Before The 90 Days, who watched?

[cleo29]

So many train wrecks.  I don't understand trying so hard for something when things are clearly not right (Jesse and Darcy) or not even being divorced and looking to meet a person you might be proposing to.

[lovelyshoes]

What a train wreck. The “girl” in Columbia is a dude, right? His daughter is so sweet. I feel bad for her. She seems so mature and now she has to go through this bs again.

Jessie is so odd. He can’t strand her, yet he is here. Why?!

The woman going to Africa. Omg, the trump stuff. She is completely out of her mind.

[Jalapeñomel]

I watched it last week online, so I’m assuming it’s the same.

Darcey looks like a train wreck with all that work and the severe ponytail. I’m embarrassed for her.

[cleo29]

lovelyshoes, I could not believe all the Trump crap. Also, I love how she said that all those internet scam form Nigeria are just a "rumor". Umm, nope, they are real. lol

Jalapeñomel, Darcy needs to stop. I wonder if her kids are embarrassed at all. I don't know why they are trying so hard when it is clear to everyone that they are not a good match.

[kitkat1502]

Jalapeñomel, She also draws her brows on veryyyyy long, like the end damn near touches her hairline on the side!

[VillainV]

The whole thing was cringeworthy. Which is why I can't stop watching.

[NomadicMama]

I cringed every time Darcy mentioned “working on herself”. She is clearly trying to become the person she thinks Jesse wants. It is painful to watch. I wish she were setting a stronger example for her daughters.

The 12 year old daughter, Amber, whose dad is flying to Colombia seems to have a better handle on things than her dad…who isn’t even divorced yet. How do you buy a plane ticket without an enthusiastic agreement from your “pen pal”?

Paul has not changed one bit. And it is concerning to me that the woman he intends to marry asked for stuffed animals, unicorn slippers, a unicorn onesie and sex toys. She is very young.

[Jalapeñomel]

Ok so only part one was up, so I’m now watching the second part.

I don’t know how the woman flying to Nigeria is so fucking dumb. This guy is not interested in you.

[marie]

I am intrigued by the John and Rachel story line. She seems pretty normal, and he has been paying her baby's daycare bills? Usually it seems like someone is out for money, but that does not seem to be the case. He is a good looking guy, so I wonder why he needed to go online and find a girl friend overseas? I guess time will tell on that one. I was irrationally annoyed that she fed her 7 month old baby without a bib at the restaurant, lol. She was covered in baby food!

Jesse is really pretty crappy. He is so condescending. I am guessing that Darcy maybe never lived IN NYC, just nearby it? I live 45 minutes from a major city and I could definitely tell you what the major stadiums and museums were. Looks like they are continuing to not get along when we see scenes for future episodes.

Guy with the chick in Columbia is DUMB. Dumb, dumb, dumb. He even admitted that the Face time was just a recurring short video and not actual face time?

The woman going to Africa is equally stupid.

Yes! That's the first thing i see when looking at her

I’m hopeful about Jon and Rachel. Hopefully he’s not an abusive jerk.

Paul and Karine have an interesting story. Something seemed off about him, then he mentioned the arson and restraining orders and it all made sense. I don’t get how people can feel such a deep connection when they don’t speak the same language, and can’t understand why he hasn’t learned more Portuguese.

Jesse is a jerk, and I feel sorry for Darcey, but all her friends have warned her and she’s still hoping to make it work. I wonder if she’s been in abusive relationships in the past.

[NomadicMama]

marie, Jon and Rachel are intriguing. In a preview, Jon’s friend said that Jon is not the commitment type of guy. I wonder if part of the attraction is a girlfriend without the in-person dynamics. They seem to be the most organic couple given how they met. I noticed that she didn’t carry a diaper bag and that left me scratching my head.

Is there another 90 Day show on? I was going to comment about Elizabeth and Andre and Danielle...which show are they on now? Man, TLC really took this 90 Day Fiance and ran with it.

90 Day Fiancé...I was reading that it was a HUGE hit last season so they’ve expanded it. Good for me, I suppose!

I keep wondering is that Karine is really pronounced the way he says it or if that is just him. And I agree about the language barrier. You have now had 4-5 months between visits, learn the language.

Ha!  I guess we were not the only ones watching after all!  I know no one in real life offline that watches - thank goodness I get to discuss the craziness here!

I’ll have to listen to how he pronounces Karine. My next door neighbor is Brazilian and that’s her name! Lol I told her about the girl on the show and she said it’s not a common name there. It’s pronouced Ka-ree-nee

That's how he says it. I just wasn't sure. lol I mean the guy pulled strands of hair from his head to give her as a keepsake.

RIGHT? If she’s gonna be your wife, eventually you’ll have to speak...like at your visa interview for example.

I love this show for its train wreckyness. However, it burns me up inside that all these parents are paying money they don’t have to engage with people on the other side of the world that they’ve never met. The guy in the U.K. has a criminal past for violence for goodness sakes!!! And that stupid guy chasing the Columbia catfish. His daughter is 100 times smarter than him. Darcy’s daughters also seem smart and well adjusted.

THIS. Additionally the fact that they are putting their minor children's names faces on reality TV... They could easily do the show without them in it.

The people with young children involved bother me the most.  Not saying you don't deserve to find love and be happy once you have kids, but it should be a situation where you are able to get to know the person well, in person, before you will introduce them to your children. And when you do, it is not moving that stranger into your house.

EXACTLY!  I'm all for moms and dads finding true love and creating a healthy home for their children in a loving family.  This is not how you do it.

All parent participants should have to watch Molly and Luis’s segments before moving forward. Theirs is a perfect example of what NOT to do.

Paul likely put all of his efforts into saving money, but Duolingo is free! You can’t spend the rest of your life relying on a translation app!

I was a bit horrified when Rachel said she mailed him part of the umbilical cord. For what!?!?! She posted yesterday in IG that it wasn’t as weird as it sounds. Ummmmm yes it is.

OMG, somehow I forgot about that comment.  EEwww.

I forgot to add earlier - The flashbacks of Paul had me DYING!  The hand motions he was using to ask Karine's Dad for her hand in marriage will NEVER get old.

[joy]

Jesse and Darcy are not compatible. Why are they trying to make this happen? I hope it’s only for the show.

Jesse comes off as a ass but Darcy does kinda need to get herself together. I give him a point there.

i agree and I think she comes on very strong. I would say the same thing if the roles were reversed. It is a lot, especially when they have so many issues. Really, the love of your life? Come on, girl.
