When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

well yea the show wouldn't be as entertaining if it wasn't mostly delusional idiots and scammers

Oh that's definitely true in a lot of cases, I just find it super funny that we often meet a character from loving nowhere getting all worked up about somebody trying to sneak in and live the good life. If I'm in Sequim Washington, I'm just happy somebody is moving to town, you know what I mean?

90 day fiance the other way is great, the latest one where the LA fashion lady goes to marry some ultraconservative guy in Egypt without realizing he'll demand she wear a hijab, then discovering that not all Egyptians are like this when she meets the yoga lady and she just happened to pick a guy from the most conservative neighborhood in Cairo and now she's debating just going back to the US

gotta wonder why people do this poo poo to themselves lmao (prolly to get on tv I know but still). Oh! the guy in India who is "waiting for the right moment" (over three years) to tell his family he is engaged to an American lady while they are actively looking for a wife for him in an arranged marriage

The indian guy is engaged to an american lady who is like 25 years older than him and his mom gives her the stinkeye like 100% of the time they're in the same room, it owns

This isn't really a highlight of the show or anything but it is something lodged like a splinter in my brain, there is an episode where Asuelu is trying to impress his family and his fiancee and takes them on a fancy date to a food truck. He walks up to order and just says, "give me the best of the besssst". That's the whole order. He walks away with what looks like 15 orders of onion rings and poo poo iirc.

I havent seen every season so maybe there is a literal weed dealer, but I feel like this describes at least 5 different couples on the show

Definitely the earlier ones. It gets to be diminishing returns when they start trying to affix a formula to it so I'd say start at 1 and stop when you hate yourself

this is true of all reality shows, they're good until the producers figure out whatever maximizes viewership and then it sucks. like restaurant impossible was great until they decided to turn it into family therapy hour lol.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

don't stop until you've met the trump woman and big ed

this season has the insane 67 year old woman who dresses like a cartoon villain becoming absolutely shocked that the weird freakshow ‘artist’ guy she met online when he was like 22 and who paints as well as a five-year old was scamming her for a green card all along

The show is extremely uneven, so feel free to skip stuff. The 90 day audience demands couples they can root for, which means you get some real boring stuff in there, and the people making the show also like to keep people on waaay after they stop being interesting. If you're not feeling something, there's so much more where that came from.
