I don’t like tattoos but find Michael strangely attractive and amusing. And his son adores him!

Yeah I’m not into tattoos either, but Michael is a nice looking man. He and Mercy seem well suited & an authentic relationship. The fact that his son is so personable and adores him is to his credit as a father.

Catching up on the newest episode. (Episode 6)

Rebekah cracked me up when she said she spent so much money on Toblerone in the gift shop to see Christian. Toblerone is yummy.

 

Alejandro had every right to be upset with the insinuation that his family would STEAL Kadie’s family’s possessions. Why are people crying? I don’t get it.

And why were her relatives, right down to the grandmother, acting like a bunch of drunken 16 year olds who had never interacted with human beings before?   I know, I know... it's like we've never seen this show.

Shane:  "no one will know I was born a boy".  Honey, Stevie Wonder can see you were born a boy.  Shane uses a "boy's" name, doesn't care about pronouns and Mum refers to Shane as him/he and also her "son".  I have to remind myself Shane isn't simply a man clearly dressing in drag for a performance and that people aren't supposed to know Shane's biology at birth.

I just saw last week's episode yesterday. What are they on about with her birth certificate being out of date according to Mexican authorities? Surely everyone everywhere only gets one birth certificate & it's only out of date once the person who's certificate it is expires.

She said in Mexico birth certificates are only valid for x amount of time and must be reissued for use in official paperwork. (Like a passport I guess- your information doesn’t change but they make you reapply to get a certified copy)”?)

Yeah it was very strange. Made me wonder how people who have these destination weddings in Mexico manage because both the US & UK governments would just laugh at you if you asked for a "new" birth certificate with a use by date on it so that it was still valid. I guess I'm just dense because I don't understand how anyone ever gets married there that doesn't live there or was born there.

I’m 99% sure my birth certificate has an “issue” date on it (I’m USC). I last got copies issued in 2001 when I got my first drivers license. I am not married or partnered, I have had no name changes and I haven’t needed to present it recently. 
 

Formats/information do change on birth certificates (mine doesn’t have race on it, and now they have parent 1/parent 2 rather than mother/father only). I could see a situation where if she had her birth certificate from childhood, or the hospital version not the certified government version it wouldn’t be valid for the marriage.

Yes! I don’t know who’s been lying to Shane but it’s very obvious he was born a boy. The long hair,spray tan,makeup, dresses isn’t enough to hide it, The voice,height,body shape, face is still very much male. If Shane feels like a women, that’s great, live your life, be happy, but shane’s friends/family should be honest knowing Shane is traveling to a country where he could literally be killed for being trans.

“Chicken” (can’t remember names) is an absolute idiot. Her poor son.  He’s way smarter, saner and more reasonable than his mom.

She’s going to be a 40something single mother to a man child’s baby. I hope her son doesn’t allow himself to get sucked into taking care of the baby.

Sadly, she deserves everything coming to her. She saw this coming and family/friends warned her, so I doubt she’ll get much sympathy.

Oh lord, the gal with the DR player is not going to end well. She does know they both aren’t rich right? Gurl has champagne tastes on a beer budget. I really don’t understand her.

It's 100% the fault of her mother but she's also crazy & this is her first boyfriend, reminded me of Pedro & Pinky in more than just looks.

Yes. Again, why is she moving there and thinking about marrying him with knowing nothing of the situation. She could've continued to date him if she wanted and get her bearings. 

 

I really want to see more of Michael and Mercy, who will likely have more real life issues when people from different cultures get married.

I love Jesse and I agree that he's seen some things.

I don't think his hair is "crazy" thats how it grows out of his scalp. I do think he could shape it up a bit if he wants to wear it loose.

But the way she was doing his hair, maybe things are different in the UK/ Columbia regarding communities of color, but Jose is not her CHILD, she doesn't need him to comb his hair for him. It's a bonding experience to braid your daughter/son's hair (and she didn't even do a good job with it, I didnt know what she was doing). As a grown ass woman I wouldn't expect anyone besides my hair stylist to braid my hair for me. That along with his infantile behavior. Maybe I just don't like Louise, if she had done some decent cornrows for him or braids I probably wouldn't be aggravated. 

[judylo]

So glad no Louise and Jose this week!

Plenty to hate-watch, though, with Tionne and Mercy.

Hope all continues to go well with Shane and Mert.

Shane and Mert seem really precious, not perfect of course but their emotions seem genuine. Their conflicts seem organic to their cultural differences. I wish them all the best.

For some reason, maybe it’s the genuineness, they really are charming. Hopefully their issues were played up for the show and they have a great future together.

