Tiffany has the best and prettiest eye makeup of all reality tv franchises, including all the real housewives.

I can't stand that goth look.  In one TH, she had on very little eye makeup and looked a lot like Emily Blunt.

Really? Do you get professional pedicures? Not attacking you just asking- if you’ll pay someone to do it as a relaxing thing in a public setting it seems reasonable to ask your SO to do such a thing at home. 

I've always thought it's kind of gross to pay a stranger to deal with one's gnarly feet out in public. 

I'm also sure there will come a time when I can't reach my toes to safely trim the nails, and am realizing it was kind of smart to land a guy who's ten years younger than I am.  Can't say it occurred to me at the time, but it's looking pretty shrewd the older I get.

But Ronald isn’t even hot. I mean he isn’t ugly or anything like that but he’s not on the “cute” side by any means. So he’s average looking, an addict, stole from his Mom and is fresh out of rehab. How is he improving her life?!! I’m sure she could find a guy she was attracted to just as much as Ronald, who wasn’t an addict and didn’t have a habit of stealing from his mother of all people, oh and didn’t require her to uproot her son. 

But he may be hot to Tiffany.

Ha! Younger men for the win.

I love pedicures- I get one once a month May-Sept with biweekly polish change to keep my French polish nice and then once every other month in the winter months. Yes I’m vain. Don’t judge please. 🤣

For eons old men have been offering middle aged women finacial security in exchange for companionship and caregiving in their last years, I think more women should follow suit if it pleases them (so long as people are honest with each other). 

I don’t know what Summit’s deal is but I trust him more than Aladin.

You know, Jenny walks very loosely, compared to allegedly 10 years younger Laura. She seems to be in decent shape. I noticed Jenny does have beautiful eyes, and her hair isn’t bad, it’s just too fine to be so long. 

Is there something odd about the way Jenny walks?  It's like she has some odd limp or a knee/hip issue.

It seems that every single woman on the reality shows I watch have learned how to stencil their eyebrows, and I think I might find it pretty on one or two but holy god in heaven.  Is this a Thing?  Is it on social media?  I think Tiffany's makeup is very artful--is she a beautician?--but let's give the eyebrows a rest, ladies.

And the ones who could use eyebrow work (looking at you, Jenny) are the only ones out of the loop.

OMG, yes about the eyebrows.  It amazes me how many brow products even exist this day.  And it's hilarious to me to watch these makeup tutorials by the "influencers" on youtube.  My God it takes these young, beautiful girls, hours and multiple products to end up looking like drag queens.  When you see the women in person who put makeup on like Instamodels, it looks so so bad.

I would say both his face and his body are above average.  Go to a mall or a park and look at all the schlubs walking around.  She may also be one of those women who find an accent charming.

Her face is above average but her body is average to below average for her age.  She’s not that much smaller than Nicole on 90 Day.  So all other things being equal she is getting the better end of the bargain in the looks department.  

Of course all things are not equal as he is an addict and a criminal.

I found it very rich indeed for Ronald to tell us that he went to the employer and promised to pay back everything in return for the employer dropping the charges against him.  Which he did.  After which Ronald went immediately to the "wellness" center.  So, how is he paying his employer back?  Or, since the employer dropped the charges does Ronald now feel like he no longer has to pay him back.  Tiffany should have really asked some follow-up questions.

Tiffany needed to ask Ronald a lot more follow-up questions before she took that poor kid over there. That place looks like a shite hole and completely unsuitable for a child  

Joon mentioned he needed to go back to Korea to work. Does anyone know what he does for a living? His dad is a hoot. I really enjoyed his parents. Joon really seems to love Devan.

Am I the only one not grossed out by the toenail trimming?

Granted I wouldn’t have filmed it but I don’t consider it “gross”. It’s just a toe nail in your own house. Family members don’t give each other pedicures? That’s something we did when I had sleep overs as a kid (those at home spa tubs that make bubbles).

It’s convenient for elderly members who might not be as limber or don’t have the time/inclination/desire/money to get a professional one.

Granted I did grow up in a home with more than one family member that needed around the clock care including bathing and toileting so I’m not phased by these things at all.

I wasn't fully grossed out, but I wouldn't have my fiance clipping my crusty unpedicured toenails.  Let's save that treat for a couple years into marriage.  

It did make me agree with other posters who think Jenny may have wanted to get a two-fer.  She can use her SS to live better than she could in America AND it comes with a live in caretaker she can have sex with.  

Her clip here not there comments, having him heat her water, do the chores, etc.  It just seems like he is in the role of home health aide. 

It's possible that Jenny is far smarter than she looks.

My Mom says my Grandmother (who died before I was born) always gave my grandfather pedicures way before it was a “thing” men could do in public nail salons (in the 1940s-1960s). Maybe that’s why I don’t think it’s odd. 

Yes I do get pedicures & as I said,  I need to look away & plug my ears when they are clipping my nails.  I'm glad you are able to see it as a romantic gesture,  I don't,  would never ask my husband to clip my toenails and I  would never clip his.  Has nothing to do with my love for him.

