S02.E19: Fight Or Flight

[Neurochick]

The sneak peek is up on the TLC website.  

So Brittany is going to have a "girls trip" in Jordan, with her friend and not see Yazan.

Didn't know that Deavan got pregnant again so soon.  I felt bad when she said she had a miscarriage. 😢

Will Jenny and Sumit's ring ceremony happen?  Who will come?  Who won't?

Poor Ari is realizing that she and Bini did shit backwards, you need to get to know the man BEFORE the baby comes.  She'll probably go back to the US with her parents who will end up raising the baby while she's off on her next adventure, maybe it'll be the Himalayas next time.  I wonder what will happen to Avi, he was born in Ethiopia with an Ethiopian father and an American mother.  I feel sorry for the poor baby. 

Looks like COVID is coming....

Where her next child will be the offspring of a Yeti.  If she thinks communication with BiniBaby is tough, wait until she tries reasoning with the Abominable Snowman.

I would actually watch that.  
 

Or Tony Beets.  Kind of the same thing.  I think before she went back to Ethiopia to have the baby, I think she believed the penis-bearing part of the world population was all one-and-the-same.  I want her to hook up with a lost tribe deep in the Amazon.  A tribe where it’s perfectly acceptable to throw your “woman” off the nearest cliff if she tries to make you eat vegetables, and theyve never ever seen a white woman.  WHO KNEW the culture might be different???   She’s been all these places (although I’m not sure it was ever made clear WHY or HOW she funds these adventures).  For someone who DID travel, she seems so clueless.

"I don't want some dumb mistake to affect us forever" says Ari who got pregnant by her Ethiopian fling. 

Ari complains that Bini asks his sister and her friend to come over and keep her company while he's working, then she complains when they're leaving that she's going to be lonely. 

In light of Jihoon's Super Sperm, why doesn't Deaven use birth control, or at the very least, self-control?

Ari complained about getting visitors and complained when the visitors left too early - at midnight. 

Like Woody Allen complaining in a restaurant: "the food is terrible, and the portions are so small!"

[Frozendiva]

Brittany, you should stay far away from Jordan. Go meet your friend and maybe go to Dubai or someplace else.

Yazan, she really isn't worth it.

Ariela, why don't you have any money to help out with baby expenses? You complain about Bini having to work a number of jobs to support everyone. Where is your share? Granted, it might be tight for a while since you can't work, but this is something you should have thought about. Having his family keep you company when you really don't want it and complain about having no friends of your own? Tough. That's what happens when you move to another place. It takes time to make friendships.

Cheezie's family is visiting? Melyza is being respectful by staying with her parents. However, Mom and Auntie should have a hotel room or two hotel rooms for their stay.

Deaven, you were going to have another kid with Jihoon? You do need to find some form of decent birth control. Now you are moody and sulky. Yes, loss is hard on everyone.  You really haven't shown any empathy toward Jihoon, who also lost a baby.

Deaven should have saved the word "devastated" for something as tragic as losing a baby. She was also devastated about not having her dream wedding so the word really loses its impact.

Maybe once Ari's parents take Avi, they can get him in touch with his half-brother in the US.  😞

Also, she doesn't care if all the world's men aren't the same or if cultures are different because she's special and they should accommodate her.

Ari looked like she was going to lose her shit when Avi was crying. I do feel sorry for that baby and hope Grandma takes over.

For the answer to Deaven and birth control you have to check out their couple page.  

Yazan looked like he was on hard drugs in the preview. Those two yutzes do not know how to communicate. He wanted sympathy from her. Getting sympathy isn't calling her and yelling how he was in an accident bc of her.  

Other than that, the 1/2 hour preview was a snooze fest. I picked up a few radlers and ciders for tomorrow night.

She didn't even let him finish telling her about the accident, she just cut him off and accused him of blaming her (which I didn't hear in the incoherent shouting match at all.) He said he bought the car to "increase her standing" in Jordan but she had told him it wasn't necessary to buy a car so I guess that was her convoluted way of saying he was blaming her. But one of his jobs is driving a taxi, so wouldn't he need a car?

