Akinyi  has some pretty provocative photos on the internet!  I wonder how preacher man daddy and bully brother feel about that spread!

She said that a coworker is Muslim and after talking to them she decided she wanted to convert.

Thanks, I must have dozed off and missed that bit of info.  Too bad the co-worker didn't introduce her to a nice Muslim boy in Ohio.

Rebecca is acting like a weirdo! She's already been married to a Tunisian love rat, so why is she so awkward and childish now? She should be familiar with the culture and have an idea how to act. 

There are lots in Hotlanta, which isn't quite as hot today, but still is hot.

Is there a backstory as to why Rebecca is so interested in Middle Eastern men?   I thought Zeid's sister was rude, but I think she was asking some of the questions that she, her parents, and we snarksters want answers for.   After seeing the scene with the cat,  I will look with suspicion at all the boxes when I am at the farmers' market.

I'm glad I didn't see the cat scene - because I thought whatever she was cooking looked delicious.  

I don't think weim was any ruder than Rebecca silently looming over her as she was cooking.  I'd probably be a little annoyed if someone was towering over me silently a foot away from the stove.  I think Rebecca maybe tried to say something but it was awkward and weird.  

Also, the constant "I don't knows" is ridiculous.  She didn't know what she loved about zied....she couldn't even make something up?  Damn.

Low rent Colin Firth Sloth and Darcy-  Good God!  I am actually liking Tom; he probably is looking for love and decided to give Darcy a try.  He got so much more than he bargined for; good for him for not abandoning her in Albania and just taking off during the night.  The twin fight was beyond stupid; Stacy has something Darcy wants badly; Stacy dangles it in front of Darcy and Darcy gets hurt and cries and clings to Tom.  It's like what happens in 8th grade when your friend gets a boyfriend and you are left in the cold.  Florian is so not like his pics but he seems to be a good guy so far- I mean he puts up with Stacy and they actually seem to like one another, he tries to be a friend to Tom when Darcy is acting cray, he hasn't treated Darcy with contempt yet.  I'd rather watch Stacy and him.

Stacy knows what she is doing and it sucks that she is doing it to her sister.  

Don't dim your shine for anyone, I get it, but maybe stacy could have toned it down a bit knowing how sensitive Darcy is about getting married and that she is with someone she is trying to form a relationship with.  

Stacy just felt mean spirited.  I get it, and I agree, Darcy is desperate and will basically marry anyone or anything.  But damn, why purposefully push Darcy's buttons when you know she is going to end up in tears and looking like an emotional nutcase?  

Darcy is jealous of Stacy.  Stacy should feel pity for Darcy, not do whatever she can to get under Darcy's skin.  However Darcy is also at fault for agreeing to go to Albania instead of that island.  Tom should make a run for the hills asap. 

[doyouevengohere]

So true; but Darcy may have been the meanspirited twin in the past over things and Stacy is just paying her back?  who knows or wants to know with these two?  Darcy needs to get herself into therapy and stop doing tit for tat with her twin.

And exposed the whole business. I find it funny she sounded tired of him. Maybe 5 years was just too long to scam this guy? Maybe she is used to them wising or giving up a heck of a lot sooner. Or running out of money?

Can you imagine how exhausting those 5 years of scamming had to have been?  I can't even imagine.  Talk about high maintenance.  A typical day for "Maria" probably consisted of getting at least 1 text every hour from Cesar (and having to deal with the other "fish"):

"Good morning, my love."

"I'm getting in the shower now, baby."

"I'm out of the shower now, getting dressed, and going to work.  Why haven't you answered me?"

"I just got to work, baby, and you still haven't answered me.  Is everything okay?"

"I'm on my first customer of the day and still haven't heard back from you."

"I bought a stack of chocolate panties to bring you when we meet, baby.  Are you there?"

"I added another $8.57 to my plane ticket fund so I can come see you.  Why aren't you answering me, baby?"

"Baby, I just sent you $100 to buy yourself something pretty."

MARIA (finally):  Thank you, husband (followed by a string of kissy emojis).

I mean, trying to keep the imbecile happy so he keeps sending money, but having to deal with that shit all day would exhaust anybody.  

I wonder how often they transferred him to another "Maria" so the scammers could get a break from him.

I'll say one thing.  If he's as much of a clinger as I suspect he is, that company earned every last penny he sent.  Yikes!

Angela nd Mycull probably wrote out a script of what their storyline would be- Angie is mad that women exist around Mycull and Mycull brings cake and Angie smashes Mycull's face in the cake.

They had to be careful to film that in "one take." 

As far as Zied and the hookah bars, don't people have hookah pipes to smoke at home? 

And the thing with Ben and the Air BnB. Could it be that he sent Akinyi money to rent a place for him to stay in, then found out when he got there that he was staying at Fidel's house? If so, what happened to the money? If not, I hope he at least got his deposit back.

I've always pictured a call center where several men sit around computers and field texts from all the clients they are catfishing. A text comes in from Caesar and everyone groans, whose turn is it to play Maria and deal with him today? "Okay, Igor, you're the new guy. There's a bonus in it if you can convince him to send $ 400 worth of flowers!"

