They are nuts! Seriously. Where to start...inviting themselves and planning every minute of the DC trip and not even giving her a day to rest and hang with Brandon. The bedroom? Why is he in the pretty guest room and she's in the back storage closet? The parents have full time jobs. So they were not working on that farm all day. Why is she expected to do everything ? I missed their introduction episode. Why is Brandon living at home anyway? He's got a job...

As a lifelong DMV resident, as soon as I saw they were from rural VA I knew we were in for a big steaming pile of passive aggressive crazy, and they certainly proved me right. Don’t know what they have in the water there but these two aren’t a great advertisement for it

Loren and Alex are one of my favorites for precisely this reason. Of course that means their drama was boring and manufactured...

Chantel and Pedro are my favorite couple. He was her Spanish tutor when they met. They are not boring.

They are one of my least favorites - so obnoxious and either highly toxic or the manufactured drama is over the top. The whole family chantel are the worst, if not close to it.

I agree with pp, Loren and Alexei are among my favorites! I miss seeing Tarek on pillow talk though, his commentary was always gold.

I agree about Chantel and Pedro. You knew it was all manufactured, I skipped all their parts and will not watch their spin off.

These guys are the absolute bottom of the barrel and can’t get any woman here, so of course they have to settle for prostitutes. Frankly they need to just be grateful they got any woman whatsoever.

For some reason the American women on the show are sometimes okay, smart and attractive with options. But every single man is an absolute loser and s-show

What ever happened with Paul and Karine? She came from a supportive family and seemed too good for him.

What about Geoffrey and Varya?

They are cute together on Pillow Talk. Maybe it's genuine

Referring to Thai Annie

I think most have limited options and are trying to get themselves out of bad situations.

Now that I think about it almost all of them. Annie, Larissa, rose, Julianna, Fernanda, anfisa, off the top of my head. There's many more though. If their last string of hope was marrying up they are most likely to do it with an older, uglier, or broke man from America.

Juliana was a model. There was speculation that Annie worked in a sex bar, but none of these other women were prostitutes.

Juliana was a yacht girl. In other words, a hooker.

My favorite couple was Kyle and Noon and I think they are still doing well. They seemed like pretty normal people who fell in love.

Her family is utter trash and her brother is an abuser.

It is amazing that these women (I'm thinking of Annie) think the American men are so wealthy. I guess that's just what people think of Americans. Annie turned her nose up at what's his name's apartment.

Fernanda was 16 or 17 and Jonathan met her at a night club. What makes you think she was a prostitute, opposed to Jonathan being a pedophile. I did not get prostitute from her. I sensed young, naive, and spoiled from Fernando.

This dude was banging a teenager in Mexico. Let's just face it. He even bought her some 'enhancements'. I don't care how you want to skew the semantics to turn it into romantics. This is flat out creepy! Sure, she wears so much makeup that she doesn't look like she just walked down the auditorium aisle to get her high school diploma...but she was in the club in Mexico meeting and hooking up with American men in hotel rooms before she passed 11th grade English. AND HER parents let her whore herself to an old pervert in a different country shortly after she was old enough to have her braces removed. My father is from Italy. He would have shot this dude. And I was smart enough in 10th grade to know that if a senior was hitting on me, he wasn't good enough to get girls hot enough in his own grade to date him...even if he was considered 'hot' at the time. Something had to be 'off' about him. Not only is something wrong about this Jonathan guy, but something is also very wrong about her and her family. The girl practically had a boob job before she fully hit puberty...and he loves to throw it in her face that he bought them for her? Nothing is right about that.

Exactly.
