Season 1 Discussion

[Adeejay]

"So, if I pay last month’s bill and this month’s, you will cut it back on?”  Evidently, the cable was turned off due to lack of payment.  Clearly, Danielle’s daughters love her unconditionally.  However, when they are adults, and like most kids who grew up in dysfunctional families, they are going to blame and resent her (not Mohamed) for all the crap they went through. Mark my words.

Why are the utilities in Mo's name?? Methinks that the utilities have been shut off so many times and Dani has a big arrearage so they would no longer put her on the account so they put them in Mo's name. She has probably put them in her kids name's also. Don't get me wrong, Mo is a douchebag of the highest order, but Dani and her crappy finances are now going to follow him around. 

Poor Noon, I hope she is happier in Portland.

noon looked so pretty on her wedding day--hopefully she lets her hair go back to normal. I really hope those 2 make it.

I cracked up when he was like "the lawyer says I should not go but I think I should do whatever I want." I literally cracked up laughing. What a tool. A Green Card is a priveledge not a RIGHT buddy, if INS does not shitcan his Green Card I will be really disappointed. 

Exactly, if there was ever a sham of a marriage this is it.  Did Mo and Dani even have sex while they were married?  It is a shame for all the real couples out there, that he wouldn't be deported especially with all the deception documented on TV!  The worst thing is that Danielle would even still take him back and even put up with girlfriends or anything else. She needs to get some self respect and turn this guy in and turn on all her utilities in HER name, and while she is at it, change her locks.  I blame her more than him.  Everyone could see he was always a user.  Did she really think he was coming out here for HER. 

[EverybodyIsACritic]

I really liked Russ and Pao in their original season, and I'm kind of sad to see where they are now. I remember how upset Pao was that Russ would have to be gone for quite a while for work soon after she arrived for her 90 days. I bet she'd be THRILLED to pack him a fuckin' lunch and send him off at this point.

I also had Loren pegged as having an autoimmune disorder. I also have one, and it's not something you can tell just by looking.  Her voice drills through my brain and annoys the shit out of me, though.

I live for Mo's bad decisions. I wonder if INS agents are chilling out at home, watching tv, then go to the office to get their arrests for the day and say, "NOT THIS TRICK AGAIN!!!"

[seacliffsal]

Dani's financial issues are her own.  She totally is blaming Mo, but her utilities were under threat of being turned off before Mo even got to the U.S.; and she is trying to make it look like it's all his doing.  "He got the cable turned off..."  no, the cable hasn't been paid.  I agree that the utilities are probably in his name because they would no longer allow Dani to have an account.  I also resent Dani's attitude of 'he was supposed to help support my family' um, no-you are responsible for support your family.  Dani's daughters are not Mo's daughters, and she wasn't able to support them before she married Mo.  I am not a fan of Mo's by any means, but Dani is great at trying to deflect all blame on Mo.  I did appreciate that they showed the clip of Mo asking her why she never let him know that her finances were so bad.  So, does anyone know how Dani was able to financially qualify to even bring Mo to the U.S.?

[Trampolina]

The conversation regarding the cable the 'the electric' cracked me up.  The first daughter said 'Mom, the cable ain't workin'" and then Dani called the cable company and said something like "I'm callin' to see why ma cable ain't workin'".  Then the two other daughters had a perfectly articulate conversation regarding Mo.  The first daughter really got the short end of the stick as she seems to be Dani's doppelganger.  I feel horrible for the three of them that they're all fully aware their mom would pick Mo over their happiness.  Also, when they show Dani and her flushed fleshy friend driving around looking for Mo I have to turn away.  Dani looks like a partially blind fat creepy beaver desperately looking for a log to chew.

I felt really bad for Loren even though I haven't been a fan in the past.  Tourette's must be so hard on a kid and even though she put herself out there on television, it can't be easy to have people make fun of something you have no control over.

I thought that was so freaking sweet that Noon's husband picked up and left his city to make his wife feel safe.  She obviously loved being able to talk to others from her country.  I just got back from Portland and I think they'll do great there.

Russ and Pao. First of all the house I think is rented out by TLC and not their real home. When they showed a shot of the house, it looked like one of those real estate lock boxes was on the front door.

OT we still have the lockbox on our garden hose pipe 8 years later because the original real estate agent never came back to get it...I just feel like I would need a machete first and foremost over bolt cutters in the event of a zombie apocalypse but I can't be bothered to get either at the hardware store.  There's always Amazon but it's a scary thought to wonder what will come up on a search, "people looking at machetes and bolt cutters were also interested in..."