Considering the sister's level of English, Rebecca could have said all kinds of things in response and gotten away with it.  "I love your brother because of all the tchotchkies he has promised me, and his way with lap-dogs.  I've never met a man who could locate Orion as fast as Zied, and that has made my knees buckle with love for him."

These people don't think on their feet very well.  You'd think after the first awkward encounter with a family member they'd have armed themselves with answers for the next time.

Rebecca was so uncomfortable and nervous, why didn't she just go sit at the table? She made her scrunchy face practically the entire time. She's no private investigator with those tells. And why hasn't this rich American bought Ziad a few pants and shirts that actually fit him? And what's with her spilling the beans about her girl love?

It's crossed my mind a few times that she herself isn't really a PI, but rather she subcontracts out to install the tracking devices on vehicles which pretty much only requires making sure no one is actually in said vehicle and the ability to kneel down and slap that device on the underside of the car.

Anything beyond that and she'd probably be in over her empty head.

In the scene of Rebecca and Zied at the restaurant, dare I say Zied looked almost handsome! His hair wasn't oily! I feel sorry for the guy.

RE: "Maria"- I thought that Caesar had sent her $$ for the plane ticket "so she can book her flight as she sees fit." I'm sure she was instructed to only accept $$ and not plane tickets (traceable). So if the account was over drafted thereby rendering the plane ticket "cancelled," it would be over drafted from "Maria's" end, right? I guess she liquidated the entire acct before dumping ole Caesar. 

I can't get mad at Angela and Maykull bc that whole "relationship" is a work one between two actors playing a part for TV. The "abuse " is just bc hiring a stunt double for Maykull would break the 4th wall.

Darcy's sister got the worse end of the plastic surgery. Tom gets worse looking each time I see him for some reason. 

Avery and her mom go tit for tat. They try to out-sass each other at every turn.  But the mother has enabled Avery and now it's too late to ask the hard hitting questions. Like she said "he found someone. You're here." Yup.

Rebecca seems oddly subdued. I'm thinking she is medicated on some level. Her facial expressions don't really change. She is so...even... the entire time. Anyone have an opinion here? I feel I'm the only one who sees it. Not just lack of answers beyond "I don't know" but also just facial expressions or lack thereof. I WISH Zied would get some clothing that fits. And both would find jackets that aren't tacky faux leather. 

RE: Tim & Jennifer- just the prior episode or earlier this one (I forget which), I was thinking how the two of them would have ugly kids together. Later on, he says "we would make beautiful babies together."  I think they're both kind of odd looking. If Jen didn't have a good body , there wouldn't be anything of interest there IMO. She needs to take the bottle away from daughter. She's too big for it. Odd how Tim has "ex's" coming out of his ears. I think all his relationships are transactional and he was the walking ATM machine. Didn't realize the "not meant to be fired" custom gun business was a-boomin'.

Caesar sent Maria money for the ticket...which she then said she needed for getting herself ready for the trip.  So he then bought her the ticket himself.

To be honest, I felt like Tom was Lebroning his lovemaking injury to begin with. What kind of ankle problem makes someone scream in pain when a boob touches it? Even if they’re not real, I would assume there aren’t blocks of tungsten carbide in there.

[HorrrGoodnight]

Poor begging ass Caesar. "It's over?? So basically just take another flight" Uhhh no Sweetums that's not how this works. I wonder why Svetlana (Maria) decided to give it up. Surely he still had at least 2 more nickels to rub together.

I have had a few guys in my past who could not let it go and it was never uncomfortable, but it seemed difficult, at times, to say "Look, it is over!!  I just don't dig you!!!"  But Caesar is such a stage five clinger (we need to set him up with Darcy) that it is painful to watch and to listen to as well.

Darcy probably thought that if Tom could see how happy Florian was with Stacy (who is practically her) at the place they got engaged that he would think it's totally worth it to propose to her as well.  Instead, Tom is frantic and thinking of ways to fake his own death to get out of seeing her again once this trip is over.

At this point, I think Tom is past faking his own death, the real thing is probably looking like his best option.

Yes, he borrowed $2000 from his boss (yeah, that is ALWAYS a good idea.)  I also watched the rerun of the scene where he Western Union'd the money to her:  He clearly states that he sent the money to her for her to buy her own ticket "as she sees fit."  Where was such a sucker when I was young???

Wasn't that the money he sent for a ticket then she said she needed her hair, teeth, nails, etc. done and he told her to keep it for those purposes. Then HE supposedly booked her 32 hour cheap flight.

When we were young, men like Cesear were boring and sad. Also, living in the same country as a clinger like him would be too exhausting. That post/ picture claiming he's checking for white girls says everything about him, just a creep.

I could take a wild guess that many North African young men (west of Egypt) are actively hunting for middle aged Western women to somehow improve their own station in life. Similar to how easy it is for women like that to find a man in Jamaica or the DR, or for Western men to find a young lady in Thailand. And so, I would guess that this is region where Becky will find lots of men very eager to date/marry her.
