Season 6 Discussion

[Adeejay]

Kalani’s family is starting to remind me of Chantel's.  I felt sorry for Asuelu; he seemed on the verge of tears. I am sure this wasn’t the welcome he expected.  

Ashley is in for a world of hurt with Jay.  I don't believe he is ready to be anyone's husband.  

If Leida is as wealthy as she claims, then why weren’t they staying at a hotel in Midtown Manhattan instead of Nowhere, Pennsylvania?

Ken Bewbies & Barbie Bewbies: Fernanda, never mind the thong. There's no moldy vaginal discharge on them, right? After 3 years? Maybe it's because Jonathan is the one wearing them. He likes the feel of lace synthetic silk on his skin. No shame in that. Rather than worrying about his hordes of old girlfriends, I'd keep an eye out on his male friend who admits he finds Jonathan attractive to his own girlfriend, then looks at him longingly and stabs you in public by droning on about Mexicans being criminals... drug dealers and rapists, anyone? It was sad to see Fernanda break down in next week's preview when Jonathan's mean and jealous female friend cruelly told her that he didn't want to get married.

Cheater Chaser and Heavy Sack Jay: It's hard to care about these two, she's hunting for potential cheaters while unconvincingly pretending that she doesn't like being cheated on. The most sincere thing she said was complaining about him being 20 yrs old and feeling the "pressure" to keep him satisfied... if she fails to satisfy him it will give him a license to cheat... all her chess pieces are already laid out on the board for his future infidelity, and her enjoyment of the ensuing drama.

Steve-O and Matryoshka Doll (right? crack her open and there's a smaller doll inside): "He's just a mess" sighs his hippie grandmother, who should worry more about him obtaining gainful employment than his ability to take care of an infant. How can he afford a K1? A trip to Russia, 8 hours away from Moscow? Did he even graduate high school? Can he turn skating, loitering and spray painting graffiti into a lucrative career? PSA: The idea of sex education may make some people uncomfortable, bicker about the content, and the age at which it's taught... but hearing this moron go on TV and say "IT ONLY TAKES ONE TIME" and "NOT USING PROTECTION" without being a bit self-conscious about his irresponsible behavior is the whole reason why we teach it to kids as young as possible... in the hopes that it sticks. Someone is enabling him big time, rewarding his foolishness with a girl, a baby, a trip, and a visa application.

More to come... saving the best couples for last.

Leida, why is your sister with you?

Leida's sister is my favorite person.  She knows her sister won't do well and she is right.

Since when is the "great American breakfast" a burrito?  Yuck!  When I think of a welcome breakfast I think of eggs, bacon, toast, different kinds of jams/jellies, pancakes or waffles, hot and cold cereals with fruit, fruit, different beverages,  a nice spread from savory to sweet.

They are staying in Nowhere because that’s all Doofus can afford.

Eric, meet Karma. Her name is Reina and she is a bitch!

She was even talking shit  about her own sister and her terrible temper. These 90 day producers need to get Reina to do all the reunion shows. Damn, not only dies she speak plain, but she just jumps in with the direct questions. Also love a girl who puts on her bright red lips to go down to breakfast in that cheap ass cabin. I cant wait to watch her rake Eric over the coals for the next few episodes. No tool on TV deserves it more than Erik. Ugh. I’ve gone from hate watching him to full on rage watching him. 

And that’s all I got. These people are exhausting. ?

Vegas Polyamory: The editing on this show is delicious. A slot machine in the dining area and what looked like a broken printer on the kitchen counter! I love you editors. ❤️

How will Larissa wedge herself into the real couple here, which is Colt and his toothless mother Debbie? She is an interloper that Debbie is grudgingly tolerating, only because she realizes she cannot satisfy all of Colt's needs. Where will the Brazilian invader sit at Colt & Debbie's long time conjugal table, where Debbie serves outstanding, compliment-worthy fare like baked potatoes and plain steak? The mother/son lovers immediately start to plot ways to exclude her. After Cat Cosplay Puppeteer Colt declares that Brazilian couples sit next to each other at the table, Debbie "jokes" about how "funny" it would be if she and Colt sat next to each other instead, in the tradition of Brazilian couples. Well that sure isn't incestuous at all! "We're adding a new dynamic to OUR situation!" And what an interesting situation they have. Debbie demures, "I'll miss being involved in your stuff" as if she intends to ever stay out of his "stuff." She continues: "I'm SUPPOSED to get my own life" no shit Sherlock, and when she uses the word "supposed" she makes it quite clear that she has no intention of ever getting her own life. "My mother and I have had a thing going for many years" explains Colt. Alright, Colt, we get it.

