avery........I am disappointed you let Ash back into your bed after the way he behaved. Evidently that's all it took to excuse multiple serious lies and his emotional gaslighting.  Wow.

Then we have Varya and Mary, two paragons of female strength.  Smh, even Darcy is actually a strong woman compared to these two.  This is exactly what a pos like Geoffrey dreams of; I can only hope he gets a visit asap from karma, that slaps the smug right off his face.

Lisa is so vile; she is always angry and bitter.  She does zero to improve herself, even she could look better with some effort!  How about a hijab that fits, in a local style?

Ugh, this season almost everyone sucks.  Next!!

If it was real, Mary would have gone home, changed into a sexy outfit, put on makeup, etc...you know, what girls do to keep (no matter how pathetic) their man.

Varya must have the same agent as Lana, they both showed up for some undisclosed amount of money and or goods and services, who knows, maybe Varya got her apartment renovations finished.

David is beyond stupid, he cannot read a room.  Lana is so not in to him on any level except the money she gets from him, if he really thought about how one sided this relationship in his head is...she does not even want to kiss him so why the hell would he ask her up to his hotel room?  Pathetic.

He was a pro bowler at some point in his life but cannot hold the bowling ball in the proper position and fell down in the lane, cringeworthy to say the least.

I used to be a pretty good amateur bowler.  I do not feel that having been in a bowling league would qualify me as a professional, but I suspect that David would disagree.

I'm a little older than David and - like him - haven't bowled in years.  I've had a knee replacement, and my form sucks - like his.

HOWEVER, how does a former "pro bowler" not know that in 10-pin bowling, you spend more time finding the right ball than you do ordering your shoes?  And once you find YOUR BALL, you stick with ONE ball throughout your game.  It appeared that David used three different balls.  In one scene, he started with a dark blue ball, actually did his approach with a salmon ball, and released the dark blue one.

That doesn't even qualify as producer shenanigans.  That's a "pro bowler" who's trying to look like something he's not.

I was dying when David said "I'd like to invite you to my hotel room tonight"

Lana has been so cold towards him and she can barely hide her distaste.

And besides, how many times has David said Lana is "shy"?  Now suddenly she is going to go to his hotel room?  LOL.

But, as someone above said, he assumes the green card is such bait that it will overcome Lana's physical disgust.  

Lana would be a fool to leave Ukraine.  She must make a nice tidy income off mulitple "David's" with very little effort on her part.

 We promise dinner will be a wine and dine affair at a nice restaurant... instead she got supper at the old folks home with her stalker sitting next to you, ruining her appetite making creepy noises, thinking he is wooing you, lathering you up for a night of passion while you are blinking ...help...to the camera crew.

Finally throwing up in your mouth when hearing  the translation of the him asking you to go to the hotel with him.

I'm confused as to how Lisa thought that was going to go down in her favor.  

First - it's weird as hell to bring up your s/o faults to their family who barely know you.  Unless he is outright abusive, airing your dirty laundry and complaints to his  family is just going to make you look weird and overly familiar.  

Second - she has been told, ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS that traditional wives in usman's culture let the man take control.  How in the world did she think that two men raised in that culture were going to respond to her complaints that Usman "doesn't listen to her".  In what alternate universe were two traditional men going to be sympathetic to that argument?  

Third - they don't even know her!  Even if they thought that Usman should listen to his wife or whatever, why would they just take her version of events as truth? 

I think she started to lose her shit when one of the brothers started asking Usman for his input.  Like is the privilege so real that a random American woman should be believed over their brother?  He cannot even give his side of the story?  

I just cannot fathom how she thought that was going to turn into a win for her.  Is this what works in the fifty other men who want to marry her?

Clearly Lisa is not thinking clearly and rationally.  I see Lisa as a very abusive person.  What I know about people with abusive personality disorders is that they like to find the areas of weakness in other people and exploit that.  So maybe knowing that Usman did not want his family to see any signs of disharmony between them Lisa was sure to raise an issue and create a scene knowing that it would cause Usman embarrassment and emotional pain.  And if he cared enough about saving the "relationship" (going to America) he would get to the point of doing anything not to upset her--walking on eggshells to avoid her meltdowns--so that she would always get her own way.  I was glad to hear Usman voicing doubts about Lisa and about going through with the marriage.  He sees there can be no harmony and no peace with her.  I hope he listens to his inner voice and walks away.

[renatae]

I can't for the life of me figure out what Lisa hoped to gain by telling Usman's brothers he needs to toe the line and basically be more obedient to her. She's been told numerous times that it's a patriarchal culture and women don't tell men what to do. She's nuts, period. Revolting as well.

I have a suspicion TLC keeps a pool of ‘friends’ on hand and brings them out whenever the storyline requires ‘friends’.  How could someone like Geoffrey have friends? This whole Varya/Mary/Geoffrey plot smells of audience manipulation. This is a different Varya from the Russian version. And why would she go after Mary and not Geoffrey? And on top of everything I think Varya has been taking advice from Big Egg about hair care. Her hair looks like it needs a good shampooing.

I cannot stand Stephanie’s voice.  😱 And the twins both have this staccato way of talking that’s annoying too.

David... she’s just not into you.  Another TLC manipulation.  Lana has been talked into this. Awkward with a capital A. I almost feel sorry for her... but she is getting paid so there’s that.  This is what NOT wanting the Green Card looks like.  And how egotistical is geriatric David anyway.. assuming a youngish attractive woman would want an old leering guy wearing a wig.

Washing feet in a toilet when there’s a bathtub nearby seems a bit odd... and yikes that was one big ginormous ring? Looked like a thumb ring.

@renatae,  you mentioned “toeing the line” which reminded me that BGL lost part of her toe as a result of her trip...  that made me chortle.
 

@Pondlass1, why has there not been more revulsion over the whole foot bath in the toilet scene?  I guess I need to watch again but did they wear gloves?  Did they flush after each foot or even each person washed their feet?  Did they use hand towels or bath towels to dry them off? I read some where that they also wash their faces.  Did they wash their faces in the sink or toilet?

Does Mommy Usman have a bidet at her hovel so that she knew immediately to use that to cleanse before prayers?
