configdotsys August 13, 2019 Share August 13, 2019 It drove me insane every time Jenny spoke to any of the locals. She put on this fake accent/voice as if by talking to them like that would magically make them understand her or vice versa. The way she said "don't take me to the wrong place" or whatever to the rickshaw guy in the street sounded like she was talking to a child. That is something that just makes me crazy. I can't figure out Summit. He doesn't seem like a con artist to me, which of course could make him the best con artist ever. If he has a wife and kids, why was he looking online and hooked up with a 60 year old gal and actually encouraged her to move there. He is willing to be seen in public with her as long as it is nowhere near his parents. I just don't get it. I though he might be gay as well but then you'd expect that he hooked up with Jenny so his parents could see he is "not" gay and think "Well, at least he's with someone." Jihoon seems like a good guy but call me cynical. I have many friends whose husbands were all mush and goo after their kid was born and it was short lived. Once the real work of getting up, changing diapers and essentially just sitting home all the time waiting for the baby to need you and all bets were off and the mushy goo went away. Godzilla was very quiet in her scenes so maybe we just caught her on a very bad day with her frazzled, neurotic mother at the airport. Although her behavior when Jihoon's parents were there was horrific as well. We'll see. I like how Ronald said, "I'm not working now but [I plan to] work at the Wellness Center." He seems to think that because he went through the program that that somehow qualifies him to treat and counsel people on their addictions? Please. I would guess that having someone out of rehab so soon even just chatting about experiences with a new, incoming addict would be very dangerous because the "graduate" is still in a very precarious situation. Just because you finish whatever time you have there does not mean you are fully fixed and ready to take on everything. It was good that he was able to walk out of the casino, but did he walk out of there with white knuckles? How many people who give up drinking think they are in the clear if they go to a single party and are able to stick with seltzer or cola? I just don't see how he would qualify for any job there. Tiffany is a moron. That is all. The badge of honor real estate people trying to look badass were all too familiar to me growing up in NYC and knowing some of the types that @Neurochick and @Pepper Mostly mentioned who essentially "brag" about being from a big, bag place as if that's some sort of badge of honor. Karine is just a filthy looking, gross pig. As is Paul.

sainte-chapelle August 13, 2019 Share August 13, 2019 (edited) Paul is a classic abuser and manipulator. His reactions are to blame Karine when confronted with the truth about himself. "You want me to leave? You want a divorce? See how you make me react?" I fully believe he stalked his Ex and threatened her.

cynic August 14, 2019 Share August 14, 2019 Karine and Paul are both terrible. He's terrible for obvious reasons, but I do feel like Karine is being unfair in at least one way. She keeps accusing him of not wanting to work, but he's legally unable to have a legit job and I don't see that area as having a lot of jobs period much less jobs for an illegal worker with zero skills. He can't even swing a hammer! Plus, he's emotionally unstable, socially inept, and not that bright. He's a mess and he'll likely never be able to properly support a family no matter what country he's in. But she picked him! She chose to have a baby with him even after meeting him in person! He didn't exactly hide his crazy. She should hope that he goes home and sends whatever little money he can earn or maybe send the baby to Grandma if she is willing to raise him. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/96399-s01e12-baby-come-back/page/3/#findComment-5524598

She put on this fake accent/voice as if by talking to them like that would magically make them understand her or vice versa. The way she said "don't take me to the wrong place" or whatever to the rickshaw guy in the street sounded like she was talking to a child. That is something that just makes me crazy. I can't figure out Summit. He doesn't seem like a con artist to me, which of course could make him the best con artist ever. If he has a wife and kids, why was he looking online and hooked up with a 60 year old gal and actually encouraged her to move there. He is willing to be seen in public with her as long as it is nowhere near his parents. I just don't get it. I though he might be gay as well but then you'd expect that he hooked up with Jenny so his parents could see he is "not" gay and think "Well, at least he's with someone." Jihoon seems like a good guy but call me cynical. I have many friends whose husbands were all mush and goo after their kid was born and it was short lived. Once the real work of getting up, changing diapers and essentially just sitting home all the time waiting for the baby to need you and all bets were off and the mushy goo went away. Godzilla was very quiet in her scenes so maybe we just caught her on a very bad day with her frazzled, neurotic mother at the airport. Although her behavior when Jihoon's parents were there was horrific as well. We'll see Expand Godzilla was quiet because she realized she was no longer the centre of attention and hoping Jihoon would take her back to his parents. She seemed to like Father Jihoon. Sumit has realized Jenny is not wealthy nor is she his ticket to a green card...now he has to figure how to get out of his mess.

