I'd like to know what Anfisa is doing to get that Gucci purse.

She's in Manhattan where there are knock-off designer bag vendors on every corner! 

[Lily247]

I know this is off-topic, and I do think that Alexei came to the US because he loves Loren. But I will add this: it lists his hometown as Nazareth Illit, Israel. I live half hour away from this town and from my perspective it is one of the slummiest/poorest towns in Israel. 

 

I was also surprised that Anfisa behaved fairly classy while she was being attacked and didnt resort to yelling. Mohammed too : "Will you stop cursing, please."

Lol @ the clueless host asking Chantal about tretts since she's in nursing school, as if that makes her qualified. That topic may be gone over once and that's about it.

You mean they didn't cover "Tretts" in Terrible Diseases 101?

She's just as bad on the other TLC shows. As said here, she doesn't control the room. She also doesn't ask the pertinent questions when given the chance. 

It appears more likely she doesn't even KNOW the pertinent questions. I get a feeling that she didn't watch the show/series

Yes, Anfisa is pure, hard, cold ice; however I heard that its a cultural thing in Russia so I will give her a pass for that. Anfisa believes that because she is beautiful, she is entitled to a life of pampered luxury, and the competition in Russia between women is much worse than going over to the US (I believe due to there being an overage of women in Russia). She is also intelligent enough to understand that since her looks are the only value she is marketing, she has a very short shelf life - let's say til about 25 before her freshness will start to fade. Her honesty makes you respect her, but not much more than your typical escort girl. If she really is getting physically abusive with Jorge however that is a major problem and puts her in the "dangerous" category bc honestly you never know what she will do next.

I thught that Mohammed's responses to Loren's shrieking were pretty tame. I mean come on, Loren out of nowhere started shrieking at him in a very self-righteous, obnoxious way in order to make herself look good. I noticed Alexei seemed slightly embarrassed. 

Pao storming off the stage was so theatrical and "staged" and I think she has been watching too many telenovelas and thought it was "charming" or something. 

Honestly Pedro and Chantal appeared like the most normal couple on this tell-all because they didnt butt into the other couple's business; they just watched and listened. 

I think Anfisa is homely-I don't see beauty at all. I do think Chantal, Pao and Loren are beautiful women though. I don't like Anfisa getting physical with Jorge and I just can't get behind people marrying so someone can buy them things. I understand how her life might have been in Russia, but she could at least try to support herself here instead of sitting on her ass and complaining. I also feel uncomfortable with the constant digs on Danielle's looks-her personality yes. She is homely and fat-Mohammad knew all of that before he tried to romance her.

[Adeejay]

Mohamed is nothing but a self righteous, sanctimonious prick.

Anfisa and Pao need to take a good look in the mirror.  They are not as beautiful and sexy as they think they are. 

Alexei may come from the "slummiest/poorest town" in Israel, but he seemed happy there and wasn't exactly chomping at the bit to come to America; unlike gold digging Anfisa and Grifter, Mo.

Yes, Anfisa's looks may not be everyone's cup of tea and I think that in Russia she would be considered average. Without makeup and in regular blue jeans and a T shirt she wouldnt be someone youd look twice at, however she knows how to play up her looks as much aspossible, cosmetics, long styled hair, and a nice figure that she always shows off so I guess thats where shes coming from. 

[Chippings]

I have appreciated all the chat above - it's hard to figure out who's more deplorable and how that'll sort out in the future.

I wanted to mention one thing that Mohamed said that was sort of interesting and new to me --  He was asked why he got involved with Danielle to begin with, and he said he had been living away from his own country in another country (not specified where) for four years, and going every day from work to home, home to work, work to home &c - being very lonely.  And every day he could at least look forward to some pleasant conversation with an invisible person far away who expressed concern for him.  That was sort of sympathetic actually, and explained something about his state of mine at the time.  (Doesn't excuse a lot of behavior since, but at least.)  It reminded me of the stories of some of Dr Phil's older catfish people -- they were lonely, and at least there was some warmth & concern in their lives in the typing on the screen every day, from what turned out to be catfish - and in Mo's case, it was Danielle.   

I think it is true that she had gone overseas to meet him before he came here, so that reduces my sympathy for him.  But - it was interesting to add to the scenario.  

It looks as if there isn't just one more "Tell All" episode, but two more?  That's really wringing this thing dry.   They will probably hold off on Jorge's "big reveal" til the third one.  And make everybody cry by showing them, again, video of their worst moments with their spouses.    Good gravy, what marriage could survive a re-living, in public, of the worst things they've yelled at each other, ever?  Good luck with that.

