Exactly! Good grief I can't with those two assholes. Mike sure was on a high-horse about being an expert on relationships. He was so shocked that Gino paid for dates. What did he think he was doing? Shut up, Mike - you sound like a fool.

Exactly!  And who (shall we guess?) paid THOUSANDS more for mere phone or computer contact?

Oh great!  Thanks so much. 😀

I don't believe a single profession of love from Jasmine. She's utterly ridiculous. All her praises of Gino are wrapped in shockingly humiliating insults and revelations.

Do people really believe that she's crazy in love with him?

Ben's talk about the lion and gazelles made me puke a little in my mouth. Of course he is one of those guys who thinks men need to keep their women in line. 

 

I wish someone had pointed out to him that it's the FEMALE lions that hunt gazelle.

I was surprised the show didn't at least have Coll-ub on, as he didn't do anything wrong. I figured he would show up to give an update on whether they've spoken or not.

There's pathetic and then there's Mike. He wants to come back the next day to say goodbye to her boys.. sureeee. I'd file a restraining order on him because he is just not leaving her alone. What she did to him was wrong but what do you expect out of a girl who's two baby daddies are jailbird one-night-stands and another boyfriend was a hit-man? If that's her type, which it's shown to be,  does he think she's gonna be into him? Give it up man.

I struggle deciding if he is just pathetic or is he psychotic? Like, seriously dude, how many ways could she tell you NO and GTFO of her life? and he just would not stop. Even after he left, after all his talk of well, I won't be the first to reach out....whadaya know? Mike was texting her and offering to throw money at her.....I was so disappointed to hear that they are back together. I know people keep saying well in the preview for part 2, she storms off so she is probably done with him for good. But....I think she is just pissed off at the friend/translator and she will come back. I have a feeling this wedding will never happen but she will take his $$ and string him along for a bit. I just hope she is cautious, he is not mentally stable and that is a dangerous game to play. Unless she figures her ex the hitman will come to her aid if things get hairy? She should block his number, find a new place and never speak to him again. He doesn't respect boundaries and he is truly delusional thinking he has some amazing love story vs anyone else up on that stage.

I think when her problematic comments came out he defended her.  So he enmeshed himself.

My husband who also watches, asked me “where does this show get all these crazies”, lol.  I’m wondering myself.  Each one is unique in a weird sort of way.  Maybe dangerous too.

I was wondering about that . . . the cast must watch the shows back, so why was Kim surprised when she found out that Usman called Zara? Very satisfying for me then that she truly didn't know, what with the possibility of the cast not seeing the last show. I only wish they had played more of it for Kim - for example, the knowledge of him calling Zara while she most likely was still at the airport, etc. Guess she knows now, as of last night. 

My strong suspicion is that the editing monkeys cut that part out of Kimbelly's copy so they could spring it on her at the tell all.  Easy enough to do and they could get her reaction live at the tell all, too.  

Anyone else recall that the foreign participants are not paid directly, but rather the American participant is paid and then in turns pay their foreign partner?  

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn Mike threatened to hold Ximena's payout until after the Tell All, hoping she would sing his praises and he could weasel his way back into her life.  

Judging from the previews for next week, *if* that's what he did, that didn't work either.  

Ximena and Rose will go down in the history of this show for accepting abject poverty is preferable to those bottom feeders Mike and Ed.  

And honestly, how the fuck dare Mike try to shame her with the cameras rolling about her adult webcam shenanigans.  Seriously, how fucking dare he when that's how he met her and became so smitten obsessed that he just had to "buy" her to take her off the market.  

I was so glad Ximena enlightened us with how he was on there EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.  

What a nasty piece of work Mike is.  

Ben and Mahogany and the "God bless you!" might be one of my favorite lines from this franchise.  I'm sure in her wildest dreams Mahogany never imagined she'd be running through the streets of town trying to escape from the rantings of a middle-aged lunatic with a camera crew in tow.  And it's given birth to some hilarious memes, like this one:

Uglier than Darcey? This I have to see, I need a good laugh.

