I finally have a moment to watch the finale of To Rome For Love and am dying to know what bombshell Alberto drops on Nakita and who if anyone actually found love.
Emiliano and Shay go on yet another dinner date at yet another fancy restaurant. This time he is not wearing a suit jacket which pleases Shay thinks he is a bit stuffy and boring. Then he ordered a pina colada! I have a feeling that he was told by Diann to do that. Emiliano says he will adjust his schedule to make the finale party.
Ashley is going to cook dinner for Alejandro in lingerie. She acts like she hasn’t slept with him yet but we have seen evidence that makes me wonder if that is true or not. She has decided that tonight is the night. She should have been hitting that the entire time! He’s a player and she will never see him again. But he is fiiiiiiiiine! She should just stay there and ride this out for as long as possible.
Mercedes has invited her fourth or fifth choice, Ka, to the grand ball in the fancy palace. Because last week Kwame told her he is not down with long distance relationships.
The ladies had a full glam squad to get them ready for the big event. Emiliano sent a huge, gorgeous bouquet of flowers to Shay before the big event. Alberto wore a suit! Gina goes without a date. They take these adorable vintage cars on the two-hour ride to Palazzo Brancaccio. The palace is magical. Alberto says it is one of the best wedding venues in Rome. Diann says it is the start of a great love affair. Alberto agrees.
Emiliano has asked Shay to stay for a few more days. He’s getting her a hotel. So that’s a win.
Nakita and Alberto were having some idle chit chat and she notes that she is taller than him in her heels. He says “my wife was the same way.” She takes that to mean he is married, but the way he said make me think he was divorced. Nakita has a mini meltdown before sitting down with him to ask about it. And he is in fact divorced. So much production drama. Alberto says he wants to come to the states to see her.
Ka, had to work and arrived at the party later. Mercedes moped around but light right up when he arrived. Mercedes and Ka find a private spot to talk and he says her name is Mercedes and his last name is Ka. they are both named after cars! Mercedes asks him how to pronounce his first name. And, y’all his first name is Jesus! Y’all know Mercedes loves her some Jesus! Mecedes has decided to stay another week with Ka. I mean Jesus. He says he will come to the states to see him. Ka tells the camera he can see himself married to Mercedes.
Ashley invites Alejandro to come to the states to meet her kids. Ashley is worried that she is not going to see him again.
The ladies tell Diann and the love team goodbye at the palace. The next day they all say their goodbyes.
Ashley stayed for a few more days and met Alejandro’s mother. Alejandro visited Ashley in Lousiana and met her kids!!!! I am shocked! They plan to visit again soon.
Gina is dating a guy from the states and is writing and cooking again.
Shay spent a few extra days with Emiliano, but once back in the states she wanted to pursue other opportunities.
Nakita has lost 26 pounds and her career is booming. NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Nakita and Alberto broke up! But they are still friends. Sigh.
Mercedes and Ka spent a romantic week together. They talk on the phone every day.
Well, I am sad about Nakita and Alberto. She should totally move to Rome.
Snap. Disappointed Nakita and Alberto called it quits, I really like the energy between the pair. Maybe remaining friends would lead to a real relationship. 🤞
Although Alejandro visited Ash, I don’t think they’ll workout, he appears to be somewhat of a playboy. Jmo
Shay is still growing, learning to love herself, and release those “bad boyz.” Once she’s in a place of self love, and acceptance she should be able to appreciate someone as laid back as Emiliano.
It’s nice Gina got her groove back in Italy, and now doin’ her own thang in the U.S. I am wondering what became of Olivier (sp)?!
I liked Mercedes and Kwame as a pair, but seeing he’s not into long distance relationships; I wish her and Jesus many more romantic weekends.
Thanks for the recap!
I don’t know, kinda anticlimactic ending. I was happy to see a few of the ladies spend more time in Rome…loved the palace venue for the party, amazing!
I felt sorry for Gina and Mercedes riding alone to the party, they should have let them go together for the 2 hour drive in those cute old cars!
I love Nakita, the longer Alberto was around he started to bother me…he kept kinda flicking/pinching and smooshing at Nakita’s nose and cheeks. She didn’t seem to mind so probably just me. She definitely got her groove back, the pictures at the end were fabulous!
I’m with you TT. Ashley should have been enjoying her Roman holiday completely! Talk about fond memories! He definitely is smooth. Never know, he did seem into her and to visit her and her kids? Still…
Shay really grew, I hope she keeps moving forward..
Gina will be just fine, she just needed to find herself again..and Mercedes? Time will tell. She really wants to find someone. I wish her all the best it can be tough when you put pressure on yourself to find “perfection.”
One more thing. These ladies all looked beautiful and sophisticated. They weren’t overdone, dresses were beautiful without crazy breasts popping out everywhere. They all appeared to reflect their person style and not going over the top to attract attention just their true beauty.
Thanks for the great recaps TT! Have you heard if this has been picked up for another season?
I doubt it. Only ten of us were watching. LOL. None of the shows they shoot overseas get viewers because it’s not all about women snatching each others wigs. For the most part these women lived together and became a little ex-pat family. There was a normal amount of drama but that was not the focus of the show. American’s have been brainwashed to view any show that is not full of brawling women as “boring.”
OOOOHHHHH GOOD NEWS! Ashley and Alejandro are still together and they will be seeing each other in April!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Alejandro!
💃💕
Yay!!! She did meet his mother!
I enjoyed the show and the lack of wig snatching, petty fighting.
Thanks for recapping the show TT. Tough time of year for me to watch tv even with my dvr and I missed several episodes. Without you I would have given up and I really enjoyed the series. I’m so glad that you covered it.
I enjoyed the show but I also thought the ending was a little anticlimactic.
I really enjoyed this show and thanks for the recap TT. I’m shocked(but happy) that Ashley and Alejandro.
Nakita needs to take another trip to Rome, I would watch a 2nd season of just her getting a 2nd chance in Rome.
I watched this show from the beginning and at first was really bothered by Nakita “my size 10 body” (on hearing this it was *slow blinking while the lone cricket chirps in the background*) and Gina’s attitude of “I’m better than all a you!” but they slowly started to endear themselves to me. I was cheering for Nakita and Alberto but it wasn’t meant to be at this time. So glad for Ashley and Alejandro, hope Shay will cutdown/stop the drinking so she can find the right man (or get back with Emiliano!!) and Mercedes, girl, you are a lot of work. Bon Chance to all the women.
Rofl, I definitely looked when Nakita said that “size 10” statement. Like what? Girl. You’re not a 10 but you’re absolutely gorgeous so who cares. She was defiantly my favorite, followed by Gina, then Ashley, then Shay, and finally Mercedes. Mercedes was so annoying and Shay though earnest, was always over the top, I’m glad she got a hold of herself later lol
I love the show and I love Alejandro !!
I love the show and I would like to know what the process is for being considered for the show. I would love to be granted an opportunity to be a part of this process.
