Now we’re six episodes into this season and there’s still one couple who hasn’t been shown! 

[CainF]

I'm getting the feeling that while the Justin-Nikki relationship is very fake, Nikki was thinking "well, he tapped this hot stuff 15 years ago, and it's only gotten better during that time, so he will definitely want to tap it again," and so her contribution to the faked storyline actually has a bit of sadness for her as she's realizing that it's just not about her sex appeal, at least not with this man in this country.  Part of me wants to applaud TLC's and the couple's efforts to enlighten the public about the challenges trans people go through every day of their lives, but all I'm getting from these two are fame whores and a cautionary tale, and it's becoming difficult to watch.

And to Gino's family - I have no doubt that Jasmine could be happy with Gino's as long as Jasmine herself is happy and that's gonna take money to begin with.  Gino would probably never find a woman as beautiful and devoted to him as Jasmine, so his family should just shut the fuck up.  Both Gino and Jasmine like shiny pretty things and so far they are that to the other.

Poor Devon.  I didn't see the ending of that dinner happening the way it did, but I was delighted for Devon and whatever his name is.  Americans in the cast could learn a lot from the Koreans (the Brit girl too) about how to navigate their relationships if they would stop sharing details of their relationships that bring out the worst in their partners.  Save that stuff for never, or at least for when you've been together and stable for years.

I know we saw a teaser for that in the beginning of this season, but scenes like this make me wonder if they're even a real couple.

I took my glasses off during the whole man in the boat conversation, and Nikki reminded me of Stella D'Ora's Lady Stella cookies with the frosted pink lips.

I wouldn't be at all upset if I found something like that in my fiancé's car, especially if, like Jasmine, I had just moved in with him and previously I'd only seen him when he visited me. 

I would have assumed it had been dropped by someone he'd given a ride to - a sister, sister-in-law, coworker, or friend - and it may have been in the car for years. 

I'd probably make a joke out of it: hold it up and say "Gino, did you lose something? I'm not giving it back, because this shade is all wrong for you!"

I don’t think you have to offer up that you have worked as a prostitute the first time you meet people.  Save something for New Year’s Eve.

Considering the condition of his townhome it wouldn’t surprise me if that lip gloss had been in his car for ten years.  And she knows he used to hire sugar babies so lord knows what shenanigans have gone on in that car.

It didn't take but a hot minute for Sophie to find a pretty upscale (albeit it looked like a place ppl rent to shoot porn) place to stay (she referred to it as "some house in LA").  I bet she doesn't have to go outside to get to the bathroom.  And, is she really "stranded" with no place to go?  What about going back where she came from (was it London?)?

Nikki seems hyper-sexualized, mentions that her hormone shot made her horny, etc.  She probably hangs out with people just like her so it's normal conversation.  She needs to read the room and tone the sex conversations down with "regular" folk. 

Jasmine is just beyond, always looking for the worst.  It's gotta be exhausting.

Either 53 is hitting me hard or times and people have really changed. There is no way in hell I would be comfortable asking a friend of my “boyfriends” if men there went down on women.

If 53 is hitting you hard, 60 must be knocking me into next week.  There's no way I would bring that up with someone I just met, in public.  Frankly, I cannot see a situation where that would be conversation at all.

I just love that the friend went “of course”- humans are humans and have been having sex in all the ways they can since the beginning of time. It’s not a cultural difference it’s that Igor’s feelings for Nikki have changed and she HAS to know that. She SAID things were different before she told him she was trans. 

[1011101010001]

If he’s not comfortable pleasuring her then he needs to break up with her.  He has known she is trans for 15 years and if he hasn’t accepted it by now he never will.  

I have heard these stereotypes before that men from certain cultures or ethnic groups will not perform oral on women but I think it’s just an excuse for selfish guys from those groups to use when they just don’t want to do it.

Yup I agree. 

[lilysmom]

Jasmine's lips remind me of when I was a kid and we would buy those fake lips for a penny that were bright red. She could have saved herself some money!

Like a baboon's ass, just like Moriah Plath.  Don't google if you haven't had lunch yet.

DJ Khaled famously said that he doesn't perform oral sex on his wife because there are "different rules for men" and since he supports her financially and is "the King," she should be thankful to give it rather than to receive it.  In the case of this pig, I think he's doing her a favour.

I'm still recovering from the trauma of seeing Gino's toilet and do not give two shits about Jasmine and the case of the mysterious(ly planted by production) lip gloss.

Well since most women don’t orgasm from intercourse I sure hope he is good with his hands.

Jasmine cannot do that!  She's a needy jealous person who has learned that MAKING A SCENE will always work in her favor.  She finally found a loser who will do anything to keep her.  He might get irritated occasionally, but he'll always go crawling back to her insecure screaming bitchfest self.  They'll both be miserable for as long as they can stay together.
