He must have one of those super bacterial strains

Joey needs to dump Magda. She will make him miserable. She has the maturity of a high school girl. He lies to her because who wants to deal with that shit all the time and then it just makes it worse when he comes clean.

I am dying to know what Jyosko's reasoning was to dump her AFTER the trip to Orlando. I had him pegged as ghosting her once she left Croatia, but the dude put in the effort to fly over. and it appeared that they had fun together, her demeanor in the updating portion was so happy I was ready for her to say that they got married while he was there and he went back to collect his baby. So it is either 1) he is married with said baby; 2) he found another mark that is more promising (that is, not so clingy) or 3) he didn't want to have to admit to her that he was a paid plant by TLC and let things go too far 

Matilda looked gorgeous at the wedding and I loved her dress as well as her "get this off my body" cries for help. He better cherish that woman and treat her right because lord knows he lucked out. 

Sunny and Veah, I agree with him, they should wait to tell the father. To his point, she is getting on a plane and leaving. Who knows how long the process will take to bring him over to the US and in the meantime, his community is all he has there, day in and day out. Why not wait until at least he has an interview for his visa? 

Thank you lord for no more Brian! 

Thank you lord for giving Faith some common sense in the end and ditching that freeloader. 

Magda gave it up and then finds out ooopsie Joey forgot to tell her something.....I think she is a bit crazy desperate to get TFO of Poland, but she seemed logical in the talking heads where she explained really she doesn't give two shits that he had sex with that woman in the past. It's the fact that she specifically asked if he had any exes that he stayed friends with and he said nah when he should have said actually yeah, there is this one......prediction she will forgive him and at the tell nothing they will be in the process for the visa, but fighting and making up repeat on the regular.

Yeah … I don’t believe her that it was only about the lying. She is just a crazy, jealous girlfriend. She insists he should not be friends with the woman at all and wants to rip her eyes out and eat them. lol That is not just about Joey lying. 

Poland looks lovely. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was checking out real estate there. lol

Loren never cared about Faith. He's a shallow, manipulative man who was just using their relationship to escape to the Philippines. His goal was to live there in whatever meager daily life he could scrabble together and not deal with the mess he'd made of his life in the states. He admitted it when he said he was going to have to go back home where he can't do anything. He was only sad that his scheme didn't work.

Magda is crazy with jealousy and won't ever change. Joe is a man child but he should stay away from that kind of crazy.

I'm debating whether Croatian Muscle Man got tired of Vanja's over the top instant love and clinginess (a lot even from such an attractive woman) or if he was just a hired actor and his contract ran out. I'm leaning towards the latter. A third option is some of both: he was hired to play the role but backed away when he saw how much she was genuinely falling for him.

Magda really needs a therapist!  Who wants to know every single thing about the history of a man!  Hubby and I married many years and I asked questions here and there and he zipped it up!  Lol I stopped asking and he surely never asked for history on me.

She's over the top.

Joey has the family at home saying slow down.

I do think Joey's timing in the telling was way off!  He knew what she wanted to know and he Knew what he wanted!  Lust won but now honesty hurts.

This is where their age difference plays a role. She is young - just 23 while he is in his mid-thirties. Of course he has more experience than she does. I don’t think she can handle that and he didn’t take that into consideration when he just wanted a hot young thing.

Faith has got to be one of the loveliest, sweetest, most dignified people that's ever been on this show. My heart broke for her when she said that she wondered whether anyone would really love a trans woman for herself, rather than for their own gains. She deserves much, much better than Loren, who is a scumbag of the highest order. Likewise, Ingrid dodged a bullet with douchebag Brian. Loren and Brian both made my flesh crawl.

Faith: “ I wonder if he was just using me to move to the Philippines"

You are the best Faith, and I’m sorry to report to you, if you have to do this, you are doing it all wrong, because no one does this with someone like Loren. No, the USA is not all you think from movies.  It is not easy to make it here now.  But if you were born here, as Loren was, you got a decent shot.  

Loren didn’t make it, because he didn’t try much.

As beautiful as your country is, moving from the USA to the Philippines isn’t a thing.   Retirement, maybe. 

I am gutted that Loren treated her like that, and just hope the worst for him.  What a tool.
