They said early on in this season that she lived in India for a year before deciding to move there permanently to be with TJ. Did people not see where she said that the things she chose for the apartment construction were not what she picked out before she left? Why is everyone saying she should have researched the culture? I’m pretty sure living there for a year can equal to doing some research on the internet.
The things she has chosen may not be possible in the particular case. When one is on a budget and craftsmen are limited, a compromise must be made.
That, that she lived there and doesn’t understand the culture and has unrealistic expectations is no excuse - quite the opposite.
