[Drogo]

Corey begins to second guess his life-changing move to Ecuador; Sumit wants to transform Jenny into a traditional Indian woman; Tiffany and Daniel pick up Ronald from rehab; Jihoon hopes he can get his parents to change their mind about Deavan.

Airs 6/24/19.

[Drogo]

Live chatting during the episode should occur in the Live Chat thread -

The episode thread will unlock at 10pm ET following the airing.

[Armchair Critic]

Welp.... to sum it all up I think all the Americans are screwed.

[Mercolleen]

I had no idea that Jenny was AN AMERICAN WOMAN.

[BradandJanet]

Gobsmacked is the word of the night. I hope this show doesn't fall down a rabbit hole, but I'm not sure now. 

[Drogo]

Corey, man... you're in the wrong place.  

Deavan's oral hygiene is tragic.  Jihoon's right up there with her.

"I have this feeling inside me telling me this it is the worst thing I can be doing." - Corey

True love, people!

Ok - Thank you Drogo. I wasn't sure if it was just me thinking that Deavan needs to brush and floss more.

[BradandJanet]

I'd be surprised if Deavan doesn't have a history that includes some rehab. She and Ronald could blow up the world.

Now that I'm done laughing, I assure you Jihoon's parents are going to hire an investigator and find out. They're not going to let this woman corner their man-child. He's their hope for a comfortable old age, and Deavan is not going to mess it up. 

[HappyDancex2]

I was going to say it would be pretty evident but she likes Asian dudes so maybe not.  Good luck Jihoon.  Maybe wrap it up next time?

[Spike]

Deavan is the new Courtney with the huge anime eyes and the ridiculous snap chat filters.   And Drusilla (!) is a hell child.  How dreamy to live in that tiny place with the used phone salesman and his parents.  The dog was cute though.

[Mrs. Hanson]

Corey, Evelin hates you.  Like straight up, legit, gangsta HATES YOU.  

Paul - you were a loser, you are a loser, you will ALWAYS be a loser.  

Deavon - discipline your spawn.  Jihoon will never marry you.  His parents and culture mean too much to him.  "Are you ready to meet Gramma and Grandpa?"  Slow your roll - even if he does marry you, they will never be Gramma and Grandpa to you devil spawn who needs a hairbrush.

Someone mentioned "Is she Mormon?"  Hmmm.....sleeveless, tattoos, wine, child out of wedlock, another pregnancy before marriage......doubtful.

Who told Ronald it was a good idea to get married 8 days out of rehab?  Why do they need to get married in 8 days?  Why not 88 days?  How long before he snaps at her and Daniel?  Bye bye Daddy!

[Adeejay]

It broke my heart to see Corey's parents watch their son make what they probably believe is the biggest mistake of his life and having to support him.  That woman sat at their dinner table, disrespected them and their religion and yet, their son is determined to spend the rest of his life with her. I hate to say it, but Evelin and Corey is an episode of Snapped or Dateline waiting to happen.

Grandma Jenny thinks she is hot.  Good for her; I guess.  

[happy hobo]

Damn! We have finally met all the couples and they are all just sad and/or disgusting.

It seems NO ONE knows about birth control.......

Not many of them appear to have good hygiene (stringy hair/poor dental care/kids who don't know about brushes or combs)

Please let the foreign countries keep ALL of them.

She needs a hair brush for sure on her head and her backside (not condoning corporal punishment.... but)

Jenny doesn’t want to be an auntie.  But she’s almost a great auntie.

[For Cereals]

Seriously Corey?  She made your dumb ass stop at an ATM in the middle of the night, but she can’t come get you?  Why would he do this to himself?

Jenny should be happy he didn’t try to put her in a turtleneck sari...they were all really pretty.  The dark lipstick is doing her no favors.

Deavon and Jihoon...it’s all already been said. BUT STILL...knocked up after the first visit?  We’ve read the script and this is going to end badly.

Corporal punishment has it's place. As long as the child is not BEATEN, I will not disparage it. THAT child, needs it badly. Perhaps if she had been disciplined properly (time outs etc) from the get-go it might not be needed. Unfortunately, I think at this point it is the only thing that will work.

Meh, he's too old to be under his parents' sway now. Some might say he's in this mess because of their influence and his stunted development as a grown man outside of their religion. His mistakes are his - they don't have to support it.

