Tom is giving me major creepy vibes.   

"comparation," an obsolete word.  There's no way this guy is 39.

I only watched the hour long preview and haven't seen the whole show yet......

Rebecca and greasy Rasputin- He is gross .  She is desperate; is she Angela's other other daughter?  She needs to be single for 5 seconds and get some professional help as to why she has 3 failed marriages and is obsessively jumping into her next one.

Tim- I can't believe he has a daughter, b/c I can't believe a woman would willingly have sex with him.  He completely comes across as gay and not fabulous to me.

TLC should not encourage Darcy.  Now all the other losers from this show will think they will have a chance to be on again with a new international love.  Her poor daughters.

Notice how Ukraine woman never says his names. It’s always baby so she can send it to all her tricks. 

I knew when he wired the money he was gonna be SOL. Is her story true? That she couldn’t get out because of Russian attacks?

I went looking for info on the Ukrainian martial law declaration. It lasted one month - Nov 30 to Dec 30. The only travel restrictions I could find were Russian men 16 to about 60 could not travel into Ukraine. This was a convenient diversion for that scammer. She's despicable. Belongs with Boris and Natasha, lol.

Not Tim's biological daughter. Or you pointing the sex and daughter thing out as two separate events? In that, Tim has acted as a father so he has a daughter and you can't believe the girls mom had sex with him.

;-D

Darcy and her sister would make an excellent pair of garden gnomes

No need for sorry. Ain't my tv show. 😉

In other news.... people like rebecca are pulling a bit of their own scams with the filter nonsense.

Why don't Caesar & Nicole hook up?

Pretty sure poor Caesar is in the low 90 range. He's a bit 'off'. Looks like he's actually the only one in this whole 90 day shit show galaxy of morons that I'm gonna feel sorry for. Love how his boss gave him a good, 'wtf's wrong with you dude" talking to.

I will begin the roasting with Avery, a freshly baked Muslim with a still uncooked center.

Normally, I would dismiss the fears that she might join ISIS as irrational, borderline racist poppycock from her family members.

But after watching the whole segments, I'm utterly convinced that she has the perfect combination of traits that would make her an easy and enthusiastic recruit for the next terrorist cell or organized crime enterprise that half-ass try to lure her. Or a hostage. She's absolutely daft enough for this. Romanticizing living in a war-torn country, lacking any forethought or planning, and longing for an iron rule upon her life, she's a perfect mark.

For some reason she seems to crave the tight swaddle of authoritarian structure. Well... she does, for now. It's the flavor of the moment. Did she yearn for the Muslim faith, or to surrender her daily decision making in a misguided search for utopia? "Something to keep me in line and on the right path" were her exact words. To this end, she now adheres to a rigid set of instructions of what to eat, how to dress, when to pray, etc. No dating in Islam! No kissing before marriage!

She tried to cajole her family into learning Arabic - a preposterous request. They may learn a few words for fun, but it's not her business to make this request. "You guys can deal with what I do," she hisses to her family, as she is keeping secret that he already proposed and she is flying to Lebanon to marry him and move to Syria.

Why is her mother indulging her recklessness by accompanying her to Lebanon? Since Avery needs structure so much, why not give her what she needs and coerce her to wait a 5 year cool off period before marrying this guy? He proposed without meeting her, a huge red flag she refuses to reckon.

I eyerolled pretty hard at the "King & Queen" texts. People really fall for this nonsense? She was really gobbling it up.

She reminded me of a friend of mine with her quick changes of philosophy and religion. While a nominal Christian, she decided that when she got old enough (we were teens at the time) she would convert to Catholicism. She liked the pomp and circumstance as well as the  tighter controls she perceived existed.

A few years later, that was discarded after having been practiced a couple of years. I think there was a period of vegetarianism as well.

Now it's Eastern religions. She seems so like Avery. Avery especially has a flair for the exotic - if there isn't some sense of mystery or the forbidden, she's not interested.

Unfortunately, it seems her parents think because she's 19, they are helpless. I also get a sense that they have experienced what happens when they crack down. She probably just digs her heels in deeper, and of course, no one is smarter than she is.