If Sumit is stupid enough to go along with it then he deserves the drudgery of being Jenny’s home health aide.  He’s already given up his job anyway!  In the first episode I remember his friends telling him it would be like having a baby who needs you 24/7.  

Certainly I can see caring for a family member who is unable to do things like this for themselves, but these two have spent very little time together in person up to now.  I guess I just really dislike Jenny and her trying to be a “youngster” along with all the crying behind those stupid huge glasses.  

I just wonder how she’ll cope with Sumit going home and leaving her in the apartment on her own!  (If he actually does.)

All ya'll saying Jenny walks funny reminds me of an aunt who is Jenny's age- and she recently underwent knee replacement surgery. She was upset as it is summer and she couldn't paint her toenails, so we got her gift certificate for a pedicure. Maybe Jenny is physically unable to bend over to do her own toes? And let's face it, those nails aren't going to file themselves.

Sumit has "mommy issues". No judgement here, but I think he and Aladin both have "mommy issue" syndrome. If it works for them, then best of luck, but in Summit's case I think his love for Jenny stems from a more family orientated "comfort"/ need- kind of love. And Sumit obviously needs to be "needed". Jenny has the emotional relationship maturity as I did when I was 15, so they will complement each other nicely! I am in my mid 30's and I'd die first rather than be in a "secret hidden" relationship with a man because he couldn't tell his family about me. Too much trifling-ness! Grow the heck up Jenny. And for goodness sake, someone introduce her to IPL therapy or fractional laser for her neck. It really isn't that expensive and most med spas will let you buy a pay as you go package, but the results can be dramatic (if you stay out of the sun and follow up maintenance).

Looks wise, I think she just edges him out.  Point for point they are maybe evenly matched.  She has a very pretty face and she knows how to do her makeup.  His face is not as attractive and it looks a little weasely to me.

She is bigger and traditionally that is less attractive....though she appears to have a defined waist which is good for her.  He has a normal body I suppose, though if he keeps eating those deep fried goodies its a matter of time before he is not looking so healthy. 

His basic body.....though not bad, is not enough to overcome the weasel face.  I also get the feeling that his teeth may not be the best.  He isn't ugly in the face, it just looks a weasely to me.

Also if a man WANTED a big woman (because that’s what he prefers) Tiffany would be way higher on the attractiveness scale than Ronald compared to a guy that wanted a thinner body type but happened to like Tiffany as an individual.

I think Ronald looks SLUMPY, like he just woke up from a nap because he has a bad head cold but he looks that way ALL the time.

This is because he’s on something? I admit I am the last person to assume someone is a substance abuser- I would assume a cognitive disability or a TBI before that given my life experiences. But we just learned he had drugs on him....ummmhmmm.

I think so too.  I don't buy that that car was 6k.  I get that for that part of the world you would want a car that was a bit of a junker.  A high end luxury vehicle is not only a waste but repairs and upkeep would be a near impossibility.

But that car was a bridge too far.  An older but well maintained car would have been more believable. 

Also, why was their car the only one on the road?  Is engabo a city with one car?  And it's THAT car?  And why was Corey driving in the middle of the road?   

I wouldn't pay 6k for that car in the US, and so I'd think that $6k USD in a country like equador is a lot of money and would at least get you a well maintained but older vehicle.

I had to ff through the toe nail cutting scene.  The sound of nail trimming is one of those sounds like nails going down a blackboard to me.  Even when I have a pedicure, I have to turn my head & plug my ears.  To me,  asking your spouse/ Significant Other to trim your  toenails is no different than asking them to pick  your nose for you. 

Yes,  Corey complains...a lot... but I think he was expecting a bit nicer accommodations & vehicle for the money he has put out.  I was confused at the discussion over ther cooking pot. It sounded as if he had sent her money to buy all that stuff brand new, that pot was disgusting!  No worries though,  Evilyn says we can go buy new ones!   

The  South African couple...I am so angry about!  First,  she's claims at the beginning if  Daniel is not comfortable, she would not go through with the wedding.  The poor kid is terrified! She even commented at the dinner date that there were too many coincidences.  

I was only surprised about the nail cutting scene bec she was so bossy telling him how to do it. Lady, if you want your toes done a certain way, go pay somebody to do it for you.

I thought my eyes were gonna bug out when Evilyn said they need to go shopping. Lady! The man HAS provided for you, in the tens of thousands for that shithole of an apartment. You couldn't get a decent pot with a teeny ounce of that money?

Idk... i havent watched enough of this season to know the couples backstories enough, however,  from snaps, I see that Ronald is tall, in shape, has a good amount of hair on his head, and looks pretty strong. That is pretty much the ideal of what a man needs to be good looking in western society IMO, I scratching my head at their pairing because I still see them am so physically mismatched, until I learned that he has problems with addictions, theft, arrests, being a delinquet whatever, which would explain his being single I guess. Or perhaps he just likes very curvy women and. I missed that. If Tiffany were a smart girl - from my perspective - she would focus on losing weight, looking for a QUALITY guy here in the US rather than shlepping her poor 8 year old child overseas, away from his grandma and friends, different education system, etc, plus I heard that South Africa is quite dangerous with street crime being a normal daily occurence in all neighborhoods.
