He apparently works for Konami. I’m hoping that means he worked on some of the metal gear games cause that would be hilarious

How much would a job like this pay? Is Colt poor or just really cheap? He can’t be paying rent.

the best part is when he tries to kiss her one night and she goes WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

Yeah, I used to work for IGT, doing music and sound for casino and bar games, and Konami was one of our competitors, though not the biggest one; that was Williams, the pinball people.

Hey, maybe they should take on Metal Gear...

From my experience working as a dev in the American western wasteland, a lot of the dev jobs there don’t pay much compared to those on the coast

But, I’m thinking he probably makes a decent income for the area (60k-80k) so he’s just horribly cheap

I think at this point they are only going to keep their video games division on as a loss leader.

It’s definitely a weird timeline in which Konami managed to survive by making slot machines but here we are.

The ROI for those types of games is insane. For them, it makes total sense.

This is what blows me away about this show. In America, you have access to literally everything in the world. Including your ideal spouse. This show is about guys who just don't want to put in the effort.

There’s a bit where the guy is standing outside some bar waiting for his mail order bride and two American hotties start chatting him up, like “why are these cameras following you around?” Etc etc

Then his mail order bride walks up and shushes them away

I have been watching this show for like, a week straight. It’s pretty gross and creepy and for some reason, I love it. My favorite weirdo so far has been Paul with his swimming condom and translator app that he literally couldn’t propose without. I am now on Season 5, and Evelyn’s dad is ridiculously hot. Also, there is so much overt racism on this show. It’s fascinating the things these people are willing to say, out loud, on tv.

I’m only on season one and starting to notice this with some parents and friends of the fiance’s

Maybe it’s genuine concern about their sons marrying women from other countries who might only want them for a work visa, but some comments are uhhh, interesting. Could just be the culture shock

I started watching the second season of "Before the 90 Days", and the only couple I find funny is dutch model and connecticut milf. With the other couples the show feels more like a window to a new type of prostitution. The philippino girl talks like she's on anti-depressants, and the colombian girl probably didn't want to show up until the producers agreed to pay her extra. And the 52 year old from the midwest and her nigerian boytoy, ugh.

best part was the phone call between angela and michael where she accuses him of stealing her money

For a serious reply, the spouse of someone immigrating to the US due to the marriage is responsible for making sure the person in question exceeds the federal poverty line income by some percent each year for ten years, paying back any federal aid used on or by that person and other costs. There are also limits on the ability of the resident to use any federal aid, but that is more “we’ll just deny your sponsorship paperwork. Probably.” This obligation does not end except when the ten years are reached, so for example divorce will cause the resident to still carry financial responsibility. As to criminal charges, it’s most likely the person immigrating would just be deported but costs would likely fall to the resident to pay.
There are some other added costs and requirements, the forms involved and the requirements on them were quietly changed quite recently.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

You say that on one of the series' there was an obviously closeted gay guy looking to import a "beard". How often does that happen? Where the transactional part of teh transactional relationship is "You be my wife and get my parents/society off my back, and in return you get a green card/to live in a decent house"? And how often does the wife know that her husband is gay?

This leads me to a second question: How often are both parties aware of the bargain they are striking? The thread is talking about poor stupid chubby Ohian girls that don't realise that their fiance is using them, or creepy old men taking advantage of starry eyed innocent young girls. How often does the series show someone who goes "Yeah, he's old and ugly and unpleasant, but he is offering me a better place to live, and a green card and all I have to do is gently caress him occasionally." etc.

Connecticut Milf was super depressing because you could FEEL the midlife crisis oozing out of the TV. She seemed nice enough and wanted to take care of her kids, but she also really wanted to gently caress some young dudes.

Darcey is absolutely desperate for fame (although, actually, the Dutch guy seemed that way too). Her and her sister tried to have some twin reality show back before they both wrecked their faces, and they even made a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XVk8QvWEQ0 Enjoy.

they don't seem aware. i guess he ended up not being gay but the guy (russ) who brought paola came off as gay as hell because he wouldn't gently caress her even though she was insanely down. they recently had a kid and cursed it with the name "axel".

Wasn't there always some doubt about Nev's "backstory" that led him to make the show being legitimate anyway? It always seemed at least largely faked since the beginning. I've seen every episode and won't turn it off if there's nothing else interesting on, but it's right down there with survivor/big brother in terms of being "real" imho.

i mean honestly, they had someone insisting that he was in a relationship with Katy Perry. I refuse to believe there is anyone out there that clueless unless they are an unmedicated mentally ill person. Which he very well might be because he didn't seem interested in all with the real girl who was actually very attractive, especially given how the revealed catfishes usually look.
