S04.E04: Three's A Crowd

[Pepper Mostly]

How old were you when you got divorced, Dannnnielle? 

"When the path's not clear, we consult the Magic 8 Ball"

[candall]

He looks so stupid that I want to screen shot the cowboy hat and black leather vest with the short-sleeve v-neck tee shirt . . .  but who would I show it to?

I'm so glad you all are here!

Oh, this sparkling conversation, I just wish I could be there with them! 

Right? Well that was awkward. 

giggle. sigh, side eye. silence.

[Adeejay]

Garrick is not into Lea, so, he is going to find any excuse to get rid of her.  I can't help but believe she is here just for them to have a storyline until Roberta decides what she really wants to do.

If she constantly gets cheated on, why doesn’t she spend some time getting her picker fixed instead of throwing in with this lot?

Those three women do not strike me as an easy-going, compatible group.  I can't see them all snuggled together in the big bed, like Nick's ladies.

[Pepper Mostly]

Lea must want her SAG card. Its the only thing I can think of. She seems like an otherwise sane and rational person. What on earth would she see in Garrick? He makes my skin crawl.

I just figured out who he looks like..a toddler who picked out his clothes without his mother's help..

[Maybeitsme]

What a dufus

But the contrast between the meeting with Lea and the meeting with Roberta is striking, like night and day. Garrick is not feeling Lea but is still crying over Bert

Right? Its probably all eye rolls, significant silences, heavy sighs, firm and meaningful door closing, veiled threats and passive aggressive backbiting at Casa Marcus. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Ariell is hoping that her time on this show will jump start her “modeling” career.

[Pepper Mostly]

Arielle does NOT want him to come. Anyone want to wager? Will she have Covid? Will a relative conveniently kick off? Will her job interfere?  Will she have to read a paper at an academic conference? Will she have to compete in the upcoming Olympics? Five bucks says this meeting does not happen.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Insipidian is all stressed out about being able to get an erection.

It's not much of a storyline to just have Garrick staring at his iPad and sniffling.

[Pepper Mostly]

"It makes it harder. And speaking of harder........Talking with Arielle is making me all tingly in my man bits. Wanna bang?"

Academic conference???  YOU are en fuego tonight!  That new response icon is yours.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Any bets on who says the word “communication” first?

[Pepper Mostly]

"Tonight we are going to gang up on April. Should be fun"

[Auntie Anxiety]

Brenda for the WIN (“communication”).

[candall]

I want that pink cocktail in the giant goldfish bowl.

[Pepper Mostly]

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Auntie, go to the cashier's window and collect your winnings!

[Auntie Anxiety]

Me too. I think they ordered margaritas. 🍹

[Pepper Mostly]

I think we ALL have a mighty need for a giant pink goldfish bowl cocktail after enduring this dreck.

Brenda, she goes to Steve for dick. What are you offering, exactly? 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Umm, April, how about you start off with a monogamous relationship before jumping into this pig pile.

[Pepper Mostly]

Brenda sadly stirs her drink and pouts. 

[candall]

That's Brenda sitting right next to her, right?

[Auntie Anxiety]

You read my mid.

[Pepper Mostly]

"The issue with Brenda" is that she is a bottomless pit of need. April needs to run. She has to be responsible for the feelings of two other people, read their minds and cater to TWO people's whims. 

[Auntie Anxiety]

What? It’s over already? How can that be?

Looks like Steve’s kids didn’t drink the Kool-Aid. Good for them.

Till next week, kids. Enjoy your week and stay out of trouble!

[candall]

I was going to tell Brenda that the writing is on the wall and she can go now.  But, wait--are those two delightful young people her children with gross boat guy?

Oops, all over.  So fast.  Good job, snark frens.

[Pepper Mostly]

Well, that was fun. I have to go take a shower now. These people are just revolting. 

I was dying laughing when Steve was talking to his kids "we're thinking of bringing someone else into the family". The kids are all "yay, we're going to get a dog, finally!" Hee.

Whose kids are they?  I think they might be the Original Recipe Wife's. 

Well, good night all. Thanks for staying up late and snarking. Stay safe and lets all hope for a saner, safer world.

Just started watching this episode and noticed something...is the production crew/editors trolling us by listing Taryn, Marcus, and India in that order so their initials spell TMI 😆

Lea is attractive and seems to be gainfully employed.  She has goals and ambitions.  Surely, she can find someone who doesn't have two other women.  It just doesn't add up.  I wonder what she hopes to get out of all of this.  

I think she’s a plant.  She has to be.  She’s too good for this sh**

[EtheltoTillie]

Insipidian is going to go to the Phillippines for a month leaving Tosha home to watch his kids with his first wife?  Huh?  What is with that first wife anyway?  She left this hot mess and left her kids behind. It seems she doesn’t see them.

I know!  She doesn’t seem insecure, needy or vapid, and she’s lovely, intelligent and financially independent.  Buuut, didn’t she make mention of growing up in a plural home a couple weeks ago?

Maybe he has spotted a few young, beefy country music star’s videos, and hodge-podged his own take on a look that his moist-face, simpering self can’t replicate.  Shivers of yuck.

It does seem very 90 Day-ish, no?

