at the end each mommas boy got to pick 2 girls to go to the virgin islands and their mom got to pick one girl as well.

robbie and esther
esther picks lauren- her obvious #1 choice all show.
rob picks Camillia- esther couldnt have been more icy to camilla, as she wants a jewish girl for rob.
rob then picks amber who declines his invite as she likes micheal.
rob then picks nikki- barely noticed her all season

micheal and lorraine
micheal picks erica- much to his moms delight
lorraine then picks amber- so ambers move paid off
micheal then calls down meghan and michelle and picks.....meghan. bye bye michelle.

jojo and mrs b
jojo calls missy over and tells her it wont work out since she was disrespectful to his mom. then basically kisses his moms butt and says she is more important than any girl.
jojo then picks julie- who?
jojo then picks mindy- the southern charmer, she is very emotional
then mrs b stands before the rest of the girls with the last ticket and says none of the girls are worthy of her jojo and tears up the last ticket.

next week it looks like erica confesses her secret to micheal.

I would rather stick hot pokers in my eye than have Jojo's mom for a mother-in-law.

This seemed too set up for me. When jojos mom goes in the helicopter to spy on his date with missy, she gets all irate and what not.
Then when she gets back to the mansion she goes and sits by maesha and camilla to get consoled. How convenient for tv.

This was dreadful. Mama JoJo is the worst actress ever and she didn't make any sense at all. Her explanation why she wasn't a racist was like some stream of consciousness from someone strung out on LSD.

This could have been fun, but it's turned into one big bore.

Oregonguy, I just caught the show #3 from Dec. 29th. I believe Julie is the only girl who bothered to make Mrs.B's Arabic dish.

I found this:

... snip ....
The Christian minorities in Iraq today are among the oldest in Christendom. They make up about 6% of the population numbering fewer than one million out of a population of 17 million. They consist of two main groups:

1. The Catholics (650,000)

A. Chaldean Rite: more than 600,000 with one patriarch (Babylon in Baghdad); four archdioceses (Kirkuk, Mosul, Basra & Arbil; and five dioceses (Alqosh, Amadijah, Aqra, Sulaimaniya & Zakhu)
B. Syrian Rite: more than 47,000 with two archdioceses (Baghdad and Mosul)
C. Latin (Roman) Rite: more than 4000 with one archdiocese (Baghdad).
D. Armenian Rite: more than 3000 with one archdiocese (Baghdad).


2. The Other Christians (200,000)

A. The Church of the East, formerly Nestorian. More than 150,000.
B. Syrian Orthodox: More than 40,000.
C. Armenians. More than 5000.

The above figures are derived from CHALDEANS PAST AND PRESENT by Fr. Michael Bazzi (1993)


..... snip .....
From
http://www.byzantines.net/epiphany/chaldean.htm

Our priest of nine years, who has since been transferred to a near by town, used to spend his vacation in the Mid. East, around and away from Jerusalem. I won't bore you with all that he'd told us, but basically, I think Mrs.B needs a big lesson about how her prophet Abraham. .... Her priest will not condone her action/edit on the show.

On the other hand, not to excuse Mrs.B in any way or shape, but I do feel that, her end-gaol is actually not so different from the Jewish mom there. It was very, very low for Mrs.B to talk about "mixing up races"(I bet she herself is a product of many, many mixes.) and forgetting about her own marriage. -- BTW, do we know anything about them boys' daddies??

Again, not to excuse Mrs.B. Just wonder why Esther(?) is getting a free pass for insisting on a "nice Jewish girl" for Rob??

Jews come in all colours, and we have no way of knowing if Esther would object, for instance, to an Ethiopian Jew for a DIL. Also, Rob lost all four gparents in the Holocaust. Most people are stopped cold when they hear that.

Mama JoJo married outside her ethnic group herself, so what's her excuse? She freaked out just because he kissed a black woman--like the world was coming to an end.

