Oh my god, this Other Way cast is messed up than any other we've seen.
The chubby blonde chick from NYC wants to live in Manhattan but can't cut it in NY on her yoga class income, so she thinks that by moving to the Dominican Republic she'll be able to live her first world life there, but cheaper. Typical broke diva who wants more than she can afford and now expects him to pay for it. But in the end, she'll be paying for everything. Literally on her first day there, her wakeup call is starting that living there is not the same as vacation. The whole relationship is based on his desire for a green card to the US, and her big lie that she applied for his spousal visa when she did not, and has no intention of them going to the US. Her boyfriend opened a butcher shop in a typical 3rd world manner (meat on the hot counter with flies all over it, no bookkeeping, no systems in place. He is so proud of himself, and she starts nagging in a typical fashion about the lack of refrigeration, flies, not knowing revenues vs expenses. The train is coming fast on this one.
The hippie flower girl who is 38 and is working food delivery tells you all that you need to know. She went on a trip to Egypt, met a guy, talked online, and went back in a couple of months and married him and moved there. She hated everything about it. And they fought over all their differences (Muslim customs- clothing, contact with other men, etc) so she left him and came back to the US. And in typical fashion these days, she blocked him on social media. Very mature response. But then she decided that she loved him and is going back to move there even though she knows that she will hate it there and they will constantly fight. Another train has left the station and is picking up speed down the track.
There's Jen, the 46 year old, multiple time divorcee with manly facial features going to India to marry a guy that hasn't even told his family about her. No red flags there. He's some kind of model, trainer, or something. Has long hair and looks like a typical diva. She seems desperate and is willing to accept anything. Her friends are telling her valid reasons why it will fail like
her other marriages, but she doesn't listen. She won't follow him on social media because she "trusts" him but the reality is that she doesn't want to see anything and is just having blinders on. One of her friends proposes a test where she will message him pretending to be a woman from England. She did and he didn't reject her messages or tell her that he's involved. But she just shrugs it off like no big deal. Like I said, very desperate. This train is racing the train with the NYC woman for which will crash first.
A 40-something mother of 2 (both adults) who was married before is now going to Colombia to marry and live with a Venezuelan woman. I think these 2 are most normal, which isn't saying much with this group.
There's a transgender that used to be a woman but now is a man who is going to Colombia to live with a woman with 2 kids. She knows that he's trans and is ok with it but her conservative catholic parents don't know. This will be most interesting to watch in my opinion. The trans guy seems cool, other than doing gay pride parades in his underwear on the streets in his hometown BY HIMSELF.
There's still a 70 year old that looks 90 going to be with a mid 20-something in Morocco. They didn't show much about them, but I see the train lights on this one too.
