She’s morbidly obese and a smoker.  He may not have long to wait for fatherhood.

And anger issues which could lead to a stroke,  So in his culture/country, your wife can't give you one, you find a girl that can.  Seems to me that if you are dating a woman who is north of 50 (far north to me) you should mention this to her at the starting gate?  "I am an AMERICAN, MI-KHULL!!!  I WILL NOT PLAY THAT!!!"  Well then find yourself a financially vulnerable guy in Georgia to exploit and abuse date.

That Homer Simpson gut of his would completely cover whatever is left of the expired, rotten milk duds on the exterior and interior of that contraption. 

I’m going to table my theory that Tim is a eunuch, a virgin, or a smooth plastic crotch Ken Doll. I think it’s possible that he could have an incurable STD. If that’s the case, he definitely needs to be upfront and honest with Jennifffer and let her decide if she’d like to continue seeing him. Regardless, this “I just don’t want my heart broken again,” excuse is sounding all the more ridiculous for this nearly 40-year-old man who is picking up women in foreign countries off the Internet.

All I see when I look at Benjamin are his sweaty bangs. I can’t fault Akinyi for not wanting to be a stepparent. I personally don’t date dads either. Just my preference. And at her age, she certainly shouldn’t feel like she has to. But I wouldn’t continue communicating with someone and definitely wouldn’t let them fly thousands of miles to meet me and my family before telling them that. She seems really immature for her age and I think being a PK (preacher’s kid) might have something to do with that. Most PKs I know are a weird combination of rebellious and stunted.

For all that primping Starcey did, I thought they were going to an actual nightclub. They were in a little bar that looks like it hosts book signings. Everyone in the background looked super casual while Starcey clawed at each other in their Studio 54 get up. Florian’s cape made him look all the more ghoulish. Like a Millennial Hipster Dracula.

Yeah it could just be herpes.  Maybe he views himself as damaged goods.  Or maybe he had an outbreak while in Colombia and doesn’t want her to see it.

I have seen that with cops’  kids as well.  Their parents get them out of trouble so they think they can do whatever they want.

When Jon and Fern divorced he withdrew his affidavit of support, so he wouldn't have to pay her way.

So if they can just withdraw it later, what’s the point of having to do it initially?  I remember Coltee mentioning doing the same thing.

So many of them make a big deal out of who will be on the hook for the 10 years that I’m confused why, if it can just be revoked.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with how deep into the process you are.  For example, Chantel and Pedro are done processing, he has his green card, she'd be financially responsible.  While Ashley never filed the change of status on Jay, so she can withdraw the paperwork, and not be financially responsible.  But that's a guess on my part.

All the couples seem to file different things at different times.

[Kangatush]

Damn it, I actually feel bad for Darcey this week.  The "club" scene was all three of the others bullying her.  The only thing she did wrong was wear that dress.

Yep.  In an earlier episode, she told him she doesn't like to talk about things like her feelings and why she might be upset.  Now, after making him jump through hoops to get approval, she shows up and tells him her dad doesn't know she is staying at Air BnB with him.  Like that couldn't blow up in their faces.  Maybe it's a set-up, dad catches them and says Ben has ruined his daughter and needs to pay up...

I had thought the same thing.  I thought I was the only one.  I don't think it would blow up in THEIR faces as much as it would blow up in HIS face.

I agree, she is very immature for her age.  It is like she wants to get hammered with Ben as her parents don't allow her to drink.  I would have been out of there once she said, "Don't make me talk abou things, I can't talk about things." Okay, so when we have a conflict are you going to mime it?  Draw it via Win Lose or Draw?  If she is unsure about being a stepmother, that is valid but she should have expressed that to Ben BEFORE all this started, and Ben should have responded with "Okay, cool, I wish you well."  Being a parent or stepparent is never easy.

I don’t mean to be crude, but does she not have nipples? What is going on there? Does this explain why Tom was wincing in pain when her breasts touched his injured ankle?

[sonder]

I’m confused. Darcey does annoy me. But the club scene? Stacey was being so extra and annoying. Tom then blamed Darcey for the interactions. They were all ridiculous but I was on Darcey’s pitiful side. Maybe I missed something?

If your boyfriend borrows money from you to buy you a ring, nope!!!

Ben needs to stop clutching his pearls- she'd probably already had one or two before they showed her getting crunk on three sips of a margarita, but still?  When he said one was enough and she didn't need anymore, he can just GTFO with that BS.  I liked her better when she was drunk.  Girl has a sense of humor hiding under that PK baby-voice!  

I actually felt sorry for Darcey.  There were all trashed, and the way they all piled on Darcey with Stacey gleefully pushing every button was so sad.  The napkin on the stilettos was every girl coming out of the Tiki Bob's bathroom when I was in my 20s (20s- not 50s, lol), and that was gold.

ANGELA CAN TOTE!  And she's got ONE AY-UGH! Good lord, it's so embarrassing when women don't understand their own bodies.  One egg means you will not have anything to tote, ya wrinkled bag of cigarette ash.   It means that that one egg, which has been in your ovary for over 50 years during which you punished your body with smoking, drinking, hollerin' and God knows what else, is the only one left in your body out of thousands.  It's the Highlander of eggs.  You are too old, Grangela, and you know it.  

Can't this show be done with Cesear?  I'm so over his fake storyline.

Jenniffer was AMAZING this week- she let him have it, and he deserved every word.  He is a pussy.  They need to just be done with each other- they clearly aren't into each other physically, mentally, emotionally.  

All this time, I was worried about Avery in Syria... when I really should have been worried about Omar- he is now the recipient of all the angst that was once directed at Mom Avery.  Hope he likes the bed that he has made.