Not surprisingly, Colt reckons that his main squeeze Debbie was thought of as a burden by some previous secondary love interests and there is no doubt that Debbie didn't do anything to dispel them of that notion.

"I find him handsome" coos Larissa about the flabby, jiggly, homely slob she plans to marry. So right away we know she's faking it

He awaits her at McCarran airport wearing his best brown and ox blood checkered shirt and poorly fitted pants, empty-handed.

Where is my flowers? No flowers. Will you buy me flowers? No. Here are some flowers you can buy. I'm not spending a whole $20 on flowers after I paid so much for airport parking.

Come on Colt, be welcoming and make her feel special! I wonder how much he would have spent on red roses if Debbie was the one landing.

When they are riding in Colt's old beater (the one he shares with his beloved Debbie), without air conditioning, in Las Vegas, Colt starts to show his ugly side and underlying anger... and maybe a tinge of misogyny?  I'm just guessing about that last one.

Larissa mentions that it's hotter in Vegas than in Brazil, and especially inside the tin can he's driving, very politely I will add. The way he told her they were in a desert, I heard something like: "yeah we're in a fucking desert bitch." He was angry but the cameras were rolling. "Roll down the fucking window dumbass and STFU" Those weren't his actual words, but it was his tone.

"It's private! It's the middle of the street!" he scolded her, gritting his teeth. No wonder only his mom loves him (she really does).

"Yesterday [Larissa] wasn't in my life , now she is" he tells the camera crew while sending mixed signals as to whether that's 100% a good thing. "Larissa seems unhappy about everything" - but frankly there isn't all that much for her to be happy about. First, there's Colt himself, the old-beater/pressure-cooker he's driving, his dull witted, jealous, incestuous mother, and Vegas is a nightmare (that is true). She wants to live in another town, another house... and no mother. I cannot blame her one bit. I hope she takes consolation in the awesome cats, if Colt lets her touch them (he may be peculiar about other people trying to develop relationships with his cats).

Debbie wastes no time trash-talking Larissa and calling her mean and selfish. "Unless she changes there is no future for either one of them here" she weeps. I have no pity for her.

Colt and Larissa are as poorly matched as Debbie's sharpie eyebrows. This marriage will be short, miserable, and Debbie will prevail on her son/lover.

Exactly. Because red roses = romantic love.

When she saw the big dent in his hood, she should have run back into the terminal and flown home. I would have.

From what her sister said, Leida is a bitch on wheels when she doesn’t get what she wants. Her family is probably sick of her, and      let her go to the US with this guy and let him deal with her shit, once she gets a taste of life with an old man and little money, she might come home with a new attitude.

[endure]

 Oh boy I can’t even imagine a happily ever after for Colt with anyone except  Debbie.  So far he has disappointed his Brazilian fiance at every turn and it doesn’t look like she will be wrapping him around her little finger any time soon.  Even if she chose to go back to Brazil it’s not likely he would buy her a ticket.

I was pretty mad at Kalani at the airport. Don't be a bitch. Don't look so embarrassed. It's LAX. You're 30. This is your future husband. He's doing his thing. Chill the fuck out. I'm with the lady who said she would take Aselu if Kailani didn't want him. 

 

Leida yelling at Eric at the airport about her bags was cringe worthy. "Do it proper!" She sounded like she was talking to a servant...and not very nicely. He would be a better match with her sister, Raina. They seemed to have a more compatible temperament. Ledia is in for a BIG surprise when they get to Wisconsin. 

 

Larissa picked the wrong horse. This should be entertaining. I wonder how they got him to repeat the line from "Psycho" about a boy's mom being his best friend?

 

If looks could kill, Jon would have died a thousand deaths from Fernanda's looks. Her copying the accents of his friends killed me in a different way. The hilarious way.

[Toaster Strudel]

Asuelu (I don't have the heart to give him a nickname) is shaping up to be a tragic figure.

This is a 23 yr old man from a tropical island with a gentle climate, a house that needs no walls, near a beautiful beach, and accustomed to a routine of gathering firewood, cleaning up coconuts, feeding pigs, and I guess working at the resort where he met and wooed 30 yr old Stale Virgin Kalani and knocked her up (see my earlier rant about sex education). He is young, simple, with a carefree, upbeat demeanor. There is something very likeable and touching about him.

The moment he greets Kalani at the airport, with his joyous Samoan slap dance and song, their worlds clash as, rather than being appreciative, she winces in embarrassment. He says in the talking head "I feel so happiness - I wanted to make her feel proud of me" while she looks on with a condescending expression on her face. Kalani's attitude was not lost on one of the women watching Asuelu's greeting: "If things don't work out with her, call me!" - even passers-by can see from a distance that this isn't going to work out.

