Was that Bridezillas or a lost episode of Intervention?

I don't know who these new editors are, but they may be worse than the old editors. At least the old editors blew little things out of proportion and created quasi-drama, this episode was beyond boring and they still haven't addressed the show's general flaws.

[BittyMonkey]

I didn't think it was boring. I sat there and mentally made a note of every alcoholic excuse in the book that Rhyan used, including jumping on the person expressing concern about his own drinking.

I honestly didn't see that much resembling undying love. And I'm really curious to know what "I'm not getting married again" means.

[NYGirl]

I found Ryhan very very annoying. Poor Onur is going to have to work very very hard for that green card.

Are they legally married or not? She insisted on their friends officiating the ceremony but are they legal?

So she doesn't speak with her family. I wonder if it has anything to do with her drinking or self-centeredness.

As far as Malia goes I can just roll my eyes. She's very annoying and immature for a 31 year old. I remember when her fiancee played baseball. I think he was on the Mets at one point and the Dodgers at another.

Edited because I can't spell.

Soooo freaking boring. And even with the new producers, the continuity fairies remain elusive.

[GriefWhisperer]

Note to Rhyan: If you have a seperate name for yourself when you're drunk, and it's a really dumb name, you may have a drinking problem. Sober up for, oh, 10 minutes.

[tracyKAY]

Rhyan wasn't a bridezilla. More like Boozilla. Or Boobzilla. Or even Bubblezilla. Too sotted and selfish for anything.

[talkstoomuch]

The title of this episode should have been "Where Is The Love?" cuz I wasn't seeing any with either couple.

Good gravy, I hate Malia. That simpering, pouty, self-centered, whiny, bitchy, baby-talking, compliment-seeking act has got to get old, right?

I have to say neither me nor Peaches have a problem with Rhyan and Levitica. Except for the DUI-ing and the fianceDaddy, I a'int mad at her. Holding back your hair while you puke at your bachelorette party? Now that's my kind of bridesmaid.

Yes, they said that she insisted that they get ordained in order to perform the ceremony.

Boring episode. Was it my imagination or did the dentist pronounce Malia’s name differently then the narrator pronounces it? Because if she paid all that money for a CELEBRITY dentist and he didn’t even get her name right, that is too funny. Dang I really need tivo so I can go back and check these things.

[kdelarosa22]

Rhyan needs an alcohol intervention and her husband needs a hairdresser intervention.

Malia likes to throw back a few too. I wonder if she would cry less if she were sober. At least she didn't pretend to care about his kid tonight so I didn't strain my eyes by rolling them.

[lil'p]

This episode bored and depressed me. Rhyan's ceremony on the beach looked so lonely; and watching Malia's teeth bleaching appointment unfolding practically in real time was torture.

Yes, he did mispronounce her name, and I loved it.

I hate Malia too, because she, more than anyone else, plays to the cameras. She keeps making comments to the cameras and mugging all over the place, and I hate her for it. And man, is she psycho. Her face was practically twitching with insanity when she was threatening the best man. She will continue to bug next week with that fake looking psycho crying. I hate that they are stretching her out yet another week. They could have passed on Rhyan's boring, non-zilla story and just finished up with Malia.

The only amusing part to me was when Mindy said "Rhyan's fiance Onur is Turkish", then it clips to Onur saying "My name is Onur and I am Turkish". I just thought it'd be funny if that was the only thing he said on the show.

[collegedog]

We're now in season...4?...so no one on this show doesn't know what's going on. So I think Malia is totally playing to the cameras. Don't get me wrong, she's an ass and then some, but I think she's really playing up the center-of-attention-thing...which is, I guess, it's own form of being the center of attention. But if she has aspirations of becoming an actress (and would anyone be surprised to find that was the case?), she'd better get an acting coach real soon. That scene with the fiance's best friend--where she's giving him the "this is my day" speech--was so fake it was painful.

Now, Rhyan...wow. They should be showing this episode in alcohol intervention programs. Was she classic or what? And could someone please explain to me why anyone would go through the expense of hair extentions for a wedding? We're not talking "make my hair look fuller," we're talking "pretend I don't have short hair, even though everyone who knows me knows I do."

