Reality tv Week of 7/13-7/30

[Jalapeñomel]

90 Days was a doozy yesterday.

How come now one is thinking about how Asuelu was ripped from his island and basically asked to assimilate to life here in like two weeks? I get it, he has kids and needs to step up, but they aren’t thinking about how disruptive this was.

Also, there’s nothing “manly” about a person threatening violence to get his way with another person. I don’t care if your Kalani’s dad, you don’t get to take about beating up Asuela as if that’s the right thing to do.

What’s wrong with Larissa’s ex-boyfriend that he’d be remotely interested in taking her back after she put a restraining order out on him??? Also she looks like the Joker.

I’m glad Alexei and Loren are back on Pillow Talk!

There’s something wrong with Angela. She’s willingly leaving her dying mother to marry a dude in Nigeria? Michael isn’t gonna stay with her one day after he’s got that green card.

And Libby and Andrei—-Andrei has shown his true personality the entire time. None of this should surprise you. None.

Also Paul embarrasses the shit out of Karine in the store. And the fact that Paul thinks a shithole trailer would be better than her home in Brazil is what is wrong with Americans. She wasn’t a filthy disgusting slob, and it’s insulting to even think that it was better than he home.

Also Syngin and his partner won’t make it. They had too much to work through that they ignored before they got married.

[Jalapeñomel]

I’m really starting to think about this Kalani/Asuelu situation and the shit they’re giving this man. He went from like another world to here...island life in Samoa , I would imagine, is much different than Mormon Utah. No one has thought about how this man has given up everything he has ever known to come to the US. Literally,EVERYTHING. Not a single person in her family has ever, not once, taken this into account. Not one.

[Jalapeñomel]

Ok, I’ve also watched 90 Day the Other Way.

Brittany and Yazan are such MUD. There’s no way she did this for anything but to be on TV. It’s like they aren’t even trying to be somewhat real.

[marvine]

Yes, Brittany and Yazan have to be fake. She had to know they would want her to cover her hair and marry him right away. I feel bad for Deavan, but Ji Hoon has been like this since she met him.

[cleo29]

I am always surprised Kalani's dad is not more understanding of Asuelo. And I don't think many on this show ever show empathy at what the one spouse has given up to be with them in America. It is astounding. I also think when you are the odd man/woman out, it seems to me that the person being more defensive would be expected. I don't love Andrie, but he never stood a chance with her family and I think his attitude becomes that much worse when around her family. And it is surprising because his brother seems nice and his dad is very sweet.

Synjin should never have come here, especially for the K-1. He is no way at a point of wanting to settle down. Also, the way he talks with hands drives me crazy.

Yes Andrei is who he is, and has never pretended to be anything else. I definitely think he gets defensive at the mere mention of Libby’s family, because they never bothered to get to know him. Outside of google Moldova, I’m sure they know nothing about culture, customs, etc. and they shouldn’t just get mad at Andrei being who he is. They should be mad at Libby for picking a partner who doesn’t share the same values.

[texasharleygirl]

Can I just say that I Love Armando and Kenny. They are so cute together.

Brittnay and Yasman is just MUD. That's all I can say about that.


I started binge watching sMothered and I am on season 2. I just sit there and smdh.

Southern Charm peeps -- TRav had a son with some other chick, born this week with a former girlfriend.

It’s annoying that the shows I watch are on Sunday and Monday.

[jezebel]

Anybody watching the new MAFS? I like the nerdy couple.

Yes! I talked about them in last week’s thread, but I think they’re the only one with a decent chance. And one of the couples I felt they just put together for drama, because there’s nothing they have in common at all.

I saw that. He is so disgusting it baffles me that women find him desirable.

[Jalapeñomel]

There’s a new show on Netflix called Indian Matchmaking , and it’s really fun. The matchmaker is clever and funny!

[fivechickens]

Denise is driving me crazy on RHBH. She is really trying to make herself look wholesome. Trying a little too hard.

She doesn’t want anyone talking about threesomes when there are children at her party (who knows if they are even paying attention) but she has no problem talking about the size of their step dads penis and how she got and she wanted him to get a happy ending after a massage ON TV. A show her two oldest probably watch.

Wtf

[Jalapeñomel]

Aparna is very difficult and unpleasant. Nadia is an amazing catch, and I don’t understand any man who would stand her up.

[Jalapeñomel]

Also, let’s watch the boring Labor of Love woman pick Kyle tonight.

I don’t like any of these couples. I think this season was all about drama, no one stands a chance.

I hope that Bennett and his partner make it. Brett should’ve been stopped by the experts before they got married. I think it’s mean and cruel of them to let it continue.

Also, matching someone who doesn’t want kids with someone who does? Come the fuck on.

Woody just wants his 15 minutes.

Miles is the only one I like, I feel bad for him.  I hope Brett's wife runs fast!!

Was this week’s episode the finale for Dirty John/Betty Broderick?

Not the OP, but I watched and then watched the old dateline and the oxygen special (which was terribly done imo). I might need to read the book.

Yes. Didn’t love it. Still think the LMN movies were a lot better.

No! I was going to watch today but our internet has been down alllll day (I have Sling). I’m going to watch as soon as it’s working again.

How about RHONY? It was actually kind of a funny episode after Lu left. I am getting a little tired of them being drunk non-stop this season. Leah is a particularly obnoxious drunk. I understand her mom’s concern.

I love RHONY. It’s brilliant because, even if you don’t “like” the NY women, you like them. They are hilarious and charismatic even when being awful lol. It’s just quality entertainment every time! I definitely think it’s the best HW franchise.

RHOBH needs to be completely revamped, on the other hand. It’s boring and they try to drag out some minor thing for the entirety of the season targeting one person. Erika and Teddy have the personalities of a box of rocks, and Rinna might be the worst person ever. She posted that the reunion was “bullshit” after they filmed, so that probably means I’ll like it.

Leah is a terrible drunk. Just really, really annoying and sometimes destructive. I think what people fail to understand when it comes to alcohol, you don't have to be physically dependent on it to have a drinking problem. You can simply not tolerate it well and I think Leah falls into that category. She reverts back to an annoying drunk teenager.

I agree with what you said about RHONY. It’s the only one I still watch. I love it so much. I think Leah is a great addition and I like elyse too.

I do think Dorinda needs to leave. She is really hard to watch. I was laughing this week at Lu reverting back to the Lu we all know.

Edit to add: I live for Sonja eating during all the drama this season.

[thelurkylulu]

RHONY is the only housewives franchise I still watch. They are so out of touch, yet so funny to watch, and the casting is fantastic.

Leah is a train wreck when she’s drunk but she makes me laugh.