If I understand this correctly, she mentioned something tonight that she was in a previous plural relationship herself and had kids!  That certainly takes away from any idea that she is intelligent, independent or secure.  Anybody grasp the details?  There was nothing funnier than the three of them walking into the restaurant with Icky dwarfed by the other two women.  He also seemed to slink/slouch/crouch.  And when he was doing his talking heads, he wanted to sound authoritative in explaining the difficult dynamics of the plural relationship, but he just sounded dopey.

All of these men are pussies.   All of them.  They are dick-driven, which should cancel out being pussies, but what drives dicks anyway?  Gross Dreck does not deserve Lea--Lea, get your fine ass out of there, pronto--and Dddddaannnnniellle wants her around only to torment Robert.  Dddddannnnielllle needs to find Dreck a new, dumber honey, one who does not have career plans but who (to please me) is 5'11 and has enormous tits.  One who is desperate for a miniature cowboy with a horse face who just wants to get laid--as which one of these guys doesn't.

The Guy Who Bought a Boat is good for a laugh, and the one seeking a Filipina (Prince Torian?) has an interesting partner, Tosha, who seems real interested in getting someone to help carry the load.

Miniature cowboy with a horse face:  you win!

Arielle looks like a cam girl.  Like Ximena from 90 day fiance.  There's definitely crossover here in immigration concept. 

[Shelbie]

I find people who need to feel needed exhausting. They act as if their needs supersede what anyone else needs or wants. It takes a long time to fully trust someone and open up and Brenda is demanding that what she wants is the most important thing in the relationship. There is a huge need for volunteers at lots of places. Brenda should go feel needed somewhere else.

Yep.  That is different.  I thought her parents were polygamous.  I was cleaning the hell that is my pantry, so I missed a lot of visuals.  I would love to have seen the restaurant scene.  I wonder if he was given a coloring sheet with crayons so his mommies could talk amongst themselves.

[EtheltoTillie]

Furthermore, was there anything more awkward than Icky and Lea walking down the street holding hands?  Neither of them seemed into it.

[xwordfanatik]

What goes around, comes around, eh Brenda?  It seems you had no prob busting up Boat Boy's previous marriage.  Now the shoe's on the other foot.  They'll always be a younger, shinier new toy.  Sorry, not sorry.

Ick is ridiculous in that cowboy getup.  Lea just wants her face on TV.  She's not into Ick at all.

Marcus has a short man complex like Ick does.  He just wants a new warm place to put it.  

Sidian thinks he's God's gift to any available vagina.  His Filapina fantasy isn't going to pan out, somehow.  Will he moon over Arielle like Ick does with Bert?  "You is my king."  Gawd.

No Nick with his thinking cap this episode?  Ah, shucks!

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Insipidian has dreams of being a cult leader.  Unfortunately for him (not for humanity), he is too unappealing to pull it off.  He is lucky to have found one devoted follower in Tosha. 

[Madding crowd]

I loved Garrick saying he and Dani agreed on no more than five wives. As if he could find five women who want him. None of these guys have a personality. I don’t get what boat guy saw in Brenda to begin with but I don’t feel bad for her, she did the same thing with his first wife. Both Ick and Sidrian creep me out they are so unattractive in every way.

Hey, yeah--when are we going to learn what Nick has thought up?  When I'm not working, my thoughts run to I wonder if my husband found that last piece of pie I hid in the back of the refrigerator.  Sometimes I cogitate on whether I should bother folding clothes as I take them out of the dryer or just cram them into the basket and fold them as I put them away (ease vs aesthetics; always a philosophical nut to crack around here--I wonder if there are any cashews left?).

I think, as others have said, that she's seeing herself in April, and remembering that he was happy to let first wife go to keep the new one.

The thing that is so stupid about the show is that without the whole Mormon/religion/tradition/family upbringing there's no real reason for any of this, and in those traditional polygamous families it seems like the husband went out and took another wife or two when he pleased. That's why the Kermits and the other family who built the compound in the country seemed reasonably okay with it - it was what they were used to.  Now of course the fact that they were "dating" inappropriate people they met online was purely for the show.   But this "we" are dating a woman crap, or "Danielle fell asleep curled up in Lea's lap" - as Boat Boy's child and Marcus' #2's friend will tell us next week - this is not normal 😄

[suev3333]

Boy,  that Garrick's really got the gift of gab,  doesn't he though??  Zzzzzzz..... 😂🤣

That was the most awkward, painful meal I've ever witnessed.  I don't think the new girl (forgot name) with Gar and Dannielllle is gonna last long.   I don't feel chemistry between them.  At all.

Is it really a big surprise that Brenda and her new potential sister wife aren't hitting it off?   You can't force warmth and closeness with someone if it's not there.   All the husband is thinking is,  "please PLEASE get along with her!  This young thing is so good in bed"     it's so ridiculous.  

And the dude with the beard,       (again, forgot his name.   I'll have to write them down next time lol)   he's so goddam arrogant and egotistical it's like,  really??   It's such a turn off,  I don't see how these woman could be attracted to that....yuk.   

 Oh. and there's Garrick who looks like he's perpetually surprised,  raising his eyebrows.   He's got the personality of a door knob....

Anyway   I'm enjoying this show (train wreck) so much...  regardless of all the stupidity going on.   "but what if our Gods disagree?  Then what??"   😂