I don't have a problem with the Mothers wanting a daughter-in-law with the same religion. Marriage is full of compromises, and adjustments, by it's very nature. There is something to be said for having the common ground of faith. My religion is important to me and I sure hope my children choose spouses that share our faith.

I also don't want a porn star/model for the mother of my grandchildren. Call me old-fashioned.... Besides, I have hopes that my grandchildren will be breastfed and I think implants can negatively impact breastfeeding depending on what all was cut during the procedure.

However, I don't really care what race they are. Or if they have a big butt.

"However, I don't really care what race they are. Or if they have a big butt."

LOL! (BTW thumbs up on the breastfeeding! I sure hope my future DIL chooses that)

I think Camilla making the attempt to learn the Jewish traditions was really great and you can convert. I can't imagine her not wanting him also to feel chemistry with his wife.

What a piece of work that Mrs. B. is! I was sorry her son didn't end up with either a woman of color or a Jewish woman. Seriously- he needs to take a stand about that or he looks just as bad as she does. WHen he kissed her and siad "You matter more to me than she does" my skin crawled. Then again, they are all Mama's boys.

Plus- who are we kidding thinking any of these guys will even end up with any of these women? Hah!

It bugged me that Mrs. B. cheated one more woman of going on the trip with them, putting them all down.

Who else can't wait to see Michael's Mom melt down when the truth about Erica comes out?

JoJo will end up with whoever his mother picks. She is in total control of him, I imagine she is that way with her whole family.

I beleive you have to give respect in order to receive it.

I've been thinking way too much about this silly show.

Here's what I would like to watch: still have the Moms and sons, but have the women be actual possibilities for marriage. No "models", no wannabe actresses, all of the same religion as the son if that's important to him and his family. Choose "sons" who are a little bit older, and really interested in marriage, not just making out with babes-with-implants. I guess I'm interested in the concept of parental influence on choice of spouse, but would love to see it without all the extra stuff thrown in for drama.

In college, I lived in a sorority house with 70 or 80 girls. No one was in Playboy, no one had implants, and it was still an interesting, dynamic, diverse, beautiful and sometimes volitile group. I think you could still get great footage for a show and actually have a possible match made.

My point is, the show could be absolutely fascinating without the smut and racism.

Of course, it would perhaps be better suited for PBS....

Oh, I know models get married.

I was referring to specifically Playboy/Penthouse models. I'm sure even lots of them get married. I just think (didn't they even say this?) that they purposely put those gals on the show for added drama and conflict. It's obviously working. Maybe I'm totally out of it, but I don't think most mothers want their daughter-in-law/mother-of-their-grandchildren to have that skeleton in their closet.

I didn't really expect a deep and enlightening experience from watching this show, I was just describing what I think would be more interesting. To me, at least.

I didn't know Esther was old enough to have had her parents die in the Holocaust. She would have to be 63 or 64 at least, wouldn't she? Was it maybe great-grandparents on Rob's mom's side? I hope I look that good at 64 if Esther is that old! And, I am not implying it's not horrid to have lost anyone in the holocaust, because it was truly, hideously, awful...I just think she looks too young to have had her parents die in it.

I think I am just a stickler for dates, too! I hate it when I am reading a book and a character is born in 1899 and then in 1927 they are 26 or 30 or whatever, being too young or too old for the year! Drives me nuts! I always want to contact the authors to tell them they screwed up


I can't wait until Erica bares all, I mean tells all. Just more attention for her, though, being on this show. What's strange is that she really is about the most likeable gal on here but having posed naked will screw her chances with the moms.

Not that anyone got together on this show. Perhaps a few of the actors stay in touch, but as far as matches, I'm sure all the boys ended up with their mommas!!!

oh, I forgot to thank Oregonguy for doing the 'legwork' on Erica's 'spread' in Penthouse. It's a lousy job but someone had to look into it!

Tabby, my parents just raised me right. i just enjoy being selfless.

looking forward to tomorrow night when erica reveals her secret. i almost wish that we didnt know her secret as she has been shown as such a nice girl that it would be jaw dropping when she told her secret.
