Season 3 Discussion

[Suzywriter]

Azan just won my heart by checking in with May to recognize that Grandma was leaving for a long time. He told her to wave goodbye, then asked her if she would miss her grandma. He then said "But you still have Mommy", to give her an anchor. 

Recognizing May's loss and giving comfort to a child during his own chaotic mess was nothing short of spectacular.

[noveltylibrary]

"I feel cursed by Mohamed...it all started with him."  Preeetty sure that just can't be true.

[AussieBabe]

Producer: "Do you want to marry Nicole?"

Azan: "I don't know."

Meanwhile, Nicole is still planning to return to Morocco.

I loveedddd the red screen of doom and the shade. The store still hasn't been opened.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Sandusky... Danielle feels cursed by Mohamed... she can't figure out why some guy half her age with a gym bod doesn't want to be with her. It must be the curse of Mohamed, right?

There is that saying that definitely applies to Danielle, "Wherever you go, there you are."  

I wonder what kind of advice she's offering to Nicole now.

[sainte-chapelle]

A big wedding costs a lot, not when you aren't investing in fake beauty shops Nicole.

Azan isn't even LYING on camera anymore and

1. Nicole corrects him and puts words in his mouth, AFTER he admits the truth that the wedding is off for good and

2. Admits that he doesn't want to marry her.

What the hell am I watching?   This isn't a con when the con isn't even conning you anymore.  He's telling you the damn TRUTH.

That is the ultimate con!

Pretty confident there is no make up shop in the works either.   Scam.

So, are we all in agreement that the well has run dry with this batch of famewhores?

[sainte-chapelle]

As soon as the TLC money runs dry Azan is gone.

For sure but Nicole would have spent a lot more money in the US and her savings should have easily covered even a lavish Morraccan wedding of 50 bucks a head 

She had 6k in savings.He finagled it so the venue and the dresses cost exactly 6k.

I bet his mother and sister were in it up to their eyeballs. Cause Wafa said she lost  6K too. 

Whatever amount she had saved, he would have made sure the wedding expenses would have eaten it up. 

Shes back in the USA and no store has been opened. And I bet she’s talking to him and planning on sending money.

Robalee should have her declared incapable of handling her own affairs and get guardianship.

[TiffTiff]

Anyone else think it WIERD how his family, lost 6 grand on a wedding that they had to postpone. But then Later, when they are figuring food costs, Azan SAYS he is shocked and had no idea of the costs of things for the wedding. We'll.... atleast the 6grand that ur family "lost", right?

This was what you would call a long con. Two plus years? This dumbo fell for one of the oldest cons/scams: the pigeon drop. His $500 was a good faith effort in a bid to buy her confidence in this business, and she fell for the okie doke. Now, he's going to ghost her and vanish.

I see, I think I misheard RE some of the cost. You better believe there is a 'problem' with the 'shop' and Nicole needs to send more money to ensure it opens.

[Toaster Strudel]

That Tell All was very depressing. The long, uncomfortable silences. The resting bitch faces. Everyone so glum. The viewers didn't get a comedic palate cleanser and the show put me in a bad mood... so here we go.

Molly was hunkered down the whole time in an angry, silent temper tantrum. I think she is nasty, a bully, and a narcissist. The mask has come off, that's all. Luis: "call me later I'm busy" - I can't fault his flawless trolling. It's God-tier.

Russ & Pao - Russ told Pao that they don't have to go down to Anfisa's level. Bad news for you... the two of you are already sniping from the gutter. Russ is a decent guy but Pao dragged him down with her. She's a flaming ball of self-obsessed garbage. She claimed to be afraid to go back to the set, yeah sure. I transcribed the following lovely bits from Paola Rabbit: "Just get away! I don't want to see your face! You don't know how to be mu hoosband! I cannot see you! I don't know how I'm gonna live with you tonight! The smile on your face! I need to stay away from you for a while!" She is straight up abusive, she's mentally torturing the guy, and he's got Stockholm syndrome. He's shell shocked. He's trying to respond with calm, and in a way to create a productive dialog, but Drama Barbie won't have any of it. Being mean to Russ is her bread and butter.

The Anfisa-as-camgirl segment was all kinds of cringe. Of course it's her in the video, I saw it, and it's really tame, not even nipples. She is young now, she was even younger then. Let it go. She wants to put it behind her. It was cruel for the show to belabor the point. The smug face parade was disgusting. Pao probably dabbled in the industry, Annie was shooting ping pong balls, and Molly is a man-whore customer, so her tapping Pao's thigh with a wink and a nudge when Anfisa was uncomfortably denying it got my goat. Jorge is a loser and a liar, but his denials that the camgirl footage was Anfisa is the only decent thing I've ever seen him do or say on the show. Well, that and refusing to talk about their sex lives. Maybe he's learning a little bit.

Tobo STFU. His theory that Anfisa called the cops on Jorge for the reward money (really? reward money?) was mean-spirited, vindictive, trashy, and not even remotely credible. The nerve of this sex tourist loser to create baseless conspiracies in his sex-addicted mind and trying to pass them as facts! He's completely worthless, and thus, a great match for his loathsome bride Annie. "Hahahaha" she cackled to the cameraman like a deranged donkey "what do you see on webcam?" Probably nothing as disgusting as BOOM BOOM with Tobo's water buffalo ass. So, STFU too, Annie. You're in no position to judge, stay in your lane.

Tobo STFU. His haughty, pompous announcement that Jorge is "facing 12 years in the can" was top notch concern-trolling. How many years was Tobo facing for embezzlement and fraud, not so long ago? And is the can more or less comfortable than living in a storage container facility? Puck a sock in it.

