So this woman was married for 10 years, but no kids. Clearly she knows how to prevent pregnancy, but just didn’t bother while on vacation?

Somehow I dont think Kenneth will be excited living in a house behind his parents with the in site dog grooming business. 

They're moving, 4 hours away, to a place with better job opportunities, and probably a place more accepting.

Armando is going to give his dad a heart attack.

Paging Ariela's cardiologist father, STAT!

The baby is due on Christmas Day? But there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime!

This doctor's eyebrows speak volumes.

Armando seems self sufficient and mature....definitely not a sex tourist situation 

Yeah. Armando is younger than him but he’s not a kid. He has a career and a business and a child of his own. I’m not seeing anything that says there’s a huge power imbalance.

Can someone tell me what Armando's sad story is? My cable is super glitchy so I missed it

He tried to come out to wife and mother...they couldn’t accept it. Later separated the wife was killed in car accident. He lost best friend. He’s raising the child. Sad.

There's a decent sized gay community in the Tampa Bay area, as well as in south Florida. 

Exactly. Especially St. Pete.

No he attended bilingual school. Most people that do speak standard American English because their English teachers are often young people from the USA. My college roommate is Guatemalan (bilingual school) and all her English teachers were from the states. Also if you start learning a language very young you’re less likely to have an accent. 

After 22 year here in Nth America I still sound as Aussie as Erica. However I was 26 when I moved

[sagittarius sue]

Ariela reminds me of an actress, but I can't remember who.

[tvrox]

I wouldn't want my family's male friend of over 30 years to deliver my baby. Also this doc has a serious tic. 

[Adeejay]

I would hate to be in Ariela's parents shoes.  I would bet good money that they have had many, many sleepless nights.

Yeah that’s very different than moving at 6 compared to 26.

Thanks guys for the explanation about Armando. That is sad. You guys always come through even when my TV betrays me

The cutoff for speaking a language like a native is usually around 10-11 years old. After that, not likely.

Ariela annoys me just by sitting in the chair. She will be my Fast Forward.

So far, they do seem legit and sweet.

But, I still don’t trust anyone who wants to be on this train wreck, so I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[For Cereals]

Please let her get there, see it, hate it, and hike her happy ass back home to have that baby.

Yeah poor guy. And that poor girl has lost her mother.

Jenny should have gotten a job as a law or dental office manager, stayed in Palm Springs, gotten a couple cats, joined a bridge club, and lived a respectable, quiet life.

She probably could have even found an old retiree for a quiet relationship. 

[Angry Moldovan]

My guess is either Brits can’t have children or she’s having her hymen sewn back up

So does Ethiopia just allow any random person to come into their country and give birth, or will she have to pay out of pocket? 

[Frozendiva]

Ariela, you could play it safe, have the baby here, use Facetime or whatever, and then go to Ethiopia maybe 6 months later.

My friend Jolie, who grew up in rural Virginia, moved to Australia right after college and has lived there 25 years. She always visits me when she comes home and she has the most adorable Aussie accent.

My young friend from Moldova moved here when she was nine. She spoke no English when she arrived. I first met her when she was 16, she has no accent at all.

Funny, my cousins who live in Australia speak English really fast. It was suggested that they adopt an American accent when they were in high school so they can be understood better. When I met them last year, they sounded like they've lived here all their life. When they "relaxed", you could definitely hear their Australian accents come through.

Ariela is making Tiffany look smart

[SunnyBeBe]

I’ve done huge age difference relationships before....I can see why it happens, but also why it doesn't. Time does become an issue, imo. But, to each his own. I’m sure it works well for some.

[Pepper Mostly]

Guys. Three hours of this is just too much. I can't keep the Snark-O-Meter idling this long. 

[magemaud]

I get the feeling Ariela is going to bring up her Jewishness as often as Stephanie brought up her illness. (did you know Stephanie has an illness?)

If they hadn't shown her photos growing up, I'd have said she was a man.

Given that, I think her secret is that she's not divorced from a sugar daddy.

Sumit is such a victim.

I’ll check the Couples Threads in a couple of days. That’s where all the best spoilers are. If anyone has the dirt on these two, it’ll be posted there.

Really? When ever I try an American accent people laugh. It’s like a southern/ New York accent rolled into one

[SunnyBeBe]

I’m over Submit and Jenny. 

[KelseyNikki614]

So Sumit likes Jenny because she loves and supports him? Yep, that sounds about right. Nothing about what he likes about her.

Sumit has the body of a retiree

Sumit’s crew doesn’t hold a candle to Miykul’s gang.
