That may be the long term plan,  but has to wait for Alexi to gain citizenship maybe 4 more TV seasons away. And his siblings are not immediate relatives and if they hit adulthood before he gains citizenship and is able to petetion them then they go way down the priority list

My husband was able to sponsor his parents immediately after he got his citizenship (which was three years after he first got his green card). Our lawyer said he has to wait something like ten years to sponsor his brother.

It would not suprise me if Alexi's parents left Alexi's brother behind alone in Israel to be with their perfect son, even though the brother also seems to have emotional issues.

[Hero]

I chuckled at the part where the show made it seem like the mother,father, and brother couldn't do anything without Alexei.

Like when he changed that lightbulb. I'm pretty sure the mother or brother could have stepped on a chair and changed it themselves. 

The brother can also translate for the father and drive him around. 

 

That guilt trip they put him on was very dramatic. The mother cries everyday? I think some time apart from each other is healthy for them.

Seattle is pretty much the opposite of Miami and I think Paola would hate it here.  On a meaner note, Danielle's friend needs to look into some rosacea meds.

But it's better than Oklahoma for her!! There's are least some sort of 'scene' there.  I was actually shocked that he may have had an interview outside of oklahoma. Maybe manufacturered, maybe not.

I felt bad for Alexi - no one should have their parents guilt trip them that bad.  And every time they did that or when Loren mentioned them coming to live in the US I wanted to yell "WHAT ABOUT THE BROTHER".  Was he even there?? They acted like he was dead. 

If Mo is coming back to Ohio what does that mean for the scene where Danielle calls the cops on him?? I think we all assumed that was down in Miami but guess not?

This was the first episode I felt Noon was a little immature. Just assuming getting a green card back is easy, or that she didn't really care.  I understand her wanting to be near her parents when her father is ill but what is he suppose to do? Go be a farmer I guess. 

[Major Bigtime]

Someone earlier mentioned it would take a long time to get the brother over here.

While Pao is a beautiful girl....(and I could only wish I would look so good), I did notice at her photo shoot that when looking at her from the back she is 'heavy in the ham-hocks'. Not chunky/clunky like Louisa...but far thicker in the thighs than bikini models. She's best stick to jobs where she is dressed because fully clothed.....she looks the part of a model. 

I was surprised by Louisa's figure. Not that she has a bad one per se, I just didn't realize she was a bit heavier than I thought until this past Sunday's episode. I don't think I remember a full body shot of her or it just didn't register but I noticed it when she came to meet Mo. 

I think Pao has an enviable figure and I myself would kill for it, but model material ... not really seeing it!  She does have a very engaging sparkling personality. There are a lot of Spanish language shows - news, variety, etc., that film in Miami and I could see her doing something like that either as one of the models they sometimes have on their variety shows or some kind of limited hosting/contributing ET or fashion reporter.

One weird thing is that I find Pao's hair most of the time - bad.  I am assuming she has extensions but the differing lengths, textures and thickness is not a good look. 

One consoling thing about the Alexei situation is that they did seem to shield him from their issues (with the exception of his brother's breakdown, which yeah, they definitely were wise to inform him of) while he was away and didn't fill him in until he arrived back home.

[Peanutbuttercup]

I wonder how legit that "modeling agency" in Miami was. From what we saw, it was in some storefront with all the windows and door covered in metal burglar bars. Most storefront type "modeling agencies" are just scam type places where they will take "management fees" from would-be models and send them out on a photoshoot (which the model has to pay for) on a photographer that the agency selects, in order to improve their portfolio. At least that's the way I've seen them covered on scam-buster type shows. Everyone gets sent out on a photoshoot which they pay for, and the photographer pays a kickback to the modeling agency. Actual modeling jobs rarely come out of it, but all the wannabe models pay a lot for the privilege of upgrading their portfolio and having "professional representation."

And I hate to buy into society's norms about what is beautiful or appealing in women, but at 29, Paola is getting a bit long in the tooth to have aspirations for a full-time modeling career, at least the kind she seems interested in.

Maybe for Catalogue like Sears or Target?

She would be good for Porn. 

Maybe she doesn't know where Seattle is-why would she know?

I cringe when Mo and dani come on!! Stop showing them and deport the A-hole! If he was broke how did he get back to Sandusky? Did she pay for it?

It's not being mean, I was wondering the same thing about her rosacea.  Looking at her overall weight dustribution, it looks like she's got some hormonal imbalance going on, and rosacea often presents along with imbalances. 

Seattle may gave a similar climate to some parts of Colombia. The Andes influence the weather there and some of the cities are at a higher elevation. She'll have better scenery in Seattle than Podunk Oklahoma, but she won't have the access to Spanish speakers like she would have in Miami.

