Yeah, the power is all in the writers' hands here, but I think they could have stumbled on a potential goldmine.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I periodically misspell words just to annoy the word police.
Re: Raj and Isabella
I say yay funny episode this show hasn't got many seasons left maybe this is who he will end up with now
Re: Raj and Isabella
Nah, raj becomes an even more pathetic character, he's actually more annoying than Sheldon, shel has been ok for now
Re: Raj and Isabella
Yay. But he's still the guy who got a girlfriend after Sheldon Cooper.

Re: Raj and Isabella
Sorry, but Nah. She looks more like a mother figure than a 'girlfriend'! Also find it offensive that they made a hispanic character as a maid or cleaning person.
Re: Raj and Isabella
I agree with 'more like mother', and after all, she raised a kid to adulthood and the actress herself is 50 I think. And Raj, despite being in his mid-30s (actor is 35) acts much less mature than that.
As to hispanic character being a cleaning person, just two words: "Miss Housekeeping". We are all living in Trump's America now. :)

All of the cleaning people at my company are hispanic. How is it racist if it reflects real life?

I believe that is the situation in large parts of the United States, and it is certainly the case in Southern California.

Re: Raj and Isabella
So far (in this thread) the math says 71% believe this storyline could be the one to breathe new life into the show. I know I am personally looking forward to seeing where the writers take them.
To me, Isabella is more interesting than his last two girlfriends. Emily had the personality of a macabre dishrag and Claire had too much of the cocky stinkface going on. Isabella seems kind and mature, and like she could have an interesting backstory.
Plus Raj needs to grow up some and she could be just the one to open his eyes to that. And she's funny and spunky- which is what is needed for a sitcom romance.
She's getting my vote anyway.

Re: Raj and Isabella
Not a fan of the storyline so far. Why can't somebody be single without looking all the damn time?
And not a fan of the possible relationship either. Isabella is considerably older, has an adult child, and yes, is a cleaning lady. They don't have much in common.

Re: Raj and Isabella
I'm definitely YAY! It was a change of pace, and it showed that he had top get real with her when he stuffed up. Someone who won't take any crap will be good for him. Even if it's not an end game relationship, it will help push his character forward. Issabella is a good character.

Not so sure until I see more development on their story. I'm keen to see further developments on them though.

Me, too! I really hope they'll show them next week.

Re: Raj and Isabella
Its one thing to date a women in a position like a janitor, but its another one to date a women so much older than him with a kid. I mean, why is working as a janitor even a big deal. For a guy like Raj, his main selling point is going to be his job and his money. That won't be very effective against women who have successful careers.

Nay.
Just more drama to suffer through. Her 18 year old kid, her being somewhat older, her job. It's just too much possible drama storylines.

Re: Raj and Isabella
Nay for me here. In fact I would prefer no more girlfriends for Raj or at least no episodes long search for one. Considering that Raj's story lines rank under Shamy storylines, Plenny stories, and Howardette stories in importance. So that might mean every 4 or 5 episodes we get a snippet of Raj's love life.
Riddle me this Lemons. How do you think that this older woman, single immigrant mother who works as a janitor is going to react when she discovers that Raj likes to read comic books and watch second rate science fiction (to use Amy's phrase). Is Isabella going to join in or roll her eyes and think how childish ? Can you see Isabella sitting around eating take-out with the whole gang ? The whole gang is going to be in for a surprise when Raj brings Mrs. Robinson over for vintage video game night, as will she.
I think this storyline is going to be soon dropped like so many others.
When I first saw Raj by his telescope I thought that maybe he would be doing something scientific or discovering the Death Star and was excited. But no ! Just another kissy face romance in the works. Also there is only room for three Besties, and the Besties that are would not approve of this. And what would Raj's parents say about this ?
I also think she might be a bit of a snob as her "now you know how it feels" comment might be a more of an elite Cuban not wanting to be compared with a work-a-day Mexican, or Raj, an elite Indian not being on the same status level as a Pakistani.
But I do have to say that she just might become as boring as Raj eventually.

Re: Raj and Isabella
Riddle me this Znex. Couldn't the Raj/Isabella storyline rank higher than Howardette if it becomes more interesting? Can't the writers show them in as many episodes as they want? Couldn't Isabella be just who is needed to make Raj grow up finally? Couldn't Penny, Amy and Bernie actually adore her? Couldn't she be a great help to Bernie when she has her baby since none of the other girls have experience in that area? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Why did the chicken cross the road?
I can do this all night.

Re: Raj and Isabella
Okay here is one more. The Baby! That is the most important storyline of all well as is Sheldon as the most interesting man in the world. I only see the storylines as they come and since Jim, Katey, and Johnny get the big money they get the big airtime. Oh I don't know. I don't want to see this "As the World turns" smooshy face stuff unless I am the one being smooshd. There are enough people in the show already. Now do you want to make Isabell "The Nanny" which is Fran Dreshers job, which I once mentioned to our long lost PKLarkins, who did not take to kindly to the thought of Fran and Bernie screeching at Howard. Isabella is not going to like that one bit. And why does Raj need to grow up whatever that means ?
A wood chuck would chuck a lot of wood if the wood chuck knew that even meant.
The egg came first as it was hatched by a confused lizard.

You know Lemons that I recall that we had this same exact exchange about something else a long time ago where you posted a song for me to dance to and then I posted back some dancing emojis like this
Re: Raj and Isabella
Periodic dancing on command is a requirement of friendship with me. Didn't you read your paperwork?
ANYWAY, it would make me very happy if you'd keep your mind open to the possi-Bella-ties of this new story.
And if it crashes and burns I give you permission to post a thread called "Lemons was a mush head".

Re: Raj and Isabella
I'm glad the character is at least 10 years older than him (she's 15 years) and not a supermodel. I know Penny being attractive with the geek next door was a driving narrative early in the show, but Bernadette is far prettier than Howard should have been able to woo and marry and Raj's sister was just as big as a knockout as Penny was for Leonard. Raj has run the gambit, but his last girlfriend was also far too pretty for a geek to attract.
I like that Isabella is within the realm of reason. And she's pretty in an average way. I hope they continue with her character.

Re: Raj and Isabella
you look at her pics online?/ She is pretty damn hot to me and 50?? She has it going on
Re: Raj and Isabella
Yeah, but she's been dressed down for the show. She's pretty in an average way. A regular woman. Definitely within the realm of possibility for a geek.
Re: Raj and Isabella
Yay. I like her a lot, and I like the chemistry between them. I just watched it again, and it was a very good episode all around.

67% in support of this storyline
33% not in support of this storyline
Now to see where the writers take them!
