And yes, Larry is creepy. I couldn't figure out why so many people kept singing his praises in the beginning. He always creeped me out.

Yessss, me too.  I was one of the first people in the thread after he was first introduced who said I thought he was creepy and there was a reason he's been single so long.  Everyone said he's just a sad sack and harmless.  Ah HEM.  Told ya'll so (ducks and runs.)

I agree with everyone that Corny is a complete and utter fool and that her parents' trepidation about her flying to Spain to get engaged or whatever was completely justified.  I mean, look what happened?  But the thing about their "relationship" that I really can't stand is the way Antonio refuses, time and again, to just MAN UP and TELL her "it's not working and you have to leave."  His passive-aggressive approach is NOT working because she's jus not astute enough to realize what he's trying to do.  He's like the high school boyfriend who wants to dump his girlfriend without hurting her so he starts to treat her like shit, hoping she'll dump HIM.  He is too old to be acting that way.  If you want her gone, don't run away "hoping" she'll get the hint and leave before you get back.  TELL HER TO LEAVE.  The direct approach always works best.

Their relative sizes are weird, but the important thing for me is the complete lack of intelligence in her eyes.  Cows look at passing trains with more comprehension.

Manning-up and breaking it off is most likely what he would do if they weren't on a TV show that craves drama and crazy behaviour. Aren't they getting paid to be together no matter how unhappy or incompatible?  What's the likelihood of the show producers not intervening and creating manufactured tension with stunts like disappearing to do laundry for 24 hours? Or getting down on one knee to present an "appreciation ring". I mean ... who does that??

Larry needs to stay in the US. He can't handle "cultural differences". He needs to go on US dating sites and find a simple woman who can appreciate his lifestyle. 

I have been to the islands of Hawaii, Oahu and Kauai several times & have attended many luau's.  Each time, you're invited to watch them place the pig into the "imu" early in the morning & then remove it before serving.  It is actually the best pork I've ever had.

If this guy keeps kosher, which I do respect as I have family members who keep kosher, all he needed to do was explain this & eat the foods not cooked inside the pig. I don't believe he does, there's a lot more to keeping kosher than not eating pork. I think it turned his stomach to see the whole pig laid out like that.

The majority of men are too chicken to directly tell a woman that whatever relationship they have is over, unless they are angry about something. A lot of them just start avoiding the woman until she gets the hint. I dont think he has the will to tell her to get out of his apartment though. By the way, there's no way the "Broken A/C" story is real and not production-driven. When the A/C is broke in a very hot climate, you can tell by looking at the people in the room. Courtney had a flawless face of makeup that wasn't smeared even a little, plus her hair was smooth.

In the beginning, they were starting to sweat when the A/C did "break." And, it really appeared to be dripping water.  I think it just froze up because they had been running it too hard. (Perhaps Antonio's American guest liked to stay extra cool?) All he needed to do was keep it turned off for about four hours and it would run again.

When they resumed filming 36 hours later, Courtney was made up because it appeared to have been fixed. I think that the A/C guy must have shown up, or, after asking a few specific questions, he told Antonio to turn it off for a few hours before letting it run again.

Antonio does need to go ahead and tell her to leave. Or, he can just take off again. This time for two days. See if she's still sitting there when he gets back.

I was like, "Courtney, go out and look at SPAIN!"

Courtney wasnt going to leave that apartment. She couldn't let that door slam and lock behind her. Antonio would have snuck back in, pushed her crap in the hallway, turned off the lights and ignored her banging on the door.

Poor man probably sat in the park across the street all night hoping for her to leave so he could reclaim his home.

I feel that somehow I’ve been transported into the movie “Groundhog Day ” and must view the same clips over and over every week or episode. Evidently the producers assume no intelligence or memory on my part, even though we are now at Episode 11 and only the die-hard can be assumed to be present. I hate being treated like a moron, although I guess these days that can be considered a compliment.  

It makes me sad to see Kreeny persist, although I know it’s for her sake and her family. Maybe it’s like Jenny’s mom having to go abroad. At least K. seems genuine. I wonder how her retired-cop father feels about the felony/felonies and, if he also knows that Pole probably has no economic prospects. 

Abby is a snake, a liar, and quite ordinary looking, with those spaniel-ear extensions a-flappin'. I wish whiny Sean would meet with an unfortunate accident (paging Mambo Gladys!) and be replaced with John, the only voice of sanity in this hot mess along with Delusional Larry’s brother and Filipina SIL, and Mamas Jesse and Patrick.

