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.

Why do all these people cram such huge amounts of food in their mouths at one time?  Everyone they show eating in restaurants, take the biggest bites I’ve ever seen😂.

Because as he said, Chuck has helped out all of his other children already.  But oh, wait, you mean you're NOT one of his children?  Hahaha  It's not like this house flipping scam idea is Libby's (at least as far as we know from what we're being shown).  On what planet is a son-in-law entitled to his father-in-law's money in the same capacity that his own children would be?  Rhetorical question.

I have never, ever liked Andrei because of his gruffness and entitlement issues.  Just what in the world does Libby see in this lazy, entitled, borderline (if not actual) abusive a--hole?

She seems to think he's God's gift to women when she describes him as the best looking husband of the franchise.  And good on her for thinking that, but she's either puffing him up so as to not have to admit she's made a huge, lifelong mistake, or she really does feel that way about him.

I think, however, to most of the rest of us, he's far from the best looking husband, because his laziness and entitlement = ugly inside = ugly outside.

 

Andrei’s sense of entitlement is unbelievable.  Libby seems to think he’s should get whatever he wants.   He deserves it, why?   He deserves nothing, nobody owes him anything.  He’s been nothing but rude and nasty.  He really seems to think he’s smarter than anyone when actually the opposite is true.  The producers must tell Chuck to act supportive of the idiot, because he certainly seemed to have nothing but contempt for him from the start.  Andrei actually thinks after he works for Chuck for a month or so, he’ll give him $100,000!

At some point my money is on Andrei getting fed up with playing the lazy slob always asking Chuck for money, and all of this will come to a stop. In the meantime, they're playing it up as much as they can

I don’t see this as a fake set up by Chuck+. If I remember correctly, in the beginning Chuck gave the couple a home they could live in rent free. All Andrew had to do was maintain it. Andrew did not do a thing. Not only that but he got ticked off at Chuck for making him cut the lawn. So Andrei insisted they move and pay rent. Libby did what Andrei demanded . Andrei then sent Libby to ask for a loan from Chuck, in order to pay said rent while Libby was pregnant.  Andrei then decided to go to truck driving school which  Chuck paid for.  He hated the truck driver’s lifestyle because he thought he should start at the top working short hauls during the daytime due to his wife needing him at home,so he quit. He decided to stay home and care for his baby while Libby went back to the family business.  
Andrei is under the impression that he is the smartest person in the room we just happen to know better. I’m afraid he’s not playing the lazy slob, he is one.

 Andrei is beyond delusional. Why he thinks anyone should give him a $100,000 to start his business, is ridiculous. Get a job, and take that money and start your business so that you'll be doing 2 jobs at once.

Premieres April 25, 2021 on TLC, and several days earlier on Discovery+.

This is the second straight time (after Jovi and Yara) that a couple has stayed in Vegas, but off the Strip. My wife and I wondered if the Strip casinos don't want the distraction of a camera crew, or if The Tuscany just offered the producers a great deal.

Brandon's "joke" on Julia was horrid. And Brandon: the 644,000+ permanent residents of Las Vegas will be very amused at your declaration that nobody actually lives there.

Could Angela's nonstop cackling (there is no other word to describe it) be any more annoying?

Andrei's entitlement knows no bounds, and his FIL's counteroffer (come work for me and learn the house-flipping business, THEN maybe I'll loan you the $100K you want to go out on your own) was more than generous. If Andrei tried flipping a house right now, he'd be taken to the cleaners by contractors who would smell the blood of a naive newbie. He'd run out of money before he was even half-finished.

 

 

All  Excellent points.

In my house, we starting doing a roleplay of Andrei selling a house.  "You buy house b/c I say it is best.  You?  Lady? Can I speak to your father or husband?  I need to talk to the person who makes the financial decisions."  He's the least personable person in a field of smarmy people.  He has no sense of money or shame.  I agree with the BiL....he's trying to see what sticks and he wants to do it with Father Libby's money.  Also, didn't some of the sleuths in here also figure out that Chuck's business is hella shady? Tampa trash.

Brandon's joke was screwed up b/c you can tell that Julia would love to get tf out of rural VA and get to Vegas.  Also, dude?  Ppl do live in Vegas.

Oh, Kahlani, girl.  You've already saddled yourself with 2 kids and a manchild husband. You are gonna add mortgage to that?!  

Angela and Michael are so fucking cringey.  I can't. Literally her first scene this season is taking a shit in the hope to lose a little bit for weighing herself.  And, the previews for the season show video phone sex.  Lawd, what have I done to deserve this?!  Can I get some of that vintage TWOP brain bleach!?  Also, are the Nigerians (Mike's female family members are so so strikingly lovely!) trolling about the baby thing? They have to be, right?

I don't understand Mike and Natalie.  Are there 2 Mikes and 2 Natalies, and they just switch out with each other?  The level of confusion...I don't know when ppl are mad or not mad or whatever.   I don't understand the whole ring situation...just get a little flexible silicon ring or something. 

 I don't think Mike loves Natalie or even likes her.  He said he had a huge debt of $30,000, and I think he's doing this show to pay off his debt.  So they will divorce as soon as he gets enough money. I haven't understood a lot of her actions, but I think he's a real azzhat.

I don't blame Natalie for being pissed about the ring.....Mike of course just shrugs and ok whatever, it doesn't mean anything but if it gets you off my back fine get me the $3 ring. 

 

What is it he does for work again that the ring may get caught on something???

These sisters giving Andre shit is ridiculous. They butt into every aspect of their sister's life. Do they think their dad is a dumbass? Let him make his own business decisions, and shut the hell up. It sounds like she's not been a part of the business thus far, while they (and their spouses) have taken advantage of their father's kindness, so stfu.

My only pertinent comment is that way back when, remember Libby always wore the super dark lipstick? It looked good but always looked "off " to me. I couldn't decide if it was her mouth or what.

Now she is not wearing lipstick and I think she really needs it.

That is all.

Libby has weird lips.
