I cant stand to watch Jessie throw one more of his ridiculous baby fits over things that dont mean anything. I mean you stepped on his shoe??!!!??? Seriously??? HE has issues. You have issues. You dont need a man like that. Anytime something comes up, he cuts you right off not caring what you have to say, In his words to avoid all your drama. WHAT??? He's the drama queen not you girl. You just want to be heard, explain, talk through it. His reaction is always to jump up, scold you on what he sees as your fault, remind you that you need some help to work on yourself then run off somewhere to pout like a child. You're not a perfect woman, neither are am I, but you most certainly dont need that crap in your life for sure. Hes friggen nuts, girl. Send him back home to mummy.

Addicting guilty pleasure!!
sini-20020 August 2021
I accidentally saw a one episode of S1 and it was so addicting, i got hooked! The drama is
fun to watch and i binged all eps. Its hooking and even sometimes the couples or people can be toxic.. but overall, a guilty pleasure.
I rated this a 10 because it is a completely entertaining train wreck.

"What is wrong with these people!?" -Me
This is what I constantly think to myself when I watch this. This is definitely a guilty pleasure show. "Completely ridiculous" is the best phrase to use when describing this. I sit and wonder what makes these people come on the show, what makes them want to be with the person that they want to be with, what makes them believe the other person isn't there for ulterior motives, etc.
I am watching it on Hulu and cant help but to look up what is going on with them currently, even though I haven't fully caught up on things, and am also watching 90 Day Fiance concurrently with this.
If you are in a relationship, this is great fun to watch with your partner. If you are in a healthy relationship, you will laugh and cry. If you are in an unhealthy relationship, you might cry. If you are single, you may decide to never get into a relationship again.
This show is great fun.

Binge worthy highly addictive reality drama!
TimMalcolm31 July 2019
This is one of the best shows out right now! This is a reality show following American's who have all found love in other countries. They are all flying met their love interest for the first time and they almost always are trainwrecks waiting to happen. Between the crazy, pathetic and something creepy cast members to the inevitable culture differences that each couple faces get your popcorn ready and get ready to binge watch this because it never disappoints! I hope TLC continues this show forever as is just never get old! Now they even have 5 or 6 spin offs and I just can't get enough! Before The 90 Days is my favorite and technically the first step in the process of love and bringing a foreigner over to the United States. Give it a try .. you will not be sorry
This show has changed my Family forever...
JetFlyinSOAG2 June 2020
Me and my Family began watching this after hearing about 'Big Ed' online and just had to see what the fuss was about. We were not disappointed and were engrossed in the lives of the interesting individuals on the show and their partners from across the globe. There were twists and turns throughout the series and my family (who had not watched much reality TV prior to this) were routing for some likeable people on the program. Great Watch!!
Oh the desperation
ingridwinter-3161320 February 2022
They should call this show "Thirsty as Hell". A bunch of 3/10's trying to land 9/10's tricking impoverished third worlders into thinking they have money when in fact might even live in section eight housing, couch surf or live in their mom's basement just to get some jiggy jiggy or yammy yammy as they themselves refer to it on the show. Most of them haven't gotten beyond a fifteen year old mentality. I scored this a 5 star just because of how frustrating it is to watch but i just can't look away.
nice
Kirpianuscus4 October 2018
It is obvious than the public represents a precise target in this case. Fans of romanticism, readers of Jane Austen, super- fans of soap opera. Sure, my opinion could be unfair but the emotion of the first scenes , the adventure , the emotions, the prepair of the first meeting are interesting for not a large public. Sure, it is a TLC product. A reality show with the well known purpose. But, maybe, the love could be significant in honest manner.
A trainwreck that i cant look away from
sherrydajinski10 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I am fully addicted to this show now...Just recently started watching....I blew through the first 3 seasons in a week. I must say i enjoy the later seasons when they started to add more couples in. I like Darcey better with Tom...Jesse is a control freak. Darcey really needs to work on not crying every episode though but she has a good sense of style. I do not like Angela...she is mean to Michael. Caesar is a complete waste of screen time, i almost feel like the tv show just made that story too long maybe they did not have enough couples that wanted to do the show. Tim seems like a really nice guy but that Dominican girl is mean to him. I read online that he is gay but i think he just dresses nice. Paul is a weird one and I think that Karine should be very scared of what that man is capable of. I must say though that I will be watching tonight because I want to know what is going to happen with Stephanie and Erika. I really dont care for Davids story seems like a wild goose chase again like Caesar. Tom is really acting like a dbag this season and I am glad that Darcey finally stood up for herself! I would love to hang out with her and teach her how to believe in herself. I am so glad Rose left Ed. He has to be crazy to not realize how out of his league she was, thinking he could treat her like he was some stud muffin. If you have not watched this show before you wont be sorry! You could skip the first season though and just start at season 2 as i found season 1 to be rather boring, but im sure its because it was a new show and they were still figuring out what worked. I enjoyed season 3 the most I think depending on what happens at the end of 4.
Vapid and pathetic
intermedx19 November 2018
So I watched one episode of this while in Thailand. What a pathetic group of people. It was obvious that the Americans are all psychologically damaged and seeking something that doesn't exist. In every case, the people they met were disappointed and clearly not into the Americans.
First, it was clear the woman from Georgia had misrepresented herself to the guy from Nigeria, not to mention that she was over-the-top clueless about being in a different culture. Then the guy who met the girl from the Philippines was oblivious to the fact that all she wants is to get out of the Philippines.
I could go on, but in every case the person foreign person was so clearly not interested in their partner, that it was pathetic and depressing. But what is more depressing is that TLC would take advantage of these poor folks for the voyeuristic appetite of the rest of us. That is why I hate these 'reality' shows.

