That quick scene from next week's episode where Jenny is standing over Sumit and he seems angry because she had the audacity to go out at night while he was hiding at his visiting parents house...just seems weird to me. At first I thought he sounded like he had novacaine or something because he sounded weird, like he couldn't talk correctly. Then I saw the towel over his shoulder and I think he might have been getting a shave/haircut on the street, which is very common there. But that got me wondering if she stumbled upon him on the street and realized that his parents live in the same city and he never really left their city to see them, OR if his 'friends' checked in on Jenny - aka the producer brought them to her place and paid them to be on camera and say the words she told them to say (because it cannot be said enough, the producers of this show suck at their job and it's beyond obvious when they stage shit), and they told her "Sumit is getting a shave/haircut over there, do you want us to take you to him?" So she confronts him and they get into it on the street.

I mean, I'm guessing here based on a snippet of scene and how badly this show is run...anyone with me on this theory, or should I take a seat and contemplate 'what a blow this show is to me' by myself...???

I started this season curious to know what Aladin wanted from this older looking lady and have learned she calls the country Guitar, wore shorts in public, brought a sex toy with her and thinks she’ll change thousands of years’ culture and tradition with powerful handshakes.  And this is after marrying him to boink him nine days in.  You can’t make this stuff up. 

And she is deathly afraid of doves.

Is there such a thing as wearing beer goggles regarding looking for a place to live?

So, what I don't understand is why Evelin and Kreeny coddle their mama-boys by speaking English to them, especially Evelin.  Like, boyfriend, you have to speak Spanish/Portuguese. Period.  So don't speak to him in English.  He'll either sink or swim.  Why didn't Pole understand the very simple question Mamacita asked him..."How's it going?"   You need a translation for that?

Women are awesome and just as deserving of safety, respect, and power as men.  But I know that not all parts of the world feel that way.  So, I'd do my research first, see how women were expected to behave in a particular place, and decide if it were something I were comfortable doing. 

Exactly. There are cultural differences that have to be regarded. It puzzles me to no end that so many of these women (and men, like the Mormon guy) who think it will fly to be the "edgy American" who barges in and insists on disregarding these cultural expectations.

In India, there are areas where people throw their trash in the street and shit in public. Would that fly on Main Street, USA? Nope.  Could I go to my local grocery store dressed like the women of some native African tribes, topless or perhaps engage in sex out in the open? Not going to happen.

These people need to flip the roles in their minds and be more realistic. So Laura, cover up. Jenny, respect the fact that Sumit needs to be deferential to his parents. Cory, eat the worm.

Sumit/Jenny---why these old ladies (jenny/Laura)  go marry these young guys in countries where women have few rights---And Sumit CATFISHED HER and lied, and she was still so desperate she stuck around---nd whats worse INDIA where women have no rights- or little rights---and then wonder why he runs home when daddy says "come home"---they obviously do not understand the culture.  Yet- she is so desperate- or is getting paid a lot- or something to stay- because I can't figure out why she doesn't get on the first plane home.  She needs to stay home and meet a guy in his 60s not an indian guy young enough to be her son.   She will be constantly disappointed and hurt.

Probably because it's hard to date when you're in your 60's, when men that age are looking for women UNDER 60.

These women want love, just like everybody else, but in this society people think that if you're over 50 you're dead, it's over, you're over the hill.  No wonder these women look for men outside of the US.

It isn't just Islam you know that's funny about shaking hands with women the man isn't related to.  I had an online female friend from Israel, and when we met and she introduced me to her husband, I went all-out USA where generally the woman initiates the hand-shake, and he quailed and actually took a step back.  His wife whispered "He doesn't shake hands with women."  I was a little insulted (and ignorant, obs) and wished she'd mentioned that a little sooner.

Ditto Theravada Buddhism. In Thailand, Buddhist monks are not supposed to touch women, not even brush up against them. I am always appalled and surprised when on a river boat and I see gaggles of tourists and the foreign women - standing there in shorts and sleeveless shirts, boobs out - don’t know to move aside so the monks can get down into the boat. It’s easy to google ‘local customs’ and ‘dos and donts’ of a place BEFORE you go, yet most people don’t give a shit and don’t do that. It’s like the American or Australian who complains that they can’t get any good food in a foreign country because there aren’t any steak and buger places. I wish these sort of people - including the idiots on this show - would have their passports revoked and just stay home FFS.

I think there is a lot of truth to that but not every man is that way.  My hubby and I married when we were both 52, we met again as adults when we were 46.  (We were childhood friends.) I can honestly say that if I was not with him, he would not be looking for 20 something or a 30 something wife, he would go about ten years younger.

Preach it sister! I have an old student who is probably in his 30's. He recently told me he met an 'elderly American lady' who remembered me and wanted to get in touch...turns out it was a friend of mine who's not more than 60 if that!

I disagree! When hubs and I married, I was 60 and he was 52. I had asked him just why (since is was/is a hottie), he wasn't dating some 20 to 30 yr old. His answer? "Cause eventually, you have to actually TALK to them....." .

So how do Pole and Kreeny pay for stuff?  Doesn't Pole know that $1150 a month for that "fancy" house has to come from somewhere?  Even the $260 for the "dump" has to come from somewhere every month.  So Kreeny has online sugar daddies or sugar mamas to pay the rent?  How does Pole not know this?  And, I hate to say this but I will: pregnancy is not agreeing with Kreeny.  She looks bloated and dull, so I don't know how she can figure into someone's online fantasies right now.  And on another couple: Jenny and Sumit are both sad sacks who deserve each other.  Sumit looks a lot older than 36, so I think they present themselves as a not ridiculous couple, unlike Aladin and Frowsy Blonde Lady.  Yes, he acts like a teenager who can't speak truth to Mom and Dad, but he looks like he could be a grandfather now.

