S01.E10: Rolling The Dice

[Drogo]

Ronald has to confront his demons; Laura's new sex toy offends Aladin; Corey and Evelin have a very different vision for their future; Paul faces Karine's parents with upsetting news; Sumit leaves Jenny to go home to his parents.

[Scarlett45]

Not watching live but I wanted to see it before I head to bed. 

Karine is looking better this episode. Her smile reached her eyes. 

[Mrs. Hanson]

Okay, where do we start? Laura and Aladin:  "A part of me feels like I should put the brakes on this relationship."  Well you know so damn much about cars, listen to yourself.  I do NOT think for one minute Aladin was pretending about being offended.  He is not that good of an actor and ANY man would take offense to that.  Wise up before you give him the book.  Actually, DON'T give him the book.  I have a feeling I will not be a fan of Aladin and I am not a fan of Laura but I actually felt bad for him with that vibrator.  Then, after saying he wants to be alone, she sticks her beak out the door to talk to him!!!  Leave him alone!

Evelin and Cory - don't care as I think we are all being played.

Tiffany and Ronald:  I hate you two but yet I watch.  "I have huge trust issues with him" yet you are running down the aisle.  Ronald, pick up Dad at a corner down the street.  If you go into a casino, tell her AFTER you are done.   I can't WAIT to meet Dad - divorced when she was three and "we weren't that close" so now I gotta fix a man.  I wonder if Dad was a cheater, a druggie or a drinker?  Or she needs to prove to herself that she is worthy of keeping a guy around?  Tiffany:  "I said I came her to stand by him and help him, and I want to keep my word" (I am paraphrasing a bit) - so then stand by your word about what you said about leaving if Daniel was uncomfortable or unhappy!!!!  He told you that DIRECTLY.  HE was probably begging his aunt to take him back to the US after the wedding.

Jenny and Sumit:  Is there a reason a Caucasian woman, alone, can't flag a rickshaw?  Seriously, is there?  Why can't she go out and about?  I am never a fan of giving a guy an ultimatum, but I would say "You have so many days to figure this out, like 4 days or I am heading home.  I am being treated like a side piece but your wife, in this case, are your parents."  Jenny, you are 60 plus -stop acting and being treated like you are 15.  I am still bewildered she went over there clueless about marrying an Indian citizen in India when you are a US citizen.

I will NEVER fail to be amazed at these clueless folks who sell everything off leave everyone behind and seemingly never do  a Google search on life in that new country.  "SA has child trafficking, garbage everywhere but hey - let's bring my 8 year old over there!!!!  To marry an unemployed felon."

Karine and Paul - they both need a bath.  Karine, you are not helping by bitching about Paul.  If I knew my parents hated my hubby:  When asked, "Is he helping you"  I would be like: "Oh my gosh, YES!!!  He rubs my feet and caters to me!!  He is so sweet!!"  The greeting Karine's mom gave Paul was straight up COLD.

I want Evelyn to use and abuse Cory and break him like a twig and send him home with nothing. Too harsh?

She has told him more than once that she doesn't want to get married and she doesn't want kids. She wants money and doesn't mind asking for it.  Yet, he persists with the marriage and kids talk.  He is so clueless.  I used to think she was horrible. But she is honest with him and he is kind of wimpy and annoying.

MTE. He went down there to propose, the dummy. But like someone else said, I think it's all fake for exposure for their little bar.

Sumit's tall, handsome friend called it: Jenny is as needy as a newborn baby. She's been there a month and can't even get from A to B by herself. Why the hell would someone like her move to India in the first place? Stay at home, shop at your local Target, never leave your zip code.

I don't really care about the gambler and the bad mom. Someone spoiled their present situation for me, so now IDGAF. Same for Paul and Karine.

Laura and Alladin are the most interesting to me. They sounded like a real, honest couple when they were arguing in the car. Why couldn't she find a nice guy in the States, though? I like her.

[PityFree]

 Hey Laura? Guess what? It’s a little bit too late to start pumping the brakes because—in case you hadn’t noticed—you are already legally married to Aladdin.

 Also, is it legal to run into the street wearing nothing but a nightie in Qatar?

[PityFree]

And,  is there any reason that Tiffany’s father can’t take a cab to the wedding or Ronald‘s mother can’t pick him up instead?? That is cheap staged drama, in my humble opinion

Would the US have any way of knowing about a Qatar marriage? Couldn't she just go home and operate as a single person?

[BoomerRumor]

Poll hiding out in Careening's hometown down the Amazon...um, Careenings father is a retired cop. He would surely be obligated to report Poll's presence. And even if Poll didn't fess up, Dad would have to wonder why they came back there. I got the distinct impression that Dad was thrilled to eject her into someone else's budget. Now he's stuck with three of 'em! Seems like a darn nice man, too.

 Maybe she had to provide that kind of information on a visa?  In any case, I think her Tunisian love rat will let the government ( Canadian or American) know because he’s going to want a piece of her retirement money and assert his claim to any of her assets when she dies.

