B90 Strikes Back!

[Mothra]

Ed is so needy for praise or affirmation--"you like?"-- and yet in a situation where a normal, non-needy and polite person would have been able to make a positive comment--"what do you think of my house?"--he is unable even to say "it's very nice" or "how pretty" or *any* social white lie.  He was not brought up right.  That or his narcissism blinds him to normal social interaction.  Big Ed?  I don't think so.  Big Turd is more like it.

Mothra, how do you feel about sharing a name with David's cat, Mothra?

When I first saw a reference to Mothra in a post (something like "David loves Mothra") I didn't realize that was the name of his cat, and I took it very very personally.

Now that I know I share a name with a very handsome feline, I'm fine with it.

The real question is, which of us will respond to the summoning song of the tiny Japanese twins?

[renatae]

Tom compares himself to Colin Firth. He's more like Tom Hardy in his role as Heathcliff. He dated 130 girls from Ukraine? So mach proof of his success with women - they all threw him back!

Wait a minute.  Seems to me there's a solution to Angela's problem somewhere in this post.

[Texasmom1970]

Tom you and your sister needs to lay off the crack pipe. The only thing you have in common with Hugh Grant and Colin Firth is geography.

This show is awful because with the exception of Erica and Darcey the rest are all so bitchy and unpleasant. They others need to take the bitter stick out of their ass and deal with the comments.

[Mothra]

Does David have any sense of humor at all?  Not talking about being able to laugh at himself (the sexiest quality a man can possess imo) but just to "get" a joke--even a "knock-knock" joke.  "Well, I imagine the chicken had a perfectly good reason to cross the road, and if you hadn't had such a rotten life, you would have crossed the road, too."

[Cementhead]

It's still early in the morning here and I have only had one cup of coffee so allow me to say something nice about Ed before I come to my senses:  at least he can laugh at himself and seems to have a good time with it all unlike Grumpy Pants DAVID who is the most humourless, cantankerous old goat this franchise has ever seen.  And yes, David, in spite of that dead squirrel on your head that you call hair, YOU DO LOOK 60, you miserable, piece of shit.

And he has the age spots of an 80 year old.  He really should get them checked out as the spots near his right eye have been growing throughout the season but he is not the outdoorsy type.

Looking again through Ed's eyes at Rose's home, then seeing Ed's bedroom,  I don't think I'd be very comfortable in Ed's house with all those crotchy photos of women looking down at me.  My discomfort would be different from Ed's (although I like my a/c, too), but I really wouldn't want to spend much time in his little house, either.  He has all the mod cons a sleazy bachelor requires, OK, but once I accustomed myself to the physical discomforts (and I think I could, after a few days), I might prefer to stay with Rose and her family than with Ed, who has his face plastered everywhere there isn't a crotch.

[athousandclowns]

Think I read here that neither Ed or David are in their own homes. Perhaps it was mentioned Ed’s is a rental he owns  But for someone claiming to be so wealthy David’s  place is a crap fest.  Sad really ,like he is.  All the 130 women weren’t no shows that’s interesting.

I googled Ed's photography business.  If you look up the address for the business it is that little house that we see portrayed as "his house" on the show.

I can't watch Darcey either.  I find everything about her a turnoff.

[1011101010001]

Yeah Ed,  Rose was hazing you by inviting you to her house.  She lives there every day asshole, guess she is hazing herself.

This may be an optical illusion but does David have a partial room partition with a square glass cutout?  Not sure what the point of that is.  And what’s with the creepy boots he has on the table near his flat screen?

[Johannah]

My opinion that nobody asked for...

Ed came on the show originally expecting to emerge as America's lovable spunky imp.  Didn't happen so now he is trying harder by laughing at every single thing said about him.  "Look how good-natured I am!".  Nope, just pathetic.

 One good thing: at least, he seems to love and take good care of his dog.

David thinks he was vindicated because Lana exists.  Of course she exists.  It was a picture, not a drawing.  Only question was whether she was complicit with the scam or someone just used her picture.  The only reason she showed up this time was that the money was going to stop if she didn't.  Say yes to the proposal, he goes home and the money keeps coming.  David's lack of awareness and vehement denials just make him more delusional and unlikable.

One good thing: at least he seems to love and take good care of his cat.

Tom thinks he is debonair and witty.  He's not.  He's bitter and petty.

One good thing: at least he seems to love and take good care of his....sister?

Few more unsolicited opinions:

Rose found out that many fans were on her side and were dragging Ed through the mud (or pig slop).  She's riding that wave and making some of her comments a little too caustic. It doesn't seem natural or maybe that's the language barrier.  I think she'd be better served to tone it down a little and let her fans do the heavy lifting.  Still, she's not too egregious, just a bit ineffectual.

Ash and Avery and even Steph and Erica don't seem too bad.  They don't seem to be totally denigrating their almost-partners too much. Erica is sweet, Ash made me laugh with the googily eyes and thanked the fans for the advice to see a doctor.  Avery seems to be mostly a fun drunk and even Steph isn't being mean.  These four seem to get how to work this show, I think.  Maybe a jab or two at the other person mixed with defending or explaining their actions.  Nothing too hostile that I can recall.

Did Tom's sister recently put on that weight?  Not body-shaming her, she just doesn't seem comfortable with it, yet.  Or maybe the sofa was uncomfortable.  Just remember something "off", but don't care enough to rewatch.

