I found it - some people complain about the behavior of the kids and then other people defend them and say "if you don't like it don't watch" ad nauseum! Bill and Jen do film their family and put themselves on TV so they open themselves up to scrutiny. I do think Jen is kind of "on" when the cameras are there, trying to be a perfect parent. I know whenever my mother-in-law was here I always tried to put on my best parent behavior. I wonder how they are when the cameras are not around?

well I was not offended at all, not sure why you thought that. She sounds like a wonderful kid and overcame her hard beginning, thanks to you! Where is the facebook page where they are bashing Will? Will did really enjoy it though, he was talking about it with glee that night. I think he just loved the whole thing but it was inappropriate for Bill to do this

I know college is NOT cheap - I put 2 sons through and it was expensive. My 3rd son is special needs (developmentally delayed) so he didn't go to college. I know it's easy to say but try not to look at what other people have, look at how nice your own family is.

smama what stings? Not getting the other child? Or knowing what she went through? it sounds like you made the right decision. Imagine if the other child was a complete disaster with lots of issues and you had to cut way back on the amount of attention your daughter got? Kudos to you parents who have adopted these children from orphanages.

Bill's mom strikes me as someone who is extremely uncomfortable being on camera. I am sure she interacts much more when the cameras are not there. It seems like she purposely stays in the background. She doesn't want to see herself. I don't blame her. Yes Jen looked amazing in her outfit. I love Chloe Dao and remember her from her season on Project Runway. Jen does have a lot of style.

Why did the kids have to go to that dinner? I was confused. There were no other kids there. It made no sense to drag the kids to that.

And the way she is about the stupid photos is crazy because their entire childhood is on film already.

eh, they ruined Zoe's birthday party. She was right STOP! It's not funny! Wash Your Hands! I think she screamed when the icing was put on her face because she already seemed to be getting in a bad mood right before it happened and she didn't want to be a part of it. My cousin was also a big neatnik as a kid - and she is not aspergers. Everyone is different but she was already fed up and didn't want to be a part of the food fight and possibly she thought the icing was he beginning of more of it. I have never once in my life been in a food fight. I find throwing food NOT funny, not amusing, stupid. I hate when they smear cake at weddings. I am by no means a neat nick myself.

Yes he was trying to rationalize his crass vacation, POST airing of the show. He is trying to spin it that he never eats meat, but he was a total asshole and it had nothing to do with his beliefs that he acted clueless to how to act. He is trying to spin himself to look better after it aired by saying "I don't eat meat" yeah well you acted like a complete moron and insulted people. They didn't offer you cows balls with roasted eyeballs on the side, you are not a vegetarian, or were not when you were there, you are just trying to rationalize your disgusting behavior. What was disgusting was you and not the pig.

True I thought when she said at first on the preview that she was going to see a surgeon about her breasts, I thought for a reduction! She needs a reduction! LIke a lot of women who keep going bigger and bigger she needs therapy. Its totally different when you are flat chested and get implants. This is crazy and she is mentally ill. Its sad actually.

Lindsey cant find a top that fits now and her boobs are always hanging out and now she wants BIGGER ONES? WTF!!!??

has been discussed quite a bit in lasts weeks thread the whole jewish/kosher/vegetarian reasoning for not eating the pig --of which none of these were the reason - he was disgusted by it and it grossed him out. Read last week's thread and also the Larry/Jenny thread for more info on that. As a pretty bald woman I'd like to point out baldies have to wear hats so their scalp doesn't sunburn.

Antonio I think he thinks he is HOT and will be on American TV so should show his "great" body by stripping down for the cameramen ...he would have been gone had it not been for the TV show by now. He would have told her to go away. He must have signed a contract agreeing to be filmed for the entire time. His body is kind of short and stumpy. When Corny said "the Europeans they don't give two shits about anything important-- stuff like air conditioning!" I mean is she really that poor that she cant go to a hotel room? She was trying to hint they both go to one and he was like NO, I am not going to a hotel room with you. She is suffocating this guy. She is insisting they spend all their time together and he can't take it. He is one "Isterico" as they say in Argentina ...Isterico=Players men who won't commit. But he signed this contract to stay in it for the duration, but he had to get the fuck away from her, which he admits in his interview. Myriam seems much older than 22 when she speaks, maybe the french accent. She said her boyfriend was 23 and the men in her country don't want to settle down at that age. Well it is the same way in the US. I know I know some 20 somethings. Men here are not looking for marriage and commitment at age 23. of course there are exceptions. Myriam is very young, she just looks older when she talks, but she is like a little girl with the fake crying and the whole scene. I try to keep all of that in mind when she is talking. She sounds sophisticated and older I think because of the French accent. But she is a baby. She has a lot to learn. The ex wife of Patrick is STUNNING! She is just beautiful and way way way too good for him.

