Russ and Paola: You're the Only Juan for Me

[pollywood]

Paola hit the nail on the head when she said Russ wanted an exotic wife. He thought she would keep it all in the bedroom and only in the bedroom, for some crazy reason. His "values" are annoying me. He needs to move onto another horrible flaw in his wife. Also, what she had on in front of her inlaws was basically a camisole and shorts pj set. Not terribly offensive. Maybe she put the socks on to not have bare feet? And if he works in oil I am sure he could have a job that takes him offshore like he did previously in which it wouldn't matter where his home base is located. He's just uncompromising in my opinion. On all things except letting his wife move to Miami (TLC plot? Why are so many of them in Miami, like Mohamed was for a short time?) I didn't find her video objectionable personally. By the way, reggaeton is a rather large genre. It's just not mainstream American.

All of that said, she chose a sketchy agent to work with (or TLC chose) so that's the type of work she is going to get. Especially being 10+ years older than her competition/peers. Blonde hair on a Latina is not special. It's skanky. I think she should try and meet her husband a little more in the middle when it comes to modeling jobs. Get a new agent maybe. And not live in Miami where Latinas are a dime a gross. Or whatever is larger than a gross. She's doing herself no favors with so much better competition.

What, exactly, does Pao think a slut looks like? Please, someone, send me a picture of an outfit that Pao would say no to.

In her eyes someone who isn't sexy or attractive, dressing sexily.

Serious question: what is going on with Paola's rear end?

I thought it was a shadow from an overhead light. And Russ found this objectionable? I wear less on the regular and I am no model.

[Mrs. Hanson]

I saw the footage of Pao per the "Oh my husband!!  What will he think?  MY HUSBAND!!!"  Pao, STFU and either put on the outfits chosen for you or get the hell out.  If I were running that shoot I would have said, straight up:  "Put it on or don't, I can line up ten 19 year olds who will put it on in about fifteen minutes.  Time is money."  I know it is amped up for drama but she makes herself look bad.  Not that she needs much help.....

You wear less on YouTube videos or in the privacy of your home?  That's the distinction Russ is making.

Russ doesn't really seem upset does he?  I mean, he says repeatedly he does not want her posing in lingerie because it's against his values.  But his affect is flat.  Where is the yelling, the passion, the emotion?  Fgs Russ, your wife is a video ho and looks like a skank.  And the best you can muster is, I told you honey, lingerie is just for my eyes, you crossed the line.  Maybe Russ doesn't really care about Paola or that she looks like a slut.  Maybe his objections to lingerie are made up drama. Maybe Russ is a very bad actor.  

Russ pinged by gaytar hard last night. Hmm did he get married to make his parents happy?

Yes, and for this "career" Russ is expected to sacrifice his actual career as an educated, highly-skilled engineer. 

This! Never understood how stupid Paolo must be if she doesn't grasp that Russita is fully capable of earning multiple times more as an engineer than her being the next top model. And once he scores a good position and money starts flying in on regular basis, then she can freely move around the country for all those amazing jobs, knowing that there is a stable souce of finances. If she continues doing it her way, they both will end up without jobs, bankrup, no house and in debt.

This way keeps her on TLC, the purpose of the "career seems to be the lure of fame not the riches that top performers get. She is at the barely survive level of the entertainment business

[sleepyjean]

I bet she wishes he still had his old job. She could do whatever wherever while he was offshore working. Shoulda thought ahead girl.

[Meowwww]

I think Russ is aware that a 30 year old's modeling career is smut.  He doesn't want his wife to sell out for it.  

He is painfully aware of how it looks, good boy he is.  

Pao wont ever feel his feelings.  It's all about her and her career.

Wait, why work as an engineer when you can sell empanadas on the corner?  The pay is the same, right?  

IMO, Paola's suggestion that her engineer husband sell empanadas is the stupidest thing she has said on the show, and she has said a lot of stupid stuff.

As an engineer myself who is pretty much in the same boat as Russ, except my Espicey Latino isn't wanting to move to Miami for his modeling cur-reeeer, I decided I was done with this empty headed ninnymuggins right there and then after she said such a stupid thing. I wanted to bitch slap her then and there.

My previous partner was an engineer, though not oil & gas like Russita, but at one point of our lives he was also struck with unemployment due to the market being oversaturated with the engineers of his kind. Never had I asked or even thought of asking him to go sell empanadas.  I suggested he looks for a temporary job in an adjacent field that he was perfectly fit for (but didn't like to work in).  So, once the market stabilized, he went back to his preferred field.

I understand Russita's case is more complicated, and would require accepting an entry-level job, but I am pretty sure if Paolo had just as much brain as hair extensions, she would understand that he had more chances of finding something more appropriate in states other than Florida.

By the way, does anybody know why she is so stuck on Florida? Why not California? It is full of Spaniards, similar climate, beaches, producers, millionaires & billionaires.

Really, because in my city empanada dealers make well into the six figures, with medical, dental, and a 401k.

