S07.E01: I Want To Kiss You

[Frozendiva]

Do these folks do an Internet search or some sort of background check on their beloveds? If I am bringing some dude over or a dude was bringing a woman over, I would not be fully sucked in by a nice body or batting eyelashes. I would want to know about any criminal record, if the dude is a pedophile or is on some sex offender list. A few hundred dollars to spend to not find out that I would risk being beaten or attacked, kids attacked, etc. is a good investment.

Interesting her last name is Maduro, the same last name as the Socialist dictator of Venezuela.  I wonder if she is any relation.

Watching a donkey kick a guy in the nuts would be more entertaining and less cringeworthy than continuing to watch Angela’s antics at this point. Coincidentally that is also the equivalent of her relationship.

At this point I'd rather watch a donkey kick Angela for an hour than to "catch up" with her "story."

 I’m a disturbed that Juliana was asked if she had been working as a prostitute in the last 10 years—since that could potentially mean she was a sex trafficked child.  I wonder if she has an arrest for prostitution on her record? or perhaps got arrested for recruiting other girls?

 Lots of rich Russian oligarchs like to party in countries like Croatia.  They like pretty girls and they have yachts.

 In any case, I hope Juliana takes wine guy for every penny he has.

Spot on!!!  But I think wine guy’s baby mama will keep an eye on things.

It’s  a sad fact of life since the beginning of time that beautiful women from poor countries are exploited by men from wealthy countries.  Shame on you TLC for showing this relationship.

The one that lives in Colchester, CT?  That's the town right next to the farm I co-own.  Unfortunately, I won't be back there until the end of the month, but I guess the town now has a chance to become famous/infamous.

I will have to look around when I'm grocery shopping (there's only one big grocery store in the town).

To be clear, recruit, you've been assigned Tania and her shed.  Good luck.

Angela is going to end up like Nicole.  Eventually Michael won't want to film anymore, and BLOOP goes her storyline. 

It amazes me how many of these Americans with minor children have no problem inviting a stranger from another country, in some cases who doesn't speak English, to live with them and their minor children.  I agree that Robert is looking for a surrogate wife for him and a surrogate mother for her son, probably because he can't afford a nanny on an Uber driver's salary.  It also amazes me that they consider themselves to be in a "relationship" when they've only face timed and messaged each other. 

Maybe these folks feel that Americans are "tainted" in some way, while foreigners are "pure?"  I don't know.

I couldn't agree more!  I've been dating my high school crush for almost two years and we still haven't introduced our children to each other!  And I'm in no hurry to do so!  I just don't understand how people so quickly bring someone into their children's lives.    And good luck when your 18 year-old declares they are in love and want to marry.  Unless you are going for the "look how badly it worked for me," you have zero leg to stand on when you tell them they are being impetuous.

I also am amazed that people can declare themselves to be in love when there's a language barrier that requires an app to make conversation.

[Neurochick]

I'm sick of Angela and her fake storyline.  I can't wait until Michael pulls an Azan and decides he doesn't want the "fame" of being on a reality show.   Then Angela can go the way of Nicole, bye bye.

I think it's a pretty major stretch to assume that a boy with long hair is "being treated like a little girl." That little boy appeared to have the latitude to do whatever he wanted, from what little we saw of him making aggressive noises and climbing all over his dad/the sofa. It's quite a leap to assume that a little boy with a ponytail is being "treated like a little girl." I'm not sure where that idea came from, but we haven't even seen 10 whole minutes of Robert's son yet and he's still only a toddler, so it seems awfully premature to assume he's "confused about his gender" or anything along those lines. 

I suspect the ponytail is the least of this child's issues. He seems to have some behavioural concerns that could be due to any number of things, including complete lack of parental guidance, or something from birth stemming from mother's possible substance abuse. Or maybe he is simply performing for the cameras. Something doesn't seem right to me.

Someone was trying to figure out who the beekeeper reminded them of during live show. To me, she reminds me of Elizabeth Johnson from TLC's 7 Little Johnstons. I can't post link of her photo right now.

So what is up with Tania "self identifying" as Latina? I'm bi-racial... I didn't know I had a choice which race I can identify? Is this a thing? I'm on the wrong side of 30, so I guess I'm an old. What else would she identify as? Maybe her Father is another race? 

Now don’t get mad at me, Cammi, but Latina is not a race. I’m As Euro/Caucasian as can be and Hispanic/Latina (depending on which coast I’m living in). Second generation Argentinian.

