Season 1 Discussion

This whole thing with Jesse makes no sense. When she arrives at his apartment for the first time and he'd  pulled out all the stops, he had TWO bottles of sparkling wine in the chiller. TWO for just two people. That is a lot of wine to expect two people to drink if you're afraid of alcoholics.

I think that it was part of his romance decor along with the balloons and flowers.

Darcy looks amazing, though I wish she'd tone it down just a little. And girl, you don't need that jackass. Do you and focus on your children and the right man for you will come along. 

Ugh, I hate it when people say this, because IMO, it's not true.  A lot depends on where you live and what you look like.  But I agree that Darcy should just take care of herself and her daughters.  She should have just banged Jesse in Amsterdam and been done with it.

Myriam did nothing wrong here, except maybe being too considerate of aly for allowing that happity ass Patrick into her country in the first place.   Maybe her flaw is that she was too polite to tell an internet friend to cut the shit before it became a problem.   

 

Myriam was playing games and I laughed at her "tears" when Patrick's mother told her about herself.  How can she sit there and say, "I thought we were just friends?"  Really?  Maybe Myriam's brain dead but if a man told me he was coming from Europe to the USA to see me, I'd assume it wasn't just because he thinks we're friends.  

She's a player pure and simple, as is Patrick.

Shame on Shawn for cutting Patrick's mother off because she fell for the famous "white woman's tears" trope.

Myriam stated on the show that he played it like he was coming to Paris and that they should meet not that he was coming only to eet her.

Mother Patrick can' even tell her son who he is much less a woman she has never met.

Really? I read her book (What Remains, and I recommend it). I really liked her based on that, then I found out she was great friends with the utterly repellent Andy Cohen. Shudder.

I watch RHoNY and I like Carole.  All Housewives pretty much have to be friends with Andy Cohen; he's their executive producer.

Carole's friendship with Andy predates her being a HW.

[Pepper Mostly]

Right, should have been clearer--she got her spot on RHONY because she was friends with him already. 

[Former Nun]

Still like her.  RHoNY is the last of the franchises I watch...and that will probably get the next deletion.

Abby: You a Ho-Ho-Ho , Merry Chris-mas! Scabies and all.

Sean: Dude, there are a thousand other Ho's in Haiti. Just swap her for another one, until you find one that lies to you the least. Surely it's cheaper and more fun than getting strung along by ScAbbies.

Miriam:  you a two-faced bitch, no man buys a ticket to fly to the other side of the world just to hang out like friends. You're a heartless dick tease.

Darcy: I know your dream was to plant that Aryan sculpture in your house, but it's clear he's a douche who just wanted to get on TV.  Maybe just be a little open minded and find a guy of similar age with a little bit of a tummy, good hair and a good sense of humor, who will make you look really sexy next to him instead of like Donatella Versace look-a-like with a model escort?

Patrick:  you fell for classic chick game since the beginning of time: 'Platonic friends', what Chris Rock calls "Dick under glass. In case of emergency, break glass." Because you never know...

Jesse and Antonio: why don't you get a real job instead of looking for your 'big break' so you can finally move out of those shoe-box apartments. Exercise is good for the body, but have you ever exercised your brain?

Paul: I symphathize with your geekiness, and you seem to want to make up for your sins. Get some therapy. 

Karine:  sweet girl, awesome bod.. a little bit of a butterface, but a sweet girl nonetheless. I hope Paul takes care of you.

I really like Karine, and I feel so bad for her because she clearly realizes Paul is a HUGE loser. At the same time, she looks around and knows she doesn't have many options for a good life. Although I wonder if the whole cell phone theft/ machete threat was staged, I did recognize that Karine was in an area she identified as 'dangerous' and her nerves were shot. "I don't want this. I don't want Paul." She appears to be an intelligent gal, and if her life (and her family's) will be improved by her marrying Paul the loser, then I wish her well. HOWEVER, if Paul ends up just staying there, passively not learning the language and living off of her… well, maybe Paul will simply disappear? Her dad's a retired cop, right?

I agree, something was weird with the machete incident! First off, the guy runs up to her with a big ass machete already out in the open and no one has noticed it before he reached her? She didn’t seem that freaked out when it happened either. Plus, when the machete guy ran into the trees wasn’t there a sound like a gun being fired? Like the guy got shot by cops or something yet nothing was ever mentioned about hearing a gun shot was there? Did I miss that part? Plus she seemed to have a phone again quite quickly when Paul went to where she was staying at a friends house.

