I'm casting my vote with the one brave person that said Melissa is not a catfish. Because TLC may be working that angle to make us believe she is a catfish just to do the bait and switch again (bad pun intended), much like they did with Antonio and Courtney. I'm not getting my hopes up that this is going to be some troll just to be let down again. Is anyone else disappointed when the catfish ends up being the real person like I am? What I always root for is for the catfish to be a regular person, not some Instagram model, and for the catfishee to finally realize, hey if I'm a 3 I maybe could date a 3 and it will be ok to be with a regular person! Lol of course that never happens and might be less interesting to watch. 

If Melissa actually is the person from the picture then she is just not interested in one of the many guys she is scamming showing up IRL. The only thing that makes me question that was what he said about the gif loop video. If I am wrong about this that's fine too because he (Ricky? Name is escaping me) needs to learn a lesson here. All these people that being kids into these situations need to learn some hard lessons. 

Possibly this is a catfish this time vs Corney and Antonio because they haven't introduced us to all the couples yet. After this plays out the other couples show up?

I agree with whoever said there was a Madonna/Whore thing going on, except I believe it’s likely all about Karine getting the sex toys and stuff animals to do some webcam action for men around the world. She needs to be prepared for if a guy is looking for the saint or the sinner. If she was naive as Paul seems to want us to believe, how would she know what to tell him she wants from the sex store? She probably led Paul to believe the toys are only for use with him. 

Jesse is not as good looking as he believes himself to be. He is a very poor man’s version of the super hot Alexander Skarsgard. I also have a hard time believing he is 24 or he is the oldest looking 24 year-old I have ever seen. Fresh-faced he is not.

The Rachel issue makes me nervous. A guy you have never met is really interested in your baby to the point of paying for daycare and he has a shady criminal record because he likes to fight (if not more). Yeah, I would not be comfortable with my baby in this situation. She stresses me out because she is basically saying she had no problem putting her baby in the presence of a man she never met but who is admittedly violent.  This is like the start of a Lifetime movie. What could go wrong?

Catfish guy seems to have very low self-esteem because he continually puts himself down. What he needs is therapy, not another woman. If he could get himself together, he would be seen as quite a catch as a single dad working to raise his daughter could be seen as desirable to women, especially single moms who know the struggles of single parenting. 

All these people seem to want super hot significant others but aren’t too picky on any other attributes. As someone in their early 40s, I would be just fine with an average looking guy, who has a good heart, job, clean criminal record and who does not expect me to pay his bills because I don’t expect him to pay mine. I sure as hell am not going out of the country to find him. I would rather spend that money on me.

I'm thinking that Rachel Mom and Catfish? Dad might be a good match.

I didn't think that UK passport holders required a visa to visit the US. Unless he has conditions on travel or holds a different passport.

British passport holders can visit The States for 3 months without a visa. But depending on his actual charges he may have a travel ban... certain crimes will deny anyone access into The States but usually minor ones have a statute of limitations.

I'm with you here.  My husband and I are in our 30s, own our own home, have jobs, and raise our son.  My father (my mother is deceased) respects the decisions we make and how we parent our son.  But if we were doing anything that would possibly threaten the safety and well-being of our son, he would do anything humanly possible to stop us.  If I were Rachel, my dad would insist on watching him while I went to England.  If I fought him on the issue, he would probably make my life a living hell as much as possible.  If I was someone like Nicole who couldn't support my child on my own AND I wanted to run off to Morocco, he'd sue me for support.  And I get it.  His grandson's  safety is more important than my decisions about my love life.

Thank you for that.  :-D

Chris is really trying to capitalize on the military trade. He has Fort Lockers and now Fort Knockers. I wonder how many other "Fort" businesses he has.  I think Chris is shady AF. What legit business would hire David or Paul.

There was another couple that hinted of catfish. The single father and the Phillipina (she never smiled/showed her teeth). He went to her parents and wouldn't eat the food. I can't remember their names. He was also looking for the hot girl.

Yes, we have absolutely NO PROOF that she asked her mother to take care of the baby and her mother refused.  I think it's kind of mean to hang labels on her when we have no idea what her position is.  And you are absolutely right - We might assume that if Dad was concerned he would have offered to keep the baby and Rachel refused him as well.  But, again, we have absolutely no evidence that taking the baby with her wasn't her first plan all along.

