He might have taken some of the more obvious posts down now, but screen shots are out there.  

Also, the twin of Larissa's "blind date" posts here and that was all fake, too.  The guy apparently had known Larissa for awhile but appeared on the show as her blind date.  

I think the entire Colt/Larissa/Jess/Vanesse/Debbie story line is bullshit.  Fake dates, fake boyfriends, fake girlfriends, ad nauseum. 

TLC needs to pull the plug on all of them.

I agree. IMO Eric and Larissa are fabricating this entire relationship and drama. The only question is whether or not Sharp is in on it.

Do you think Colt's agreeing to this clearly made up "I'm just hip deep in women who want to give me the sexual attention I crave, and it keeps getting me into trouble with the women I am in relationships with" story as a way to somehow generate that interest where it doesn't currently exist? Like to get women to think "Well, he must have SOMETHING going on if all these women are into him that he can't keep himself on the level, let me get a taste and see."? I can't imagine a different explanation. I mean it's not really going to work, his sweaty cold moist dough of a setup is really tough to get around. 

This show is basically "TLC pays for trips for two people until the season is over." It's stupid as fuck. 

[Pondlass1]

TLC has gone over the top with these ridiculously manufactured storylines. I can’t get riled up because it’s all make believe. 

[Boo Boo]

It definitely seems like Asuelo's mom and sister were playing it up to the camera.  But at one point Kalani chokes up and it's hard for me to believe she's that good of an actress, so that trips me up.

Also Asuelo has Mother Asuelo's high pitched whiny voice and her ugly face.

I agree.  The question is, does everybody think it's all fake?  If most people don't...there you have it.

Tania and Syngin are exactly the same.  Neither one of them wants to get a job that will simply pay the bills.  If Tania wants a man who has direction, she needs to have that same direction.  If Syngin just wants to party, he never should have left South Africa and married Tania.  

Ugh, Syngin's feet, gross.

I find Tammy and Lenisa's " we're not greedy leeches, we just play one on TV" even more disgusting than if they were greedy leeches.  What a way to put a negative spotlight on Samoan culture.

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

I think Ericee and Larissa are completely fabricated and he is in it more than she is because she is desperate to stay here. I find him one of the weirdest characters ever on 90DF and that is saying a lot.  His handsy-ness and crazy eyes, there is something deeply wrong, repressed and angry in there. This storyline is one way he can manipulate and exploit Larissa and I think he likes both of those things.  I would not put it past him to lead her down a road that leads to the blurred lines of stripping, escorting, prostitution etc and being trafficked.

The only upside I can to see this, if it's true, is that we'll dump the Colt et all fake bullshit and bring on Tariq/Hazel and Rebecca/Zied, who were apparently filmed but not shown yet.  

 

[Neurochick]

Every time I see Larissa, she looks more and more plastic.  Can't wait to see her on "Botched."

Why I can't stand Asuleu's mother and sister:  I'm American, my grandmother had many siblings, but only two of those siblings had children, one was my dad and the other was his fir cousin.  My dad said "deuces" and left the south after WWII and headed north, got a job and married my mother and had his own family.  His cousin stayed in the south where she was expected to take care of her mother AND all of her mother's siblings, even though she was married...no kids because...no time, she had to take care of everybody.  When her mother's last sibling died, her husband was diagnosed with cancer and he died soon after (as this was the mid 70's and cancer treatment wasn't what it is now).  And she was left alone except when I would go down to see her in the summer.  

My point is that Asuelu's mom and sister make no sense.  If his mom wants money then SHE should live with Asuelu and Kalani and take care of the children for free, so Kalani can get a job and not have to worry about the kids.  If not, she needs to shut it.

This. The way Tania goes on and on, you would think she has a B.A., a grad degree, her own home, and her own successful business that generates enough income that can support at least herself. The woman left her fiance for a month to study to become a witch -- not that there's anything wrong with that... Unless you think that has set you up to demean the life choices of your partner. 

Instead of complaining about Syngyn, she really needs to focus on her own life choices.

Better yet, maybe Brittany takes off her ridiculous false eyelashes?

Or Ariela misses her last chance for a flight back to America and has to give birth in Ethiopia?  

Or Dough Boy Tim returns to America, to the house and job he held onto "just in case"?  

The possibilities with this crew (and with what TLC/Sharp deem "dramatic") are endless 😄 

(and whatever we guess is probably far more entertaining than what the reality will be)

They might as well rename the show to 90 Day Assholes.

