Jenny has a huge problem.   Usually girls in that trade, use sex to trap their marks and get money and gifts from them (as Abby is doing with both Chris and Sean).  Larry hasn't had sex and doesn't seem to be interested in sex (big red flag).   This presents an issue for Jenny since she's not very interesting or charming and she's not very smart either.   In the absence of these basic attributes, how does a girl trap a guy in a couple of weeks?   

 

The thing is Jenny doesn't even need sex to hook Larry.  He is already hooked and practically ready to get married now. It would take a LOT for him to think anything she did is wrong or bad or suspicious.  Actually having the camera crew around them is good for at least some accountability.  She's going to take him for everything he has (which isn't much) and not feel a twinge of remorse.

I think that he is broke. He is a hot mess. 

Of course he's broke. He cashed in his 401K to travel all the way to the Phillipines to meet this dead eyed dead fish and get a luxury hotel room. Poor, poor Larry.  

[Mimiray802]

(In Tyra Banks voice) Dammit Larry I was rooting for you. She wants the same things you want? Come on you can't be that gullible. She couldn't even attempt to make those yes loves sound believable. Taking a loan from his 401k for a non emergency trip is his just dumb.  Again there are plenty of women here in the states willing to take your money and use you  and it would have been more economical.  

Abby is clearly smitten with Chris because her body language completely changed with him. 

I didn't really understand the Jeesie and Darcy fight. Yeah she was drunk after Jessie's mother dropped some knowledge on her but heck it happens. I guess they left a lot out of the show. Jessie is too controlling. There is now way in hell a man young enough to be my son would be telling me to come home now and when I say now I mean now.  They just need to go their separate ways because he really does like things his way. I think they are both a piece of work at this point and need to shrug this off as an experience and move on.

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.

Maybe. However I am starting to believe that their entire relationship is just a storyline and that Larry is playing a sort of role, a naive, inexperienced guy, either that or amping up his personality times 100. I think that the show would have preferred to have him say he was an inexperienced virgin, but the fact that he has 2 kids discredits that. First of all, he claims in the first episode that he and Jenny had been talking for 2 weeks, but doesnt it take months to get casted into this show ? I think he wants to be famous for whatever reason, went on FilipinaCupid, and asked a random girl to participate in this show with him. 

Asking her to wait for marriage to have sex is just such a weird angle. If he had wanted to wait to have sex, he wouldnt have splurged on a fancy hotel with 1 bed. I dont believe that his last sexual encounter was 14 years ago. I dont believe that Jenny is a virgin.

Jenny gives me a vibe like she meets up with different American men on the regular, as soon as one gets on a plane, she is there waiting to greet another one.  She made me think meeting Larry was old hat.  Her flat affectation of asking him if he was nervous, telling him nobody was going to eat him, lol, not exactly the language of love for someone she calls "my love."

"Nobody's gonna eating you" Thats some pretty aggressive language right there from a woman

[seacliffsal]

I couldn't believe the outfit Darcy put on to meet with Jesse's mother.  The dressing like a teenager (and by the way, I teach high school and don't know any teen girls who would wear the clothes that Darcy wears thinking they make her look young...) does not reduce her age even though she continually whisper speaks in order to seem younger.  And I had to do a double-take when Darcy mentioned Jesse impacting her life and the lives of her daughters.  Ugh, no.  That is Danielle all over again when she rants about how Mo has hurt her girls as well as herself.  No, the girls knew better than getting too connected with Mo, and Darcy's daughter with whom they spoke in last week's episode does not seem invested in Jesse becoming her 'step-father.'  Darcy is desperately trying to sell this insta-family, but nobody is buying it.  

Patrick is trying too hard for attention-both from Myriam and from the cameras.  His actions in Paris (the "dancing" and back-flips off of structures) is one reason that the French do not necessarily care for American tourists (disclaimer: I have always had wonderful experiences when traveling in Paris as I try to be polite and respectful of the French).  He is as desperate for attention as Darcy is for an engagement.

I think you left a word out right after "having" . . . might you have meant to include "sex"?  LOL.

You are correct. Guess my brain could not bring itself to put "Paul" and "sex" in the same sentence. Thank you for catching that

[gingerella]

Let me start this post by saying how utterly embarrassed I am to admit that I watch this shit show. That said, the following:

1. I'm surprised at all the animosity towards Miryam. The truth is, the playuh got played. Patrick is a douche bag. A narcissistic rastatrolian asshat who thinks he's all that. His 'American spontaneity' is more like Pinocchio on crack. He said something last epi about how his 'girlfriend got pregnant' - blah blah blah fishcakes - and then compared her to Miryam who he stupidly believes is chaste and pure and of good moral stock, why? Because she's Muslim. When he said that shit, I wanted to throw a brick through my TV, then reach in and punch his ass in the eye. What a little deluded turd troll he is. He deserves to get hosed. All that money he just wasted he could have put into a college fund for his beloved daughter but no. His tiny peepee decided he needed to fly to Paris to meet some chick who likes to say 'wassup, Wassup, WASSUP' so hey, she must be wifey materials right? He deserves everything he's getting now, IMO.

