I can't for the life of me figure out why Pole (a name we might need to give to the new woman,  amirite?) "loves" Kreeeny. 

Because she knows the ways of a woman.

Karine knows the ways of a whiny petulant preteen, but Darcey's and Ricky's daughters all are more mature.

I've seen more smiles at funerals than at Paul and Karine's wedding.

I wonder where they found those ten wedding guests, according to Paul her "entire extended family." Maybe they are who Karine's family is staying with in Manaus (where the interrogation was filmed)? 

Did anyone else notice Paul's WHITE socks with his wedding suit?

Angela is intimidating and a really odd shape - round like an apple.  I agree a loose fitting Nigerian dress would be a bit more flattering and comfortable. The green card  is costing Michael more than anyone else in the history of the show.  Even Azan.  I think he'll stick around for the TLC salary but will look elsewhere for a ticket to Trumpland once this season ends.  Thing is - he seems like a decent guy.  

Angela stood out like a sore thumb walking around in that Nigerian village. (Yes, Angela, it's a VILLAGE! What did you think it was?) 

She's built like a linebacker in comparison and her posture isn't doing her any favors either. Her insistence on treating Michael like a servant makes her very off-putting, at least to me. She's boorish and rude! Again, she's realized on some level that Michael will do anything to get to America so she keeps raising the bar. (Oh, wow, I just realized that I said 'raising the bar' in a discussion about Angela.) She has power over him, and she obviously doesn't do well with power because she keeps berating him and giving him more hoops to jump through. "Delete your instagram." "Wipe my a$$."

On her village walk, she's wearing the skimpy clothing of an 18-year-old. Not a good look for her. How about a white linen shirt over a tank top, and some knee-length khaki shorts? Covered and cool and distracting from the fact that she has the anatomy of Big Bird.

Also, she needs a haircut. Lose those split ends. And do something about that hot root! (I imagine she dumps blond hair dye on herself at home and the ends keep getting blonder and blonder until they look white and fried and her long  locks are a study in segmented color.)

Also, yes, the Nigerian clothing was beautiful! I would love to have a Nigerian dress. She would have been very comfortable, and it would have been a flattering look for her. Angela is perpetuating the 'ugly American' stereotype by basically saying she refuses to adapt or change one thing about herself, not even while she's visiting in Nigeria. Her way is THE way, 'Murica, baybee! It would have been really nice if she could have put on a Nigerian dress out of deference to Michael's culture. If she loved him, she would want to know and respect how he lived.

What exactly does Ricky do for a living that he can afford to send two women money? 

That and provide child support to his ex's ?? (and maybe spousal support??)

Why are Darcy and Jesse staying in an Air-bnb and not at her home I wonder? 

Because Darcy says she lives with her sister Stacey. Which for someone who has catier bracelets and hermi handbags, expensive shoes, etc. I find it hard to believe.  Most likely explanation, she didn't want her actual house on TLC.

The stone in Rachel's ring is not only big, it's also set very high. I caught a glimpse from the side. She'd better be careful wearing that thing while handling Lucy. It's practically a weapon. 

Yes.  My ring is very similar to Rachel's (except mine is real LOL).  While it's a beautiful ring, it is not very practical since the diamond is set up so high.   I'm not much for jewelry, so I rarely wear mine.

I think Darcey and Stacey have the family plan on plastic surgery. Having seen photos of Darcey before she started botoxing and lip plumping, she is a totally different person. They must be going together so the doctor keeps them twins. She is an alcoholic. I can see it a mile away. Run, Jessee, run! They are a very toxic couple.

Karinne being the lazy one with Paul picking up after her ... dude, you’re going to be doing that the rest of your life. If you stay married to her after finding out she’s pregnant with someone else’s kid.

Why would Tarik subjecting Hazel to his brother again? They will never be friends. And the way Hazel keeps pushing Tarik aside tells me she is just looking for a ticket to America. At any cost.

Jon and Rachel might just make it. But as someone else suggested, she should go out with him to a pub and see what happens before taking that cubic zirconia ring to the altar.

Ricky.... Ricky... Ricky.... you’re not so fine.

Don't forget Darcey "ROONS everything."

No way is the steak on Jesse’s plate the gray one we saw Darcey hacking away on. She offered him gravy and he said he didn’t want to talk to her and was just there for the girls. He also refused her offer to serve him some Roni, but he already had it on his plate.