I saw the 30-minute sneak peek, and he blamed the accident on Brittany's not answering his calls or texts (can't remember which), so he was having to try to call/text over and over, and during one of those tries, he was looking at his phone and had the wreck.  So it's her fault.

If that's the case, then these two deserve each other.  I hope they are forced to marry and stay in Jordan together for the rest of their lives.

I'll be honest about my reaction.  When she said she was pregnant, I blurted out, "Oh no."  When it turned out she had a miscarriage, I was relieved.  It's sad, but in the long run, I'd put money on everyone involved having dodged a bullet.

Beyond his cab and barber clientele, who has to pay to see Yazan?  Why is he so low that she'd have to stoop?  And, "having access to" Brittany sounds like she charges her sugar daddies a membership fee.  Are people really willing to pay to see or "access" of these two?  What's the market value?

[Baltimore Betty]

Yazan looked super high when he was talking about the accident, just totally wasted.  

Blaming someone for something you have done is a classic addicts move, makes me think that Brittany has seen this side of Yazan before.

Brittany going/not going to Jordan is stupid if she had decided not to go she would have told her driver to turn around or get off at the next exit but we all know she was getting on that plane.  Girls trip to Jordan? How wild can you get there?

 

[RealReality]

Did I just hear this ignorant ass broad fix her mouth to say that she was going to "turn up in Jordan" with her friend? 

[RealReality]

LOL, how was this "shocking news"  You two had unprotected sex....AGAIN.  

Did anyone explain to Devan how pregnancy happens?

[SunnyBeBe]

Can you tell my why Cheesestix’s mother called the police on his girlfriend back in the US?

[RealReality]

Brittney's friend sounds so much smarter than this trip.

Did she even tell her friend that they wouldn't have a male escort in a highly conservative country?

*********************************************************************************************

BTW, Ari is really in full bloom right now. 

She says she is lonely and I get it, but Bini clearly sent his sister and friend to keep her company.  I know Ari doesn't like it, but he is trying the best he can.  

I understand Ari's concerns, but its weird as hell to call your s/o coworkers to spy on them.  If I got a call from a coworkers s/o asking me who I am and informing me that they are his girlfriend, I would give side eye to my coworker, because that is so weirdly unprofessional.  Just because she doesn't like Bini's job doesn't mean that there isn't some professional standard there.  Even if you're using a girl's ass as a bongo, when that girl is off work she doesn't need to be subject to some screechy weirdo.  

And, while Bini's sister and friend were clearly fucking with Ari (maybe they resented having to hang out with someone who clearly didn't want them there) the friend said that he makes more money at the club than he would at a hotel.  They need money unless she seriously wants her father to fully support her, her husband and her child for the rest of her life, he needs to try to make as much money as he can.  

 

[RealReality]

After being told, on multiple occasions, that the culture is conservative, Brittney can't wait to show off her tits in a low cut top.  I feel so sorry for her friend, but thankfully they have a camera crew there.  

[RealReality]

Also - I'm starting to get the impression that Ari is doing all of this just to get her father's attention.  Through approval or disapproval or a child, Ari seems desperate for her father's attention.  

She is so excited that the baby got her dad on a plane to visit her.  She is so worried that her dad won't like Bini, but her dad really seems to be just fine with him and I don't think he was that strict about being addressed as doctor, though that may have just been false modesty. 

[endure]

THIS to Ari and Brittany......

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

In the scene where Sumit and Jenny are talking about having a ring ceremony, there was what sounded like soap opera piano music playing in the background lol.

[Adeejay]

Sumit: "I am very concerned about the coronavirus. I am diabetic and Jenny is old."

I hate to say it, but baby Avi looks malnourished.

Brittany is clearly playing with fire.  There is a saying, "when you play with fire, don't be surprised if you get burn."

