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?

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”?
I understand some of it is scripted. But the whole Libby family takes it to the next level.
When Charlie keeps going in on Andrei. Talking about his country being a communist country, his food as peasant food, him traveling from Ireland to get to America (delulu much), him trying to take advantage of his family, etc. screams xenophobia and ignorance. It’s so uncomfortable watching them. It’s the typical patriotic American that sees foreigners as the type to steal your jobs.
Ugh. They’re an awful family. Pretty judgmental for morons with mugshots
It happens. When I met my MIL for the first time she asked me if my family plays cards. Huh? She explained, that they bought their house from jews and they had played cards. Ok. She then remarked that I look like Barbra Streisand (I do not). Clearly, I was the first jewish person she’d ever met. When she met her future granddaughter in law she repeatedly asked her where she was from. I finally whispered to the poor girl; “she wants to know the origin of your brown skin.” Everyone in this story was american.
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
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?
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?
