I can't believe I sat here and watched this. 

Yep, I feel the same way, I can't believe I watched this show again. And the only difference is for some reason, they want us to know about the camera people. I can't understand why.

I also can't believe Sandra Celli is still the Gypsy dress designer, I wonder when this season was filmed? Maybe they've had it waiting for two years?

Only thing missing was a member of the Stanley family.

[Oosala]

God but Sam was disgustingly drunk at his "wedding."  What an absolute mess.  He couldn't stand up or speak.  Hopefully he didn't drive off after his "bride" and her cousin.

The other girl, the one with the gorger boyfriend, I couldn't understand a word she said.  First she talked very fast and second it sounded like she had some weird kind of accent I've never heard before on this show.

I will admit to a little thrill when this show showed up on my DVR.  It makes me feel so normal.  No matter how many problems I have, I'm not THAT fucked up.

[OnceSane]

I love watching this show around my husband…he has "WTF?" face the whole time.  I feel weird, but I almost cheered a little when Wasted's wife left with her cousin.  The whole sitch was fucked up, but don't be coming to my wedding stinking ass drunk!  Especially when you're the groom!  He lucky he got as far as he did.  I woulda smelled his breath and left.

I know!  I can't believe she actually went through with the ceremony.  Now she has to go through all the legal mess of a divorce. 

The other storyline with the "pick a husband that we found for you" party was kind of sad.  She wanted to be with the guy she liked and ended up with the guy she just met.  Why do they insist on these kids getting married to the first person they see?  So bizarre to me!

I only watched this train wreck of a show because I saw the wedding part when I switched over to live TV and it was tuned to TLC to record "Unexpected."  I recorded it on the late feed because I had to get the whole story.

[cork dork]

Never having seen this show, I was totally sucked in after about 20-30 seconds of the cousin or dude with disgusting teeth dilemma and now I’m wondering how I’ve missed multiple seasons. 

So. Many. Questions. And now there’s the Stanley family and all of their theatrics, making all the others look completely reasonable and sane. Wow. 

I’m so in. 

[GaT]

Jewel: “When I got to stand near the aisle & I looked at Nick, he looks so much younger shaving off that beard, he looked great. He must really like me to do that.” He must really like you???? You just married him, is "like" the best you're hoping for? Also, classy move throwing your own wedding cake around.

Ahh, the Stanley's are back, Nettie Nukkie, Dallas, Annie, AND Mellie. I guess now that they're getting paychecks from the show again, they can stop trying to run scams at Target.

Their parties & weddings are still as lame as ever.

They made sure that we knew that the film crew was there again when they put “Producer: Dallas, Dallas” at the bottom of the screen & then showed the crew during the fight. I still find that strange, why do they want to make sure we know about the film crew?

I don’t really understand what Annie & Mellie were planning, they never got out of the car. Did they think everyone was just going to stand there while they yelled at people? And whose hair was hanging out of the car door?

I’m pretty sure it is meth.  It has been a long time since this show was on, but years back Mellie was a stripper and the family wanted to do an intervention.  Mellie admitted to abusing and said she was mentally messed up from getting married in her teens to an abusive and controlling man.

At the time, the Mom (Nellie? I get all kids mixed up) was on the outs with Dallas for drugging and partying too much, and said that Dallas lost custody of her kids.  Thought it was very sad that there was a little toddler around as Dallas was telling her married lover how she was going to fuck Annie up.  These people are so gross.

I read somewhere about the Nukkie and Pookie divorce and the article said that Pookie got custody of their son.  Based on that and her actions at her shower I suspect she is using hard drugs too.

I accidentally caught this show last night and didn’t realize it started again.  Does anyone know how many episodes there are or when they actually filmed?

[Miss Chevious]

Nettie, Nuckie, Dallas, Annie and especially Mellie have not aged well.

[Booger666]

Spoiler

According to Starcasm Nuckie went back to Pookie sometime after the shower.  They are still together and Nuckie recently got a tattoo of Pookie’s initials.  Pookie has 1 kid with an ex wife.

Producers paid Annie and Mellie to go to the shower and a producer drove them.  Annie didn’t want to go as she was on bond/probation, but the producers kept upping the offer so she finally agreed.  Dallas got the worst of the fight as she reached  her arm through the window and Annie closed the window on it.  Nettie pulled Nuckie off Annie before she got seriously hurt.

Definitely meth for Mellie, I'm not surprised in the least.  Though Dallas & Nukkie looked better than expected.

The white one was a clubbing dress, completely inappropriate for a 3 year old.

Nukkie is insane, does anyone know if she's still with Pookie?

EDITED: I forgot to mention that once more they made sure we knew there was a film crew there when they had grandma scream "get that camera out of my face!" at the camera person. I don't know why this is bugging me so much, but it does. Why are they making sure we know there's a film crew there? Do they think the viewers thought it was amazing that these things all just happened to get recorded somehow before?

Whatever happened to the coming-out  dress full of bells that she has to walk without ringing or else she is considered 'not pure'?

Because the swaying of a gypsy girl's skirt was considered 'overtly sexual' the VO, said. Yet girls do hoochie-coochie dances at parties and out on a board walk for money? LOL makes no sense! these 'rituals' and 'traditions' are make up on the fly for the show BS, IMHO.

