Sure you are.

She seems great now. It is unfortunate however that she has done lasting damage to Brandon and his life — it is not difficult to see how his troubled upbringing has led him to this toxic relationship with Mary and a tough road ahead in the Philippines.

100%. I am convinced that he might actually hate her. He looks like he’s doing her a favor by being there.

It is not equivalent. Assuming that what TJ’s family is doing is common amongst Indians is the same as assuming that most Americans don’t have indoor bathrooms since Rob does not. That is an apt comparison of how truly unusual and weird TJ’s family is.

Comparing it to the obesity epidemic in the US is an apples to oranges comparison, particularly since your mention of viral street food videos indicates that you actually have not been to India, meaning you are not really qualified to make a comparison.

Which “rosé” is this? Bruh, stop spreading misinformation, India worked on an actual vaccine during COVID.

Most Indian Hindus do not “worship” cows. We just do not eat them. We treat them (but also most animals, given that vegetarianism is encouraged by Hinduism) with kindness and respect.

But no sane person is doing anything with cow urine or poop. TJ’s family is psycho, even by Indian standards.

I would also say that this show attracts the lowest common denominator in any culture—are all American men and women like Gino, Big Ed, or Angela? Do American homes not have indoor bathrooms like Rob?

No offense but any successful middle to upper class Indian man would NOT want an American woman like Jenny, Jen, or Kim, so it unsurprising that these Indian men are trash. Much like you cannot expect someone like Gino to attract the cream of the crop either.

All those things could easily be attributed to the culture, and might be by a foreign audience viewing the same show.

This is highly unusual for even Hindu Indians and anyone who is actually Indian would know that. Other than Jains (which TJ is not), no one avoids onion and garlic — evidence: just look up ingredients for the most popular Indian dishes — unless it’s a religious holiday or something. And no one is bringing poop, cow or otherwise, into their home like that.

Thank you for posting this.

I am also Indian(-American but have spent years in India), and can confirm that TJ’s family is extreme and very, very religious.

I don’t even know any religious Hindus who follow the onion/garlic rule unless it’s literally a holiday (I mean, look up most Indian food which includes copious amounts of both those ingredients!), let alone doing anything with cow urine.

I just cannot with this couple but they do amuse me.

I think once you start the slippery slope of “maybe I can fix this one thing…” it becomes harder and harder to stop at just one thing because there’s always another minor imperfection to fix. And before you know it, you’re at Darcy status because you don’t have stable enough self esteem to know when to stop.

That is insane but also Noon and Kyle were an iconic couple. I rooted so hard for them because their love was so pure and real. I miss those old days of 90DF when the relationships were actually genuine.

In all fairness, Myla was not a planned pregnancy. And Jovi candidly admitted that he would have never proposed to Yara had she not gotten pregnant the first time (when she later miscarried before their 90 days began).

I get the sense that Jovi fell into both this marriage and pregnancy. I think the entire second kid discussion is less about Jovi wanting more kids/a traditional family life, and more about keeping Yara trapped at home, while he does whatever the fuck he wants while on his work trips.

She looks so much older than 47, but I also think having a ton of cosmetic surgeries and procedures can age a person tremendously.

Rob is such a big loser. This man does not even have an indoor bathroom and wants to cheat on top of that? Ridiculous.