Driving the point home of how far apart their worlds are, he wants to carry on in the airport and in the car bare-footed. He finds the streets too wide (it's true!) and is frightened of fast driving.

However, meeting his son, he is right at home, holding him, smiling, playing with him. This man has a good and kind heart.

But he is up against insurmountable odds.

• Kalani: "I'm going to have to teach him how to act in the USA"
• Kalani's father: "Rule number one, disrespect my daughter and you will have issues."
• Kalani: "I've been without support, he's going to have to contribute"
• Kalani's mother expects him to fulfill the role of father and provider... in America.
• Kalani's sister has been told he's a cheater.

They have laid down the rules and expectations of upper middle class American life that he will be required to fulfill quickly, or else.

How on Earth will he even be able to even come close? The world he left behind is irreconcilably different.

"Kalani's family don't like me" he says softly, breaking my heart.

[EarlGreyTea]

Larissa has terrible taste - Colt looked ten times better with facial hair. No way is he ready to be married with that albatross called Mom around his neck. My own mother told me that the marriage vow "forsake all others" doesn't just mean forsaking other lovers. It means forsaking everyone else, including family, for your new spouse.

Ashley and Jay seemed to be shading previous 90 Day couples, snarking about how some people get with unattractive people just to get their visas. I do like that they're evenly matched in terms of looks. The couples with a huge disparity in looks (Azan and Nicole) are often uncomfortable to watch.

Blond guy with the Russian girl is a mess, but there was still something touching about wanting to be the father he never had. It remains to be seen if that will actually come to fruition, but his heart seems to be in the right place for now.

Kalani is a wet blanket and her family is totally insufferable (except her mom. She can stay). As a minority, there's nothing I dislike more than minorities' disdain for their own kind. It's early in the season, but Asuelu is kind of endearing in a bumbling kind of way. I liked how he felt like a Prime Minister in that AirBnB. They seem like a retread of Family Chantel - nice enough guy, but a poisonous and obnoxious extended family. Of course, Asuelu may prove to be a jerk, but so far, he's the most genuinely likeable person this show has seen in a good long while.

I liked how genuinely touched Fernanda was at Jonathan's friends' welcome. Then they had to ruin it by bringing up the ex. WTF? God, every single family member and friend on this show needs to take a flying leap.

Fifth Runner Up & Isis Or Love?: urgh, I hate them both.

Leida's game plan appears to be to practice medicine in America but she has been teaching in Indonesia instead of practicing medicine after graduating (one wonders why) so I suspect the road to making a doctor's income is a very long one for her, and perhaps the biggest hurdle is that she doesn't have the personality for it. TLC mentioned on twitter that she can legally practice in Canada and the UK, so I can pretty much guarantee that she's lying about her credentials anyway, so I take her claims of "accomplishments" with a grain of salt.

They are rude, they didn't wait for Reina at the car, just walked away together, didn't help her as she lagged behind.

If these two nimrods can't pack luggage into a car without having a psychotic episode, imagine the nuclear meltdown if they're ever required to figure out how to cut steak and keep the juices in.

Leida was expecting to spend some exciting time in New York gazing upon Trump Tower but her pauper K1 sponsor is driving her to nondescript boon docks in Pennsylvania for discount accommodations with only 2 bedrooms and no staff attending their every whim. She says words to the effect of it being "okay" while making it abundantly clear through her tone and facial expressions that it's absolutely not okay.

Disappointment continues the next day as Eric neglects to serve her chicken porridge and proudly cooks instead some decidedly un-Indonesian breakfast burritos.

More disappointment follows as he nixes the possibility of getting a maid, and puts paid to any possibility that she might convince him with a little cooing and pouting.

Reina questions Leida at the table, in a way that suggests that Leida isn't known to be keen on taking care of her own son, so who will? "Me?" Leida asks, rather than answers, then announces that Eric will be helping! Sure. Good luck with that.

Next, Reina wonders aloud: "Leida is easy to get irritated and she becomes a really awful person, and she's annoying basically, I don't know if Eric knows that."

It appears that he knows, sort of. Eric scolds Leida: "You're picking fights with me because you're bored and other people are in your head" as he rudely cocks his head in her sister's direction to indicate that he thinks Leida's misbehavior all her sister's fault. "She can pack sand" he bitches, nastily.

Eric makes empty promises of providing for Leida and her son. This is a guy who needs his 19 yr daughter as a roommate so that half his rent and utilities are paid for, in order for him to be able to pay child support for her siblings.

