Nicole with her new purple hair

[RealReality]

LOL, it's almost like she knew people we're comparing her to the Kool aid man and she went about to make it happen 

[greekmom]

I only saw half the episode. Can someone please tell me (or PM if it's considered a spoiler) what info Baby Huey's step daddy revealed about Azhat? Thanks

[Kareem]

If the above things actually happen, seems they may be interesting.  Wonder if Debbie's heartbreaking news is Debbie contracted ebola kind of heartbreaking or Debbie may move next door kind of heartbreaking. 

Nicole's step-father has more grey matter than most over there so I can't wait to hear what he tells knucklehead. 

Jay, predictable.  Chantel, predictable.  Elizabeth, I don't care much.  Pao, time to say goodbye??  Back to Colooooombia?  Never to be heard from again?  Please?

Spoiler

He received some emails from people who had similar experiences in the past with Azan, if I understood it correctly. He said that Nicole was basically a laughing joke overseas and they all made fun of how stupid and ignorant she was. 

[Rebky]

Lordy. Nicole is spinning out of control in her delusion.  Thinking that new look is awesome?  You look like a huge grape Nicole!  You cannot seriously think a Muslim man is going to find that attractive!! You actually looked better before! And if you think those sad half-ass exercises are going to make a dent in your practically obese body?  You would need a serious trainer that would drive you to puke and tears to make any noticeable change.  And we all know that ain't gonna happen!!

[Kiss my mutt]

Debbie is probably going to concoct a medical issue or exaggerate it to get more Coltee love and devotion.  We can’t leave her now, she has xyz. I’m hoping it involves removal of that growth on her face because I feel nauseated when I have to look at it. 

I really hope Nicole will have a “come to Jesus moment” though knowing her she’ll find a way to hang on.

Nicole will say the others are all just haters and jealous and forge on ahead.

Hey you guys, I'm watching this on Philo, so I don't know if I missed anything.  Did they show Chantal and mother Pedro yelling at each other? Did Debbie share her big secret?  I can't find an episode longer than an hour.  Help?

I believe this episode was a sneak preview,  so it's only an hour long. The rest will come next week.

At first (their first season) I thought this, and then I changed my mind.

I think I'm changed back. If he's doing stuff like grabbing her phone...yeah, he needs to put the brakes on that stuff.

While I don't like Elizabeth or her family, Ahndddraay...man up and make some bank. Your high horse is a broke ass.

Why isn't Elizabeth writing his ads?  It shouldn't take a lot of additional work and I would skip over an ad that was difficult to decipher because the author wasn't able to express themselves well in English.

There is also a good chance that whatever ad he is writing is making him sound like an unbending , inflexible asshole.

I don't see the way forward for him unless he loses that attitude.  Even if he gets a job, he won't want direction or supervision.  If he gets handyman jobs and the client isn't happy or has requests he doesn't like he is going to lose his mind and then he will end up with a bad reputation.

He missed an opportunity with Lizzie's dad.  He could have said "no thanks" and given his reasons why he didn't want to work for him and asked if maybe he had a lead on someone else who was hiring.  Her dad seemed to understand that Andrei may not want to be under his thumb.

Just LOL @ wanting to be the man of the house but not really wanting to work.  And then getting mad at her for getting money from her dad.  I think he knew all along that was the case, he just didn't want to be told on camera that he was basically indebted to her dad.

I’m not surprised Adonis Coltie wants sex 10 times a day. He was probably spending a fortune on strip clubs, hookers and pornography before Larissa got here. I doubt he’s very creative in bed. It might help if he got his balls back from Mommy Dobbie. He’s such an insipid drip.   

Pedro looks happy for the first time since the wedding. Just say no to Lockjaw Pedro!

It’s really starting to piss me off that TLC is basically paying for Nicole to get scammed. There’s no way she’d be able to afford to continue her delusion without the TLC bucks. Sure it’s entertaining to watch and mock her stupidity but there’s a child in the middle of this mess. Mom Nicole should file for custody at the next misstep which may happen when May misses the first day of school.  It’s time for TLC to bow out of the Nicole loves Azan shit show for May’s sake.

Id feel so much better if TLC could convince Nicole to just let May stay with her grandparents.  

Nicole needs the TLC money so she would listen to them. 

It's distracting to worry about may when I want to laugh at Nicole.

Nicole is a fool and always will be. Sadly she has a kid. Maybe the kid will luck out and have Uncle Thomas’s common sense. If Mother Nicole hasn’t stepped in and told her to start putting May first or there will be consequences by now, she’s not going to. And honestly, she doesn’t have to. She raised her own kids and who knows if under her care, May wouldn’t turn out exactly like Nicole.

Nicole is not going to give up May. That’s wishful thinking on our parts. And no one is going to take May away from her. At best Mother Nicole tries to use what little maternal instinct Nicole has, to try and make her focus on May’s needs. But honestly I don’t see Mother Nicole making any moves to take May away from Nicole. It seems that she puts the blame for this whole mess on Azan. And that if they could get Nicole to face the reality about him and end it, that she would settle into being a mom.

