It's possible that he could come in on a temporary work visa. Lots of resorts, summer camps, and other seasonal places hire foreigners for the summer and pay for their visas as part of their "payment package." I used to be in charge of hiring non-Americans for a seasonal company in Minnesota. Age wasn't really a factor in some of the tech jobs, kitchen work, groundskeeping jobs, etc. He speaks English well and has a work history. That would've been enough for us. He could come in on one of those or a student visa and then just never leave. It's illegal, but people do it. If he got caught he'd be deported, but that doesn't stop some. Some are even able to segue it into permanent residency. If his tech skills are good he might even find a company to hire him and support his employment visa. 

I think the REAL reason he's not going to come to the US is because Homefrie's a weenie and he has zero backbone. To come to the US he'd have to research various visas, find a job, book a plane ticket, pack a suitcase, tell his friends/family, etc. He's not going to go through that much effort. I',m shocked as hell that he even had the motivation to rent an apartment for Jenny. 

That really makes me wonder if Jenny wired him the money for that before she left;  maybe TLC paid for it.   I am sure they paid for Liam's flight and also for Tina's and Jen's.  

I wonder if Mrs. Sumit is pregnant yet.  They have been married long enough to have a child.   I don't see him leaving a wife and child even if he hates the wife, but what do I know.

Jenny is kidding herself if she thinks Sumit will even think of divorce.   I've known a few people from India, and they had arranged marriages, and would never divorce.   If a woman is divorced her family probably won't take her back either.     The divorce rate is less than one percent, and Sumit won't be part of that any time.   

Tearless Jenny (until she rubbed her eyes a lot) didn't even have red eyes, or any evidence of tears.    I would love to see the Family Sumit in full fight mode.    I wonder if Sumit was actually dragged away by police, because though you won't be jailed for adultery in India, but bigamy is prison time, seven to ten years I understand.    I wonder if trying to marry Jenny was enough for police to arrest him. By the way, Indian prisons are not deluxe accommodations either.

Welp, I’m out. I was halfway buying into these two dopes before suffering through Jenny’s terrible acting last night. Sure, Jan. The India marriage mafia showed up at your  door and smashed Some Meats shrine. I mean....come on. Her acting chops were just beyond crap. Boo. Hiss.

Yes. Her daughter and her wife lost me, when they referred in their video not applying to their “fans”. I guess I’m clueless thinking anybody watches this show for any reason otherwise to snark on these people. But then again - Jenelle Evans apparently has “fans” too. At least she’s been (was) on TV for 10 years.

This entire storyline was telegraphed early on when they went to inquire about getting married and the official they spoke to said that all mail needed to be sent to Sumit’s parent’s address for the sole purpose of making sure Sumit wasn’t already married.

In my imagination, the Family Sumit brawl was broken up by Steve, Jerry Springer’s bodyguard. 🤔

I'm not convinced.  What we have is someone saying she is Jenny's cousin posting that Jenny knew ahead of time.  I think the Instagram photos showing Jenny and Submit still happily together are a lot more eyebrow-raising.  I still think she didn't know, but there is fishy stuff going on.

I think her crying and hysterics are real. I don't think she's acting there. I don't think she's crying because she didn't know he was married, though. IMO she's upset because in whatever fantasy world she and Sumit live in they both thought she could just come to India and he could live between the two houses and keep it all a secret from his family. Now that the shit has hit the fan, she looks like a fool in front of the world (she already did, of course, but she may have been in denial).

This makes a whole lot more sense to me because there's an actual perceivable benefit to this scenario.  Sumit and Jenny for reasons beyond human understanding seem to find each other very sexy and apparently have a very satisfying physical relationship, and if they were happy with her being his side kick, well, then, more power to them.

She may even have known he was married; it was only the dramatic bursting into the apartment that surprised and frightened her.

But, why date a married man and then apply to put the relationship on camera?

Did she think making the relationship so public would force Summit's family to agree their love was true and pure and allow him to divorce? And why did Summit agree to be on television. There entire story is mind boggling to me.

Yeah, none of it really makes sense no matter what angle it's looked at. I still think they could be heads-in-the-sand kind of people: they thought that they'd get some publicity and low level fame, perhaps make a little cash on the side, and Jenny possibly getting a free plane ticket out of it and that nobody in Sumit's life would ever know...

For all we know, the "marriage" of Jenmit was never on the table. Rather than selling all her stuff or giving it away, it could be back in a storage unit in California. Maybe staying the 90 days in India was all she ever planned on doing since she knew they couldn't get married. They just didn't expect his family to find out that quickly and to come and crash the party before those 90 days were up.

Yeah, that's what I feel. I think their relationship with each other is real enough, just can't wrap my mind around what their endgame was. Maybe Jenny thought that she'd find a job in India and would be allowed to stay there for work (not how that works, but she's not the crispiest fry in the happy meal). They may have thought that having an apartment together and him going back and forth would be worth it. His family showing up and causing the drama (assuming that really happened) is probably what rocked their boat and upset the plans.

I think that may have been sumits reasoning.  But he may have just sort of floated along with any plan that Jenny came up with because he doesn't want to deal with conflict. 

Jenny is a born fool with all the intelligence and forethought of a 10 year old. I feel sorry for her daughter who must have had a lifetime of talking her mom out of various MLM scams and giving out her SSN over tbe phone. 

Sumit however, seems like he just doesn't think beyond tomorrow.  How the hell did he think this was going to end?  Did he think about his poor wife?  Yeah, maybe it's an arranged marriage but that doesn't mean she deserves this humiliation.

