Where do they find these people? An unstable woman who calls herself a witch, a guy that lives in an unstable place with no private bathroom, a unstable woman buying butt implants instead of a wedding dress, a guy who was lied to about dating an unstable trans woman, a guy that lives with his unstable mom who lives in a closet?!? Is the world this unstable or is this just TLC getting desperate for content? I feel sorry for all these people…

    Well, yes, the world is full of unstable people. It has only gotten worse year after year and especially after Covid. Also ask yourself : why would a normal, stable couple sign up for this show?

      Considering they barely pay anyone to be on the show, the only benefit for the participants is some sort of fame. That’s why you get these clout chaser wanna be influencers. Normal people need not apply.

        I agree with you they’re 100% paid, it can’t be that much trouble. People swear that I love these participants or former participants, seem to all have really nice homes downtown with really nice I agree with you they’re 100% paid, it can’t be that much, people swear that I have these participants or former participants, seem to all have really nice homes downtown with really nice furniture and bedrooms, yet amazingly enough, all of the background looks the same.

    If every relationship were Kenny and Armando, people wouldn’t watch. They want the train wreck. I too wish they’d show healthy, positive relationships more often but that doesn’t make for good television. I spend more time talking about the messed up situations like Nikki with my friends because it’s so far out there. No one is bringing up the good relationships in conversation.

      I had that exact thought this morning while watching Kenny and Armando. They are so lovely, I want to be like them, but if they weren’t followed by Sarper and Holly I would feel bad(der) about myself.

        YES! It is good to see a mature couple relationship but it is also fun to watch the trainwrecks!!

      Kenny and Armando are my all time faves. They have a really healthy relationship. When they do get into the occasional “argument”, it is realistic… like Kenny being worried about being too old to raise a new born.

    Ordinarily I do understand that they need interesting characters. But I’m with you. Suddenly instead of being entertaining and hilarious, it’s just not. I’m just feeling pissed and aggrivated at the stupidity, the entitlement and even sometimes the cruelty and abuse. TLC keeps spinning out new stuff and it’s starting to feel desperate and contrived and overdone. I’m out.

      Personality, all the surgery, the constant need to be flashy huge ballon ass, constant need for sex, which isn’t surprising since she is a he.

        She is not a “he.” She was assigned male at birth. She is female. She identifies as female. Gender is not tied to your genitalia. Get it through your thick skull. And trans people do not have any more constant a need for sex than anyone else, you transphobic idiot.

      Nikki is really driving Justin/Igor nuts. She’s mad all the time. She’s threatened to leave 10 times. I don’t know why Justin/Igor stays with her when she won’t dress differently which makes his life easier, and safer. Won’t try to impress his parents. He’s not attracted to her, but she wants him 24/7.

      The bar for the minimum income to sponsor someone is kinda low like $20K/yr.

    That’s why I’m enjoying Devin and Nick. Yes they need to learn how to eat with their mouths closed, but they at least seem fairly stable and genuinely in love. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Well those are the people that want to be on TLC for money and potential “fame”. Most self respecting people who are doing well in life wouldn’t want to be on TLC now after they see how people get exploited