Eric is cheap, domineering, and she's a psycho.

They're both despicable and for this reason I want their marriage to last forever. They're going to regret not picking that relatively sweet "fight ISIS" option.

That sign is really lame. That's what he decided he should show her?

[millennium]

Leida has OCD at best, maybe something more serious.   Her repetitive "Do it proper!  Do it proper!" was compulsory, not bitchiness.   This, I suspect, is why Reina came along for the ride.   She and the family are well aware something's not right with kid sister -- described in euphemisms like "she's annoying" -- and they want to make sure Eric can handle her once they remand her to his care.

Speaking of Eric, if he's 40, then Skateboard Guy's grandparents must be what, 50?

Did anyone tell the Fresh Prince of Montego Bay to drink up while he can because the legal age in America is 21?   Really don't like that guy, but  I tend to have a problem with any one, man or woman, who feels compelled to repeatedly tell the world how beautiful they are.

Asuelo dancing in the airport felt like the beginning of an 1970s Disney comedy.   I'm waiting for Wally Cox to show up as the wily Immigration Officer.

Speaking of movie premises, Larissa reminds me of Janet Leigh in Psycho.  She thinks she's weaseled her way into marriage and security, but through a cruel twist of fate has landed in the clutches of Colt Bates and his mother Debbie.  

Oh shit-ee!

Colt is a Dolt, Larissa is a thirsty basic bitch. She clearly failed Golddigger Academy.

 

Eric is a loser but like Dolt, he doesn’t give in. At. All. Leida has some sort of issues, OCD sure, but she seems like a toxic combo of what I like to call belligerent. A mix of bilgerence and ignorance. She has no idea what she’s getting into but she’s ready to sign on the dotted line? Also, in Indonesian culture it is extremely forbidden to engage in premarital sex. She has a kid, was she married before? If not, she’s got an illegitimate child, a tattoo, she seems to not work, and she is an entitled, demanding asshole, and we’ve only just met her. Something ain’t right. I think she has shamed her family and they just want to move her offshore, but if they could, they would keep her kid.

 

I feel bad for Fernanda. She should go home and have a nice life. Douchebro might be handsome to her, but he isn’t ready for a committed relationship.

 

Poor Asuelo. I personally think he’s gay and trying to make an acceptable t his family life for himself. But yeah, the gaydar was pinging off the hook with him. And Kalani was  a fucking bitch at LAX. If he embarrasses you with his culture then perhaps you ought not to have brought him home like a stray puppy because girrrrrl, you ain’t all that.

 

The Dickmeister of Montego is getting stale already. He thinks a cheap hotel room with a rose petal heart illustrates his “heavy sack”. What a douchenozzle.

 

No words for pale, unemployed loser who impregnated Russian girl. She should never have told him she was knocked up because I suspect being tied to him forever will become her biggest regret.  I did sort of dig his granny’s Dead-style tie dyed t-shirt.

According to my closed captions, he said to Ashley, "I'll be giving you the 'D' every night."

Do you think he means "Devotion?"

[endure]

Samwa, samwa? I kept hearing that said in regard to Asuelo by Kalani & her Mum finally realizing it was Samoa lol.  I couldn’t imagine leaving there to move to the States and cannot see him being happy in the US.  I wonder if they are even in love or just the parents of the baby?

[MagicCat]

Blonde skateboarding baby-daddy reminds me of Jason from the good place without the good-heartedness.  He said he wanted to name the baby after his father and I was slightly surprised that he said "Ritchie" instead of "Donkey Doug".

Larissa's voice would make me nuts after about two seconds.  It's the level of whining that my daughter used to employ when she was five.  My daughter used to do dumb shit like whine at the store when she didn't get stupid trinkets, too.  I really thought most people grew out of that by the time they were eight or so.

I'm still watching since I couldn't finish it last night, but two quick thoughts...

Colt:  Men who call their moms "mother" are creepy.

Leida:  Do you have any idea how insanely hard it is for a foreign trained doctor to practice in the US?  And we're talking people who were specialized surgeons in their countries, not faded beauty queens who dabbled in medicine without ever practicing.

I see a horrible future for these two...the saddest question from Reina was asking who would take care of Alless.  The fights will be about how lazy Leida is and how little money Eric will spend on her and how Leida wants the daughter to move out but Eric will defend her because she pays half the rent and we know how important that is to Eric.

