S09.E18: Tell All Part 1

[Eme]

Bini has always been a punk about not sticking up for Ari.  He talked smack about her to the Coven he calls sisters and sat back while they verbally and physically attacked her.  He was pretty confrontational when he whined to the  Coven about Ari.  He was confrontational when he insisted the Coven go to the airport to see them off.   Just shocked he didn’t insist Ari  apologize they them-he probably figured that wasn’t happening.
He also had the nerve to come out and say that once he got the Green Card they could separate-he said it in his solo interview and then again straight out to her parents over dinner.  They looked shocked but also looked like they put it down to his limited English abilities.  Nope.  He was honest about it.  The Jerk.  
 

Mo wanted an older lady who would cater to him like his Mom would. Extra points that she looks good in a bikini.  He’s playing the long game. Hopefully Yve will enjoy herself in the meantime. 

Nothing wrong with Thaís expecting to live alone with her husband.  Laughed when John was called out as a Third Wheel.  There’s a huge difference between living with your parents and third wheeling with newlyweds. John needs to step back and get his own place.  He can visit his brother and should understand that they need their own space.  These dudes are intentionally clueless.

Redeemed for now:

Kobe & Guillermo. Both still have questionable taste in women.  I didn't want to see Kobe's undies. Kobe def got the concrete testing job from his new father- in- law's connections in civil engineering.  But hey it is what it is & as long as he's an honest hard- working man,  it's looking good 👍🏻 . 

Guillermo is cute & somehow yes,  I do believe  he's comfortable with himself & how much of a man he is.

The rest are exactly the immature buffoons they seemed to be all season.  & Shaeda, blink twice if you're in this marriage against your will. Holy smokes!

[Frozendiva]

Kobe seems like a decent guy. He and his father in law may develop a close friendship. He will take what he can get for now, maybe take online classes and go into another field. Or make some connections.

Kobe already got a job and was working, including all the overtime that he wanted, in a lab alone (conditions approved by Emily).  

Yet, the big announcement was that Bini got his work authorization.  Bini then declared that he'll work on his MMA career and be a father.  Nobody else addressed their job search or employment.  

Kobe's accomplishment went without fanfare, even though he's the only one who seemed to find a job - in Salinas, KS, nonetheless.

I forgot about that---yep, Bini is here for the green card, and once the conditions on that are removed (2 years I believe), he is OUT of there....not that I blame him. Ari is an insecure, whiny shrew. Not that he is a prize, a lot of her behavior captured on camera I have zero doubt he provoked by doing stupid shit off camera that we missed out on. Her mistake was trying to make a one night stand more than that---one night. I think that applies to a lot of the couples we see on here where the woman is the American who gets knocked up. And all because of the baby. I get it, I do, you want your kid to have a chance to have his father in his life. And I am sure she thought Bini seemed like a fun, nice guy and surely he sold her a big sob story about how his first American wife stole his child from him. But, wake up honey! He has shown over and over and over how he has zero real ambition to provide for his family and he does not love you (if he did he would have her back).

I am just so sorry, but in no way can Jibri, EVER, in his wildest imagination, be compared to the fabulous Robert Redford!  Jibri can wear all of the cowboy hats in every style and color imaginable, he can bedazzle all of his outfits to his heart's content, he can graffiti up his overcoats and boots, but he can NEVER EVER be compared to Robert Redford. 

Ohhhhhh, you meant his outfit was comparable....(small voice) nevermind...

Or according to Kobe “knocked” or “knocked off.”

[The Pearl]

Did anyone else notice Bini subtly giving JibJab the FINGER????  Jibby was going on and on and Bini had his hand up to his face with his middle finger prominantly displayed (and his index finger bent to tone it down slightly).  LOL

[The Pearl]

I did not like the ex-wife dogging Shaeeda about her assets or lack thereof.  None of her business.  And when Patrick KEPT calling Bile's salesmanship 101 shit out!  I was delighted.

[rr2911]

First of all, I think every U.S. couple here is at fault for the troubles in their relationships.  It was their decision to look overseas for love.  It's silly that they all expect their foreign partners to know and follow the American way as soon as they step foot on American soil.  From what I've read in this forum, everyone seems to be going one direction and me the other, especially about John.

Kara/Guillermo - The only thing I got form them is that I don't think a pregnancy is going to prevent Kara from wanting to party.  Guillermo seems like a level headed guy, but Kara is too "loose" for their marriage. 

Emily/Kobe - Emily is just not a nice person.  Kobe could've done much better here.  He seems like a guy who really wants this to work.  Unfortunately, Emily just wants to stay home and expect expensive things from Kobe.  One other note...I would date her mom in a heart beat!  Her mom is a very attractive woman.  😍

Yve/Mohammad - I don't think this marriage is going to last.  These are two very different people with way different religious beliefs.  She is a 46 year old free going woman and he is an Egyptian man who is more structured.  She wants him to see the Americn way and I believe he is trying, but in the end the differences in culture is going to be their undoing.  Yve's "squad" friends aren't helping either.  She never seemed to have his back when they were drilling him with their personal questioning, which was none of their business.  

