I think the whole Jess/Coltee is a producer set up. I don't believe she's interested in him or that they had sex. 

I'm over Libby's family. 

Pole is...disturbed. 

I would NOT take my kids to anyplace during a measles outbreak, whether they were vaccinated or not. They're very young.

Sadly, this has been the case since Day One on this show.  I don't see how he was allowed on the show OR to travel to another country.  I've been worried about every human who associates with him.

I feel sorry for her family who actually thought marrying him would give her opportunities she'd never otherwise have. That makes me sad.

For me...only if he "runs" and is never heard from again.  If they stay in KY, Karinee and Pierreeee might be eligible for some sort of government benefits: county state, federal? Surely Pole is going to piss off the wrong person some day.  His Social Security is probably nil, so survivor benefits wouldn't cut it.

Larissa's date reminded me that her delusional hypocrisy could actually be funny:

 

Matt: Are you into philanthropy?

Larissa: No.

Matt: Oh! [off-guard chuckle]

No reason to start your relationship on a lie, Larissa.

---

Larissa talking about her kids not coming over with her because she didn't know her ex-husband well. Larissa is telling her story and calls Colt, Coltee...

Matt: What's his name?

Larissa: Coltee

Matt: Colton?

Larissa: Coltee

Matt: Coty? Cody? Cody.

Larissa: No, Colt.

Matt: Coat? Colt?

Larissa: Yeah, Colt. It's a weird name, I know.

-----

He came across to me as knowing she wasn't being honest about the reason she gave for being arrested three times, but it's a first date so downplaying her actions is probably to be expected.

Yeah, it kinda sucks. We have some good programs here, but they're often difficult to qualify for and Karine would still be stuck with Paul. With a baby they'd technically qualify for income-based housing (not Section 8 because we're capped on that at the moment), but the reality is that we have more people than available housing. Our state's economy is very shaky, even in our bigger cities and pre-pandemic, and Paul's going to have trouble finding work, what with his history and past job performance. I bet that's why he's encouraging her to do the OnlyFans stuff. They'd be better off moving closer to me. The cost of living here is 60% less than where they're at. I have a farm with acreage and a nice house with ample square footage with a workshop, barn, and writing studio and my mortgage is less than $700 a month. They could potentially live here on Cameo and appearance money, which would at least be something. It's sad to think that she was probably better off in the poor village that took 4 days to access via the Amazon River.

I hope she's able to take some free ESL classes (I volunteered and taught them at an adult Ed center for awhile) and continues to improve her English. That will at least give her a little more freedom in that she won't totally have to rely on Paul for everything. Can you imagine her being in a foreign country with no real friends or support system and being completely at PAUL'S mercy? She was already having some post-partum issues. If I were her I'd focus on improving my English, learning to drive, volunteering at an immigrant resource center, etc. This is one situation where I'd advocate for the woman to break off from the American spouse. It's not that I am a huge Karine fan, but I am a fan of women succeeding in general.

While watching the preview online, I wasn't paying attention and it started streaming the next show on the site.  It was a show about Nicole and Azan.  I almost had a heart attack thinking they were back.  I couldn't handle a season with Grangela, Pole, and Nicole.

I don't think colt cares about his chances at another K1 visa because I don't think he really intends to get married again until mother Debbie kicks the bucket.

I’m so over Libby and Andrrrrrrrrrrrrrré!  Why does she wait until they’re talking to his family to disagree with the wedding plans? When he brought it up at Daddy’s bday party, she acted like it was all a big surprise to her too. Is she afraid to have a discussion about anything at home?  Or is she a big fat liar, manipulating everyone? She wants her family to think André is the inconsiderate one, who makes all the plans without consulting her. Everyone feel sorry for Libby because she has such a horrible inconsiderate husband.  He is a demanding ass but she’s a conniving spoiled brat. I’m sick of them both. 