Colt will never be more animated so I have to stop waiting for that to happen, he will be the blandest person in Vegas.  I predict that Larissa will yearn to see the strip all lit up and go for cocktails and dinner on a Saturday night and Colt will not understand why.  He will probably think taking Larissa to a Denny's on the strip is a good compramise but Mother will be going with them because they can use her AARP discount.  Also, who would buy a car withouth AC in Las Vegas?  Is that the car he shares with Mother?  The hood does not even close properly.

Fernanda is the next Sophia Vergara, she is funny with her American accent.  She seems like fun but no way should she get married, she should go to school and get an idea of what the world can offer...certainly more than Jon and his messy house with no bed.

Bowie MD guy going to Russia to see that hot girl he knocked up but sad she will have a belly, wtf?  Should have thought of that before he bare backed the visiting Russian girl.

The Samwoah guy seems decent but a fish out of water, if only he could climb a coconut tree he would feel more at home.  I think he will be a big kid with his son, I can see the two of them being easily amused by the same things, kind of endearing.

There is a really nice shopping area at that end of the strip, kind of a town center ish feel to it, not Vegas like at all, no glitz.  I have been to Las Vegas a few times and never saw that sign until I went to that shopping area and all I thought was, "that was it?"

The very pressing questions are never answered by this show.

First, who is co-sponsoring the visa for the skater's Russian fiancee?  He is 20, homeless, and a high school drop out.  He has about $5 to his name.  And where do they plan to live when all three of them are reunited in the USA?

Second, who takes care of Ashley's kids when she is in Jamaica?  She calls herself a single mother, but has gone to Jamaica multiple times sans children.  I'm a married mom (and my husband lives with me), and I can barely find the time to get a damn manicure.

Third, Colt works and lives with his mother.  He must have some money.  Why can't he get a new car?

Eric took the OTHER gold digger to Nowhere, PA because 1) it makes a better storyline and 2) less likely to have things leak than filming in Manhattan.   She is saying "do it proper" because that's how she THINKS one really rich people talk.    Girlfriend actually has no clue.

Poor Asuelu.   He is going to be expected to work his ass off and never see his son.   Because she sure ain't getting a job.  Nope, she's a mom now, she gets to stay home and be a housewife.  Not that there is anything wrong with that, but sometimes reality bites you on the butt and you can't do what you want.   She might have to work for a while to support the family.

Leida has OCD at best, maybe something more serious.   Her repetitive "Do it proper!  Do it proper!" was compulsory, not bitchiness.   This, I suspect, is why Reina came along for the ride.   She and the family are well aware something's not right with kid sister -- described in euphemisms like "she's annoying" -- and they want to make sure Eric can handle her once they remand her to his care.

Speaking of Eric, if he's 40, then Skateboard Guy's grandparents must be what, 50?

Did anyone tell the Fresh Prince of Montego Bay to drink up while he can because the legal age in America is 21?   Really don't like that guy, but  I tend to have a problem with any one, man or woman, who feels compelled to repeatedly tell the world how beautiful they are.

Asuelo dancing in the airport felt like the beginning of an 1970s Disney comedy.   I'm waiting for Wally Cox to show up as the wily Immigration Officer.

Speaking of movie premises, Larissa reminds me of Janet Leigh in Psycho.  She thinks she's weaseled her way into marriage and security, but through a cruel twist of fate has landed in the clutches of Colt Bates and his mother Debbie.

Vegas Polyamory: The editing on this show is delicious. A slot machine in the dining area and what looked like a broken printer on the kitchen counter! I love you editors. ❤️

How will Larissa wedge herself into the real couple here, which is Colt and his toothless mother Debbie? She is an interloper that Debbie is grudgingly tolerating, only because she realizes she cannot satisfy all of Colt's needs. Where will the Brazilian invader sit at Colt & Debbie's long time conjugal table, where Debbie serves outstanding, compliment-worthy fare like baked potatoes and plain steak? The mother/son lovers immediately start to plot ways to exclude her. After Cat Cosplay Puppeteer Colt declares that Brazilian couples sit next to each other at the table, Debbie "jokes" about how "funny" it would be if she and Colt sat next to each other instead, in the tradition of Brazilian couples. Well that sure isn't incestuous at all! "We're adding a new dynamic to OUR situation!" And what an interesting situation they have. Debbie demures, "I'll miss being involved in your stuff" as if she intends to ever stay out of his "stuff." She continues: "I'm SUPPOSED to get my own life" no shit Sherlock, and when she uses the word "supposed" she makes it quite clear that she has no intention of ever getting her own life. "My mother and I have had a thing going for many years" explains Colt. Alright, Colt, we get it.

Not surprisingly, Colt reckons that his main squeeze Debbie was thought of as a burden by some previous secondary love interests and there is no doubt that Debbie didn't do anything to dispel them of that notion.