2. I am equally surprised at all the shit towards Jesse. Sure, he's douchey, that's obvious when he says exactly where the panties should be folded and kept. He's crazy. BUT...DUHrcie is a kabilion times more insane than he is. He's controlling weirdo insane but she is reality TV insane. From the stringy, fake ass hooker extensions to the fake ass hooker talons to the fake ass hooker eyelashes to the fake ass hooker clothing, this chick is mental. She has some pathetic and sad gaping hole in her soul that she thinks will be filled if only she had a hot young guy on her arm. If she's 42 I'll eat my hat too. And every time she drops one of SUBTLE HINT HINTS and gets rebuffed, that turtle thing she does where she looks down and draws her head back on her neck like a turtle retreating into its shell, and makes that weird fucking face...Does this bitch not realize that EVERYONE can see her insanity on TV? I would never buy what she's selling...unless I was a methhead crack ho looking for some free leisure wear.

3. Larry is a mentally challenged adult. He seriously appears to not be in charge of his faculties. It's sad to watch. And Jennie is actually the perfect match for him. She'll "yes love" him until she gets her green card and then 'bye love' his ass. And if he cannot see that and he isn't mentally challenged, then he too deserves whatever he gets.

4. Karine, Karine, Karine...no ticket out of the Amazon is worth having to bump uglies with a mental moron skuzz bucket who is a criminal, a liar, and who is so fucking embarrassing to be near, let alone with. Honey, let your father find you a nice policeman in Rio to marry. You can have a modern city life and still be with someone who isn't so gross and moronic. It would be a relief all around if that machete whacked Paul and we wont have to see him again but sadly, I think we'd know in the media by now if that happened.

I think we've all started looking a little too hard for contrived storylines. And, we're right not to trust reality show producers. They're shady as f*ck.

However, in the case of some of these international courtships, the weirdos really do come out to play. Larry didn't fake liquidating his retirement fund, and his dead-eyed girlfriend isn't faking anything either. She's much too tired. He was so nervous and sweaty and jumpy and manic when he first met her. That wasn't fake, either.

Sadly, Jenny really isn't very bright. If she were, she would be playing to the audience more, realizing that she could get some much better offers than Larry once she was on television. But again, she's not bright. Maybe she'll be content to just get the hell out of the country and only having to have sex with one guy even if he isn't very good at it. She can teach him. And she can offer some lame excuse like her friend told her about it, and he'll believe her.

I think the producers have realized that they get a much better show if they just sit back and let the weirdness happen. 

Patrick really is desperate to please Miryam. And, I do think he's a nice guy who is taking care of his kid.

And, if Darcey is faking that desperation, she's a regular Meryl Streep! But why would she sabotage her own store by faking crazy? Answer: She really is crazy. But, just like wearing clothes that are two sizes smaller don't make a heavy woman look thinner, having a young guy on her arm isn't going to make her look younger.

I just started to write something that disappeared. dang. Anyway, I agree with you. It's sad but she seems very damaged and even more depressed than he is. Oftentimes girls are forced into the sex trade at a very young age, and if that's the case with her, Larry cannot begin to fathom the depth of her contempt for him, for all men like him, for any man who wants to hook up with a woman who is much younger and physically out of his league. The things that happen to those girls are abhorrent and tragic, and, if her thousand yard stare is any indication, Larry and his bank account are going to wish they'd never met her at some point. She tells him she's a virgin, but Larry's cousin's wife reads things quite to the contrary in her native language.

On their way to the hotel, Larry dismisses negative messages from his family saying, "They don't know you." Like you do, pal? You've been in her company for less than an hour!

And, when he got onto the bed and wrapped his sweaty self around her and spooned, there was something very eerie to me in the manner in which she just acquiesced. She didn't blush, she didn't look around at the cameras, she just stared vacantly. Women from the Philippines tend to be very modest (think of Daya), so just the idea of lying on a bed with a strange man in front of cameras would at least make a girl look around and blush, react, something? I don't know. There was something about her submission that was disturbing to me. Did anyone else get that? Perhaps I'm reading too much into it?

[Tuneful]

All right, boys and girls, everyone over their 90-day Hangover yet? Good! Me neither.

Pebbles, I mean, Patrick: His hips swivel when he walks, and I don't know whether it's more of a Marilyn Monroe effect or Mikhail Baryshnikov. If we were walking together as dates, he'd get more catcalls, which ain't good, 'cause I'm female. Also, the Outback Bloomin' Onion on his head would have to go. Or maybe he's Pebbles Flintstone come back. His Mom is sensible, like Wilma. Yabbadabbadoo!

Sean/Abby: My gaydar goes off with him, maybe it's the bitchy way he often talks. Stick a fork in this, it's done. I'm pegging Chris as a retired cop or firefighter from some b*mf**k northern place with liberal retirement benefits and medical maryjane. He's smooth, slick, and fun, not looking to be tied down, pays Abby well, and she has a good time. But girlfriend is like a small child, and a Millennial in that God forbid you should EVER end things with a "friend" (wink wink), like when you get, you know, a husband? And why is she relying on old white dudes to get out of there? What about colleges that for example have scholarships for international students? She's using Seanie to make Chris jealous and it ain't gonna fly. 

