Crikes this show with it's longer format is just wild.
Anny and Robert. Anny might be a gold digger but she doesn't pretend not to be. She came for a lavish lifestyle and Robert lied to her. Then he doesn't even try to fake the funk. He just pretends she should be worshiping him for having the privilege of being in America. This dude is a simp. He's not a simp for being broke. He's not a simp for being dumb. He's a simp for disrespecting this girl to her face and then getting angry when she fights back. He's a simp for saying anything to get the girl and then doing NOTHING to prepare for her. He wants to sleep in one tiny bed with him the kid and the new woman? Come on son. Get outta here with that nonsense. Who you trying to fool? A surprise shopping spree to the 2nd Hand Store? Who does that. Then he wants to go home and still get some adult play time? She should have held out on him. P.S. Has this man heard of parenting? He's treating his son like his drunk homey? "Ahh you just gotta wrestling him till he tires out"
Sidenote: in the 2nd hand store. this bald headed chick shows up to say hello. i mean i get why the producers told her to tell Anny it was a 2nd hand store because Robert was trying to pull a simp move and not tell her but why did she stay during the whole fight?
Mike and Natalie. A no gap couple which is always rare and an older woman which is even more rare even if she is a basic white girl with crazy eyes. Not much really happens with them so it's hard to have any feelings. He's going to spend money he doesn't have to cry about her visa delay of 6 months. that's sad. it's just 6 months. next time don't tell everyone you're leaving till you have the Visa in hand. My dude lost some poundage. he looks good. She's not that hot. She's in his league. But this city girl in the country isn't going to go well.
Sidenote: They wanted to make the lake blue..... were they dying it or chlorining it? Because the former is country and the 2nd is well better.
Mursel and Anna. On one hand they're a no gap couple and maybe TLC is just tired of picking up mormons finding random poor Brazilian girls. Whatever.This couple is stupid. They're so stupid that the fact that they real talks when they can't even communicate is just stupid. The three boys have to be kept a secret and I get why but i don't get why everyone is talking about it. They're in America they aren't going to move to Turkey. that's not MY imperialist tendencies that's every American on this show. She has three kids why would they uproot the kids and move to Turkey. Speaking of uprooting the kids. They're at delicate ages no mater the posturing and introducing a random guy to be their new step father in 90 days or less is insane. the constant passing of the phone back and forth. The racism against turks. the overly dramatic "discussions about hiding the boys".
Sidenote: They need to find a better app to talk. They need multiple phones. They need to learn farsi.
Michael and Juliana. Eww. Ewww. Ewwwwwwww. Everything about this couple is gross. Watching this dude make out with a 13 year old girl is disturbing. Watching him make out with a 13 year old prostitute is even worse. When they finally landed at his house. HOLY SNOT BUBBLES!!!! he's rich. he has a fleet of cars, he has a Brazilian prostitute buy a car on his spare credit card. he has a bunch of guitars. He looks like a pedo. WHY is his house a disaster? WTF is in his house? Why are there so many FexEx boxes in there? It's a disaster? Juilana acts like oh this is a bachelor hour but he has KIDS!!!! Two kids whoa are pretty charming actually. They're nice kids (as opposed to the baby Bryson). They don't deserve what the kids at school will say when they get older.
Sidenote: this man said they should do limo porn? He should be arrested for human trafficking. EWWwW. I repeat one last time Ewww. and I have small friends. I have one small friend who even looks young. Eww.
Emily and Sasha. It's very hard to feel sympathy for 3rd Wife Emily. She's so stupid. She can't learn ANY Russian. She's so stupid she had her baby in Russia rather than in America where the staff could probably understand what she's saying because her boyfriend is a meathead. She's so stupid. Emily is stupid. Emily is stupid. Emily is stupid. lol at Sasha "I normally work when my kids are born". Dude Russian men are like normal men they probably want to be there when their kids are born. Don't pretend dude. You're simple.
Sidenote: Sasha says the name is David. Emily says it's Daveed. Guys you're both stupid.
Tania and Syngin. Ok here we go. They inspired me to review this episode. WoW. Tania isn't ugly. She's a good looking girl. She's got a nice body and a pretty face. I actually like her ambition. Gun to my head: It's probably a touch too much for me. Maybe. But I respect her at least for knowing what she wants and being unafraid to say it. HOWEVER. I repeat HOWEVER. this episode is about babies. They have lunch with the friends before they go and they talk about babies. They have dinner afterwards and they talk about babies. This is why no one trusts these relationships. this is why marriage counselors exist. Maybe a shotgun wedding isn't the time to talk about babies[1]. Now dinner should have been their first romantic dinner in America. it should have been light and easy. they have 89 days to do the hard talks. but the producers were clearly very clever and got them to fight. Let's go through who was right and when.