[GaT]

Jett & her mother Angie are the same people with the little girl’s party & the white dress. Are they running out of Gypsies? Are the Stanleys asking for too much money? Though I’m pretty sure Angie & Jett are related to the Stanleys because Angie looks a lot like Jettie Matthews who is Lottie Mae Stanley’s sister

I wonder if Mona Lisa Jr actually lost the weight, or if the dress not fitting was faked (most likely), or they bought another dress in a larger size. I refuse to believe that she didn’t try the dress on before the day of the party. Didn’t her mother say something about her party being the biggest party of the year? That was a pretty nothing party, they didn’t even have a big cake, it was just some cheap sheet cake.

I guess that tradition went the way of all the other "real" traditions they have.

And I hate to beat a dead horse, but they just had to remind us again the show is being filmed by having someone from the film crew ask Jett if she was going to have her happily ever after. WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING THIS?

[Miss Chevious]

Angie certainly has anger management issues.

Last week she went ballistic over the color of her little granddaughter’s party dress and this week she’s wigging out over her 26 year old daughter’s choice of husband. It’s one thing to not like the guy but to barge in like an evil avenger and cause a full-fledged brawl during the nuptials is ridiculous.

Hate to break it to ya Angie, Jett is going to marry who she wants and all you should do is smile, hope it works out and be there for her to pick up the pieces if it doesn’t. 

Jett should have had Gypsy Security stationed at the door to prevent Angie from causing a disturbance in the first place. But then it wouldn’t have made for all the drama this show seems to require.

I couldn’t help but notice the resemblance between Angie and Annie, one of the Stanley cousins. I wonder if she’s her mother. I know a lot of them are related. Did anyone else notice that, or have I been watching too many of these episodes? 

Mona Lisa, Jr. still needs to work on herself. Don’t fire Kara yet!

According to the family tree below, it looks like Angie is Annie's aunt.

Thanks, that explains a lot. 

Interestingly enough, I found out Bubba, Jett’s husband has two brothers. One brother, Lushy, was engaged to Annie and another brother Doug was engaged to Kayla, another one of the Gypsy Sisters.  Not sure if any of the brothers got married or are still engaged.

What a small world!

Yeah they're all related.  That's why they're so inbred looking.  And have the same names.

That would work if it were real.  But everything on this show is staged.  The last few seasons NONE of the couples they showed getting married were actual couples, nor did they actually get married.

I felt  bad for Bridgette when she said the allegedly altered tuxedo fit. No, girl, it STILL did not fit. She looked like a little kid wearing her dad's suit. Every part of that suit did not fit. The shoulders were too big, the sleeves were way too long, the jacket was too baggy, the pants were too loose. Apparently no one at Sondra Celli's shop is capable of actually sewing. The only skill they have is gluing rhinestones to any surface.

Marrying a Gorger? HORRORS!, marrying someone who is the same sex? IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!, marrying when you're only 17? ok, have fun. WTF

I know, right?! Clearly these people have fucked up priorities.

I had some hope when Lexi's brother said that due to spending so much time with his gorger dad, he thought she was too young to be looking for a husband. I thought FINALLY someone with some common sense! But then it just turned into an excuse to have him start a fight at her party which was disappointing.

The money dress was the worst! the brides maids ones were pretty though!

  It shouldn't be the child's job to reunite mom & her family and @#$& her family for taking her marriage choice out on the kid!

I was with dad till, he totally gave a pass to that inappropriate dress wth the see through buster, make up & fake boobs on his 10yr old! Poor little Mary ,at least she got to change into normal clothes & have fun at her party.

[GaT]

Sorry, if you abandon your kid when she's 3 years old, then you don't get to tell her how to live when she's 18, though I do agree with the mom, the dress was horrible, & I think the bridesmaids thought so too. Where did all that money come from? Was it dollar bills? Loved the little girl who said she got some.

They must have.  And why did they keep saying she was 14 and she was supposed to meet her future husband  at her party? Omg I hate it when they try to make little girls grow up too fast-that goes for Dance Moms & Toddles  & Tiaras too! Nothing but underaged burlesque is all it is IMHO

All that mom's so called traditions and superstitions are BS. I think it was her wanting that poor little girl to be in 5in heels so she told her they would have 30 yrs bad luck if she falls over.  Was the little girl wearing a wig or does she just have an odd hairline? I think these made up things are a little much when they are so far fetched at that. 

Trouble did look pretty in her dress. I'm glad she changed it but hate the fake drama of getting there they had. It was stupid. She is obviously a smart girl if she is trying to continue her education and not be the total traditional gypsy so I couldn't see her forgetting the bike detail when she changed her dress.

OMG YES! What a hottie he was!

I know this stuff is all set up by TLC and have to believe that most of these "weddings" are phony—case in point, Ceara who "married" that guy with the fucked up teeth then, five minutes after this "wedding," ran away with her true love, her cousin. There was another wedding (sorry, I just watched four in a row!) where the entirety of the wedding food consisted of cake (that got thrown on the floor) and a bowl full of Cheetos along with attendees who looked like they weren't sure why they were there in the first place. 

 I had no idea this show was back on until today. Oh, how I missed it.
