Little Women: LA - General Discussion

[heatherchandler]

Tonya wants to put Matt under a telescope! She's a fucking moron.

[bluvelvet]

Okay WHY is Brianna upset that Elena is renewing her vows, it's not like she is getting newly married, she's already married it's just a vow renewal.

 

At this point I pity Brianna, this will end badly for her. That being said I think it's time for Terra to let it go. Brianna is a grown woman who can make her own decisions.

[WickedTuna]

Briana needs to break it off with Matt right now. He had no good intentions when he showed up at Ladies' Night and it made me shudder. Same thing when he told Briana to kick Terra in the face. Who says that. He's dangerous.

I rolled my eyes at Tonya's video and the audition. Who pits their friends against each other like that.

OMG. I just saw the previews for next week. The close up of Christy's business during insemination was wrong. I will never be able to unsee that. Blurgh. Excuse me while I go bleach my eyes.

[SeenYouWitKieffah]

I have such conflicting feelings over this whole Matt vs The Girls deal. Like, I don't trust him anymore than they do so I'm glad to see Briana's friends fighting for her. However, they've been pushing so hard for so long and she's not hearing it, it's just driving her into his arms and supporting his "us against the world" narrative. At this point, they need to back off a bit, keep an eye out for bigger red flags, and be there for her when things do start falling apart. 

 

I will say though, I really hate their stupid Bonnie&Clyde, ride or die motto. The story of Bonnie and Clyde is not romantic and they got those tattoos way too soon. 

[SeenYouWitKieffah]

During the first two seasons, I loved Tonya and hated Christy. Now I'm embarrassed by Tonya and find Christy pretty sympathetic. What is happening??

[bichonblitz]

If Tonya doesn't stop bobbing her head and pointing her finger in her talking heads as if she's such a badass chick I'm gonna put my fist through the teevee! 

[featherhead]

It's sad but I don't even remember that season and I've watched everyone of them!

It was "One World" season, the one with Colton, Troyzan and Tarzan. Girls vs guys. I remember Leif being a very quiet person. I had no idea he was married to Brianna.

[BodhiGurl]

If this was real, I'd have to say what the hell was up with Matt showing up for ladies night? I'm sure it's for drama... But seriously... Bye Felicia....

[bluvelvet]

Also Matt said he worked and made money but didn't Brianna tell Jasmine last week that he wasn't working ?

[heatherchandler]

Ok no way Matt has a job. If someone said to me, "do you work?" I would say, "yes I am an investment banker." I would NOT say, "yes I work I make money." Who says that? It's such bullshit!

[WickedTuna]

Hookers say that but I'm pretty sure he's not doing that -giggles- Sorry....being silly. I'm not sure about his money situation. His place looked decent enough. Maybe he has rich family? I think part of Briana's problem is she's in love with the idea of love and marriage. Maybe it's just me but i can't believe she gave up her family for him. They seemed like good people. Of course I've never been with anyone my family told me to choose over them so I might not be feeling the situation.

[bichonblitz]

I hate Tonya more and more each episode! What an entitled beyotch! 

The new chick Jasmine- are we really supposed to care that her husband finally got another job and is working so much and she misses him, he's not there to help her...wha wha whine. Totally weak and boring story line. 

I felt bad for Kristi and her hubby. Maybe trying to have another baby is just not a good idea for Kristi. Time to let it go. Todd should realize this and stop putting Kristi through physical and emotional hell. I know Todd doesn't have any kids and Kristi does but sometimes you have to accept the cards you are dealt and move on.

[tessa]

I'm done with the Matt bashing. Briana's a big girl. Everyone should look in the mirror before passing judgement. Elena was engaged to Preston within 3 months of coming to the US - they were married 3 months after that and no one in her family had met him. He seems like a great guy as does Tonya's new beau - but whose to say that they also didn't date or want to date other little women?  Just because Terra says they didn't we are suppose to believe her.

[Madding crowd]

These women seem so immature to me and some of them are in their late 30's or 40's! I don't understand the constant need to bring up every conversation and say things like "How did you feel when so and so said that about you?" Who acts like that in real life? Tonya seems kind of nuts to me and I can't imagine her having much success in the workout video department. Why are these women so obsessed with the entertainment industry? Of course they are all on TV now, but it seems one or more of them are constantly trying to become famous.

 

I really feel for Christy but did not need to see close up blurred images of her lady parts. I'm sure she was asked to do this by the producers, but have some dignity woman!

[WickedTuna]

I almost felt sorry for Tonya but not quite. What a bitch. The girls were right...they were doing it for free and she was treating them like dirt. The video looked bad. It was like she put almost no thought into it. Maybe she had to rush to get it done during this season of the show.

