    Karine and her mom got the full face beats, manis, pedis, new dresses, etc., so why didn't Graceline touch up her roots? You can buy a box for $7 USD. 

    Ohhhh....I must have missed Mama Karine getting dolled up!  However, I did find her open back red flashy top strangely reminiscent of Angela.

    Ugh, or he could stop using American women and just make the most of his life in Nigeria. There are plenty of business men in Nigeria.

    ***

    Dean just needs to get laid. He's wound up tight as a spring. Why can't Hazel introduce him to one of her friends?

    Hmmmm, I thought Darcey's daughters were rude and entirely too grown-acting. The MAN said he didn't want the food? Who the hell is Aniko to further question him as to why not? And to tell both her mother and Jesse, they are acting her age??? True or not, that is so not her place. And the damn nerve of little Aspen to outright contradict Jesse and tell her mother she was NOT starting. OMG, unless your adult mother asks you for help or to call 911, just be quiet! 11 and 12 y/os should not be critiquing adults on their behavior over dinner. That scene was shocking to me. 

    TBH, I don't think Paul is all that bad (the one glaring exception is the arson). Seems like he could be good husband to the right Alpha type woman. I think y'all are being a bit hard on Paul. 

    Why didn't Graceline (Karine's mother) color her hair for he wedding? Nothing fancy...just a box of Ms Clairol from the supermarket? Why attend your daughter's (televised) wedding w/ 2 inches of graying roots? I don't get it.

    Bangs and highlights, Rachel! Ugh but why do those two look and act so old!?

    i'm awful...but Ricky lives a few miles from me...I Googled his address. Nice, nondescript, boring suburban home. Not sure what I was looking for but I didn't find it.

    Nothing has solidified my commitment to eating an exclusively plant-based diet like these on-location 90 day Fiance Parts Unknown food scenes. A whole, dead, unhatched raw duck?! Please tell me hazard pay is standard in the contracts. 

    Why didn't Karine's dad make any effort? Maybe they didn't have the funds, or it's all make believe, so they figured, why bother? Although,that little party on the boat looks nice, and looks like it cost a pretty penny.

    (snipped for length)

    Gotta say, gun to my head, I am team Jesse AT THE MOMENT.  Darcy just won't shut the hell up EVER.  I hate people that interrupt and talk over and can't let anything go.  Pretty much drunks.  Right now the ball is in her court and she still looks like an idiot.  Jesse swinging with her sister would crack me up.  Getting my ticket for the train to hell.

     

    I have to say, I'm team "Get The Hell Off My TV Already, Both Of You!"  Jesse and Darcy deserve each other.  Jesse is trying hard to play grown up, and Darcy is playing the female victim to the hilt.  Would some burly man rescue her from that monster, Jesse, already?

    I didn’t think Dean was all that loud or scary. He didn’t raise his hand or threaten her. Tarik  didn’t have to get up and protect her from him, nor did he go overboard defending her. IMO he may not have liked the way Dean asked the questions but he wasn’t upset that he asked. I wonder just what she has told him about the situation with her son. Tarik has expressed his concern about Hazel’s feelings for him. Yes he is hot for her, but he also wants her to feel the same about him. As stupid as we may feel these guys are, both Tarik and Ricky must have gotten the impression that the women WANTED THEM. If all Hazel wants is a ticket to the USA, I don’t think Tarik is  on board with that. He’s looking for a hot wife and decent stepmother for his child. I don’t think he wants someone he needs to prompt to kiss him, or who submits to his sexual advances as part of a deal she’s made in return for passage to the USA. His concern would be that once settled, green card in hand and possibly reunited with her child, she’d dump him. So while Dean was forceful and pointed in his demeanor, the questions were the same that Tarik has and probably doesn’t ask. 

    It will be interesting to see if the confrontation pushes them apart or brings them closer.

    And I could be way off base here, but I'm willing to bet Hazel knows a few good moves (well placed kicks or jabs) to protect herself from a man.  I feel like she's had to learn those moves. Just a hunch.

    Was that a TEFLON pan they were cooking it in ? GROSS!!!! Rubbery grey steak ewwww I have friends from Europe and when they come they go gaga over our huge portions of thick steak, which is 4X less expensive than there. Jesse picked steak as the entree choice. He is a psycho. She would have picked as it has been said upthread spaghetti and meatballs or chicken of some sort.  I love their Air BnB though that is the only good thing they have brought to this season. Runner up their diet plan of fight and exit. I need that diet in my life.  

    OMG these two HAVE GOT TO learn a common language. Duo Lingo app, people!!!! Also I saw Paul wearing a Staehle Fabricating shirt that was blue w/the khakis I think that explains why Paul has this uniform of blue shirt and khakis, this Fabricating place I believe his dad owns, has the Blue top , khakis uniform a la Best Buy. 

    BAAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

    I think she knows her daughter is PG. Dad doesn't. Mom does. She is covering for her like Lady Grantham covering for Lady Mary & Mr. Pamuk on Downton Abbey. Mom Kareeenee is trying to get her married pronto. 

    Yes! That is EXACTLY how I interpret her tears.  She's not crying because her daughter has hooked her wagon to Paul...she's crying because now her daughter is in the unfortunate situation where *that* is the best choice.

    I think I wore that same shirt that Tarik was wearing when I was in 5th grade, over a white t-shirt, circa 1994.

    Really?  I didn't get that vibe from her at all.  Melissa, yes, but not Ximena.

    Yes, I like Ximena.  She has a wholesome, sweet look about her.  I don't know if she could pull that off if her long-term work were...um...entertaining men.

    Just watched it.  Good Lort!  I hate these people yet I can not turn away!

    Angela- I give her props for learning a few phrases and how to greet Michael's mother.  It's more than most of the 90 day fiancee gang does.  However she lost me with the ciggies and the way she acted at the market. I don't think he meant to be insulting by calling her fat.   English is not his or the shopgirl's first language so I think he was trying to correctly explain the situation using correct terms and it just came out wrong.  He was trying to do something nice for granny and she couldn't just accept it. She would probably look thinner in a Nigerian dress, all covered up, without back fat hanging out.

    Rickey- Not only does he wear camo, he wears clashing camo as an all over outfit.  I'm thinking this whole trip wasn't about meeting Melissa, he just wanted time away from his children and responsiblities and failures of everyday life to have a boinkfest.  I love that he's all" I want to be a gentleman and not pressure her....." cause he just totally planned this trip without her input and showed up and demanded she meet with him and drop everything to hang out with him.  It seems like tricky rickey has another lady in line .  Shopping for stepmoms in columbia.

     

    Tarik-ki tikki tavi- Hazel can do so much better.  I love that he wore his best pharroh tank top to meet her parents.  No one knows how to make a great first impression like this bozo. Yes, the church service was weird and too long.  Tar pit needs to understand that this is ingrained in Hazel, she will likely carry some of her beliefs with her and might even want to go to church if she comes to America.  If she's away from home, lonely, etc.... she might draw into that sort of community and have deeper beliefs even if she seems non religious away from her parents NOW.

     

    Jesse/Darcy- Dang her sister is the younger looking /prettier twin!  Jesse is always threatening to just full leave.  Then leave!  No one wants to see them!  I usually tune these two out, but I wanted to see the house they were staying in- it was very pretty and definitely the star of their segment.  Even if I believed this was a real actual relationship; they would never make it- they are fighting over how to eat pizza and elbows so there is no hope.

     

    Karine/Pol- I hate Paul more each week.  Probably the only way Karine can deal with him is to tune him out by focusing on social media and not caring about anything.  She does act like a 12 year old, but he probably likes it.  Her parents always seem so nice and caring.  They probably know she'll have a better life in the US so they okayed the relationship.

     

    The Lucy show- I really didnt think Jon's sister was rude at all.  She probably knows and has dealt with Jon's behavior and girlfriends forever and I do think she's tired of it and was trying to warn rachel .  And yes, Rachael needs a makeover; you can go to nice goodwills and get really cute flattering outfits so she has no excuse to wear baggy t-shirts and jeans every single day.

    Unless that's what she likes/prefers to wear.

    I think that they are living together is great , because now it is real life and not the fantasy. A stunning sexy photo online of an exotic foreign beauty, whom you chat with and seems super sweet is indeed exciting and a promise of a wonderul romantic life. You visit and go on a few dates and both are on their best behavior so you propose. Now it is real. Kriny is nothing special. She is really lazy, she is really immature and he hit the nail on the head that she is like a 12 year old.  Pole seems to be very organized, likes a clean house, at least understands what being an adult entails. Now I think he is getting to know the real Kriny and I almost feel sorry for him. She is simply awful, not the Brazilian fantasy woman.  They are so very mismatched.

    As for Hazel wow I kept thinking about the camera crew, I think with the production there are usually 4 people in tow. How were they getting up those steps and into that tiny apartment to film? You really see how very poor these countries are and why these women will take anyone who will take them to America. Even a lower middle class life here is so far superior to their living conditions in Philippines and Nigeria.  I don't mind Tarik, yes the dumb shirts and hat, but he seems like a nice and decent man with nice looks. Again he does not know Hazel at all. I doubt she is as lazy as Kriny is though, man what a piece of work.