Frozendiva August 14, 2019 Share August 14, 2019 Jihoon is not likely to stick around longterm. He's only really there out of guilt and obligation. Maybe he and Deavan will fall in love - eventually. There isn't much there except the kid. What do they have in common? I doubt that he wants an insta-family of four. He can barely support himself. He made a very costly mistake. I do agree with the poster who said that few of the folks on the show live alone - always with someone else - friend, family member, etc. Few are independent. Granted, the independent sorts would survive going to a foreign country - they have some life skills and experience and are willing to adapt. They won't be needy, they won't be controlling, and won't be anyone's burden. Unless things change, Tiffany has made one bad decision that has snowballed to a snowball of many bad decisions. Most folks have some sort of addiction - food, TV, shoes, alcohol, etc. Ronald is just a bad choice - for now - and comes with a lot of baggage that she is ill-equipped to deal with. I probably wouldn't marry a dude who got out of rehab a week ago, has no prospects for any job, I have no prospects for a job, I have a preteen kid already, I have no money to tide us all over for 6 months. No guarantee that Ronald won't fall off the wagon within 6 months. And talk about bringing a baby in to this mess? Um, nope. Karine has seen what Paul really is and is probably regretting the offspring. He is not going to give her the life she wants and she is clearly seeing the level of his dysfunction. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/96399-s01e12-baby-come-back/page/3/#findComment-5524645

RealReality August 14, 2019 Share August 14, 2019 Did jenny just try to basically blackmail sumit into coming home by threatening to get raped and assaulted? What the hell? And I think sumit wasn't playing around. Jenny had a camera crew with her but it looked that that night street scene was 97% male. There were maybe two women and one of them was walking with a man. That made me do a double take. I'm also confused as to how she spent months in India with sumit and his family and didn't see how people caught a ride. Are women normally ignored by the drivers? And then I thought it was weird that she went to an employment agency expecting everyone to speak English, but then I saw that the jobs were written in English outside the door, so that was interesting. Also, if she can't catch a ride and doesn't know the area how is she getting to work? 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/96399-s01e12-baby-come-back/page/3/#findComment-5524731

Like Ronald and Tiffany, they had a home with parents, and while they may have longer to have their own place, neither couple was in any position to house-hunt. Of course, neither couple was in any position to procreate, either. And now that I think of it, Deaven's pressing Jihoon about affording an apartment--she had some shitty remark about he had nine months to save money for them (does she know what he does for a living?)--probably was a producer's idea, too. And I want to me too the Family Jihoon's fan club. Deaven doesn't deserve them. Expand Devan is so joyless. And all the histrionics. Welcome to your new life jihoon. You will be expected to do everything and devan will endlessly complain about how hard her life of letting jihoons mother raise her kids is and how many sacrifices she has made though I still don't know what work she has ever done besides catfish naive guys. I don't understand why devan would even want her own place. I know for sure she is going to try to dump her kids on jihoons mother.

Expand I go back and forth with karine because I wonder if Paul didn't sell her a bill of goods pre-pregnancy and she bought it in spite of all the red flags because she was desperate. She knew about things in his past, but did she really know it would mean that he couldn't sponsor her in the US? These relationships are transactional. There cannot possibly be any woman domestically that want to get involved with Paul. Not because of his looks, but it's just everything. Can you imagine a date with Paul? OMG. A second date? And he probably couldn't afford to go anywhere because he was making poop shovelling money. So he would need like a sugar momma. I can't even envision who that woman would be. So for Paul, karine was punching way above his weight class. So she traded her relative good looks and youth for a chance to come to America. But now she is pregnant and stuck with Paul, because karine will never be pretty enough to get a guy to care for her and Paul's child. The type of guy that travels overseas for a wife is generally not looking for the one who already has a mouth to feed. These guys are doing their relationship math, and they know it's a buyers market. Unless karine was smoking hot or had an amazing personality, she is stuck with Paul. If I had unknowingly traded my one commodity and ended up buying the Brooklyn bridge I might be annoyed too. I'd bet she is sending random american men old pictures and videos of her. And they have no idea that she is pregnant. 1 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/96399-s01e12-baby-come-back/page/3/#findComment-5524794

Pole is so obviously slow-witted, with zero sense of humor, intelligence, or knowledge of, well, anything, that he is painful to watch as he puts on that aggrieved "attempt at deep thinking" face. Kareeenie is a pathetic sap who thought "American" meant "moneyed." Jenny is a deluded senior citizen of whom Sumit, IMO, is one phone call short of telling her he's "Jason from Microsoft." Sumit is that rara avis, an unambitious Indian. Jihoon looks like Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. But at least he's not demanding a DNA test on the baby. Deavan gave birth alone. Maybe this whole 90 Days thing should have been resolved prior to a pregnancy.