     Paul seems like a HUGE wacka doodle douche bag! 

     And remember that body suit get up he had on before he got into the water at the river or lake, whichever it was... that right there would’ve been enough for me to walk away!!

Has anyone checked out Darcy’s clothing line? Is it just merchandise with that logo plastered on it?

 Oh Larry, Larry, Larry what was that ridiculous bowing and genuflecting to Jenny’s parents?  And then he refused to eat the food that was specially prepared for him as a huge and expensive honor? It’s just pork, Larry. 

Anthony needs to  find a way to just tell Courtney that she needs to get a hotel room.  She’s being rude to insist on sleeping on the bed and making him sleep on the couch.  Why isn’t she on the couch?  she’s ridiculous I can’t stand her.

I wanted to swoop in and grab the whole pig and eat it myself. That is the best pork he would have ever tasted. I doubt he knows where pork comes from.

As the daughter of a French woman and the wife to a German man for 20 years, I gotta defend Europeans about the comment upthread that all Europeans are lazy?!? Sweeping generalization much? All the Europeans I have ever associated with have been well educated and hardworking. Thanks. Just had to get that off my chest. :-) 

Larry sucks. That is all. I don't care what the fueckety fuck Larry's issues are with pork or pig or pig's head; he could have been a damn sight more gracious about it. I know this has all been said, but my heart just broke when Jenny said that having a lechon was a special occasion, and that last time they had one when was she was a little kid.  Like once in 10 years?!? This came on top of knowing that Jenny has not seen her mother in three years. Can you imagine the burden that young girl feels to try to do her part to lift her family out of poverty? 

I am officially Team Jenny all the way now. Larry could have stayed in his end of the ocean and found some nice girl close to home, but no, Larry decided to go all exotic and bride shop on the other side of the world when he knows that he is the most unadventurous, untraveled, unaware of the outside world  person I have ever seen. You refuse to stay in your lane, you get what you deserve. Paul, criminal doofus that he is, managed to do some research on where he was going...maybe too much, but better than zilch, null, nada, zero. 

About the same amount of time Larry and Paul have sex.  

[athousandclowns]

So off topic but I sat and watched on demand all of the shows and the reunion is not available. I was able to watch the first segment with Sean and the giggling skyped hooker on TLC site then sat thru 9 commercials waiting for next segment  before giving up. Reading here I have to decide if it's worth buying / viewing on Amazon. Let face it my brain has already been turned into grape jelly after the marathon watch!

If I recall correctly, Larry is Jewish. So, no, he really couldn't have eaten any of the pig. And where do you get the bolded part from? McDonald's burgers are actually beef; highly processed beef, but they're still beef. So even if he eats at McDonald's, provided he's not having the McRib, then he's still not eating pork.

Passariello is an Italian name. And Larry is quoted in Men’s Health as saying he and Jenny are devout Christians:

Darcy's twin sister looks alot better than Darcy does. Darcy's plastic surgery really sucks.  But I agree with above. She smells of desperation like Dani does.

Just watching this now....sucked into this show from the Love After Lockup forum. I thought the same thing! Why does her sister look so much more natural AND younger than her? Her face looks all swollen all the time, a very botched plastic surgery. And the pictures she sent him (from what....20 years ago???) Wow she is in for a rude awakening. Sorry for my very belated comment but this is a dumpster fire I cannot stop watching.

This show constantly astounds me with the human mind's ability to deceive itself when it really really really wants something. She said she was taking one last shot at love for her and her kids. She said her heart was on the line, and so were her daughter's hearts. I suspect Darcey is one of those people who justify a lot of their behavior as parents by saying crap like "the best thing I can do for my kids is to give them a happy healthy mother." In other words, what makes mom happy is what's best for the the children. Even knowing that, I can't imagine how leaving her daughters for more than a month is good for them. How hooking up with a 24 year old is good for them. How marrying someone she barely knows, and they don't know at all is good for them. How bringing that 24 year old to live in her home as a father figure is good for them.

Darcey isn't a stupid woman. But she's certainly playing the role of one on tv. This woman is going to frustrate me. Not as much as Danielle and Nicole, but almost.

I agree with you, but I do believe she is kinda stupid - by choice. My jaw is on the floor watching this crap. I hate myself for being addicted to trash tv lately but I cannot turn away. 