Dani is pathetic, if Mo apologized and came home after blondie is done using him for camera time, she would take him back.  She all but said it when they were staring at the blank tv screen.  Lack of cable probably would not be at the top of my list of in describing how "Mo done me wrong."

[jumper sage]

Dani and Mo are scammers of different sorts.  She really tried to use him and he used her right back.  I kind of love it.

The girl who went to Morocco - How can she be that stupid?  How can she not know she can't dress like that or kiss/hug.  I watched the guys face when she said they had sex.  It was a look of horror.  He does not like her at all.

Russian chick is telling the American guy who she is and he is being completely stupid.

[moonbunnychan]

I guess being teased when she was younger is still affecting Loren, because pretty much any adult response to somebody telling you they have some ticks due to a disorder would simply be "oh, ok".  It's...not that big of a deal.  Not saying she doesn't suffer or her life isn't affected by it, but it's far from scandalous. It's certainly nothing I'd feel the need to keep hidden from family members.  NOT telling people leads to exactly the response she got.

I have nothing against people owning firearms, but if Noon really is jumpy enough that she goes for her gun if a car backfires, I seriously hope she doesn't accidentally hurt someone or herself.

[Christina]

Loren took much worse criticisms for her other behaviors than the ones about her ticks, that I don't remember ever noticing. She was overly dramatic, clingy to "Sexy Lexi," and after he discussed with her that he found strippers to be disrespectful and didn't want to her go to one, she agreed she wouldn't, went anyway, and when he called, she made her friend tell him where they were. Her friend proceeded to tell him to get over it, and suggested to the camera that if he didn't want her to go to a stripper, maybe she should reconsider who she was marrying. She was lambasted pretty hard for that, with people suggesting that she could have refused to go in since she told him she wouldn't, and she tried to pass the buck to her friend. She seemed to be auditioning for her own show.

Dani and Mo were reality television lightening in a bottle. It was obvious to everyone that he just wanted a Green Card, and she seemed to think that once he got here, he would have to stay with her and put up with her past lies, then work and take care of her and the kids. She didn't expect the Facebook responses of women flirting and sending him money, which allowed him to run off whenever he wanted. I don't feel sorry for either of them. If he was legit and learned her financial lies when he got here, and that he wouldn't be able to support her debt, and then he decided to divorce her, I probably wouldn't care that he got to stay because the fraud would be on her. He learned her debt and that she was losing her job before they married, but did it anyway because he's a scammer, Fortunately for me, he's an idiot who won't listen to his attorney, and hopefully that will cause deportation. 

[deltaburkefan]

I am very disappointed that we missed another chance to have Paul Dolce, Esq., the lawyer from the Lord of the Rings you never knew you wanted, grace our television screens. I did enjoy how Mohamed blatantly ignored the lawyer's advice. 

Loren's Tourette's... I think she is a very immature person. I do not not see why Tourette's is something you would hide. Certainly it is better than his mom thinking she has a cocaine problem, like many did here. Her problem is not that Alexei is Israeli. It's that she hasn't matured since middle school. 

[biakbiak]

As someone who never picked up on Loren's tourettes not judging her for going on tv, she thought it was under control. I half watch this show do we know when Alex told his mom?

@Trampolina I felt the same as you when I saw Dani squinting and peering around in the car, I was so viscerally grossed out I had to turn away too! The poor woman can't help her looks, but her general unpleasantness, her gaucheness, her fatuous smugness, her stupidity, her classlessness, everything adds up to such a yucky package, that her unfortunate looks are just the cherry on top. 

In a way Loren is pretty courageous, she's pleased with herself and her life, she doesn't hide away, she apparently had a high profile job in NYC and she put herself out there on reality TV. Still don't like her though. I find her spoiled and demanding, she sucks the air out of the room.

Kyle and Noon are adorable and he is a great husband. Who knew? We all thought he was a slacker and kind of a dude bro, but he's turned out to be kind and thoughtful. Love them.

[escapetoreality]

Well I was also disappointed with a new lawyer but I quickly looked him up and found that he is shady so that was satisfying.  

[vmcd88]

Why did Mohammed have to promise his Walmart buddy that his new relationship was purely platonic?  It was odd.  Does Loren have a job or is she now a professional bride?  Kyle and Noon...they actually love each other.  I could totally see him moving to Taiwan for her.

I don't have a problem with Alexei telling his mom about his wife's medical issue. That's his mom and I think it is natural and acceptable for a child to get counsel from their parents when they need it. 