Tobo STFU. "Something has to be done. Heading down a path that's not good!" Take your own advice, fool, your obnoxious wife is telling you that the path you're going down is worse and worse and worse. "Path that's not good" is the story of your life.

Azan was crossing his arms and looking down while Nicole was danielling all over him.

No one wanted to see the Parents Chantel on video chat. No one. Father Chantel had the wisdom to zip it, but Mother Chantel had to run her mouth, at her usual glacial pace. I didn't like that the questions Shaun Robinson was asking were geared to whip up more ganging up against Pedro, and siding with Mother Chantel who started the whole fight by pouring gasoline and striking a match the second everyone was seated. Pedro did acknowledge that he should have left instead of getting physical, I give him that. But Mother Chantel wouldn't apologize. Am I the only one who heard "I'm very proud of having torn off your sister's weave and I've been triumphantly waving it in the air ever since, I just can't put it down!" She is a horrible person and self-righteous shit-stirrer, Chantel would be wise to keep her distance. "I thought we had a wonderful blended family" BLENDED? Did she say, BLENDED? STFU Mother Chantel, every time she opens her pie hole something offensive oozes out of it. Her claim that she is being "protective" of her children is a transparent way of putting a halo on her despicable behavior. I no respect Mother Chantel. Kudos to Pao for stepping in and pointing out the obvious that Pedro didn't start it, and putting the blame on River, I blame it on Mother Chantel, but at least Pao & I are on the same side of the table on the issue.

Family Chantel is craaaazyy! I think no matter what Pedro does or doesn't, they will never trust him.

I believe he did, but here's the kicker, I bet it was $500 of the money she's been sending him over the past two years.

[Kareem]

Nicole/Azan - I found that hard to watch. When she mentioned the shop, I was surprised.  When she chose not to leave, I was disappointed.  When she defended his recent moves to her mother, I was just sad - for her, for her family, for her daughter.  She's so foolish, so dense and so stubborn.  I wish she had taken her daughter and the 6000 bucks and let it go before it got to the shop stage.  

[Pollo Loco]

I love that Nicole cannot understand how much her decisions/actions have affected other people. Even when called on it, she refuses to admit it. People have now had to cancel their plane tickets/hotels/time off for a second time and she doesn't care as it's all about her. She's such a narcissistic idiot.

Azan said 30 American dollars per person, 10 per table = 300 per table x 15 tables = 4500 American 

the dresses were 1500 American 

6k total. Coincidence? That’s what she had in savings.

The producers should have stopped that fight as soon as River stood up.

Not going to lie, I feel a bit uncomfortable on this board, with the hive mentality here.  Everyone seems to hate the black family and the black host, but seem to love Anfisa.

So will Azan and Nicole ever get married or will this drag on until next season, or until TLC gives them more $ for the wedding?

I don’t hate Chantel’s family. I don’t hate the host, but she is not good at getting information from the couples.

Bolding mine:  I can tell you, that as a 100% Caucasian woman, I hate pretty much everyone on this show.  I appreciate your candor though!  Anfisa, to me, is not lovable however she was the ONLY one who upfront about what she wanted - a rich man with no kids and big wallet and a big house.  So I, personally don't like her or dislike her, I can appreciate the fact that she is is upfront and blunt about what she wanted and expected from Jorge.

Exactly. She's his cash cow. Nothing more. 

He agreed to let her come back because they were filming. And he was nice to her. I actually thought he might go through with the wedding althoughI really didn't think he had it in him to have sex with her.

To let her try on gowns... and crowns. To make her feel like a fairy princess for a moment only to rip the rug out from underneath her feet. Well, that's a special kind of cruel.

I don't like Nicole. But shit, that was cruel.

Hate Family Chantal with the fire of a thousand suns. Pedro took some of the responsibilities for the fight the rest of them didn't. He is right he is totally ganged up on. Mother Chantal reading that quote was absolutely hilarious you can't make this stuff up.

Her family is really off the charts weird - like totally up in each other's asses weird.

[jackjill89]

I am so confused about the wedding money. How are they planning these weddings in mere weeks? How can the family be out $6000 but Nicole and Azan cancel a week and a half before and they aren't out any money. This is all so fishy.

There is no shop. He showed her photos, but it isn't their shop. He stole her money. 

He doesn't want to get married -- did you see his face when they were discussing if the wedding was off or just postponed? He hates her.

I have to agree and I think her end of the deal was that she would be a loyal, attractive, attentive wife and companion. She’s taken time to learn to speak the language, is getting some kind of education. She is angry at Jorge because he strung her along and isnt what he said he was.

Idk. I have watched this fight multiple times and I still do not think Pedro started the fight. River was calling him names and Pedro stood up first. But River threw a napkin or something in Pedro's direction, which hit the lamp. THAT is when Pedro reacted by hitting River. To me, the sole action of Pedro standing up to defend himself against River's insults, was not him instigating the fight.

River should know better than to hit a lamp at him.  That’s more or less an invitation to fight

Becky with the hair and the duck lips pout is just upset that daddy won't be spending more money on her wedding!

[EllaDisco]

I think Azan told Nicole he couldn't marry her because he didn't have a job and the wedding would take up all their savings.  How would they eat the next day?  But he had an idea for a business.  If only he had the money to invest.  Wait, Nicole could give him the money, he could start his business, and when it had made some money, THEN they would marry.

I'm not sure if he's waiting for her to go back to the US so he can be done with her or if he's going to start asking for money again.  He even told her to go home with her mom and still she stayed.  This won't end until Azan starts ignoring her completely.