"I find him handsome" coos Larissa about the flabby, jiggly, homely slob she plans to marry. So right away we know she's faking it

He awaits her at McCarran airport wearing his best brown and ox blood checkered shirt and poorly fitted pants, empty-handed.

Where is my flowers? No flowers. Will you buy me flowers? No. Here are some flowers you can buy. I'm not spending a whole $20 on flowers after I paid so much for airport parking.

Come on Colt, be welcoming and make her feel special! I wonder how much he would have spent on red roses if Debbie was the one landing.

When they are riding in Colt's old beater (the one she shares with his beloved Debbie), without air conditioning, in Las Vegas, Colt starts to show his ugly side and underlying anger... and maybe a tinge of misogyny?  I'm just guessing about that last one.

Larissa mentions that it's hotter in Vegas than in Brazil, and especially inside the tin can he's driving, very politely I will add. The way he told her they were in a desert, I heard something like: "yeah we're in a fucking desert bitch." He was angry but the cameras were rolling. "Roll down the fucking window dumbass and STFU" Those weren't his actual words, but it was his tone.

"It's private! It's the middle of the street!" he scolded her, gritting his teeth. No wonder only his mom loves him (she really does).

"Yesterday [Larissa] wasn't in my life , now she is" he tells the camera crew while sending mixed signals as to whether that's 100% a good thing. "Larissa seems unhappy about everything" - but frankly there isn't all that much for her to be happy about. First, there's Colt himself, the old-beater/pressure-cooker he's driving, his dull witted, jealous, incestuous mother, and Vegas is a nightmare (that is true). She wants to live in another town, another house... and no mother. I cannot blame her one bit. I hope she takes consolation in the awesome cats, if Colt lets her touch them (he may be peculiar about other people trying to develop relationships with his cats).

Debbie wastes no time trash-talking Larissa and calling her mean and selfish. "Unless she changes there is no future for either one of them here" she weeps. I have no pity for her.

Colt and Larissa are as poorly matched as Debbie's sharpie eyebrows. This marriage will be short, miserable, and Debbie will prevail on her son/lover.

 

You nailed it. Especially about Colt's mom. She doesn't know when to let go, and it's not nice! She needs to move on and get her own life so that her son will have a chance at one. Get your tentacles out of him, lady!

It's going to be ugly when these two women start fighting. And, reason being, Colt's mom knows darn well she should have backed out a long time ago. I can understand feeling sad that your son is marrying a gold digger who is way out of his league otherwise because that can only lead to future unhappiness. However, if she's unhappy that her son has found someone, that's just unnatural. 

In the end, Larissa will win if she plays her cards right. After all, it is Vegas.

The no A/C in the car, no flowers, like you could just stop at the shop and pick her up some. It's not about her being some kind of petty, materialistic B, Colt. She's come a long way for you and she's feeling insecure. The flowers are a symbol, in this case, they've become a symbol of something she is not getting, a lot of of things she will not be getting.

If there is any misogyny there, and that's still a big IF for now, we have no problem identifying the source. (Debbie.)

He's mad at Mom for stunting his personality by never letting him go.

On a lighter note, fighting with Mom will give Larissa something to do on those boring Vegas nights. (I can't believe I just put those three words together. Vegas is the most beautiful city in the world... Jeez, Colt, take her to a casino for crying out loud.) But, when it comes to a night of cat cosplay (brilliant, BTW), feuding with Mom will do nicely. Colt will become turf, something fought for and hard won. The sex will be better.

Something tells me Larissa will be brutal. And, Mom deserves it. Sorry, but I fully get that it's hard to let go of kids, and I'm not looking forward to mine growing up, but you have to let them live their own lives and this type of aberration is so not cool.

The one I dislike the most surprisingly is Kalani. She is 30 going on 11, embarrassed at the airport she is 30 for chrissakes.  Kalani can fuck whoever she wants without her parents permission. Yet all we hear  about is how much she cares about what her sister and her father think. Grow up. He family are judgmental assholes and she doesn’t need them. The sooner she sheds them and does the hard work the better the chance they have to be a family. I have NO faith that will be what happens. She just got another baby to assimilate into her life and take care of as he adjusts and she isn’t ready . Poor Asuelo there is no compassion in any member of that family. 

I am oddly rooting for the Maryland Russia couple, the grandparents are likable as is he. 

