This episode has not aired yet here on the left coast, but I am dreading watching Danielle say for the thousandth time, "So I am going to Court to tell the Judge what Mohammed has done.."    Can they milk this out past this episode?  My guess is, reluctantly, yes they can.   I saw a moment ago from 'Kid', that they are headin' to court ..  please let them actually get there.   I swear they've been in the parking lot of the *#@ courthouse for three weeks now ..     

IMO, Danielle is dressing for Mo, not court. She can't get it through her thick skull that he's not attracted to her, doesn't want to boink her again, and doesn't want to be a step-father to girls just a few years younger than him. If he asked for another chance, she'd be all over him.

Chantel will always come 3rd. If she was smart, she would cut her losses now before they have kids or buy a home together. 

I think the only chance those two have is if they tell both families to butt out. And I don't see that happening. I was originally siding with Pedro but the entitlement that wafts off his sister and mother was too much for me.

 

is tonite the finale? if not, how many more episodes?

Russ packs up and moves to Miami to be with his sexy wife. She then couldn't get out of Miami fast enough! 

She's going to dump his boring, controlling, broke ass. He shouldn't be surprised when it happens.

Let me see if I have this right. If it was not for her husband, Pao would have no problem with that little outfit or the fact that the only thing that's going to be in the video is her butt.  Do I have that right?

Yes and yes. She doesn't mind being objectified for some soft porn music vid.

So i went and looked this dude up. He has 35 followers on twitter. I have more than him! And I am a nobody! Wow. Where did they dig him up? 

King Heric. Meh. Because no one with a real music reputation would accept the small fee TLC is offering to be part of this scripted nonsense to  promote Pao's phony "career".

Chantel needs to ditch those phony eyelashes, they're annoying.

Divorce may have been the furthest thing from Danielle's mind but as soon as I saw those two together, I knew it wasn't going to last.

Pao is so childish, making such a big thing about getting permission from Russ. It's a sexy video, she knew that going in. Either do it or don't.

I'm lmao at Pao talking about how professional she is and the shoot is after she spent all that time telling everyone on the crew her husband would have an issue with it. I'm sure that's exactly how Gisele Bundchen handles photo shoots...

I feel like this makes me a bad  human being but I can't work up any interest in Loren's storyline.

Chantal and Pedro are not in love, they are in lust. Like others have said, they should really just cut their losses and divorce. If they are having this many problems now, so early in their marriage, it will just get worse.

From personal experience, you're exactly right. I remember crying on my honeymoon as the first night. I called one of my close friends telling her a made a huge mistake and wanted an annulment (totally a Danielle moment lol). She talked me out of it, convincing me that I just had to adjust to marriage. It'll be 21 years coming up soon and regret daily that I didn't listen to my gut way back then. 

Chantel has this window of opportunity that she should take advantage of before it gets too messy. But those who are in 'lust' rarely take it.

I have news for family Pedro, and family Chantel.  This is not a wedding. It's a dress up party. And speaking of dress up, didn't we hear sister Pedro say she was wearing her "best" dress. Ha ha!

That sounds about right... though I haven't watched the video linked earlier. 

Honestly though, there was little difference between the ass swimming suit from 2 weeks ago and the ass lingerie from tonight's episode.

I think Paola sucks, but until she's actually having sex in exchange for "modeling" jobs, or goes bottomless, we've got nothing. It's not like she was dressing like a Duggar before all of this.

I'm more annoyed by the fact that she claimed she needed to be in Miami for her career, told her husband they wouldn't make it if he didn't move to Miami... only for him to comply and find out her career was a sham and her agent wasn't even returning her calls.

Remember when schools taught gerunds, and infinitives, and the difference in lie and lay? Back in the good old days, people who learned Engligh as a second language were often better than native speakers, but Wow! Just Wow! 

Tourettes bores me. I'm putting it in the same category as chronic constipation.

Loren and Alexei are going to make it in the long run.  You can just tell that they are crazy about each other.  Sure, they have problems.  All married couples do.  That surprise may have been the nicest thing I've ever seen on this show.

When the video guy was talking about getting Pow for the shoot, I know he said "asset" but I heard, "she would definitely be an ass for this video."

@AmyB we were talking about the video over on the social media thread last week. Good stuff. There is a link there, too.

A real skank.  Nasty.  I used to be Pro-Pao, but not anymore.  I think she is playing Russ, using Russ, and not being very nice at all to Russ.  He's not my cup of tea, but damn, he deserves better.

Well that looks professional...throwing up and being all "my husband, my husband, my husband." I'm sure they don't want to hear it.  I would never book her again.  I agree that she was way more covered up in that outfit than the bad club wear.  It almost looked tasteful by comparison.

Loren and Alex cute but totally FFWD...

I thought Daniel's gettin' ready for court bit with the sensible shoes was a sad little montage...

No -- I shudder.  Another week? possibly two?  Before actual court?  I'll know in a few hours, I guess.      Such a trainwreck this all is --  I trust we're all suitably embarrassed that we're giving these people our time and energy.   I should spend the evening reading 'War and Peace' or applying to go to medical school.  Sigh.