I think the visa thing is probably it but possibly the other, too, although I doubt Qatar would give a fig. Poor Laura really is an idiot. If I were she, I'd jet home and change my name...also I think she's Canadian, now that I think about it. Laura, hun, this is a culture that amputates women's clitori...whatever makes you think he wants to stimulate it?

[Frozendiva]

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.

Laura, you knew what jiggy jiggy you will be getting from your 'husband'. If it is not acceptable and he is not willing to maybe make a few adjustments to please you the way you like, keep your toys to yourself and please yourself when he is gone for the day. Otherwise, end the 'marriage' and go back to either Florida or Canada.

Jenny, stop being so childish and needy. You are quite capable of managing on your own. I am. And I am a bit younger than you. I have also been independent most of my life. I would find a way to get by. Sumit is showing you that he is afraid of his parents and customs and tradition. You either suck it up and deal with it, or you wish him well, love him (real love is unconditional), and move along and wish for his happiness even if it is not you. Be alone for a while, explore things on your own. Given the heat and bugs and such, I wouldn't probably move to India but if I was there for a few months, I would probably explore the sights.

Tiffany, you are living in a country that is rampant with crime, racial inequality, human trafficking, and you have fallen in love with an addict and a fixer upper project. He has to fix himself and deal with his own demons before he can be with you. Your priority is to protect your young son. Fresh from rehab addicts are not a good life choice. Delay the marrying him thing for a bit.

Pole, you will carry around your past for the rest of your life. You may think you have changed, but you are still obsessive and may offend again. Set Karine free, pay some child support and go back home.

No way he can ever make money. He's so hapless he'll gator-flop into the jaws of a croc and that'll be that. On the Amazon, on the piranas hear you scream when someone pushes you off a boat. Her parents seem grateful she's back home, will take care of her, and they're just counting the days. Of course Dad (cop) will turn him in. There is a police dept right there in that town.

I'd be SO DELIGHTED to explore India on my own, with Sumit to fall back on when he returns. I bet TLC agrees to expense the return trip home or it would be embarrassing...small price to avoid even worse PR. There are phrase books, translators (cheap ones that aren't cell phones few would steal), hold up your fingers for how much? Worked for me many times. I think there's some truth to Sumit's story, but not much. I think his parents would be much more distressed about the age difference than cultural chasms or race/religion. They want grandchildren.

[Christina]

Even though Jenny is needy, I don't blame her for not wanting to travel around town by herself. There have been several instances of women being groped when in the country on The Amazing Race. One time, the teams had to travel a path with a bunch of balloons and the locals kept popping them along with grabbing the women's breasts and butts. They ended up just allowing everyone to move on with however many balloons they had because it wasn't safe to make them do it again. There was a full production team and security with them and it didn't stop anything.

In one of the earlier seasons, the teams had to travel by train to the next location and the women were rubbed against and had the breasts groped. The actually changed the travel plans for the next day for safety reasons.

Ronald: “I’m taking my recovery very seriously.”

Puleeez.

He’s doing the active listening thing and just telling everyone what they want to hear. My heart breaks for Tiffany’s mom and sister. I think he’s got some serious psychological issues, maybe bipolar. I sense a simmering rage and it makes me scared for Daniel.

I think Jenny is afraid Summit is never coming back.  Could you blame him?

Poor Laura is looking for "love" in all the wrong places. The ability to "rock the world" of a middle aged American woman takes willingness and know how.  Aladdin doesn't have the skill set. Also, he is not willing to try.  Laura, go home and find a decent guy at your experience level. Get him a Viagra prescription, and get a vibrator to finish the job, if necessary.  You will be so much happier long term. 

[Dobian]

Are the producers going to have something gross or gory shoved in Cory's face every week so they can get his repulsed reaction and Evelyn chiding him for being disrespectful?  The whole thing is so staged.  Why don't they just make him fry up some tarantulas next week or something.

[Delete]

Laura hasn’t been with Aladin long enough to start giving instructions on how to please her cootchie. How about start with getting to know each other better? . It seems she married him simply to get some dick, but the dick is attached to human being . She comes across really head strong. Also,  I really can’t stand  people who start pointing their finger when they are arguing a point. Especially in an enclosed space like the car. 

Jenny is a sulking whiny woman. She isn’t very independent if Sumit needs to be there for her all the time. The fun of moving someplace new is the opportunity to explore new surroundings, and start learning about the area. She’s going to suffocate him with her neediness.

Why did Corey haul his cookies to Ecuador if Evilyn has no intentions of marrying him? He’d have to return home after his visa expires. She’s been pretty vocal about not wanting to marry him. I’m guessing the joke is on us. 

Do not like Tiffany. I would not be telling my sister to call my fiancé ‘brother‘ within minutes of meeting for the first time. Nor would I have my son stay over night with people he doesn’t fully know yet. The whole situation seems forced, and I’m not buying that her Dad couldn’t arrange a cab to pick him up. Of course, get the gambling addict pick him up. What a great idea. 