I think Wiem got all the sense between the two siblings- Zied didn't even consider that there was anything wrong with purchasing a ring with Rebecca's money until his sister said something.  I could practically see the lightbulb going off behind his eyes.  I did NOT like the way his hand was around her neck when he was saying how angry he was in next week's preview.  

[Dobian]

What we learned this week:

Akini is a more fun drunk than Darcey

Angela has one egg left out of about four hundred produced in her adult life, and it's pickled in whiskey and the smokey color of a Camel unfiltered.

Rebecca found a new thing to focus on so she can avoid telling Zied she's still married.

Meh. Omar's no babe in the woods. He had agency. He chose to pursue Avery, and to marry her. I don't think he's a bad guy, because I don't think acting in one's self interest makes a person bad, but I do think he had a certain amount of calculation going in. And he couldn't have been completely unaware that Avery is outspoken, opinionated, and stubborn. She hasn't been hiding anything.  And now they're married and they're going to have to grow up and try to make it work. I wish them well. I am one of the few who doesn't dislike Avery. She's young, and headstrong, and will make plenty of mistakes in her life. Maybe when she's in her 30's she'll regale her friends with tales of her first marriage, and how she struggled to be a good wife in a strange country. Or maybe she and Omar will stay married, have a slew of babies, and she'll be a dentist's wife in the US, making baked goods for the local mosque's bake sale. Who knows? She seems to be sincere in her efforts to practice her new religion wholeheartedly and while I'm an atheist I respect that. I figure they have just as much chance at happiness as anyone.

[RealReality]

Agree with @Pepper Mostly that Omar is approaching this strategically.  Teri is a xenophobic, small minded beeyotch BUT she is very pushy and very motivated and cares very much for Avery.  

Omar dangling Avery's safety above Teri's head is a stroke of genius. Teri will literally do every single thing in her power to make sure Omar's Visa is approved and Avery doesn't move to Syria.  

she knows that she has zero chance of logically talking Avery out of anything so she will do what she must, hire the best attorney she can afford, write every congressperson she can find, rile up every news organization she can to get Omar's Visa approved.  

Her family will be living on the ceasar diet because Avery is stubborn and ridiculous but Teri is Omar's best chance of getting the hell out of Syria.  He just has to hope that Avery won't street dance her way into getting killed.

i saw how Omar ran after Teri when she took off.  He knows who is going to get shit done.

No one forced Darcy to drink, I can imagine if someone had suggested that she might have had a bit too much and switch to seltzer, she would have thrown a hissy fit. It was a pproblem in her relationship with Jesse...

I don’t see Darcy as a nice person, I think she’s shallow and selfish and petty. I think her drinking is out of control and has driven her few friends away. She’s left with people like her buddy who offered a gander at her cleavage to Tom.

Until she does work on herself, this cycle will continue.

Looks to me as though Avery and Omar are in for a rough time. She has romanticized Islam and has embraced the parts which appeal to her - the dress, the ritual, etc. But of course she has never wanted to be subservient to anyone, and she is about 5 minutes out from her marriage when she declares she has no intention of "being quiet" if they disagree, which he has said a wife must do. She got the same look on her face as she does whenever her mom says something she doesn't like.

As for Omar, he's been coming off pretty passive, but as soon as they were married and her mother said she didn't want Avery to go to Syria, he got this look on his face which said "I don't give a rat's ass what you think, we're doing it our way." The same look he got on his face when Avery said she wouldn't be quiet. He has no intention of letting her have her own way.

Gonna be fireworks. I don't envy either of them, most especially her.

[moonbunnychan]

I have a coworker who she and her husband are originally from Syria.  They both still have family and friends there and so they used to still go and visit them.  We used to always ask them if that was wise, seeing as how there's a war there, and she kept insisting that the war wasn't in the part she was going to and she was perfectly safe.  Well....the last time she went she found out just how quickly that can change.  She told us she was alive pretty much out of luck, as they were going door to door killing anyone they found, and they hid in a closet for several hours and somehow weren't found.  

Ben and Akini are just....totally on different maturity levels.  He's a dad, with the outlook and priorities of a dad and VERY straight laced.  She's an unburdened young woman living life and having fun.  He wants a stepmom and she isn't ready for that.

Micheal can't win.  Literally everything he says is wrong, even when he tries to dodge the bullet and say "you decide".  He must REALLY want to come to keep putting up with her.

Taking money from your girlfriend to buy her own engagement ring?  Stay classy Zied.

Darcy wanted a sexy and hot 007,  but was willing to settle for a loving though lukewarm Lord of the Manor. But she's found no sexy, no heat, no money, no love. Tom is giving her just the lukewarm, like his beer. 

Timmay seems to go for curvy women with masculine facial features. What I don't understand is why Jeniffer stays around!

I think they both got something different than they were expecting...and afaic Tom is far closer to being a "normal" human being than Darcy.  I don't have much sympathy for her.  She's a mess.   I also highly suspect that entire segment was very creatively edited to leave out a lot of stuff which caused the somewhat odd-seeming appearance of everyone piling on Darcy.

I thought that Florian was being very kind to drunk Darcey- he certainly was the only one that was even attempting to help her. Tom is definitely “normal” compared to Darcey’s histrionics, but his brand of normal is douchebag gaslighter (telling her he’d have proposed to her in Grand Canaria ruined any chance of me feeling sorry for him). 
 

Omar definitely had agency, which is why I hope he enjoys the bed he made. I do not see this marriage lasting longer than a few years (is it even considered a legal marriage)?

I caught the end of a bonus scene, wherein Darcey had hurt her foot or leg whilst walking with her ridiculous shoes. Florian was the one who helped her get into the van, and Tom just stood by and watched.
