I noticed that Larry paused before answering the question about the last time he had sex.  I don't believe him.  For someone who claims to be a virgin, Jenny seems to know a lot about the romantic habits of American men.

He paused because he didn't want to admit, on TV, that he hadn't had sex in 14 years. It's embarrassing. Also, Jenny never said she's a virgin. She said her ex boyfriends are foreigners and she didn't have sex with any of them. She didn't say whether she ever had sex with anyone else who wasn't a "boyfriend," like local Filipino guys from the neighborhood. 

I think Larry wants to wait until after marriage because he's terrified of having sex, as he has no confidence, no self esteem, and a history of impregnating two women who then refused to marry him even though they were bearing his children. And Jenny is delighted to wait until after marriage because it means she doesn't have to have sex with him.

Is it just me, or did anyone else think Jenny looked pregnant???

I didn't think she looked pregnant, but I thought she shouldn't be wearing white shirts with horizontal stripes.
Filipinos eat a lot of American junk food. They have every American fast food chain in Manila; they have American chain fast food restaurants that went out of business in the USA thirty years ago, and new American chain restaurants we haven't even heard of yet.

Darcy had more to drink than one glass of wine. She lied about how much she'd had to drink and was wasted and belligerent. 

 

Seam mentioned polyamory in his personal ad - well here's his chance! But of course he was envisioning multiple women who would desire him instead of an alpha male taking a lead position.

It appeared that Darcey was so distraught about the conversations with the mother, that she went to the bar without even giving Jesse a heads up and then ignored a lot of his texts. He was setting up a nice evening for her and not getting any information on when she planned on showing up. In spite of all that, he answered the door in good spirits, tried to discuss the dresser he wanted to buy for her, and continue with the night, only to be further ignored and given some serious attitude for no apparent reason. She was being very annoying and immature.

That’s what I got out of it also. Jesse isn’t interested in marrying her, that’s obvious. Yet she keeps pressing. And pressing. And pressing.

Wise advice from Jesse's mom, Marian.  Translation: "Back off my son, bitch."

I could actually see  the tide turn all  over Darcey's face.  She didn't like what Jesse's mom was saying...not one bit.  She looked ever bit her 50+ years the next day.  (I'm over 50 myself, and although I'm not vain, think I look better than Darcey.)

Darcy and Jesse

  • I don’t what to believe here:  Was Darcy really THAT drunk?  Jess seemed to overreact to me.  Personally, Jesse seems terrible; what was that fight about?  He seems like a controlling tool and she seems so sad and desperate.  I almost feel bad for her.
  • Also.  His tacky ass idea of a romantic setting is some real red light district stuff.  The hell? 

Patrick and Myriam

  • Patrick (and Cortney too!) is in one of the most amazing cities in the world.  You don’t need the tool you came to visit.  Go solo and explore these wonderful places.
  • Clearly, Patrick is hoping to de-friendzone himself.  He thinks he is going to sweep her off her feet with his amazingness. 

Everything about Darcy reeks of desperation.  She clearly has some self esteem issues and trying to coerce "projector screen forehead" (another poster coined that very accurate and descriptive phrase; i love it) Jesse into a marriage he does not want to be in is foolish.  His mom tried her best to prepare Darcy for the inevitable but she is as dense as a forest when it comes to common sense.  I would have told him goodbye after his lunatic, 60's hippie reject step fadder and his equally rude friend lobbed insult after insult while my so called beau just sat there looking stupid.  Making me get on a bike after a long flight to see you?  I would have told him to pack that plan in his pooper there windmill boy; I'm go to bed.  She's 42 and can drink all the wines she wants.  After dealing with all the madness of Jesse and his rude crew, hell, I'd drink a lot of wines too.  Get a clue, Darcy and jet before his controlling ass does you bodily injury.

Patrick, oh Patrick.  Not only are you an attention whore, you're dumb as hell.  She likes you as a friend but she's just not into your happity ass as anything more; can't you tell?  Her brother is on point and told his sister correctly in so many words:  you're a bitch to put that man and your boyfriend through this.  My thought is that her boyfriend is as slow as Patrick if he can't tell his so-called girlfriend is spending time with another man for two weeks.  Does she work or go to school?  Does the boyfriend have internet access or cable TV?  By now someone has to have told him his floozy ass girlfriend is playing games behind his back.  Somewhere along the line one of the two is going to get short changed and after it is all said and done , Myriam is going to be assed out.  Patrick seems like a very nice, respectable young man who was raised right by his very wise mother;  he would be wise to listen to her and make the best of the situation.  He should let that deceitful witch Myriam show him some places to go, then drop her ass like a bad habit, the same as she did him after he wasted his hard earned money flying to Paris to see her.  That was totally inconsiderate and mean of her to do that.  Plenty of other fish in the sea and there are certainly many more women in Paris; he should find one and enjoy the rest of his stay.  Better yet, come down off his high horse, go back home and give American women a shot.  Someone will think as much of him as he thinks of  himself if only he would give her a chance.