I think she'd like Seattle a lot better  than OK but there's not a lot of call for bikinis and micro minis  here...

I don't think mainstream, like editorial bikini modeling is what Pao is angling for, but even if she was, there's a growing appreciation for curvier women in mainstream media. The days of the stick figure with surgically enhanced boobs are done, now it's about the stick figure that has not only surgically enhanced boobs, but a surgically enhanced butt as well (and Paola has both).

 

She could easily be one of the ladies who dance on Telemundo and Univision shows, many of which are filmed in Miami, or model for various Miami owned businesses. It would actually be the same thing she's doing now in Oklahoma, but with WAY more competition (but conversely, more job opportunities).

I think jobs are only part of the reason she wants to move to Miami; I think the big reason is that it's a fun place with a sizeable Latino community (with many of these Latinos being Colombian as she is; if I'm not mistaken Florida is one of the states , if not the state with the most Colombian immigrants). My parents are immigrants and I grew up in an area with a lot of other people from their home country, because if you can't be home, the next best thing is being with people who remind you of it. There are very few minorities period in Oklahoma, and the few that are Latino are most likely of Mexican descent.

I didn't see here if anyone commented on Luisa, but boy- did she become a turncoat rapidly (didn't like all the cameras around? Realized quickly that Mohammed is a leech and a slug?). Her smug expressions, obvious disdain for Mo, and passive-aggressive behavior made me want to put my fist right through the screen.  It's vague as to how they became "friends," but I think her one and only interest was in getting her mug on TV. I'm curious to know what her comments to the cameramen were about things that had happened, or the "real Mo," or whatever she was saying, meant.

The one thing that seems to be a common thread among all these couples is the complete and all-consuming insecurity of each of the Americans. Russ is a nervous, wimpy guy who has no job and is always fretting that Pao will leave (which looks like a highly probable thing).  Loren worries constantly: "I'm terrified Alex will want to stay!" (insert vocal fry/blinking and eyes brimming with tears).  Noon's husband (he's forgettable; I don't know his name) always looks scared when she talks about Thailand- and gives up WORKING to bring her to a new city because she's afraid of New Orleans.  And don't even get me going on Danielle.  Her two expressions are a dumb smile ("I'm gonna get him deported"- smile) or tearful - "I'm hopin' he'll start to work on our marriage- even though he ain't payin' the cable bill and he's on facebook with Luisa..." cry, cry.  They all went into this knowing they were bringing someone into completely unknown territory yet they are surprised when the transition is not perfect.

Mo has a lot of nerve, stating that he "needs" Danielle to give him the divorce because otherwise he will lose his ability to stay in the States and- what? Make a life for himself?  Yes, Mo- she certainly owes you whatever your little heart desires. Because you are such a great guy.

Her actions made me applaud!

Paola is beautiful but isnt she old on the "starting up my modeling career" front.    Lexi and Loren...I'm torn.  Part of me thinks his parents need to stop guilt tripping him.  The other part thinks Loren should get a reality check.  He moved around the world for her to move in with her & her parents.  Its easy for her to say "leave your parents, your life is with me" when your own parents are so close.  When Lexi was having a private conversation with his dad, she kept sticking her nose in.  Good grief, he lives with you.  He cant have a conversation with his own dad whom he hasnt seen in a year without you stalking him every second. Give them a moment alone.   Anfisa....that wedding dress made me want to take a Zyrtec.

[realitymaven]

True confession: I love the Dani/Mo characters, each and every one of them. But I don't think my love is pure. I think it may be like my love for pizza just before consuming too much and wanting to throw up. Worse than that, I fast forward on iTunes through the boring couples to get to the gift that keeps on giving. Yes, I am an addict. I'm like the old Woody Allen joke about two women at a horrible Catskills resort: "The food here is terrible, just awful."  "Yes, and the portions are much too small". 

[Sup wit dat]

I chuckle every time Mo says, "She disrespected me" as if it justifies how insulted he feels.  It sounds like in Tunisia it might carry a lot of weight if a man says that about a woman.

But someone needs to take that boy on the side and explain to him that in America the culture's a little different:  you don't automatically get respect because you have a penis.  You gotta earn respect to get it, and that includes putting in the effort to earn respect from both men and women.

Just had to see this again. Well said.

[Major Bigtime]

Ever notice how many times Danielle says "In my fantasy...." or how she smiles all the time when she shouldn't be. She calls the girls out to talk to them about something serious and she's smiling like the Joker.