Watching this arrogant dumbo strut her entitledness around a Middle Eastern country has been the most disgusting thing I have seen on this show. This includes Lisa and Angela. Twerking Queen appeared a bit shaken after strollin' her stuff in the market. Bet the cameraman being with her, saved her sorry ass. Pathetic.

Her friend had so much more sense than Brittany.... he had an accident?  Is he okay?   Maybe you should cover up when we go out?
Maybe you shouldn’t get drunk?

 she’s lucky she had a camera crew with her, because there were no other women in that restaurant and they were getting serious side eye when Brittgot drunk and loud.

[Delete]

I would NOT be walking around a middle eastern country with my boobs on display. Brittany is beyond stupid and lucky to have a camera crew around. She's really disrespectful of the culture. Yazan is completely pussified. 

I haven't looked for spoilers but I bet Ari is gonna bolt back to America with Mom and Dad. They are such a mis-match and to be honest, I could not live there without some kind of support.  If you're not able to communicate with your  partner, all is lost. 

Sumeat and Jennay are such an odd couple. Jenny maybe be older but she acts like a needy, whiny tween. Sumeat acts like an old geezer. 

Deaven seemed more relieved than sad about the miscarriage. Get some birth control, girl. 

Jihoon's Mom seems like fun. I like her.

Unibrow and Cheesedick --- yawn. 

Next week: Kenny cries some more.

LOL, I'm not even mad that anyone would want to go to Jordan on a girls trip, I'm sure there are beautiful and interesting things to see.  But who the hell is going to Jordan on a girls trip to "TURN UP!"

I feel bad for her friend who clearly thought that Yazan would be their male escort and thought Brittney had the good sense god gave a billygoat and would cover up her lady bits a little.  I noticed that there was not a single woman in that bar, so while drinking may be allowed, it may not be acceptable for a woman to drink, or to be out at a bar.

Is’t Shakespeare great!!  A quote for every occasion even if it has to be tweaked!!

[steff13]

I just started the episode, but Brittany has put her eyebrows on crooked and it's very distracting.  

Also, Ari, you can't complain about money then complain that you need Bini to be home to help you with the baby.  Bini is not a high earner, he is probably going ot have to do multiple jobs to support you.  He can't do that and be home with you.  

[Baltimore Betty]

I noticed when Brittany's friend came to the hotel she did not have luggage, I also noticed that Brittany had one small carry on when she came off the plane, I think she knows that she is there for a quick trip because she does not seem like she travels light.  The girls take a tour of a market and she wears open toed sandals?  It also looks like daytime when they leave the hotel then it is nighttime when they get to the market so they are out at night with no male escort, sounds like a bad idea when in Jordan/Muslim country...not speaking the language and tipsy,

Brittany was able to afford a Movenpick?  I stayed in a Movenpick in Amsterdam, it was a bit pricey but really nice but then again I am trying very hard to spend my husband's children's inheritance. 

Ari says she does not want to take the baby out in the cold so she will wait in the hotel lobby for her parents, sends Baby to meet her parents plane alone, why couldn't she just wait in the taxi at the airport?  Why does Ari mistrust Baby so much, was he involved with someone else when she decided to sleep with him, (how you get him is how you lose him) or is she insecure about her post baby body?  His occupation is not a surprise to her. She cannot have a house husband and income too, she sounds like the husband that hits his wife then tells her how it hurts him to hurt her when she talks about having to go thru his phone.  Has he given her a reason to be suspicious other than his job at a club?  Thank goodness Baby is not a gynecologist, Ari's head would explode. Her mother's reaction to the baby was sweet.  Did I hear correctly that Bini's sister is names Wish?

I fast forwarded thru the Colombian scenes because I really hate looking at the participants...the little I have seen of them I have not seen any chemistry between them.  "Coawl-lowm-bia," is my only take away.

Sumit and Jenny...omg, I only see Jeffrey Tambor from Transparent when I look at Jenny. Why is their place always littered with beverage bottles?

Deavan and her MIL straining to poop over a hole was the most entertaining thing ever, Jihoon's mother seems like fun (aside from the on camera straining).