Exactly! You know Loren tells her own parents anything she wants to. And it's not like this is some intimate sexual thing like HPV. A bunch of viewers here detected the tics.

Quote

NOT telling people leads to exactly the response she got.

This. Of course there are evil trolls on the internet, but you defuse this issue by being up front about it. She's acting like SHE is ashamed of it. If you treat it like some dreadful secret, that's how others will read it, too. This is a teenage way of dealing with a neurological condition.

This already happened! (minus the apology). Mo first hooked up with Blondie aka South Carolina mistress back in April 2015. He got busted for it on his second visit there....not by Dani, he got busted by NY mistress (aka Mistress #1). She was pissed but Dani was pleased: "he always comes back to me".....sporting a Herpes sore like a Scarlet Letter but still back, lol. Who could write this stuff as fiction? 

[Major Bigtime]

Mo saying he doesn't think immigration rules are fair and he should be able to do what he wants to do — on camera — proves he's an idiot.

[escapetoreality]

The latest attorney has an office in Sandusky (we saw the storefront) but when there were complaints to the Ohio bar by unhappy clients, it turned out that the Ohio bar had no jurisdiction over him as he was not a member of it.  He is supposedly a member of the federal bar in Ohio, but I would think clients would reasonably believe that a sole practitioner with a storefront practice in Ohio was admitted to practice in state court there and subject to the ethical regulations of that state's bar.  I don't think this would fly in Florida.

She said he told her on their wedding day.  So I can kinda see why that would upset her.  I'm not sure when she found out though. 

I can see why she's upset about it... unless his mom asked "why does Loren do all that weird stuff with her face?" There really is no reason to actually tell his mom.  I honestly never noticed her ticks.

Then I am fine with her being pissed. It wasn't when he just found out and researching. It was after he had processed and chose to move forward and knew it was a sensitive issue for her.

I'm also wondering how in the world Mo seemed to pick up a model-ish hot blonde??? Is Mo great at myspace angles or something?? Is this chick a secret psychopath?

Compared to what Mo has been hanging around with it.... she's a lot of steps up from Dani.  And they also flashed some photos that looked to be modeling photos so that's why I said model-ish.

Blonde mistress knows how to take a photo, but when they show her in person, her hair looks fried and she looks a fair bit older.

Any lawyer who agrees to be filmed and broadcast while advising a client is shady, no matter how many waivers of the right to confidentiality the client signs. IMO of course.

I only noticed that her mouth moves funny when she talks--not sure that is her tourretes or not. To me she is still a very annoying drama queen.

her eyelashes--I think she has eyelash extensions and they are very pretty, but not overly mascaraed which seems to be the current trend..

I am guessing based on the religious knick knacks in the scene behind Tom in last week's ep, and the crucifix on his rear view mirror and the sticker on the back window of his car that Wal Mart Tom is a very religious man and Mo had for once in his life interprets between the lines that he has some chaste rules and moral behavior expected of him by the Wal Mart Tom family. Plantonic my ass.

Pao and Russ -- I'm not familiar with them, but I like what I've seen of her. The NERF gun was suckish. It's from his childhood. That's such a tacky thing to do. Buy her a gift and make it something you want. I'm all for gag gifts, but he was serious with that. She seemed annoyed and rightfully so. I definitely would say move out of OK. How about some part of Texas or work offshore? 

I thought he was working off-shore prior?  I know he was in other countries as well - that's how he met her.  The way he dissed his employer on TV frequently did not have me surprised that he's out of work.  I'm on the fence about her.  I remember her on the last follow-up show leaving him for 3 or 5 months to go back to Brazil for her "shoe business".  I'm not sure they're balanced as a couple.  The Nerf Gun is something my husband would have done.  I am used to getting gifts that are not even close to what I want, but it's what he thinks I want. I learned to start giving him lists...with photos...and suggested places to buy.

Indeed.  My husband paid the bills while he was in high school because they were always getting shut off.  His mother made him quit all of the sports and activities he did to work 2 jobs to pay the electric, cable, and phone (her rationale being that he was the one who used them most....when he was never home).  There was a lot of abuse in the house too, but that's a burden he shouldn't have had at that age.

I spent 7 years working for a 3rd party collection agency, in their front office answering phone, taking payments, etc.  It would slay me when parents would come in, freaking out that their 8 year old kid was getting bills in their name.  HELLO!  Who put it in their name to begin with.  Some of the professional deadbeats believed a long-standing rumor that if you put the stuff in the kids name, and then said they were a kid, then the bills would go away.  Doesn't happen.  It just gets put in the parents name, and depending on who the money is owed to, the original creditors file fraud charges.

