Reality TV 12/10

[Jalapeñomel]

I’m watching the Welcome to Plathville, and it just kills me how much they are stifling Moriah.

90 Day Fiancé: every week I just want to smack Sasha, but moreso, I want to smack his wife who thinks she’s changed him for the better.

Yes to both. Also, I am really annoyed with how much parents put their own experiences onto their kids. Maybe you regret some of the things you did in college, but your kids won't. And honestly, I think we need some regrets and hurts in our lives to help us grow and learn as people. Keeping your children in some stupid bubble will do them more harm in the long run.

Annie on this 90 day deal is a pill. He needs to drop her. Sasha is a dope and so is she for thinking he will suddenly change because he is with her.

And the whole Mursel situation is annoying. I cannot, truly, cannot imagine if my mom had married a man that we did not like. I know eventually we would not have been in the house, but she would still be my mom and very much in our lives. I get it, it sucks to be single and not wanting to go through life without a partner, but I think if you have kids you should hopefully end up with someone your kids like, especially if they are young enough that they will be living with this person.

I have said this before, but I hate it when these situations involve kids. I think it is asking a lot for a young child to just accept a person who is pretty much a stranger into their homes and their lives.

The Plaths are just setting up theirs kids to rebel. The third oldest daughter is the only one of the older kids to not feel chafed. Ethan is a man-child due to his stunted childhood. He’s lucky that Olivia finds his naïveté endearing. It would annoy the hell out of me.

Murcel seems so disengaged. I understand that the language difference is overwhelming, as are the cultural differences, but come on! I do feel for the older two boys. I think the youngest would have accepted him if he hadn’t been influenced by Joey and Geno. Though, I do think that Joey, the oldest, was set against Murcel from the start. The news that Murcel is keeping the boys a secret from his family would be hard for me to handle.

If Angela was freaking out about the Botox injections, how is she going to handle the potential injections and blood draws for her side of IVF? It’s not as much as stimming for eggs, but she’ll still have to do some. I think it’s going to be a shock for Michael to be thrown into a child care role for her grandchildren. He’s used to just doing his own thing. And if he doesn’t do things to Angela’s standards, he’s going to hear about it!!

Juliana is coming to realize the power imbalance in their relationship. It’s got to be scary for her. She comes from so little. I hope he doesn’t screw her.

I can’t believe Tania left Sinjun for a third of their time together. I think he’s having doubts already. This will not be good for them. And unfair for him.

Blake and his fiancé from Finland? She’s awful. I wonder why she doesn’t go stay with her sister who supposedly lives only ten minutes away. The whole situation seems weird. And it appears, to me, that she is after a green card.

Below Deck—Kate is all pissy because Brian was honest with her. She can be funny but she is a bitch. She needs some self-awareness. I’m looking forward to seeing the Captain’s dressing down of the crew.

NomadicMama, I thought his reaction was bit strong, but when he said he hated the term, she should have stopped or at least asked why he hates it. I think Kevin is a prick and was getting everyone stirred up for no reason. Go back to cruise ships.

Tanner is an asshole talking about Simone and the fact the none of the other guys get why the women are put out is kind of astounding. You all work together and live together in a small space. They know you hooked up, stop sharing the fucking details. I was so angry watching all of that. Also, i do not get Tanner's appeal. Brian I get. lol

And I agree about Synjin. I don't care of Tonia at all and I think he is realizing their relationship will be on her terms if they stay together.

[cleo29]

Also, I thought Anna was married before, so why are are kids something to be hidden?

Even if she was I'm sure he's hiding that from his family too.

True. it feels like they are implying she was never married and thus the boys are born out of wedlock. Either way, i don't see this ending well at all.

I liked Tanner until last night. He is a Bradley Cooper lookalike but his personality sucks. Kate was acting so pouty at the beach club all day like she's above everyone. I get that she may not have a ton in common with the younger people- I think she's in her late 30s if I'm not mistaken but come on! Way to go Brian! I do think the chef is way too controlling and real dick so I kinda don't blame her for butting heads with him.

I hope Anna doesn't marry Mursel. I doubt his family even knows she's been married before. At first I thought they were going to be the cutest couple but they can't even communicate with each other and something is off with him.

How can Anna marry a guy she can’t even talk to?

Sinjin is a good man to stay alone in a country where he knows no one, doesn’t know the politics of the land, and is living with his GF’s family. That’s A LOT.

Michale is after the green card. No way he stays with Angela who will never be able to have a baby for a multitude of reasons one of which is the expense of IVF while paying/caring for 6 grandkids and who knows how many of her children.

Why is Angela still supporting her grown daughter?

I believe she works as a nursing assistant, which they obviously aren't rolling in the dough.
You have to be over a certain percentage of the poverty line to get the K-1 visa unless you have a sponsor, so I presume she's above that threshold. But yeah it doesn't seem like she would have a ton of money. She's a hot mess.
