What the hell is up with him waking up and telling himself he's a specimen?
When Mark said that I said to my screen: Buddy, I couldn't agree with you more. Sometimes I wonder, do these type men every listen to themselves speak? Do they realize how illogical they sound? By 'these type men' I mean the types that believe that all American women are too independent, emasculating, argumentative, feminist or whatever the hell they believe but all women from Country X believe in partnership, traditional gender roles, more feminine, let a man be a man, submissive, etc. I mean Mark is sitting there spouting all this shit about stereotypes yet his first K1 wife left his ass high and dry with 4 kids to raise on his own. He is stating that she changed over time and wanted to become independent. Well, what do you think will happen with a 19 year old you met and proposed to after knowing for 2 whole damn days?!? Maybe it isn't about race, culture or citizenship but about getting to know someone before you get married, compatibility, or maybe it is just you?
I do wonder if Mark's 1st wife totally abandoned her kids or whether she was involved in their lives in any way. He made it sound like she disappeared like a thief in the night one day. I noticed that the faces of his other 3 kids were blurred in photos so it seems that the only one wlling to be involved in this mess of a show is the daughter.
As for his 19 year old fiancee, you might have to braid some back hair and do some unspeakable things to get it but:
However don't be fooled. You will be earning every dime!!
I will pay Mark one compliment: At least he was making sure that his fiancee was coming home to a spotless, clean home. Old boy was wiping down the cabinets!! THE CABINETS!! Her room was pristine and clean. How many times have we seen fiancees come to their new home to face a sink full of dirty ass dishes, dirty laundry, filthy house, bed unmade, clothes all over. So I will give him that, although that is probably part of his controlling personality.
I just want to breath a sigh of relief that Loren and Chelsea weren't featured on the same season. That amount of vocal fry would be just criminal and too damn much for me. Loren's NYC pad was super cute and really well decorated. Count me in as also thinking that the move to Florida is only for show purposes. They just need close family and friends to voice 'concern' and mild disapproval. Alexei is cute and so is Loren. However, Loren is not only spoiled she is also strikes me as quite needy too. If she says I love you and he doesn't say it back, she gets all pouty and says 'you don't love?' Good luck with that son! I am not really very familiar with Israeli accents so I was wondering if Alexei was Israeli by birth or immigrated there. His accent sounded Russian Eastern European to me.
Mel and Dev - Oy! I'm gonna wait an episode or 2 to even touch this one.
The Mormon couple - she seems sweet enough. He is too damn sweet and young. I can practically smell the similac on this breath. Even though he has been out i the world on this mission he seems so sheltered and again ... young!