Agreed.  I think because he has shown extraordinary interest in her baby, it seems like Rachel believes that the three of them will ride off into the sunset together.  Insta-family!

[magemaud]

That was Larry and Jenny. He worked at a McDonalds. Larry refused to eat the roast pig that her family and village had prepared for him. They got engaged but there was never a follow up on them. I had totally forgotten about them but just today there was something in my news feed hinting that they might be back on a future show.

Is he near Fort Knox, or another Fort? That would be plausible, then.

I’m finally getting to watch and holy cow, the desperation on this show is disturbing. Darcy needs to let this douche go, but no, she’s gonna be his wife someday and let her kids get caught up in their sham of a relationship. 

Marlboro Mama is shades of Nicole and Azan except she is 52 and should know better.

The lady with the baby is in for a world of hurt as is Rickie.

I wonder who’s baby Karine is having, certainly can’t be Penis Fish Paul’s. 

Well, off to watch the rest of this shit show

Yes, Chris seems shady to me as well.  BTW, the Urban Dictionary defines Fort Knockers as "a highly guarded and secretive goldmine of one's adult material. Usually referenced in regard to a voluminous and particularly titillating collection."  Why am I not surprised?

Not sure Chris is good at this, so I am happy to brainstorm businesses for him.  

Fort Bockers - Chicken restaurant

Fort Cockers - Chippendales, with camo bowties

Fort Dockers - Pants warehouse

Fort Fockers - brothel

Fort Hockers - pawn shop

Fort Jockers - sports equipment

Fort Mockers - comedy bar

Fort Rockers - live music 

Fort Soccers - adjunct to Fort Jockers, for resale of kids sports supplies

Fort Talkers - Ted talks for idiots

Fort Walkers - dog walking / boarding

As soon as we were introduced to Ricky's daughter I realized that the biggest consistently with all the versions of this show is that the children are far smarter and wiser than their parents.  I think even little Lucy is far more aware than her mother-the only problem is that she can't give good advice yet due to limited speaking ability.  

 

So much of THIS. Ricky's daughter was being far more polite than her stupid father deserves. She's knows EXACTLY what's gonna happen. The poor girl just lost her stepmom/sister and four months later her dad is trying to marry some fake internet woman he hasn't EVEN MET. I just can't.

Lucy, the cutest baby in world, is also smarter than her mom. She's like Boss Baby with her expressions...when she widened her eyes when John was talking to her via Skype, you could tell she was thinking "OMG, send help, I can't believe this is my life...." Her mother seems kinda normal, but she's loca. Sending the umbilical cord? Having dude on Skype while you're delivering? If you can't just focus on your own child WHEN SHE IS LITERALLY COMING OUT OF YOUR VAGINA then there is no hope for you, I'm afraid.

The rest of them, ugh. I don't want any more Darcy and Jesse. They are just for the cameras at this point, they despise each other. Same with Paul and Karina. Hillbilly Grandma is super super sad and pathetic. Geez all it takes is some internet scammer to say you look nice and you're all in? Tragic. Delusional.

I can't get on the sympathy for Darcy train. She's a famewhore and drama queen, and I suspect she's loving every once of attention she's getting and the same applies to him. Jesse is reprehensible, but she's no better, they remind me of Molly and Luis in some ways, and it's not just the age difference. Feeling this way, I cackled when Jesse made the passive aggressive comment about Darcy and her makeup because sometimes it takes a narcissist to get under the skin of another narcissist. These two deserve each other, much like the other couples featured on the series. I feel for the children and families of these idiots, but very little sympathy for the most of the participants so far.

Right? This woman clearly spends thousands of dollars and hours of her times every week to tweak every aspect of her artificial appearance, and you're talking like she's some granola earth mother experimenting with lipstick.

Jesse is a jerk but I find myself using the phase "makeup is not for everyone" along with "I like that 55 percent" and " pass me my red bag with my makeup" ( my makeup bag is magenta but close enough.

