I don’t think anyone would be able to tell she’s trans. It’s either the extreme plastic surgery or the camera that they’re staring at. She looks better than the average patient on Botched. If she thinks she’s getting copped and outed, it’s because she’s being filmed in public, and in a conservative Soviet country.
It’s obvious that Geno and Jasmine are playing it up for ratings, but Nikki seems legitimately insane. No man will sleep with a woman who acts like a teenage boy and begs for sex every ten seconds. If the catch isn’t satisfying, you don’t want the fish.
They handled Gabe respectfully enough, but TLC’s portrayal of Nikki seems offensive and stereotypical.
I knew she was trans the moment they introduced her. Or at least highly suspected it. I think it’s pretty obvious.
I think she’s very insecure. Anyone that takes 3 hours to get ready isn’t happy with the way they look. And she wears over the top makeup and clothes. I also think she suspects that the reason Igor doesn’t want to sleep with her is because he’s found out she’s trans. They’d slept together before when he didn’t know, so I think that’s true.
