Season 2 Discussion

[Granny58]

OMG really Family Chantel?  You treat Pedro like dirt from day 1, you don't bother to get out of the van at his grandma's house (dick move by the way) and then, when he won't speak with you, you think he's scared?????  I think he's just trying not to beat you to a pulp. .  

[Ellie Godfrey]

Family Chantel is whacked. Her mom needs to lose those stupid little hats. I think River is jealous of Pedro and is stirring the shit by throwing around conspiracy theories which the parents eat up.

[VioletNevermind]

Okay, I'm going to need Danielle to stop using her (HALF-GROWN) kids as emotional pawns in this clusterfuck.  She's acting like she was some downtrodden single mom with toddlers who got played by a con man.  She still got played, but her girls are in their late teens and her son is an adult.  Her kids don't care one bit about Mohamed and would probably rather they had never been pulled into this mess in the first place.  I guarantee you that her mental capacity, or lack thereof, has been discussed behind closed doors among those kids more than once.

Paola needs to take Russ's feelings into consideration. He's worried about her safety.

They are an embarrassment. I'm not sure which angers me more - their cultural ignorance, their ugly snotty arrogance, or their blatant rudeness,

Danielle is the typical single mom that uses her children's feelings when convenient, but actually puts herself BEFORE her kids. They'll throw their kids under the bus for some scumbag, but when it suits them, they'll take on the role of a martyr. Danielle's kids made it clear they didn't want Mo around. She didn't give a flying @&$! for all this time that her kids took a back seat to HER wants and desires. But now that she wants to enact revenge, suddenly her kids feelings are considered? Nah, you're a phony just like Tom and Mo. The girls would do well to put distance between them and Danielle. She will only drag them down.

[Chromegirl83]

But Pedro's family is living better then Chantel and himself so y would they not question his motives

While I disagree with the typical single mom statement, it's not typical. I do agree that is what she is doing. On the other hand he's a pice of sh$@ also and deserves what's coming to him

Well that agent realizes she fed up with the publicity from this show and is now pushing to hard to make up for it wow

[Brooklynista]

Did Pao's manager take her to a hooker open house? That's what this party is right? A casting call for hookers?

[VioletNevermind]

Yes, Danielle, awesome decision, to call your estranged husband the night before your divorce trial to make sure that he won't "act up" during the hearing.  My God.   I don't often say that "I can't," but I truly can't.  ?

I'm not saying he's right, but Pedro is doing what sons are expected to do. He and Chantel should have had a serious talk about financial expectations.

I think I phrased it wrong. I was a single mom with my first child and most mom's (single or married) put their children first.  What I meant is her behavior is typical of the type of single mom that puts a man before her kids. Not that, that is typical of single moms in general. I hope that makes sense! 

[poeticlicensed]

Danielle is full on obsessed. She craves any attention from Mo, even negative attention. 

Just because Chantal can't control her family doesn't make it the event planner's problem. Chantal needs to control her family. 

[Dashing Off]

Are we sure Danielle isn't developmentally delayed?

[Suzywriter]

Anfisa is long past 20. She may be older than Jorge.

I feel like you shouldn't need an expensive gift to "break the ice" with your significant other.  I'm not in a relationship right now so what do I know. Georgy's wise black friend isn't much help.

I still think Paola's an idiot for dragging him to Miami, where there's not a lot of oil/petroleum jobs - that's like moving to Amish country to be a Java programmer.

She's going to dump his deadweight corn pone Jethro Bodine ass for the sake of "her career" which so far looks like a low-rent call girl.

[Kid]

Chantel just needs to dump him and move on.  Leave him there and go home.

[Dashing Off]

Pedro and Chantel's families are both disrespectful. If they don't care about her culture, why should she care about there's? Not that Chantel made anything better. She just made it worse. But Pedro's family didn't even try to listen. Honestly, both are toxic.

[poeticlicensed]

 So Pao had to move to Miami so she could take a job in New Jersey?