I can’t believe Larry didn't have the decency to say goodbye and apologize in person to Papa, who looked so upset in that one clip. The Notorious Larry-P is rapper fabulous in that hat. I cringed the more he slid his tentacles and dumped his FEELINGS all over J. (without asking anything about hers or what she wants), serving to make her cry and recoil all the harder. But for her part, she should have told him it’s not working. I know, I dream. 

Re Sulky Elly Mae—Cortney, don’t tell me you live in Orlando, travel the world, and can’t handle a patch of heat and humidity. It's not like she parachuted in from the North Woods. It’s obvious she always expects someone else to pick up the tab. I’m sure she’s never available to reciprocate the free hospitality of her “couch surfing” hosts, in her parents’ home. Clearly I’m a sucker to, like, work and pay rent. Antonio is at least 40 (miles of hard road). 

Jesse, you don’t get on one knee, place a “diamond"-looking ring on a woman’s left ring finger and announce your “appreciation.” “Appreciation” is a nice pen a boss gives someone after 10 years of service. As if we should kiss HIS ring because he went to the immense trouble of having the Dutch J.C. Penney engrave it. With all those dangerous-looking gears and machinery grinding a foot or two away (so romantic!), if it were me, this scene would haunt my nightmares forever. Even garbage trucks would trigger PTSD. I wish this were Hitchcock so Darcy could "accidentally" bump him to Geardom Come. How gentlemanly to force someone who’s afraid of heights to climb a vertical ladder (probably in heels) to Norman Bates's Attic, for all she knew. Don't you love these men pushing their dates into humiliating physical exercise and then criticizing them?

All in all, no wonder I don't want to date. I might have coffee with John, though. 

P.S. What is Patrick on? Ritalin? Bolivian marching powder?

Here's another universal truth that this time Myriam should know: Any red-blooded guy who is your "friend" and wants to hang out with you is actually just trying to have sex with you, to further validate himself. If the girl is a 4 or above on the looks scale, its pretty much guaranteed. Patrick has zero interest to practice mixed martial arts, at which he is an expert, with a girl who has never done it before. The whole point of the gym hangout was for Patrick to try to come on to Myriam and makes a move and see how she reacts. I didn't find anything inappropriate about the way he touched her - he wasnt touching bodyparts that are off limits to "friends", and if she didnt want to get a closer with him - then dont hang out with him, and maybe not while youre complaining about your boyfriend to him either. This is not middle school anymore.

I thought that the reason Miriam was so annoyed at being asked to go to the gym was because she kind of thought Patrick was hinting that she was fat. We know why Patrick set it up for them to go there, but Myriam came in the door looking upset.  Who asks someone to hang out at the gym while they're on vacation? I don't think she figured out what he was really trying to do until he did that "hug" martial arts pose. Then she seemed even more annoyed. 

Darcy seemed to already know she wasn't getting proposed to when Jesse got down on one knee. She's the kind of woman that would squeal and prance if she thought it was a real proposal. She was surprisingly subdued during the whole windmills thing. I had to laugh that Jesse's only stipulation with the ring was Darcy could not call it an engagement ring. She could call it a promise ring. She could call it a love token but she better not call it engagement. That's as verboten as the devil wine.

Cortney is definitely that type of couch surfer that makes you have to give up your whole apartment so you can get away from them. I don't think she's ever paid for a hotel in her life. Antonio has been catfished so bad by this relationship. I bet he's cut down on bringing sugar mommies back to his place ever since Cortney harshed his mellow.

For an encore to that absurd ring presentation, I hope Jesse tells Darcy that he wants to throw her a going away party before she leaves: "Hey babe, why don't you put on a big white dress and meet me at the church so we can make vows to love one another in front of all my friends and family. But it's NOT a wedding, it's a going away party! What are you so upset about?! Hey, look at that goat..."

I'm ashamed to admit this, but here goes....I bought this season on Amazon for $19.99.  I don't have regular cable but saw one episode and got hooked!

 

Darcy - Those fillers aren't doing her any favors.  She looked horrible coming off that plane.  No way does she look 42.  I'm 45 and my teenager said she looks "way older" than me.  Did you notice that when Jesse walked into his apartment, he was wearing an "H & 11" jacket from Darcy's label?  There is something unnerving about him.  I can't quite put my finger on it.  I desperately want to cut that clump of side bang that he's constantly  brushing back.  His apartment seemed a little too effeminate with the satin bedspread, pink champagne, flowers, female bust.  I loved how Darcy made it seem like she almost broke her leg when her shoe got caught in the "elevator."  Talk about dramatic.  She looked ridiculous hobbling around in the stilettos.  This should be interesting.