USED TO BE OK
bocaaustin9 August 2023
This show has been steadily declining over the last few years. But this season is particularly bad. It used to be somewhat interesting. They actually showed what some of the people went through to get to the states or to the country where the other person was. Now it's just stupid garbage. Some of the characters are just off the charts. Would someone please tell Jasmine to stay away from heat.
She's got so much silicone in her that she's gonna melt if she goes near a flame. And can we do without all the various "flavors" that we have to endure? What's next? Some guy that wants to bring a sheep that he fell in love with from Australia?

Unbelievably SLOW!!
MovieCriticOnline30 April 2020
These people are sooooo pathetic and dumb. Couple that with the extremely SLOW pace of the show. The constant edits to have long pauses in between words. They cut after every small sentence to LONG reaction shots,... then more dead silence and back to one more small sentence.
Either these people are so dumb and pathetic or they are playing dumb and pathetic. Either way t's too cringeworthy. It goes from "I really like this person" to a fight to "I'm really sorry" to " I wanna work this out" to a fight to "I'm really sorry" and this plays over and over again dragged out over 8 episodes. In other words, fight - do over - fight - do over - fight - do over.
There is ZERO logical explanation for why these people like each other or even together. Every episode is identical. Never any resolutions to any of them.
It should be a crime making these annoying and irritating shows that go NOWHERE....

Will they get to the freaking point already?
MovieCriticOnline20 April 2020
This is so painful to watch. It just drags on with the heavily edits they have on contestant shows where you wait 3 minutes for the answer and you just have the editing back and forth between faces waiting. Too many forced pauses. Too much minutia and meandering.
And too much staging. Some of the characters are interesting, but they need to let the camera just flow like the do on Survivor and the energy feels reel.
Plus watching these people being so dumb (which I don't believe) is cringeworthy.
Skip it...

Ewwwwwww Those "Bi" Girls
johnsmithyo5 July 2020
I gave this a one star just because of those two "Bi" girls (or whatever pony land they wanna become these days). Lol, those two girls were so fake and were clearly doing this show just for the exposure. I wanted to stop watching the show just because of these two fakies. Why do you include these fake people in the show? The girl says "My mom's opinion matters to me" and then does everything that her mom doesn't want her to do behind her back. LOL SUCH FAKES. And the way she speaks Ewww.
