Xebug67 April 27, 2021 Share April 27, 2021 What's happened to Natalie's face since their past season? She looks like her face is made of melting wax. She's definitely put on weight, which if it were almost anyone else I would not point this out in a negative light, but because it's HER and she was so derisive and mean about Mike's weight I cut her no slack on the weight issue. She also looks like she's suddenly gained a witch's pointy chin, and her eyes look beady, when usually they're so large. Her nose also seems to now have a hooked, beak-like appearance. Previously her nose never bothered me about her and I always thought she was very attractive despite it's larger size. It never, however, looked hooked and beak-like to me before. Again, physical flaws I'm only pointing out because she doesn't hesitate to criticize others about their flaws or imperfections, especially Mike's. Maybe finally all the ugly on her inside is manifesting itself on the outside. 17 Link to comment

Brandon's one of them, I'd bet my life on it. Maybe Julia should come in with Brandon's credit card and a bunch of designer shopping bags that look full: "Brandon, I borrow credit card to go shopping." and give him said credit card. See if Brandon likes the joke. Fucking asshole. 11 6 Link to comment

Yes, I too thought she was incredibly attractive when the episodes were in Ukraine and they were at her mama's apartment.... Not so much lately. When she came here though it seems she got her fillers and boobs before she came, and looked kind of distorted. Since she has been here though she has put the pounds on ( I agree, it happens to the best of us) and it's really telling because of how she was so emphatic and disciplined about what to eat. 4 Link to comment

For example, Julia used "he" correctly in a place she would normally use "him". Yeah, she could have learned a little, but my bet is on the fact that the constant "him" was a put on. And Nat and Mike seemed to keep forgetting they "hate each other". For sure they are both whack jobs, but I think SOME (not all) of the bs is bad acting. Also, and forgive my pettiness, but Julia, please whiten those teeth! They're acting? I just assumed that Natalie got her meds adjusted and Mike's moved on to harder liquor.

ALittleShelfish April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 I'm sure the bed jumping was producer shenanigans, but dang, Kalani doesn't have to go along with it. She could have been the lone grownup in the room to say "No, that's not cool" but alas, the paycheck speaks. I know i know i know. I said i wasn't watching. And I mostly didn't. I turned TLC on because idk how to retrain my body to do anything else on Sunday at 8pm. Hopped on the spin bike for a bit, packed up some ebay sales, and by the time it was over, I realized I'd "watched" about 5 minutes of it. Was definitely able to catch the bed jumping and some of Angela's cackling. She's gross and when she comes on next time, I'll turn it off entirely. Her cackle should be my reminder to quit this franchise. 1 2 Link to comment

Shelbie April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 Vulgar is exactly the right word to describe Angela and she has been getting worse every episode.

AZChristian April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 I remember a few months back when discussions about BabyGirlLisa and Usman were new. People said, "She's MUCH worse than Angela. Angela is a bit crass, but she's funny." Then we started to see Angela on the show again. Now we all seem to agree that she is CRUDE and NOT funny. 8 Link to comment
Tuneful April 28, 2021 Share April 28, 2021 (edited) Angela seems like the type (often an addict) where if a little of anything is good, a lot is better. A few double-entendres, a wink, a cackle (isn't that cute haha) have become full-on crudity and obscenity. Beyond the bad taste, this show is broadcast starting at 7 when there could be kids in the room. And I agree Angela should have been banned for threatening OR carrying out violence. So should some others,such as Tammy (Kolonic/Assole-you) and Charlie (Elizabeth's brother); also Dean? I hope Sharp is sued at some point. As far as Nuttily's face, she has been monkeying with things like surgery, Botox, lip fillers, implants (maybe in cheeks too) and it's thrown her face all off--which a weight gain also didn't help. Also, some medications can cause facial swelling...I'm wondering if cosmetic procedures are really cheap in Ukraine and Russia...Nuttily used to be rather attractive in an unusual way, not now, more witchy. Early in the season I felt she had an eating disorder because she was so rigid about her food and drink and so controlling of Mike's. Can't wait to see more passive-aggressive storming off by Mikey next week. Oh, that's right, I'm not watching this season. I shall be working my way through War and Peace instead.

