No Thai bargirls? Lame. Hopefully they'll show what happens when the Ukrainian girl goes running to the cops because her ol man yelled at her. We can watch a false VAWA case unfold on TV.

A great regret in my life is not hanging with you when you were in Thailand when you were younger. I'd have better stories for sure.

*** Yes, the removed post was a TOS violation as it was insulting another VJ member. Topic could fit in either forum, but was not moved so much as merged with another, pre-existing topic in another forum. *****

Heard about this on the radio today. They were under the assumption that all of these people had never met and it was completely mail order brides and they were insulting the entire process. Had to call and set them straight.

I don't know that it won't be presented otherwise on the show, but I would probably watch.

I'm such a glutton for TLC.

A new reality series sees couples from different countries trying to make their relationships work despite language boundaries, culture differences and skeptical friends and family.

TLC's 90 Day Fiancé follows five American men who have met and fallen for women abroad. These women are given a K-1 visa - also known as a Fiancé Visa - which allows them to travel to the U.S. for 90 days.

At the end of 90 days, the couples must decide whether they are ready to tie the knot; if they aren't, the women must give up their visas and immediately return to their home countries.

One of the couples featured on the show is Los Angeles native Alan, 29, and 21-year-old Kirlyam, from a small town in Brazil.

Both devoutly Mormon and sexually abstinent, Alan and Kirlyam have only met a handful of times, but Alan is keen to walk down the aisle with her as soon as possible.

The situation is complicated further by the fact that upon her arrival in Los Angeles, Kirlyam becomes enamored with the fashion world.

In a trailer for the reality series, Kirlyam is seen breaking down in tears, seemingly homesick. 'I miss my mom,' she says. 'I miss her.'

For 27-year-old Russ from Owasso, Oklahoma, the obstacles standing before him and his Colombian girlfriend Paola, 26, include culture differences and his parents, who are convinced Paola has ulterior motives.

Talk about completely twisting the terms of a K-1 visa.
