S08.E01: I Think You're My Future Wife

[ethalfrida]

Brandon is on the wrong show. He should be one of the mama's boys ... (I love a Mama's Boy).

[Neurochick]

I don't think Jovi or Brandon want to get married.  

They both want to date Yara/Julia but don't want to travel, so get apply for the K1 so they can go on a long date.  

Brandon's mom was right regarding birth control.  No birth tourism for Brandon.

I hope Michael unloads Emotion Eastern European and hangs out with that cute cat.

[LennieBriscoe]

IDK about this season.

I already don't like Baby-Faced Farmer Boy or Toothy Travelin' Man.

And I sure as heck don't want to see anymore of What'sHerName and Zaid or Paul Bunyan and the Crying Game. 

But I'm hooked on youse guys! 

So the 90DF Merchandise Store will soon be open for business! Along with our Classic line of handbags and sweatshirts (with such memorable sayings as "I Did the BJ") we hope to offer embroidered masks!

I get stabby watching Josh act all petulant about birth control. He’s only cavalier about an unplanned pregnancy because he knows his parents will do the bulk of the work and contribute significantly financially. Also, if you want to bang your Russian fiancé all night in the same room, you can go right ahead and GET YOUR OWN PLACE. I’m not a prude; I’d let my son stay in the same room as his girlfriend but he needs to know that me hearing their sex life is as gross as him overhearing mine. Josh’s parents are way too involved and have perpetuated this man-child’s lack of independence. Let the kid pick up his fiancé on his own for god’s sake. 
 

Is Yara on drugs? I wouldn’t even wanna have lunch with her much less marry her. She seems irritated and condescending all the time even when she’s smiling. He’s an idiot for suggesting a night out after a 30 hour flight though. 
 

I wish we didn’t have to suffer through more of Natalie and Mike; they’re one of my least favorite couples on this franchise. All I can think of is her crazy mom stroking her hair while she cried in bed like a 3 year old.

OMG. This cracked me up. When I read "I did the BJ" I laughed out loud alone in my home office.

Your are nicer than me, I would not my son's GF (only a gf, no fiance) stay in the same room when she visited.  But yes, Brandon and his gf can stay in their own home and bang away.

Also in their backstory is Mike's fretting and asking Natalie if she's sure that she will like living in Sequim, since she's such a glamorous, big-city gal.  I don't recall her being concerned, and when he visited her in Kiev, they did nothing cosmopolitan.  (He went to the embassy and day-drinking.  She took him to a small church, not the cathedral.)  She was more concerned that he was $30,000 in debt, which was preventing him from wanting to start a family.

Oh, it is coming back to me now.  I did see his first season, but I quickly forget most of these people.  If he needs to pay off debt before having kids, he needs a younger Ukrainian, but maybe the money from TLC will pay off his debt.  I really can't stand either of them.  

Maybe there is another person on this franchise that would be a better match for Mike and for Natalie.

[Scarlett45]

I think Natalie is very pretty, but I remember thinking she was lying about her age last time, and that’s why she was so in a rush to have a baby. She’s likely 40 (or close to it) during the filming of this episode.

Her mother looks much older than most mothers on the show so that would be an additional indicator of that.

Man his parents look old.  Dad looks 75 and mom looks 65.

The father has much older kids from previous marriages.  If the mother is 65 she could have had him around 36 years old, not unusual.

Yeah.  Attorneys who have solo practices and work for contingency fees and even movie stars have fluctuating earnings, but they probably have assets to point to as well.  She blows her money on tats and ring lights.  She also seems to have aged quite a bit in two years, not that she ever resembled her filtered pics in any way.

I would guess she was a failed investigator.   If she had been successful she would be able to show 3 or 4 years of tax returns of appropriate income.

Anyway a fairly enjoyable episode, looks like there will be lots to snark about. Can’t wait for all the shit to hit all the fans. Rebecca is looking older, and fatter. Meanwhile Zied cleans up well.   Natalie meets Uncle Beau ... should be a drama filled  20 days.

There's not a subforum for 90-Day Fiance OG yet.  Can the moderators or a member create one?  Otherwise, in a few episodes, these topics are going to be all over the site.

Oh, and we were all so distracted by Brandon's terrifying parents we didn't pay enough attention to Jovi's people. On the one hand, Mother Jovi expresses doubt that Yara will be happy because in NOLA everyone hunts and fishes and lives the outdoor life. Meanwhile, Jovi's friends are all "he loves to party and go to bars and he's all about the nightlife". So which is it? I mean, either way, Yara's doomed, but they should get their stories straight. 

I think it's both.  I'm from the south and Jovi reminds me A LOT of the men down here.  They are into hunting, fishing, having a job that keeps them outdoors AND they LOVE to party.  Jovi doesn't want a wife or even a serious relationship he wants a hot chick to party with.  Him suggesting they go out after her long flight was so telling as to what kind of person he is.  He didn't even consider her feelings.  The nicest thing I can say about him is that at least he seems aware of this and fully admits that he is that type of person. 