I did feel sorry for Christy. I still can't stand her but it was a sad moment. The close ups were not needed at all. It's not like it was a training video for doctors.

[bluvelvet]

All this time I assumed Christys kids didn't live with her but it looks like her daughter does. I assume she just didn't want them featured too much on the show.

[heatherchandler]

I figured that her kids live with their dad full time, but have a room at Christy's house (apartment). 

 

I laughed about how Todd said something like, "at the new house, you can have a yard!"  Like, the kid looks to be about 16, what does she care about a yard?

[GracieK]

I'd rather bleed than defend anything about Briana's "Ride or Die, Bonnie & Clyde" relationship.  But there was one salient point - accusing him of fetishism when several other ladies have relationships with non-little people, and no one has accused THOSE partners of the same.  It is rather demeaning to suggest that only weirdos would be interested in forming a relationship with someone "different"; without proof I'd stick to the "Matt is not a good guy" route.

 

I'm just now catching up on episodes and reading up on the threads, but I think the ladies are worried about that because Matt has reached out to other little women (including in their group) on social media in the past.  Makes him seem like he either has a fetish or at least is a famewhore.

[radishcake]

A break in Christy's fertility treatments gives her the opportunity to seek medical advice for her excruciating neck pain. Unfortunately, the threat of additional surgery brings up horrible memories of physical abuse from a previous relationship many years ago. Meanwhile, Briana is taking the next step in her music career, working with producers and songwriters on her debut single, using her beef with her friends as fuel to her inner fire. And a group trip to the horse track brings big hats, and even bigger problems, when the girls confront Briana about why she flaked out on Tonya's workout video.

[RedheadZombie]

I started watching this show in the middle of last season.  I immediately liked Brianna, but that has certainly changed.  She was the one who brought up concerns that Matt may have a fetish.  I thought she sounded very sensible about the whole thing.  Now, she has apparently put Matt before her family and friends, to such an extent that she doesn't see her family, and is fighting with her friends.  She seems to be completely unconcerned that she's deliberately keeping her daughter from her family, or that she's exposing her daughter to a man with some violent history.  She's also encouraging her daughter in addressing Matt in some way as "daddy".

 

The singing is so ridiculous.  She reminds me of my twelve year old cousin who decided she was going to be a "pop star", and asked if I would help her design her CD cover.  I'm ashamed to say I laughed at her.  She had no singing talent, had no interest in writing songs, and really only wanted to be famous.  So I informed her - everybody wants to be a pop star.  Briana just isn't talented.  If she isn't sharp, she's flat.  She's too self-conscious, and rather than doing what she supposedly loves and possibly singing in bars or other small venues, she wants to be a female Michael Buble.  Right Brianna, and I wanted to be a princess, a nurse, and a brain surgeon when I was a kid.  Guess which one I became. 

 

I just cannot help but feel that Elena takes advantage of Preston.  She just takes takes takes.  Multiple plastic surgeries.  Multiple fantastical careers.  Married for four years, and she's buying her second and third wedding dress.  Just don't care for her.  And I don't doubt that she crossed the line with Brittany's father.

 

And Briana had a little fit and talked about how she supports herself.  How?  She doesn't seem to work.  Per Survivor Wiki, her ex is a phlebotomist, so I doubt he's paying alimony.

[walnutqueen]

Briana cannot sing.  But she seems to live in fantasy land about a lot of stuff ...

[bluvelvet]

I love how Brianna says she isn't jealous of Elena's vow renewal yet we saw her tears on the when Elena announced her news. So she is being a hypocrite.

[FawnLeibowitz]

During the first two seasons, I loved Tonya and hated Christy. Now I'm embarrassed by Tonya and find Christy pretty sympathetic.

 

 

Same with me!

I am catching up on the episodes and just watched this one yesterday. Christy seems much more likeable now and I can barely watch Tonya because she is so hateful and nasty.

If I were part of a group of friends who fought as much as these women do, I would only last about a week before I stopped associating with them. Of course these situations are probably scripted (party, altercation, discussion about it, repeat), so who knows if they're even friends outside of the show.

[GracieK]

Brianna has really been bugging me and I find Matt to be creepy.. he totally feeds the flames.  People who do that are master manipulators at separating and isolating people from their friends and loved ones.  He is so good at it that he has Brianna thinking that she's separating from friends and family from a place of strength and principle when it's obvious that he is pulling the puppet strings here.

 

Regarding the Elena vow renewal.. Brianna was definitely hurt over it, and claiming it didn't bother her was a lie.  However, I do not think it's because she wants to begrudge Elena of a special day.  I think it has more to do with the fact that everyone is congratulating and celebrating and planning bachelorette parties and trying on wedding gowns.  They haven't shown her that level of interest or excitement.. and what woman doesn't want that when they get engaged?  I think she feels slighted and in that regard she has a right to feel hurt.  

