Season 6 Discussion

[Wendy]

You are wrong Tasha, your father does deserve that woman, 

He deserves the huge heartache that Leida will inflict on him as soon as the green card arrives and she leaves him. 

Eric is just as much a POS as Leida is. Meant for each other those two

[JennyMominFL]

At 19 I had been in the Marines for 2 years, My son had been in the Army for 2 years. Tasha is not a child. She has not paid rent in months and she trashes the house, She needs to go. Frankly so does Leida.

[iwasish]

Tasha said his last relationship ended badly, I wonder if this isn’t his first foray into the world of buy me a wife.

[Chalby]

I have come to realize that after several weeks I have no desire to learn more about any of these unlikeable people. I do wish Olga the best, but I just feel that each storyline is so unbelievable or exaggerated, each does not align with the characters involved. None of these people are worth having my limited viewing time.

Her father said he was covering her rent just since “this month” so she could save for a new apartment. It hasn’t been months. 

So now he can pay the full rent for the future. Even less money for Leida.

I straight up guffawed when John pulled out of the driveway, after several more bleeps and "bitch"es, and his SUV had a bunch of different Jesus-y bumper stickers. While that entire scene felt contrived, that ending had the kind of irony you can't script. Colt continues to make my blood boil, and he had to go and call Larissa a bitch too, followed by several "calm down"s. He's such a nasty piece of work.

God, I feel for Tasha. And while I can't realistically expect her to react any differently, she's pointing her rage in the wrong direction. No, Eric doesn't deserve better than Leida. From what we've observed of Eric's character and choices so far, he seems to completely deserve Leida. She needs to focus on the wicked stepmother less, because it's a red herring -- her dad is just a sack of shit, and the sooner she learns to draw some very clear boundaries and move on with her life, the better off she'll probably be.

Is Eric supporting one child under the age of 18? In NY anyway child support is 18% of wages, so if he is paying $1,000/month, he's making $5,500 /month or $66,000/year.

If he is supporting 2 kids it's 22% of wages, so if he's paying $1,000/month he's making $4,500/month or $54,000/year.

These are what the figures are in NY (the last I knew), I can't imagine they're that much different in WI.

He's making okay money, so where is all of his money going?

Let’s not kid ourselves. He can’t pay the full rent on his own. It’s why he  was living with Tasha in the first place. He’ll be begging Leida’s father for money soon, only to find out that he simply doesn’t have it.

This looks like a David/Chris situation.

I gotta say this again. Eric was cruel. Telling his teenaged daughter to get her shit out. Most parents want their teenagers to wait before moving in with their boyfriends, but not scumbag, Eric.

And again, congratulations, Leida! You win the hovel! You get to sleep on a twin box spring next to the alcoholic! Have fun reclining on your air couch waiting for hubby to get home from his $18,000 a year job.

I thought it was hilarious that Leida actually looked startled when Tasha went toe to toe with her. She is clearly used to everyone backing down. I don't like Tasha all that much either, but I appreciated that she gave it right  back. I actually shared Leida's frustration about the pigsty, but that was as much Eric's fault as it was Tasha's, for the common areas at least.

I never, ever thought we'd see a fiance more unlikeable than Anfisa. What a time to be alive.

No Tasha is not a child. That's why she took in her homeless father into HER apartment.

I can see Eric, whose not on the lease, not paying rent at all, waiting till eviction, and then sticking Tasha with the back rent, claiming that she owes him since he paid rent whenever. I hope it doesn't happen, but Eric seems like he'll throw his family under the bus to save some cash.

I doubt he's making that much money. Leida probably exaggerated how much he's paying just like she exaggerated everything else.  

I do know what his job is, but I'm not sure whether I'm allowed to say that here. Let's just say he probably makes about 18K.

Do we know for a fact that he’s paying $1000 a month? I doubt he is. That number sounds high. I had a friend whose dad was a very successful doctor. He paid less than $1000 a month in support 20 years ago. He wasn’t living in a crap apartment being financed partially by his teen daughter like Eric.

I can see how you were confused. He spends so much time making excuses/trying to reason with  Leida.

