WHO asks their SO if they like their makeup?? Such an odd thing to ask. I get asking if they like your outfit, or new shoes, but...makeup? I almost think she asked that JUST to get his goat and get him to make a snotty response. 

Am I the only one who understands Pole with no problems without the subtitles? Granted, I work with people from all over the globe, and am used to thick accents (such as Asian and Indian) and have been told I understand some folks that most Americans do not, but still. He doesn't seem to talk very fast...so I don't get it? I also notice these useless subtitles sometimes on 600 Pound Life. 

As for Kreeny's acne and puffy face, I did some internet digging and there was an article on Starcasm that showed some pics of her with a belly bump that were posted on one of Pole's IG accounts and quickly removed. Some quick lurker got a pic of them beforehand, so yes, she is preggo, folks. 

I'm guessing she asked because didn't he make a big deal out of her insane makeup last year?  So she minimized it and looks a lot better and was looking for some positive feedback.  And she does look so much better than last year!

Just another weapon in Herr Jesse’s Toolbox (hehe) of Control: His reactions are inconsistent and unreliable, so Darcy thinks he’s going to be happy that she toned down the makeup like he asked her to do, and then he berates her/verbally slaps her down and she can continue to feel like a beaten dog. This ends up making Darcy meek and constantly walking on eggshells. Nothing is ever good enough and the goalposts keep moving. I lived through my own version of this years ago. Your lifeblood gets sucked out of you.

As a transgender woman, I am always dismayed by the "it's really a guy" jokes.   I have seen them in this week's episode thread, and last week's too.

There's a pernicious stereotype in popular culture that transgender people exist solely to deceive "normal" folks, to lure them into some kind of "Crying Game" scenario.  It paints us as perverts and liars and helps to fuel the kind of distrust and hatred that keeps us from finding jobs, housing or even a bathroom to use.

I'm sure deceptions do happen from time to time, but it's more the exception than the rule, no doubt because any transgender woman who pulls that kind of shit is taking her life in her hands.   For example:

U.S. Marine convicted of killing transgender Filipina

As with any stereotype, entire groups of people should not be tarnished by the questionable behavior of a relative few.   The rest of us, all of whom are harmed by that kind of negative stereotype, simply want to live our lives without being regarded as objects of suspicion, scorn or ridicule.

What?  The "it's really a guy" statements have nothing to do with anyone being transgender.  It's about someone portraying themselves as female online when they are really male.

Actually not really- I worked in immigration law right out of law school (I’m a lawyer) and most of the K-1 visas I came across were people who either lived/worked/studied abroad for a decent length of time, met their significant other there, fell in love and wanted to get married- but wanted to live/work as a married couple in the USA. 

Most K-1 visas aren’t from online relationships, although this show would have you think that. Most applicants are normal who just happened to be citizens of other countries, and have spent time and energy planning a wedding long before the 90days. 

My husband and I didn’t do the K1 route, but my husband and I are a pretty “normal” couple that just happened to be from other countries. We did technically meet “on vacation” but it was a months-long backpacking trip and we developed a relationship over an extended period of time. We both love traveling and did some together and FB etc was really just a way for us to keep in touch between times we saw each other in person. And we dated for several years with longer visits to make sure we were out of “vacation mode” before committing.

I really don’t get hopping online with the intention to meet someone internationally. There’s so many apps, websites etc where you can find a variety of partners within an hours drive.

I had thought that the show hasn’t included US/Western European relationships because there was not enough drama in them but Evelyn/David, Darcy/Jesse and Rachel/Jon are proving me wrong. Also don’t get why David never visited Claremont before committing to the K1 - I assume he doesn’t have a record like a Jon does.

I think Jon’s an alcoholic. I get puking from nervousness or food poisoning or whatever but whenever that’s happened to me, I’m all watery-eyed and red-faced afterwards and I’d DIE of embarrassment if it happened on a public street in front of a camera crew! Jon’s nonchalance was weird and disturbing. It was like NBD?!