Im getting the feeling the stuff in the preview is usual "couple stuff" but hyped up for the storyline. I liked Shane's dress, but to me it wasnt any less revealing than the one she said was too revealing for Mert's family!

Lol I thought the same thing the dress she chose was just as revealing.

Also, I was thinking, along with them being charming Shane and Mert are the only couple not giving massive red flags. I don’t even know where to begin with Tionne. 😂🤦‍♀️

[essexjan]

I grew up in the town Tianna lives - Derby in the east Midlands. She lives in a council house (social housing - nothing wrong with that, but own it girl, you are not from money), and has champagne tastes on a cheap wine budget. She has a broad Derby accent (a sign of being low-class) but thinks she's all that, and on top of everything else is an Olympic-level nag, driven by jealousy. Her DR man needs to get out, as she has all the signs of being an abuser.

Michael is what we in the UK would call a chav. Women steer clear of his type, as they tend to be controlling.

Louise is insane to have married that idiot. Her son has more common sense in his little finger than she and Chickenman put together.

For anyone who's interested, here's an article from The Guardian (UK newspaper) about Clacton. I've been there once, and it is an absolute dump. It has a district called Jaywick which is like a shanty town. I'm not surprised Mercy doesn't like it.

It looked to be a small economically depressed city. I don’t doubt Mercy could make friends, but doesn’t Michael have a business and his son there? It’s not like it’s easy for him to leave. Also it’s not as if he lived in London or a suburb with a large Kenyan community where should could interact with people from her culture while he was at work. I think these two will make it though. I think Mercy wants to be married to him it’s not just the fairytale she thought.

This tell all is as bad as the ones in the US. Boring but with a more annoying host.

I’m sitting down to watch the tell all. I like Shane in the green, and I think Mercy looks great with the lighter color hair. Her dress doesn’t fit right but that warm auburn suits her!

 

Jesse clearly still has a great deal of sense, I’m glad someone pointed that out- BUT Whats he supposed to do? Shane had a point, Jesse looked miserable, the $$ for appearing must’ve been worth it since his Mom was determined to do this thing. Yes, Louise and Jose having a baby was quick and ridiculous but the baby is here now they can’t undo it!

 

I liked this Tell All. The host was a little snarky and it was fun. I wonder what happened between Kadie and Alejandro.

I’m watching Season 3 Episode 1 at this very moment. 

[Realitystarr]

I'm watching right now too. I have Discovery+ and it's only showing two  , EPISODE1 AND EPISODE3. What happened to 2?

I’m starting Season 3 Ep. 2 but am so distracted by the bad teeth.

[DanaMB]

Lady with the 21 yr old from the DR…  think I’m jaded by the OG, but a 13 year difference doesn’t seem that much after Angela, Kenny, and the Burger King head guy. 
 

I mean, she’s still an idiot. And every time we see Johan I wonder if there’s a baby’s arm involved. 

[DanaMB]

What’s interesting to me is the men are much more open about being opportunistic. Unfortunately, the women are dumber than some of the dumbest Americans we’ve seen.  And I need subtitles for that one woman with the guy from Turkey. 
 

Four eps in and still no Chicken. Not enough material?

There is a narration included in the video that describes how the people look, physically and what they’re wearing, how they look at each other, etc. It’s an option that is not caption but actual voice narration…

This is what I found but haven’t found out from Sony or Discovery+ how to turn it off.

“Due to FCC regulation, Discovery Channel has been directed to provide descriptive audio (DA) for viewers who are blind or visually impaired. Therefore, select programming will contain audio-narrated descriptions of key visual elements in natural pauses between the program’s dialogue. Each subscription TV provider required to carry it will have instructions for their viewers on how to access it”.

I think I had that option on my Roku that started happening when I hit something by accident, is that what you're using ? I have no idea about Discovery+ though as I go through Max & haven't come across this happening there.

[IvySpice]

I'm not having the problem with scene narration. I'm watching through Max on my Firestick, if that makes a difference.

Blondie and her Egyptian man are in SO much denial! We're getting the same formulas over and over, but somehow I keep watching.

Sprite levels with the camera: "He's more into me; I'm not that into him." This is one I don't understand because Sprite looks like he could attract a nice rich daddy bear who lives in London. If he's going to be with a chunky guy he's not that attracted to, I'd expect it to be one with a townhouse in the West End.

They must be doing it for the cameras, because Sprite is always cuddled up with him and if he was disgusted by him as he claims,  I could see him refusing to sleep in the same bed.
