These women are finally going to see there is a difference between a weekly phone call complete with love bombing and actually living with a felon. The woman from Germany who will have to live in a basement is probably regretting her choices already. I have no idea what the Australian woman sees in that dumpy looking hot head.  He won’t adjust well to everyday life.

Michael has anger issues? Hot head? 

 

Red flag. Red flag.

He was already verbally abusing her on the phone. “If you hang up don’t bother coming.” Girl should have hung up that phone and went on the first flight back home. She cries for this idiot but leaves her kid behind in Australia? Did she even have custody? Won’t her child need her?  What an idiot. 
i don’t even know where to start with the Temu Kardasian family.

Svea isn’t going to be living there. She’s going home and the plan is for Joseph to join her in Germany on a spousal visa (or a fiancé). He’s just going to be staying with his cousin until that happens. 
 

But truthfully- I think Joseph’s cousin could’ve done a better job. It looks like a storage unit for your off season clothes and holiday items, not a place for anyone to live in. Is it even insulated??!!

I am worried for Erin. No shame in cutting your losses and going home. Don’t live in your mistakes! Her Mom would likely pay for her ticket back if she didn’t have any money. But she WANTS this guy for some reason.

I agree.  He really should have fixed it up a little.  I’d rather just sleep on my cousins couch than have to live in that damp basement.

Also, I don’t think Joseph moving to Germany is going to work out.  He needs to adjust to normal life again, it will be hard enough in his regular environment which is foreign enough to him now.  He was amazed by all the choices in a convenience store for goodness sakes.  Moving to a different country where he doesn’t even speak the language will be way too much in my opinion.

I’ve worked with prisoners in work release before, teaching yoga.  They need a lot of support, a lot of healing.  Getting into a relationship is not healthy for them. it’s way too much pressure.  They need familial support and healthy friendships to stand a chance on the outside, not a romantic relationship.  I can see why they are desperately clinging to these women, but the women aren’t doing them any favors to speak nothing of how they themselves are setting themselves up for failure.

Michael is ok looking from the neck up.  He has anger issues.  They all need a lot of therapy and real world exposure.  Most of the men don’t seem to know what these women see in them either, heh.

I can see why Erin thinks Michael is handsome. Of course attractiveness is subjective, but I see it. However being handsome doesn’t negate all the other complications in this relationship. Just the way he spoke to her on the phone, telling her not to come if she hung up (in episode one)- was a HUGE red flag. He’s still in prison and speaking to you this way? He has no impulse control.

I agree. The idea of being with Svea seems like a fairytale to Joseph, which I get. She is beautiful and sweet, educated, seems to have her life together (shallow bus I think Joseph is nice looking as well)- but he doesn’t need a fairytale right now, he needs stability and to get his life in order.