I have to respectfully about Jasmine being the queen of that.

Darcey is on a whole other level than anyone else in the world or universe when it comes to ugly crying, and sadly because of all of the horrible plastic surgeries that she's subjected herself to, I now find her to be always ugly, not just when she's crying (she was at one time, in a land far away and a time long ago, a very cute girl). 🤣

Ximena's going to pimp Mike's bank account for as long as she can. She's a tough girl and probably thinks she can handle him if shit gets crazy (or else she knows people who can). Mike had the benefit of being in Colombia with camera crew, producers and (likely) security in tow. It will be an entirely different ballgame if he goes down there on his own and acts a fool.

These were my exact thoughts. Thank you! Mike, acting like he's all that in his "secure" relationship with X, with him giggling and laughing at Gino. Like he's in a different place than Gino. Not all all, bud.

I was surprised that X and Mike were back together, but didn't understand why X looked so incredibly angry on the show. And yes, it was pure disappointment for me that X somehow went back to that blurb. BUT. In the preview for next week she walks out on him, and my heart burst with happiness. I suspect that Mike wouldn't let her go, stalking via text, harassing, making deals like suggesting the two homes, anything this sad sack could come up with and he just wouldn't let it be and accept the finality of their "togetherness" being over. So the final straw: X pretending she is back with Mike temporarily, then BAM - announcing once and for all to deer-caught-in-the-headlights Mike, that's IT'S OVER. That would definitely make an impact in cutting all ties and humiliating him enough for him to finally move on. One might think, anyway.

 

Maybe Mike just needs some Prozac, a good soak in the bathtub with a bit of Clorox and Mouthwash.  Oh, and shave that hairy back of his.  🤮

Ella and Johny: ★★☆☆☆

This is going to be a real 🌶️ 🔥 hot 🔥 🌶️ air balloon take. Cheating is cheating, and Ella cheated. No question. However, on the Cheating Gravity Scale™, her transgressions are imponderous. Why, you ask? There's a whole bulky planet between them, and there is no way he will ever unburden his load in her heft. They are just two mounds of meat separated by vast distances, SexTiming© while weighed down by moppy wigs, ample dollar store kimonos, and various Day-After-Halloween-Sale banal ballast. Nothing will ever come of it. Johny will never inherit that highly valuable, immense ranch.

We have seen episode upon episode of "are you coming?" "no I'm not coming" variations (keep your minds out of the sewer, please!), and Ella melting into tears like butter separating on a hot summer day.

The real story is her long-pile rug plumped up with copious dog piss stains and a generous helping of dessicated turds - the remnants of housefly all-you-can-suction buffets. That living, teeming carpet is worth a whole red giant star in the rating.

So I say, let's borrow a big skein from grandpa Berkowitz' large collection, and raise an overflowing stout 🍺 of Ella tears to this colossal waste of time!

Note: all puns intented. Count them!

Hagberly and Use-man: ★★☆☆☆

This transaction between a Nigerian gigolo specializing in services to the American elderly and his client (affectionately known as his prospective girlfriend) has led to vocal dissatisfaction (evidenced by Hagberly's loud complaints, and deeply felt by anyone hearing him 'sing') and deserves a poor BBB rating. From the onset, the "relationship" and its vague, feigned promise of the weighing and considering of plural marriage was never more than a marketing ploy, in the tradition of "Wesley" aka "Jesse."

In a way, this is a repeat of Big Girl Lisa, only Use-man has wisened up and streamlined his product. No actual nuptials this time! Payment is upfront in the form of bespoke baubles, hard to find video game consoles and consumer electronics. Is Hagberly nervy? Is she demanding? Is she vociferous? Is she entitled? Yes! Wouldn't you be if your hairdresser refused to pick up the scissors, your dentist denied you checking your teeth, or your rapper gigolo needed to be begged to squirt the mayo? Having said that, no matter the circumstances, boundaries and consent continue to apply, Hagberly!

