Season 1 Discussion

[Baltimore Betty]

Cortney is supposed to be a world traveler, stands in front of cartoon map and declares she cannot read a map, I'm seeing a lot of holes in her story.  I am guessing that Antonio saw Cortney at the airport and bailed.  I noticed she has 3 bags to carry, wouldn't it be easier to keep track of one normal size suitcase on wheels rather than drape bags all over your arms and back?

Abby is cursed with excema and acute case of bad judgement, voodoo is not going to help.

[Bubbacat]

I think I love Jesse's friend. No, not in a Darcy way.

[Ellie Godfrey]

Larry is creepy. And desperate, clingy, and possessive. He's a fool.

[KayBreezy]

So...Jesse's friend...Word. Jesse is 24 with plenty of sense. Darcy is older than 42...I don't care what she says...and thirsty. She needs to find a man her age and chill. And Cortney...Girl...Bless your britches. Go on back home. Larry, Larry, Larry...*sigh*. As far as Abbey'nem go, both those old men are just gross. She's 20! Y'all got underwear older than she is...Just nasty!

Abby is 20, not 19...

[Ellie Godfrey]

OMG!!! Nicole & Azan are back!!

[Bubbacat]

Darcy, sweetie, if your daughters ALWAYS come first, why did you leave them to fly halfway around the world to meet a boytoy? Uh huh . . .

Darcey can quit with the chokers whenever. 

[Mercolleen]

Is Darcy like the woman from the ghost story who always wears a ribbon around her throat and then removes it and her head falls off?

Also, Godfrey, please make sure to put in the note that I was gathering lesson plan ideas about digital citizenship and online safety tonight. Thank you!

Without the chokers to hold up her saggy neck, her turkey wattle might 1) reveal her age and 2) scare off the kid.

  Larry is breaking my heart. I just can't snark on him....

   Antonio having that convo with his friend--- in English--just screamed "scripted". 

   Oh, Darcy..... Sigh.

Right??? I almost yelled at my TV...

Color me shocked that Antonio exists. But if he thinks Cortney is good conversation, then there's not much going on with him either...

Larry liquidated his 401k. No words...

Darcey annoys me - no reason Jesse can't visit her and her girls in the states. we have plenty of European tourists.

[rideashire]

Am I the only one who thought Cortney was trying to drink out of a water feature that was NOT intended for drinking?

My face when I saw that scene was equal parts wtf and 'this poor girl...'

Right there with you.

[Adeejay]

Darcey, sweetie, when a man tells you that you really have to talk before creating a potential family and that you should wait and see how you partake in the journey before making plans, perhaps now isn't the right time to talk about getting engaged.     

[Turquoise]

Antonio: "I like a smart girl."
Keep looking, bud...

[Frozendiva]

Cortney is a traveler? If I am going to some country to meet a dude I met online, I would have my own hotel room and meet him in a public place. Doubt she and Antonio will work out. They aren't on the same page or even book. Have a fling in Spain and go back and have good memories of it.

Larry, listen to your family. She could very well be the girl of your dreams or a scam artist to whom you are one of many.

Darcey, it is not easy to blend a family. Jesse's friend speaks the truth. Sure you can get engaged. Seems more about your need than doing what is right for you and your girls.

The voodoo lady? The rash could be a manifestation of Abby's having many men to choose from, an allergy, or eczema or dermatitis.

[Christi]

what the fuck is the rash??? omg? 

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

OMG Antonio is actually real! We are all such cynical assholes hahahahahaha cmon raise your hand if you thought he would materialize? Yeah None of us. I love us.

Courtney should've gone straight to a five star hotel, showered, charged her phone, holed up with room service in a fluffy robe and then texted him to get his shit together . 

Mambo Gladys ...my top new screenname of the week possibility.... 

Sean looks anorexic all I see is his giant head. When someone's head is that giant their body is usually emaciated . He looks thinner than Abby! 

I think Abby and Chris shouldn't have rolled around in the DR in the poison ivy!

My god. First time seeing her story. She's not only stupid she has absolutely no personality. What a dud. 

[Laurie4H]

Call me cynical but I feel like some of these people are hired actors.  Antonio, Jesse maybe.

