I figured I'd bump this instead of starting a new one. I forget alot of their names.
Jesse/Darcy- Oh Darcy!!! Gosh that's hard to watch. Jesse is controlling and I think emotionally abusive. Darcy is so desperate and needy she'll put up with it and continue to be gaslighted that she has all this self-work to do before she is lovable and worthy of him. He looked terrible at dinner...just tired or perhaps on something? His eyes were so red it was creepy.
Ricky/Columbia- Uhhhh who thinks she's actually going to show? 2 hours late now and a vague pic of inside a taxi?
Nigeria/Atlanta- He's totally using her to get to America lol. And the shrine to Trump? Wow did not expect that at all. I'll be interested to hear how she reacts to that.
Tarik/Phillipines- This one is boring so far. My theory is his story is introduced now because Ricky's is going to drop off when his fake girlfriend is a no-show.
Paul/Karine- This dude has seriously not learned anymore Portuguese?! I still can't believe she's into him.
The couple in London- I want to know the full deets of his criminal past. I was cringing watching them makeout after he barfed in the street and that half-assed toothbrushing. I was exhausted just watching her doing all that traveling with an 8-month old.
jeaniebueller, ahhh wow...and as to why she sent him baby's first onsie and a piece of the umbilical cord!! And if I recall I thought she was face-timing him during the birth but I can't remember 100% if that's this couple or something else I saw.

The guy in Africa, I can’t even fault him for trying to live out his dream. He knows what he is in for, she on the other hand is delusional.
Paul and Karine. He is the creepiest and the fact that he lives in la la land about real relationships, that she likes him and the fact that he wants to marry a person who he knows nothing about and doesn’t no take any steps to get to know, is just mind boggling. Does it look like she is pregnant and tells him it’s not his? Surprise🙄. What does she do anyway? She always kind of looks dirty to me. I don’t get that relationship or the attraction on either side.
The guy in Columbia is the most gullible person of all. I bet the dude who’s catfishing him was at the restaurant to check him out and left.
Rachel is also super desperate. Dragging a baby to meet a stranger and having no plan B. She is insane. I want to know what he did and what their plan is. If he can’t get here on a visa, he won’t be allowed to move here. Is she going to leave her older daughter and move to England? His sister was not thrilled with the entire thing and having no family support is a huge problem already. I don’t care about saving money, how old is he and why is he living with his mother? I really just want to know what he did. He makes it sound like it’s pretty bad. I think he might have killed someone in a bar fight.

I haven’t watched yet, but didn’t she claim that she had sex with some other dude while she was in a LDR with him?

I wish this was up online already! Hurry up!
Basically yea, and he said that her getting pregnant didn't change his feelings about her.

I was confused about this so I went to Reddit...apparently they are cagey about the timeline online because TLC didn't want them to meet before filming. Some people say they started talking online but thought it wasn't going anywhere so she hooked up with another guy during the same time. Another theory is they met once before around the time she conceived and were faking the episode as their first meeting. Both options are weird but I actually kind of believe the baby is his because that makes all of this less creepy.
With Rachel and Jon, I don't know how they will make this work. I doubt she can move to the UK with her older daughter (because the father would have to agree) and it is a huge PITA to move to the UK as a spouse. Huge. And very expensive. And if he can't get a visa here, well, who knows?

Lucy has the same eyes and John and his mother. How freaking awkward to meet the mother for the first time in that situation. He is soo odd.
Paul and Karine make me so uncomfortable. At least the girl from Manila is open about using her guy for a better life. I find Karine really odd too. I read that she is pregnant already.
Can’t believe Melissa actually showed up. I still think she is not the one texting with him and it’s all a set up for get money out of these desperate men. He is not the brightest bulb. He thinks they hit it off while he rejected everything she said she’d like to do.
Darcy needs to let go. The entire situation is horrible and not interesting to watch.
Michael’s face when Angela ran out was priceless. I feel for him.

It’s so cringeworthy to watch these Americans talk about how “in love” they are with their online loves. It’s SO desperate. I’m mainly talking about Tarek, lady with the baby, Angela, and catfishes guy in Columbia. Like, they are actually talking MARRIAGE!!!
I’m not new to this show and have followed all seasons of all versions and I’m still baffled that these people can’t see how effed up these situations are. It’s like they all have the brains and hormones of 16 year olds.

It must be because they are emotionally stunted when it comes to sex and love.

I thought Karine looked bigger, but in that puffy way when you are in the first tri going into the second trimester. I definitely do not get the attraction for Paul. At all.
lovelyshoes - I thought the same thing about Lucy and John’s eyes. But I feel like they’re very awkward with each other like they haven’t met yet so I don’t know what to think.
Ricky, Ricky, Ricky - that boy is a sad sap. If she doesn’t come between 9-915, I’m leaving!’ No you’re not! He would’ve waited til the place closed down. I am surprised it was actually her. However, I would be shocked if he actually sees her again. She called him a coward and they have no similar interests. I side eye him SO much for leaving his daughter to go meet her when they’ve never even talked and don’t have anything in common.
Tarik - pretty obvious he’s being used for a better life. I did think it was funny she said she thought he was chubby because i don’t think he is. He needs to say something other than ‘she’s so beautiful’ because he does give off a creeper vibe when he says it over and over. I was surprised they’ve only been texting for a couple weeks.
Angela - oh Michael had no idea what he was getting into. I was dying when he said she had so much energy. I’m excited to watch this one unfold.
Darcy - they just need to give it up. I think at this point they both just want to be on TV. I could believe she thinks she loves him, but she needs to learn to love herself first.
Angela and Michael are so funny! She's crazy but fun!
I don't think Tarik is chubby either but maybe she's used to smaller Asian guys? I was also surprised he had a ex in Thailand.
Jon and no bangs definitely seemed too comfortable around each other for supposedly just meeting. Sure TLC is frauding us again.
Paul is so freaking weird-take a pg test for me please! I'm surprised he didn't take her to get a STD test again. The thing is he is not bad looking at all IMO but he's such a tool/weirdo.
Did Darcy say her daughters are 11 and 12? My son is 10 and they look way older than him. They're really pretty.
There is no way they are 11 and 12. My kid looked older than her age but not that old. Mine is very articulate but they are seriously reaching.They are at least 14 or 15.

After Jesse was going on about Darcey bashing him on social media , I looked her up. Apparently the Silva twins have a new single out. I’m afraid to listen...she doesn’t strike me as a singer. It appears Darcey’s sister is also dating a dude that’s half her age.

Darcyyyy ugh. Girl is so desperate it's sad to watch.
Michael's obsession with Trump is interesting.
I also think Hazel's comment about Tarik being chubby is cultural, he def is not chubby, but compared to the men she's used to perhaps? He's got more bulk. He needs to chill with calling her pretty every 2 seconds, it's weird.
I'm so so shocked the girl showed up in Colombia!! But her excuse is ummm weird. I'm surprised she had braces. I don't think there's anything there, maybe use him for some dates and gifts but that's it. She didn't seem into him.
Jon and Rachel- there's something about him coming off as odd, can't put my finger on it yet.
