Is anyone here planning on watching Family Chantel?  

Not me.

I believe you are confused.  She is going to explain if the tree or the chicken came first and does an egg make a sound in the forest if no one is around to hear it.  Obviously, we need mama Chantel's great scientific mind to help us here.

[greekmom]

My thoughts:

1.       Judgement Day: Everything was told in one line from Debbie in her conversation with the lawyer: We ….. I mean HE wants to be rid of her.

2.       Andrei should just shut up.  I can’t believe he stood up for Colt. Well, yeah I can

3.       Chantel and Pedro – if you want it work, cut your families out! Both families.

4.       I felt bad for Pedro. When Family Chantel showed up, he looked like he was going to cry.

5.       Nicole (and Azan), you cannot go on tv and get paid for showing your life and when asked a simple question: “Why was the trip to Morocco cancelled?” say “it’s private”. Damn it TLC, withhold their $$!

6.       Colt. A good indication that you are hated and in the wrong is when the other yahoo’s in the panel also look down at you and Andrei is the only dude on your side.  I mean even Trashley didn’t want to sit beside you.

7.       Nickle and Coltee and biggie a little bit more.

8.       Mother Chantel is sooooooooooooo freaking stupid.  Newton discovered gravity.  Einstein discovered the Theory of Relativity. But Chantel tried to shut her up before she even started on her bull crap.  Mother Chantel didn’t get the hint.  That’s Nicole level stupid.

9.       The tell all – told NOTHING.

Also forgot to mention that Coltee's mama Debbie- man oh man her shpeech impediment was a lot worsh thish week. I mean talk about shlurring the letter ESH!!!!

I really don't want this to be taken as a mean girls comment- it's more that I didn't notice it quite as much previously.

It was wasn't it!  I hadn't noticed it that much either.  I wondered if she'd had a stroke recently.  

[Chippings]

The unabashed pimping for 'Family Chantel' was really repulsive.  I have figured from watching the promos (which included old bits from previous fights &c) that TLC had to have said to these people "Do you think you can keep on fighting for, say, nine months or so?  'Cuz if you can, we can scrape another series out of this."  And the answer was "Why, Yes, we believe we can.  The possible future of this marriage, which will only survive with some serious calming down and probably frequent therapy, certainly takes second place to rehashing the same stupid fights and the glory of being stars on reality TV."

[doyouevengohere]

If TLC is going to continue to do tell alls where the couples show up and tell NOTHING new with the same host that asks nothing that we want to hear, then they need to understand the fans hate it.  A real tell all is inviting the friends and paying them to spill their guts.  Invite the barber shop, nicole's stepdad, libby's sisters and andrei's dad, roose's mom, pedro's co-workers and pedro's and ceair's  neighbors; pay them filthy absurd amounts to give us the real skinny on these losers.  Then bring out the couples and have them tell their side.  Or at least have a host that can ask hard questions.

Everytime it goes to a commercial, I say to myself, why am I watching this?  Can I snark about them if I am watching?  

These people are awful, except for Larissa's lawyer who is from my homeland. Accent gave it away.

Eric, oh my. Over the top. Not buying what he is selling. But A for effort.

Case of wine to whoever said debbie and coltee should be on sMothered. I will be haunted by them for eternity. 

Does that explain the lawyers bad grasp of the English language? As soon as he used a double negative and said ain't, I would have found a new lawyer. How can you be so educated and yet so ignorant? I am not claiming to be grammar perfect, but if a professional spoke to me like that, I would find a new professional. And, he knew he was being filmed and still spoke like that!

It's going to be impossible to find any woman who wants to live in that situation.

I think that’s Debbie’s goal.  

Yeah, Debbie, it’s obvious that you worked overtime to get rid of Larissa.   Unfortunately, you can’t erase her from Coltee’s mind.  

I loved it when Larissa said that the police were going to arrest Colt but then arrested her and didn’t know why.    We know why. 

Eric is 26 as much as I am.   Even if he’s gay and she not that into him, he’s still a step up from Coltee.  

Ashley, Jay cheated on you multiple times.  We get it.  Time to move on.  

Watching Pedro squirm while the clips of him in the DR played was delicious.  There is nothing he could say.   Chantel’s family may not have said they want Pedro gone but it’s obvious that they do.  

Family Chantel must have that PI on retainer.  

Colt was drunk during filming the tell all.  

Nichole looked good but still dumb.  

Pao still looks pregnant.

Larissa's new "boyfriend" along with the Family Chantel and the Family Pedro are all in this to be on TV and for the paycheck.  

And that's fine with me.  

Ashley needs to take several seats.  She groomed a child and now she's pissed.  I wonder how she'd feel if some older person from another country did the same to one of her kids.  

Could not agree more re Trashley. Whatever her teenage husband actually did, he has more than paid for, IMO.  And she groomed him, full stop. No sympathy for her whatsoever.

there are already enough iterations of this show, and by the looks of last night's ads, we're also getting "Before the 90 Days" pretty soon. I saw Darcy in that one. No way I'm wasting any time watching the family Chantel, or any further discussion of their past issues.

ETA:after Trashley called the police on Jay for no good reason, I was completely over her and her shite.