Many years ago, Mr. AZC and I dealt with the "two people in the kitchen at the same time" issue.  I'd start cooking dinner.  He'd come into the kitchen and start stirring stuff, etc., etc., etc.  I told him that I didn't want him to do that.  Calmly.  He continued.  At that point, I started walking out of the kitchen as soon as he would come in and start to do it again.  No screaming, no arguing.  He would continue cooking until the meal was ready to serve. 

Now that we're retired, he does all the cooking and I clean up the kitchen and load the dishwasher.  Without drama.  It's what adults do.

I have the same but in reverse, I cook and he cleans up...sometimes I have to rewash something and I never mention it, I appreciate the help in the kitchen no matter what, my first husband never lifted a finger.  Darcy does not see that her glass could be half full, Jesse was actually doing something to help but she made it impossible for him to help.

Angela in those shorts and ill-fitting top, walking through town. The looks on the people’s faces told me they thought the circus had come to town.

It was not a good look.  Angela thought they were starring when she in just riding in a car, now they got the whole picture!

OMG will he just stop it with the double standards. No wonder he's been divorced twice, he will be divorced again. And again and again and again.

"I want to be sure she's with me for the right seasons" says the guy who was courting and financing two women at once and preferred the one with the rock-hard bolt-ons, and whose appearance he gushed on non-stop, while being significantly cooler about Ximena's.

"I wasn't completely honest" he demures, when he was not honest one bit. "I wasn't completely honest" is probably something he has a lot of practice saying.

"I called you 'Melissa' because that's the name of a producer" like Ximena isn't going to find out.

"My moral code is to be honest" he lies. Perhaps he means other people being honest with him while he lies to them.

"I'm still talking to my ex-wife" he blurts out, because it's impossible for this loser to tell a truth, this time about Miss Marriage Material being only a Plan B.

"I trust him completely" says the woman he lies to about everything.

I'm loving this!  Esp. the shrek additions.

This was somewhat of a boring episode, c'mon TLC, I live for the shit storm on Sunday nights.  Darcy & Jesse - ugh they both are so annoying, she never shuts up and talks over him, and he is gaslighting her.  Tarik & Hazel, yup. she is still banging her ex.  Ricky is a moron, who is so hard up for someone to love him. Oh, and its "truth", not truffe.  Big Ang just needs to go back to Georgia, find some dude who doesn't mind you smelling like an ashtray and will wipe your ass down the road. Rachel & Jon, I get the vibe that Rachel will wind up moving to England just to be with Jon and have the ex raise Ella, she just seems that she is the type of person who will chose a man over her kids, I pray I am wrong however.  Karine is coming across as a little bitch, lazy as anything and a whiner.  I see she was channeling her inner Darcey with those painted on eyebrows at her wedding

I know Ricky has his elder daughter full time so he might be getting child support for her. The divorce is still on going so I am not sure about the money towards his wife & 2nd daughter. I’m single and childFree- I am responsible with my money but I enjoy nice vacations and pedicures, I don’t have $3000 extra dollars to send to a stranger. How much does he take home each month?!!

I just don't get Jesse and Darcey. Is the sex that great? Does she interrupt his moans? Does he tell her to work on herself mid coitus? Why am I even thinking these thoughts???

I find it hard to believe they even have a decent sex life. They can’t agree on anything! I feel like 90% of their sex life involves bickering and the other 10% actual sex.

No way did Noxema get a nose job due to an accident. 

hahahahahahaha Noxema,  this is why I come here! That and to find out you can buy red bottom sole Loooobitton shoe dye on Amazon!

I find Jesse's slow burn stare TERRIFYING. He is a controlling psychopath, she's a  drama queen for sure but not as dangerous as he is. GET OUT Darcey go work at Mohegan Sun or Foxwoods and hook a high roller who wants you on his arm and will buy you the shiny things you like in exchange. 

I CANNOT with Grangela with the cell phone tucked into her BOOB! I mean she is sweating all day long on that poor fucker (I mean the phone not Michael) then she holds it to her face?

I found the proposal site beautiful for  Rachel and "Chun" (her voice drives me crazy) it's either just her lips moving or vocal fry or both she sounds asleep. That baby is so cute. 

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I think Hazel is very pretty. She looks like the before picture when they take a supermodel and take the makeup off and call her a "before". I find myself rooting for her American dream to escape poverty and get her child back. I seriously think if she can salvage that hairline she could have a future in modeling here. She is tiny and pretty, modest and graceful, very vulnerable. I am sorry she has Tariq in that damn mesh t shirt to hook her start towards, but it could be worse.  I think she has "something" and grit, for sure.  TLC might make money banking on just her! 