That was a “calculation” by Leida. He might also be paying alimony, I know the amounts are combined into one on a wage garnishment. I wouldn’t trust Leidas numbers.

Whether Tasha needs to leave or not is irrelevant. 

That was a conversation that Eric needed to have with Tasha (no cameras around), helped her pack and help her move to wherever else she was going. Leida had no business in there. 

It was not Leida's place to confront Tasha nor ask her to leave. Leida was not even married to Eric when this went down so technically the place wasn't hers.

I think Leida said he was paying some thousands per year? In any even I think he only has one minor child that gets child support. His other two are over age 18.

I too think that $1,000/months sounds like a lot, but that's the number they keep repeating.  If he's paying that much, he's not poor.

[JennyMominFL]

If Im wrong and Tasha is on the lease without Eric and, only just stopped paying rent l think Eric and Leida should move.  If they are both on the lease and Tasha has not been paying  rent for months she should go. 

 I know Russia has citizenship by blood. Will they recognice a second citizenship? If not would they even let Steven take the baby?

[bravofan27]

A cursory look at glassdoor for aviation technicians in Madison Wisconsin ranged from 13 to 21 dollars an hour. 

If he's making 24k a year, he's paying 360 in child support.

We don't know how many garnishments he has in addition to child support.  Maybe all garnishments add up to $1,000??? Also, Leida lies...sooo....

So, essentially, this is reality (non-fiction) TV and we’re watching an Indonesian citizen (on a K-1 visa) persuading convincing coercing an American citizen to break the law on American national television on a weekly basis... 🍸

My daughter is 19 and when she is off from college she lives with me. It has never occurred to me to tell her that she is no longer welcome in my house, to each its own I guess. 

Leida LET Eric win the child support argument because she finally realized he CAN’T get out of it. So she doubled down on the Tasha situation, got Eric to put it in a text that he wanted her out. Hearing her dad sell her out cut her to the bone. That’s why she left. She was devastated that he sold her out. Clearly she believed her dad wouldn’t put Leida above her and her sisters.  

[Frozendiva]

Princess Leida, it's time to go home to Alderaan. You have no money of your own to help out and pay for groceries and such for you and your son? Daddy can't wire you a few dollars through electronic banking? You have a lot of unrealistic expectations with Eric the Scoundrel.  Actually, Eric the Loser, but well, you two probably deserve each other. You have zero business ordering around his daughter. If the apartment isn't properly clean enough for you, clean it yourself, or hire a cleaning service. You want the Green Card, and Eric is your winning Golden Ticket. You don't like your soon to be stepdaughter and she certainly doesn't like you. Grow up, get some manners, and stop complaining. You chose this life. You could have said 'no'.

Steven and Olga - ummmm, she should be included in any discussion with the US Embassy. You can't do this on your own, little kid. Russia may have very different laws. At least Olga seems to have a friend who cares. The child is better off in Russia until you grow up, deal with your anger issues, your abandonment issues, your temper, etc. Stop acting like a little boy who is used to getting his way and will throw a tantrum or whatever to get it.

Must have missed Fernanda this week.

Larissa, you are marrying Coltee and his mother and the cats. He is not going to leave Debbie. Get used to it. The cousins behaved horribly.  Get used to it Larissa, because they are what you will be getting. Give back the ring, throw it at him - nothing will change. You will probably still marry him to get the Green Card and whatever misery befalls the happy threesome.

Ashley, you will not have many friends left if you continue to be flighty and skip the 'wedding' to elope. These women spent a lot of time, energy, and money to buy their dresses for you. At least pay them back for their inconvenience. I wouldn't doubt that one of her friends had something to do with the nasty comments. You are still marrying a 20 year old boy. Send him back to Jamaica to apply for a student visa, so maybe you could live together for a bit.

Kalani, you treat Asuelu as a simpleton. Why you chose to hook up with him is questionable. He will never be a suitable spouse for you as long as the true love of your life, your sister, is around. Stop belittling him and treating him as a child.  He will not be a good partner for you for quite some time, if ever at all. Cut your loss and find a job and support your child.