[mamadrama]

So I'm way behind the times, but after watching S2 first, I decided to go back and watch S1. Holy moly. I HATED Jesse in S2. Thought he was kind of a psychopath. Now I'm seeing some of the groundwork for that. Darcey really is a bit much.  I am 39, so just a couple of years younger than her, but I swear to God I look 20 years younger. Her desperation is giving me secondhand harassment. And Pole is just a few bugbites away from losing his shit and going psycho on everyone. I actuallylike Abby. I'm sure that may change.

Maps aren't "in" a language. They're diagrams 🙂

I just vacationed in Italy.  I was appalled by the number of English speaking tourists (I'll leave you to guess their country of origin) who made no effort at all to use any Italian.  Not "hello", "please", "thank you". Nothing.  One woman, whose distinctive accent left no doubt about her nationality, complimented a fruit vendor in a market on his English. His face said "hey, bitch, how about you try some Italian?"

I know this post is super old but...I backpacked Europe half a dozen times by myself. Hungary had, by far, the most difficult language to catch onto. People often asked me how I was able to get around the city on their subway when I couldn't read their language. It's because I wasn't looking at the map, or subway stops, as words-I was looking at them as groups of letters like symbols and "matching" them to the ones in my guidebook. One doesn't need to be able to read the language to read a map. I really didn't get that about Cortney at all. That was the least of my issues with her, though.

[FrancescaFiore]

Late to the 90 Day shitshow, I'm just going back to see what a mess Darcey was before Tom, as a desperate for love 42 year old and to see the ill-advised beginnings of Paul and Karine's nightmarish relationship. (Her being pregnant may have had an effect on her mood, but I think she's really just an evil bitch. I love how she makes her cheating on him HIS fault and gets all pissy whenever he brings it up, as though HE did something bad to HER.  I'm assuming Paul was willing to let her treat him like crap because he's so afraid that his arsonist past precludes him from getting a woman who isn't awful to him.

Darcey though. Definitely looks better with the blonde extensions than the black ones. I never noticed what a 5head she has until I saw her with the black hair. I had to laugh though, because she's nothing if not consistent in her obsession with getting proposed to. From minute one with Jesse, she was dropping unsubtle hints like they were anvils in a Tex Avery cartoon. She just never lets up. There is something just so profoundly sad about her proclaiming every guy she's interested in to be "the love of her life." Crazy betch bought herself an engagement ring before she ever met Jesse in person.  She's certifiable. 

I'm on episode 5 right now and I'm still 100% certain Courtney is an idiot and that "Antonio" is probably a 400 pound woman in a trailer park killing time by pretending to be a Spanish male model.

[FrancescaFiore]

Sean: I don't want to share my wife with another man

Me: How about with a shit ton of little bugs? 

Abby seems sketchy to me. Then to find out she and her "ex" both have scabies, but the "ex" didn't tell her what to get treated for even after HE got treatment for scabies really just left me feeling like she's not being honest about some pretty important things. Like, why isn't she furious at Chris? Why did he want to talk to her off camera? Something is fishy. I'm going to have to start referring to Abby as ScAbby.

Side note: Did anyone else get a Jeffrey Epstein vibe from Chris?

GAWD!!!! Is this the ONLY show that this stupid POS channel has?!!! Now they've got what? Ten versions of the same idiotic show?!!!!!! 

Why am I surprised? This channel has had nothing but streaming piles of dung now for the past 20 years. Change your fucking name, because they only thing being learned here is that it doesn't matter if you are morbidly obese, in a cult with other fat, stupid losers sharing a husband or if you're a gypsy child bride - you can find a home here!!!

If Larry was Orthodox he would not have had to look further than the Rabbi's wife, she would have found him a nice girl practically next door!

Larry's issue wasn't being Jewish.  He stated he didn't want to eat the pork because "what if I get diarrhea."  Unless he had a severe pork allergy (which I'm sure he would have told her about) a few bites would not have done that.  Even though he seemed to genuinely like Jenny, and treat her well, in that instance, he was just being an ugly American - especially since Jenny was so happy to be giving him that feast.

Pork can be very rich and fatty. He may have had experience with getting diarrhea from eating it in the past. I know for myself that there are a couple of foods/alone or in combination with others, that just a small amount of will cause major digestive issues within just a short time.  I sympathize with him, and perhaps he should have given her a heads up.