Mother Pole will probably end up taking in Karina and Pierreee when Pole goes full-on psycho and torches the house one day.

Colt is a disgusting pig. What the fuck is wrong with Jess? Is she wanted for murder back in Brazil?  There have to be some pretty gruesome skeletons in her closet if Colt is the best American she can fall in love with trap.

Larissa’s date was pretty funny. The constant nervous laughing made her look like and sound an idiot.  I guess she trolling for a new man to pay for all of her “enhancements”.  Where did they dig that guy up? 

Angela’s granddaughter looks just like her, poor child. Who gets the aig when HugeAnge kicks the bucket?

The new DVR has been successfully installed - with a great deal of help from the cable company's technical support area. So, who knows, I might have access to more channels!

Just watched the 20 minute preview this evening.

I felt for Mother Karine - her daughter will now be in some foreign place, her English skills are not great, and she is dependent on Pole. Hopefully his mother will be some sort of help to her or she can connect with some Portuguese folks in the new home. She is not like a Juliana who has decent English and can escape. Karine at this point has few options.

Don't know if I believe Colt and Jess. They seem so ill-matched and seem only to be in to each other for a long weekend. She is only looking to stay in the US and he may be a means to her end. The dance sequence was awkward. I don't know why she is in love with him. Bizarre. Wait til she meets Debbie!

Larissa's blind date is well above her. He saw the Green Card interest coming from a mile away. No, Larissa probably has no idea what philanthrophy is - maybe some sort of herbee? She revealed her true self in no time. The exchange about Coltee, Coty, et al was funny. Don't think there will be a second date. He seemed like he was hired by producers to go out with her.

Seems like there needs to be a visit to the mobile home communities in Arizona. Some retirees live in luxury.  Lower-income families have clean, comfortable safe places to live that are larger than my 1000sf home.  And everything in between. But if you mean trailer...as some tiny shed-type one pulls behind a pickup...maybe you have something there.

Although people ARE doing some pretty amazing things with shipping containers these days! 😁 

My grandmother, who grew up in a boarding house her parents ran for miners in Harlan County (KY), always said that it's not the house or level of poverty that made people trashy, it's how they act. She was a big fan of taking pride in her home, whether it was the old farmhouse she raised her kids in or the income-based apartment she spent her last few years in. She always made the best of whatever she had.

(Besides, we've seen how Pole and Kreenie live. Whether they're in a chicken coop or a brand new McMansion I feel like they're still going to be a few stops short of qualifying for HOARDERS.)

Yes! I was trying to think of who he reminded me of. He’s like a combination of Don Jr., Mark Consuelos, and Fievel Mouskewitz. He looks someone who didn’t get the call back for The Bachelorette and auditioned for the part of “greasy, used luxury car salesman type to play the date of self-absorbed neglectful mother.”

I agree she has some major hurdles to overcome and she is further handicapped from having such limited life experiences in general.  Learning English is a real priority but you know she has had plenty of time to work on that already and hasn't accomplished a lot.  Unfortunately my prediction is she will probably end up pregnant again soon but hopefully I'm wrong.  I hope she meets some new people and makes a good friend.

Karine DID take ESL classes in Brazil...Still, it's often easier to learn another language when you have to. I say this as someone who only had a rudimentary grasp of German until I moved to Austria. When she's out in Walmart and needs to pee or wants to know where the diapers are? She'll learn.

Besides, I think Karine's English is improving. At least she tried. It's Paul who didn't try to assimilate in Brazil.

Her brother and other family members live full-time in the city. I think Gracilene stays there for long periods of time so that she can see her grandkids. Since it's so difficult to get back and forth to Tonatins it would make sense to not want to do it often. 

My confusion stems from the city apartment and the Tonatins house. In one episode they're moving into the apartment, in another they're moving into the house, and then suddenly they're back in the apartment again.

