Bahtman Penguin is drinking probably because he knows deep down that Annie is using him for a green card. He is broke and he is so screwed with life in general. I pity him. I'm sure he is not a bad guy. He is only 48 yo. but he walks/moves like a 68 yo. Very sad. He put himself under lots of stress by getting married with a foreign lady. I hope he can turn his life around. He's got a great lady with him...he is lucky to have a second chance with life.

This whole thing seems very fake to me. Chris financing his friend, David starting over in the USA from nothing, Nikki enduring this mess in her house... That seems very fishy to me. I would not be surprised if Chris and David are using this show only to spike TLC interest of their own "pilot" reality show, Fantasy Thailand ( Look for it on youtube). That would make more sense to me. They probably hired Annie (a bar girl with nothing to lose) and promised her a US green card, little cash and 2 Water Buffaloes, if she plays along.

Yeah, I really hope she is just using him for the green card so she can find a job and dump his sorry butt. But who knows, maybe she is really in love with him and wants his babies. (Scary thing I know).

Another thing I don't understand about this Thai culture. Why it is required to buy 11 Baht of gold ($6,800.00) to your fiancée when 95% of the people in this country are broke as dirt??

Annie could just let her diabetic husband drink to his death. No matter what, its going to be a tough road for Annie. I feel for her. She has been given a choice of staying in Thailand and remain a poor farm/bar/ prostitute girl or marrying this destitute guy and hoping for the best.

It's probably secured with the TLC money. I'm assuming David is getting paid to appear on this show, right?

I just don't understand how someone can bring a foreign wife-to-be so unprepared like David Poor is. And I don't understand how Annie could fall for this guy. I would think this show is totally scripted so it gets good ratings. I cant imagine people can be that stupid and desperate.