 

Brandon may be 27 but he looks like he's about 16.  From a female POV I could never take him seriously as a BF.

Hard to believe that someone who has travelled as much as Dong Bong Jovi has wouldn’t realize how Yara felt after a 30 hour flight.

I wanted there to be a subforum for this show when they created the others, but the decision was made that the flagship show, this one, would be down here and the others would have subforums. So, the decision has already been made.

He reminds me of a lot of guys here in Minnesota, too, especially the guys up north.  Love the outdoors, love working at Mom and Dad's resort, perhaps want to own a resort of their own, perhaps own a guided fishing company but on the weekends they can LIGHT! IT! UP!  

100% on the butt hurt feelings on not going out to party.  Dude, get over it!

I loved Howdy Doody's parents.  The BC phone call to the gyno -- that has to be producer driven.  I don't care how small and rural the town is, the gyno, nor the gyno office, isn't going to have a 10 minute convo about birth control on the phone. You're either making an appointment or you aren't.  Not to mention, on whose insurance is she getting birth control?

Why bring back two couples whose stories have already played out? Yawn...fast forward.

I do want to see the new cougar who's sending phones to her boy toy in Africa. That looks like it will be just chock full of self delusion and denial. 

[Colfrmb]

I’m enjoying fresh “faces” and return cast members mostly so I can see how they filter their online photos. Last season just got old seeing the differences.  I’ve watched the franchises enough that I feel like we are 2 steps ahead of the cast members in the story lines.  
For the record, I know a lady in her late 60’s who imported a much, much younger Columbian boy toy and currently she’s busy showering him with gifts.  I really want her to watch the show but I know she thinks she is not as dumb and naive as these people... hers is True Love.  So it happens that people do fall for this crap, not even to get on television.

The women on this show who are Russian or Ukrainian don't have the best track record and their temperament/attitude/coldness don't ever seem like a good match for any of the Americans they find themselves with, except maybe David and his "I've dated 100s of Ukrainian and Russia women". None of these people seem like they are going to break that mold, but I'm happy to give them a chance. 

I see we haven't met all the couples yet, and haven't gotten the return of Tarik.  Two hours was def long enough to get to everyone, but I guess we are dragging this out.  I wonder when this was filmed compared to the Rona timing here in the States.  

95% of the Russian/Ukrainian women on this show have had a deep issue with not getting to live in the heart of NYC, Miami, or LA upon moving to the US. Anfisa was the only one that didn't see to have this problem, but she lives in Orange County. 

Russian women love to dress up, show themselves off, go out, and suburban life won't cut it for most of them. 

Julia is obviously going to swindle Mr. Sparkling eyes. Unless there was a sonogram with her name on it that can be verified, Yara may have faked her pregnancy. I have overheard MANY conversations amongst Russian women (in Russian) detailing how ignorant and naive they see Americans, how clever they see themselves, and excitement over "winning the green card."

This isn’t  a HIPAA issue. The girlfriend isnt the doctor’s patient so the doc isn’t  violating her privacy; seemed they were only talking in generic terms and the doctor may have said, “she can make an appointment to come and see me.” That is, if the conversation really happened at all.  Who can call and directly get a doctor on the line, much less one who wants to chat for free about a random person?

Exactly.  The most you'd get is the appointment scheduler on the phone and the extent of that convo would be:  "We have X appointment available and what is your insurance information."

Agreed per Brandon:  I wanted her phone to ring in the middle of the call!!!  That would have been funny.  Seriously, like others have said, he is 27 not 17.  I think although it was for show that whole scene is indicative of the dynamics that have probably have gone on for years.  Happily surprised he has a 40 hour a week job.  I would never rag on a guy who does roach/ant control - it is a very needed job!!  

Also agreed per Jovi: "What will he say?  Will he drop me?  Will he propose?"  I don't like Yara so I am jaded, lol.

I agree with Jovi's friend and mother.  He's not emotionally ready for marriage.  Plus he hasn't really planned ahead for how his job will affect the 90 day process.

Yeah, what the hell?  He works 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off, and he's going to be home for only 2 weeks after she gets there.  Seems to me he'd plan for her to get there at the beginning of the 4-week period.

I think it's insane for him to even consider this.  He has a great life right now--a cool job that he's rather uniquely qualified for, pays well, and suits his desire to travel a lot.  I'm not convinced that the girl was pregnant, and I would hope that the only "lesson" he learned from it would be to be more careful, not to upend his life on an extreme deadline.

Honestly, this would work out better for me. Although I'm against these new apps on principle, since cutting the cable cord I currently pay Philo $30 a month and I really only watch TLC and Discovery channel shows on it.