If everything goes as planned for Use-man, his DMs will be flooded with more hags desperate to send him their welfare and pensions for a bit of attention and fantasy. If it panned out for that horse-faced gorgon Hagberly, surely it will pan out for them too. Mohamed made a fortune that way from crones who thought they were better than Danielle and were more than willing to throw coin his way.

Zanzibar was boring. The Tourism Bureau really dropped the ball, which is one more ball dropped than Use-man.

Klanlina and Kay-leb: ★★★★☆

Sure the racist elf got cancelled but it was amusing for all the wrong reasons. I'm not going toe spell it out for you all. But we're all trotting off to heel hell in Satan's little hoof steps.

Mamm'phis? Nagphis? and Quickza: ★★★☆☆

There was a lot to enjoy! Gentle, kindly Hayet and her love of cats and her children, beautiful and wise Rawia, Mamm'phis feeling like she found family. There is a chance that language was an issue, but Mamm'phis looked so alone and disconnected at the center of her own wedding ceremony. That poor girl is broken - it's easy to see why when we see her idiot mother and hear her idiot advice.

Marrying someone within weeks of meeting them will always be foolish, but it can work, look at Avery and Omar. But asking your fiancé to promise to sign a document that doesn't even exist, is an exercise in futility. Hamza is right, our girl Mamm'phis is always looking for problems, and creating them by becoming pregnant so fast. He's barely out of his mother's house and being thrown into married life with two older kids he hasn't met, a newborn, and a painful lack of ability to express himself in English. Plus, he has to learn to postpone ejaculation ASAP in order to avoid further public humiliation.

The Unhappily Ever After is going to be lit. 🔥🔥🔥

That Snotty Incel MAGA Mike and Thugmena: ★★★★★

Do we love the shows' editors or what? They sure took us for a ride, first making MAGA Mike appear like a pitiable, harmless simp being taken to the cleaners by a streetwise, predatory woman who lied to him about her ability to have children. He is welcomed with open arms by the whole family, meets the adorable kids, burps, farts, leaves covid-suspect tissues in people's cars. He proposes and Thugmena accepts, probably at her family's urging.

A happy ending!

But no... the impersonation of dry heaves needs to go back to Colombia to deny the breast implants in person, with feces stuck to his shoes for emphasis. The love story falls off a cliff as we discover than he is a controlling Nice Guy. It turns out, he sought out an economically desperate sex worker from a "race" he considers inferior to better lord it over her, demean her, and trap her with a few rolls of dimes - all the while professing his "love" and that she needs to come back to her sense and recognize that his sorry ass is the "best thing that ever happened to her." Some guy actually told me that once, his voice growing fainter as I watched him in my rear view mirror. I can't even recall his accursed name.

Go punch the walls in grandpa's attic where you live with bats that have more attractive faces than you, MAGA Mike! Seriously, you haven't lived if you haven't googled "bat face." it's pretty amazing.

Jealousmine and Stingino: ★★★★★

Arrright people, wake up! This is not the romance of the century where a gorgeous, witty (if volatile) bombshell is flooding her panties at the sight of a man so ugly, that ugly is attractive. Jealousmine cares not for this easily-manipulated, porn-addicted, miserly, nasal-voiced, fool. You all saw how drab and witless he is, his toes constantly curling and unfurling in the macerated sandals, his uninterrupted flow of easy yet transparent lies, and deer-in-headlights reaction to just about everything.

For your edification: porn-addicted men are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction and are less likely to be satisfied with sexual intercourse. They take longer to achieve orgasm, and need to indulge in increasingly extreme content to produce arousal. That's who goes for Sugar Babies. Impotent men who want the close company of living blow up dolls without the pressure of performance because they would fail. Thank you, Learning Channel.

Jealousmine is also a liar. She claimed to hate liars, but there she was, trying to administer a huge suppository to the fan base: a friend signed her up for a sugar baby site and she had no idea it was a sugar baby site. Girl, please! Call Ben if you want designer benzo hobo wine at the romantic Red Roof Inn - you two brazen liars belong together.