While you're at it, Patrick, stop by Malaga and take Corny AKA Gumby back home with you.  She too is dense and even more annoying than Darcy in some ways.  Where, oh where do they find these people?

I am going to go out on a limb here with the following statement:  I think Darcey was fully aware of Jesse's controlling nature.  I think it turns her on, in a "he's so totally male" sort of way - it makes her feel oh-so-feminine, in response.  I said it before, and I'll say it again -- I think they're into the dominant/submissive role thing.  There are varying degrees of it.  You don't have to be a 50-shades of gray type couple.

Her affinity for wearing chokers has to contribute to that that notion.   I do agree she likes the submissive role and that is probably why she is so adamant about him marrying her.  That and given her age (42 my ass.  the next time she sees 42 it will have a 1 on front of it) leads me to believe she will do anything and i mean anything for a ring.

Larry Are understandable, because goobers.

So far, I still think Larry is okay, just a goof.  He's nice looking (I like noses that are a little big), nice eyes, nice smile.  Oh, he cashed in his 401K, did you catch that?/sarc.  But Jenny could NOT be less interested in him.  To flop on the bed after first meeting and say you wanted to sleep!!!  OK, I get no sex (I think after 2 bad relationships he learned his lesson)....but what about chatting, having something to eat, any animation whatsoever?  She is dead inside and just wants out.  In fact, now that I think of it, she even said so....that she would have a better life in America.  There you go, Larry - there's your sign.

Chris wants a young thing to have sex with and to cater to his needs when he winters in the DR.  He will never commit.  Abby is really showing her age/immaturity right here.  Dude doesn't want a wife.  Abby, you are a dime a dozen.

Abby is in way over her head. She is not experienced enough in the Ways of Courtesan to be in control of this situation. It's Chris she wants. But she wants out of Haiti and wants Chris to take her. He's happy with things the way they are, so she's trying to fake him out and say "I'll marry Sean then". But neither Chris nor Sean is playing the game the way she expects. She's too awkward and bumbling, she's showing her cards. Things aren't going to go the way she wants.

Chris is clearly the one Abbey wants and I bet she's super ticked off deep down that she couldn't snag him full time. He's got more money than Sean and a bit of swagger. She probably didn't have to teach him anything in bed either.

I'm really surprised that she's expecting Sean to just accept that she's got another dude on the side. If she was really gaming for that green card I'd have thought she'd just "forget" to mention Chris all together until she was in America.

Yes, I think she's trying to get Chris to put a ring on it. Honey. Chris has been around the block a few times, and your little girl tricks don't ruffle his savoir faire one bit. I think if she was really focused on getting out of Haiti as her number one priority she wouldn't care who the vehicle was.

EXACTLY. I do think Jesse is a bit controlling, but his direct behavior that night was his calm attempts to reason with a drunk. And his "small glass of wine" comment was his way of saying he didn't like a woman who got drunk. After all, he is a fitness enthusiast.

I can't stand Patrick. This kind of short and self-conscious guy who does whatever it takes to get noticed.

Oh God, he's an insufferable show off. From the bizarre dancing (to an accordion no less!), to that ridiculous back flip, he just seems desperate. How tall is he anyway? 5'2"? (There is nothing wrong with short men, just short men who feel like they have to compensate for it!)

Like, what happens over there? He tells her about his past, and then decides to.... run for it? Karine chases him, and then is seen crying in the grass with her gold belted shorts. Something about a machete and a gun shot? 

Oh Darcy, I could see your wheels turning as you sat (makeup-less!) in that hotel lobby. I know you are desperate to get married for some reason, and you probably believe that you are in love with Jesse, but really, do you want to be told what to do by a 24 year old for the rest of your life?

I think you're right. And, she's been having sex with Chris. She didn't get that rash from him by borrowing his toothbrush.

But Chris is polished and worldly. I would say charming except he's having sex with girls who are barely of age. So, I'm just going to say he's a big sleaze. But, he seems to have enough money not to care. And, he's very comfortable in his own skin -- his own slimy skin.

