Scarlett45 July 30, 2023 Share July 30, 2023 Brandan's first night with Mary is not what he imagined; Wayne offends Holly; Daniele and Yohan make a fresh start; Kirsten sees a new side of Julio; Armando and his mom bump heads; Kimberly and TJ's argument spirals.

Stuckathome August 1, 2023 Share August 1, 2023 (edited) I need to catch this on demand to see the TJ parts, but from what I did see..... Holly, Wayne is not wrong. He may have been an asshole for saying the word prostitute (to be fair she requested the heels in transparent not silver). But you cannot walk around in SA showing your ass like that and expect to be OK. And he knows that it won't just be guys catcalling you, they most likely will get physical and hurt her or worse, but I don't think he wants to outright say, "women get murdered here all the time for less and no one does fuck all about it" because he doesn't want to scare her off. I am a woman, a feminist and it irritates me when other women refuse to just use some common sense. In an ideal world, yeah, you can walk around in a bikini and no one would say shit or hurt you. But this isn't the ideal world. It's like with children, you teach them "don't get in the van with the guy who says he has a lost puppy and needs help looking." Ideally, no one would ever hurt a child, or lie to a child. Not reality. Also there is just something OFF about Holly's face and demeanor. She seems high AF all the time, but I assume that isn't it. So maybe some sort of developmental delay? I mean, she sort of acts like a woman in her early 20s with the whining about her clothes, not a mature 40 something. She made the comment about not being a jeans and tshirt kind of girl with such a sneer, I LOL'd. It's not like she is wearing couture or even just frilly feminine stuff. Jesus, how old is she----she looks late 40s but is she younger? And what kind of store was that? THe dresses looked like either formal wear or stuff that I saw the Golden Girls wearing in the mid 1980s. Surely SA has their equivalent of Macy's or Belk? Kirsten, just run. This dude is not ready to commit to you or anyone. He is a slacker who can't speak the language, hasn't found a job, didn't tell anyone that he planned this life with you until just now. He was playing a game and now that it got real, he is panicking and playing the well I will have my own place. Latina moms know how to lay on the guilt and drama. But at his age, he should be able to man up. Edited August 1, 2023 by Stuckathome 16 1 Link to comment

Actually she should be thankful this happened this way, because most likely he would have just shown up, moved in and then had excuse after excuse as to why he can't find a job.

I bet the big department stores don't allow filming, and certainly not endless filming of arguments, filmed over and over. Wayne is right, if Holly goes out dressed like the awful dresses she likes, she'll be lucky to only have nasty yelling at her, and it could be even worse. It's South Africa, not the safest place to dress like that. If they really want to marry, then Holly should try to respect the fact that Wayne's relatives might be much more conservative than she is, and dress like an adult, not like she's going to some nightclub. You dress to fit the area you're living in, don't expect to have a mode of behavior or dress that was OK where you came from to be acceptable when you move. I'm wondering if Holly's prefered style of dress is all that acceptable where she is from? Edited August 1, 2023 by CrazyInAlabama 9 Link to comment
Kid August 1, 2023 Share August 1, 2023 (edited) My opinion is not the popular one but I think Kimberly needs to go home NOW!! He is a big baby and it's them against her and it's not going to get any better. It will only get worse. Cut your losses!!! Besides the fact that I do not like him or his family, again, it is an American woman going into a culture that she has not bothered to research, and then being upset when things are not as she expected them to be in the culture in which she was raised. And his side of it is that his family does not want an American wife for him. So, if he can't break away from his family, he needs to find a wife that they feel is appropriate for him.

Kath94 August 1, 2023 Share August 1, 2023 She lived in Salt Lake City but didn't want to date anyone local. No explanation, but my guess is that most of the locals are LDS. She doesn't seem to be a practicing JW but wanted someone who had the same background, hence the JW dating site. She is definitely no longer practicing but they haven't given us any background on him yet. You'd think she'd figure out what was considered "normal public dress" during her last visit. But maybe Wayne wasn't too concerned because she was only visiting that time. I don't get the "chaperone" either. Holly visited alone once before, and you just KNOW that weren't concerned with chastity during that visit. 3 Link to comment

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a faked argument, and that's another reason they used that small dress shop for the argument and filming. 4 Link to comment

Sure Jan. The virgin Mary's jealous ass wants to fatten her dude up to make him less attractive. No sex until marriage is a great way to get him to the alter quick.

Mary's house is very nice, nice windows, nice kitchen, I assume that's courtesy of all the money Brandan has been sending her. He's a putz too. Letting someone control him the way she dies. Mary has some serious issues that are beyond Brandan's ability to fix. 1 Link to comment