Kinda wished that Pole would be chased out of town by Karine’s Dad. Gotta see some more Pole shuffling.

Tiffany -- heavens, that girl is a wide load! Although the cold-shoulder peplum top would not flatter even the thinnest girl, maybe it is the best look for her. My heart goes out to her; she's obese, has a kid, is on her own with few skills. But she's got a lot of moxie to get herself all the way to SA. Who knows where this may lead, maybe it will be a learning adventure. It seems like sketchy hubby has a solid family that will at least take her in. But back to the weight; that much weight indicates some discomfort in other areas of life that lead her to eat that much. Let's hope she's discovered birth control at least. The Pill is a nice amuse bouche pre-dejeuner for the next few months, I hope.

This is turning out to be a pretty wonderful travel show, aside from the characters.

Yes!!!!! She married him. There is no “putting on the breaks”. There’s separation or divorce, but there’s no “slowing down”. They are married- does she have trouble processing this?

What I want to know, is supposedly these people all live in filth and nothingness..with pigs and dogs in the streets? Then where do they all buy their nice clothes, and how do they maintain them with no washers, dryers, and irons? Poor people here don't dress as nicely as these people seems to do. Also, Evelin wants no children ever..is there a corner drug store where she buys birth control then? How will she manage that? Where do they all obtain their food and water and health care? I want to know this sort of thing, not how they decapitate a chicken.

Wtf with this intense reaction? She's smaller than or similar to others on the shows who never get this much animosity about size; is it just an easy target because people dislike her parenting choices and are redirecting their anger?

Every town and village in Central and South America has a pharmacy, and you can buy anything without a prescription. I always stock up when I'm there! You can buy ANYTHING from birth control to Ambien to antibiotics.

[Mr. Miner]

I don't hate Tiffany because of her size. I hate her for her stupidity and blatant disregard for her son.

Ronald is a fucking dullard with addiction problems.

[Pondlass1]

I don’t for one minute think Evil and Cory are real.  They might be a couple in RL but their deal is a set up for our entertainment.  She’s just too evil and he’s too naive.  It doesn’t make sense, he’s supposedly spent months there before. 

I think people are noticing. It’s too obvious with these two.

See, I don't think that the good folks of Engabao live in filth and nothingness. Its a beach town, people make their livings from fishing, and its something of a destination for surfing. I'm sure there are all kinds of amenities; we're not seeing them because Sharp/TLC always wants to show the foreign destination as poor, backward, filthy, crude, and primitive. I think that Corey and Evilyn are punking us big time. So I've come to really enjoy watching them--its "oooh, goody! the Clueless Corey and Evil Evilyn show! What are they going to try to put over on us today?"

Aladdin is a Tunisian Love Rat. He's trying to wangle a US or Canada visa, guaranteed.

Laura is an idiot, for sure. If you want to improve your sex life, maybe introduce some toys for starters! Something that will be enjoyable for BOTH of you! Bluntly pulling out a big purple vibrator and telling your guy he's too quick is not exactly going to ring his chimes. Sheesh.

Jenny is beyond ridiculous. This helpless act is embarrassing. She can't even go to the market for food on her own? Aren't there other people in the building? There must be housewives she can make friends with who can go shopping with her if she's scared to go herself. New Delhi is a big city, not some backwater.

Tiffany is in for a world of hurt. Ronald's sleaze just radiates from him. He is DYING to backslide.

* Broccomole = guacamole made with broccoli.  My digestive system and my taste buds revolted.

[seacliffsal]

I just can't believe that both Jenny and Laura are so willfully ignorant of their new homeland and cultures.  I guess that part of it is that they see themselves as highly desirable and in positions of power, therefore their men should do whatever they demand/want.  Even if Jenny doesn't want to walk a mile, she could walk around the block.  Indians are very hospitable and would willingly help her if she wanted to buy something, etc.  I don't appreciate Laura's remarks about the culture in Qatar.  Their culture is their culture and the time to make a judgement/decision about it is before moving there.  Do I agree with everything in the other cultures in which I have lived and/or visited?  No, but I also understand that there are different philosophies and beliefs than those I hold.  Even in our own country/culture I respect those with whom I disagree.  Laura is very convinced that not only is she right about everything, but Aladin needs to change his beliefs and behaviors to fit in with hers.  Laura, maybe you should have found a Canadian instead of a Tunisian.  Same goes for Jenny-stop demanding that Summit do this or that according to your wishes.  

Tiffany is so wishy-washy.  "Well, I said that I would marry him..." and you said that you'd take Daniel home.  How nice that she has lived her life in such a way that she has always followed through with everything she ever said.

Karine really did look happy when reunited with her family.  And, her parents are now among my favorites of all of these shows.  Paul is pretty shrewd with how he omits and rewords the evidence and charges against him.  All a part of his permanent victimhood.  

Evilyn and Corey-whether fake or real, Corey is willing to come across as a buffoon.  Wouldn't be surprised if he asks his family for financial help.  It also seemed to me that the bar is an add-on to her family's restaurant, not necessarily a stand alone establishment.