[GoGamecox]

I wondered if the Jesse makeup line was some kind of attempt to say Darcy shouldn't wear makeup because she's pretty without any makeup at all on, and it just came out wrong? Or am I giving him too much credit? I do think he's an asshole -- just not sure he was totally being one there or not. And Darcy was totally fishing for a compliment in asking him what he thought of her makeup (as she has toned it down considerably now). I really do think he was trying to say, "Hey, that does look better, but you don't really need it at all. You look better without it." 

One thing that made me sad as a female about Darcy's age -- before seeing Jesse again she kept saying, "I've worked on myself physically" and "I've changed physically" and cited her weight loss (but it's also apparent she's had a facelift), but we can tell as viewers that she hasn't changed at all internally. She is so insecure about her appearance as an older woman that that's all she can think about. Aging isn't for the weak, friends!

Another thing that makes me sad: I'm a South Carolina resident and Angela's representation of the South is killing me. But I guess no one is really doing great things from the places they hail from, now that I think about it.

I absolutely don't think Melissa is the woman in the pictures. Ricky was sending money, so he sent money to someone with that name at the bare minimum. That's assuming he was sending it via Western Union or any type of service that requires identification to pick up cash. I don't think whoever it is will show up. Is it possible that he's going to meet someone else (a plant from TLC to salvage this trip) or just a woman in Medellin, absolutely possible. Maybe the real Melissa--not the one in the pictures--will reveal her true self and they'll hit it off. Stranger things have happened in the reality telly universe. Catfish people always say, "My feelings for you are real. Everything I told you was real. I just look different than the pictures I used."

If Jesse thought she looked pretty without makeup, he could have said, “You don’t need any makeup because you are beautiful without it.” Not so hard to put that into words. And if Darcy was fishing for compliments, he could have gone along with it. Doesn’t cost anything to tell her what she wants to hear and make her feel good about herself. But that’s not how Jesse rolls. Why say something nice when you can put Darcy down? Darcy would feel so empowered if she stopped letting Jesse have control of her, stood up for herself and stopped allowing him to browbeat her.

Another thing he does is that he makes it her job to keep his emotions on an even keel. Not good.

I agree.

I'm going to be 51 and luckily I get told that I look like i'm in my 30s a lot.  Still, it isn't easy.  And this is precisely why I wouldn't date someone in their 20s. (Admittedly, there is someone I play in a co-ed league who turns 38 say day I turn 51 who seems to be digging me and he's cute so I may dip that low in age range!).  Dating someone so much younger puts that much more pressure on your confidence on how youthful you appear!  No one wants to look like your date's mom.  So I'm not surprised Darcy's focus is on how she's transformed physically.

But of course Melissa is real and hot she just got caught in an elevator and then delivered a baby and did CPR and was finishing her journal article on cold fusion and lost track of time. 

[magemaud]

Maybe Ricky really is getting catfished and the producers thought it would make for good TV. After all, Myriam told Patrick "Sorry, I have a boyfriend" very early on but they still dragged out his visit to France for a few episodes, although at that point there it was obvious there would be no K1 Visa in the works. Perhaps we will be shown the aftermath of catfishing with Ricky coming to terms with it and telling his family they were right, etc. 

and then him dragging his happity ass home

Re wardrobe choices of Rachel and Pole:

Rachel looked much thinner in her pregnancy photos. That's probably baby weight. And if she's like me, she may have just bought a few "fat" clothes until she loses the weight. (I usually don't lose the weight and finally size up.)

In Paul's arson mug shot, he looks heavier. Much fuller face. So maybe he lost a lot of weight. But whatever the reason, he needs clothes that fit. And better shoes for his flat feet. And a new personality. And body.

Right! I just don't think a successful relationship could be built where you spent months or in some cases YEARS lying about anything and everything from your race to gender (literally this chick pretended to be Bow Wow--the rapper--and said she fooled women with a lamb skin sex toy) to where you live to the number of children you do or don't really have to people supposedly dying of cancer. Maybe if they weren't pathological liars who didn't take money or weren't scamming the Catfish-ed or talking to multiple men/women, there might be a chance of a romance blooming. 

