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

Dead ☠️

Oh I forgot about Patrick and his bulging muscles.

[sainte-chapelle]

Those kids are adorable 

[Auntie Anxiety]

Oh, did anyone miss Assley this week?

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

Welcome back, old friend.

[Gobi]

Seeing these couples again reminded me of why I'm not watching this season.

Got MILF?

Night all.

They really are. And the middle one is clearly a sensitive little soul. he was tearing up over "Mommy's boo boo". Sweet little guy.

Ange looks like that cartoon blueberry thing with legs

[Auntie Anxiety]

Back tomorrow for even more 90 day punishment. Be there or be square. Toodles.

[sainte-chapelle]

Good night all. Blonde MILF lady looks like she was rode hard and put away wet

Good night, friends! See you gluttons for punishment tomorrow night. Stay out of the sex shop, it will only lead to tears. Thanks for all the laughs, I love you all, smooches! 

[judylo]

Forgive me but I am kinda watching the MILFs.

[Zombness]

Good night everyone!!!!

[renatae]

I'm a little behind here, as always!

It looks like Michael self-sabotaged on purpose. He actually thought showing a text with them fighting over cheating would help him get the visa??

You are stuck in a place with crappy food and even crappier roommates. You deserve to watch anything that gives you a moment of pleasure.
I hope you enjoy every episode.

Ed looks as horrible in a tank top as Garrick from Seeking Sister Wives.

Worn inside out with the bloody tags dangling out the back.  The man has an ongoing problem with this because it wasn't the first time.  Perhaps that is why we were blessed with that riveting scene of him wandering into the bedroom to pick up a random disheveled shirt on the bed that he then wrestled with for what felt like 3 minutes before finally giving up.  For context.  I could read the invisible thought bubble over his head:  the house cleaner can do it.

This franchise is officially dead in the water.

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

Emily's Mom:  I'm having trouble with the whole "property" issue.  Help me to see this in modern terms.

Kobe's Dad:  Very simple.  We give you bride price, we own her, she is now our property.  When she dies, we bury her here in Cameroon.

Kobe's Dad, you aren't helping!

But, we need a useless story line, so here we go.  Come to think of it, they are ALL useless story lines!

I am gobsmacked that Sophie and Rob infuriate me more than Grangela.  They just argue in circles and take me back to my high school dating relationships.

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

Yes, I would have just let him have the trash pile up until he is trashed to death!

[Shrek]

Exactly what I said. Why is she telling him about the garbage and why is she the one who knows this anyway? Fiona only knows what day is garbage day because all the trash bins in every room are empty, unless I forget one obviously.

[DanaMB]

Watching this season for the first time with this ep. My god this is boring. 

[AR Traveler]

If dressing up for adult things is your game, knock yourself out.  But games alone won't save a doomed relationship, as Sophie and Rob found out.  Rob went for "hot" without thought of character, intelligence, or compatibility.  Sophie is stuck in 11th grade drama.  Seriously, she seems emotionally arrested.

I don't understand Nicole and Mackmood at all.  They couldn't get along in Egypt because she couldn't adjust herself to that culture.  Now it's the other way, and Mackmood can't fit in to the U.S. culture (yet-once he gets away from Nicole, perhaps).  If neither can stand the other exactly as they are right now, no "changing", how are they even friends, much less married?  Mackmood just has to go home.

Why is Liz even crying one tear over that troll of a man?  I get breakups are hard, but Ed seems less like a relationship and more of a bad habit that's hard to break.  And Liz, getting your daughter into this mess is on you.  Were I a single mom with young-ish kids, it would be months before any involvement.  I wonder what it is that even tops Ed's worst?

Michael should have just bombed the interview on  purpose.  That's one mighty green card if he has to deal with that hag.

In my next life, I get to marry Alexei (or one like him).  And know that I love Mr. Traveler very much.

Yeah, at a horse vet. 

Makes a change from the coffee shop, or the paint aisle at Home Depot. 

I feel like Emily's mother doesn't understand a lot of things. She doesn't seem too bright. 

Those parents are a mess and in a mess. At this rate their daughter (the one who seems least bright to me, and the lisp doesn't help) and her (very nice) husband will be living in their basement forever. As in 24/7. And continuing to pop out kids. I don't see Emily ever going to work, and I don't know what Kobe's prospects are. Are they expecting to live off the TLC t** forever?

I think Lisa (E's mom) is taking out years of anger (as default cook, manager, babysitter, chauffeur, etc., in addition to work on the farm) on this trip. I can understand a first slip-up as far as having a baby, but to keep having kids you can't afford? Birth control!! Or tell them to move to Cameroon for the next 5 years. /h 

David and Lisa need a PLAN with them to move out, have their own place, and work toward entirely supporting  themselves. It won't be easy because E's parents have done everything for her. Her Dad will never retire at this rate. They may have to downsize and move to a senior community to get any privacy back. 

What do her siblings (she has 4 - ?) think about all this?!

Jasmine didn't spend that much time with her children when they were in the same country.

My husband says she’s 45.  Who paid for all her surgery?  Gino is a dope.  Speaking of, does TLC pay for Lauren’s makeover?

[Peppermint]

🎶 Alouette, gentille alouette, Alouette, je te plumerai...🎶

Continue til end, translate to English [ for those south of the Canadian ] and you will see poor Mackmoood, stripped featherless by a beret'd Nichole. He looks so lost and forlorn , even though he is not entirely blameless in their shit-show of a marriage.

Rob & Sophie...same ol', same ol'.

Jasmine & Gino...same ol', same ol'.

Liz & Pred...same ol', same ol'.

Emily & Kobe...new level of entitled stupid by Mother Emily.

Grangela & Mikuul...not even pretending we don't already know how this ends. FF.

Big biceps, tiny head. 

[EastCoast4Life]

Is it me or does Mahmood look completely emaciated? Has Nicole thought to buy the poor guy a sandwich since he arrived?!? He's cheeks are completely sunkin in!

I think she made him a frozen pizza his first night? And the donuts for breakfast! She decimated his digestive tract in less than 24hrs.

The two of them look like a pair of stick insects.

[Auntie Anxiety]

Catching the tail end of last week’s monstrosity. There’s got to be a more suitable name for this show.

Assley has pain in her ass past, everyone! That’s why she acts the way she does. Apparently, she has no agency over her actions.