Larissa is normal, Colt is not. Mommy created a monster. There is NO HOPE here. And I don’t blame Larissa. He wouldn’t even buy the 20 dollar flowers ? WTF. loser. I can hardly wait for Shaun Robinson to NOT  ask at the tell all if he thinks his mother interfered and assisted in their demise. NO MAS SHAUN ROBINSON TLC. 

Those southern bitches are just acting for tv with a big ole bless your heart to Fernanda. Behind her back, they will cut you. Jonathan absolutely in closet.

It's hard to say ANYTHING after Toaster Strudel has done such a masterful job, but just a few observations:

1)  Asuelu seems sweet.  Immature, but sweet.  He'd be a fun boyfriend, but Kailani (sp?) wants a provider and dad and this guy ain't gonna be it.

2)  Jay and Barbie of the Denny's:  I do not understand these women who can't recognize a Jamaican hustler when they see one.  There are some good men in Jamaica, I know two women who have found them.  This guy ain't it.

3)  These middle-aged sad sacks who go abroad to chase Asian tail disgust me.  These are guys who have failed at life and they think a pliant "Suzie Wong" (because I'm sure they think all Asian women are docile and servile) will restore their so-called manhood.

4)  Steven the homeless guy with the cool hippie grandparents reminds me far too much of Acne Boy Shayden on "Unexpected." In short:  a-hole.

5)  Fernanda is hilarious.  She's what Paola from previous seasons only wishes she were.  She deserves better than this narcissistic gym rat.

6)  Colt the Mama's boy:  Here's a true-life story:  I was involved with a guy in college whose mother hated me because my parents were divorced.  She was also in love with her son.  She would hold his face in her hands with me standing right there and say "He's so beautiful I can't believe he's mine!!"  I broke up with him when I graduated because I knew his mother would ALWAYS be a problem.  For the next six years I looked to find someone who had his good qualities, but had no mother.  And damn it if I didn't find one whose mother died when he was 12.  Now that has its own baggage (see also:  Prince Harry's wild youth) but at least I wasn't competing with someone's mother.  Colt has a distinct Norman Bates-y vibe to him.  Larissa should run while she still can.  And stay out of the shower in that house.

We have very few hard-and-fast rules of conduct at our house.  But one of them is, "If AZC has to be in the hospital overnight, there MUST be flowers."  Two years ago, I had a knee replacement.  For reasons I cannot comprehend, Mr. AZC did NOT show up with flowers when he came to see me the day after surgery.  There was "discussion" about it.  So last night, after Larissa mentioned the flowers about 30 times, I said, "She'll never NOT want flowers.  And if they're THAT important to her, Colt needs to get a clue . . . or else."  Mr. AZC:  "Amen."

Regarding Jonathan . . . when one of the ladies at dinner said, "He's never brought a girlfriend to meet us before," my thought was, "How many boyfriends has he brought?"  He pinged for me last week, and nothing this week quieted that sound.

Asuelu (I don't have the heart to give him a nickname) is shaping up to be a tragic figure.

This is a 23 yr old man from a tropical island with a gentle climate, a house that needs no walls, near a beautiful beach, and accustomed to a routine of gathering firewood, cleaning up coconuts, feeding pigs, and I guess working at the resort where he met and wooed 30 yr old Stale Virgin Kalani and knocked her up (see my earlier rant about sex education). He is young, simple, with a carefree, upbeat demeanor. There is something very likeable and touching about him.

The moment he greets Kalani at the airport, with his joyous Samoan slap dance and song, their worlds clash as, rather than being appreciative, she winces in embarrassment. He says in the talking head "I feel so happiness - I wanted to make her feel proud of me" while she looks on with a condescending expression on her face. Kalani's attitude was not lost on one of the women watching Asuelu's greeting: "If things don't work out with her, call me!" - even passers-by can see from a distance that this isn't going to work out.

Driving the point home of how far apart their worlds are, he wants to carry on in the airport and in the car bare-footed. He finds the streets too wide (it's true!) and is frightened of fast driving.

However, meeting his son, he is right at home, holding him, smiling, playing with him. This man has a good and kind heart.

But he is up against insurmountable odds.

• Kalani: "I'm going to have to teach him how to act in the USA"
• Kalani's father: "Rule number one, disrespect my daughter and you will have issues."
• Kalani: "I've been without support, he's going to have to contribute"
• Kalani's mother expects him to fulfill the role of father and provider... in America.
• Kalani's sister has been told he's a cheater.

They have laid down the rules and expectations of upper middle class American life that he will be required to fulfill quickly, or else.

How on Earth will he even be able to even come close? The world he left behind is irreconcilably different.

"Kalani's family don't like me" he says softly, breaking my heart.