She had a co-sponsor.

What really bothers me is the time line.  I feel alot of the Mo/Dani drama or scenes are  re-enactments for tv.  Didn't he already come and gone with the Florida Floozie? Hasn't Mo received his green card?  I'm so confused with what we know with what we see on tv, I wish that the mods can set up a locked timeline that is updated by them with what has happened compared with what is happening on a week basis that is show on tv. Or just some timeline with dates.

Quote

Dani could've been a Stepford wife and treated him like a king, and he still would've had one foot out the door. He just won't say that he was never attracted to her and never loved her. He skirts around it and blames it on her. As bad as Dani is, she deserves to be happy and to be loved.

I agree that she deserves the be loved.   But Lord have mercy that woman needs to get some self awareness! I mean come on.  She is delusional beyond measure if she ever believed for one second that a young hot guy would want her for anything other than a green card.  She hangs all over him like a second skin (that he wants to crawl out of)!

@greekmom Your wish is my command!

May 2014: Mohamed arrives in the U.S. with 90 days to marry. Soon after his arrival, Danielle loses her job. This was filmed out of sequence to make it seem as if this happened just before the wedding day but it wasn't. Moh is furious and tells Dani he gave up everything in his home country: his job, his family, his friends. The truth, admitted by Mo himself on visa journey, was that Mo had been fired or laid off from his job in Qatar in October 2013 and thus forced to return back to his home in Tunisia. Between November 2013 and May 2014, Mo doesn't work at all. The money for his airfare, visa processing etc. all comes from Dani. His family is opposed to his plans and his best friend and younger brother are already in Canada legally. 

June-July 2014: According to Dani's eldest daughter, Mo is nice to everyone for about four weeks and he "starts yelling at you". According to Dani's former friend Angie (seen on TV giving halal potatoes cooking recipes), Moh tries to persuade her to drive him to Canada both before and after the wedding on July 9th. He's seen on the phone speaking to someone in Arabic asking: "How is the market where you are?" and "I never wanted to come here". Unfortunately for Mo, entry to the U.S. does not equate to entry to Canada.

July 2014 and afterwards: Once married, Danielle still has to come up with about $1000 to pay for Mohamed's "Adjustment of Status". She also has to reach a higher financial bar than before to show she can support Mohamed in the U.S. She can't reach that on her own, her family won't contribute, so she finds a co-worker who agrees to act as co-sponsor. She also needs to apply for a work permit for Mohamed. This arrives in December 2014, shortly after the Reunion Show taping in New York in early December. 

January 2015: According to New York mistress, she met Mohamed in person in New York during the taping. Unbeknownst to her, Mohamed has already received cash donations from his worshipful female fans. She hands over money to Mo during this first meeting and invites him to spend New Years in New York with her, her young son and her estranged husband. Mo manages to survive Christmas with Danielle in Norwalk (a family friend pays for all the Xmas presents) but then he heads to New York for what he tells Dani is a "job interview". Rumors emerge of his partying in Atlantic City with an unknown woman. Danielle and Mo and family have been ordered evicted from their home in Norwalk, so they move to Sandusky. 

February 2015: Another "job interview" in New York which is actually Mo's chance to party with New York mistress and Mo's friend from Montreal (a permanent resident). Mo's brother can't make the trip since he is only a student with no U.S. visa. Photos are posted by Moh and others of Mo's fun in New York. Danielle is concerned-- is Mo lying about his job interview? By this time, Mo's various messages with other women have come to light and posted online (check out Starcasm.com for a good history). In one message, Mo tells a woman that he will hang around if he gets a U.S. visa but otherwise will join his brother in Canada. 

March 2015: After a few more "job trips" by Mo, Danielle is getting fed up. Mo says he wants to join his brother and best friend in Las Vegas to celebrate his birthday on March 8th. However, once in Vegas, sightings of Mo with an "Asian woman" (New York mistress) arise. New York mistress "gaslights" Dani by contacting here and assuring her that it's all innocent, just friends, just trying to help etc. Dani's best "real life" friend Beth (she has an even closer online friend) takes her to Pakistan with her for a one week vacation. Pakistan? Yes, because Beth's husband lives there and is awaiting finalization of his own immigrant visa. Both Beth and Dani's online bestie appear on the new Happily episodes. 