[100Proof]

She jumped from a medieval religion to a stone age one. :-D

Sorry, y'all, I found Caesar oddly endearing. Obviously we've had plenty of wolves in sheep's clothing on this show who turn out to be total pricks, but so far this guy is likeable for me. I would not in a million years have guessed that he worked in a nail salon. I'd love it if my husband could do my manicures for free. I wonder how much he makes in a year to be sending her $800 a month. That's rent for a lot of people.

...But yeah. He's being scammed big time. I felt bad when his face visibly WOMP WOMPed when the producer asked him if he thought she was sending videos to other men.

My husband and I thought the same about him being a good guy.  It’s hard to watch the scam being pulled on him. 

What I wonder about in so many of these catfish situations is whether the victim is somewhat culpable because he or she insists on trying to pursue a relationship with someone who’s supposed to be a model.  Some of these folks seem really lonely, but it’s hard to imagine that there’s no one who’s normal looking many of them could find love with if they were open to it.

Forgive me, I’m thinking “out loud” while I’m on the elliptical, so I might have more coherent thoughts later, lol. 

[milner]

Did Darcy and Stacey get new boobs?  They certainly look bigger. Overall they are not very attractive women  And how do they afford that house?

Caesar looks like if Ray Allen fell on hard times and he has the personality of Zach Galifianakis’  “twin brother,” Seth. If he has an extra 800 bucks every month, I think I have been seriously under tipping my nail techs.

I’ll be willing to bet that Avery converted to Islam because she had a crush on her Muslim coworker.

I'm thinking that's about $40 dollars a day!  Eight customers. $5.00 each a day.  But I forgot he's working seven days a week so maybe it's tips he sends her!I

Caesar reminds me of those people on Dr Phil that are being catfished into sending hundreds of thousands of dollars.  Even when he proves the evil they refuse to believe it!  It's a great scam and you never hear about pay backs of filing charges.

Avery loves the attention her being anything brings her!

I don't think small shoulder guy was ever married to the ex fiance!

Darcy...I just can't!  This will be a long season.

Avery seems to me like someone who just wants to do something to be different. IDK why but that is the gut feeling I get that this is her version of attention seeking behaviour. She seems to enjoy the attention of becoming Muslim more than it being a religious awakening but I will continue to watch and see, maybe I am wrong.

Caesar is being played and for some reason I feel bad for him even though it is his fault for needing to land someone outside his league looks wise. IDK he just seems naturally vulnerable or something?

Darcy is back on with all the makeup. Just toss the lashes ladies you look so much better without them (I recently saw a Chantel preview without the lashes and eyeshadow and was damn she is good looking but the makeup lessens her looks not improves them).  While Darcy is not as hot as Chantel she is much better looking with more natural makeup. I would think Darcy could find a younger man in the US but maybe she enjoys the distance, you get to have a boyfriend but your life too. I can see the appeal of that. Also I am sure she likes the TLC pay.

Can't help but wonder how many men Maria has on the hook.  With just a couple of Caesars she can live like a queen. 

I don't understand why Avery's parents are just sitting there looking shell shock.  Surely, there has to be something they can do to stop her. 

Avery's story line is shades of Nicole/Azan.  Nicole's mother has half-heartedly tried to knock some sense into her but yet continues to enable her delusions. 

This is a great new-ish (Darcy/Stacy) crop of dimwits, but it's going to be hard to watch the Cesar story line.  Poor dude works REALLY HARD to export his paycheck for nothing in return. 

This show has a similar effect on me that Hoarders does - reinforces my conviction that I WILL NEVER GET LIKE THAT.

I noticed this also. I know he's after a woman above his league but other than that he seems like a nice, hard working guy.

Why isn't he pursuing local women? Where are his family members? His friends? His support system? Everyone else had their family members on this episode, I think. I really hope he isn't all alone because I fear this relationship will end badly.

And $800 a month? With all those riches in the Ukraine, she could have saved enough for her plane ticket to Mexico.

Also, the filter woman, she is attractive, she doesn't need the filters! I love her hair color.

