S06.E09: Not So Silent Partners

[Mondrianyone]

Modern medicine is so amazing. Angela has gastric surgery, but it's Michael who loses 273 pounds of ugly fat! Go figure.

I may have to stop watching this franchise. There are too many seriously criminal and abusive people here, and watching them makes me feel complicit. Plus, Pillow Talk is no longer fun when the clowns on the couch yuk it up as monsters like Angela abuse their Third World hostages. I've possibly reached my limit.

Anyone know what part of Maryland they drove to?

According to Chuck's IG, the Family Reunion is in Leonardtown. Don't worry, BB, they're nowhere near you! 

I also came across some interesting info about the Potthasts of Maryland which I'll post over on the couples' page. 

[Dobian]

This show has sunk as low as it can go.  Claudio the tech shop guy was priceless with his expressions.  Angela is a total abomination, completely gross and obnoxious.  I hope at this point Michael is just playing along for his TLC paycheck and is not seriously into continuing this sham of a marriage.  Rats seem like appropriate pets for a couple like Mike and Natalie.  Assuelo talks like he's four.  Ronald is building some kind of a panic room to hold Tiffany and her kids hostage in.  The rest are boring and unwatchable.  And Darcey and Stacey ads, the perpetual 14 year olds.  Nice to see Darcey is going to humiliate her daughters on TV again.  What a mom.  They need to call this 90 Day Freak Show.

She cannot be pregnant.  She doesn’t have enough boobs to feed three kids.

Yikes that creepy windowless room for the kid.😱

 

Given Ronald's insane insistence earlier, I wondered if he's going to keep them prisoner in there. And only half-jokingly.

I just saw a pretty influencer showing fashion Amazon Prime deals and surprise, surprise she showed the visor hat. It was cute too. I guess its all in the presentation. I wonder if someone can make the bra purse look good.

I've seen the entire episode so I probably won't be joining you guys in the live chat. Don't think I can watch it twice. 

@Frozendiva unless the RV has 18 wheels nobody should need a special license. We have one and I drive it every time we travel. It's not a rig. I think Andrei volunteered so that he could stay away from the other assholes. 

So, um, about this scene...The rat isn't the only rodent in the house. (I've circled the...rat.)

So now we know where the expression her hair looks like a rat's nest comes from!  Little fella felt right at home!  So gross!

I hate Pillow Talk.  What’s the purpose?  A bunch of pajama clad has beens on the bed eating snacks and commenting on things we’ve heard about one hundred times already.  One guy getting heavier by the minute.

[greekmom]

One thing really bothered me is that TLC is keeping Angela. She needs to go along with Rose's ex. The way she spoke to Michael was down right abusive. We all suffered second hand embarrassment for the tech guy.

Despite if Micheal is or is not a scammer as far as we know he's never treated Angela as bad as she has treated him.

Forgot to add that I remember participating in a Friday Night frauded that the podcaster Frauded by TLC had back when she was able to provide some insight.  Robert from Robert and Anny came on and I threw the question out there: "What is Angela really like?" Robert replied that Angela was a really nice lady. So I thought maybe it was partial TLC editing and her portraying a "character".   At this point I am going to disagree with Robert.  Angela is a straight up bitch that needs to leave our televisions.

You’re right.  Michael is in for the pay check and probably was from the beginning.  How could anyone love someone like her?

Viewers just love train wrecks.  I know professionals who watch this shitfest.  Michael is from Nigeria with the bare minimum, yet he has more class than his American woman.  Which won’t be too long now as I see.

I work at a pet store.  Rats are amazing pets, lots of people have them as pets.  They are clean, funny, cuddly. 
I thought it was funny, how Yara talked to Gwen. And it all worked out in the end. 

Gwen is a fabulous mother in law.  I wish I had one like her.  Sure she took Yara back.  If she didn’t, she would never had seen her granddaughter again.  Yara is very spoiled.  She knew what kind of job he had.  He probably makes a bundle of money for what he does.  You can’t just get another job nowadays.  People are out of work.  You came to the U.S., now shut the fuck up.  Get a hobby or learn how to knit.  Everything can’t go your way.  Things get better in time.  Be happy you have a healthy child and good hard working husband, and mother in law who’s willing to help you.

[Persnickety1]

Hey, Michael, Angela just doesn't need you any more to stay on this show. 

She can now sashay her ass right on over to The Single Life where she can, for lack of a better word, have a one-woman show. 

I would not be in the least shocked to learn she's already negotiating and perhaps even already signed a contract with TLC for that franchise.  

She's achieved her goal to be reality TV "star" and is done with you, Michael.  Better luck next time.  

Glad to see Ronald's handy work building that dark, windowless, claustrophobic cell for Daniel.  All it needed was a stainless commode in a corner to make the vision complete.  

Here again, I think Tiffany is using Ronald just to keep her ever-expanding ass on the show.  She bought an open-ended ticket so she can call all of the shots during her visit and threaten to leave at a moment's notice if Ronald doesn't kiss her ass in a fashion which suits her, dragging those poor children along for what will be a disastrous ride just to get another TLC paycheck.  Ronald's a loser but dangling his daughter like a human carrot in front of him and then yanking her away is cruel.  I'm glad that at least Mother Ronald is getting to spend some time with her granddaughter.  

Natalie is off her nut, Mike is a pig and Trisha is vile.  I'm hoping the cameras were rolling when Natalie bounced for good.  