Wonder if Karine's MO is to get married long enough to claim she got prego then divorce and pretend it's Paul's. Interesting.

Frozendiva was nervous as Jon and rachel and little Lucy stood on the cliff. My 6 yr old grandson said; If that guy whips around that baby will projectile out into the water. I was surprised...I didnt think he knew a big word like projectile...

Sleeping all the time, if not from drugs; thick waist gaining, weeping...Kareens a mommy. Now the question, is Pole the daddy? If he is to dumb to count to nine, his mommy isnt.

If Tarik can rescue that sad little girl from the cult and deadly poverty, bless him, and I hope she'll be happy. and lets give Angela his bro's phone #. two birds with one rock.

Jesse, there are many american girls who think youre cute who are not going thru the change of life or whatever is darcys problem, and who have manners. My sister had 5 kids and married a 22 yrs younger cute guy, but she looked like liz Taylor, sang in the choir, cooked from scratch and was easy-going and funny. Its been 32 years, still happy. You dont just settle for the first answer to your ad. You're in love with the USA, not her. Enroll in a college out East and get a student visa. By the time your first semester is over, you'll have a new fiance and a real chance at a normal happy life. I wouldve thrown the shoes away...yuchh.

The rest; dont care.

Ok, I can't be the only one who noticed this....when Karine was in bed with the blue blanket over her face, Paul had what appeared to be a haircut.  The back of his head was shaved.  But when he's marrying Karine at the ceremony, he has his regular scruffy head of hair.  What's going on?!

Yes I totally noticed that..... ...and the shot of him trying to wake her up was the day before the wedding.   My hair grows fast,  but not in less than 24 hours

I totally think Lucy looked like Maggie Simpson in that snow suit.

I thought it was really crass and creepy for Dean, who knows Hazel and Tarik aren't having sex, to say "I hope you're enough woman for him in the bedroom this weekend" or however he put it.  That might be enough to coerce Hazel to immediately do the sex with Tarik, she's terrified that Tarik won't "choose" her to go to America based on what Dean says.

So Ricky flies to Colombia with the intention of asking Melissa to marry him, but then Noxema becomes his love interest and then he needs to "vet" her to make sure she's not just in it for the money? Was Melissa going to get vetted? I didn't hear that mentioned. 

Kinda seems like Ricky is starting to back out. Maybe he wasn't looking for a wife after all. Maybe he really just wanted a sexcation.

I like Ximena's outfit choices.   The bright florals lend her a positive, fun vibe, a quality sorely lacking in all other aspects of this show.

She does dress well, but I didn't like her horizontal stripes. But I don't like horizontal stripes on any woman, I don't think they are flattering except on super thin chicks.

Getting back to Angela, my stomach turned at the juxtaposition of the impoverished Nigerian landscape, then cutting to She-Whose-Butt-Must-Be-Wiped dipping her cankles into a sparkling blue pool.

I didn't like this episode very much.

Angela has realized just how desperate Michael is to come to the U.S.A., and it's maddening to watch her exploit this!

Again, she doesn't handle power very well. It goes straight to her fried blonde head.

I could see her being a cashier at KFC, but never a manager. Not with the way she lords things over people. 

Not even an assistant manager.

I do not believe a word of Darcey's account. If your feet are cold on hard wood floors, you put slippers on. You do not, ever, put your feet ON TOP of someone else's shoes to "warm them up" because no one in their right mind would expect that to do anything at all. I also don't believe "I threw it at the floor where you were standing" because that makes no sense either. If you want to throw your shoes at someone in anger, you don't aim at the floor.

 

Darcey's version of events calls for the wise words of Marcia Brady.

I keep comparing Ricky's friends and Michael's friends together. How funny it is they all are thinking their respective friends are bat-sh*t crazy for going through this farce for love or a green card or whatever it is they're hoping to attain. I suspect humiliations galore was not on their radars when they set out on their journey's.

I was watching the first episode and the difference in Michael’s demeanor is startling. When he meets her at the airport he’s happy and relaxed, looking forward to the visit, last nights episode, he’s sweaty, nervous and fearful of angering her and  drawing the attention  of bystanders when she starts yelling and carrying on.

I agree. It’s actually quite sad. He tries to keep the peace with her, but she is always finding something wrong with his actions. I still think Angela was dead wrong for slapping him in the market.
