, there is a reality teevee show called "90 Day Fiancé" about foreigners who marry U.S. citizens to gain admission to the country. After reading the article, I set my system to record future episodes. Look at the below description from the article. It sounds like great entertainment.
Quote:
Another of this season's noteworthy couples is Rosemarie, a sweet and cute young lady from a desperately poor village in the Philippines, and Big Ed, a California photographer in his fifties who stands 4 foot 10 and must weigh about 250 pounds. He slathers his hair in mayonnaise (really) and tells us in episode one that he hasn't had sex in 28 years. Aside from the fact that he has no neck and a variety of other physical limitations; poor Ed is also shockingly rude and petty. He demands that poor Rosemarie subject herself to an STD test for no good reason. He conceals from her the fact that he's scheduled to undergo a vasectomy. And he presents her with toothpaste and a new toothbrush after telling her that her breath stinks, among many other ridiculous moments.
Again, you see the two together and think "no way". Until that is, the scene shifts to Rosemarie's desperately poor village in the Philippines, where Big Ed endures the "worst night of his life" in her family's humble, improvised home sleeping on a dirty mattress on the floor in a rainstorm under a leaky roof without electricity. In the morning, he is hosed off like the swine that he is by the girl's father in their makeshift shower before he tells her that he has to move to a hotel because he needs 1,000 thread-count sheets or better. Rosemarie's sister hits him up for money and at one point in the proceedings, Big Ed remarks, "I'm beginning to think I might be her meal ticket." D'ya think, Ed?