[Meowwww]

Danielle has inappropriate smiling disorder.  And she is sharper than she looks and acts. 

[parisprincess]

I can't stand Danielle, but when Mo told her that she made him give up everything, I wish she had said "I didn't make you give up anything and I don't owe you anything" before walking out on him. Now I'm hoping she doesn't cave and goes through with the annulment.

[Cherrio]

Danielle needs to grow up, face reality and tweeze her damn eyebrows !   I want to Robert Goulet my TV when she is on.

[Straycat80]

Anybody think the same red car that came to pick up Mo at the train station was the same red car Danielle was driving to the restaurant to meet Mo? Ok, thinking too much maybe.

I hope Danielle sticks to her guns and files for an annulment, I'd like to see Mo and his smug face get sent back to Tunisia. 

If Alex's friends are not happy for him trying to be happy with Loren and making a better life in the states, then they are not really his friends. Your real friends would be supportive. 

Devar and (her name escapes me). I would not give money to his younger sister or the other two sisters either. They seem to be doing well on their own and the younger sister can work and go to school at the same time. She came across as lazy. 

Brett and Daya. Boring.

She filed for an annulment in January and withdrew it in April.  She filed a second time on October 4, but, that filing was closed on October 11, transferred and reassigned.  I'm not sure what's happened to it since then. 

BTW, no one should assume that an annulment will get him deported.  There's a lot more to it than that.

Many years ago, when I was in undergrad, I lived in a house with two roommates. One moved out, and we needed to replace them. This friend-of-a-friend moved in. He was from Nigeria.  Over the next six months, for the first time in my life, I felt what it was like to live with a man who truly, deeply, and unequivocally believed that women were below men, and were not to challenge them in any way.   It turned into a very ugly situation. 

[Christina]

The acting on this show is as bad as on the Teen Mom shows. When they stage the scenes, it's obvious because none of them are actors.

Producer: Okay, now Alexei's friend, pretend that you are done with him because he moved. You'll make up next episode and surprise him at his wedding. Okay, now Loren, pout and whine about taking Alexei away, your mom will comfort you and then we'll have one of his friends be sure to blame you next week, so you can pout and cry some more.

Producer: Step-dad, now is the time to discuss your thoughts about him going over to meet Daya. Daya be sure to tell him that he hurt your feelings.

 

I don't know what to think about Devar's older sisters. They smiled and laughed after many comments, so I'm not sure how to take them laughing about her making the money. Based on the previews and my opinion that the younger sister wants to be supported while she lays around, I expected to dislike them, but now, just think they may have had a bit too much to drink.

That scene between Danielle and Mo at the restaurant should be required viewing for every teenager to see how scammers and emotional abusers can twist and turn your words back on you. He is a master manipulator.

[Trampolina]

Devar's wife looks drastically different in the Jamaica footage versus the talking heads. Did she forget her sun block?

 

One of Danielle's daughters looks like her clone. I can't imagine the nightmare it would be to have her as your mother. I hope they all move across the country but I'm afraid the clone will live with Danielle forever.

[realitymaven]

An annulment won't automatically get Mo deported, but it's a step in the right direction. And it's on track, the court information is misleading. (looks closed but isn't)

The joke is on us with that broad.

[parisprincess]

Before Danielle went to meet Mo, she said something about getting fixed up so he would see what he was missing. Well, I don't know what miracle she and her daughter expected to perform, but she looked as unkempt as she always does. As for Mo, he should be looking for another woman to pay his way now that the blonde has dumped him; at least until he is (hopefully) sent back to Tunisia.

[Brooklynista]

Who picked Mo up from the parking lot? Danielle drove off...is he still standing there?

[Miss Chevious]

He probably called one of his lady friends to come and get him. He has legions of them all over, I hear. Then there's always his Walmart buddy Tom.

[ChaChaSlide]

I always feel so bad for Danielle's daughters, she completely disregards their feelings and opinions on a situation that most certainly affects them too. It's all about her, her pleasure and wants, while her children have had to sit in the dark and fear homelessness when she neglects the bills to run to Qatar. She didn't even address her daughter's concerns about Mohamed treating her and her sisters like crap when she brought them up, just kept saying "I want to see where the relationship can go". That's so freaking sick. She reminds me of the women that date known child molesters but refuse to leave because they just "need" a man. I can just that she's the type that has had bills under their name, ruining their credit before they even reached their teens.

I don't think Dani will ever ask for an annulment.  If she did that her TLC paycheck would go bye bye.  I would not be a bit surprised if Dani and Mo sat down together and discussed how long they can keep this gravy train rolling.  As long as they have a story, TLC's writing the checks.   I know I am being cynical but if Dani truly wanted an annulment and wanted Mohammad out of the country, she would have done it sans cameras and reality TV show. 