[radishcake]

The women break out bikinis and booze to celebrate Elena's upcoming vow renewal with a bachelorette party; Brittney breaks down over her ex-boyfriend; Briana reveals a major secret.

[radishcake]

The women are hurt by Briana's lies; Elena waits for her family to arrive from Russia; Brittney struggles to tell Terra how she has been feeling; Terra brings up her past issues with Brittney.

[LIGirl]

Welp, I hope Brianna was smart enough to make Matt sign a prenup, but then again, I doubt she did since she hasn't been smart about anything with him since day one.  Good luck with that and your non-existent singing career, girl.

[jonesingjay]

I was actually surprised when Briana announced she and Matt were married. I really didn't see that coming. Although, it seems obvious now. I have a better understanding of why she was so touchy about the comments being made about Matt. He wasn't just her fiancee but her husband. Is this real life? Did she actually get married to this guy? Is she that desperate for companionship?

I didn't see that coming either.  But then again, I have barely been watching this season because I just can't seem to muster up a f*ck about this show anymore.

 

Anyway, yes, it seems that she is this desperate for companionship and it must be real life because I looked up her Instagram last night and sure enough, they have pictures of their hands together while wearing their wedding bands.  (You can see their rings in other pictures, too.)

 

Matt seems to be enjoying every penny of her paycheck(s); they are shown in pictures flying back and forth to see his sons and doing things with them.  I mean, I'm glad he's still staying active in his sons' lives for his sons' sakes, but that's got to be a pretty penny to keep up with that as often as they seem to be doing it.

[WickedTuna]

Yikes. Elena's wedding dress is so revealing. Was there even a liner? One wrong move and whoops, there it is.

Has anyone tried to do a search on Matt like the girls did? I tried to google him but I'm not very good at it. They haven't shown him alot but even without all the revelations I don't think I'd like him. He seems like a really angry person and not just about the group.

I wonder if Brittney is coming back next season. She doesn't really add anything to the show and I hate all the slang she uses. I suppose it comes from her being so young but she just sounds silly to me.

[silversage]

I've heard Matt say a few times that he is sick of things the girls say about him or his relationship with Briana.  At the next get together he's there. There's nothing that says he has to be with them at every opportunity. Not sure what his motives are but it seems like he wants air time. He has changed the feel of this show and I don't like it. I know the girls have their issues with each other at times but bringing in Matt made things worse.

[still hoping]

Hi to all ,,new to this forum but not new to reality shows

watched all the Little women shows...

 

I used to like Elana but now - I am sick of her...wedding dress was cheezy, like a porn star

I think she used her hubby for a green card and still uses him for her various ideas - fashion design, now make up

All the butt drama but no mention of the nose job? Nyet Nyet LOL

 

Show seems more fake - Brittany is way too young to hang with them, too hip hop and nothing in common - makes it obvious they just wanted more little women when the boring Tracey left (don't miss her)

 

I like Christy and Todd...while Terra is annoying she is the one who brought the show together, but she has mellowed a bit after having Penny

I am glad Tanya is being nicer to Jasmine..now if she can only stop with the Heiffer and Little Boss nonsense LOL

I actually like Jasmine...and I still like Briana (not her singing)....Briana is a grown woman and women make mistakes. I hope Matt has truly cnanged and I hope it works out for her

 

the one I am not liking at all is Elana. I may have to fast forward if her "vow" ceremony is too sickening LOL

[heatherchandler]

You mean her "vowel" renewal? These idiots keep mis-pronouncing, or slurring their speech. Speaking of slurred speech, I get the feeling that Christy is on something. Maybe painkillers for her "neck pain?" She is slurring hard core.

[walnutqueen]

Hey, I'm all for self expression and freedom to wear what you want, but who would want to wear a tacky wedding dress that is guaranteed to shock and shame your entire Russian family and most of your in-laws & guests?  I'd imagine even the lovely deluded Preston would be taken aback by that public (or should that be pubic?) display.

[RedheadZombie]

I'm just about over Elena.  It seems like Preston works like a dog to indulge her every whim - and I guess that's fine if it makes him happy.  At this point, I hope she's not planning on children.  She's completely self-involved.   And I'm the type of person who is always honest with friends - the dress is ridiculous, and screams "desperate for attention".  She's shallow, vain, and a user.  It's no surprise that she snuggled up so quickly with Terra - the glue that holds this show together.

[CalicoskiesNC]

Elena's dress was nothing but lingerie. She should be embarrassed to wear that in front of their families. It's so disrespectful. The vow renewal is to re-commit to your marriage not a photo shoot for a porn mag. Just ewwww. I would think Preston would be humiliated.