And I still find it hard to believe Darcy is 42. I'm 42 and I have friends 48 that look younger than her.  Although it could just be the Botox that makes her look older.   Jesse looks more like early or mid 30's than 24 as as.  

I find it hard to believe that Jessie is into Darcy or that Antonio would be into Courtney at all.

 I'm shocked that Antonio is real but I'm even more shocked at how incredibly rude he's being to somebody but just got off of an international flight.  He hasn't even given her a chance to put the bags down.  Where is the rolling piece of luggage I thought I remember her having at the airport?  If I only imagined it then, my God, she has the most amazing packing skills in the entire world. To have put things for an international trip into two medium-size backpacks? Magic. 

 

 I'm pretty sure Antonio was disappointed with her looks. If he'd liked her in-person looks, he wouldn't have been so rude to her. 

 

ETA:  i'm trying to imagine all of the many illnesses and or STDs that Chris could've given Abby. Ring worm? HSV? Are they sharing a case of poison ivy?? Where on his body is Chris' rash?? WHEN WILL SEAN'S ITCHING START??

Magic Eight Ball says:  Jesse is gonna marry one of the daughters

[Frozendiva]

At least Antonio could have taken her to her hotel or whatever, let her shower and change and maybe have a couple hours' nap.

i do not travel light. Maybe for a Contiki type camping trip, but usually a medium suitcase and sometimes carry on.

i expect that Antonio will vanish.

[Arwen Evenstar]

Old Liverlips better be glad that eczema is all there was to worry about.  I'd shit a brick if someone took me to a voodoo doctor.  Abby best mind the advice of the priestess, because it is not a game.

Antonio seems like he could be an ass if Cortney won't fall in line with what he wants.

Darcey, cool your jets.  Just enjoy yourself for now.  Thirsty much?

Those who do it for religious/cultural purposes know that typically their families will arrange a marriage for them so they won't need to fret about not getting any, and usually it's a choice with those who are religious.

Shy/unattractive/socially awkward might be in for a longer wait.

[hisbunkie]

I'm finding Jesse to be a mature and thoughtful young man unlike the rest of the men in this show. He is 24 years old and seems to be thinking about how his relationship with Darcy will impact her children and their future.  He is not cashing his 401k anytime soon or leaving his life behind and running to the US. 

And I hate to comment on another woman's looks but Darcy does look old enough (and frumpy) to be his mom.  She can't seem to dress appropriately...her bag is too big, her hair too long, her pants too tight.  I'm actually feeling a little sorry for her. 

[Desert Rat]

Abby might have scabies, and Sean might get them too.  Serves him right.  Voodoo is not gonna help.

I agree.  Your 401k really?   

But you can't "cash it in" unless you no longer work there.  Maybe he took a loan against it?  But he said he cashed it.

I am 46 and Darcy definitely looks my age with intervention.  I cringed during her scenes.  Us women our age should have more self confidence than others  

And it's not Botox.  The fillers make her look older and puffy.  Botox just paralyzes facial muscles.   Filler causes the muppet look.

Antonio kept staring at Courtney's gum line. When you rewatch the episode - I know that you will so don't bother lying about it - watch his eyes. He can't make sense of it.

I guess I am missing a few details on those two! She met him on Facebook? Doe she know if his photo is really him? Did they use FaceTime or Skype or Google Hangouts to chat - with *video*/webcam so it's not some catfish situation?

She books a ticket to Spain and doesn't have a place to stay? How did she get past customs? They normally ask you where you are staying on the visitor card you have and expect a hotel or family member's home addy. Not some dude you met online.  I'd have my own place and meet him somewhere public and take it from there. Always be vigilant and have a Plan B. And you let your parents or someone know where you are - what hotel, what phone number, etc.  Whether you text them, Twitter/Facebook whatever.

I was multi tasking while watching tonight, so I may be wrong. But when he was staring at her, I thought he remarked on her skin being so clear. When he said that, my feeling was that he was staring at her gums and needed to come up with an excuse for doing so. There are surgeries for gummy smiles. I'm not all for cosmetic surgery, but this is a case where it's really needed. 