If that's the case, then these two deserve each other.  I hope they are forced to marry and stay in Jordan together for the rest of their lives.

Thanks for the explanation! I could tell he was blaming her, but the shouting match became very confusing, especially when he said the accident was her fault and she said he never did anything for her. Neither were making much sense. I got the feeling that at that point she didn't yet know he'd been kicked out of his home and job. Then again, there's been so much discussion on that that I don't know how she couldn't.

Anyway, she's so annoying I always wind up shouting at the tv, and his temper is frightening to watch.

Her little performance at the shops was cringe inducing. She's such an exhibitionist that she can't stop letting it all hang out even after she was forced to admit Yazan was right about covering up. I kept waiting for someone to come out and start beating her up. I probably would have cheered.

[Mrs. Hanson]

I know it is a tight race of who is more annoying:  Britney or Ari but I gotta give the prize to Ari as there is a baby involved. 

Ari - you complain you are alone.  People stop by and you are still annoyed.  I do give her a millimeter of room here as she may feel like she has to be hostess, but the folks in question should bring food in disposable dishes, bottled water and fresh cut fruit.  (Aren't I specific!)  Ari, you are in a hotel, alone (which I would LOVE) and your folks are next door, yet you still complain.  I have said this in other threads:  LEAVE HIS PHONE ALONE.  It wil not turn out well, even an innocent text will blow up, per your reaction.  Even a "Great night tonight, Bini!" from a dance partner will end poorly.  Just go home to Jersey, you hate it there.  And it seems like you kinda hate Bini, too.

Brit:  You call Azan a mama's boy yet you call your dad your BFF?  Some may call that two faced.  Oh wait........

Jenny and Sumit - I don't care.  I don't need to see them play wiffleball or whatever it was in their apt.

Deavan - this miscarriage (If there was one, frankly she plays fast and loose with the truth) is a silver lining.  You don't need another kid with this unemployed/underemployed man.  And for all your sulking, news flash:  If there was a baby, he/she was Jihoon's too.  Wanna ask him how he is feeling?  Yah, no, did not think so.....it is all about you.

Mayleeeeza - ZZZzzzzzzz.  Just say you are staying at your parents as you want to give Cheesy, Mom and Aunt time to catch up.  Why keep bringin up an open sore?  If I were Mom I would be at a hotel anyway, so there would be no awkward conversation.  Then again, I would not have my beek in my son's business either.

[Anhourofmylife]

I’m sure this was explained at some point, but I missed it. Why can’t Kenny and Armando live in the U.S.? They would have no problem getting married here.  And what about Bini and Ari? Why continue to live in Ethiopia? Can’t he get a visa to move to the U.S.? Her parents seem really nice and would likely help get them on their feet. It would sure beat worrying afar about their safety each and every day.

I was wondering the same thing.  Can't they get married in the US and go back and live in Mexico if they want?  Except for the Corona-factor, they could have a great wedding celebration in the US.  Perhaps they want to live in Mexico so that Armando's daughter can be near family.

I agree with you. I'd like to add it seems like she is constantly breastfeeding, and he seems to be crying a lot,  maybe her breast milk doesn't have enough nourishment for the baby. (I never breastfed my children so I am not an expert, and editing must be considered, but it seems to me she is feeding him a lot for as thin as he is.)

I also find it odd that when someone is holding the baby, it is usually not Ari, unless she is breastfeeding. Just seems like not much of a connection between Ari and the baby. Doesn't seem like she is cuddling, just holding. There is a difference.

[steff13]

When she was changing his diaper, his cry sounded like he was starving.  You know how you can tell the difference between cries.  I wonder if he's tongue-tied?  Being a first time mom, Ari might not know to check for that, and I don't know what kind of pediatric care they have in Ethiopia as far as well baby visits and whatnot.  

[SunnyBeBe]

I suspect that Ari, Brittney and actually all of this cast of characters would be pretty much the way they are, NO MATTER where they lived or who it was with.  I think it would be difficult for anyone to live with and get along with Ari or Brittney.  It's like they have personality disorders.