When he said "what do you need me to do to prove my love?" I wish she would have said LEARN PORTUGUESE!

Larry- her being mad at you has NOTHING to do with "cultural differences" it has nothing to do with the food you don't like. It is COMMON SENSE AND COMMON COURTESY! This whole scene showed that you have NO COMMON SENSE!! It has nothing to do with the food! You can't pick up on social cues and take in the scene around you and act accordingly (ie like a human being). This is the problem! Not cultural differences! Not that you don't like the food! This kind of thing - not knowing how to act, not having COMMON SENSE--- it was SO OBVIOUS to anyone with common sense that it was important to eat the food without spitting it out and making it obvious that you were disgusted. You are going to repeat not having common sense over and over and over in all different scenarios that you come upon. Cashing in your 401K also exhibits you have not one lick of common sense. Flying for 40 hours to get there also shows you have no common sense. But yeah chalk it all up to "cultural differences". This whole thing infuriates me and everyone talking about how there is also certain food they dont like when this is 100% not the issue. You take in the scene and do what is expected of you all the time if you are normal. Then he says "doesnt she understand it's just food?" That is the problem in a nutshell. Its not just food - it is the way he behaved she really saw what a total rube he is and how stupid he is. She didn't know this before and it was revolting to her. He STILL doesn't get what he did that was so offensive.

Pronouncing his name right is not a thing for me!

And "this is not a thing for me"

HA HA HA HA!!! so funny!

I found the actual quote: "I don't remember the last time I ate meat". He is not saying he is vegetarian. I eat very little meat and I can't remember the last time I ate it either, but I am not a vegetarian. That explains it.

exactly, plus they showed him in that scene with his sons right before he left eating a hotdog. If this is what he is saying, then he realized he looked like a jackass and made up an excuse to defend himself AFTER the event. Not a bad strategy because some people will buy it. It also really irks Jenny when he starts shaking and sweating. She screams at him: RELAX. She realizes she has a real piece of work on her hands. But who can blame her for wanting to get out of that horrible poverty. I wish I could send this family something, money, a bed...a floor My friend was in China with her future in-laws. They served her all kinds of mystery food. She had to eat it to show respect. They were all excited about their local specialties. If she would ask "what is this?" they would say "meat" lol. Some of it was on eyeballs level of unappealing. But she ate it and smiled and said it was good. She is not a rube.

sounds like he is pretending to be a vegetarian post filming in Phillipines. He did not state on the show that he could not eat the pig because he did not eat meat. He said it looked disgusting and he didn't want to get diarhea. Whatever crap he made up after he realized what a cafone he came off us I'm not buying. Had he really been a vegetarian at the time of the pig he would have said it to Jenny and/or the cameras, which he didn't. Anyone who believes being a vegetarian is not why Larry wouldn't eat the lechon,,,,well I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

for the 100th time, Larry is NOT a vegetarian! He is just a clueless jackass! He clearly stated that he thought the lechon was disgusting and would give him diarrear.

Ha Ha Antonio's friend: I am so surprised they are not having sex. Antonio usually has a big SEX sign drawn on his forehead! You know he is only putting up with her because there is a TV crew. He must have signed a contract and has to see this whole thing through. If there were no show, he would have shown her the door by now.

But he was not a jerk because he was from another culture. He totally does NOT know how to act. You say thank you and pretend you like it. You don't make faces like you think it's disgusting. Had he been in America and went to someone's house and didn't like something that was served- you fake it! He does not know basic social skills. He has no skills at all, no manners. At first I thought it had to do with him never travelling before. But then I realized it does not- he has been sheltered or something and does not know anything, like to how to fucking act in society. You don't insult people, you don't insult the parents of your girlfriend, you don't go to a party and insult the host. Most people, their first time in another country, who didn't like the looks of the pig, would have pretended to like it and to be gracious. You say you are picky about food but I am sure you would have acted much more mature than Larry in a similar situation. I was just disgusted with him. That cost them like 3 months salary. Idiot.

I feel sorry for Elizabeth as she has her father's hanging neck- the loose skin turkey neck. Look at her dad and then look at her- identical although his is worse from aging. It's weird because she is so young. Her sister's are both really pretty