Hillbilly Angie needs to slow her roll.  Cryin' about the price of a wedding ring from a pawn shop?  And then what was it she said about "being the only white person in Nigeria"?  Jesus Tapdancing Christ, woman.  She's defnitely the new Dinyell/Nicole but, despite it being all but an impossibility, even dumber.  

She called Nigeria a state. She's dumber than a box of rocks. Ricky sending that girl money? Ugh. Can't wait until he finds out it's a man, or a 60 year old woman, or something...

I don't like Darcy, but the way Jesse belittles her is abusive. She needs to run the other way. The way he talked about how she had to improve herself for this to work -- that is so not OK.  I don't think Darcy had a face lift. She lost weight, new hair color, is doing her makeup differently and I'm sure she went in for her usual filler/botox appointment.  

Paul is incredibly weird. I wouldn't let him marry my daughter, or get within a 100 mile radius of her. Karine -- she's 21 and loves stuffed animals, animal onesies, animal slippers... and sex toys? That is one bizarre match up. 

Rachel sent Jon a piece of umbilical cord? That was icky. 

I just can't with these people. They are soooooo deluded. But, this is so much fun. Except for Jesse, he's pure creep. 

[BabyDaddy]

Just dropping in to say, I finally figured out what Karine reminds me of... she's kind of like a Brazilian Maggie Gyllenhaal with the droopy cheeks... at least, that where it looks like she is headed.

Once again, the roles of parent/child are reversed (Angela/Scottie and Ricky's daughter who is incredibly intelligent, insightful and mature).

I really think Paul is on the spectrum.  And the whole pep talk from Mom ("I hope you don't have a panic attack; if you do...") and the stuffed animals and animal slippers.  And the guy speaks so damn fast he needs subtitles?  I have a real problem with fast-talkers but he is over the top.

Jesse is a gaslighter.  How many times does he put his rude, domineering behavior on Darcie ("you need to work on yourself.  Can you change? Are you drinking again?")  He makes me supremely uncomfortable Why, oh why does she think he is her true love?  She is a reasonably smart (well, until you look at her relationships) and successful woman.  She surely could to better.

Rachel... sad.  This is what she's ok with? Taking an infant to meet her "pseudo-dad"?  She needs to focus on her family and getting her act together.  Not to mention that the guy looks to me like a scary woods-dweller serial killer.  And he has a record of (several) violent offenses.  And why must people here convince themselves that "if this doesn't work out, I'll be utterly heartbroken for the rest of my life"?  Simmer down- you haven't met the person yet!

I have to say, I actually think Ricky is a good guy, I just think he's been looking for love in all the wrong places. He seems like a good father, but some of these guys are just so naive.  Instead of looking at the hot t&a, they need to look more to the character of the girl, and they just don't...

I don't know if that's naive.  I'd call it shallow.  He wants his porn-style hot girl, even if it means sending her money, possibly bringing a stranger into his kids' lives, etc.  Naive has a connotation of innocence.  He might be gullible in thinking he can buy a hot girl, but the willingness to try to buy one is not an act of innocence.  Just a shallow dude who wants other men to envy him when they see Melissa.

I agree with everything you said.   Also concerning Paul and the serial killer,  I remember a few years ago that reality shows tried to avoid people that were unstable or had been arrested.  This show almost seems to go out of their way to find these types, I don't know how I feel about it especially when there are innocent children (Lucy) involved. 

The being heartbroken part is right up there with "knowing this is the love of my life" .  How many of them have uttered this phrase?   

Jesse is just in this for the exposure IMO he's in love with himself and likes being on tv.   Darcie reminds me  of Molly, both successful, both have a nice home great kids, no self esteem and are looking for ridiculously younger men to be husbands and stepfathers.

I might be overly suspicious because of what I've seen from Paul, but I took Mom's mention of a panic attack to be her covering for him, trying to make us think that what we saw in Brazil was a panic attack. Sorry, but people don't blatantly manipulate others while in a full blown panic attack, and that's what Paul was doing (although he did scamper away from the machetes). 

I get that people's legitimate panic attacks are often misconstrued as manipulative, but in this case, I think we were seeing the the calculated actions of a criminal who never would have jumped into that water.

If he wants a 'natural beauty' what on earth is he doing hanging out with her? She is a natural beauty but she is never going to be a makeup free Bohemian.

