Natasha - a mail order bride or misunderstood?

I hate to say it, but I do think she was a mail order bride. It just seems a little fishy to me, the entire thing with her coming over just to marry him and not being able to speak any English, I don't know!

I do think she's sweet and quirky. At first I really didn't like her and thought she was stuck up, but the more they show her the more she's growing on me!LOL!

I dont know why, but Natasha is just so cute! I loved the episode where they were being manicans in the window (on the platform) and when they said that their name was spelled wrong she just stuck right up for herself, No you can spell it however you want when it's a name. Lol, and then one of the other girls said she is the used car salesman of ANTM. Plus, how funny was it when she was being the ganster guy.

She sounds like she might love him when they talk on the phone, but I think shes smarter than she lets on.

I think Natasha is a mail order bride. And she did marry a 40 year old man. But 40 is not really very old. A 40 year old man can be mature and handle the responsibility of a marriage. He is sexy and charming and has money.
And I hope that he is handsome and not some slob. But she has it made and likely smarter than most of us!

I think she did say she was a mail order bride. Who knows what her situation was back in her home country. After the fall of it's rein there are a lot of people who are starving to death and are taking the quickest way out to save themselves. However, she seems happy and that's all that matters. Besides, who are we to judge?

It seems likely that it was an arranged marriage. What are the chances of her otherwise meeting and marrying a man that much older, who was from another country?

I would say that they both benifit from it- she gets to be here, and be taken care of, and he gets the companionship. She seems rather happy with it.

I couldn't stand her at first, but she is really growing on me. Making a grill from a gum wrapper for her photo shoot was hilarious!

I thought in the beginning she told them she was a mail order bride. I do think she used him to come to this country and it's kind of odd that she was picked since it is "americas" next top model. However she did insist that she was an american now that she moved here and wants to be considered an american. Maybe she really does love him though...Did anyone else notice how she was talking dirty on the phone to him a few episodes ago?

both ways i guess. the man needs a wife... she was willing. and she needed him to enter the states. they were using each other. and i think she is far from misunderstood.