Yes, the host is useless.  Her extended bug-eyed stare at one of the statements was specially lame.  

[Lily247]

May I also add that I was horrified (and not much shocks me) upon rewatching the clip of Paola's music video. The reggaeton rapper (who was a man) along with a couple other men (not women stylists) presented to her some skimpy lingerie to wear in the video like she is a thouhgtless piece of meat and when she was told to flop on the bed in front of all these men wearing a thong I was just cringing... I mean she must be SUPER comfortable in her skin. Also, that entire scene and the music video IMO were set up by production to create conflict. 

[Dobian]

I was watching this thing like a comedy.  The smiling host saying "Welcome back to Happily Ever After", followed by people tearing each other's throats out and storming off the set.  Can't wait for part two.  LOL.

[lovesnark]

Even though I can't stand Pao, I was glad she called Danielle out for stalking Mahammit all over the internet. When Danielle was blathering on and on and on about Mahammit postin and postin and postin, I wanted someone to point out to her that she was the one seeking out posts made by him. You know, if you don't look for them, you won't see them. It would have been wasted breath, though. In her mind, she's blameless in the mess. 

Anfisa's mouth looked less joker like. Maybe she's cut back on the fillers.

Did Chantel get a boob job? The dress she was wearing looked like it could barely contain them.

I found Loren and Paola to be super annoying in the tell all. Apparently they're good friends and they came off as a couple of mean girls, especially Loren. Calling Anfisa a bitch was over the line, yes, she's a terrible person, but she has never lied about who she is unlike Loren with her "tretts". Anfisa may be a good digger, but Loren doesn't even work, Alexei is the one working two jobs, so she has no room to judge her or act like she's above her. To me it just seemed like Loren is desperately trying to get in with her mean girls friend Pap by going after the other couples and I can't believe that the host didn't tell her to simmer down. She has a point about No and Danielle cheapening the k1 visa, but let's be real. none of these couples really knew each other, they were all vacation hook ups and we're in lust. So they need to stop acting like they are some epic love story. 

Paola needs to quit lying to herself about being a model. It's only a matter of time until she ends up doing porn, and there's nothing wrong with that if that's what she wants, but she needs to be honest with Russ and let him go. she's another liar who is clinging to that marriage so Russ can keep paying her nights out at the club.

Amen. Both of those girls have been documented ON FILM lying. ON FILM! The host should call them out on that but she is too weak. I wish that Jerry Springer would host the reunions - he knows how to dig up the dirt. Somewhat off topic I used to run into Jerry in Sarasota a lot. He is handsome and has beautiful manners and smells yummy.

That's because Pedro has no idea half the time what people are even saying and Chantal doesn't know how to have her own form of opinion if her parents aren't in her ear saying things.

 

It's great that Chantal is learning Pedro's language,(it'd be great if we saw the other couples making a real effort to learn their S/O native language as well)  but after what 3 years in America  he can still barely put together a sentence that is understandable?  It's seems like he doesn't make the same effort.

This made me laugh and laugh. I don't think you're too off the mark for saying this...I can totally imagine her saying this to one of her friends.

Pao is going to do whatever she wants. She only feels naseuos/physically sick because the TLC cameras were watching and she was doing something against her husband's wishes. How he was supposed to "defend" her during this tell-all when she was the one being defiant, I have no idea. Let her walk off set and the door. The modeling world awaits!

They should alternate, two English days followed by a Spanish day when they are at home.  That way they both get progressively better.

No, it's not a cultural thing. Russians are very warm. But, they only smile genuinely.  You don't see people smiling when walking down the street. 

At Anfisa's age there is no shortage of men.

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see the big deal that Pao was trying to make re Mo & Danielle not having romantic feelings for each other initially.  The way I understood Mo is that he was living and working away from home, basically doing nothing but working and was lonely. Talking to Danielle online gave him something to look forward to and he slowly began to develop feelings for her. That's so terrible??  To me, that's how a good relationship starts, getting to know someone else as a person and friend and let the romance feelings develop from there. I'm not a spicy Latina though so maybe I'm wrong. 

To spicy Latina Pao, who no man can resist owing to her natural inborn hot Latin sexiness, it is inconceivable that anyone can ever enter into a relationship with another person unless they have untameable, unquenchable sexy spicy physical attraction. Conversation? Common interests? Caring and concern? Bah! Its all about the booty!!

