Darcey please please please make Jesse a wonderful chocolate pie using Minnie's recipe and offer him 2 slices !

Ah, thank you for this excellent movie reference. I could see Darcey hissing and spitting while she gathered the "special ingredient" . Then after he ate his two slices, she would curl up in a ball, sobbing and begging him not to leave.

I wonder if Target and Hazel even know about each other's kids at this point in the story?  I thought they were saying he had only talked with her for like 2 weeks (?) before journeying to meet his soul mate.

I've been wondering this myself. I would not be in the least surprised if neither knows about the existence of the other's child.

Yes, very.

Her reasoning for wanting a baby is beyond stupid,"Put a baby in me now Pole so I will know you will honor your commitment"...yeah, men never knock up some girl then split.  If Pole can't afford to move out of Mama's house how can he afford a wife or a kid?  Karine is a child herself, face in her phone 24/7, eye rolls, sleeps till noon, does not lift a finger around the house, it's another case of full on love when you have never experienced the day to day stuff.

I am impressed that Pole has learned a little of her language, a language that the baby will learn.

Karine does not want a baby. She's already knocked up, so she has to convince Pole to marry, quickly, and "get pregnant". Her window to be able to trick him into believing the baby is his is shrinking, quickly.

I find it interesting that Paul hugs Kreeny so awkwardly and then clap, clap, claps her on the back the way one would pet a horse. 

Omg, yes! This irks me so much. When you're holding somebody close you don't usually do the tap tap thing unless you're trying to burp them or get them to let go. What is that about?

Friggin Jesse "God's own personal asshat to man" is one of the most annoying and self righteous blowhards I've ever seen on my tee-vee or life! His words are SO important he simply cannot be interrupted. He must speak and be heard or the world will fall off its axis. I'd rather be alone for the rest of my life than with somebody like that.

Fun week!

Tarik and Hazel:  She is so not into you, guy.  I'm not saying that a King Tut shirt isn't super styling (yes I am), but maybe take off the plaid Charlie Brown hat every now and again.  She's kind of puzzling.  She had a child young, out of wedlock, with religiously zealot parents.  It really doesn't make too much sense.  Maybe she's playing up this angle to scare him away?  She kept asking if they were SURE that they didn't have an issue with his lack of religious beliefs.

Jesse and Darcy:  What a bunch of children.  There is seriously no hope for these two.  Jesse acts like he REALLY dislikes everything about Darcy - her voice, her cultural levels.  Her relationship with her twin suuuuuucks, Stacy obviously wants a piece of obnoxious Dutch apple pie.  I take umbrage at him sneering at folding of the pizza  You're in NYC, dick.  That's how eat pizza there, captain etiquette.  Ass.

Grangela and Michael.  Good God.  I agree, it's a cultural thing about calling her fat, God knows that there is definitely less of a stigma against calling someone fat in other countries.  Nothing can hide the level of disappointment he exhibits every time that he looks at her.  He almost visibly shudders at her touch, it's uncomfortable to watch.  She's going to give him his (snicker) engagement ring, leave and never hear from him again.  Too bad he had to prostitute himself for a 200 dollar pawned ring and some wack-ass Trump regalia.  She needs to do something with that hair, she looked like Dog the goddamned bounty hunter.

Pol and Kriny (or Cringey, as I call her in my head): What's with the stuffed animals, man?  It looked like a 4 year old was living with them.  Kriniy is old enough to wash dishes and do laundry, and although we know how it's going to end, a baby is certainly not a good idea.   She'll treat him or her like a stuffed animal that's entertaining for exactly 3 seconds.  Pol's mom is right.  Who'da thunk that I'd agree with that crazy, hair-snipping dame?

Ricky is sad.  Luckily he's meeting up with his back-up Colombiana.  It would be a terrible thing to waste a trip to Colombia and a perfectly good engagement ring.  I hope he stopped whatever automated payments he's been making to Melissa.  I can't help but kind of like him, even though he is clueless, shallow, and not super bright.

Am I the only one who thinks that the "fat" thing is only part of why Angela didn't want to try on a dress and it had more to do with her simply not liking them? I mean, her aesthetic is FOR SURE not my aesthetic, but she seems to be pretty sure of her own style, for better or for worse. I also hate when people try to tell women what they need to wear. 

I'm also fat, and I will say it took me a lot of years to realize that looser clothing often makes you look bigger. Now, Angela of course takes the form-fitting to an extreme, but perhaps she thinks a big dress with bold fabric is too much of an extreme in the other direction. I also have to say if I were the only white woman for miles, I would be HELLA intimidated/embarrassed to try on local dress in that situation, even if I really liked the stuff.

I can't believe I'm actually defending someone on this show.

There are some heavy/overweight/fat women who are somewhat OK w/ their size bc they are busty and believe they will still have sex appeal if they flaunt "the girls" and generally dress in a rique, provocative manner. Angela is one of those women. But if she is forced to put on something she sees as conservative and covered up, then she instantly goes from "hot, busty, biker chic" to "old fat woman." And all of her appeal is gone (in her mind). And she's an apple shape! That's the most difficult of all women's shapes to dress so I can see why she is experiencing anxiety at the thought of trying a look she's totally unfamiliar with.

