Not just as much, but everyone has baggage. Some have just a carry-one. Others have an entire set & a footlocker.

Now that the air has cleared, here's my take on it all: It was a business arrangement gone bad. Josh & Silvia initially felt they were being paid too little. VHTV felt they were being compensated fairly. Looks like Josh, in an immature manner, decided to steal from VHTV in lieu of being paid little money. VHTV retaliated by getting their "muscle" into the apartment to set him straight...and that's when things escalated. Silvia...she was in the middle of it all. *I* think VHTV handled the situation poorly. Even though Josh may have had bad intentions, as an employer you must know who your employees are. Maybe it's common practice in Russia to strong arm an employee out of the house without lawful repercussions. But...these employees (house guests) come in with plenty of emotional baggage (IMO there must be emotional baggage if you're willing to have sex on camera and/or a body full of tattoos). Maybe they came from broken homes - whatever the reason these 'employees' (or independent contractors) are far from squeaky clean. Should it all have been on camera? Absolutely. Assuming these agreements have a clause for immediate termination, VHTV should have gone in, tell them to pack up and be out within an hour or two; and they should be respectfully escorted out of the house. These house guests have little belongings other than clothes. Packing up should take little time. Sad to see how it ended but from what I've read, it appears there is blame on both sides. But bottom line is it was a business transaction that came to an end. It just didn't end well.

7.3 billion people in the world. Cams are located in Russia. Assuming 400+ participate and/or read this forum. Not one of us speak/understand Russian.

After reading the last 3....4 pages, what does Arthur (and his buddy) have to do with the situation. It seems this whole mess started with Arthur's arrival. I'm not ready to fully accept VHTV's explanation. Not saying it isn't true but something still smells rotten and there are two sides to every story.

There had to have been a love connection (figuratively) between Arthur and Silvia. What else could it be that would piss off insecure Josh?

So...I'm guessing Arthur and Silvia made a 'connection' (not sure to say that figuratively or literally), Josh got jealous and thus the crack was widened in their superficial (only sexual) relationship. Might not be true but makes a good premise for a soap opera or made-for-TV movie. Margo Robbie would play Silvia (she'd have to go 'brunette') and Ryan Reynolds would be Josh. On to a more serious tone, she is NOT happy.

They aren't playing with the others. On a side note, I think they (and I) were happier when they were in the previous apartment.

The Trumps may speak Russian. But that's for another thread.

Maya was M.I.A. last night. Stepan slept alone. Tonight, Stepan is M.I.A. Hmm...what to think of this???

I managed a quick service restaurant for a few years. I've seen stranger things when reviewing security cams. But my take away from that job is other than chicken (if you must) or a green salad, never order anything off the menu. Burgers, fries, chili, dogs - the things that sometimes happen behind the counter with these items that the customer isn't privy to,...eat at home.

My prediction: As much as she smokes (I estimate over 1 pack a day), lung cancer before she's 35. SilviaSmoking.mp4

Granted - she's attractive as are most VH/RLC participants. But after the sex part wears away, I am more interested in their behavior. Whether it's a conversation, argument or a reaction from an event. While I haven't learned anything from how people bang, I have learned a few things from people's behavior (i.e.: More and more 20-somethings treat sex as a sport or activity - not an emotional exchange of love).

I think many of you are missing the point. If you're hired by VH (or RLC or...?), you're hired to put your lives on display 24/7. If you're in the house, everything goes! People are paying to see your behavior (good, bad or indifferent). If a VH resident wants to keep something private, step outside the boundaries of the VH world. And on a related note, most of these people are PAID to stay home...stay indoors and be the 'circus animal'. Others have arrangements where they have an outside job (or school). So they are not contracted to be home during the day (or whenever). Now...if someone understand Russian and declares he/she knows what is being said but wont translate due to keeping their 'privacy', then that person is a douche. Why??? Because there is no reason to throw a carrot in front of the rabbit and say I understand what is being said but I won't translate. That's being a douche. He should just keep his mouth shut and not say anything. Bottom line: If you're on camera, your life is mine (figuratively, not literally).

It's more than just an opinion. People are PAYING money to see these people's lives 24/7. To say their privacy should be protected contradicts their responsibilities as an employee (probably independent contractor) of VH and their responsibilities to the home viewer. It's like super-imposing a 'censor' banner over Silvia's boobs/private parts whenever she enters a room with a camera.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! They chose to be on camera 24/7. If they want privacy, take it outside the house. But within those 4 walls, nothing is private.

If only I knew back in high school this is what the 'bad girls' were doing on Saturday night, I would have given up playing Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.

I don't think Maya came home last night. You think she got smart and.... Nawww, she might be resourceful but that doesn't make her Phi Beta Kappa.

They've become an old, married couple (from my perception). This behavior has been relatively constant the past few months. The days of Maya dressing in a french maid's outfit and making herself attractive for Stepan are gone. The days of Maya & Stepan watching porn 1-2x/week in the living room are gone. The days of Maya dressing her age (and not like a grandmother) are gone. It's even a rare occurrence that they are in the kitchen together cooking. Now, he plays on the computer and she goes into the bedroom either reading or doing something on the phone. In the apartment, the only time I see them together (when awake) is when they eat a meal/snack (he by the computer and she sits behind him).

Hate that hair! I'd like to flip her over and use her as a bathroom mop.

BAZINGA!

Rod001: Sounds like the pot calling the kettle black.

Kind of agree with you. I'm not laying blame on one or the other. Nina feels the world revolves around her and Kira is an enabler (I also think Kira will never feel as secure in their relationship as Nina does; hence the jealousy).