I feel sorry for Dani's daughters, but for all we know, they could be in on the game as well.

[Landlord]

I noticed Faith was absent during that conversation between Dani and her daughters. I hope she already left and is working her little but off trying to get a 2/3 bedroom in her own name so she can move her sisters in one by one, and bye bye mommy dearest.

[Major Bigtime]

I made a point to watch the Mo/Dani recap. Watching him work, her manipulations and tears, it's a real psycholigacal study. Should be required watching so you can see how it all came to be where we're at now with this saga.

[ChaChaSlide]

And screw Melanie for the shade thrown towards Devar's sisters, "this house is so nice--what do you do?". That is so rude and so inappropriate to ask to women you have never met before. She also didn't dress for the occasion; I totally get they're in Jamaica and it's hot, but a nice maxi dress and sandals were too much to ask? Meeting Devar's older sisters should have been held in a similar esteem to meeting his mother; these were most likely the women that raised him when mom was in the US working.

And whose to say they're even aware/involved with the Punkeshar situation? It wasn't lost on me that Punkeshar and Devar look a lot more like than Devar and the older sisters, and the older sisters seemed to be in their mid to late 30s, whereas Devar and Punkeshar are in their mid to late 20s. Punkeshar might be Devar's sister paternally, but not maternally for all we know. Or maybe they are helping, but Devar's expected to help too. I don't know what it is, but I get the feeling that I know just as much as Devar's familial ties and situations as Mel does, and that's a bad thing.

Devar and melanie .. i do agree she should have wore something more appropriate.. but when those 2sisters laughed that mel was paying more of the bills i found utterly disrespectful i would send them a dime..  for Punkeshar they should help her...

Alexei and Loren i feel bad for him but maybe he didnt say bye to them or kept in touch but they shouldnt diss him like that.. but his friend sapi the one helping, he couldnt have warned Alexei wtf..i like loren alot but a little too leachy to alexei let him breathe woman..

Brett and Daya those are weird i dont know cannot pin point it.. but she looked pregnant when she put her purse in front of her walking in the resto...

I agree! This is what you wear when you're going to someone's home to meet them for the first time? I'm a very casual person, don't stand on ceremony much, but sheesh. You're going to meet your husband's family. Show a little courtesy. They dressed nicely to meet you, and you look like you're on the way home from the grocery store. And yes, Melanie was downright rude.

So, let me get this straight--Loren has a wedding planner in Israel. Who neglected to tell her of the time honored sacred Israeli tradition of hand delivering wedding invitations. And Alexei's friends all love him so much that they had nervous breakdowns when the evil temptress Loren spirited him away, and they're so angry at him for, you know, living his own life, that they cannot, simply cannot, forgive him for breaking their hearts, so they will never speak to him again. Two things: with friends like these, who needs enemies? and what is Alexei's superpower? How does he cause all these people to fall apart when his removes his magical presence?

[poeticlicensed]

I am calling BS on Alexi and Loren's wedding. I mean seriously, does anyone believe that this guy comes back to Israel for the sole purpose of having a big wedding and have his wife meet all his friends and they all turn up their noses? Sorry, TLC, not buying it, total producer driven drama. No one tells their friend's wife upon first meeting that she took him away. . That space looked gorgeous, BTW. 

Oh Dani Dani - I am too beginning to think that Dani is playing for the cameras. She knows damn well that Mo is outta there and she doesn't seem to care other than she is pissed that she was taken advantage of (her opinion). The TLC checks roll ineach time she does a confessional about how she has fantasies of them getting back together. She is on to the next one, IMO. But TLC has provided her with more money than she has likely seem in her life (Mo too), so why spoil it?  

[Major Bigtime]

Brett and Daya, remember when his flowers were not good enough, and the ring wasn't up to snuff for her? From what I have heard through mutual friends, she's as bad as Anfisa. She demands more, better, expensive things in order to stay happy.

It's fascinating to watch with the knowledge we have now, isn't it? I wonder if any of the other show participants noticed it back in December 2014?   I heard they did at the most recent Tell All. Seemed to feel that Mo's behavior was appalling.

You are so right. I thought of that during that "Our journey" show after the most recent episode when sister Sara says "you have blinders on".  Dani showed up to that lunch with Mo hoping to hear: "it's all lies, the other women meant nothing to me, let's give it another try."

Best line in the show is by Mo, "This is not your house, you do not have the key".  Oh it is her house in terms of you.  Who the hell does he think he is.  We really want him in our country?