I suspect that Caesar's friends and family are embarrassed by the whole thing, and don't want to be associated with it.

I'm glad I am not the only one who felt that. Something is off with him! 

[SunnyBeBe]

This is my initial reaction to the cast this season:

Rebecca (Private investigator), some people love the chase and once they get their catch, they aren't happy.  The more risks, the happier they are.  Even her kids know it. This man that she is crazy about looks scary, imo. 

Cesar (nail tech).  At first, I thought this must be a bad joke by him....but, I think it's just a really bad, sad situation.  But, he may never be convinced. 

Darcy (repeat offender) No matter where you go.....there you are.  That sums it up with her. 

Tom or is it Timothy(self proclaimed successful man).  When you put that much emphasis on looks and material things in life.....you may struggle to find a genuine person. 

Avery (impressionable, naive teen).  It's sad, but, I doubt much will teach her anything about reality, with the exception of getting into a very dicey situation and getting scared to death.  I don't think she reads as much as she pretends or that she has educated herself about the reality of an American living in Syria.

Ok, so I think Rebecca (is that the filter one?) is totally adorable even without the filters, especially for 46!

Sucks, bruh* 

*bruh = both of them. 

She's so ridiculous. She filters the shit out of her pictures but they
Face Time all the damn time so he knows what she looks like! Even with her magic ring light.

That her entire home is a shrine to this sleaze is really troubling. I'm glad her kids are grown up so that no younger kids are dragged into this (Looking at you, Molly).

Avery. Oh my god. She is in for a world of heartache. I agree that she is looking for structure. She also wants to shock. Because she's 19 years old and is dying to define herself and stand out. In other times she might have joined the Millerites or a Utopian community or the Shakers; run off to San Francisco to the hippies, become a Scientologist or joined the Children of God. She could have started wearing all black and become a Pagan or a Wiccan. She picked Islam because it is probably more shocking and off putting to her (probably conservative) family than Santeria. I doubt strongly that she goes to the mosque every Friday and prays 5 times a day. (though she probably does, ostentatiously, when her folks are home). On the one hand I understand her wish to find meaning and a deeper spiritual connection. On the other I want to shake her and lock her in her room. I agree with others here that she is a perfect mark and I hope she comes out of this safely.

I agree with the poster who has little pity for Caesar, he is a nice looking man who works with lots of woman, he doesn’t need to go looking in the Ukraine. He’s looking for someone out of his league. The fact that Ukranian are as well known for their scams as Nigerian men, should be a clue but he doesn’t want to see it.

Heh. "Maria" is a hairy guy in his 40's named Oleg. The blond "Maria" is some actress who's on his payroll. And Caesar deserves whatever he gets. He's a nice guy, nice looking, and he has a good job. He could meet women. But he wants a porn star.  He could have set his sights on a woman like Alla, attractive and kind, and someone who really wanted to meet someone. But no blow up doll.

"Maria" could have taught Anfisa a thing or two.

So Tom tells Darcy she will be too gross to look at when she gets off the plane (after a flight that's only slightly longer than a cross country flight in the US) and he will let her go somewhere to turn herself back in to a human being.  Like somehow she can't pack a toothbrush in her carry-on.  And Darcy thinks this is "romantic"?   Will she also think it is romantic when he makes her move to a hotel if she gets the flu or even a bad cold?  If he can't handle looking at her after an approximately 7 hour flight I hope they never plan a trip to Australia!

He didn't even try to put it diplomatically. "Darling, I'm going to send a driver to pick you up, so you can rest a bit and freshen up--you are sure to be exhausted after such a long flight." But no, he was just all "ew, you're going to be so gross! Take a shower! Brush your teeth! Ick!"

9 hours ago, HunterHunted said:

Had Avery's family and friends considered her conversion sincere and legitimate, they might have been more successful in discouraging her from this foolishness with her fiance in Syria. As many of us said in the anticipation thread, there are many Muslim men in America. Why hasn't she looked for friends and a relationship here? She's in Columbus OH. The Ohio State University has 4,000 undergrad students who are Muslim. Were there no youth and social groups at the mosques in the area? Four hours north of her is one of the largest Muslim communities outside of the Muslim world in and around Detroit, Dearborn, and Ann Arbor. We're not talking about 5,000 or 10,000 individuals. We're talking 100,000 individuals.