The smugness kills me. Both families need to stay out of the marriage. But the way Pedro's family acts makes me feel stabby and they're not even my inlaws.

Makes sense. And I thought your first post  was very clear.   Which is why I commented well said.  You are not commenting on all single moms - you were commenting on a type a single mom. And you  were spot on with regard to her behavior. She used money to bring him to the United States and her kids did without.  Yet she sits there and says that she has to do this because he hurt her kids too.

What an excellent point.  I used to like Pao, but she's testing that at every turn this season.  Russ is a bit of a weenie, but I still feel sorry for him.  

[poeticlicensed]

Family Pedro knows that it doesn't matter what Chantal says, Pedro will send money. They are all awful. 

I'm getting really tired of the Russ and Pao, I don't want men looking at my hot wife storyline. It's getting tiresome. 

The resort is beautiful but of course they can't even appreciate it because family Chantal and family Pedro are too busy showing they asses.

That's very reasonable lol.  Expensive jewelry is too much though. And his friend is egging him on, while Jorge is still in debt. Stockholm syndrome is a hell of a thing.

And now her son had a record because she wouldn't stand by him when he was standing up for HER. They're all losers. But Danielle is the biggest one of all.

I can't stand Pao. When she talks all I hear is " Blahblah sexy blah blah sexy photos blah blah in Columbia . Blah blah opportunity blah me me me. What a phony bitch she is.

I think you're right. Danielle is seriously immature, delusional, and unstable. 

It's hard to watch Danielle.  She has some kind of disability and keeping her on the air is abusive.  My husband and I used to make fun of her, but it's out of hand.  Danielle needs help,  maybe a guardian. I wish her older son or sister could step in and take charge, but they seem to want tv time.

At least it is from a consignment shop. 

[Caseysgirl]

I think that Pao should be careful about accepting jobs from "music video producers" who contact her on line for jobs. The recent kidnap & drugging of a model to be sold as a sex slave is just one example of the dangers of making yourself accessible for so called "modeling" jobs.  I think her husband was right to be skeptical.  Of course, going with a TLC crew with you might help prevent any problems but with you aren't being filmed I would err on the side of caution.

[greekmom]

Anfisa - Jorge was the first man she's been with? Did anyone notice those, she didn't specifically say she was a virgin but that Jorge was the first man. So maybe she's bi?? I just don't believe her anyway/

Danielle stupidity is the gift that keeps on giving. Like the energizer bunny.

I thought it was big of Chantel to apologize but having Mother & sister Pedro cackling really pissed me off. They are just all stupid. 

Pao i just don't care. 

[itsadryheat]

Best ShitShow on tv! I want to see a hookup with River and Pedros alleged sister.

[90dayFan]

the lack of loren and Alexi was nice tonight - proves they bring nothing to this show. they're so boring.

also - am I the only one who doesn't think Pedro's sister is his wife/gf? She looks ALOT like him...

I don't think Danielle is dumb or disabled, I think she's completely devoid of common sense. And dysfunctional. Every now and then she says or does something that shows she has a measure of smarts, and she was able to navigate the fiance visa process. She's needy and very emotional. Plus her kids seem to have turned out pretty normal and nice. The girls, anyway.

I am a special ed teacher and work with giving assessment tests and in one of those tests is an IQ test.  70 is the borderline for Developmentally Delayed.  Danielle does not strike me as under 70 for an IQ but she does strike me as someone in her 80's in terms of IQ.   Lower end, for sure but she can still drive (as evidenced in the show, driving all over the damn southeast in search of Mo) and live her life although it may be a bit limited.  She very much strikes me as someone who is has arrested development around age 13 or 14 in terms of romantic love or what she perceives it to be.  She is alarmingly needy and overemotional about things in that arena.

[greekmom]

I forgot to add that the scene between Mo and Walmart Tom looked so pathetic almost between a girl and a guy who might possibly be torn apart. I seriously thought he was going to ask Mo to blow him or vis versa.