ETA that these women are just so weird and it has NOTHING to do with their little-person stature. Nuts come in all sizes.

[4leafclover]

Friends and family travel to Elena and Preston's vow renewal in Hawaii, but Elena is in a race against the clock to finalize the logistics of her perfect dream wedding.  Meanwhile, Christy invites the others to attend a couples retreat before the ceremony.

[4leafclover]

Elena's "wedding" dress (the lace curtain that wraps around the vital areas) doesn't fit perfectly, Christy acts like a child during the couples retreat, Jasmine blabs more secrets all in the name of protecting Brianna and Matt and Tonya counsels Brittney and Terra on friendship (since she is such a good friend to all, haha).  None of these people are gainfully employed yet they all pack up and fly to Hawaii for a vow renewal after only 4 years of marriage.  This show is starting to get on my last nerve.  I'm definitely now in the "hate watching" mode.

[bichonblitz]

For the love of god, Christy, grow up! That tantrum over him not spreading the paint on her face to her liking was so rediculous it was embarrassing.  Why is she so on her husband about his weight? I know he's heavy but girl needs to look in the mirror. 

 

I applaud Jasmine for not telling the other girls about Brianna being married. It was not her place to tell Brianna's business, they have no right to be upset with her. News flash to these idiots: When your good friend tells you something in confidence, you keep your mouth shut! That's what a trustworthy friend does!

[GracieK]

I'm not excusing Christy's behavior, but she seemed like there were underlying things she was frustrated about and it manifested itself during that body painting thing, particularly when she perceived Todd to be blowing it off and uncaring.  I think the comment Jazmine made about Todd saying he could have Brianna whenever he wanted really hurt her and she was for whatever reason, pushing that down and not dealing with her anger with him over it directly.

 

And speaking of Jazmine mentioning that Matt had said that... she needs to keep her mouth shut.  Yeah, she kept the marriage thing a secret but then she blabs that they were shit talking about Todd, and that's ok with them?  

[radishcake]

Trouble brews while the group is in Hawaii; Tonya considers the future of her relationship with Jaa; Matt crosses the line with some of the women; Elena's dream wedding becomes a nightmare.

[kassa]

Not a big Christy fan, but she is in pain from her neck and about to have surgery in what sounds like days, her daughter is facing a brutal surgery/recovery, her marriage is stressed from a year of trying to conceive, she's on an artificial hormone rollercoaster, worried about finances, her best friend dumped her for a (possibly) abusive asshole who triggers her abusive relationship PTSD (as does the neck pain) and she was looking forward to a couple of show-sponsored days to unwind at a beautiful resort and reconnect with her man. And they're doing an exercise surrounded by lovers tenderly laughing and bonding and he doesn't see that she wants it to be more than just a goof. Not that I blame him - I think he thought they would bond over goofing.

[jonesingjay]

I'm not a fan of her. Although, I did think Tonya's initial treatment of her was unfair and immature. I think Jasmine has proven that she's just as immature as Tonya but she pretends that she's above it all. Regarding Brianna and Matt I think that they will take any ally they can get at this point but it's not very smart of them. Jasmine can't seem to keep a secret and will use any reason she can come up with to justify running back and forth between the ladies spilling what they said about each other.

[Spiderella2]

Brianna is so annoying.

She creates her own drama with the girls and Matt fuels the fire. She has no singing talent whatsoever and is 100% delusional. She needs singing lessons. Glad that that Berry Gordy is keeping it real and not letting her slide on her looks and 'sexiness'. She thinks she is so good at everything, has the classic problem many Millenials do when their parents tell them they can do anything. If people aren't singing her praises, then the issue is obviously with them, and not herself. I haven't seen her do any real work for her music career, she expects it to just be handed to her. Take some singing lessons and stop being pitchy and flat. She doesn't work, and her new grifter husband doesn't work either.

she expects her friends to throw a parade for her over her engagement, and then calls them out when they don't. She's mad that they don't offer her a bachelorette party, even though she has been married for months without telling anyone. Why does she show up late to events? She wants to be the center of attention in every situation and when she isn't, she throws a tantrum. When they are talking about her, she gets mad, but when they are not taking about her, she still gets mad. Pick a side woman!

Then ruining every event with her drama...the list goes on and on. she is the definition of a Narcissistic egomaniac.

She treated Christy, her supposed BFF from last season so bad. And now saying Todd is hitting on her? Wtf?

The Bonnie & Clyde love affair is not romantic, it's tragic. Newsflash, they both die in the end.

[DanaMB]

Now Elena is getting breast implants.  She truly hates her body.

Not sure where to post this... Little Women: ATL is now in production. LW is quickly on its way to becoming Lifetime's version of the RHOs. They should stagger the shows, one fall/winter, one winter/spring, and one spring/summer.