Had they treated her conversion as more than a passing fancy, they could have asked her what her imam thought. Or what her sisters' or women's group leaders thought of the relationship and marriage. They could have asked her if her mosque had any sort of pre-marital counseling and classes. Right now she's dug her heels in about her love and marriage because it's all wrapped up in her feeling judged by her family for converting.

Avery did ask them to learn some phrases in Arabic, which elicited her mother's snotty response. Avery is being defiant because she feels rootless and lacking  purpose. She doesn't seem to be in college or have any goals. It appears that her family and friends view almost everything having to do with Islam as suspect. I bet it never even occurred to her family that if she met with Muslim college students, it might encourage her to go to college. Shocking!

I concur with this. Avery wanted to shake things up, but if her family and friends had at least pretended to take her seriously, shown interest, asked questions, gone to the mosque with her even, I will bet a shiny quarter that she would have lost interest with a quickness. Does she even go to the mosque? Does she have any Muslim friends? Muslims are friendly and hospitable, does she ever go to social events within the community? I would like to know the level of her engagement with the local community. But I bet she's not very. She wants to run off to war torn Syria with her heroic dentist and nurse the wounded or something. She's a child, dazzled by some romantic notion.

I don’t feel bad for Cesar salad. He could go right down the street to the nearest church and find a good woman who’s also a great mom. She’d probably be 15lbs overweight, tired a lot from working hard so not in the mood to send half naked selfies all day, and not “Instagram ready” though. His shallow ass wants a model with the personality of a microwaved potato. So let him get played! Tired of people feeling bad for these fools that obviously only care about looks. Sorry, may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think you can fall in love with someone you’ve never met. Friends? Yes. Lust? Yeah sure. In love? Nope. You’re in love with the idea of them. True love requires face time (not the iPhone kind), in person. Caesar salad is seemingly sweet, but shallow as they come. Hope that Ukrainian takes him for all she can get. 

Oh I just get annoyed at people who are so completely delusional and so easily scammed.  One look at her pics and all you see is "cam girl" and "porn chick".  Not "soulmate".

I agree.  I sat here thinking "You're pretty, you seem to have a good personality, you have a very interesting career...what's fundamentally wrong with you that you're pursuing this bullshit relationship?"  Then the camera started showing all of the dude's images on coffee mugs and all over her walls and counters, and I had my answer.  

And those filters?  "I like to use the filter that just makes me look a little...prettier."

Out of all of Maria's many many many suitors, the one that has no chance with her is the one who rides his bike to work, clips coupons, and has to borrow money from his boss. Even his explanation about why he sent her $800 a month made no sense. He said the US dollar goes farther over there, which is why he sent her $800 a month. No dopey! That's why you send her $200 a month. With $800 a month, she's living nicer than Caesar's dopey ass.

What is in it for British Tom, who by the way he made me laugh with his sending a car to pick her up because she should be washed before she goes to his tent. 

I remember an episode of Seinfeld about how a ride to the airport too soon in a relationship sets a precedent and then he would always have to make airport runs, I guess he is not as invested in this relationship as much as Darcy is.

The creepy dude factor went up a couple of points this time around. I had immediate visceral reactions to the English bond wannabe, Tim the NC gunslinger (he looks like he was put together with spare parts, just all kinds of wrong in a fancy outfit) but the skeeve meter went off the charts with the appearance of nightmare on Tunisian row #8.  Slowly walking through a hall of creepy pictures, mugs, etc, of a dude with that murder stare would make a good beginning of a horror movie imo.  Dude looks like a serial killer.

He doesn’t want a “Nicole”. Even if he is in the “90” range, he has drunk the kool aid that tells him the only women worth pursuing are beautiful, hot, sexy.  I might have given him a pass at the start since his conversations didn’t seem to revolve around sex, but the chocolate panties he was packing for the Mexican vacation sealed it for me, he’s driven by lust, plain and simple.

