Why would you get tattoos if you didn't want anyone to see them? Bra straps on the other hand, you don't wear as a "decoration".

And yet a large percentage of women on shows like Judge Judy and People's Court seem to think that it's perfectly okay to appear on national television with bra straps showing.  And they seem to be chosen because they do not blend in naturally with the color of whatever top the litigant is wearing.

"Red lace cold shoulder top?  Ooooh . . . gotta wear this black racer back bra with wide straps.  Yummm.  How gorgeous is that?"

I remember discussions about the spousal visa from previous seasons and I remember someone saying it takes a lot longer than that, which is why I assume people would rather go for the K1. Plus if the country is on the list of banned countries, being married to an american doesn't make one exempt from that ban.

Yes Rachel (Jon), Avery (Omar), and Tiffany (Ronald) have learned that marrying overseas does not mean that the spouse will be allowed to move to the US quickly or at all.

I think her tear was one of embarrassment that anyone who knows her in real life might see what she's willing to do for money.  Like kissing and hugging old American guys.

I don't think she knows it's a cubic z yet.  How I'd love to see her go into a Ukranian pawn shop and get that little tidbit.

That's exactly what I thought.  I could feel her fear, disappointment and anger when he turned back.  

I think the only reason she said "yes" was because he was already at the airport and if she'd said no he might have insisted on staying to "change her mind"

She tried so hard not to hug him. LOL

That was exactly what I thought.  I Usman was willing to risk the wrath of that hosebeast, it was because he REALLY thought she needed a bra.  

But lisa is all class.  Better to have the girls drooping into her soup course than to have visible bra straps.  

Nigerian men are “old school” in the sense of taking great pride in being sharp and put together when you are out at functions. And your woman should be dressed to the nines as well, 1. As a symbol of your affluence (what kind of man are you that your wife has shabby clothes), 2. Dressed modestly to demonstrate she’s a virtuous woman*. An ADULT WOMAN leaving home without a BRA to her WEDDING (or any wedding) just isn’t done. It’s seen as indecent. It’s like telling a toddler to put on her shoes. 😣
 

I too am embarrassed for Lisa. Of course I believe women can wear what they want, and it’s not an indicator of their worth as people or anything like that, but I would be shocked too, to see a woman out without a bra like that at a WEDDING.

 

 

* not saying I agree with this stance just pointing it out. 

[Colfrmb]

Honestly, I have assumed that BG Lisa wasn’t wearing a bra pretty much every time I see her.

Look I wore white at my second wedding - I knew I wasn't fooling anyone, lol.  I liked the white (it came in other colors as it was an informal bridesmaid dress but none that I cared for) but yeah....I rocked the white.    Could she have PLEASE taken out the 80's hair claw?  Lord I wore that to clean my house in the 90's!!!

OMG, how I loved the long-awaited nuptials of Sojaboy and BGL! Let me count the ways.

-- BGL insisting that she would push her breasts to the right height, as if she controls gravity like she controls her "mens."

-- BGL thoughtfully arranging her wedding veil over her fanciest Goody claw clip.

-- Sojaboy's mother informing the audience that BGL beter get to producing two kids, stat, without regard to whether or not BGL is too old to tote an aig.

-- Sojaboy's brothers shading BGL as old and fat on her wedding day.

-- The overjoyed wedding guests wearing expressions more suited to a funeral for a head of state.

-- The officiant including the equivalent of [insert name here] in the vows.

-- Sojaboy thoughtfully using his stage name during his vows.

-- Sojaboy's reception love song.

The gift that keep on giving, these two star-crossed lovers.

I wondered if he would remove the hat in front of the camera to demonstrate he's not wearing a wig or that he's using Fixodent to hold it in place.  I feel kind of bad for him, wearing a hat that's obviously too small.  He didn't look like he had an especially large head, even with the inch of so of fake hair.  I wonder if he settled for what the hat-seller had.  And I wonder if he thinks that furry hat will keep him warm if he leaves his Keanu Reeves duster hanging open.  Even if he wore a pullover under that damn coat--which I think is too big for him (look at the shoulders)--he'd be warmer.  And why doesn't he learn to say "It's cold" in Russian?

I think she told him she didn't have a phone.  As for the 'find a phone'  feature being turned on, that's easily turned off, too.  It was a brand new phone that if she's smart, she quickly sold.  She can keep David at bay for awhile, and then just tell him it was stolen.

Maybe she convinced him that she didn't have a phone so they couldn't chat off the dating site. Or maybe her phone didn't work internationally or could translate. But what I wondered about was, why he never just sent her one for seven years! Oh that's right. He didn't have her address...

Like the dating site, new phone is fully equipped with a translator which these lovebirds can’t function without.  It’s probably a good one, like the one he uses on his phone. He mentioned not bothering with phone calls while in Ukraine since there was no point with the language issue.  My guess.  