Paul - I could swear I saw two boxes of athlete's foot cream when the dogs were sniffing his luggage.  A venom extractor, full first aid kit, water filters....did he pack a defibrillator as well?  His relationship is the most bizarre of all of them.  He has been talking with her for months, yet only took 3 weeks' worth of Portuguese?  They literally cannot communicate without a translator app.  There's no way this can work out.

Sean - He's a relatively good-looking man.  Ok, he has a thing for dark-skinned women.  I live in Cincinnati, which is less than 2 hours away.  There are plenty to choose from.  Every time he calls her "Baby" the hair on my arms stand up.  She is a baby at age 20.  He should be ashamed of himself.

Courtney is like a dumb cop who has all the evidence but wants the confession.  After sampling her goodies, Antonio couldnt wait to get away.  You know he was hoping that leaving her in that hot box for 24 hours would piss her off enough to leave.  No such luck with Court who cant take a hint.   If he'd been gone a week she'd still be there drinking all the wine, crying and texting.  They are my new favorite couple.  Antonio needs to tell her to "Look at the goat" and get the hell out of there for a couple weeks so she'll leave.

The worst thing about Larry is not that he didn't eat but that he will never get what the matter was !

He says it's cultural differences.  NO. It's nothing cultural Larry. Anywhere in this damn world, you're meant to eat when you're invited to... eat. And if ever you had some restrictions, you would tell your host before coming to their house  "sorry, I don't eat meat " or " I'm allergic to eggs".

And even in a spontaneous dinner party, you just eat whatever you can eat. I'm sorry but he knew he was going to a feast. Did he expect them to cook cheeseburgers?

If he had just figured out that bacon was actually an animal, he could have tasted the noodles which are very common, even in the US. Pork was not the only thing on that table. Some people in America have no clue what real food is like.

Larry is dumb and not even nice.  He was belligerent and careless talking about the incident. No apology, no questioning of his behavior (it's just food), and this very dismissive

" I'm not a Filipino. I'm not supposed to eat like them".  He had no real reason. Just their  food is not good enough for him, but their girls are good enough for sex. Hate him.

And can't he dress properly? These humble people were better dressed than he was. .

Not defending Larry (well, maybe just a little) but didn't he tell her no sex before marriage? So...he's not out just using her for sex, is he?

My husband makes similar snide comments/expressions as he walks in and out of the room during the show.  He refuses to actually sit and watch an entire episode. Usually, it's along the lines of, "Oh my God, I can't stand these people."  And then leaves to watch football or something.

Sean dogded that bullet and left without proposing.  Then he saw how depressing it was inside his apartment and thought about killing himself.  I don't understand people who travel to another country and spend a truckload of money on courting a person, but their home looks like shit.

Wait a minute, Paul and Karine have been using the translate app all this time, now he is proposing and he's so dense that he writes it ALL in English?   Karine is not so dumb after all.  A tip to all men, if the girl doesn't say YES right away, walk away.

Myriam is so full of shit.   Everyone can see that this was all a staged setup.   Patrick is such a douche.  He doesn't know that to dethrone an existing boyfriend, you can't badmouth him and ask for a chance in the same sentence.  Patrick saying "I have to respect the friend thing" and hitting on her at the same time.  What a joke.  Patrick and Myriam are so basic and so dumb (together and separately) that they are not worth writing about....Outside the boat again....Myriam, I really want to be with you.....Stop being so pushy.    and Patrick, you are 25, please stop yapping about "the love of your life".   It was nice to see Mother Patrick distill some sense into his BS.

Antonio, please explain to Corny that you are just in it for the sex and that hanging out for two weeks doesn't mean you want marriage.  No one explained this to Corny in her late teens.....
Corny, how did you create a friendship with him?  You don't even know his family.

Larry and Jenny, Jenny forgave Larry.  What a surprise......Only Larry would call Jenny the most beautiful woman, though he was smart enough to add "that I've ever been with".   I really love the cousin telling her not to come to the US with that fucked up attitude.   And his wife, a Filipina herself, hating on Jenny.

It takes months and sometimes years to develop a real, mature relationship, yet in less than 10 days, all these people either propose or can't stop talking about it.
