This is my opinion and I understand being concerned for your loved one or wanting clarity on a certain situation. But to flat out ask personal, disrespectful, and accusatory questions as soon as you sit down at Chili’s to meet for the first time, it’s wrong and unfair. It’s like some of these American families don’t think that the new fiancé is a person with feelings just like them. They’re already on edge because they’re meeting their fiancés family and they’re a country away from their own family, why interrogate them? It just sets a negative tone for the new relationship. And then the American fiancé just sits back and let’s it happen?

Since it happens with every couple, it’s prob a requirement for the show: ok, we need a scene where someone questions your intentions. Do you have a friend or family member you can call?
100% agree, it’s a very bad look and makes me cringe everytime
Pretty sure his family was pre-loaded with those questions…
Possibly…. But living in rural Texas, I’ve met plenty of people that say things like his family
Yeah, it’s pretty harsh, but the producers totally set up these scenes.
Yeah for sure. I’m a new watcher so I didn’t pick up on that but after reading these responses it’s so painfully scripted 🤦🏽♀️
I know Aseleu is the ‘bad guy’ now but Kalani’s family was brutal to him from the day he landed. Her Father always threatening to beat him up. That’s so lame.
Yet, when Kalani called her Dad about getting a divorce, he told her to stay with him ‘for the kids’. He probably wants them to stay together because HE’S financially responsible for him…not Kalani. She wasn’t working. 🙄
They all made fun of him for selling yogurt. Why didn’t Kalani get off her butt and find a job?
This was my post form the live thread the other night:
When they shoot the friends & family scenes do you think there’s an argument about who is going to be the one that says “How do I know he/she is not here for the green card”?
It’s contrived by production.
Yes, and also creative editing.
It’s easy to chop up someone’s sentence so something like, “You always hear about these romance scams where foreigners are using someone for a green card, but I can see how much you two love each other” ends up as “you always hear about these foreigners using someone for a green card” paired with a shot of the foreigner awkwardly staring (that might have been filmed 20 minutes prior to this conversation).
It’s also been confirmed that they film shots of everyone sitting at the table without talking, then splice them into a dinner conversation to make it look like an awkward silence or like one of the friends/family members dislikes something.