I agree and I was just going to post something about this after watching last week’s “Strikes Back” episode.   I don’t have as strong opinions of Ed as some people.  I am married to a retired Navy man and I am familiar with some of the transactional relationships that come out of the Philippines, so I wasn’t that surprised or offended by their story.  I did think Ed was a jerk in some cases, but I don’t think he was prepared for the third world poverty (I.e., rats, no walls or doors or running water, different hygiene practices) that he found.  He could have been more gracious, and honest, but he wasn’t.  Rose could have been more honest too.  I don’t believe she “loved” him like she said she did.  She was prepared to be a wife to Ed in exchange for a better life for her and her son.  That’s the truth, not that she loved him.  That being said, I thought Rose’s dramatic crying during the tell-all was fake and over done.  Probably because Rose figured out that there was another way to raise her fortunes and living conditions through Instagram and cultivating a following there.  Now on the Strikes Back episodes, everything she says seems fake, like someone wrote it for her and she is reading it off a prompt.  I am really turned off by it and I find myself not supporting her aspirations as much as I once was.  I think they both just need to move on to their next mark and drop off the 90Day band wagon.

Yeah some of the insults sound like she is reading them phonetically and has no idea what they mean.  And she seems to emphasize random parts of sentences.

David's all, "Ha ha ha, the joke's on YOU! Lana IS real! You'll be apologizing to me when you see her turn up, be totally repulsed, and ghost me. When you see that she accepted my proposal and then never spoke to me again you're gonna feel like a real dummy!"

He’s another one who just needs to move on to his next mark, if he truly wants to find a blonde, Eastern European woman who wants to marry him, come to America and tool around in an RV with him.  I’m totally sure they are out there, but Lana ain’t it.  If he wants to be an Eastern European sex tourist, Lana still doesn’t work.  She’s obviously repulsed by his touch and can’t even bring herself to act interested for money, so that’s a fail on both sides.  On the other hand, if he just wants the appearance of having a hot girlfriend/fiancé who lives in another country and never really wants an actual woman or partner physically in his life, this set up works for him but I’m bored by it.  That wasn’t really the premise he signed up for the show under.  I can’t decide which option is more sad about him . . .

How can you say that? Don’t you know that David and Lana are engaged?

And, in accordance with local tradition, the wedding is scheduled for the next February 31.

David is so humorless it's painful to watch. Ash's comment about David and Annie was uncalled for. His skinny jeans must be cutting off circulation to his brain.

As much as I loathe Big Ed, at least he can laugh at himself.  David has no humor about him at all.

Appropriate for David to show off pizza awards he is so damn cheesy. 

[monagatuna]

David's "zingers" remind me of the "jerk store" joke in Seinfeld. He just seems so delighted that he came up with such a snappy retort, and has no idea that his jokes aren't even a little funny.

The dullard store called, David, they're running out of you.

[2dogmom]

tom is about 75 pounds and a British accent away from being Colte

his mom has a nicer home. same ridiculous inflated opinion of himself. i see a 40 year old with no family of his own, living with his mom and meeting women online.  

at least he is on tv, and it is a warning to all  women with legitimate lives to stay far away.

[Hotel Snarker]

Does anybody think David looks older than 60 or younger than 60? I think he looks exactly 60 years old. His wig might make him a lot older, though. Judging by his furniture and fake ivy plants, he is a young and feisty 60-year-old grandma. 👵 

Most of the people from the original show whom I hated are seeming to laugh at themselves on the Strikes Back version. Not David. David is rude and defensive to anybody that talks smack about him. It really annoys me when he continually says “get him out of here!” like he’s in a bar or something.

I still have a little bit that feels bad for David, but mostly he is a very bitter and defensive man. Very bitter.

I do agree re Ash and Avery and Steph and Ericka that they are mostly pretty funny and although they give digs they are not overly vicious.

And I totally agree with the comments about Rose's script and her poor delivery. She is fluent ?she is not fluent ?she makes jokes with puns ??? how does that happen with someone who is not so skilled in English???  they need better writers.

Just pulled it up "On Demand."  It was definitely "sparkly mop convention."  My favorite, though, was the question from a viewer, "Why is Erika dressed like a 3-year-old's tricycle?"  I LOVE Erika!!!

[deirdra]

"Sparkly mop convention" written out is funnier than hearing it.  Erika liked the comment about looking like a 3-yr-old's tricycle,  miming a bicycle bell ringing. LOL.  Their relationship would probably never have worked out with both of them dressing to attract more attention than the other one.

[Cementhead]

People like Erika usually annoy the ever loving shit out of me but I find her utterly charming.  Marie Kondo would be pleased to hear that Erika sparks joy in me.  And she totally does look like a Sims character.

When that happened, my wife and I immediately thought of the boob molding date and agreed that they should've added bicycle bells to the nipple areas. Then anytime Steph feels uncomfortable....ring ring!

I know there are a zillion roses all around the world, but this show exploited her and her desperation. I hope she can make the most of it and use it to her advantage, and help her family live a better life.

Does her porn site include other humans or is she just video chatting/displaying herself like an X-rated version of her Youtube channel?  Steph caressing her own hair while kissing Erika suggests that might be part of her sexy act, since she seems like a prude in person, which is why Erika was so confused.
