I'm pretty curious what Aladdin's end game is dating that thirsty fat hag. Given they're staying in Qatar I'm assuming he'd be unable to get a green card out of it, she must have catfished the gently caress out of him.

The private eye milf on the other hand is pretty cute, I feel bad that she'll probably never be heard from again after a few weeks with the crazy eyes Tunisian guy.

My favorite online fan theory is that she accused Aladdin of being a two pump chump to fend off other women.

But micro penis Coltee still had fan girls so whatever

Tiny wangs, broken wangs, and two-pump-chumpies are what fuels patriarchal societal structures in general. If Aladdin is into Wahhabism or gets driven into it by her dildo purchase then we, as TLC viewers, and her, as a dork, are in for a ride.

Never underestimate the power of people just wanting to gently caress someone from off of TV.

Also I bet half of the appeal of the fangirls trying to ride Coltees tiny hog, is to be able to laugh about it/him with their friends afterwards.

The mormon woman got her LA born and raised ex-con husband to visit Utah, then all her friends immediately tried to get him to join the Church, then she stole his ID and debit card so he couldn't leave

Oh nice so that couple might actually start getting interesting. I binged the ‘proper’ episodes in a few days (both seasons) but Life is still a drag. Maybe I should skip a few episodes if it’s starting to heat up. Season 3 now!!

I just started watching love after lockup. Watching season 1 on Hulu US. I love Lamar so far, but I'm shocked that he would go for a Mormon woman.
The Canadian couple is boring as hell, though. I fast forward through their scenes. Does that storyline get any good?

Well, that's easy for you to say. You have a bad imagination. It's stupid. I live in a fantasy world.

Season 2 Episode 4 (around minute mark 14) -family ties Hulu

Darcy's all "asleep" in her bed when jerky Amsterdam guy comes in.

And my wife (former costumer in the theater) is all, "Yeah, it makes sense to go to bed with a full face of makeup and appear to be false eyelashes."

And I (former filmmaker) am all, "With a film crew in the room with her."

and then a boom shadow passes over her face..

The best scenes are always him scurrying around town in his bullet-proof vest and survival gear with the locals looking bewildered. And then the following conversation with karine after his job search fail:

"Pole, did you make college?"
:downs: " I went to college.. For a little bit. I studied sign language and Spanish"
*laughs* "do you speak any Spanish?"

They don't make it past the season, I believe

I think the ones that stick around from season 1 are Clint & Tracy ("mah goddess" guy) and Scott & Lizzie (the guy who's bankrupted himself sending her money in jail).

I tried to look this up, by the way, and the show somehow doesn't have a wiki page. It's that trashy.

Pedro geeking out over horses and American cowboy culture makes this entire spin-off show worth it. The man just needs some happiness and we need to see that the man is capable of smiling

Also Thomas seems less terrible without Mama Chantel, and Mama Chantel seems much worse without Thomas.

Out here, everything hurts.





I've never watched this show, but just went through a bunch of the thread and watched some clips, and the entire thing just seems off. It's not simple or quick to go through the K1 visa process, and it requires a butt-load of documentation proving that there is a relationship with actual physical visits to the person in the other country (there are some exceptions for religious or financial hardship reasons, but those come with their own relationship documentation requirements).

How do some of these people end up getting through the entire process with both Department of Homeland Security and the State Department when they don't really know each other and clearly haven't developed a relationship prior to the visa? It's really strange to me.

The description of her as a party girl, the dramatic reversal by embracing a conservative form of Islam, and the way she talks about it. There's a moment when she says she wants "to just forget... everything that happened," and she looks away while she struggles for how to phrase it. Not "what I've done," or "those days," but a slightly sinister admission that something really bad went down.

It seems like her conversion is partly based on the appeal of enforced modesty and chastity, like she's protecting herself from a future assault. We live in a world of victim-blaming, so I wouldn't at all be surprised if a teenage girl who has been sexually assaulted blamed herself because "she was asking for it," "she put herself in that situation," etc. Some people react to that kind of trauma by overcorrecting, like stop socializing all together to avoid a situation that even hints at the possiblity of another assault. In Avery's case, she's gone all-in on a sex-negative culture, which incidentally or not, also abstains from alcohol. It seems like it's an about-face that lets her leave her past behind and make a clean break, and it's easier than confronting what happened, let alone confiding in her family and friends and facing their disappointment or possible blame.

Also I'm like one of those cancer-detecting dogs, but for PTSD.

I really think this is correct. I knew a girl who converted to Islam for many of the same reasons (plus, she was having an affair with a married, Moroccan professor of hers.) In my friend's case, it actually did help her develop a framework and context for her life. She also didn't run off to loving Syria like goddamn Caro.