She's definitely put on weight, which if it were almost anyone else I would not point this out in a negative light, but because it's HER and she was so derisive and mean about Mike's weight I cut her no slack on the weight issue. She also looks like she's suddenly gained a witch's pointy chin, and her eyes look beady, when usually they're so large. Her nose also seems to now have a hooked, beak-like appearance. Previously her nose never bothered me about her and I always thought she was very attractive despite it's larger size. It never, however, looked hooked and beak-like to me before. Again, physical flaws I'm only pointing out because she doesn't hesitate to criticize others about their flaws or imperfections, especially Mike's. Maybe finally all the ugly on her inside is manifesting itself on the outside. Others have pointed out the cosmetic procedures, but I am forever reminded of my former Russian language teacher's graphic depiction (with big arm motions) of the babushkafication that befalls most Slavic women: грудь, живот, попа. Chest, stomach, butt. All shapely in youth, and then all cartoonishly balloon out after the birth of a couple of children or age 35, whichever happens first. Sure, women all over the world become matronly with weight and age. But for some reason, it feels more extreme in Ukrainian and Russian women, because the stereotypes about them run from super-thin (thigh gaps!) pageant-beauty mail-order bride to old, fat babushka who won't let anyone go hungry. There are some camera angles of Natalie where I'm like...yeah, the babushkafication process is happening as we watch. 4 5 Link to comment

There were rumors she was pregnant and she really looks like she may be here. She probably didn't want the pregnancy announced if they weren't married. I bet Mike was going to send her home, she got pregnant so he finally married her but as soon as he did she lost the baby. This explains the weight gain and all the wedding drama ending in a quick separation. 1 1 Link to comment
Frozendiva May 1, 2021 Share May 1, 2021 Babushkafication is a new word for me as a person of Ukrainian heritage. Am not there quite yet. One former coworker of Russian/Jewish background kinda wore a lot of clothing more suited to her 70 plus year old mother. So maybe it is a thing. 2 Link to comment

I can't afford anymore and anyways, Discovery made the decision for me by not offering it up in Canada. Even our Netflix and Prime doesn't have the full content or same content as you guys down in the States. I am also in Canada, it's so frustrating when I read about someone talking about a must-see movie or show and I try to find it only to find out it can't be watched in Canada! So close yet so far away:( 5 Link to comment

TazDevil May 1, 2021 Share May 1, 2021 Just fast forwarded through the More to Love that aired last night. Were there not any bonus scenes? Or did they forget to label them so I'd know where to stop? Link to comment

hookedontv May 2, 2021 Share May 2, 2021 I’m watching this but fast forwarding a lot. I can’t stomach Angela and saw the part about Michael and his family talking about babies. Why is this even a topic? She’s too old and not in great health. It’s ridiculous that it keeps being brought up. I am the same age as Angie-believe me, kids are off the table. Asuelo’s voice is like nails on a chalk board. Libby and Andrrrrrei and the coven-just no. 4 Link to comment

She's definitely put on weight, which if it were almost anyone else I would not point this out in a negative light, but because it's HER and she was so derisive and mean about Mike's weight I cut her no slack on the weight issue. She also looks like she's suddenly gained a witch's pointy chin, and her eyes look beady, when usually they're so large. Her nose also seems to now have a hooked, beak-like appearance. Previously her nose never bothered me about her and I always thought she was very attractive despite it's larger size. It never, however, looked hooked and beak-like to me before. Again, physical flaws I'm only pointing out because she doesn't hesitate to criticize others about their flaws or imperfections, especially Mike's. Maybe finally all the ugly on her inside is manifesting itself on the outside.

CrazyInAlabama May 2, 2021 Share May 2, 2021 (edited) When Kalani and Asuelu were house hunting, and talking in the car, what the hell was he wearing? I couldn't see his entire top, but it looked like he raided the kid's closets. Why was Angela telling Michael that no matter how much weight she loses, she'll always have big boobs, and get a big butt? Her butt will be the last part to show weight loss, and it's not going anywhere, and I'm guessing she already has a boob lift, and whatever else she wants booked.

I thought she got a dog. I’ve seen some pictures of the new Grangie after her 90 pound weight loss, but said pictures looked like they’d been photoshopped. If it really is Grangie, she looks older, weirder, and even less attractive if that’s even possible. 1 Link to comment