He ought to be worried about what else she might have caught from Chris. Almost 2% of people in Haiti have AIDS, and that rate is significantly higher among anyone who may have been involved in the sex trade.

Filipino Cupid Jenny looks worn out.  She's been through this many times  - but at least this one has a camera crew following him about. So that Green Card seems a bit more promising... she could try a bit harder to look interested, tho.  

Darcy is more attractive without the heavy eyelashes and make up.  Those ratty black extensions and  choker make her look older too.  Jesse is just weird looking.

I got the impression Chris - who says he spends 6 months of the year in the DR - is not the ticket to the US that Abby is looking for.  But she likes Chris the best from what we saw on screen.

The Paris couple are just in it for the exposure and probably money.  And this particular production crew get the best deal of them all ... filming in beautiful Paris as moth-eaten guy and pregnant gal see the sights.

Filipino Cupid Jenny is definitely phoning it in because she is so f*cken depressed.  She's got his name on a wall with a bunch of post-its to keep his story straight and separate from the other guys' post-its, along with any photos they've sent.  She's like the tired fisherman who finally gets something on her hook at the end of the day. I just hope she has enough energy to reel him in.  Of course he's practically jumping out of the water onto the land.. where he will suffocate. Okay I really don't know where I'm going with this analogy anymore.

The virgin thing works for her because she doesn't have to put out. 

She listens to what he wants and then parrots it back, simple.

Just the way her face lit up when she saw Chris. She doesn't look at Sean that way. Not even close.

Question is will Sean watch the show and learn or will he sink deeper into a Danielle-like denial? Danial.

I'm agreeing with this theory more and more. Sean was the tool who was supposed to get Chris to marry her.  Not going to work of course.  Chris has another 19-year-old waiting for him back home in the DR.

I'm guessing Chris is going to lay on the attentiveness and charm extra thick to persuade Abby not to leave him. Eew.

Abby's probably still having sex with Chris and will continue to do so until the night before she leaves to begin the 90 days with Sean.

Looking forward to geezer wars next week! (Okay they are not geezers, but it's fun to say Geezer Wars.)

Chris is holding quite a few cards in this situation because he's not really invested although he will be quite sorry to lose what he regards as a hot piece of a$$.

What Sean has to offer her is a green card.

All Abby has to do is to agree not to see Chris. After she gets her green card, she will continue to hook up with Chris in the states.

I'm sure she's still texting Chris all the time. And they share the real connection because Sean is oblivious.

Totally creepy!!  No emotion in those words and he looks so pleased when she she says she had not had sex with her previous boyfriends...(I call BS on that fact), btw, why would he ask that, you know he really does not want to hear the real answer and he had to know she would tell him what he wanted to hear.  

I loved Abby telling Chris "no lips." when she greeted him at the airport.  Sean is an idiot if he does not see what is in front of him.  Abby might be better off with Chris if he can afford to live in the DR for the winter and can fly to see Abby whenever the mood strikes.

Darcy's talk with Jesse's mother (AKA Betsy Johnson) seemed legit and Darcy should heed what she said.  Who didn't love the odd balloon action on the bed when Jesse was trying to make sexy time for Darcy?  Nothing like too much wine and a control freak to escalate any situation...who's bags were Jesse holding when he met up with Darcy in the hotel, hers?

That's what I am thinking too.  She probably liked playing the game of an online relationship, but didn't think Patrick would actually make good on his promise to fly to France.  Once he sprung the news he was coming (along with a camera crew) she decided to come up with the bf story.  She probably figured he would be really pissed and just do his own thing. She probably didn't figure he would say Yes to having her show him around "as friends".

I hate to say it but is Paul slightly mentally challenged? I have a family member who is and he mostly shows it by being easy to take advantage of, more emotionally than anything else.  Otherwise, he doesn't show it much. Jenny is definitely a player and maybe even a girl of the evening taking any opportunity that comes her way.  She calls everyone "Love" so she doesn't have to remember names. I do not think she cares about him AT ALL.

OMG, it is so apparent that Abbey is still seeing Chris and he is most likely supporting her financially.  He is smart enough to know there is no future and probably told her to go ahead and pursue the relationship with Sean and that he would back up her story about them now only being friends.  She was pretty adamant in her "talking" segment that she is not willing to give up her "friendship" with Chris....it is either because of his support, her feelings for him, or both.
