Yes, yes, and yes. I don't think Eric has watched this show much at all if he thinks that the foreigners shown have such "great values." These men are free to look for younger, prettier women overseas. But the man will have to wonder for the rest of his life if that woman cares for him or if she is with him because she would be "homeless" otherwise (to quite Hazel). It's funny in a way. I'm an American woman and am much less maintenance and less dramatic than some of the foreign women depicted on this show (Anfisa and Pao spring to mine).

Regarding Marta's physique and her "career..." my husband is involved in state law enforcement and has gone to a few of these "gentleman's establishments" with the FDA while the latter organization was looking into food safety violations (FYI- never eat in a sleazy strip club). Anyway, he told me that most of the women are not in top physical shape and don't look like they hit the gym at all. He said they were all on the "thick" side.

I would say no. A nursing mother should eat a healthy and balanced diet and someone thin like Jinger should eat more than usual to keep her supply up. I'm built like Jinger- I am petite and slender. I lost weight during nursing while eating as much as I did before pregnancy because my body was using so many calories to produce milk to keep up with my hungry son. If Jinger isn't eating carbs, she will waste away to nothing and probably have milk supply issues. I was eating a lot and was down to 95 lbs at one point (I'm normally 110). I looked sickly. She needs to eat!

I totally agree that the producers want them to propose. I don't think for a minute that Ximena and Rickey will get married. But the disturbing thing is many of the couples on the show do indeed get married....we'll have to wait to see what happens with Tarik and Hazel.

Almost every married couple I know dated for multiple years before their wedding. I am amazed and horrified at how things speed up in 90 Day Fiance land. Tarik knows she is the one after a few weeks, and Ricky proposes to Ximena days (hours?) after meeting her... The Paul and Karine scenes were heartbreaking and slightly confusing. She was 4-5 weeks pregnant last week, and it felt like 2 days later she was 9 weeks. I think Rachel is pretty. I never noticed until tonight how she is negative about everything and has quite the downer personality. Good luck with that, Jon.

I've run across plenty of doctors like this. I had a doctor talk about my baby's abnormalities as a fetus in pretty harsh terms. I ended up having a healthy baby incidentally.

Jon is 34. He has ex girlfriends who he may have loved. Why is this shocking?

I'm sure that won't cause any drama with his daugther's mother...

I really don't see what Tarik sees in Hazel. I'd think that after has sex, he'd be bored. There is no personality.

Ugh I don't like Tarik or Hazel.

Yes. Some things in life are dealbreakers so you don't even start a relationship.

I wonder what the time line is between Paul and Karine's wedding and him finding out that she is pregnant. I have a similar build to Karine. We are petite. I looked like her when I was 4-5 months along.

It was for me. I exercised as long as I could (I had to stop by 36 weeks because my ankles and feet were so swollen), but even then I walked around the neighborhood up until the day I gave birth. I only gained 20 pounds so that made losing it really easy because half was gone after I had my giant 9 lb baby. Needless to say, gaining less makes losing easy! (I think genetics help, too, and I got lucky).

I got the impression that she was a size zero in high school. It is possible to be tiny without dieting too much. I'm a size 2 and I admit to doing little to maintain that, even after my baby. But who knows- that may change as I get older. It is conceivable that Rachel had some metabolism issues after her second pregnancy.

She also is not trying in the least. She would look so much better if she took a shower and used some foundation. I've been pregnant too and, unlike Karine, worked a full-time job (like so many women) so I don't think it's asking too much for her to get up out of bed and maybe shampoo her hair.

Angela's fashion choice get worse each week. Rachel may not be a size zero any more, but she's not 300 pounds, either. If she stopped wearing such frumpy clothing, I think she'd look quite attractive and cute. Since it is her second wedding, she should forego the large white dress and find something stylish and affordable that she can wear on other occasions, too. So Karine's baby will be Paul's (whether it is or not) and now she can count on 18 years of financial support. I think that must have been her mission because she is clearly disgusted by Paul and was even at the wedding. I hope sour-faced Hazel doesn't end up in the USA. I couldn't imagine her taking care of Tarik's autistic daughter.

What was the "incident" with Darcey that Jesse mentioned?

She's got to be further along. It can take women a while to show with their first, and she is certainly showing! She is more than 4 or 5 weeks. I looked like that at 4 months.

I will say this. I used to be a size zero and am still fairly thin. I get compliments for being "skinny" all the time. It bothers me. So if I gained a lot of weight, it would mess with my head. But I'd like to think I'd handle it better than Rachel.

Thank you. If you don't like your body, you can do something. There also isn't any shame with not being a size zero once you are in your 30s.

Um...a Roman Catholic doesn't believe that Mary had sex out of wedlock. That's kinda the whole point. Jesus is so special that God made her pregnant with him when she was still a virgin.

No, you are right. I am not a "devout" Catholic, but I had sex before marriage and had major guilt about it. I only did it because we were planning on getting married (and we did)! If I had a child before being married my whole family would have been horrified.

Okay. How much $$ does Darcey spend on her hair, nails, teeth, plastic surgery, etc? I bet she has nothing in savings!

This is not related at all to the show, but I have to add this. I used to teach high school, and there is a trend to not teach grammar anymore in English classes. I taught history and my students (and their parents) told me that I should not have graded or corrected students for grammar usage in their papers since I wasn't an English teacher. Oy. Yes, we are doomed. Back to the show!

I was thinking that too, but it is possible. If you look at photos of people years ago they looked like they were 50 when they were 30. That's what happens when the sun damages your skin and you don't take care of yourself (and eat a crappy diet).