I honestly do feel sorry for Cesar. That is just painful and he really does seem like a nice guy. You can see his clients and his boss and coworkers like him and care about him. 

I really find the  homecoming queen new Muslim girl the most fun to watch, I particularly like her knit caps to cover her hair for modesty but she wears bright red lipstick and super tight clothing.  She is ready to go to war torn Syria for her beloved because Islam just speaks to her.

The PI I mean it just seems telling that although I think she is attractive (But what's up with her hair says Moi who has horrible hair) she uses filters on her photos and face time to her beloved. And she is not yet completely cleanly divorced from her 3rd hubby. Yeah sounds good to me.

I really didn't care for the fancy car guy or his Colombian Jennifer. (Is Jennifer even a name in Colombia??)

Darcy- entertaining but unfortunate that she now has her daughters on the show as well. She is a reality junky and good for her to get cast in all these shows. She is looking really rough around the edges though and I don't know that the injectables are working as promised.  (and where does she get the money for that?)

So very happy to have this forum here.

I have as much sympathy for Caesar as I did for Ricky which comes to the grand total of zero. Anybody who is buying chocolate panties in bulk in anticipation for the arrival of a stranger, is not a sympathetic figure. He may be dim witted, but he is a dim witted sleaze bag. Much like Nicole, Danielle, Tarik, Ricky, Grangela...ok pretty much everyone on this show.

The guy from North Carolina could hang out with these two.

Holy my smoke, Caesar just described AnastasiaDate as "a very special web site."

He doesn't need a woman to live in Dreamland. He is already there.

I sure hope that website wasn’t named after that girl who was executed with her family.

Did anyone catch the picture of Caesar with a child on his fridge? Does he have children? Or an ex?

Have we ever seen a season this delusional? I don't think a single couple on here is in a remotely reciprocal relationship. The closest I can tell is Darcey and her Brit, and even that one seems doomed.

I've landed at Heathrow at 6 am. I keep some makeup in the bag, maybe a toothbrush, hairbrush, etc. Find a bathroom, wash your face and touch yourself up. If you fly a higher class, there is usually a nice lounge for you at the airport. Or you can rent a day room at a nearby hotel for a few hours (i.e. those flying to say, India, later on that day). Darcey being the international woman of mystery or whatever, should have those tools with her. Or tie her hair up in a ponytail or something.

Heathrow in particular has private lounges that any passenger can buy a pass to. I actually used one a couple of weeks ago and it was the best £40 I've ever spent. All kinds of delicious food, drinks, wifi, quiet spaces to relax, and for another £12 I got a private shower. I didn't want to leave!

Had Avery's family and friends considered her conversion sincere and legitimate, they might have been more successful in discouraging her from this foolishness with her fiance in Syria. As many of us said in the anticipation thread, there are many Muslim men in America. Why hasn't she looked for friends and a relationship here? She's in Columbus OH. The Ohio State University has 4,000 undergrad students who are Muslim. Were there no youth and social groups at the mosques in the area? Four hours north of her is one of the largest Muslim communities outside of the Muslim world in and around Detroit, Dearborn, and Ann Arbor. We're not talking about 5,000 or 10,000 individuals. We're talking 100,000 individuals.

Avery is such a textbook version of That Girl who's always getting into something and acting like it's her true identity, and then you ask her about it a year later and she's like "Mus-what? I'm a Pastafarian now, duh. And I work for PETA. Have you tried essential oils?"

That said, she did weakly mention that Omar's profile said he was in America, not Syria, so she may have at least attempted to date a Muslim closer to home first.

The Ferrari Douche has an ex-wife with Debbie-like qualities. She is cray. She still thinks he's her family.

He likes Colombians because of their family values. Uh? Like Pao's? Where do guys get these ideas?

<snip>

Douche's moral code, by his own admission, is that you have to go all out to please hot chicks. But average chicks... they can be had on the cheap and with minimal effort. Kinda like what Zied is doing with Rebecca.

I am so done with the whole "X culture is unique because it has family values" trope. Like what do they think the rest of the world does? Every culture has family values. It's how cultures persist. Some may be more reserved or have smaller families or different traditions, but acting like one country is superior because they have an overtly demonstrative version of family is silly and frankly a bit racist.

