Season 2 Discussion

[Pachengala]

I thought Mahamit acquitted himself as well as he could, mostly staying quiet and then wishing Danielle well, however passive-aggressively. He's clearly over it, looking to fulfill his contractual obligations to the show, then slinking on with his life. Loren is a total asshole.

I agree with Loren about being an total asshole, she needs to shut her mouth 

[Deafening Roar]

I truly believe Mohamed is 100% over and out as far as the whole Danielle debacle goes. He has nothing bad to say, as a matter of fact, he barely had anything at all to say unless asked. He wished her well and is ready to move on and put the whole mess behind him. I'm absolutely not and will never be on Mohamed's side but he showed that he's definitely checked out on the whole sidduation (as he calls it lol)

Danielle, on the other hand, sweetie, you are not a martyr, you don't have any business whatsoever warning any women about Mohamed and what he will potentially do to them. It's not your business anymore. In the words of Elsa and Anna, let it gooooooooooo girl and move on with your life. He didn't want you to start with and he will never want you. He used you but it is what it is. Cut your losses and stop trying to get money and deportation. Karma will get him eventually.

I think Chantel passed on her clenched jaw to Jorge.  He's doing really weird things with his mouth.

Both Mo and Danielle need to own their own crap. Danielle, Mo may or may not use other women now that he has what he wants - the ability to stay in the US.  Sure, he may find other women who are dumb as a box of hair, but that is on him and the other women. They can easily Google him and find the TLC show he was on. Spend less time on revenge and move forward with your own life. He's not worth it.

[DVDFreaker]

Danielle is way too obsessed about exporting him back to his home and I doubt any text messages in a book is going to convince the judge that Mohammed should be sent back, she needs to get over it and she is just wasting her time for nothing and I feel sorry for her new boyfriend

Hello and welcome to 90 Day Fiance: Crappily Ever After.  Today's word is "stigma", brought to you by Loren.

I didn't think my opinion of Jorge could get any worse.  He proved me wrong tonight.

A clenched jaw is a side effect of some psych medications.  Also a side-effect of anger, frustration, uptightedness.  

Chantal, Pedro and Alexei are the only ones not making fools of themselves during the tell-all.

Mohammed is giving me Andrew Cunanan vibes.  that being said, I wish him well.  He definitely gamed the system to get into the US but if he's gainfully employed and getting on with his life, lets just let him go.  Danielle is sad - and at this point, being exploited by TLC.

Why doesn't the host ask Pao why she doesn't get some other type of job?  Restaurant hostess, behind the cosmetics counter of the drugstore........you won't ever have a CAREER as a model.  Time to do something that will contribute to the household income without antagonizing your husband.  At this point, you are just taunting him.  But - as you and Loren have proven tonight, you love the drama.  And if drama doesn't exist, you create it.  

No one knows I watch this show.  It is my shameful secret.

Put some glasses on him, and he has an easy gig in the Lifetime Movie Channel biopic of Versace.   Excellent observation!

And same.. Total same.  My friends seem to think I don't watch ANY television, but they will never know the trashy shit I watch thanks to TLC :)

I keep wondering out loud (to myself and my dog), why can't Danielle just move TF on and go live life? But then I remember, Mo *IS* her life, everything about him *IS* her life.  Also... the TLC paychecks are her life.  As soon as she checks out of her Mo investment, then there's no storyline, and TLC has no need for her.  (WHICH IS TOTALLY FINE BY ME, IN CASE YOU'RE ASKING AROUND, TLC PRODUCER PEOPLE)

I've never watched the Honey Boo Boo franchise, but I will cosign the crap out of a HBB/Danielle mashup.  

[Grumpy Lobster]

I am not sure what Paolo means by Russian Gold Digger Academy. Is that a real educational establishment with diplomas & degrees? Because I have never heard of it before. there are in fact trainings & workshops that you might call gold-digging courses. It is mostly a scam. you pay lots of money to sit in a room with other idiotic women and some "successful" lady of dubious past & presents that usually presents herself as a wife of a very very very rich man sells you a crappy story of how you too can wake up a princess next morning. 