More importantly I finally figured out who Tania reminds me of...it was making me a little crazy...she reminds me of one of the deckhands from Season 2 of Below Deck. She was falling for the Amy’s brother.  Thank you Jesus, I can rest my little brain. 
 

[Madding crowd]

It bothered me that BeeKeeper lady said her youngest child is her favorite on TV. How does she think her other children will feel hearing that? Also hated the guy calling his kid a crybaby and monster on tv. Keep the kids out of this.

Angela needs to be gone and who wants to see her botox adventures. I am 99% sure her and Michael's story is fake anyway. I believe they met on a website but I think she talked him into pretending to be engaged so they could get on TV. Michael always looks way too calm while she is ranting and raving. Maybe they will prove me wrong, but she has been on Jerry Springer and I think this is just the same thing to her. Don't really like any of the new people so far, but of course I will keep watching.

I agree, it was derogatory.  Plus, he didn't just say it once, it was like it was a "nickname" for Bryson.  

I realize Robert has a tough job, raising Bryson alone, after his mother abandoned him.  But, please stop belittling the boy and cut his hair.  He already has sort of feminine features and having him wear that ponytail is setting him up to be bullied in school and confused about his gender.   A young boy, with no mother in his life, who gets bullied, is a recipe for tragedy.   

Instead of importing some hoochie mama gold digger (who will soon find Robert has very few American dollars to harvest), why not try to find a nice, local woman, who loves kids?

Or, here’s an idea. Concentrate on your child

Your mission, @DiamondGirl, should you choose to accept it, is minor stalking and providing us with local color and texture!

Ha, I used "Oh that's OK, you're still little. When you're a little more grown up and have a more sophisticated palate, you'll like them". Though one time I did tell my kid I'd give him a dollar if he ate a carrot.

He's a chef now, he eats everything.

I still have flashbacks of having to sit at the table until I ate all of the liver on my plate.  My kids were never given anything as remotely disgusting as I was. They were simply told that they at least needed to try it, which worked well.

I'm old and haven't gone out on a date since 1984 (married 34 years). I was telling a friend the other day that if I was in the dating game now, I wouldn't even meet a guy for coffee without doing a background check first. The tools who bring them into their home and their children's lives need to be slapped into reality. If you want to bring your online/vacation fuck buddy over from another country, fine. Leave your kids out of it.

Didn't they film Game of Thrones in Croatia? It was King's Landing and it was beautiful!

[configdotsys]

Where to begin. I haven't read the other comments yet and boy oh boy I cannot wait....

The guy with the son. Seriously? Six thousands angry emojis in under a minute because he didn't send her money? She wants an iPhone and a ring on his Uberish salary? She was such a bitch to him that frankly, he deserves whatever misery he gets from her for being so incredibly stupid and clueless. In the clip, the son looks like he is cut from the same cloth as Drascilla.

The rich guy has terrible hair and dresses like such a schlub. Yeah, it's true love with this 22 year old. Nice to see that he has a good relationship with the ex and his kids seem really cool but you can tell there will be friction with the ex as times goes on.

Anna the beekeeper and Mercel. Oh boy. Holy language barrier. This will be interesting.

The girl in Russia with the workout guy is headed for heartbreak. I got an angry vibe from him that was a little scary.

The gal from CT with the South African boyfriend is a class A bitch. She reeks of attitude. This poor dude has no idea what he is in for with her.

More Angela and the beegee? Damn.

Yep, they filmed there. It's a pretty popular spot for rich people with yachts right now. Croatia is my favorite country. Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The island of Hvar is magical. Here's a picture I took of it a few years ago.

I would like for Michael to find a happy life in America. But I can see a scenario where the police turn up to a domestic incident 100% instigated by Angela, and it all ending very badly for Michael. Best case scenario, he gets arrested and it jeopardises his green card. Worst case scenario, he ends up getting shot.

I am not too concerned for Michael's safety, because I have a feeling that the law enforcement in Angela's area is very well acquainted with that family.

I live in Korea. I know people who've lived here for 10+ years and can't/don't speak or read the language. It's really easy when people enable you as they care more about practicing their English (see you as a free teacher) as opposed to helping you integrate. 

I'm currently trying to do some high level things in Korea right now and instead of language help/advice I'm being told to just "ask a Korean friend to manage it all"/ rantover (sometimes its really difficult to do things in a country when people assume you're an idiot).

Does anyone think the American girl in Russia may be a bit smarter than we think?  She only speaks a little Russian? How did she rent an apartment, go food shopping, go to the doctor, get on a bus or train, walk anywhere?