I could also live without the "pretty girls are delicate birds who must eat rainbows and clouds and the rest of you can peck French fries off the sidewalk" mentality. It's a cousin to using some variation of "beautiful" to describe why a missing or murdered child is exceptionally tragic. Gee, I guess if Kyron Horman weren't cute we wouldn't even bother looking for him, right, guys??? In conclusion, this guy is dumb.

Is it legal for someone who is not law enforcement to place a tracking device on someone else’s car?  Or does she just enjoy the thrill and not care about the consequences?

I was wondering that, too. Like @Gobi mentioned, it's probably legal if the tracker is the legal owner of the vehicle. (Maybe also the insurer?) Or it could be legal due to a loophole since privacy laws can be spotty in general.

While Darcy is not as hot as Chantel she is much better looking with more natural makeup

That film clip reminded me how haggard she looked when she was wearing minimal makeup. She’s got to find a “happy medium.”

Nothing prevents Muslim women who wear the hijab from wearing makeup or fashionable clothes. They're not supposed to show skin, as I understand it. But they don't have to wear a burlap sack.

Cesar's standing there clipping coupons for eggs whilst talking about sending Maria $800 a month.  And she sounds as delighted to hear from him on the phone as she would if someone informed her she had contracted MRSA

I haven’t had a chance to watch the whole episode yet, but when he was talking to her on the phone it sounded to me like she was trying to stifle her laughter and not crack up.

Thank goodness for you guys this Monday. Heart is heavy after the most recent tragedies. What do y’all think Darcey’s main deal is? Arrested development? BPD? Any guesses? I know it’s not PC to play armchair psychologist, but she is putting it all our there for our speculation afterall.  A co worker seems to think her unhinged messiness stems from some sorta shallow existential crisis. She is completely unrecognizable since she first graced my screen. I honestly think she does zero self improvement other than looks. Doesn’t seem to exercise either, judging from her lack of muscle tone. The endorphins would benefit her crying jags a lot imo. 

She seems to want to take the easy street with that and lay back and let a machine work her abs for her. Why bother with putting in actual effort in self improvement when you can pay someone to do it for you I guess? I bet her biggest role model is a Kardashian. The way she talks to her kids about her personal life, as if she is their friend or confidant and not their mother, was odd to watch. I think she needs the right cocktail of mood stabilizers and intensive therapy. So sad. Not even fun to watch.

Another middle aged Disney princess searching for Charming. Got news for these broads, Charming ain’t living in a castle waiting for an overweight, middle aged woman to rescue. Sorry. He’s not. Actually the type of Prince these chicks need is an average Joe with a good job, decent house, and a paid off vehicle! That’s a prince to me!

He doesn’t want a “Nicole”......he’s driven by lust, plain and simple. 

Of course not, that's a joke. 

You just described 98.5% of males on planet earth. 😉

Darcy has said both with Jesse and now with Tom....she hopes on this trip the guy proposes.  As simple as that, that's what she wants.

Of course, she means that...she lands an ideal guy and then have an ideal trouble-free life.  But it drives me nuts, when I think,.. it sounds like is she would be willing to get married and THEN see if the relationship will work out.

We all know the ideal doesn't happen on this show, and practically none 'work out' either.

Darcy belongs in an asylum.  American Horror Story season 2 kind. Better yet, make that S04.... Freak Show

I think this is one you don’t have to put a lot of thought into. Darcy simply had to find a new overseas guy quickly so she could stay on this show. So she quickly went with a guy that she already knew and could have dated a couple times ago. Her main deal is a need for attention, and appearances trump all else. She doesn’t realize that it has the opposite effect and she just looks desperate.  Her personality is partially a side effect of a string of bad decision making and reaping the seeds she sowed with delusion. She is also immature, insecure and overly emotional, and if she made better decisions she would have less to cry about. 

 I don’t see that guy as a match for her at all. She probably went with him more out of desperation and if she could have dated him before and didn’t, there was probably a reason.
