Great assessment Roxip, I whole heartedly agree with your post but you forgot to mention that Molly has a new boy toy younger man.

I did forget about that...and apparently her "picker" isn't any better according to the synopsis I read...I think the term "Luis 2.0" might apply? Olivia isn't amused.

Pao going in to "apologize" was bogus to me. And no one is obligated to hear an apology unless they are ready and not on camera.
Pao is all about drama, at the expense of her marriage and husband.. and he is eager to jump on others but seems to be in a terrible situation.
George just cannot be truthful.. I have to say that originally I thought Anfisa was horrible but I am a more on her side.
Of course they are all crazy!

So does anybody else think that Nicole will ever see her $5,000 again? I also kind of snickered when she was talking about calling her family and telling them the wedding was off again...does anybody think her family was (1) surprised, and (2) relieved? I think her only chance is if she goes back home and starts sending money again...Azan will be very happy to have her sending him money long distance. He's just such a loser but you almost can't hate him because she's just so gullible.
Pao - what the heck are you doing? Are you so desperate to go back to your gay best friend in Columbia that you are going to trash your marriage? Although what her husband said was kind of hurtful to hear I think he was right - they way their relationship is right now is not the time to bring a baby into it! I just think Paola is one of those women who always needs something new and bright and shiny and perhaps isn't made for the long haul!
I just don't know with Pedro and Chantel. And why does her mother persist in speaking in broken Spanish to English speaking people?
Anfisa is a money grabber - of that I have no doubt - but at least she's honest about what she is and what she wants. She just found a perpetual liar - opposites attract?
David and Annie - I just can't even look at the two of them. She is an opportunist and he is a sad sack of a guy who I suspect once was a reasonably well functioning individual but has now lost his grasp on reality. I think he is living inside a fantasy where he's the hot American guy who got the beautiful Asian woman...reality sucks, doesn't it?
Molly was a non-participant this episode, wasn't she?
Well the good news is that the new iteration of this series starts next week!

Someone called this a train wreck and that is soo true. Not one couple will last and if they do they will be miserable for the rest of their lives. And a new train wreck starts next week. But, I will watch. LOL

But there's more...spoilers if you don't want to know...
Apparently Russ and Paola are still together and are expecting (and apparently Juan and Russ are now getting along). Chantel and Pablo are still together...no update on whether their families are still interfering in their lives. Jorge has pled himself down to 2-1/2 years in jail. Molly is still seeking reality <99> fame (sorry if I can't say that word...but her show Double Divas was awesome...she should have stuck with fitting bras for a living. David and Annie are leaving for Thailand in September. Nicole and May are back in the US but who knows what is up with Azan...if I were to guess she's still hanging in there trying to get him to marry her and he's still milking her for money. Geesh!
Next show is going to have that horrible couple from last season - the older woman and the younger guy (from Amsterdam or somewhere like that) - he accused her of being a drunk and was really nasty to her - so of course they are going to bring him to the US so he can be even nastier to her? I had hoped never to see them again.
Still I will watch.

Roxip, thanks for this awesome update!
I have been watching and I still will be watching....I guess I like watching train wrecks too.

A few times, my husband overheard something from the show and asked "what are you watching?" When I explain what it is, he shakes his head, rolls his eyes and says "Why are you watching this crap? It's so ridiculous!" LOL. Yes, I know. But yet I still watch....

I can't decide whether these people are desperate to be married, desperate to find reality show fame, or just somewhat delusional in their thinking...or a combination of all of the above. I'm single, never been married, and although I'm not opposed to finding true love I am pretty sure that I would not go to these lengths to do so. I've been young like Nicole and done incredibly stupid things to keep a man so I need to not judge her so harshly, but what I do not give her a pass on is dragging her young daughter along with her. Same with Molly - fall in love with a hot Latin guy all you want but do not leave him alone in your house with your small daughter! That just makes me shudder about what could have happened.

Chantal seemed to be medicated. Poalo is not a nice person. I googled “ Anfisa webcam porn”and I did see ( briefly) a girl that looked like her and another that definitely could be her.