Nor should she.  I have said this before in these forums:  There is a very wide reach the state has to go through to remove a child, as it should be or we would have people calling CPS for giving them drink Mountain Dew and eating pop tarts for breakfast.  May is clean, fed (at least with fries) seems to get dental care and has clean clothes.

Nicole is a knucklehead mom who will always put "Her World" before May.  Someday May will realize it more than she already knows and the sad part it......Nicole won't care.  She will probably just blame May for not accepting "Daddy."

I had an epiphany of Andrrrrei's ad:

Fixing this sink: it's not what I want to do now.  What I was thinking is I doing some things I did before like watching Ice Road Truckers and not getting haircuts.  When I am finish, the debt is OVER.

Except he does everything his lady expects of him, greets her sweetly when she walks through the door, and didn't overpromise/underdeliver on backsplash installations.

Andreeee. Sitting at the counter writing an ad while drinking a beer telling his pregnant wife who just got home from work now the household will be run!

He hit the jackpot with this family.  All he has to do is engage with dad and the sisters then sit back and pop a few!

He's dumb like a fox!

He basically just yells at everyone, demand respect, insists he doesn't need dad's money, and unwillingly allows Libby to ask Dad for money.  

You're right, it's not a bad life.  

Instead of writing an ad, he needs to write a how to book for other aspiring moldovian men who would like to be in charge of the household, but would prefer not to work.

My ex was like this. He had a very controlling personality and could not get along with anyone because he wanted to be the boss.  As a consequence, I was the one keeping our head above the water while he got fired from one job after another.  Which is also why he is my ex. He showed no sign of this while we were dating - just as sweet as could be.  I have been single for many years because I have trouble trusting men to show their true colors until they have you roped into a marriage.

That would be wishful thinking on Robalee’s part. If Azan stopped returning her calls for good, Nicole would be on to the next man and telling May to call him daddy.

That really sucks 😞

as my mom says "sometimes you have to kiss ass until you can kick ass"

I've run into the "I should be the boss because I'm smarter so I'm under no obligation to take orders from the likes of you!" types and they are unemployable in any standard job.  And how can they be self employed when they are going to end up yelling at clients/customers and suppliers.  

Other than a magical attitude adjustment I don't know what the path is for Andrei.  Maybe selling stuff on eBay, but you know he'd lose his mind if someone left a negative review.

Yup. Remember how he forbid Libby from going out to girl’s night or clubs without him because he was manly and protecting his woman’s reputation (lol)? But he’s totally fine watching his increasingly pregnant wife go out to financially support him while he drinks beer and pretends to apply for jobs.

Next time Libby wants to meet up with friends or her sisters, she should just tell Andrei she has to work. He’ll bolt for the couch and laptop as she heads for the door 🤣

We live not far from Andrrrreiiiii and Libby and I'm always in the market for a good handyman. But that guy? I can see him coming and effing up my house then telling me I don't know what I'm talking about when I complain and storming off. Just no.

Nicole won't give up May because she is the most powerful leverage she has over family and basically the reason she has been able to get away with as much as she has.

That is exactly how it would go.  And it only takes screwing over one person for no one else to want to take the risk. 

And you wouldn't even want him to come back and fix the work.  I don't want an angry moldovian with a hammer in my place.

Wouldn’t you need to be licensed and insured to be “handy man”. Guess it doesn’t matter since he won’t do it anyway.

Sorta kinda. 

Handyman businesses are very limited as to their scope of work.  Anything that requires a permit (ex: electrical, plumbing, HVAC) legally needs a licensed/insured contractor.  Anything over a certain price range (maybe $1500 including materials and labor?) legally needs a licensed/insured contractor.  And don't try calling the handyman later to say his work's no good, it's either "not good, fix it" before you pay him or it's staying not good forever. 

That said, it's good to know and have a relationship with a handyman.  Need some wallpaper put up, want a door re-painted, need some shelves installed, looking for a tile backsplash or someone to cut and lay Pergo over your floors?  Handyman will cost you less (time/money) and be there sooner than a contractor.

THAT said, don't call Andrei.

What Drogo said. I'd also consider the job and the handyman's insurance. I wouldn't pay someone to go up on the roof if he wasn't insured but I'd be fine with him doing interior painting or doing lawn work. A lot of the guys in our neighborhood who come around advertising to clean the gutters aren't insured and I won't hire them to be up on ladders without out.

I miss our handyman.  Retired electrician.  He was awesome.  He put a new spigot on the outside of my house (prior owner left hose hooked up in winter and it split the pipe) for under $150, put an outlet in my mud room and changed an outlet in my kitchen to ground fault for $100, and fixed my leak between the toilet bowl and the toilet tank for $50.  He finally "retired retired" last year.  😥

Nicole, you ARE a burden to your family.  You need to get your fat ass out and get a job and get a stable home for your daughter rather than chasing some dick from Morocco.

And, if you want to storm off when your stepfather dishes out the truth, you need to be small enough to get past your mother’s chair.