Patrick/Thaeis - Hopefully with a baby in the mix now, their relationaship could start to grow.  During the 90 Day season, I thought it would be wise for Thais to go back home, especially with John lurking around.  What is it with John having to live with them?  For a second I thought he might have a medical issue that needed for someone to take care of him.  You know, maybe he didn't have all his marbles upstairs!  Anyway, I'm hoping Patrick and Thais's move to Las Vegas doesn't include that irresponsible third wheel trouble maker.  One other note.....Thais looked beautiful as always and loved, loved her expressions!!  😍

Bilal/Shaeeda - Shaeeda should run or fly back home and never look back!  Bilal is a smooth talker who will twists words around.  She made a big mistake by not writing an ultimatum in the prenup.  Another mistake she made was not telling the ex-wife that Bilal's and her prenup was not any of her business.  I don't see this marriage lasting either.

Jabri/Miona - I never liked Jabri but I was surprised that he acted like an ass.  Even though it was about time someone points out Ari's jealous ways, I was taken back by Jabri's attitude.  It was disappointing that Bini didn't react one way or the other.  Now, when it comes to Jabri and John, I hope Jabri gets some good shots, maybe head shots on John.  Even though I think John could probably take on Jabri with no problem, it would be nice to see John with some blood.  Like that quote from the movie Predator, "If it breaths, it bleeds".  John had the gull to question Jabri living with his parents when John is probably going to be the main reason behind Patrick's and Thais's breakup!

Ari/Bini - Like I said earlier, disappointing to see no reaction from Bini when Jabri started to mouth at Ari.  I just don't see how this marriage can work.  Ari is extremely jealous and suffers from low self esteem.  I thought the time Bini was sparring with a female fighter and Ari made a scene was uncalled for on Ari's part.  I hope the host of the show questions Ari about her ex husband.  Her ex has no business taking part in family events or anything to do with Bini and Ari.  Maybe Jabri will question Ari about her ex.  I will be on Jabei's side on that one.

Tim and Kenny were absolutely useless!!!  Let me repeat that again, Tim and Kenny were absolutely useless!  A waste of time!  They didn't bring anything new to the show.

What's with friends being more important than the fiances.  Yve choosing her friends over Mohammad and not having his back isn't the right way to start a relationship much less a marriage.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but Kara's ex saying how much sex they had and adding sound effects showed how much self restraint the young Guillermo has, the guy was basically saying that he had fucked her a lot & was trying to rub it in his face. If I had been Guillermo there probably would have been some sort of security intervention. Either he is as cool as a cucumber or didn't understand that Kara's prick of an ex was on a wind up.

Maybe he's just more mature than Kara?  I don't know if I'd be too fazed by having one of my wife's high school boyfriends bragging about their sex life, 30 years ago..

[Kath94]

What was the big deal with Biniyam getting his green card?  He's "going to work on" his MMA career now.  And that's different from what he did BEFORE he got his green card HOW?  Now, if he got a REAL job to bring in some money WHILE training, that would be an accomplishment!

The point being they are still youngish and it's not 30 years ago, they were also very friendly when he first met  G.  None of my wives ex husbands has ever been such a childish ass as he was being.

You've been married longer than any of them have been alive & all power to you.

Can't find if this was mentioned or not, but....

When it was brought up that Kobe gets a ton of DM's from females, Emily said that she & Kobe *bleep* (it was bleeped out) a ton, so they better back off.

Later in the episode, Kobe said they haven't had sex in a very long time.

So, Ems, which is it?

Glassdoor gives an average salary of $44,000 per year, if they are still living in her parents basement then it's good money but if they had to pay rent it really is not much and Emily is a stay at home mom like she always wanted means she has no desire to get a job for a very long time.  I guess Father Emily will be hosting them for years to come.

Not a bit. And, she was wife #2, which has yet to be revealed on TLC, so, I assume Bile had SOMETHING when she married him. Apparently they did not have a prenup and she took him to the cleaners, or at least that is how I would interpret his extreme focus on the need for the prenup this time around. So what did wife #2 bring to the table for her to look down on Shaeeda??

We are hoping next week that John shuts Jibri up.

Tim was on a previous season about a disastrous relationship with a Colombian girl. Despite being very effeminate, he has always claimed to be straight and talks about various girlfriends but I’ve always felt he “protests too much.”

I think the "Pillow Talk" episodes with Veronica have proven that he's straight.  He's just a weird-looking human with effeminate qualities.  He knows he's not "manly," and even jokes about it.  If he didn't have the current girlfriend he occasionally mentions, Veronica would  pick on him about that.

I doubt such a clause would be enforceable. Bilal could bareback Shaeeda every night for the next couple of years and it's still possible she wouldn't get pregnant: his swimmers might be faulty, she might have a hostile womb, his DNA might not be a good match for hers, etc.
