Season 2 Discussion

[Neurochick]

These people should just be pen pals and leave it at that.

As for Jon’s job, in NYC if you work for the Department of Sanitation, you can make pretty good money, so I’m not snobbish about that job.

In the TH, Jon has black with a little grey hair and in the pub, it’s more brown/red.

[Owwwww ma leg]

As our president said “small hands” and Jon’s are quite small lol!

[Pepper Mostly]

He has a "criminal record". So he's done time? That's why he lives with his mum?

I would be extremely devastated if a man came to visit me wearing a fanny pack.

Why? I would be laughing! 

[Armchair Critic]

Wonder if Jon's mom (and sister) know he was sending Rachel money since he is living off mom?

[Alonzo Mosely FBI]

I like Jon’s friends lol! Preach,  brothers ! 

And Michaels buddies in Nigeria hassling him in the same manner, too funny I love it! This insanity is truly universal !

 He’s just being safe! ROFL!

[AussieBabe]

So he's 34, lives at home with his mum, and his internet-girlfriend and insta-daughter are all taking up residence in his mum's house?

Why are the siblings and children of these people so much more intelligent?

I’m wondering the same.

[IOU Payne]

I'm another expat Pounder.  Hah y'all doing? 

What the actual fuck is the deal with that fugly Lord's Prayer purse?  Emblazoning it on a cheap-ass handbag so people can snark at it is mos def taking the Lord's name in vain.  No good!

 

Darcey and MaxHeadroom?  I can't even.  Same with Elderly Angela and Guy Who's Younger Than Her Daughter.  

I was on vacation in the South a few years ago and I enjoyed a Catfish Po Boy.  We have a few of them here - they're being catfished and after spending all their money, boy will they be poor.

We'll be here all night....

[kacesq]

Karine looks rough. and very different from when we last saw her....

[Ellie Godfrey]

Pole: Cool beans. OMG. He's a 14 y/o girl! From the early 90s.

[lucy711]

Both Rachel and Jon look a little different on their phones than in real life...

I can't snark on Jon for his job.  I respect anyone who works for a living, and I'm sure his job isn't easy.

I have no issues with Jon's job.  It's his record which I wish they would elaborate and not meeting Rachel at the airport.

[Neurochick]

Siblings, friends and children see the situation objectively, they’re not as emotionally invested as the participants are.

This weirdo in Brazil needs something, not a girlfriend.

[Suzywriter]

Girl! Those tights!!

[VioletNevermind]

Paul is awfully chill for a guy who supposedly lost about 150 pounds of luggage, not to mention his legal documents.  Call me a big nerdy worrywart, but I would still be hyperventilating at the airport. 

[Pepper Mostly]

"We have a strong connection". Or at least you did until she stopped responding to your texts. Jesus Ricky. 

[Suzywriter]

Ok, Ricky is just corny. Hair...wax?

[PeaceLily2]

The Fanny Packs is another option for our name.

[PupCal]

Odds on Carlos being Ricky's "love of his life"?

[Mercolleen]

Is Scottie's neck tattoo a pair of lips melting into a football?  

ETA: Aaaaaaahhhhhh! I just got a glimpse of an inner boob tattoo on Angela when she bent over to kiss her granddaughter goodbye. Just when my eyes had unrolled ... now they are damaged.

I live with me mum and work in waste management. I love Rachel's big eyes. (Shot of Rachel's boobs.)

My favorite lines of the evening so far.

I heart Cousin Carlito the Love Coach.  Ricky is lucky to have him in his corner.

I am wondering if Nigeria boy will not meet up Granny at the airport. Cause you know, it maybe bad for him to be seen with a white woman???? :-P (take on his comment on why he couldn't have granny's pics on his phone!)

I'm trying to figure out what is different about her. Did she gain weight and her face is just fuller?

Oh, you know he won't be there! We'll get to see Angie melt down in the terminal. Poor thing.

I guess seeing Karine calmed him down

[jacksgirl]

Did Jon just puke up his drink? Gross

[Tuneful]

I've got it -- Rachel is a poor man’s Katie Holmes with a sprinkle of Susan Sarandon. Neither she nor Grizzly Man looks like their phone photos, so I can’t wait for that reveal. Jon looks like he’s pushing a hard 50. He lives with Mum and clearly money is tight, let alone for a wife and child. I think he just didn't want to spend $55 to take the train to Heathrow and back.

I’ve gotten soooo tired of these men like Ricky, Tariq, Pole., Josh, David P., etc. who think foreign woman are hotter and more of a trophy on their phone and their arm (and more submissive?) than women from their home area. Then they end up paying through the ar*e -- poetic justice. 

Angie knows nothing about travel. I almost feel that at 60 or whatever her true age she needs looking after more than her grandchildren. Died at the lilac Jeebus purse.

Kreeny is so over it, including not speaking the same language. Could she have looked any more indifferent at the airport? Wait until the luggage thieves pry open Pole's stash from Fort Locks, to find kiddie toys, slippers, onesies, and several Hello Kitty sex toys. And how DUMB do you have to be to not put your important papers in your carry-on?? In 4 months, Karine has aged 10 years and looks rough (maybe she's 33, not 21). I bet that other American loser has already come to see her. If I were P or K I would have known the moment they hugged it’s over.  

Darcey and Jesse must be scripted, I can’t believe it’s reality. So passive-aggressive and nasty. So delusional on her part. I think Jesse’s a baldy and those are extensions or a wig. He's looking like the Dollar Tree version of his stepfather. The way she begs him embarrasses me for her. 

I need a Dinyell palate cleanser.

I just said the same thing to my son. 

Tarik seems so nice, what is his flaw??  Steady, employed, owns a nice home.....

[sainte-chapelle]

Pounder here too! Late to the party but Rachel has this whole fantasy about Jon being the baby daddy and them having the happy family with no mention of her other child because she represents her failed relationship. Guess what Rachel, Jon is not the father (in my best Maury voice) and you need to face the fact you got preggers by a guy who doesn't care and acknowledge the feelings of your other child and her father.

[Armchair Critic]

Tarik says his online girlfriend is "sweet natured". It's easy to be sweet natured when you only talk to somebody once in awhile online and it's not day to day real life. 

[DVDFreaker]

Oh jeez! Hazel being a good step mom? He is being delusional 

[VioletNevermind]

Oh my Lord, pardon me while I melt into a big, sloppy puddle over Tarik’s daughter.  She’s adorable.  Shame on him for doing this.  Absolutely unbelievable.

These Dr. Pimple Popper commercials are not welcomed in my home.  I'm eating.

Carry on

Thank god that Dugger commercial where one of the J'kids is shrieking out The Star Spangled Banner has run its course.

Why is Tarik dressed like Elmer Fudd to fly out?

Looking for wabbits?

Tariq. Honey. Go home. That he's putting his precious daughter on the back burner to chase this illusion is killing me. 

[Armchair Critic]

Rachel's hair is looking a bit greasy, that and her sweatshirt is not the best look to meet a new man. But then again she is meeting Jon who is no prize himself. ERK, barfing????

[Gigglepuff]

OMG!!! Jon puked on the street!!

Yes I agree. But I also think rachel’s ex husband doesn’t want his daughter mentioned on the show. We didn’t even get a picture last episode, so that’s why she isn’t mentioning her elder girl (in addition to what you said above)

 

why is John brushing his teeth on a public street?!!! Who does that?!!

[Pepper Mostly]

OK, we really didn't need to see Jon vomiting all over the streets of London. 

[PeaceLily2]

How do you go to another country and NOT have enough money for a hotel room?  WTF