I bet Deavans folks are praying this works out. Can you imagine that as a grandchild? And then the possibility of a second? OH NO

RE: Deavan - y'all, are we witnessing a low key Mormon disintegration. LOL

No worries there.  She looks old enough to be that poor dumb sum meat/sumee/summits grandmother. I think she’s gross in the lassize faire way she left her family, and her lack of concern over the poor dummy having a rift with his family and damaging his social standing.  It’s all about this self centered coot getting herself sum younger meat.  I’m sorry, but those hideous glasses and that limp awful hair make her look about 80.  

Speaking of dummies, Jihoon got catfished.  Every Korean man’s fantasy looks like Shannon Doherty descending into meth abuse.  Man, those teeth.

Im embarrassed to watch Corey. Evelyn is hard as nails and is contemptuous of his weak ways.  Oh, I can’t ride the bus because I may get jacked, but I want to move there for the rest of my life. Sucker. shes a smart, desirable woman who likes where she lives and probably just wants some hookups with hot tourists,  and then targets suckers like Corey to spend money on her. 

[Frozendiva]

Ronald may have an easy time switching addictions - addicted to Tiffany and her son. Way too fast for her son to be calling a strange man 'daddy'. Small doses of spending time together and getting to know each other. Not just here's your new daddy. Ronald needs to find a job, get some stability and normalcy in his life before committing to someone. Don't know if Tiffany can handle an addict. Just see a lot of need and no real unconditional love.

The South Korean dude? You knocked up your girlfriend pretty quickly. A smart boy like him or his parents would ask for a paternity test. Do you see Deavan learning Korean, adapting to your culture, getting along with your parents? Do you see her finding clothes there? Do you see yourself as a stepfather to her first child? She may be the multiple baby mama and if lucky, end up as a 4X4.

Jenny, is Sumit paying for everything over there for now? When are you expected to chip in and carry your fair share of the expenses? You won't need to wear a sari every day, but you should dress more to fit in. Surely the turtleneck sweaters are hot and uncomfortable by now - some nice cotton or silk blouses would work.

Corey, get the hint and buy a return ticket home. After what you spent on Evelin, she could pick you up or arrange transportation for you. Not just 'take the bus'. You have been played. Go home and find another woman. Or simple farm life for a bit.

And her stupid giggle giggle about fun they had in the hot sheet motel. What a idiot! And he’s ugly as fuck, at least find a good looking guy. I’ve seen plenty of really handsome Korean men.

[HappyDancex2]

I think Jihoon had sex with her in dim lighting thru a filter.  Also alcohol.

You think Jihoon is fug?  I don't think he's that bad looking.   With enough alcohol and some filters he kind of looks like a K popper LOL

[PityFree]

 Drusilla needs to be told no once in a while.  No one scolded her when she was walking on the table or countertop.  Don’t blame the kid if the parents are providing any discipline.

There are handsome Korean men.  He is not one.  Maybe it’s the hairstyle but he looks like a cross between Michael Jackson’s mug shot and late period Teri Hatcher.

Is there a Snapchat filter for teeth the color of Mountain Dew?

Those frilly blue curtains in Corey’s cabin were tragic.

Why do they show so little Aladin? He looks the closest to eye candy I am going to get on these shows.

True to all of this^^^^!  Jenny, I would buy about three to five of those saris to wear!  I thought the black with orange one was beautiful, but I wear a dress every day to work (even on jeans Friday) so what do I know?

Deavon and Jihoon:  "Well we knocked boots for three weeks and then thought.....hmmm....maybe I am pregnant!"  YA THINK?  

Corey seriously strikes me as the 12 year old kid back in the day that I kissed behind the neighbors's lilac bushes and then proceeded to show up at my door and write love notes every day for three months.  Except....we were 12.

Dusicilla needs to be told no every damn day, every hour, every fifteen minutes!  

Deavon strikes me as the type I knew back in my club days in the mid 80's:  dark dair, heavy eyeliner, "Aren't I cool and hip?  I hooked up with a guy overseas....who knows what will happen??  Aren't I wacky?"

And please:  Stop stop STOP with the "Are you ready to meet Daddy?"  "Are you ready to meet Gramma and Grandpa?"  I have been married to my hubby for a year and a half and I made a joke to my older son about "Well you better thank Stepdaddy!" in a joking way and he was like, no, lol.  He calls him by his first name, thinks of him as my hubby more than stepdad and that is fine.  (I sometimes think they like him more than me, lolol!)