Sadly, Ricky is to blame. Dude, you just decided you were going to take matters into your own hands and fly to Medellin without including her in the plans. Like sir, you don't know what she had going on because of her work schedule or family stuff, and for you just to pop up and be like meet me at 7...you deserve to still be sitting in that restaurant however many months later.

Some of MTV's Teen Moms/Jersey Shore girls started messing with their faces and bodies in their early 20s, so I wouldn't put it past Karine to try something, especially knowing that she's going to be popping up on a TV series. 

Also, Brazil is THE place that many Americans travel to for plastic surgery or other cosmetic procedures as it's very inexpensive to have work done there compared to the costs in the US. 

Her airport outfit was totally fugly, I agree. Then she walks around with Pole on Day 2 with greasy looking unwashed hair and a "cleaning my house on a Saturday" outfit. I understand not everyone is into fashion, nor can they afford to shop or even have access to spots like Target or Old Navy. Karine could've gone to Target.com and sent Pole a list of the clothing she needed/wanted in her size instead of asking for freakin onesies and stuffed animals!

Am I the only one who thinks it would have been hilarious if she'd requested items from the maternity section?

It wouldn't have hurt him to bring her some Kerastase products and to also take her to a hair salon to chop off about six inches from her hair. She looks straight up unkempt. Surely there's a hair salon in the same city as an airport?!

She was delighted with the poop emoji pillow.  They are both six years old in maturity.

After the age of 25, unless someone is concerned with having and raising Bio children, a 15years gap or less doesn’t phase me. 20years or more and you’re looking at them really being old enough to have parented you and it gets weird. 

I say go for your team mate!

 

Darcy does seem to have low self esteem- she’s doing what men have been doing for eons, having sex with younger people to make themselves feel young.

There is no Melissa. Whoever is texting with him has no connection to that porn model. There's no such person as Hazel, either. There may be some kind of grifter team at work where different people play different roles in the con. But these cast members are "in love" with phantoms. It's like "A Beautiful Mind," except that the delusions are less plausible.

Darcy and El Comandante trigger each other in such a bad way, it is painful to watch.  They really don't LISTEN when the other talks.  They have so much they want to spew, they can't take in what the other is saying, nor do they take a half second to absorb what was said and make a proper response.  There is a Lot of Baggage in those comments and landmines in the answers.  Darce is determined to keep her boitoi at the expense of her self-esteem.  El Comandante wants to visit the US and Darce is in the way.  

Ricky is waiting for a gal who is way out of his league and he's hoping she is overwhelmed by this personality, like he was with hers, obviously.

Darcey and Mr. Fixer Upper are doing the codependent dance. There may be a shred of love, but it's just triggering whatever issue they each have. It won't end well. Darcey will not do anything about her inner stuff unless she has to. Lose 170 lbs the fast way by kicking the dude to the curb.

Ricky was just overwhelmed by the woman's appearance in her photo.

Jon raises some red flags that Rachel is probably too tired from raising a munchkin to even notice. She really needs to ask some serious and probably unpleasant questions to see who he really is. And vice versa.

Definitely you are giving him too much credit. He was completely hostile. No reason he couldn't have said exactly what you did - "you're so pretty you don't need it," instead of "makeup's not for everyone." Jerk. Only a control freak tells you how to do your makeup. Trust me, I know.

Best part about Ricky is he's so convinced once she sees him and sees what a great guy he is, she's just going to instantly love him and squeeze him and call him George. I suspect he's not going to afford her the same courtesy once he gets a load of her and she's not who she claimed to be. I've talked to guys online but in no way, shape or form would I go barging into their lives without so much as a direct conversation to discuss a meet up first.

I dunno, I live in Germany and Germans are known to be brutally honest without regard to others feelings. Like "hey good morning, wow.. you look like crap today!". Like it just comes out of nowhere. I've even heard that the Dutch are even more brutally honest. At least, that is the excuse they give you when they insult you. But if you turn the tables on them, and treat them the same, suddenly they don't like it. So why can they dish it out but not take it? I still to this day am not convinced about this 'hey I'm being honest' excuse. There are ways to say things...