I have a question about Pao. Did she ever say anything about wanting a cur-eeeer as the most sexy, spicy, hot latina to ever grace american soil before they got married? I don't remember her ever saying that. It seems like she decided she was bored in OK because she was just too spicy and sexy to live there and decided she was going to move to Miami, Russ be damned.

Not unless you count her "shoe company" that she ran with her brother that magically materialized on their first follow-up.  She wanted to go home for six months to work with her brother on it.  Russ didn't want her to go, but settled for her going home for 3 months (if she really did - I don't know how much of it was for drama).  Said shoe company disappeared just as quickly as it showed up.

No, mi amor, her cah-REAR only surfaced after Ross lost his job.  She is so spicy & has such a hot bod that she can model & support them, si?

[lovesnark]

Thank you, mi amors! Just what I thought. She was bored in Oklahoma and decided she'd move to Miami because Miami is the only place where people understand what a spicy, hot, latina needs to start a cur-eeeer in looking like a skank. And, Russ would want to financially support her even though he doesn't have a job, they have a house to pay for, etc because she's just SO spicy, si?I wish Russ would have asked her how much her cur-eeeer has contributed to the bills so far.

In some fields, a person needs to put in a lot of time to get to some level of recognition or success. Modeling is probably one of them. Pao's timing is just very bad. If she did the same thing when Russ was working and they weren't in limbo, it would be less stressful for both of them.

I believe it's way more than her timing being bad. She's a selfish brat. Breaking into modeling at 29 isn't a smart idea anywhere in the world. Unless you're 6 feet tall and look like you're 16. They'd just bought a house and Russ lost his job. Instead of trying to figure out a way for her to make some money to help with the financial burden, she runs off to Miami to party and chase a pipe dream. So, now Russ has to support two households. She should have taken her own advice and started selling empanadas on the street corner instead of running away. Even if she's made a little money *cough* modeling, I'm sure it's not enough to cover what Russ has had to invest in her cur-eeeer while trying to keep up with everything at home.

She should have stayed in Oklahoma because she actually got commercials there. 

She wants Miami because she wants to land a richer fish than Russ. It's why she is "personal training" now. Training is the new entryway into high-end prostitution.  Miami became an option for her the minute Russ stopped making the big checks. Once she lands a wealthy client who only wants to hook up every now and then -- leaving her free to hang with friends like Juan -- Russ is out of her life.

• Pao is a bitch. She deserves the quasi yacht girl career she is creating for herself. That video was as low rent as her extension s. She needs to quit kicking sand in Anfisa's face also. Both of those girls are on the dig and we all know it.

I wonder if Russ would have brought her back and married her if he had met her in church and she dressed conservatively (his opinion of conservatively) every time they were together.  I don't know where they met but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the beach.

I wonder if Russ would have brought her back and married her if he was actually heterosexual?  

She got her green card.  He got his beard.  A spicy Latina beard.  His "don't do lingerie" shoots is what he thinks a heterosexual male would feels.  He is not at all convincing.  And without that supposed lingerie concern he has, what would their storyline be?

[magemaud]

I just saw on Instagram that her hair is now long and GRAY?

Pao is in hot water now. She and Lauren are trying their best to back out of their horrible performance. To quote Padma Lakshmi "Two words. National television." .

Everything else about her is fake, Loubs may as well be too. 

And they look like they would cause your feet to be stinky AF, esp right there under the toes.  

Also Pao looks like the type to wear obscene perfume and just drench herself in it and to hell with anybody else's allergies or sensitivities. 

[Baltimore Betty]

I would not want to own a pair of Loubs, the brand has been cheapened by the all the Housewives and Paola's fakey fake shoes.  I did not think for one minute Pao's shoes were the real deal.

I'll never understand why anyone would spend outrageous amounts of money on shoes.  Even if I was obscenely wealthy I wouldn't spend thousands on a pair of shoes just because they have a red sole so people think I'm obscenely wealthy.

It is hard to type the words when you are two days in on Nyquil. Pao's shoes have bigger bows than the original shoes and the black platform sole is missing as well.

Idk why people try to pass off fakes as the real thing. Most other people can tell immediately. When I was 18, I worked with an older lady who was showing off her Rolex, the second hand "ticked" and I knew a real Rolex's second hand was smooth.  My 18 year old self didn't have the balls to point that out.  

It just comes across as pathetic when someone tries to pass off a fake as real. If someone admits readily that what they are wearing isn't the real deal, I'm cool with that.  Pao doesn't come across as having enough humility to ever admit that she'd wear fake loubs if called out on it. She doesn't have humility in any other aspect of her life.

Wonder how she paid for those if they are real.  TLC bonus for bringing the drama to the tell all?  Russ's meager earnings?  We all know it wasn't from her cuhreer, she's in the red on that. 

Hope their house back in OK has sold and they aren't trying to maintain upkeep on two households. Where I live, you have to keep utilities on any house that's being sold thru a realtor, plus the mortgage and insurance obviously.