Anyhow, Paolo must be jealous, because so far whatever education she got back home only scored her some cheap ass music videos, a matress commercial and an opportunity to be a discounted escort in Miami. 

Alexei is not Russian. He is Ukranian. He speaks a mix of Russian & Ukranian with his family. They all have quite a strong Ukranian accent. However, our cultures are very similar, and something tells me Mrs Tretts will be dumped in a couple of years because you can't slap a woman in the US to make her shut up  & stop embarassing you without getting in trouble with law enforcement agencies.

Loren & Paolo. That Heathers act is so 80's. It is Twenty-Seventeen, why don't you girls get a job?

My sister is terminally ill with a rare form of cancer.  Since diagnosis she has survived 11 years.  She will never be cured but she will hang on as long as she can.  My point being that she was in one of the best hospitals in the country having a surgery that was a complete disaster.  Once back in a regular room one of the nurses comment to the other "oh, she has cancer all over".   Believe me I was on the phone to the head of nursing within minutes.  The head of nursing wanted to speak to my sister and I didn't want to have her repeat those words that nurse said so I let it go.  What is wrong with these people, certainly they must have a class or classes on how to handle patients and keep them motivated!  I'm sorry maybe all Chantel's brains are in her boobs, ODIOT!

Like it or not, gallows humor is a fact of life in the medical profession, among doctors, nurses and the rest. For example, fat people have biscuit-toxicity.  The more serious the field, the darker the humor.  Of course, patients and their families should not hear the jokes, but they are common.  Such humor is accepted because it allows these professionals to cope with the realities of the situation.

I must have missed something but where is the "gallows humor" in that story?  It sounds like the nurse made a comment about the patient's health within earshot of the family/patient, not an attempt at humor.  Gallows humor happens everywhere yes.  But gallows humor isn't acceptable in front of patients or their loved ones.   Professionals know this.

Personally I no not think Anfisa has a beautiful, pretty or even cute face.  Plus she needs work on her adenoids to improve that nasal sounding voice.  It's all about her booty.  I actually think Jorge is nice looking if he could loose some weight he would be handsome.

I agree about Jorge.  If she thought he was rich, I could see her actually falling in love with him. I say this after traveling to Russia and seeing what she'd have to compare him too.  A lot of the men there are very burly.

[poeticlicensed]

I swear I read somewhere that Danielle signed on to one of those cheesy makeover shows. If that's true, maybe she figures she needs to keep the drama going to continue with the reality TV payday. But otoh, she seems totally obsessed with slimy Mo. She wants her money back and an apology and for him to be deported. Since none of that is going to happen, it's unhealthy for her to keep stalking him. We got to see the notebook y'all! So it's full of texts to other women and she wanted to present it in court? Oh my I'm sure the judge shut that down. But I also don't believe Mo for one second that he wants to disappear . This from the man who brings a selfie stick into a courthouse so he can broadcast live his hearing to his "followers". He will continue to be all over socchul meedya looking for women to exploit and playing the victim. He loves those reality show paychecks as much as Dani does. He's an Uber driver ferfuckssakes.

Bless Danielle's heart.  I'm serious.  This pathetic 40-something woman keeps a binder of print-outs of her ex-husband's text messages to other women and plans to send it to Immigration in the hopes that they'll deport him.  I haven't felt so sad for someone in a long time.  I really don't give a shit what happens to Mohamed at this point.  He'll continue to collect his TLC checks, run his mouth, and work/grift his way through a succession of weak-willed women.  He'll be just fine.  Danielle, however, does not seem to have the ability to stop herself from keeping this ball rolling with him, especially on soshul meedya.  She clearly has no desire to pick up the pieces and create some semblance of a normal adult life, whether it involves a man (please, God, no) or not.  I don't think she can at this point.  I say yet again that someone should have control over her affairs because I don't think she's capable of doing it herself.  Unfortunately, women like Danielle are ripe for the picking for men like Mohamed.  The only good thing about her situation is that her kids are pretty much grown, so they're no longer directly affected by their mother's extraordinarily poor choices on just about every level

She is pathetic.  I have zero sympathy for her or any other American that goes overseas, brings home someone they don't know to marry them, and gets scammed.  Danielle could find herself a relationship in this country; she just can't get the handsome American that she lusts over and can control through threats of deportation.

