I’m sure some are already aware of this, but please do not assume that all Indian families are like TJ’s. Wiping a pan with a cloth that was previously used for wiping cow dung is considered filthy, disgusting, and unhygienic by all Hindus I know including my own family. Don’t get me wrong, there are some families in specific castes who may do this because they’re still living in the fourth century, but the majority definitely, definitely don’t. One of my old coworkers would always make fun of India and asked me if I drink cow urine. I was so offended by this and furious with him for asking me such a disrespectful question, but after watching this episode and the awful way they represent India, I realized he asked because he must’ve been watching something similar. Seriously, please don’t assume that all or even any Indians commit practices like this 🤦‍♀️

    I think most of us assumed this was just this family being whacko, and not a normal thing.

    Kimberly gets on my nerves but her reaction was perfect….she just got quiet and her eyes got big and she yelled “TJ!!!” I died.

    TJ’s family doesn’t exactly come from money

    It’s all an act. Kimberly and TJ are only in it for the fame. I don’t watch when they’re on. Most of the couples are fake these days on 90 day.

    I assumed this was a forgetful old lady thing. When my grandmother was starting to show her dementia symptoms she would forget things like that. My sister ended up moving in with her to do basic things like cooking and cleaning because she just couldn’t figure out how to do them anymore.

    I believe you. Even TJ himself was grossed out.