I’m used to seeing our Ugly Americans not doing any research on the other country, but Laura seems like she doesn’t even watch this show. Her segment was like a 90 Day Fiancé Greatest Hits!

Excellent point. I can imagine a woman kicking up a stink if they are expected to cover up while living in a modern culture, but for Laura to act insulted has got to be fodder for tv. Your added information that she is Canadian is KILLING me as I do not want any association with her at all, lol. She's an idiot; especially so if she thinks it's okay (for one minute) to wear shorts over there, to not cover up, yet be outside, for Ramadan, and to even balk because she can't initiate shaking hands. I too was offended by her bringing a HUGE toy (??) and announcing to the world he isn't any good. I just don't believe these two are truly a couple in love because I just don't see behaving this way as 'loving'.

I think Karine would be better off in the rental she likes (that Paul could afford if he has to return home). I also hope he does get sent home because she could do so much better, and I have a sinking feeling that he does not share any of $$ they receive for doing the show. He still can't speak or understand her language even though we're in year 3 of him being in her country? Paul is not a nice partner, and he clearly has psychological and esteem issues. To want a DNA test because she received a text while 8 months pregnant? She needs to kick him to the curb. I cannot stand this idiot.

So it isn't that women don't have power in the family or workplace -- we do but the way we navigate may look different due to cultural complexities.

India has many progressive views, however, the general view of women in public, especially women wearing what they want rather than what men deem respectable, is still justified in cases of attack/rape. As long as women are not safe because of what they wear, the country isn't that advanced re: womens' rights.

Much like Jenny's view that Sumit's family, and the entire country of India, should just "get over" thousands of years of tradition and accept her relationship immediately.

If I was Sumit's mother, I wouldn't want him with Jenny at all. Sumit is 30, and I would hope he would have some children. If Jenny said he could use a surrogate to have children and she would raise them using the Indian culture as a guide, I may rethink it. But otherwise, no... She's 60 - too old.

Really? They have seen each other enough times that I am quite content this is his child. And yes, her child appears feral, but I am sure the little rotter picked up on the fact that mom was not going to take any chance on disciplining the tot since she has no idea how his parents view discipline. They were very kind and gracious in spite of everything so I have to say I have moderate hopes for this couple. If mom and dad can deal with them, I as a viewer can deal with them.

Tiffany was a beautiful bride. It’s nice to see a flattering, non stripper wedding dress these days. And yes, Ronald looks like that dumbass Ryan Lochte. 

Karine is so slow looking. Like she has the metabolism of a sloth. Neither parent is attractive, but Pole’s sharp features melded with Karine’s potato face may give their child a chance. Unless of course Pole is Not! The Father!

No cares about Evelyn and what’s his name. Clearly faking their drama.

A lot of women of a certain age decide to cut their hair in a manner that makes care super easy but may be less than flattering.  Also white or grey hair can be quite beautiful (check out Emmylou Harris or Margo Timmins) so unnatural dye jobs that are not age appropriate can be off-putting.

I agree with @Spike - I am 54 but I believe I could pass for 44, truthfully.  I do not have a the standard short haircut that many older woman have, my hair is long and a medium blond but NOT like Jenny - I actually style my hair and it is NOT stringy and.....ew.  Never been a smoker and use sunscreen, Oil of Olay is my nighttime friend, along with a glass of Malbac.  Hey - maybe I am pickling myself to stay young!!!  In the interest of full disclosure, I have my hair color treated as naturally, at this point, I have to be gray.

The whole complex was surrounded by an electrified fence.  That may be more to avoid burglaries during the day when people are at work.  That’s when most burglaries occur here too.

It seemed like the leasing agent was smirking when she said that because Tiffany was being overly dramatic.  Tiffany isn’t that far from DC and Baltimore, so she must be somewhat familiar with crime.

Tiffany lives in Frederick which doesn't have a lot of crime, unlike DC and Baltimore.  I also live in Frederick, and even though I recognize there's crime in DC and Baltimore (both cities take me over an hour to get to) it would still shock me to move somewhere with that much crime.

A lot of women of a certain age decide to cut their hair in a manner that makes care super easy but may be less than flattering.  Also white or grey hair can be quite beautiful (check out Emmylou Harris or Margo Timmins) so unnatural dye jobs that are not age appropriate can be off-putting.

Totally agree!  And I have always loved Emmylou's hair.  What a gorgeous woman!

I am just glad there is no outward judgement of me overthinking Paul and Karine.  

I agree with @Spike - I am 54 but I believe I could pass for 44, truthfully.  I do not have a the standard short haircut that many older woman have, my hair is long and a medium blond but NOT like Jenny - I actually style my hair and it is NOT stringy and.....ew.  Never been a smoker and use sunscreen, Oil of Olay is my nighttime friend, along with a glass of Malbac.  Hey - maybe I am pickling myself to stay young!!!  In the interest of full disclosure, I have my hair color treated at a salon as naturally, at this point, I have to be gray.

Women who are clearly gray but dye their hair black or dark brown - that is rough because it really ages them.

I don’t see why people think they are married just  Because he’s wearing a ring?  My brother wears a ring like that,he’s not married.  I have a few friends that have been with their guys for a long time and they wear rings on that finger. Not married. 

Lot of people wear rings these days as a way to show they are “taken” 

I would also think even if they *were* married, the producers would see that ring and make him ditch it.  So I'm guessing ring is just a ring.