I'm probably at a table for one here, but I love the banter between Yara and Gwen.  Their conversation in the car and Gwen imitating Yara had me genuinely laughing and I loved the smile between them when Gwen was leaving Yara and the baby at the apartment.  I understood Yara's desire for privacy and just wanting to be in her own routine with the baby, and I've no doubt if she became overwhelmed Gwen be there in a heartbeat to take her back to her home.  

I can't stand Brandon, Julia or Ma and Pa Kettle, so I tune them out when any of the four appear on my screen. 

I was hoping Kalani would get Asuelo out of camera range and shove him over a cliff.  His reaction time is so delayed he probably wouldn't even have thought to yell HELP on his way down.  I really wish TCL would either give these chucklefucks their own show so they're off of this franchise or kick them to the curb.  I'm still nauseated from their discussion of their sexual escapades at the cabin.  Blech.  

I hope the family Potthast drive off into the sunset in that RV and are never heard from again except for maybe an episode of ID Discovery's "Disappeared."

Love is blind.

Angela may be a nice woman. She may also be playing a role. We see a particular edit.

What we see is abuse. She comes across as controlling, needy, and insecure. Mykull comes across as he is letting himself be abused like this. It may be genuinely toxic or it may just be a show. He wants that Green Card and outta Nigeria.

This episode should have been titled “Not So Silent, But Deadly, Partners”.

Well, if she is playing a role I would say it is type casting, the nasty seems to come so easily for her. 

I do believe she is a nasty piece of work in real life and while they invent story lines as in Angela actually having a baby (like that would ever happen) you can't bring out Angela's level of crude, nasty, crass, abusive behavior by a producer directing her to be mad at Michael, that shit is already there just waiting to erupt.

It seemed like there were more people on the RV when they were at Libby's sisters house, older kids got on board, they disappeared when they got on the road.

Charlie and his overbleached, overtanned wife took a flight but left their kids to go in the RV.  Maybe the kids went into the spacious other rooms of the vehicle.

Does not-the-screaming-realtor sister have a husband?  Only the screamer’s husband is ever around.

Angela’s cigarette habit probably costs more than some people’s rent money.  A baby?  It would probably come out with nicotine poisoning, but she could never carry a baby in the first place.  I think the whole Michael thing was fabrication.

Mike is an asshole, his mother is cruel.  I was looking at that Thanksgiving dinner he was excited about again.  It consisted of an empty pale small Turkey, potatoes and coleslaw.  They were bragging about that?  WTF?   Natalie has to go .. somewhere else but the house he lives in.  Mike should go live with his mother already.

Where was Julia and Brandon tonight?  Betty and husband are therefor the check too.  
 

I turned it off when Tiffany came on in that big dress.  She needs a stylist ASAP.

In one of the cartoons, they showed that the owner of Acme (that the Coyote bought everything from) was the Roadrunner.   So, maybe the Roadrunner could show up, with the Help! sign, for Asuelu.    I bet the crew is so sick of Asuelu that they would lose any footage.

I find Yara to be brash and ungrateful.  Miss Gwen has been nothing but kind and generous to her and the way she speaks to her sometimes is appalling. “You are always up Jovi’s ass.”  How rude and disrespectful.  She has been “independent since she was 17”, so clearly she doesn’t know what a loving, supportive family looks like.  Of her free will, she got on a plane to America, got pregnant for a second time and flew to Vegas to get married.  So yes, she did sign up for all it entails.  What I wouldn’t give to have Jovi quit his high paying job to work at the Piggly Wiggly, just so he can be around all the time.  Bet her gold-digging arse wouldn’t like that.

This pretty much sums up my feelings as well.  I would also add that Angela is an abusive monster.  She is a classic abuser and we have seen her abuse MYKAAAL both physically and verbally.  If the genders were reversed there would be no way that TLC would continue with this story line.  It should be the same in this case.  Angela should be off our screens immediately.

Why did Kalani feel the need to confess to Asuelu about seeing the attorney? Keep that shit to yourself,  and keep the attorney on retainer.  You may need it one day.

Mike is such an abusive gas lighting son of a bitch.  He's yelling at Natalie about how nice his mother is to her?  Seriously?  The crusty old bitch tried to get someone to stop the wedding, she tells Mike to give Natalie $5k and send her home (like she was bought on Amazon)  and tells Natalie that she's "getting up there" when talking about having children.  That's nice?  OMG, I'd hate to see a nasty MIL in that case.  There are no words for how much I despise this creep!

That made me super uncomfortable. Angela berating and humiliating michael in front of the innocent tech guy was not a "you go girl" moment. And Anny should've remembered how SHE felt when PornGranny offered her money to return to South America.

We say that about Family Libby, too, but to me it's all the same. Whether she's like that in real life or not, if you're really a "nice woman" but you're willing to play the part of a controlling abuser just to be on TV then you're still an asshole. It's one thing to play the part of a raging lunatic in a scripted series; everyone knows that's fiction. But when you're literally playing yourself you're allowing the public to think that's how you truly are. This is one case where creative editing can't be blamed.

On Pillow Talk last night, he said that he experienced it at a Tell-All.  I thought he referring to when she went off on Avery (Omar) and him for refusing to shake Jesse's hand at a Before the 90 Days tell-all  She demanded that Avery respect her because she's a grandmother of 6.  At another point, onstage, Rebecca had to physically block Angela from going after Avery and her mother.  The entire tell-all cast refused to film with Angela after that, and TLC edited away that Angela hit Avery's mother, chest-bumped Rebecca and flipped over a table.  And, of course, now every tell-all includes a violent confrontation by Angela.

Angela is heinous.