Three observations:

* Clearly Stacey and Darcey got a special from their doc on the lip and facial fillers, and I suspect they've both had facelifts, too. They probably pressure each other into getting these things done so they'll deal with their insecurities and look the same (rather than one look younger than the other after procedures). 
 

IDK. Darcey clearly has that botox and lip fillers look. But Stacey doesn't to me, at least not so obviously. And while they might both be wearing veneers on their teeth, Darcey's look obviously false and Stacey's teeth look natural. They do not in any way look identical now. Darcey looks a crazy, plastic mess to me. There's no way they could have been going to the same doctors. They are like night and day. IMO.

Rickey- Not only does he wear camo, he wears clashing camo as an all over outfit.  I'm thinking this whole trip wasn't about meeting Melissa, he just wanted time away from his children and responsiblities and failures of everyday life to have a boinkfest.  I love that he's all" I want to be a gentleman and not pressure her....." cause he just totally planned this trip without her input and showed up and demanded she meet with him and drop everything to hang out with him.  It seems like tricky rickey has another lady in line .  Shopping for stepmoms in columbia.

 

 

He's really the biggest d-bag of the entire series imo. But no one is seeing it. This kind of mentality on the part of some men, that women are this interchageable and the commitment of marriage is offered so lightly is really disturbing to me.

Where is Ricky the fool going in that goofy ass fanny pack and doo rag?  And mismatched camo!?!  Were the fuck they do that at?

Paul is beyond weird and creepy, and doesn’t even realize the game Karine is running. Dude, she is slipping into her second trimester.  What a sucka!

Jon the gnome is a douche.  Granted, Rachel is a bit schlumpy, but he’s no David Beckham.  What a shallow little shit he is.  I’d leave him right there in his mum’s hous with his miserable, but trying to be helpful, sister down the road.  Her kids were adorable though and looked like they enjoyed visiting with Lucy.  I love Lucy!

Kudos to Angela for learning few phrases.  

Tariq... poor Tariq.  He must  buy his clothes at the Vietnamese hair store where he gets Ari’s Shea Moisture products.  Between the kill da wabbit hat and the King Tut tank, he’s hopeless.  He also bears a striking resemblance to Cooler from the Pound Puppies.

Ricky's my least favorite guy on the show, too. His trip didn't seem coordinated with Melissa at all, he just decided to show up in her country and demand her time. Not sure about anyone else, but I have a busy life, especially during the week. I wouldn't be able to drop everything for someone who just randomly appears on my doorstep. I'd also be pissed if they were pissed. Ricky's an entitled jerk.

Kareeeny has lost the fresh young look of last season. Her face is puffy, her hair matted  and she's lazy and sleepy. If she's not pregnant, then what is wrong?  She's only 21 and apparently aging fast.

I’ll give the sister a pass on this one.  I thought Jon was talking to his nephew who said Rachel was pretty, and the sister jokingly said “What about me?” to her son.  The boys looked playful, rascally and rambunctious, just as kids should be.

I'm with you on this one. It was fine the first three times Michael tried to get Angela to try on a dress. Then it got really annoying. She didn't want to do it for whatever reason and he should have dropped it, at least for that excursion. I think he wants her more covered up. I guess he tried plan B with the matching outfits suggestion, but she wasn't buying it at all and he kept going on about it.

I just looked up the exchange rate 1,000 Nigerian Naira is equivalent to $2.78US.  I don't know the price of a dress but she will probably spend much more money on imported cigarettes (since we KNOW she isn't stopping at one pack) than on a dress.  She simply does not want to cover up that much.

Re: Ricky and speculation about Ms. Back-Up-Columbia - I have a different theory. To me it appeared that the person he meets up with is toting luggage, I think he is even greeting her at the base of the stairs of the apartment he is staying in. So I think he gives up on chasing Melissa and invites either a friend to join him on the rest of his trip, or possibly even his daughter (actually I think this is more likely than a friend).

OK, I need to step in for a sec and mount a defense.  A defense of the fanny pack.  They are obviously no longer fashionable, but they are handy as hell.  Women know the benefits of mobile storage, like a purse, and this is the same thing, just safer for travelling.  It's easy for a thief or pickpocket to snatch a backpack or purse.  Much more difficult to infiltrate a fanny pack.  My dad actually uses one on his international vacations.  He also puts his wallet in his front pocket and uses a safety pin to close it (a tip given to him by another frequent traveler).  He has never had anything stolen despite time spent in numerous crowded marketplaces and such.  It also prevents boob sweaty money, like Angela hauled out.

Hate the player, hate the game, accept the fanny pack.

No, never, ever, ever. The acceptable alternative is the Man Bag - a crossbody messenger or camera bag style.  Safe from pickpockets and not hideous.  Plus, Ricky has a gut. Surely that gets uncomfortable when he sits?