Syngin is an idiot for wanting to talk about issues at dinner. you're a free love hippie. Enjoy the night stupid. +Tania
Syngin tried to do the math. "I want a kid in 3 years" "so I'll have to impregnate in pause to do math" "well i mean like 3 and a half" dude she didn't literally mean 3 years. Chill. +Tania
Syngin: You can't just say yes or no if you want to have a baby -- Tania: Ask me the question right now | +Syngin. You live in the shed of your mother's house.
Dear Tania, I respect you want to start your family but you have to be clear if you want the family life or the travel life. It's not so easy to do both when you have no prospects. Syngin is right here that you need to step back and think about what you really want and what you're willing to give up for it. this conversation proves everything i said about this man when i saw him. He's a hippie. He'd rather have no kids for a while and travel than have kids right away and not be able to do anything. Ironically he's thinking it through. Tania continually gets angry at this but it's what she should want in a partner. Not a lapdog, but a man willing to process what having a baby means. This is not a guy who is going to cut and run. We'll get back to the rest of what Tania needs to know as we go through the list.
Syngin: I don't think she gets that a child can make or break you. +Syngin | for all her Type A personality I haven't heard any sort of plan on how she plans to support the child. No talk of making partner in the next year so she'll be set when the kid comes. No plans for Syngin to join a lawfirm so he can work to support them. Nothing. Just "i want a kid".
Syngin: You alk about travel and I don't see how that's possible with a child on your hip +Syngin | Now this requires some explanation because Tania misunderstands the pronoun. Maybe she hasn't spoken to many foreigners but it is very clear when he uses "your hip" he's not specifically talking about Tania being obligated to carry the child. He uses the collective your but she reads it wrong and she gets off at what she thinks is a sexist comment. I see why she did that but she was wrong. Syngin wasn't being sexist here. He was trying to talk reality hardships. He even tries to clarify it but she's already seeing red, too late for her and he's not emotionally aware enough to know how to break her from that.
Tania: No one ever asks the man that question so don't ask me that question Syngin: I think you're overreacting now. | +Tania The irony is that Syngin is right here. He's 100% in the right. But his response is in poor taste and shows he doesn't respect her enough to understand why she's upset.
Tania: Shoot for the sky, land on the moon. That's what I'm doing. | +Syngin Tania is being foolish here. Honestly earlier she said she would pick her friends over Syngin and she picked right. Her friends know her. Her friends called this fight to. a. tee. She needs to listen to her friends more. Her friends are dope. They see her acting irrationally and this is an example. First off the saying is shoot for the stars or sun and land on the moon. And key to that is preparing to land among the stars. She's shooting from the hip and that's a bonus Syngin point.
Tania: It takes planning, responsibility, commitment-- Syngin: Money. | +2Syngin.
Tania: Maybe we'll have a job you don't like to do, but I'm willing to do that so i have the life i want to live.... Syngin: For me to step in and even for six months for a job that I hate is a tremendous task for me.| +1 Syngin. In life you have to pick. Do I want to struggle at my job so I can reap rewards with what the job pays me? Or do I want to enjoy my job so I don't need the job to pay me for rewards. Most people pick the first. But it's perfectly valid to pick the second and Tania here is invalidating Syngin's entire lifestyle to fit her needs. It's wrong.
Syngin: Don't come at me. stay on subject. | +Tania A pitty vote because honestly her problem IS Syngin. It's not the subject.
Syngin: It's almost like you wrote the story, and I'm just a character in it. |+4Syngin There's a lot of modern narrative that tells women they can do everything they want without a man and use man like men use women. But they shouldn't. It's .. in a word unkind. She's being very unkind right now and he captured it perfectly here. When he dismissed her emotional outburst at the beginning I was very much not in favor of him but throughout the fight it's been made clear that Tania is the one in need of self reflection. They're a horrible match and she needs to see that and kick him to the curb, send him home.
Tania: Babe, really? | +Syngin
Syngin: You're not willing to change any aspect a little bit, maybe to accomodate me? Tania: I am, having kids later in life than i would have had them on my own | +Syngin whatever I think of him in general I think he's really trying to have a conversation here. I think it's a stupid conversation to have on day 1 but regardless he's trying to get through and find some way to work out this relationship. Tania is trying to get Syngin on board with her plan. Two very different tasks and as a result Tania isn't having a discussion. She's having a debate that she intends to win at all costs. Contrary to the next words out of her mouth she doesn't take his opinion seriously. I mean I have opinions about her desires for motherhood at a young age but that's her choice. I respect that more than she respects her fiance.
Sidenote: She spelled "Your Suger" on the printed out sign last episode. My sister thinks Suger is her last name but nah. I think she misspelled sugar.