One more thing. We've seen episodes where the bride had a "costume change" between the wedding and reception, but here we're seeing Rhyan put the same dress BACK on for her wedding lunch/reception two days later? What the...? I guess if the only people who saw the dress originally were the two people officiating at your wedding (how sad was that?), you need to wear it again.

[orangeslice]

Rhyan's wedding was so weird, they show her the whole episode spending all this money, and then the day of the wedding looked so cheap. Although, I think alot of it had to do with no one being there. Also, if everyone ending up at the reception two days later, why didn't they just have the ceremony that day. I don't see them lasting to long, not unless she gets some help and he no longer works around alcohol.

Malia is disgusting, boo.

Right, forgot about the money issue with Rhyan. So, let's see... she drinks and drives (how did she get home from the salon?) or, more accutately, she, drinks and pretty much anything; and she lies to her husband-to-be about money issues (hiding receipts? outright lying about costs?) Now we just need to find out she has a boyfriend on the side and good 'ol Onur has hit the trifecta.

Have we seen a more unhappy groom?

[Mita_Jo]

Did you guys notice how she wanted the vows translated into Turkish so that his parents would understand, but then his parents weren't even there?

Well she did say that they were going to see "this", which I took to mean "the video" or the actual Bridezilla episode. Which...not the best idea if you want to impress the inlaws and not let them know you're an ALCOHOLIC.

Also, if everyone ending up at the reception two days later, why didn't they just have the ceremony that day.

She said that the wedding was for close, personal friends only, which I guess amounted to those two people. And the Bridezilla crew. And the viewers. I'm sure the friends and family that weren't invited are really upset that they missed that whole thing. [/sarcasm]

I didn't understand getting the weave put in and then taken out the next day either. Maybe that's why Onur is worried about money. I'm sure they didn't do that trial run for free. Overall, I just felt sorry for Onur and Rhyan and am so happy that they were only on for one episode. I think I might have to go on antidepressants if I had to watch them for another week or two.

Dear Malia, you are the worst actress on the planet. The "performance" at the dentist, the "performance" while meeting the photographer, and the "performance" with the best man SUCKED. Don't quit your day job. If you actually have one, that is. And I'm even more convinced after seeing the previews for next week's show, that your boobs are as fake as your hair and your nails. I'm not even sure I buy that those teeth are really yours.

[collegedog]

Ooh, that reminds me...what IS Malia's job? Does she have one? Or was she still living with her parents when she starting dating her parents' friend Rich? (Creepy, no?)

[dizzylizzy]

I don't think a tiny wedding is necessarily sad. It does seem to become sad when you blow thousands on it and have the Bridezillas camera crew catering for your reception. I didn't get what all the flowers that they blew tons of money were for. He had a buttoniere (not looking it up - sorry) and she had her bouquet and I didn't see any other flowers. And they were plain red roses. And I don't get the whole hair extensions and big fat dress or anything else. It just didn't make sense. And Rhyan is a raging yet functional alcoholic. I feel a bit bad for Onur but these men see the zilla and go ahead and say "I do" anyway.

The reception didn't make much sense either. There is a reason you make the bakery deliver a wedding cake. And it just looked icky. The only thing that looked remotely fun was the bachelorette party. And that was a good bridesmaid.


The dentist did mispronounce Malia's name. I was a bit surprised they didn't do more work on his teeth. Veneers or something but that may have sent Malia (MAHL-ya seems to be how the dentist said it) over the edge. I wonder if she just doesn't know how ridiculous she is.


And the whole bachelor party discussion was so staged as to not be funny. And what kind of woman wants her husband to get liquored up and get a tattoo with her name? (other than psycho Malia). Ick ick ick. I do hope he gets it and the tattoo curse kicks in pre wedding. And I don't see why the best man has to take care of both rings. Best man seemed to take it pretty well - didn't smack her (I would've) but didn't back down either. I am guessing that the bachelor party is going to be pretty wild and the only place they won't hit is the tattoo parlour.

[GANative]

They stated she is a 31 yr old "executive" something if I stand correct.