Jenn needs to be shot out of a cannon. Actually ALL of them except for Andreiiiiiiii family & friends can be spared such a fate.  I'd love to see her beret fly off as she does the flying squirrel stance. The lot of them are snobby jerks. High dining for them would be going to Applebees. I get next level irritated when I hear 'muricans going on about how awful *such and such* a country (food, culture, accomodations) is in comparison. Stay the fuck home then. We don't want you. 

Angie is a tyrant. I don't understand how she gets a pass time after time. I watched a bit of Pillow Talk (avoiding the Pao & Russ scenes) and they were making excuses for her actions. (It's menopause, blah blah) No. Angela is an out of control asshole. She is abusive to Michael and he just grovels and puts up with it. For what? A bit of tv time and possibly a life in the USA. Not worth it. His family seem really sweet and kind tho. Wish they'd talk him out of it. 

 Last week, I felt badly for Assuelo. That has gone away! Kalani needs to haul his ass out of there ASAP. He called her a fucking asshole AFTER she had a horrible interaction with his Mother and sister.  He's such an odd guy. He's extremely simple. I don't get what she ever saw in him in the first place  He can't even look after his own children. The sister had to watch them. Weird. 

There is no way that Ericee has 30K in savings. No farking way. Watching the segments with Larissa is a complete waste of time. Ericee tried to muster fake excitement that bigger boobs would make him happy. Also, I think psychological counselling is needed for extreme plastic surgery candidates. It's your personality that needs fixing, Larissa, not yer boobs or yer nose. 

Coltee and Debbie go out for an ice cream date for quality time. They live together but they need more quality time? Then the Lumbering Chunk of Bespectacled Confusion makes a condom joke whilst pulling off the paper wrapper off a straw in front of his Mother. Ok. Stay classy, Coltee. 

Tania and Syngin. Can't stand them. Don't wanna know them.

When he confessed to Jess about "talking to other women" I'm sure he meant he PAID for online or phone sex. 

[Quof]

Clearly he means "talking to women" in the same sense as contestants, er, litigants on Judge Judy. The kind of talking that leads to babies.  

[KateHearts]

Syngin clearly doesn't follow Tanya's plan and although I do think he's lazy (yes, the mines were traumatic; does it mean that at 30 he doesn't need to have any responsibilities at all?) and he just pushes the "I'm a free spirit" agenda the harder Tanya pushes. She was embarrassing herself at dinner, wailing and crying, all the while still shoveling food in her mouth... and then continued to stuff her face while they argued in the bedroom, which I found odd.  And Syngin's feet were BLACK with dirt, while he was on the bed... ugggh.

Angie continued to boss Michael around, and true to form he took it. I don't have much empathy for the guy.  "SEE HER TO THE DOOR." She got her way, though; poor Mama is probably just more than ready at this point for all of the haggling to be over and for Angie to get her giant, Marlboro-scented decolletage away from her. 

I already addressed Libby's family in a previous post but shit... even if they are acting they come across as the most boorish, ignorant people on this show. Constantly insulting Moldova and its customs: "I guess they eat the bacon fat because they're poor. It's peasant food. This bread is stale. The coffee is too strong. I won't eat that. It's dark so early. The city is gray and depressing. I'm going to lose weight while I'm here because I can't eat any of this food." And then C&C immediately describing the dinner the night before: "we just asked him 'hey- tell us about your past a little, Bro'... and he just told us to shut the F up and wanted to fight!"  Ummm, yeah. That's exactly what we all saw ON TV.

Colt:  "I lied to Jess about Vanessa moving in with us.. I'm talking to other women... but I hope she can accept that I'm a good guy and I love her!"  Someone is truly enjoying his 15 minutes of reality-TV "fame". I got a kick out of Debbie's look of delight when Colt (during their "quality time- what was that bowl of confetti-ish slop she was eating?) described his concerns about Jess and coming clean.  

Larissa: "Ericky made fun of our sex lifey so now I will makey him pay as longy as I canny.  If Ericky loves me he will pay for a booby jobby and a nosey jobby."  She tells him it's for their relationship and to helpy their sexy lifey. Oh, and it's just a loan. Because she is fully capable of paying him back $25k with interest.  And what on God's green earth is the deal with Eric and his hand motions? I look at his face when she says things about their sex life because you can almost see the thought bubble over his head: "I can't believe I'm pretending that I'm a straight guy. But let's talk about her 'cans'"... but the hands! My gosh! They fascinate me.

[Colfrmb]

I used to fast forward thru the scenes with Libby and Andreii but I was interested in this whole other segment of her family that I didn’t know existed.  The step father fascinates me. His restraint is remarkable and I find myself saying under my breath, “no wonder her bio mom left her father, Chuck.”