Oh, I just answered my own question. Set what for her is an unrealistic goal. He might as well be asking someone like her to... quit drinking.

Heaven forbid she did quit drinking and wearing makeup. How would he raise the bar then?

I admit to being a bit ... puzzled ... by the Ricky scenario. His daughter (Amber?) is by far the coolest, most insightful, well-spoken individual I think we've EVER seen on this show. She's, what, 12? A very mature 12 though. And she is clearly old enough to have agreed to be part of the show (and I have no doubt that her dad is a terrific, loving, warm dad to her and I'm guessing that's a big reason WHY she has agreed to participate). She seems to have a very calm comfort level of being on camera for this. 

I can't imagine she'd thrilled by the idea of his chasing down this woman who really doesn't give off the "I want to be a great stepmom" vibe via her photos or her "responses/communication" with Ricky (which are obviously pre-programmed as responses to all the men she is chatting with). 

So this is why I think MAYBE what a few others have suggested is true ... that there is a happy ending to all of this for him and I'll add that maybe, just maybe, these scenes before he goes were staged/filmed LATER, when she knew it would all come out okay in the end. Hard to imagine anyone being all in on this before knowing there's a happy ending. 

Also, I think Rachel and Jon (John?) are this season's Nicole/Azan but with prettier principals ... the story is SO similar, I can't help thinking the show decided, well, what if we make the two less patently ridiculous but with the same basic tenets and see if people notice it's pretty much the same story.

So, are the two couples we haven't seen yet the black guy who is new to this season who seems to get catfished as well, and lame Larry and lemonfaced Jenny?

It could be, but I can't imagine the producers would ever stage anything or show things out of order or edited out out of context!

My thought, though, is that (a) any 12 year old, however mature or well-adjusted, would still not be able to say "sure, Dad, thanks for giving me veto power over your life and this thing that you've just said will make you so happy ... indeed, I will exercise that veto and say you are having a midlife crisis, you're a gullible idiot, and, no, you can't go to another country to put a ring on your gif loop of a girlfriend."  (All the single video clips!  (all the single video clips!) put your hands up!)  

And also (b) any father who would say that to their 12 year old kid, self-congratulatorily thinking what a great parent they are, is both an idiot an a crappy parent.

Good one!

[poeticlicensed]

I am late to the party because I don't have cable and I had to wait to Prime to make the season pass available and boy was it worth the money. 

Rachel - that situation is crazy. A grown man who I met on the internet and takes an interest in my baby to the point where he is paying for daycare is super creepy. And getting into a fight isn't a crime, assaulting someone is. BTW, that baby is totally adorbs. 

Jesse and Darcy - I thought last season that their relationship is fake and they are just doing it for publicity and I still think that. I think both of them acting OTT is because they have figured out that the only way to sustain over multiple seasons on reality TV is to create as much drama as possible. I am calling BS on Jesse wanting a tour of NYC. Dude was in NYC for the tell all. He just wants to launch is modeling career and she is a Kardashian wanna be, i.e. famous for being famous. 

I would say that Paul is just a sad sack with his penis fish and  foot lockers, but then he says angry stuff about Karine and makes her take pregnancy tests and its just so weird. 

I for one cannot wait to see Angela in Nigeria. Holy crap that is going to be a trip. And if her Sext Nigerian ends up coming back to BFE, South Georgia, I hope he realizes that he's got a house full  of youngins and grandma on her sick bed in a doublewide waiting for him. 

Ricky is just delusional. He isn't even divorced and has a damn toddler and is flying off to south America. And Melissa looks like an anime blow up doll. I am really hoping it's a true catfish, because otherwise the dumbass won't learn. 

 I've got my popcorn and wine and I'm ready for next week.

I agree with this.  If Ricky wanted to date a Hispanic woman, a Latina, he could have found many in the USA.  Why did he have to look out of the country?  Because he didn't want an average looking woman, he wanted a hot porn star, blow up doll type woman. 

Looks are important, but a person shouldn't be blinded by someone's looks, especially when they have minor children.

I suppose if you're off to another country to meet the British Paul Bunyon, whatsherface (I'm not good with names until a few eps in) could be doing it under worse circumstances. At least there's a tv crew along for the ride. Sweet Lucy, what lovely baby, totally adorable. Has saving the umbilical cord and sending it in the mail become a thing? I don't get that at all.