[Kareem]

The preview of the Tell All after this episode was great!  Have to know what Ash lies about, what made David cry, whether Rose and Erika will get the opportunity to rip their respective prior prospective partners’ heads off, the Tom/Avery drama, Visa’s reaction to the Wife #2 announcement, Ed being his usual obnoxious asshat self, the possibility of Yolanda coming out of the fog she lives in and the rest.  Did Shaun call Usman “Osmond”?  The poster who said Darcey was channeling Minaj nailed it.

The thing with Lisa's dress is that it's made from the cheapest material available. No built-in bra, was it even lined? (Still watching episode).

What if Mary hadn't driven her own vehicle? Was she expected to hitchhike back to town? The scene is absurd, would you or I act like Varya if we had just landed in Russia?

The pawn shop will have laughed their head off at the CZ.   Lana probably won’t talk to him for weeks until he has suitably groveled and by then the phone will have been lost and they will have to go back to using the web$ite.

I agree.  I think that Varya should have accepted Geoffrey's rejection when she surprised him  so that she could vacation in NYC, or at least Charlotte.  (You know she flew through one of them.)  But, with her complete personality change, she decided that she absolutely must marry Geoffrey and she could live in his Knoxville exburb, as long as Mary was in exile.  ("It's like Siberia.")

My UO on the CZ:  Had hubs and I gotten engaged and married while young and broke, I would have been fine with a CZ as long as I knew about it and hopefully a promise to upgrade on a few years.  No girl likes a surprise when getting the ring appraised for insurance.

But I am not that into jewelry, lol.  My engagement ring now is an antique opal ring.

How funny, I'm an attorney and I was a claims adjuster.  

You and your husband actually love each other.  Here, David understands that his relatively is transactional and he is trying to cheat by buying a cheapie ring.  I guess it's all part of the game, but if he knows and is okay being used for money because he wants a hot young blonde than the CZ is an unfair move.  

Either way, I don't think she wants to be his human doll, but she may get annoyed if the ring is appraised. 

[Frozendiva]

David should come clean and admit that it is a CZ ring and that once she arrives in the US, he will replace it with a real one (most likely lab grown, since they are a bit cheaper).

I wonder what David would’ve done about his wig had Lana agreed to spend the night with him at his hotel? Does it come off or is it glued down?  How did the Russian guy who sold him that hat keep a straight face.

It’s a better quality than the twins dried straw extensions and probably cost a bit of money and if David was 30 years younger it could pass for real, but no 60 year old has a mop of thick black hair like that. Maybe he purchased it 30 years ago when he got the leather coat?

A friend who watches the show thinks it’s his own hair dyed black but I don’t think so. 

Yikes... Baby Girl Lisa looked hideous in that dress. How could she look in a mirror and think she looked nice? Why didn’t she wear a loose flowing colourful African style? 

 

Believe it or not, my husband is 61 and he has the same thick, full head of hair today that he did in his youth. We are knocking on the door of 30 years together and it hasn't taken a hit in the slightest. His grey hairs are few and far between, less than 5%  I’d guess.  He, his brothers, his deceased father and his brothers hit the jackpot as far as hair goes. Historically, their hair drastically changes to full on white in the span of about 2 years in their late 60’s to early 70’s. Strange but true  

Now, as far as wigs/toupees go, I defer to the rest of y’all on that one. I’m only good at spotting those that are really bad...like Darcey’s and Stacey’s LOL

Did he think she was using tin cans and a string?  I liked how he said "with this phone we can talk to each other" did her really believe he could not call her before (assuming he had her phone number)? 

Lana is really good at getting David to believe anything she says, he believed her about her nephew too...he won't ask the hard questions because he does not want give her an excuse to (fake) get mad at him.  

From the get go I thought David was all to comfortable getting a rental car and driving wherever, never missing a turn, yes he had GPS but c'mon, we have all gotten turned around with it on our home turf a time or two but not David, the street signs are in Russian but he was very confident behind the wheel.  I travel with my husband on his business trips and we had to drive from Copenhagen to Aarhus, thank goodness we had his work mate with us who made the drive a time or two but there were some moments...something seems off, there is probably a lot we will never know about David and his dealings in the Ukraine.

Yes - the fact that hubs and I actually love each other (and when you look at Lana look at David, I actually LIKE my hubby) so we would have worked it out, had a CZ, a small real diamond or no ring) but yes, these two are clearly transactional buteveryone but  them sees it.  Wasn't it mentioned somewhere waaaaaay upthread that David was brining the CZ so he sould not have to claim a real ring through customs or something similar?

I do believe you - I have longtime family friends and the the hubby/dad/grandpa has super thick hair, no receeding hairline in sight!  Plus we buried my dad at age 53 and he had a thick mane going on as well.