Speaking of candy, WHAT is with Tiffany's kid's obsession with eating "new candies" in South Africa?   This is the second episode where "new candies" has topped his list of reasons to move halfway around the world.

Jenny, I don't want you dressing in traditional Indian garments either.   I love Indian clothing, the beautiful designs, the rich colors, sarees, Lehenga, shalwar kameez ... Seeing them draped on a delusional, greasy-haired bag like you is just painful.  

The Little Voice In Your Head wants to know why so many people ignore it (looking at you, Corey).

Jihoon and the Buffy fan (hey, she named her kid Drusilla) ... I want to know who's taking care of Bakki while Family Jihoon is on their American adventure.

I agree!!  I went to grad school (in my early 40's) with a woman from India and I was fascinated by her culture and country.  I straight up asked her once:  When your mom comes and cooks, will you invite me to dinner, lol?  And Jenny, if you go to an Indian wedding there or in the US, be prepared to wear a sari.  You have no choice.  (My fellow grad student, btw, was in an arranged marriage and still married, happily.)

All. Of. This.   Those were BEAUTIFUL clothes, and she basically sneered at them.  Sumit isn't innocent either.  Why not get her some cute kurti tops and less elaborate shalwar kazeem to start?!  Why start her on the silk and chiffon saris and lenghas right away?!  

Corey!  Homie!  Listen to the voice in your head. It is your instinct (and potentially the ENTIRE collective 90DF audience shouting), and it is telling you that this cold ass snake is going to ruin your life and you are just handing it to her.  She isn't even trying to be subtle!  

Jihoon and Deavon are a right hot mess.  Man, Korean men can be fiiinnneee, and this is the dude we get?!  Ok, tv....give me more eye candy.  I'm so mean. Anyway, Deavon is super sketchy to me, and her incredulous "she's so wild" about Drucilla, like it is a mystical reason and she had no hand in that mess, told me everything I need to know about her. You are her MOTHER.  How about this?  I'll send my Caribbean Indian mother your way; she'll fix that shit QUICK.  Out of amusement, I also like that Jihoon knows all the English curse words.  LOL.  This whole thing is going to be a disaster. Like Olga and that asshole Steven...birth control is a wonderful modern invention (I know, I know...it isn't ever 100% effective, but do these ppl look like they really considered protection in their awkward alcohol and hotel romp?!)

Tiffany makes me sad.  She actually seems like a decent sort, but here she is handing life and that of her child's to Ron.  My immediate impressions of him are not good.  Even if I didn't know about the addiction (STILL IN REHAB) and the criminal record, something about him makes me uncomfortable.  I don't know if his eyes seem manic, or his energy feels dark or something, but I don't trust him to do right by Tiffany and the kid.  His mom's tearful "I believe in him" and the rehab dude's caution really drove home the precarious position he is in, and THAT is what Tiffany is hitching herself to.  Sigh. 

Where is hot Qatar scammer dude?!

I’ll bet dollars to donuts that Tiffany’s father was an addict of some kind. Sometimes children of addicts simply cannot help finding someone that needs rescuing, because it’s what they know and also what they want to make right. She should have gotten some counseling to change her default. Her poor son is doomed to make the same bad choices.

Tiffany, Ronald “Daddy”, and Daniel together was like watching some kind of fucked up Hallmark Hall of Fame movie.

Daniel is a sweet kid, but his innocence is going to be lost pretty fast in South Africa. I suspect that young Danny will end up in the casino slamming back Shirley Temples with Daddy who is busy playing poker but tells Tiffany that he’s taking ‘my boy’ out for a little father and son bonding time.

It all goes downhill fast when Daddy uses the last of Daniel’s candy money on the nickel slot machines. 

Jenny: wash yer hair darlin’ 

Look up naive in the dictionary and you’ll see a picture of Corey. Look up evil, and you’ll see a picture of Evelin. 

Deaven: Stupid Girl. She’s barely  a child herself, and now knocked up with kid number two.

Just finished watching this episode!

Where do I begin????

Where do they find these people?  These poor children!  And birth control.  If the women aren't using it pack a few in your to of luggage!  Best investment!

I'm trying to figure out Ronald 's next addiction!  Porn, drugs or sex addiction?  

I kind of like Tiffany and don't understand why she can't find a fellow over here.