Where was the creepy late 40's guy with his 20 year old girl down in Haiti this week? He wasn't on it was he? I'm getting hyooooge skeevy vibes from him. The girl is young enough to be your daughter.

I only started watching 90 Days with the whole Danielle fiasco so this is my first season watching from the get go. You all add heartily to the experience and I thank y'all.

I suppose if you're off to another country to meet the British Paul Bunyon, whatsherface (I'm not good with names until a few eps in) could be doing it under worse circumstances. At least there's a tv crew along for the ride. Sweet Lucy, what lovely baby, totally adorable. Has saving the umbilical cord and sending it in the mail become a thing? I don't get that at all.

Where was the creepy late 40's guy with his 20 year old girl down in Haiti this week? He wasn't on it was he? I'm getting hyooooge skeevy vibes from him. The girl is young enough to be your daughter.

I only started watching 90 Days with the whole Danielle fiasco so this is my first season watching from the get go. You all add heartily to the experience and I thank y'all.

I'm thinking the British guy is Mose from Shrute Farms. Mo did have a beard for awhile so I haven't lost my mind after all. And I agree it's best if she have a TV crew with her because he's less likely to explode. Especially because he spends his days at the gym making himself stronger... unlike the gentle Mose.

Abby in Haiti has a new boyfriend. She's broken up with both that guy and the illusive Dr. Chris. The boyfriend prefers to have his face pixellated but I think he's younger than the two geezers. He would have to be.

The Geezer Wars were among the finest moments in the show, IMHO.

So now she can share her scabies with yet another man.

Season 1 of Before the 90 Days. Sean vs. Chris showdown in Haiti. Chris was happy that Abby had found a man who would marry her and take her to the states, but noooo, Sean wanted her to choose. Also, Sean wanted to have some kind of big intellectual showdown with Chris, and it just didn't go very well because Chris was playing chess and Sean was playing checkers. Even though Sean putting it all out there. Abby couldn't choose because her heart was fickle. She was just young. What could he expect?

Ricky is headed into a similar situation this season. Not sure how old this woman is or if she really is a woman. If she looks anything like her photo, she's got other donors. Those boobs cost money!

Why would Abby give up one sugar daddy when she could have two?

Because Sean didn't want to share. My guess is that our pal Ricky is going to be in a similar situation. Provided she's not a GIF, this fantasy girl is going to have at least one Sugar Daddy on the side whom she's currently seeing. It will be a love triangle, or perhaps a love quad or trapezoid with the balloon boob girl being a 60-year-old man sitting in a room full of photos. 

The possibilities are endless for Ricky, but it doesn't look good for him. Maybe there will be another showdown with the other sugar daddies. Although Geezer Wars is not to be missed. See, Chris knew he was a hedonist and he treated Abby better than probably any of her other tricks. She had genuine feelings for him. Gary Shandling (a/k/a Chris) had some moves! 

Ricky doesn't have any game at all. Like Sean, all he has is his heart on his sleeve. He doesn't have a lot of money to offer her either. And, money is the currency here, not love.

So, is Scabby, I mean Abby, coming back to the show with the new boyfriend? Is his face pixelated because he is not part of the show but somehow Abby still is? Wonder if she ever got rid of the scabies or passed it on to the new guy as well.

No. She's not on the show at all anymore. So, I don't want to delve too deeply into them here, but there's some good stuff on the Season 1 Board. I do think that Ricky is headed into a similar situation as far as having to share is concerned. Ricky's your typical dupe because he's treating the foreign dating sites like a strip club, going for the hottest girl he can find as opposed to the one who really wants to be with him and to be a mother to his daughter.  

Chris seduced Abby because he actually got to know her as a person, ironically. A lot of these guys don't really care about that kind of stuff. Jorge didn't pay any attention when Anfisa opened up. 

Darcy and Jesse know each other a whole lot better than most of the couples.  However, when they got into the car together, and Darcy wanted to be complimented and doted on, and Jesse wanted to sightsee. Neither was concerned with pleasing the other so it became The Sullen Ride of Dashed Expectations. Their game is more complex.