  Now sumit wants to talk tough "I'd rather be in jail than in a marriage I hate!" You know what...fuck you sumit, I bet your wife doesn't like looking at your fucked up teeth either, but she isn't on national TV basically saying that she'd rather be in jail than honor her vows.  

The time to sumit to take a stand was two years ago before the wedding...not now when he is married and suddenly decides he can take a dump all over his wife.

Cold shoulders in 2013? Or was Jenny fashion forward?

While watching Sex and the City reruns I was floored that in the episode where Miranda’s mother dies, *Samantha* shows up to the funeral in a black cold shoulder dress. That episode aired in 2001...everything old is new again!

Jenny appears to be wearing a tank under an off-the-shoulder top though...and she looks good. What a blow those glasses deal to her face.

I think--in fact, I'd bet the farm on it--that while S&J felt they had Production's blessing for their scripted plot, they didn't know that Production planned to spring this surprise on Jenny, and that it was not coincidental that she was without help when she was dealt this particular blow.  I'm willing to believe that there was a pretty dramatic (staged) busting-in on Jenny, and it had its desired effect on her, and that there was not so much perceptible damage to the apartment because after all it was Sumit's stuff.

Like Caesar, Jenny seems to believe she's a lot smarter than she really is.

Wouldn't a reality tv show do extensive background checks on all its participants? I cannot imagine how deep the legal team digs to get a full check on everyone. That said, I believe they knew he was married. They wouldn't subject themselves to any potential damage that could arise from someone with a sketchy past/present. They did this for shock factor, imo.

HEY GIRL HEY!  Just popping in before getting to work to say that yes, Sumit is the worst male in the franchise and Tiffany is the worst.  Sumit knew he was married and asked/allowed Jenny to sell everything and move there.  Snaggletooth is the worst.  We were all like:  Geez he is so nice, what is the deal?  Well now we know.  But I think Jenny knew, all her stuff is not sold and she was in on the drama.  I do think she is emotionally stunted at age 12 though.  She puts too much of a romantic spin on EVERYTHING.  And a dramatic spin as well.

I am glad I am not the only one who can't figure this out.   None of the scenarios that run thru my brain make complete sense.  

I think TLC knew Sumit was married and figured Jenny would find out by the end of filming and if she didn't figure it out on her own, they might or might not give her some very obvious clues depending on whether or not they thought she and Sumit were good for another season.

Is it possible the "current" pictures she has of them together are actually older pictures and they are pretending to still be together because of the show?   

I am going to quit trying to figure them out because I haven't had my morning caffeine and thinking too much about this confuses my brain.

I don't remember the subject of marriage coming up.  I think it was just that Jenny was coming here and the friend was shocked.  It's possible, based on what I remember, that he thought sumit was going to bring Jenny over ans just shack up with her......and thought it was a terrible idea.

There is no doubt in my mind that production knew he was married.  

Sumit couldn't outfox his dad in a motorcycle helmet....no way did he keep this from production.

This is why I'm so mad that they weren't there to capture the showdown.  

What is the point of that knowledge, if it's not going to be used to capture that dramatic and highly entertaining showdown?!?!??? 

Yeah, production may not have gotten releases, but good luck on family sumit to try to sue in a US court and however much they won in damages would have been worth it.  

They could have blurred out faces, it STILL would have been entertaining.

I mean.... production didn't even try!

I'm thinking this because Tiffany arrived in SA then a few episodes later viewers say she is a lot more pregnant than she says she is... 

Production is probably kicking themselves about missing the epic showdown.

If production had known, no way they wouldn’t have had a crew on call and nearby to record any confrontations. That shit would be ratings gold. 

IMO, this was a one in a million situation of  two people meeting, each with particular set of emotional and psychological baggage, scars and personality quirks, that when meshed allowed them to ignore reality. They lived their fantasy life within the walls of that little apartment right up till the real world literally came knocking on the door.

They never had a chance to develop their feelings....and if not passionate love at least a love borne out of respect and shared experiences.  

Because everytime wife sumit did anything mildly annoying she'd be compared to Jenny the saint....who......thousands of miles away....was the perfect woman who would never, ever do whatever wife sumit was doing that was irritating.  

He thinks Jenny is an ideal mate?  Sure she is, when you can show up once a week, shop, have a few meals and clip old lady toenails.  Of course Jenny seems ideal when sumit doesn't have to spend 24 hours a day with her and can spend a day or two here or there or can get off the phone.  

Wife sumit never stood a chance and that relationship never had an opportunity to grow and blossom.  Jenny and sumit aren't in love in the way adults are....they love each other the way two kids at summer camp fall in love.

I thought after the Ryan Jenkins debacle, reality shows had tightened up vetting applicants, too.  

I think they probably knew Sumbitch was married, too, and knew it would blow up in his face (and Jenny's) during filming.  

Probably the only reason their boring asses made the cut because, aside from this twist, I found their story pretty bland.

And didn't Sumbitch say his brother-in-law had been following him on a motorcycle wearing a helmet so wouldn't be recognized?  I think this happened the same day as the swarming of the love nest.

I posted this in the episode thread, but Mini Persnickety saw a post on one of the 90DF Facebook pages that had a screen grab of a woman who is supposedly Mrs. Sumbitch.  Lovely woman.  Looked like she could be Jenny's granddaughter.

THIS . Sorry for my shouting but this is so the issue for me. Remember they were all backing him up on how you HAD to do what the parents wanted, and there is no disobeying them. How can they be his friends and be meeting with his sidechick while he is married? And they were certainly supporting the notion that he was single.