[Ijustwantsomechips]

Leida is pure garbage, but she knows who to try that shit with!  I wish a bitch would have gotten flip with me in my own house. Even at 18, I would have called my mom, and she would have showed up and showed out, and we’re not violent people!  And you would not be talking to my kid like that.  Exactly who the fuck do you think you are?  Where’s you resources? Where’s your Gucci, Chanel and Balenciaga? Your family is so important and wealthy but you’re fighting an 18 year old kid for her dumpy apartment?  Bitch please 😏

Steven is a psycho and a giant man-baby.  I knew he just wanted to take the kid.  He hasn’t even referred to RIchie by his name lately because he doesn’t see him as a person, just a possession.  Run Olga, run!

Debbie is manipulative, Colt is a controlling, smug d-bag, and Cousin John will bone Larissa as soon as Colt turns his back.  

I hate Kalani, and I hate her sister more.  Instead of obsessing over Oliver, Kalini should really go get laid herself and get her own kid.  She’d feel A LOT better!!! 

Ashely and Jay are boring but they’re growing on me.  They’re not mean, self-centered, or rude so that’s a change.  

Fernanda may be 19, but she’s far more mature than John. 

[Frozendiva]

Debbie knows how to push Coltee's buttons. Talk of moving to a senior's apartment is just that - cheap talk. Coltee would never let her do that.

I too have noticed Leida's lack of designer labels - shoes, purses, etc. Even if she wasn't super rich, she would still probably have AAA or higher fake LV.

Wish some of these people had some self awareness and a way of seeing how their actions or inactions impact others.

Exactly. She does not seem the type to be low-key or discreet about her wealth. If she really had it, I’m 1000% certain she would’ve FLAUNTED THE HELL OUT OF IT.

But she doesn’t. So all she has is words, words, words...

Also, her family look like they could EASILY BE MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOURS! (I’m upper-middle class, not “Crazy Rich Asians”.)

I am not in the habit of judging people for their poverty, but that is a HOVEL for Baraboo, Wisconsin. Housing is dirt cheap there compared to the "big cities" of Milwaukee and Madison. To demand to be boss of a garbage pail like that is pathetic. Pee on all the carpets, Leida; make sure to get your scent everywhere. You wouldn't even be queen of a trailer park.

I have a family member who pays $1400/mo for one child, so a thousand is not far fetched.  However, if support is income based I would think Eric pays less because he is obviously broke.

Regardless of his monetary situation, NO ONE should suggest a father walk away from his responsibilities.  And the fact Leida, a mother herself, suggested this is mind boggling.  Would she want someone suggesting that about her child?  Bitch go back to Indonesia and live off your parents.

[liammaam]

Only half-way through, but my respect, like the Grinch's heart, grew about three sizes bigger tonight for Fernanda and Jon- especially for Fernanda, because that took a lot of guts to speak up for a woman she doesn't know well and hasn't exactly welcomed her with open arms.  I think they (the three of them) can work this out, for sure.

Also:  FUCK OFF, LEIDA.  You are a she-bat from hell

That guy was narcissistic and behaved terribly in front of Darcey’s daughters...

But that was when I was young and innocent and hadn’t been exposed to Leida.

Anfisa was at least HONEST about being gold-digger (in contrast, Leida is a covert gold-digger pretending to be rich with a disturbing fixation on getting a man to stop paying child support for his biological children WTF).

Also, even when Leida appears to Ben “honest” about just wanting to “further a medical career in the US”, I still think she’s lying because I think she’s trying to establish herself as an Indonesian “Real Housewives” type with her tall tales about being from a “well-respected, wealthy family” but she’s playing coy about just wanting to be famous.

I call BS about wanting a medical career in the US. Absolute BS.

Leida’s keeps yammering on about how rich her family is. It doesn’t take much to be rich in Indonesia. You can get a full time maid for about $100 a month.  And who the hell comes to another country with a child and all the “education “ she supposedly has without one damn cent? I mean come the hell on!!! You come here with no money to contribute? Something is definitely fishy about that!!

Did anyone else have a visceral reaction to Steven when he coldly said something along the lines of, "I don't care about your K-1 right now, this (pointing at Ritchie's application) is what I care about right now."  Just creepy beyond belief.  He's like freaking Jareth- he wants the baby, and if Olga works out, that's great- but the baby is his real aim here.