[Christi]

Jesse is the most together one on the show for sure...but the bar on the ground lol

I actually like Jesse ok..he doesnt completly skeeve me out...

but then again, Im watching the finale of the Spouse House, and believe this is the best thing put on film...omg...I need this back tomorrow...the desperation makes these 90 dayers look like Monks

No Darcy, they are not his "step kids, in a sense."  You need some sense. Go home.

Oh Larry, your cousin and his Filipina wife know you're about to be taken. Listen to them!

[spankydoll]

Sean's eyes when he was at the voodoo Queen's place looked like a cartoon character at a tennis match. 

[Desert Rat]

Darcy, dear, it's not hard to read Jesse.  He is not into you and it's obvious  from his facial expressions, body language and what he says to you directly.  Wake up!

[Gigglepuff]

Antonio's friend was right about Courtney, but she's more than "a bit stupid" though. 

[spankydoll]

Darcy's workout clothes are meant for posing at the gym not working out. I was waiting for that drawstring to get caught in the step machine like her shoe on the "elevator" . she seems very sweet I wish that she could embrace her age 

[Gigglepuff]

Jesse was actually being quite sweet when FaceTiming with Darcy's daughter. It's a shame that he has more sense about the work, time, and commitment it takes to be a stepparent and create a family than Darcy does. 

[LittleLambOhWhere]

Sean and Abby: The fact that Sean still engaged with Abby in intimacy after seeing or realizing she had a rash is crazy. However, if she hid it from him then I'm finding her even less likeable than before. She's playing the field and it will be much worse for her if she doesn't pick a man and stick with it (the one thing me and then voo doo lady agree on).

Antonio and Courtney: Nope. It ain't gonna work. Fly home, girl. Quickly and swiftly. p.s. the way Antonio just swooped in and kissed all over her came off as very seedy and gross and pretty much sums up what he's after...

Larry: God bless this lonely man child. 'Nuff said.

Zack Attack: Still not feeling him after his "American girls" comment. He's just not likeable to me. Anyhow, he's just infatuated. He's (likely) a Christian trying to make things work with a Muslim Parisian? And he already has a daughter with an ex who seems like she might low key still want him back? AND this lady has a secret or something she has yet to reveal? Yeah, I wish them luck...

Darcy and Jesse: Darcy is actually semi likeable when she quits with the "young and hip, pouty lip, breathy" facade. Jesse is also pretty level-headed, insightful and mature for someone who says they are only 24. He does look about 32/33... Also, what up with both of their hairstyles?

I recently did it in one. With a musical instrument, concert clothing, regular clothes and toiletries...as I had.a broken leg and was on crutches. It can be done.

[islandgal140]

Antonio is real?!!?!? I owe my mother a coke. 

When Cortney said she was gonna wait for him for another 30 minutes, I thought the blue screen said "24 hours later" so I thought they were going to show Cortney still on the bench the next day, but nope it said "24 hour earlier" LOL!

Um, why did Antonio have to be asked to carry one of the 3 pieces of luggage she was carrying.  Plus, he can't be bothered to take some time off to meet her and dragging her to an event after she has been traveling for hours and not giving her time to rest, shower or change before dragging her to watch him judge a titty contest? He seems fuckboi-ish to me. Plus, I know standards for male modeling are different from women but he doesn't strike me model material but whatever. 

I definitely saw Cortney's resemblance to Vicki G this episode. 

Sorry I had to LOL! when Abby came out from the back of the voodoo shop wet and covered in herbs and spices. What the what?!?! For real though, I would be very concerned if I was Sean about any kind of 'rash' Abby may or may not have gotten from Chris. He may and should take a page out of Pyro Paul's book and request a full panel of tests.

I actually think Darcey seems sweet despite her terrible styling and self absorption. She has handled herself relatively well given all the intrusive questioning but good gawd woman! The desperation for a ring despite all the verbal and non-verbal cues from Jesse that they need to take this slow is so unbecoming and unattractive. 

Larry is the lonely, pathetic sad sack that I thought Paul was gonna be. I really genuinely feel sorry for him on the one hand and wonder how he managed to live this long due to his gullibility on the other. Cashed in his 401k after chatting with some child for 2 weeks?! Oh honey no!

Larry's girl has never had tea? Come now. Also, the not picking up but texting? Not a good look.