Now I fast forward thru Coltee and his harem.  

I loathe Larissa more now than I did when she was with Coltee.  Ericee has no money.  He lives in a hole in the wall.  She has the nerve to demand his last dollar for boobs and a nose.  Their acting is soooo bad. No way is he shelling out 30k for her plastic surgeries when the sex wasn’t even that good.  She will find comps from some sleazebag cut rate docs and then she will regret it.

Angela shows her true nasty ass colors here but I stay to watch Mackle’s family bite their tongues as they sacrifice their working age male to a slob of an aged female who doesn’t even dress as well or speak English as well as they do.  He will NEVER be able to send money back to them because he will be working for Ang for free.  They are screwed.  If they saw how she fights, provoking him with her fists in his face, daring him to come at her, they would kidnap him and hide him somewhere until she has to fly back home.  This is the most upsetting situation I have seen on this spinoff.  I have no tolerance for violence from either sex and Ang manages to literally throw herself around in every season.  I wanted her off the show before and I want her off now.  
 

Can someone tell me why Syngin wears a wrap on his right wrist? Is it to support his fist bumps with all his bro’s.

A former coworker wouldn’t touch bread that was more than a couple of hours out of the oven. Any sandwich she would eat had to be made from fresh bread only. She wouldn’t touch bread if it came from the freezer. She required a hot meal every meal.  I told her that some people were lucky to get any kind of meal. She reminded me of Lib’s sister.

She was also the one who, before she went on vacation, and probably was told that I would be laid off, confronted me in a workplace hallway and dropped a machine gun round worth of f-bombs about how horrible I was. Never had the chance to talk to the HR guy.

So not only was Tania cussing up a storm like a circus monkey at the dinnee table with Syngin's family, this uncouth shrew left her plate on the damn table. She doesn't belong around civilized people.

Got to admit tho, I wasn't mad when she came back and got herself a nice plate of Braai and tucked into it in her bed. That was the one time I identified with her. Don't separate a girl and her BBQ. 

[Gobi]

Libby’s family is despicable. If I went to another country and hated everything, I would never say that to the locals. Nor would I say it to family and friends if I was being filmed. And if I was not being filmed, I would just say that it wasn’t my cup of tea.

[spunky]

After her performance on last night's episode I hope that sister Asuelu's boss had a nice long conversation with her about embarrassing herself and her employer. Asuelu's mother is just cold. Kilani needs to leave Asuelu at his mother's doorstep and take her children back to Utah. At this point Oliver is more mature than he is.

Andrei's xenophobic family is just the worst.  No wonder Jenn's husband doesn't want to be filmed with them, he's probably embarrassed by their antics on a daily basis. 

Colt, Larissa, Jess and Debbie need to just get lost. They're annoying and their storyline is just a rinse and repeat of last season's.

Angela is disgusting! She needs to take herself back to Georgia and leave Michael alone.  I'm sure his 3 gorgeous female friends who previously lived in the states would be a better match for Michael or know someone who is. Angela is only a good match with her cigarettes. Also Angela if you're truly a Christian you would know that cursing while using Jesus' name is blasphemy. Sit your hateful self down somewhere.

Who asked for Russ and Poa on pillow talk? WHO!? While she was less annoying than usual, I'm still not crazy about her and all her attention seeking antics.

Shame on them if they were and shame on them if they were not.

At this point I feel most of this has to be 99% scripted. I mean Eric is gay, Larissa is his bff, no one is going to pay for the boobie/nose job except the clinic will comp it for free advertising on the show.

Libby, Andrei and family is 99.99% scripted but I do seriously believe that Libby's family is that dense on how to travel, interacting with other ppl and cultures.

If Angela and Michael are scripted, shame on TLC for scripting such an abusive relationship (telling him to not look at the translator, like he was going to start making it with her in the middle of the room).  And if it's not scripted shame on TLC for promoting such an abusive relationship.  If this was flipped (man abusing woman) there would be more of a pushback for TLC to get rid of them. Sadly, it's played up for laughs.  I as a woman am NOT laughing.  Abuse, physical or mental or any type of abuse is JUST WRONG.

Syngin and Tania.  I believe as I posted before that Syngin is a free spirit and thought he would marry Tania for another experience. He is dense enough to realize that it's just not for a laugh.  This guy just needs a shanty on some land so he can just live off the land, grow some weed and live his days out. Other than that, Tania is an idiot but she made her bed and can lie in it with Syngin's dirty feet.