Did notice Pao's Louboutin shoes - not even the 'basic' ones for under $1000. Those were in the four figure range as part of the 'fashion' line. Maybe she got some money from the video but really, you can find ones on sale sometimes for less than half-price.

 

I will bet a shiny quarter that they are either knockoffs or that she got them on final clearance. they may have been Louboutins but they were pretty ugly.

I was appalled at the way they treated the possibility of Loren's child having Tourette's. For goodness sake, it's not cancer. So, you have a special needs child. Guess what? Your life will not end. The child will have many strengths as well as the challenges brought on by the disability, IF he/she inherits it. I thought Chantal's response was horrid. She's a nurse! It's not a disease! Holy crap, let's make Loren feel worse than she already does. Different doesn't mean less or bad. I thought that whole conversation was awful. I don't think Chantal has taken her class on bedside manners yet. Paola was the one who had the nicest things to say. 

Chantel's lack of tact did not surprise me in the least. She was raised by her appallingly rude parents to be a rude woman. I shudder to  think what will happen if Chantel and Pedro's future child ends up needing glasses, or has a cleft lip, or is diabetic or has webbed toes or hearing loss. She will surely blame Pedro, have a breakdown and make it all about her.

Exactly.  And when I heard Anfisa say she was prepared to stay with Jorge, and have his children, and love him as long as he was really able to provide a good life, I thought that was reasonable and not evil at all.  She could do all that and develop a true (at least) fondness for him.  I could have worked.  

I agree 100%. Anfisa was always completely upfront about what she wanted and what she was prepared to do in return. I am completely Team Anfisa at this point. Jorge is acting like a petulant sulky child with a heaping scoop of PUA/MRA added. He is out for blood and will say anything to hurt her.

a. To echo another poster, people get married for all sorts of different reasons all the time. And the US government has determined that US citizens, provided they spend enough $$ and jump through enough hoops, area entitled to jump into marriage with a foreign national regardless of their reasons. 

b. I have no pity or sympathy for Jorge or Danielle, both of these turd blossoms knew or should have had the good sense to know they were trying to punch above their weight. Both Jorge and Danielle lied about significant details about their lives and financial situations. As it has been said before, Mohammad and Anfisa were pretty honest and up front the whole time. That wins in my book. Especially, when you consider the Jorge and Danielle act like they should be worshiped and gloried for saving M and A from their horrible countries. I think I rather live in in Russia than with that nasty slob who has no money, no credit and no grasp of the truth and a felony record. Add to that J and D 's combined sense of entitlement, victimhoood, and raw desire for vengeance is just gross and embarrassing to watch. Neither of those two slobs will accept any responsibility for  their role in creating their own private shit shows. 

c. Loren can just shut with her fucking sanctimony about Mohammad and Anfisa. Why not yell at the 50% of people who end up getting divorced for making marriage look bad or for lessening its value because it's so easy to run for the hills. And it's not like her hands are clean. She lied to Alexei about strippers and her father, deliberately or not, gave misleading information about her condition to Alexei and his parents. They are entitled to be perturbed for an episode or two. Tourette's can either be a mild condition or a much more serious one. With that said,. I am so tired of Loren's manipulative water works. She sure has figured out that if you sob loud enough, you can drowned out the other person's needs and save yourself the trouble of dealing with their problems so it can be all about you all the time. And finally, we don't know all of Alexei's motives for coming to America. Sure he loves Loren, but maybe the lure of the green card was a nice extra, too. He is just smart enough to keep his head down and his mouth shut. And Loren can just shut it with "Anfisa, why don't you have a job?" How long has that  pretty, pretty princess been sitting on her ass because she can't find a job worthy of talents and aspirations? Bitch can't even cook a meal or two for her husband?  She can't take a little time to learn a few words of Russian or Hebrew to talk to her mil? 

d. No way is Chantal studying to be a nurse. She is just going through the motions of taking some nursing classes. What a nasty, ignorant  sack of unsympathetic shit she is. She really thinks she is a fine human specimen who is above all fault or weakness. 

e. I can't even with Pao and Russ. They are just the perfect mismatch headed down a long path of misery because neither of them will admit they each made a mistake. 

@Chickabiddy I heartily cosign every word of this post.

I simply don't understand what Pao thinks her future holds. She's 30 now. What kind of modeling career does she expect to have? And if she really leaves her husband to do porn, well, I can't even with her. Her porn "career" is likely to be short, and low rent.

Hahaha. I am quite impressed by Chantal's grasp of the Spanish language especially since it seems she had started from zero and now she is quite fluent without having lived there. Pedro's English is not great but I remember when we met him the previous season he literally spoke no English at all... and now he is putting sentences together.... he's like at a 3 year old level now ... not bad. But he def needs to practice more and take classes.

