There it is , Rob now thinks Sophie is sleeping with all her friends because is Bi

Wel, if that were the case, then he wouldn’t have to take any blame for being a douchebag.

I think she’s lying about her age but I also wonder if she had her tubes tied a few years ago and hasn’t told Gino.

Too bad she won't have another kid. I was looking forward to them fighting about getting a DNA test to confirm the kid was Gino's.

With this couple, they'd  fight over whether it was hers.

I hope Liz’s daughter is taking notes: How Not to Allow an Asshole to Treat You

Her daughter looks just like her. Hope she doesn't take after her in terms of men.

Alexi is the kindest husband!

Paper plate a la 600 lb life. Loren and Alexi have their own show…I don’t need to see them thanks

Why does this require an app??

I simply do not understand why they don't hire some help. A visiting nurse or health aide to help with Loren, or a sitter to help out with the kids? They can afford it. 

Oh, look! Its Alexei being adorably incompetent doing household chores! Where's his beret?

They serve all the poor residents in this nursing home low quality food on paper plates with plastic utensils.

[Pepper Mostly]

Do I see white furniture in a house with three small kids? Wow. That's brave.

You know what they say about sex and fighting...

This Cameroon wedding stuff is going on forever. 

[sainte-chapelle]

Alexi, women balance full time jobs and a household all the time. I hope this makes you appreciate Loren even more

Ed is so verklempt. The first thing that pops into his head is who will clean the house now?

Liz has to tell him when the trash day is???

Dragged out endlessly by Emily's insufferable mother. 

Emily's dad is solid, though. He's really making an effort and my hat is off to him. 

[Polliwollidoodle]

I think if Loren was home with a home aide she'd still be bombarded with the kids. I understood it will only be a few days in the hotel and then she will come home? I think Alexi is close to perfect. He first said he never did laundry but then he corrected to say never did with those machines. Redeemed.

I am so impressed how he goes between English and Russian ( Ukrainian?) and Hebrew. His English is so good.

Right? I almost fell over. Let the trash pile up, Liz! The cleaning lady can find out when trash day is! 

[judylo]

Property. Ugh. I like Kobe but I do not like his traditions. Sorry.

[Auntie Anxiety]

This is too stupid for words. They’re married, they have a couple of kids and now they decide to air their grievances? Stop already.

[CrazyInAlabama]

What's odd about Kobe's family saying she belongs to them, that's saying they're now related to her, and she's part of the family.     I don't think Kobe's family intends to lock her up to do housework.

Ok I did like that jacket though.

They should have skipped the whole “traditional “ wedding.

But if she's home with Alexei she'll be bombarded with the kids too. Hire a sitter and have the kids come in for visits or to read stories or whatever. There is no reason for Alexei to bear the burden of taking care of the house, kids, and his recuperating wife single handed!

It is at the behest of the producer.

I read that women in the US we’re not allowed a credit card in their name, or a bank account in their name alone until sometime in the 60´s ..I think an official act passed in 1974 which is wild.

Being part of the family is not the same as being the "property" of the family.

Except they needed a storyline for this season. 

I'm just laughing at the whole "traditional" thing. Kobe's family are playing their parts for all they're worth, and I'm sure they're laughing and laughing about it. 

Production: OK, now lay it on thick with the "traditional Cameroonian" stuff. it'll play great in Peoria!"

I agree it’s all BS…Kobe is a modern man and that would be unusual if his family were strictly traditional

Michael made sure to sabotage the interview.

No doubt. Still grates on me. I am so sick of patriarchy anywhere!

[Shelbie]

It is not textes . It is texts you horrible woman.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Michael is so beaten down. He tells the cab driver to keep driving, don’t stop.

[Pepper Mostly]

Angela. I can think of somewhere you can go. In a hand basket.

If you really are sexy, do you need to wear an outsized necklace proclaiming that you are seksi?

I thought it was "sensei", another thing that she isn't.

Is it martial or marital.

The producers think it makes riveting tv.

It's in the script.

If only Rob had had a toilet! It was doomed from the start.

Sophie, go back to your posh existence in Leeds.

The old take off the microphone and "I don't want to do this anymore" scene.