I was immediately grossed out by the shoes on the bed.

Unpopular opinion:  This is the first time I really liked Loren and Alexei.  Their interaction and her genuine excitement for seeing him, and his genuine pride and pleasure and seeing her represent for herself were lovely.  

Pao.  Wow.  Seriously.  Either pony up and stick your ass out or don't.  Camera drama and telling any fool who will listen is a true lack of professionalism.  "My husband" and "My husband".  Sweetie, no one gives a shit.  You are there for one thing and one thing only:  Put on the cheap lingerie and shhhh.  BTW, this video seems mad sketchy and low rent. 

I got really angry watching Pedro's dead eye stare while his family torn down his (idiot of a) wife.  Chantel.  Honey.  You are always going to be the bottom of the list.  Pedro didn't say 2 words to his family and didn't say 2 words when his bitch of a sister gave her fake ass apology.  Culture culture culture, bullshit.  His mom straight up said it is okay Chantel is at the bottom of the barrel so they can be  higher up, and said that was their culture?  Cmon, man.  Respecting your mother is culture.  Taking care of your mother is culture.  Treating your wife as less than?  That isn't culture.  That's Pedro's mama playing up on his macho bullshit to use to her advantage.  Pedro just takes it and clearly blames Chantel.  His turn of phase around "Chantel fights with my family and her family fights with me" was IMO very telling that he doesn't think him and his weird family are really at fault.   But, Pedro has the audacity to talk big about their "stupid" families.  Seriously.  

I couldn't be more excited to take a break from Jorge and Anfisa.  Like.  A breathe of golddigger-less, bitchass-less fresh air.

Mo and Danielle.  There is so much wrong here.  He's an idiot with his recording and wearing JEANS to court, and she and Jabba the Roseccea (TM someone infinitely more clever than I) sitting in the car talking about making sure she gets him deported were so stupid.  Can these two be over?  Please.  Toxic assholes.

Loren and Alexei seem to be the only legitimate relationship. Alexei did not seem to necessarily want to come the US until he met Loren. It doesn't seem like he was using her to get a green card like the other foreigners who sought to come over. He was very conflicted leaving his family in Israel, and if he had not met Loren, it seems he would have been very happy staying there.

As for Danielle and Mohammed, he was definitely scamming her from the beginning just to come over and get a green card.  He knew she was an easy target and could be easily fooled. When he arrived in the US, he did seem genuinely happy to be here, but not because of Danielle, but for the opportunity to be here. He is an opportunist and a user.  It's true, Danielle made some bad decisions and fell for his bull, but she seems a bit naive and appears to have had several disadvantages in her life that made her vulnerable. Mohammed should go back to his country.  It's obvious that he did not have good intentions to be in a legitimate relationship with Danielle, and does not seem to have much to contribute to this country.

At least no Jorge and Anfisa tonight! 

It occurred to me after watching the rehash and re-rehash of Chanel's argument with Mama and Sister Pedro...Sister said "punto" which Chantel misheard as "puta" so she went ballistic and said to the camera, "Did she just call me a (bleeping) BITCH?" No, technically she NEVER used the Spanish word for "bitch", Chantel misheard the word for WHORE! No wonder Mama and Sister were confused and Mama even honestly said, "I never heard her use that word."

Mother and Sister Pedro are annoying, but Chantel doesn't help by getting mad over everything. If you want to make peace, you try to find common ground, and you swallow a little pride.

If she told them in a sincere and calm way that she loves Pedro and wants them all to be a family and get along, that would go a long way to diffuse things. Yes, I know they are obnoxious, but they are what she got for inlaws, so may as well try to make it work.

1)  Oh!  Thank you!  It didn't flag as misspelled.  Totally my bad.

2) 100% agree.  Chantel, however, lacks the maturity and foresight to understand that you have to give to get sometimes, especially as it relates to family.  Personally, I have a fairly mean and terrible mother in law.  She's cruel to her son (my husband) and to me.  I'm not going to fight that with more ugly.  I don't want to put my husband in a more difficult position, and I'm not going to win a war with someone like her.   I have expressed that I love her son and we have made a good life together.  She isn't a part of my marriage b/c we have boundaries.  Additionally, I think that Pedro has to do the same with Family Chantel too.  And both need to create some significant boundaries and "rules of engagement" in how we are going to talk to and about each other.   Neither seem to be willing to stand up and back away from emotional responses, though.

I would be shocked if these are still together a year from now. Aside from the language barrier (which is considerable,**) Pedro and Chantel just do not communicate well at all. A lot of the drama could be resolved if they sat down with a counselor and/or translator and had an honest and candid conversation about their income, how much they planned to contribute to household expenses, and what role their parents will play in their lives.

** = I know Chantel said she met Pedro while she was in the Dominican Republic to practice her Spanish, but I speak elementary Spanish better than she does, and I am NOWHERE near being fluent. And while Pedro's English has improved considerably since the first season, it's going to be a long time before he's anywhere near fluent. Maybe I'm just projecting, but I can't imagine what it would be like to be in that situation and to be unable to have a discussion with my significant other about life, family, or politics, in a meaningful way.