Switching gears, if you were in the hospital, who would you NOT want to have as your nurse, Chantel (AKA Nurse Ratchet) or Danielle? 

I think I saw a butterfly at the very top...the rest is anyone's guess.

 

I think I would rather have Chantel over Danielle. With Danielle, I could picture doing whatever I needed myself, while she sat and whined how hard she's had to work since Mahammit frauded her.

So if Pao is really sincere about making it..she should also be working as a waitress or something to off set the bills/make contacts like they do in LA.  She wants to land a richer dude.period

I have  bunch of Louboutins (never pay full price) and hers are super ugly...probably fake, and were for sure bought for the show, since when you walk on them, the red rubs away from the sole.

I think Anfisa was wearing a pair, but the toe box was worn away like it should be.  You can buy paint to touch up the bottoms, but why bother...no way to keep them red unless you add red shoe pads...yes they make them...I was fearful that Pao was going to flip over backwards with the thirsty way she was kicking her feet to show her soles...jesus

Oh and Danielle is super giddy, so I think she will announce the annulment is back on or something....jesus christ

I sort of like Loren, and was surprised that she is close with Pao....Pao is DEF. giving this visa thing a bad name

I think you are reading quite a lot into a haircut.  I also think Russ is smart enough to know that there are a lot of conservative women in the USA- particularly in Oklahoma.  I mean- wasn't he clubbing with her in Columbia?  He knew she wasn't a nun.  But, Russ also knew that whatever girl he found here probably wouldn't be as "hot."  Superficial?  Yes?  Sinister?  I don't think so.

In Chantal's defense, Tourette's would probably not be covered in great detail in general nursing.  Nurses who specialize in psychiatry would have greater knowledge and training in this disorder.  Tourette's, in most cases, is diagnosed and treated by psychiatrists.

Pedro is not that bright.  He's been here the years, he's around other people at work, he should be picking up more English even without trying.

Chantal Needs a boob job. A boob reduction, that is. She is always flaunting her big long cleavage, which I find gross. A bit at the top is fine. Do guys really appreciate that look?

There's a whole fan club out there for long, natural mammaries!

Can you imagine if Chantel and Pedro ever have a child born with a terrible disease like Stupid Parents Syndrome?

 Don't worry- FatherChantel said it's not hereditary.

Newbie and Attempting to reply to a post upwards still unsure of quoting. I  PM with Mohammed at the very beginning of him and Danielle on the air. I believe he worked in Qatar handling the mail. My husband was deplored thete so it could have been for the military but I don't know.

I don't know. I picked up Spanish from my husband's family almost by osmosis..I kind of just soaked it in by being around them a lot.   I do think some people are just lucky and can pick up another language easier. I was only 16 when we met though. Plus I just basically "jumped in" and spoke it even though I knew it wasn't grammatically correct. Maybe Pedro is shy and afraid to say something wrong?

I've noticed the older I get, it's harder to pick up new words.

   It also makes a difference if Pedro works and shops etc. where other people speak Spanish, and he doesn't really have to try (although he should.)

  My husband picked up English way faster than his brothers, because he lived with an English speaking wife, and he had to speak English at work.This plus all the English speaking TV shows I subjected him to: I'm not on P.TV for nothing ;-)

His brothers married  Spanish speaking wives, and lived in the city where they could do everything in Spanish all the time. I dragged my husband to the English speaking suburbs..for him it was sink or swim ;-)

So, by Chantal picking up Spanish and switching to it with him when he doesn't understand something, I think it slows him learning English. (sorry so long, got carried away)  Btw, YES I think everyone who comes here needs to learn English. I'm just saying why it's not as easy for some. :)

PS my husband can now beat me in Scrabble, and that's no mean feat :-D

Hello and welcome! I think you were replying to my question about where Mohammed was when he first started communicating with Danielle. Would that mean Danielle traveled to Qatar to meet him in person? I can't imagine her going anywhere exotic like that, shockingly different from Sandusky!

If not Tunisia I would think Qatar. I need to read more on posting.

Danielle would have been obviously out of place in either Tunisia or Qatar, much like  Nicole's cringe-worthy trip last season when she went to visit Azan in Morocco.

I think it would have more to do with the endless amount of Mo crying all over the internet than the actual touching. People have sued other people for less in my part of the world...

I caught the comment too when Alexi said to Lauren not to touch Mo. Maybe because he was worried Mo would cry foul ?