I mean of course there is the famous Point Dume and Paradise Cove mobile home parks in Malibu where a mobile home can set you back literally millions of dollars but the general issue is mobile homes are typically depreciating assets, difficult to maintain and ironically difficult to move and most people do not own the underlying land which makes for a huge mess in a lot of situations.

If you own the underlying land and can afford the upkeep, mobile homes are not the worst idea, the problem is many mobile homes end up basically immovable, in disrepair on leased land which just creates a circling drain of poverty and poor conditions.

I could've sworn, however, the story last season was that her dad paid for the first wedding, and because I apparently have way too much time on my hands, I went back and watched the previous episode to confirm.  Meaning, we have a prior episode in which they unambiguously say that Elizabeth's dad paid for their first wedding, and then we see them just as clearly say on this episode that Andrei paid for the first wedding with his savings. 

This is from an article over a year ago: "Andrei tries to explain his family didn’t get to be involved in the first wedding. Then Elizabeth...reminds her folks that Andrei is the youngest of his family...Her dad Chuck reminds them he paid for their first wedding. Elizabeth snaps at him “as a father should”. Andrei says it cost him a lot of money too."

You're right, both of them are taking credit for paying for the wedding, which was pretty modest by today's standards, and probably much less expensive than any of Libby's sisters' weddings. I thought the idea all along was for Libby and Andrei to pay for their small wedding in America and later have another wedding in Moldova on Chuck's dime. 

I was thinking more about this while I was trying to fall asleep (don't judge) and IIRC, Libby and Andrei's wedding was a "quickie" designed to meet their 90 day requirement. I'm not sure who paid for it, but there was definitely talk about having Libby's dream wedding in Moldova in the future ensuring they'd be back for another season-just like Pedro and Chantel's second wedding in "The Dominican" during their second HEA season.

The 2nd wedding shows what a waste the first wedding was.  It wasn't Libby's dream of snow-covered mountaintop, where she arrived by horse-drawn carriage, and it wasn't in Andrrrrei's Church of Moldova, which suddenly is mandatory.  They should have married in a civil ceremony to fulfill the K-1 requirement and had a reception after.  And, more importantly, they should have decided wedding and religion to raise their child in before the actual marriage.

Once Eleanor is baptised in Andrrrrei's church, will he take responsibility for her religious upbringing?  Her godparents most likely will be his family members or friends who will remain in Moldova.  

Finally - regarding the Coven's complaints that they'd have to get passports: the one sister said that she married in Belgium last year.  She smugly noted that she and her husband gave the family enough lead time.   The passports of most, if not all, family members would probably still be valid (unexpired) if they all attended that wedding.

Baby Eleanor looks just like Andrrrrrrrré. That has to piss off the evil sisters. Libby is a spoiled brat who didn’t really need another wedding gown. That said, the bitchy sister just had to shit all over the dress experience by griping about Andrrrrrrré. Then her mother chimes in to say her precious daughter shouldn’t have to wear a conservative dress because she’s an American. Why not just video chat with his family and say fuck you and your church? 

Does grifter Sister Asuelo realize he has 2 kids he’s supposed to be supporting?  Family Asuelo probably plants a sibling on every continent to see who sends the most money home.

I don't like ansuelu.  He is the dumbest guy in the room but has to nerve to think woman can't be doctors and that his wife didn't understand what the doctor was saying.  Even if the woman was a nurse she STILL has worlds more knowledge then ansuelu. 

And yeah, maybe he was just asking because he thought they still had to see the doctor, but I didn't get that impression.  

He is a moron and kalani is an even bigger moron for entertaining any of this.  The minute the doctor said that it would be better for Kennedy to the vaccine at 12 months that conversation would have been a wrap for me.  

Ansuelu is barely doing anything anyways, she should let him visit his family alone.  He works part time at the frozen yogurt place and doesn't help very much with the children ...just let him go alone and don't give him access to a shared bank account because his family is very pushy.  

But good on kalani for fixing her terrible parking job.