Well, Anfisa will need to support herself because Jorge is going to prison for awhile. I blame his drug selling on Anfisa for making him provide her with such lavish trinkets. He needed the money to keep her happy.

Russ and Pao expecting a baby is official.. even made People Magazine.
I think Jorge was working in the medical marijuana field when he met Anfisa and with pot being decriminalized in California that may have hurt him.
Stupid to manage to be arrested in Arizona. Here he probably would be out very soon.

To be honest, I'm just surprised so many of them are still together.

I don't think it is fair to blame Anfisa for Jorge's legal problems. He is an adult (or at least he's old enough to be an adult - his actions certainly don't live up to his age) and he is responsible for his choices in life. If he is involved in the LEGAL medical marijuana business then he certainly knows the consequences of traveling with it in areas where it isn't legal. Nope, this one is all on him in my opinion.
Last night was a mish-mash! I can't believe that they brought back that dreadful Jessie and what's her name (who is looking amazing by the way and he should have acknowledged it). I also can't believe that the grandmother-aged woman in the previews has the audacity to say "he's making me look like a fool." Nope lady, you handled that one all by yourself. And that sweet guy with the 12-year old daughter needs to be sat down and given a lesson on catfishing...DUDE! You don't look stupid!

I think Jorge was afraid of losing Anfisa if he didn’t satisfy her every desire which consisted of extremely expensive possessions like $5K handbags, she wanted the $10K wedding dress. That’s the only way he got her and the only way he can keep her. She wanted a rich American man.
I’m glad they continued the story line following the previous couples and the new season looked like a bigger train wreck but for some reason....I still watch.

My husband asked me who were the most normal or decent of this bunch. For the man I said Russ and this tells you how messed up the women are, I chose Annie.

I would agree that Russ and Annie are somewhat sane. David is such a loser and Pao, I can't figure out what her problem is, I think she would rather be in her home country with her male friend but the money and jobs are better in the US. Unfortunately, she is pregnant.

I think Pao wants to be famous and doesn't care where it happens. Up until this past season she was one of my favorites but I did not care for her this season.

I am going to admit that I am totally amazed. I was certain the guy in Columbia was being catfished and that some schlub of a guy was going to show up. Still not sure he's not being catfished but at least the woman is real!
I guess the guy who went to the Philippines is certainly getting what he paid for! She certainly is honest about what she wants. She is a beautiful girl who is looking for an American man...I just hope her expectations of what he can provide aren't over the top!
That woman in Nigeria...no words.
Karine must really really really want to go to America if she puts up with Paul's nonsense. Anybody else get the feeling that his mother doesn't want for him to leave hearth and home and have a life for himself?
I want to root for Rachel and her British guy but fear the reality of playing daddy will lose its charm when Lucy cries too much. It's a lot to take on!
Darcy and Jesse - please just go away! Or at least realize that he's an emotional abuser and you might want to subject yourself to that but please don't throw your daughter's into the fray!

That woman in Nigeria, i just can't even believe that. He clearly is not that into her. She is a character for sure. BUT really the age difference is too much.
Karine seems nothing like Paul. It just won't work out in the long run.
Rachel and the Brit... though it'd be nice to work after hearing his mom refer to him as fickle. It makes me think its just not meant to be, and it'll wear off fast when the baby is crying.

I worried about the Brit when he said "she doesn't look like the women I usually date." Not a good sign.

I really like Rachel so I hate to see her get her heart broken (although she does seem to have a tendency to fall into bed with fertile guys rather quickly...LOL!).
The woman in Nigeria (Angela?) has apparently been on another reality show so perhaps she's in it for fame? Obviously the guy is in it for the ticket to America.
We live in strange times!

They all seem not to be too attracted to their online loves. The guy from Nigeria is less than thrilled ( she’d drive me insane); the girl from Manila said her guy was too chubby and the Brit said she’s not like his past g-friends. Then there’s the girl that showed up 3 hours late. She has braces, how old is she.

LOL...Angela was on Maury two or three times in one of those "who is my daughter's baby daddy" type episodes.
