This series stars a parade of superannuated, supersized, super-dumb inhabitants of some cosmic trailer park, all of them naively looking for some new "relationship" where they get to have things their way because their universe revolves around them (and sometimes their spoiled/needy offspring). They seem to believe that just turning up in a foreign country is all they need to do in order to prove their commitment to some deluded deal they have with another person whose language, culture and customs they don't understand and haven't even thought about.
They don't bring anything of real value to the table and apparently believe, for example, that any young guy in a less wealthy country will swoon at the sight of their ancient and bloated features.
I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt - and I'm nearing the end of the second decade of my Foreign Romance, but I regarded it as a serious enterprise that had to be carefully researched and talked through with my prospective partner, and even then we've had a few near misses!
I root for a couple of the people in each season but it's certainly clear that most of them haven't done their homework and are totally unrealistic, both about themselves and their prospective soulmates.