The reason for the transalation was for his parents to see when they visit Turkey in a couple of months. I guess they weren't able to make the "improntue" wedding.
I felt sorry for Rhyann and Onur...you don't get along with your family, and what woman wouldn't want her family around on her big day. Could it be they disagreed with her choice of Onur or maybe a disagreement with her drinking...Who knows...But this chick needs intervention QUICKLY...

As for Malia...her teeth looked fake...I mean, I have never seen teeth that white before...Well, when I used to color in coloring books and had to color the teeth of my character, I always used the WHITE crayon...that's what her teeth remind me of...Bugs Bunny white teeth!
The dentist seemed bored with her...and so was I.
She hit it on the nose when she said she is insecure when the attention isn't on her...WHATEVER...as I've said before, once the money is gone, so will she...

[prplpenguin]

What really bothered me was the fact that Malia was upset because her teeth didn't get as much work done. Her soon-to-be hubbie has to get his teeth shaved (I think that was what they called it) and she's upset that she doesn't get some kinf of extra treatment as well.

It also seemed like the upper half of her face didn't move whenever she smiled and talked at the same time...

As for Rhyan, she needs to get that whole "other identity" thing straightened out, and fast. Does Onur know about "Levitica"?

[dizzylizzy]

Think so. She said after the vows that now he was stuck with her and then said "...and Levitica" sotto voce.

So he knows what he is marrying. Hope that Green Card is worth it.

[iggystar]

Hair extensions are as common as lipstick among African-American women. It's really no big deal, just something to add versatility to our hairstyles, so I wasn't surprised about Rhyan's hair, just surprised that she got drunk while getting it done.

Rhyan and Onur just made depressed about the whole institution of marriage. I mean many of these couples look like divorce will be in their future, but with these two it's a wrap. Hopefully she'll stop hitting the bottle before they have any children.

I know small weddings can be special, but I just felt lonely watching the nuptuals and baffled at all the complaining about the costs..what costs?. Where did all of the money go for flowers? Since when is a $200 wedding cake expensive? They should have ran down to the courthouse and gotten it over.

Is anyone surprised that Rhyan met her husband at a bar? That made her friend's toast all the more more funny (and sad).

I'm a black woman so I understand versatility with hairstyles. What I didn't understand was why she got the hair extensions put in and out (seemingly) the same day or the next day, only to have them put back in on the day of her wedding. Which, from the editing of this show, looked to be two or three days AFTER she got drunk at the salon. Now this could all be just Mindy making shit up for the sake of storyline and the wedding took place a month later, but from what it LOOKED like, she got the extensions put in twice in the span of a week. And it wasn't even cute either. That's another problem I had.

They had a $2000 budget, and from what I saw (what happened to the handy little subtitles that tell you what the costs were?), it was probably spent on their wedding attire, her bouquet and the reception at that restaurant. They probably paid for everyone's meal and it looked to be at least 20 people there. There were a few decorations there too, so maybe that's where the other flowers were going to be and she just picked up her bouquet that day because she needed it first.

Why couldn't Onur take a cab home? Unless money was an issue, I wouldn't count on Levitica to be picking me up from anywhere.

I'm going to assume that you can follow this editing better than myself. I thought she got her hair done once and because everything was so chopped up they would cut to Rhyan with hair then without out of sequence. But I'm sure I'm wrong because I just got tired of trying to figure the timeline out.

Anyhow, I know people who have had extensions taken down and redone in the same week, however only because they were dissatisfied and wanted to improve on the look. Clearly we can see this was not the case. She ended up looking the very thing she said she didn't want to look, kinda ghetto.

Well if the budget was only $2000 I can understand, but Rhyan must not know what weddings go for these days because she complained like she was spending $100,000. She kept saying how expensive everything cost. Now, right now, $2,000 would be a huge budget on my means, but I know that overall that's a nothing amount to spend.

Yeah given how messed up the editing was on the driving scenes where they were having actual conversations, I wouldn't really trust the hair scenes.

I wonder who's apartment that was first and how long they have lived there because unless that was one of the apartments set aside in the building for workforce housing that was one expensive apartment.

[collegedog]

Why would anyone who could afford a trophy wife shop bargain basement and get Malia? This is a prize? And I understand that prize and trophy refer to superficial things only, and only among shallow people for whom that is the beginning and end of what matters, but Malia doesn't even cut it on that scale.