Except for the couples that seemingly met each other while on vacation, the couples they show are all the same.  Dumpy American brings home lithe foreigner who is out of their league otherwise.  Paws all over them. Controls them through threat of not marrying them, divorcing them, or turning them into immigration when they discover they can't control them anymore.  

And then there is the ridiculous amounts of money spent for this control.  Money that should be going towards bettering their own lives, their children's lives.

 I thought I was quoting a post but it's not here. Anyway I agree with most of what you are saying- primarily that the host is lousy. With all these people striving to be on tv how they find such lukewarm unsharp people is beyond me.

I happen to wish that  Mahommit gets deported . He is a horrible person and ABSOLUTELY yes an Andrew Cunaanan vibe (or someone else NOT nice). Deport him.

Danielle, as I have said from way back, is truly challenged mentally. I really think that and wish someone would just shoo her off this program and let her go back to her life. 

The area where I disagree with most of you is that I thought (other than the talking over people) that Loren was great. I thought she was rightly calling out the ones who really went into this for a fake purpose.  I didn't quite get the Pao  Loren bond , but I did think Loren was right on. ( have to admit I though Pao's question to Anfisa about the golddigger academy was a bizarre and I actually thought Anfisa's reaction to it was pretty sharp).

Agreed. She's looking to legitimize her need to keep Mo in her life. If he paid her back, she'd find another reason to hyper-focus on him...he needs to wash the dirty dishes he left behind, give back the toe nail clippers he took, anything.

[fountain]

Some of Loren's going on with Mo was annoying to listen to. But I did feel he acted a  jerk a bit with comments like "calm down" as I think that is beyond rude and is something men say to women to put them in their place.  The rest of Loren's questions seemed fine.

Pao was so mean to Russ when she said he needed to tougher, IDK that came across as "be a man".  Maybe it was just because she was hurt that Russ stumbled badly on the what he loved about her question.  I don't think insulting your spouse on tv is a way to a healthy marriage.

ETA the best part of Loren's questions is that she was making people look bad.  They are all adults and on tv and should be able to discuss their actions. Look how Pedro and Chanel handled the discussion of their bad behaviour, they had decent answers and didn't get emotional.

Anyone else pick up on Mo's comment that Danielle had some sort of situation that needed to be treated by a doctor before she could have sex with him?  She didn't deny it, as far as I can recall.  

I look at these situations as one where the US citizen is investing in a dream with their "fiance."  Some investments turn out well, and the dream is realized.  Some turn into nightmares.  There are no promises or ability to figure out what it's going to be up-front.  Jorge, Danielle, Russ . . . cut your losses and consider the money you invested to be gone.  Let it go.  Move on.

I totally agree.  Mo was a class act on the show, at least compared to some of the rest of them.  He may appear to be snotty, but he's just reserved.  I was set against him at the start, but I think very highly of him now.  He apparently holds down a real job, and his English has improved dramatically, unlike some of the others ("the family Chantal," oh please).  Danielle completely misrepresented herself to him and no doubt he was shocked by what he found out on many levels.  Also, she is crazy.  

I would also like to know where this money Danielle is talking about came from.  She has none. I've never been clear how she proved she could support Mo, as she had to do on the visa application.  I suspect there was a cosigner, because nothing else makes sense.

I honestly can't understand why it was denied, unless they didn't fill it out correctly. On visa journey, there were around 100 of us that applied at the same time and nobody got denied the visa. Some took longer to get thsn others, of course. Now later, with the adjustment of status and stuffm was a different story. The initial process was easy-pay the fee, prove income, pass a background check, and get a general medical exam. The hard stuff came after the wedding, when you had to document your life together and go through the tough interviews.

It isn't fair.  However, it's based on the immigration officer.  Some people are lucky to get an officer who is lenient and others may get a Nurse Ratchet.  It's the luck of the draw.  Loren tends to ask tough questions, so I would love to see her moderate The Duggars and Sister Wives Tell Alls.