I'm wondering if her plastic surgery is going to be comped by some local fame whore surgeon and they pulled this bullshit about Eric paying for it out of their asses to add to the "drama" of their story line.  No way that asshat has $30,000 in savings.  Hell I'd be shocked if he had $3000 in his savings (unless he just got his TLC check for appearances last season).

Anybody remember that old show Get A Life with Chris Elliott, about a grown man living at home with his parents and delivering newspapers because he didn't want to grow up?  That's who Syngin reminds me of.  It was funny on a sitcom but not so much in real life.  

Ha Ha!  I loved that show, you nailed it!  Syngin should have just spoken up for himself and told her the 90days is too soon and they needed to wait on the visa.  Both of them are drunk losers IMO.  

Angela and Michael scenes were so upsetting.  I don’t know how any man can take abuse like that and not end it.  Nothing is worth that cow berating and humiliating him.  If his Mom knew what she was really like she would not give her blessing.  I hope MIchael gets to the US and dumps that abusive cow as soon as possible and find a nice young woman and have the family he wants.  

I really think the family Libby BS is created drama, scripted and poorly acted.  

Asuelo’s family is nuts and completely wrong, but no one wants to hear their wife call their family A-holes.  Kalani needs to end it with him, he will never understand or grow up.

And see that’s how I would describe the exurbs of Tampa.

I loathe Larissa more now than I did when she was with Coltee.  Ericee has no money.  He lives in a hole in the wall.  She has the nerve to demand his last dollar for boobs and a nose.  Their acting is soooo bad. No way is he shelling out 30k for her plastic surgeries when the sex wasn’t even that good was nonexistent. 

FTFY.

Chuck and Co. going on about peasant food when it's highly likely they are descended from European peasantry themselves.  

Not to mention many beloved and delicious dishes originated as peasant food.

Here's the thing... I don't understand why anyone would put such a horrid version of themselves in a TV show -- real or fake. Seriously, do you want to me known for being a horrible/crazy/mean person? I don't think the paychecks can be that good. 

 

It worked for Omarosa (for a while).

The Potthast tribe is the epitome of "Ugly Americans." 

Literally and figuratively.

While I have total empathy for Kalani and her frustration with Asuelu's Family of Horrors, I think she tipped it a bit when she got rather ghetto and said she could beat up her husband and how she beat kids up in third grade.  Pull it back a bit, Kalani. Kudos for walking away when Sis got all "I'll cut you," but I would lean toward being the more classy and say nothing more. Asuelu is too simple to think a few steps beyond the literal: once she said she (I loved how she motioned to her ample-sized body) could beat him up, he stopped processing. She should know by now to present things very simply to him. "Your sister threatened to beat me up. I left because I couldn't convince them that we need to take care of our own family first."

Angela: You can't make me! x70

Michael: I just want a peaceful marriage.

Me: You might want to rethink your life choices, Michael.

I tried to watch last night but could not take it and may only read things in the forum for this one from now on.

The Americans were absolute nightmares! Syngyn accused of doing what was done to him. Tania(?) thinks her lifestyle before him was art, lol, and his is abuse and laziness. She is ridiculous.Libby and family, need to get a clue about themselves. What on earth makes them think they are better than anyone else? I couldn't watch their segments. Angela was being real and that was it for her as far as I can am concerned. So, I could not watch the whole thing, just suffered through couple of scenes, fast forwarded and then clicked off.

Come on over to my house.  We'll have pizza and watch Netflix.  There is a line.  They all seem to have crossed it.

That is perilously close to Netflix and chill.

For the money, period end of story. Some folks are so fucking lazy and have so little self esteem that they would rather portray themselves as vile human garbage just for the easy paycheck from TLC or BravHo.

Jen thinks she’s hot shit but mostly she looks like a cross-eyed buck-toothed chinless harridan. Who says “what is your song?” during a dinner?! Is she already wasted? If someone demanded I sing the Canadian anthem during our first meeting, I’d be like get out of life, thanks. I don’t know her but I know I wouldn’t like her. 

I think Tania’s hamming it up for the cameras because who gets that hysterical about their husband’s lack of career in front of their in-laws? And lol about South Africa being racist and impoverished like the US isn’t. It’s obvious Syngin has no interest in putting roots down in the US. Or ever having a steady job. Or becoming a father. Let the guy go, man. He wants to drift through life, taking opportunities as they come and that’s totally fine. But he has no business being a father and I hope to god they don’t bring kids into the mix. 

 

I live in a border town so they play the Canadian anthem as well as the American anthem at all our hockey games. I know the Canadian one as well as are own lol.