Late March/early April: All hell breaks lose when Mo announces his intention to visit a friend in Florida. Now both Dani and NY mistress are concerned--what fresh hell is this? Mo-- not the sharpest knife in the drawer-- posts photos of himself at Biltmore House in North Carolina. This is his second visit to see Luisa in South Carolina. NY mistress posts about this massive betrayal and eventually admits that she was more than a friend. She states she has sent Mo upwards of 20K in the preceding months and is less than pleased with him. Now all Mo's women correspond with each other with accusations and counter-accusations flying. NY mistress ups the ante by claiming to be pregnant by Mo....Uh oh 

Summer 2015: Taping starts on a Where are they Now? 90 day fiance show. This is the show where Danielle's family confronts her about her marriage to Mohamed and Danielle insists that there isn't enough "proof" to show that Mo cheated on her. (Live film at 11 might not have sufficed as proof). Mo, on camera, denies everything to Dani while sporting a giant Herpes sore on his lip: "I don't have girlfriends. I don't have any friends. Everyone is lying to you because you weak." That's good enough for Danielle "I'm going to trust him for now". 

September 2015: Adjustment of Status interview with Immigration. Mohamed is granted a conditional visa (green card) for two years. In the meantime, he jets off to Tunisia to celebrate his elder brother's "weeding".  When he returns, uh oh.....busted again! He has been messaging with a woman from Canada about their plans to start a business together in Canada. She sends him money via Western Union but Danielle finds the receipt. Mo again claims innocence: he was only looking for work, not romance! 

December 18, 2015: Mo leaves Danielle and goes deep, deep undercover in Sandusky. This is where the most recent show starts (Happily) with Danielle and her real life bestie hunting for Mohamed. In fact, he has sought refuge with Halal Potatoes Angie (not Tom). The re-enactment of Mo on the phone with Luisa actually took place in late December.

January 2016: Mo headed to Florida to party with Luisa and her friends. He posted a photo of the happy group on his Facebook page. Mo then returned to Sandusky and Angie's place but with plans to return to Florida. By this time, TLC had ordered new segments to be taped. Let the good times roll!

Feb/March to present: Mohamed joined Luisa in Florida again. He had to return to Sandusky for some TLC taping and this is when he stayed with Tom. (He was no longer welcome at Angie's). TLC encouraged Danielle to, at her own expense, fly down to Miami to confront Mohamed. This is the segment we haven't seen yet but looks like Mohamed, true to form, calls the police yet again. (Starcasm has a list of all the times police have been called except for the time in Miami. Suffice to say, the Miami police were not amused)

So how's that?

something is wrong with the quote function again? That was Geekmom's question, mine's was wondering if 90 day Visa provided a sponsor to get a cast member into the country.

[realitymaven]

@Raja sorry, my mistake but now fixed. TLC is cheap so no sponsor provided.

@greekmom Your wish is my command!

 

So how's that? 

@realitymaven Thank you!! Explains alot on how it's re-enactments or tlc production driven.  Mo and Dani are very narcissist and fools for being used by TLC/Sharp entertainments.  They will go away eventually like the Duggers and the Boos.

If Mo really wants to come to Canada (as a Canadian the thought disgusts me), I think Nunavut would be the best place for him.

Reality Maven, thank you so much for the timeline!!!

[realitymaven]

Nunavut would have none of him. heee

I agree that she deserves the be loved.   But Lord have mercy that woman needs to get some self awareness! I mean come on.  She is delusional beyond measure if she ever believed for one second that a young hot guy would want her for anything other than a green card.  She hangs all over him like a second skin (that he wants to crawl out of)! 

Not that young and really not hot.

From that article/video while smiling like a fool (I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say her smile is an anxiety response):

Quote

"I think, in the beginning, he did love me, but then he started getting attention from prettier, better-looking women, women that had more money," she continues. "I think he changed."

Damn, she's infuriating. He never loved you Danielle! He used you! You know it, he knows it, and the entire world knows it. Stop smiling like a scary clown and face facts. She is going to go to Immigration and tell them the same thing, and they are going to let him stay because they both insist the marriage was real. That two minute clip has me irritated already, and the show doesn't air for another twelve hours. Deep breaths...

[escapetoreality]

I haven't figured out the timeline in terms of the producer-recreated moments but it was hard not to see the dramatic changes of seasons in the Sandusky scenes.   Reality Maven -- amazing job. Now to fill in the Gabriel affair? 

[hatchetgirl]

Ok, with it being so easy for him to just"get around" here (who the hell just hands money to strangers? How do i meet them? Lol), how can I emigrate to Canada for the Netherlands? Anyone?