I was surprised by how cute Nicole looked. The shorter hair really suits her but she definitely needs to go on a diet and exercise regime, immediately. As someone up thread noted, "pleasingly plump" will do.

I will pull our my eyeballs before I watch the Family Chantel shit show. Every one of those people is loathsome and I hope this show bombs completely. Gross.

Blame it on the language barrier. She saw lots of hot young men and didn’t realize they were looking for other hot young men

Larissa does have a rather large Adam’s apple so maybe it wasn’t a mistake.

[Delete]

This wasn’t a tell all. It was a Chan-tel all.  Good lawd! Someone please  get that girl a mouth guard to help her unclench (perhaps a good laxative too).  She’s so stunningly dense. Everything about that family is cringeworthy. So much stupid; so little time.  And they  get a spin-off! That is cruel and unusual punishment even for TLC. Land of the Duggars, and home to Honey boo boo. 🤪🤮😢

Coltee. I had to rewatch his limp wrist water bottle throw several times. This is the most animated I’ve seen the dude. 

Nicole looked pretty, and she’s finally retired the cold shoulder blouses! Yah. Is she immature, stupid, and incredibly naive. Yes!  However, Azan is beyond a scumbag to be leading her on, and taking what little money she has, and emotionally abusing a young child by pretending to care, and be “daddy”.  That sociopathic. 

Pao’s lipstick choice made them look like ass of baboon. 

Roos, as ever, was charming, and vivacious. 😂

And-rrrrrreiiii was seething with anger as usual. He looked like he was going to bust out his little boy shirt, and bow tie, and hulk smash the entire set, and all that would remain would be steaming piles of silicone , lucite heels, and charred remains from weaves.

I agree. The stylist for the Tell-All needs to be put on retainer by Nicole, because every time they get ahold of her she looks great. I know she's lost a few pounds, too, and it looks good.

Nicole's hair and makeup were very flattering.  Her appearance actually looked "refined." (Never thought this was possible).  The dress and shoes simple and classic.  A respectful disagreement regarding her weight.  I saw no noticeable difference in that department.  However, my sense is that Nicole is OK with her weight.  The farce with azan goes on to give both of them some social media presence and potential income (without having to work).

The KJB says this is only for men, because woman was created from man's rib:

Quote

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

For women there's an alternate version:

Quote

And Eve said, Thanks for the rib, but things are about to get a lot more stupider, and by gravity falls and chicken feet: your sister is a bitch ass slut ass whore. 

Therefore shall a woman tell every detail to her father and his mother, and shall obey Mother and Sparky's commands: and husbands shall live in fear.

[Chippings]

Because we have the ability to juggle several topics at once, this:  Fairly early in the loo-ong two hours, there was a preview moment of the host saying to Azan "So what did you do with the $6000?" -   I assumed, naively, that this was a preview of something further down in this episode.  Because I was tuning in and out, I'm not sure if that part never was shown last night?   My impression now is that that exchange won't actually turn up til next week.

I'm sure it would have been much discussed if it had been shown, and he had made even a very sketchy answer.  I did see him answering about why they had not had a visit ("That's private so I won't say.")  But as to that money ??   Thank you to anybody with a stronger stomach than I, who stuck with the entire thing.

 Colt definitely gaslighted Larissa, who is a moron. I’ll give him this, he’s smart and plays people like a fiddle. I sort of enjoyed him playing with these awful people, who are mostly stupid and deserve to be baited. She needs to be deported because of her arrest record and instability. I kind of feel for her, being a middle aged woman trying to get by on her looks and nothing else, but we don’t need to import people like her. Plenty of others out there who deserve the spot.

Instability....I might buy but arrest record? Nope! 

The Metro Police in Vegas are not known for making the correct calls on DV calls. They get a DV call and ONE party is going to jail. It only depends on either who has the blood or who gives a better story. Here we would have had both Colt and Debbie accusing Larissa who is not fluent in the language.  More telling to me will be what happens when she is away from that household.

Clearly, the only Einstein Karen ever read was on a bagel menu. 

What in the everloving fuck was she going on about.  That was newton and her story had nothing to do with gravity.

Does she think she is some kind of beacon of maturity by trying to have her entire family confront a 20 year old?  By thinking that refusing to apologize makes her right about things?  Basically threatening people with a taser if they cross her? By taking off her rings and earrings so she can street fight a 20 year old?  

These are the things that make her an authority on the subject of maturity?

[sasha206]

Coltie has become a little too enamored of his reality show fame.  Larissa's new BF also to enamored with reality show fame.  He's at least much better looking than Colt, so if she has to fuck two weirdos to stay in this country, might as well be the new guy.  My God the spread on Coltie when he was on the couch.  

Pedro is just staying with Chantel for the reality TV money.   If there is any love in that union, I'd be surprised.  As much as Chantel loves to break bad about being disrespected, Pedro continues to disrespect her.  Meanwhile I hope he gets out of that marriage.  TV money isn't worth being with a shrew like her.

Nicole looked cute for Nicole.  She has lost a little weight. If she lost a lot of weight, she could be very pretty.  I wish she would give up the Azan ghost.