Agreed. I made a snarky comment about his airport dance because I didn't realize that it was 'a thing.' And, for Kalani to lie about him to garner sympathy is despicable. Meanwhile her dad is the human equivalent of a fist just waiting to bear down on him. He's a sweet man in a brood of urban vipers.

I don't know what her dad's upbringing was like, but I shudder to think that he had a similar, guileless personality when he first arrived in the United States and it was pounded out of him. If so, Asuelu's story truly is a sad one and I can only hope that Kalani will think more about her husband's feelings and less about her mean-assed Christian family.

And I am a Christian myself. Albeit I don't say that too loudly for obvious reasons, like I'm snide as hell, but I certainly don't ascribe to this whole Virginity Cult thing, like it's okay to do anything that everybody else does, just don't follow the biological promptings of your body and have sex because then you are forever tainted. I don't like the fact that Kalani feels 'shame' over her baby. Maybe she would have preferred marriage and then baby, but hey, it didn't happen... SO WHAT? As far as I'm concerned, it's far worse to heap tons of shame on a young mom and her precious baby.

Leida yelling at Eric at the airport about her bags was cringe worthy. "Do it proper!" She sounded like she was talking to a servant...and not very nicely. He would be a better match with her sister, Raina. They seemed to have a more compatible temperament. Ledia is in for a BIG surprise when they get to Wisconsin. 

I think I have a similar personality to Kalani - I would have been done the same as her and been SO embarrassed.  The guy was stripped down in the middle of an airport! Not to mention those floors are probably so filthy. 

And what exactly does "do it proper!" mean when loading luggage?  Like laying flat on the back and not on its side? I needed an explanation on why she was freaking out so bad during that.

Was Daya from Indonesia too?  I remember someone saying that where ever Daya is from, they speak pretty fluent English which is always so surprising to me.  And Lieda even seemed to have an australian accent sometimes?

I lived in Vegas for 6 long months, mostly over a summer.  I couldn't take 4 seconds of a car with no a/c, and Larissa showed up in a long-sleeved sweater and leather skirt.  Granted, she should have checked the weather, but my guess is, after her 14-hour flight, she probably took some time to change, re-do her makeup, put on those sky-high strappy heels, all so she could look nice for her "handsome" Colt.  

She didn't show up looking like last season's Rachel (married the guy from England), in old jeans, a sweatshirt, and hair that hadn't seen a brush in days.

Nope, Larissa brought it.  Whether we like her personality or not, she looked terrific.

I'm sure Dolt (Debbie + Colt, I'm giving them their Hollywood couple nickname now) either can't afford to fix the a/c, or just don't want to.  But I'd be dying if I got into that hot car too, after all the dolling up Larissa did.

I couldn't help but notice that The Doltmobile (Debbie + Colt.. thank you, Sterling!)  seems to have had multiple fender benders. Either Colt or his mom must be a terrible driver! They either don't report it to the insurance or pocket the $$$ and don't get the dents fixed.

I'm all in favor of driving a practical car that's paid for. Mr. Coach drives a flashier convertible model, and I like to ride around in it, but I don't like to drive an expensive car. I need a car that kids can eat their McDonald's in. I want a newer model that is reliable and runs well, but at the end of the day, I just need something that's easy to park at the supermarket. 

In Vegas, A/C is a MUST. Colt can have that fixed! No way would I ride around without it. Also, I couldn't handle driving around with all those dents. It screams to others on the road, "I CAN'T DRIVE!" (On the other hand, maybe it would make them steer clear? Still, just NO WAY!)

Incidentally, my screen name, Coach Wristlet Jen, was a joke because of the Justin and Evelyn story based on Justin's evil sister-in-law, Jen, somebody said something about her carrying around a Coach Wristlet, and I had recently gotten one from my own evil sister-in-law as a birthday present, hence the name. It's actually very useful and I can carry my credit cards and even fit a Larabar into it.

I'm rooting for Steven. He's got a Kyle vibe... that damaged sweetness, but someone who could overcome. I know he's a mess, but he is young.  And he's trying to do the right thing. He wants to be in his child's life.

And who kicks out their son when he's sixteen?

I like the Deadhead grandparents. I think they're sweet and loving and would be good caregivers to help with the baby.  I saw some other kid stuff in the house. Looks like they help with other babies, too. Just lovely people from what I can tell.

Fernanda won me over with that Southern accent. 19 is young and he's probably her first truly serious relationship. She's all in. It's a lot harder to accept that there were others before you at that age because she hasn't really had others before her. She needs a little time to grow up and mature. But she is smarter than she looks and probably too good for him... that will all depend on how truly ready he is to settle down.