Are you fooled by her practiced tears and her hollow, over-enthusiastic, and very public declarations of love? I am unmoved. More than an elaborate lie, it's a complete farce, a Broadway musical, and a howling hoot. There is no exaggeration too outlandish. I am a vegan but I need your meat! You are so good in bed, Stingino! Drain those balls! She's not subtle but I guess she needs to lay it on thick to get through to that smut video enthusiast. She knows what she's doing.

Ben-zo and Filterogany: ★★★★★

Oh boy this is my favorite story. It's got everything.

• Suspicions of catfishing
• A silly 22-yr old overusing filters to devoutly flirt with international suitors for fun and profit
• Said 22-yr old makes the classic mistake of thinking that religious guys are safer and less crazy than the religiously indifferent or atheists
• Creepy old, washed out youth pastor
• Huuuuuge clucking liar, absolutely brazen, I bet some morons believe him every once in a while
• One half-dead googley eye set in a face like a chunk of tree bark
• Religious abuse and manipulation of much younger, impressionable and too-trusting religious people
• His ex-wife and children are rightfully disgusted by him, he makes their skin crawl and they're not hiding it
• Substance abuse
• Patronizing restaurants by piously ordering only water
• Holier-than-thou "helping homeless people at a Red Roof Inn" two days' drive from home, probably to get high meeting some weirdo god-fearing prostitute
• Relentlessly domineering, angry, and dangerous
• God justifies his every degenerate, perverted impulse
• Victim was filmed at secure locations, had her own hotel room, and parents were never too far.
• Ten page rants
• His texts to Filterogany show that he was hoping she would knock on his door for sex
• Victim had to run under the producers' aprons to escape Benzo Ben, and they failed her by not protecting her more pro-actively - though Ben forcefully demanding to lecture her with "His Truth" was TV gold.
• In Benzo Ben's mental schema, Filterogany has zero agency. God has decided that he will have her, she has no choice, all Ben has to do is to persist until God's will materializes and she submits to him
• "I must pursue it to the bitter, bitter end."
• Glorious rejection of Ben as a suitor.
• Proudly admits to being a sexual predator

I usually skim super-long posts, but I read every word of this with actual glee.

Dear Jazmine:

We are in receipt of your audition tape for the new TLC series "The Tell All Novella." Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer you a role based on the following criteria:

Your acting was not convincing when you read your lines, especially

"Gino is a very attractive man" and "His un-sexiness is what makes him sexy." 

Your attempts at portraying insanity were too overly dramatic to be believed. 

We suggest you keep your day job.

This is just UNbelievable!  I watched a few episodes when it was Darcey only.  Didn't watch any of the twins' show...until I saw them going to get cosmetic surgery.  I don't know what happened, but they somehow came out shorter/squatter than before.  Their BRIGHT WHITE teeth are abominations.  I thought nothing could be worse until I also saw what KristenIII did.   Did they inherit a bronzer company?  Did they have failed laser surgery on their EYES and now they're legally blind?  "FUGLY" isn't nearly bad enough.

Ben and Mahogany's "God bless you!" moment had me shrieking with laughter. She's running hell for leather, leaping into a car, and Ben's galumphing behind her all "why's she saying God bless you, I didn't sneeze!" before he tries for the eleventy billionth time to tell her "my truth". Pathetic AND creepy. I will enjoy watching him squirm on the next episode. Make it so, reality TV gods.

Ben is psychotic. He's rambling on to the camera about how Mahogany HAS to listen to what he has to say. Um. Nope. She does NOT have to listen to you at all. See, Ben, it's not all about you. You don't have any power to "make" people listen to your truth (gag me, I hate that phrase SO much, especially from the mouth of a narcissistic, driving impaired bible beater).

I don't care if the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit float down on a cloud to Peru, and pop into an Uber with Mahogony. She doesn't have to hear Ben's crazed truth at all.