    If she is pregnant, she may not be lazy, but may be consumed with the overwhelming fatigue that comes in the first trimester.  Not that I'm defending her at all.

    Absolutely! One look at those living conditions should be enough to raise suspicions that this relationship isn't simply based on true love. And not even in a sinister "man trap" way, but in a pragmatic way. At the very least it should smack them into reality and prompt them to have a very frank and open discussion about what their foreign partner's expectations are for the relationship. Do they expect money to be sent back every month to their family? If so, how much? Do they understand how much the American person makes each month, not only in terms of $$$ amount, but in terms of purchasing power and living expenses? But silly me, it would take maturity and honesty to have that conversation, and would require diverting way too much blood from the genitals to the brain, so it's not going to happen.

    Similar argument for Hazel's church service. Personally, I would have found it fascinating to sit through, but you can bet that it would have been followed by a LONG conversation with my beloved about what our expectations were for the religious aspect of our relationship, especially regarding any future children. A shrug and a brief "whatever makes her happy" is not nearly sufficient.

    Yes. Yes, they do.  I knew a man who married a girl from the Philippines.  She lives similarly to Hazel. In fact, she worked in another country as a domestic, and sent money back home.  When she married this man (and her family similarly showed up at the airport with a welcome banner, it was expected that her new "rich" husband would regularly send money back to her family (as well as other items).

    Correct me if I'm wrong here. If Karineee is preggers then it can't be Pole's, right? They have been apart for months, then she lies and said the preg test was negative. I'm not sure what she's up to but it's shady AF. 

    She can't say she's pregnant, otherwise he'd "know." So she does the  next best thing: pushes him to start a family, and after he agrees, she "magically" becomes pregnant. And her - and Paul's -  baby is born very premature.

    So Jon and Rachel have been "dating" for over a year, Lucy is 8 months old...and yet, Jon hasn't done any research on babies? Rachel and Lucy arrive and it appeared that he didn't even have a mattress on the crib?  Lucy makes a noise that didn't even resemble crying, and Jon instructs Rachel to make her stop crying because it's stressing him out.  Huh?!

    I know! She was cooing and babbling!  If he thinks that's crying....he's in for a rude awakening!

    Off topic rant—I know it’s amusing to make fun of Angela and make implications that people from the south are like her or they live in trailers, have confederate flags in their yards, are racist, and have children while they are pre-teens—but as a southerner it’s annoying. I’m not remotely like her (nor is my family). I’ve been fortunate to travel all over the US and Europe and there are “rednecks” everywhere. 

    As a Buckeye, I feel the same way when idiot Ohians are featured on the show.  It is what it is.

    Well, she's 22 years older than he is, so it is physiologically possible for her to be his Grandma.   And she's from the south, so only a few years away from it being sociologically acceptable : ) 

    That would mean his mother had him at the ripe of old age of 11, and her mother had her at 11, as well, wouldn't it?  I guess if it's happened once, according to the Enquirer, it can happen twice.

    Annie was like that saying how she thought everyone in America lives in a big house and drives a fancy car.  I wish.

    Funny you should say that, I was thinking Angela is what  a grown up Honey Boo Boo would be like.

    I saw that post - after I made mine, of course!

  16. I would never, never, never go on TV to announce the fact that I'd had sex with a perfect stranger, much less giggle over how many times it was, and start going for #3 or #4 right then and there. I mean, how in the world does she think that's ok?  This woman has absolutely no boundaries. Cringeworthy, Angela...cringeworthy.  Maybe it's the fact that I just turned 53 that her antics disgust me even more.  Others may find her openness refreshing.  I just can't get past her lack of decorum.

    Really? I know lots of single woman who would like to meet a single guy, and the numbers of available ones drop as women get older. Maybe they want someone who doesn't have a criminal record...is employed...is not deeply angry or bitter..and doesn't abuse alcohol, drugs, or their GFs/wives. Height or handsomeness not as important as some other things. If this describes you, it's too bad you aren't connecting, or having luck. P.S. I have a brother who married a foreign woman for reasons that included those you mention and it ended in a nuclear divorce, in part because she missed her country, had previously unidentified mental illness, and thought he was too much of a wuss because he didn't order her around or beat her up, and made a teacher's salary. He is a great catch but at age 56 after 15 years of ex drama, he doesn't want to date. 

    Or maybe they want someone who doesn't call them fat.

  18. In the preview for next week: 

    Did Michael say, "Don't BLINK at the dress because she's fat" or "Don't BLING OUT the dress because she's fat", or something entirely different?

     

    On a side note, if you are not watching the screen and are in a different part of the house, Angela's voice sounds a lot like Mama June's. Must be the Georgia.
