In these times of Covid 19 and the fact that we live in a suburb of Minneapolis, hubs and I need to find fun ways to amuse ourselves.  He hugs me and I keep my arms straight as a board while he says "Mmmmmmmm" over and over.  I ask him for a CZ ring and new Iphone to pawn.  We drink grapefruit juice and I leave to look after my "nephew."  We drink grapefruit juice and eat baked chicken.  Ah....the things we do to amuse!!!

That is so funny.  I thought my husband was the only guy that would watch this crap, as before all he watched was sports and golf.  He’s obsessed with all of them and even watches the repeats.  I told him I’m going to buy him a long black leather coat for Christmas.  Lol.

My hubby did a total 180!  He would pass me on the way to his workshop downstairs and tease me: "You are losing IQ points when you watch this stuff!"  Give it some time and lo and behold look who next me on the couch for every episode, playing 90 Day Bingo with me?  Yes, sir!

Don't forget the squirrel or muskrat hat with ear flaps to go with it.

I am still working my way through all the replies but re: Ash's Australian passport. I'm considering getting a dutch passport since at this point I'm embarrassed to be British. It does say on the dutch immigration website that it can take up to a year to process your application. Now my (British) friend went through the process and got his passport in about 3 months. So the point is...I can believe that it takes up to a year for Ash to get his Australian passport. However none of them can do maths because if he already sent in the application 2 months ago then he should be done in under 10 months- not one year. I'm also wondering with that amount of time is it really so difficult to visit on his Mauritius passport?  Or did he have to hand that in while waiting for his Australian one?

Does this series never end? I was sure 3 weeks ago with the episode where they all split up it must be the season finale, yet here we are, still chugging out episodes.

 

There's a lot of sensitivity here about what constitutes stalking. My opinion: when somebody ghosts you, you are always left wondering what that means. I had one friend who disappeared for a year then contacted me out of the blue with a message apologising and saying it was because he'd had a severe depression with paranoia.

If someone blocks you, that's a clear message. If someone tells you directly, "don't contact me" then you know. Geoffrey did neither of those things and therefore I can understand the logic of wanting to try one more time in person. Plus, his reaction to varya coming has basically been positive.

As for Pick Me! Mary: He's Just Not That Into You. Move on!! I have no sympathy and she's coming across as a bit psycho in her desperation. I could never believe a guy loved me if he had proposed to someone else the week before.

Whoever said she looked like Pebbles flintstone cracked me up. 

Meanwhile Geoffrey is nothing but a big baby, sulking when varya doesn't do things exactly the way he wants. And he is a jerk to take varya to meet their mutual friends the same night ESPECIALLY when Pebbles was invited and they're going to be on her side.

 

Stephanie - go away already, your voice is horrible 

 

I thought ed's mum looks very nice for her age. Just goes to show ed's neck deformity is not what makes him unattractive....

Also I forgot to add my hypothesis re david. I think he saw caesar and maria on the last series and realised the 90 day producers could help him find lana.

I am still living in the past and you already know all the secrets lol. I finished yesterday this episode and am at page 1 of this thread so most likely this is already said but:

 

I had to laugh so incredibly hard when David went bowling with Lana. If even that moment didn't brought him to his senses:

Lana mentioning in her chat profile she loves bowling (or hobby) and it turn out she never bowled before hahahahaha.

David probably said in his profile that he was in a professional bowling league (40 yrs ago when he could barely grow a mustache & had limp hair).  Scamster that she is, Lana would have made his hobbies her hobbies. She probably has never been in an RV either.  What was really funny is that her bowling technique was better than his on many shots.

Lol yes! I totally agree😁

In general, honesty is a problem for all of them (no one can say everything but what's said should be true, that's what I think). I know that falling in love online can be a thing, but not for me. I can like to talk to someone very much and look forward to hearing from them, but not fall in love.

So, Lisa wants Usman to answer to everything she thinks is a problem but she won't answer to his thoughts? 50/50, right? She always storms out for every little thing, flipping fingers and being rude. She acts (almost) what she thinks is needed to "make it happen" and wants to get a certain result (what she wants, get paid so to say). She already knew that the culture was different. It takes real work to overcome some of those challenges. Please family, make her go home! Stop the pain! 

Geoffrey complains that he didn't know that Varya was coming, still he ignored all her messages. He could have sent just one saying that he moved on and found someone else. Also, she didn't flat out refused his proposal. She wanted to wait. He wanted her to just leap over the abyss (with his surprise revelation) but wouldn't give her time to process the new information. 

Ed wants what he never gave, honesty. He already knew what Rose wanted, but didn't give the same to her. She accepted thing after thing but it became too much. 

David keeps living in his imaginary world. He wants Lana to behave lovingly, but she's not feeling it. It's very obvious! Just that they still communicate over the special website is a huge tell! She doesn't act like she wants any contact with him.

Darcy sweet Darcy! I just want her to be a little bit more realistic and be a little more like Lisa (but nice). She thought she had something with Tom. When I first saw him in the last season, and she said he helped her with the bad break up, I wondered if he just listened to her ranting about that guy and she thought that they communicated. His behavior was just strange all the time and perhaps because he wanted to be on TV.

Ash? No, just no! Those around him say that he communicates and listen, but that's not what he  (or the editing) shows (on the other hand - that disaster workshop... say no more). He seems to keep a backdoor open at all times. They were only just talking about a distance relationship and traveling back and forth, and now he talks nonsense about a passport. Perhaps he wants a doting girlfriend that doesn't question him in anyway? I wonder why she's so accepting of that? Her questions disappeared. 

Stephanie and Erika were so out of sync. They didn't talk about things they thought mattered beforehand and assumed that everything just would work. When topics came up they blew up. Perhaps Stephanie can be more honest with her feelings if she finally tells her mother and she accepts her bisexuality? I hope so.

This became long and I didn't even write about everyone! 😊