THIS! WTF is it with some men (Ben & Mike looking at you) that they truly feel women are OBLIGATED to listen to them, to explain their motivations and feelings...especially with Ben and Mahogs----dude, you were NOT in a relationship with this woman! You were chat buddies for a few months. Now, she did wrong by asking him for $$ and saying the shit about giving him many babies. It is possible if she is a devout SDA that she thought maybe one day they would meet etc...she did NOT expect this loon to hop a flight after she told him NO, then track her down in her hometown after she stood him up at the airport, then again beg to meet after she abandoned him at the resort. JFC man, get a clue! But no, men like Ben think "just because" she needs to sit there and listen to him. He is lucky she showed at all and I am sure it was solely for the TLC paycheck. 

I am sure Mike begged and pleaded as you said and she finally gave in....but clearly in X's mind, they are not a couple, there is no future.....

It is possible if she is a devout SDA that she thought maybe one day they would meet etc...she did NOT expect this loon to hop a flight after she told him NO, then track her down in her hometown after she stood him up at the airport, then again beg to meet after she abandoned him at the resort. JFC man, get a clue! But no, men like Ben think "just because" she needs to sit there and listen to him. He is lucky she showed at all and I am sure it was solely for the TLC paycheck. 

It's pure entitlement.  Ben and Incel Mike think they're entitled to anything they want from these women.  Ben is using God and Mike is using money.  It's so bizarre that Mike is constantly complaining that Ximena is using him for money and then turns around and tries to buy her affection every time she attempts to dump him.  They're both so disgusting.

You don't have any power to "make" people listen to your truth (gag me, I hate that phrase SO much,

WHY and when did we become inundated with "my truth," and "truth to power"?  World leaders, CEOs, and reality TV "loons" are blasting us with the phrases.  GAG ME TOO!

And THIS is with witnesses, and audio/video proof traveling 'round the world. What happens when there's no one else around?  Isn't there some sort of GPS implant that will warn others when they are within 100ft of any woman?

I think Ben has mistaken Benjamin Franklin's sayings with Biblical teachings.  He seems to be acting upon 'God helps those who help themselves' which is from Franklin and not the Bible.  He also thinks he has insights that others don't have.  Whenever someone says to me "it's my truth" I respond with "just because you think it's true doesn't mean it is" (yes, primarily said to students who only want opinion to matter not evidence...).  Ben may think that if he says it enough and long enough (i.e. the 3 hour drive he was hoping for) he can wear people down and they will start agreeing with him.  Everything he does is a manipulation-from his 'sincerity' in his interviews (trying to manipulate the viewing audience of which he seems very aware) to his 'concern' towards Mahogony.  Ben is also using 'religion' to mask his manipulations which is brazen in its deception.

Ximena has said that Mike has gotten physical with her and I 100% believe it.  When she was yelling at him to get out and he was refusing, if the cameras hadn't been there I think he would have hit her. The look on his face was scary.

I read on one of the FB Savage pages that Ximena stated Mike had actually punched a wall when that debacle was going down, and she was reportedly quite surprised TLC/Sharp didn't air it.  So, if that tidbit is indeed true, Mike definitely has a physically violent streak.  I hope the rumors that he's been recruited for The Single Life aren't true, because this piece of shit doesn't deserve any more public attention.  He needs to crawl back into the sewer from which he emerged.

Franklin patronized brothels so I could see why Ben feels a kinship.

When Mike was packing for the second trip in that attic room it looked like there was a hole in the wall.  Things that make you go hmmm.

I hope his ex-wife and children finally realized that how LUCKY they are that he dumped them.  They have been beaten down and manipulated for years by this PASTOR's tactics.

And THIS is why he seeks out organizations/groups/websites where he will be dealing with mostly women.  He is so unsure of his own masculinity that he doesn't dare try his crap with men.  He is a coward.

Personally, I think the Tell All would at least be interesting if Caleb had been invited to participate. I'd like to hear the rest of his story.