Jesse/Darcey: Who wouldn't want to stay 100% stone-cold sober when spending at least 18 hours a day in a tiny studio with Adolf Titler--named after his idea of a romantic seduction scene, a bed full of LED blinking t**s? His Mom was kind and tactful, and dresses and looks arty yet age-appropriate. Morticia Addams, take note. You look nice without the warpaint, fillers, etc., and with some Forever 41 outfits, you could do better out there in a 25-mile radius from home.  So here's my theory: Jesse is an ACOA (you can look it up). His stepfather was socking away the booze at that first dinner and that's why he was extra-ugly to Darcey, and probably that way all the time to Jesse. So J. freaks out if GF has a little nip. My money is on that she wasn't drunk that night--rather, exhausted, homesick, and got the Cold Dead Haddock of Reality tossed in her face, although nicely, by her BF's mom. What is the attraction with a son-figure, anyway? Please get some therapy, D, I think it would help you. 

Larry/Jenny--Speaking of Cold and Dead, I saw those eyes on too many of them tonight. The Larry situation just makes me really sad. It makes me wish he is just acting. Strangely, it also makes me sad about the dating situation in this country for divorced men over a certain age, when it's women who usually get the bad rap. The men just do not know what to do, and most fall apart if alone. I could come away from this show thinking that being employed, responsible, decent health, sane, and an American who's maybe a 7 in looks, I'd be a real catch for some dude 58-68. Yeah, laugh, clowns, laugh--it's bad out there, certainly around the two major cities where I've lived the longest, the Boston and DC areas. 

This show needs to be on EVERY NIGHT. But the one thing they do wrong is hit us over the head dozens of times with supposedly the key plot scenes. If I have to listen to that robotic "Accidentally, love" clip again about being on FilipinoCupid, that's IT! It's OVAH!

 But we wouldn't have this show if these men (and women -- talking about you, Danielle) weren't convinced that they deserve a 10. Gosh darn it, just because they have criminal records, dead end jobs, poor hygiene, social awkwardness, and creepy personalities doesn't mean they have to settle for someone average or flawed. Settle for a 7??? Pfffff!!! If they have to go across the world to find the 10 they think they deserve, they will.

I saw this differently than most, I guess. 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.

Furthermore, if I am completely sober and have a night planned with my boyfriend, and he shows up to our date already wasted and belligerent, I'm probably going to be slightly pissed. I didn't see that he was being too controlling in this instance. I don't blame him for telling her drunk ass to "come back home now" after she left the apartment later that night, drunk and crawling through bushes? She ran off in the middle of the night and ignored all phone calls or texts. He was probably worried. I think I would have had the same reaction to all of this if I had to put up with it. Jesse seems more mature than Darcey.

Also, he probably paid full price for the rooms whereas most people who stay places like that on a regular basis get rooms at some kind of discounted rate. Of course that's trivial compared to his other problem.

The airport shops are way too expensive. You won't buy your clothes there when you can get them for 5dollars outside.

That's  precisely why Filipino Cupid offered him to go out and shop some clothes. And Larry was like " No I want to stay in bed".

Yes yes and yes. Jesse knew practically the minute she walked through the door that she had had a few. "You seem a little off." Having a father who drank too much I could always tell when he had had a few, I can usually tell with everyone. Its something you learn to look for. But I do think Darcy had several, she seemed to be feeling no pain. And that squeaky voice, I don't think I've heard her speak like that before, another dead giveaway. It was annoying.

What was up with all the fire in the apartment? The candle lamp thing on the table, the video of the fireplace on the wall. Is Jesse a Sagittarius? The ones I've known have all liked fire, fireplaces, wood stoves, fire pits.

Yes!  What happens?  Does Paul flip out after Karine's reaction to whatever he shares with her.  He runs into the jungle and then gets mugged?  Who gets shot?!

Yeah, and TLC better not cut the first hour off just as that 'mugging with a machete' is just happening,

then go right into the hour of the crap nobody wants to watch!

TLC must know that nobody wants to watch or they wouldn't bury that boring show in the guide.

However I am starting to believe that their entire relationship is just a storyline and that Larry is playing a sort of role, a naive, inexperienced guy, either that or amping up his personality times 100.

I wish this was true. Unfortunately, he is playing the naive giddy lovestruck teenager to well to be role play.

We've not talked about Jesse in a short satin patterned robe with only a black pair of calvin klein undies on underneath (shown several times when he was sitting down and they were getting in an argument).  Guess he wasn't interested on cinching up that robe on national TV!

Not sure why Darcey didn't just say "hey babe...rough afternoon with your mom, I've had WAAAAY too much wine....." right when he was opening the door.  Why was she hiding the fact that she was drunk?  Why doesn't she have a key?   When Undies answered the door in his woman robe, why did he seem overly happy to see her like she was a long lost friend he hadn't seen in months?   That's his girlfriend.  He should have said "where have you been?  I've been waiting here in my undies and femme-robe waiting for sexy time amongst the flames and these weird balls I put on the bed that look like light up boobs."
