Y’all! We need to talk about 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way on TLC. There seems to be a billion 90 Day Fiancé spinoffs, but 90 Day Fiancé The Other Way is by far my favorite. In this spin-off the American moves to the other country. The entire thing is insane.
A single mother has left her child behind temporarily to take her half-Korean baby to Korea to live with the baby daddy. After all sorts of promises about preparing for her arrival, she arrives to find that her Korean lover is flat broke, and they will be living with his parents in a tiny hovel. Oh, and he owes $30K in fines for some sort of criminal activity where he was selling stolen cell phones.
Down in Brazil, the American guy has moved to be with the woman he has knocked up. There too, they live in squalor. And she seems to be online with other foreign men all the time. Men who it seems send her money. They bonded this week after being broken up for the most part when their child was born.
An American woman has taken her young son to live in South Africa with her new husband. He’s a gambling addict. And they live in a very rough part of town.
Some idiot guy moved down to Equador to live with chickens and sheep in practically third world conditions. It is there it is discover that she seems to still have a boyfriend
Shocking Information!
But the HUGE NEWS this week is Jenny, who is 60 years old, moved to India to be with the love of her life, Sumit. He has been very shady about introducing her to his family. Sumit says they will never approve of the wedding. He disappears frequently to go be with his family leaving her alone in a country where she does not speak the language.
But at the end of last night’s episode, Sumit dropped a bomb to production. Sumit is already married!
He told production, “She gave up a lot for me and keeps on thinking that we are going to get married. It is very unfair to her. And the big secret is that I’m married.”
Did I mention that she quit her job and gave up everything in America to move to India? Basically, it seems he is catfishing her! I am shocked.
Is anyone else watching this show? I need it to be Monday like RIGHT NOW.
He was catfishing her at first!! He pretended to be this hot buff white guy!! I can’t remember the name he pretended to be.
But they been together for 7 years!!!!
I’m so late replying I’ve had this upper respiratory virus. I’ve watched ever 90 day fiancé show since this it began. Sumit was using the name Michael Jones when he first catfished Jenny.
TT I will be here reading & commenting on any 90 day show you choose to recap. I wish I had seeing this sooner and Joined in the posting sooner with everyone. Next week I will !!!
Rumspringa! I am so watching this, solely on your recommendation.
And designing a rumspringa tee because I guffaw every time I think of your exclamation.
Last night’s episode isn’t updated On Demand yet. First thing i check for Tuesday morning!! Love it.
Hilarious how everyone has something they are hiding. Is that a thing?lol.
So he’s .already married. Hmmm. I actually thought that after trying everything else as an option. But quickly thought no way.
He’s been nothing but dishonest. She’s not an ignorant woman.. I don’t get it.
I also had a suspicion that he may be married when I first watched, but dismissed it. I actually liked Sumit and was hoping that my suspicions were wrong.
This is far and away my favorite show on TV right now. TLC airs 2 hours episode of Before the 90 Days on Sunday nights. But this show is only an hour. I want more!!
I want more too!! I can’t believe he catfished her!!!! I knew something was up when he kept leaving her alone I just thought his family was really strict and believed in their culture marrying an American totally out of the qurstion!! I wish this one was 2 hours an hour isn’t enough!!
My new guilty pleasure! I can’t believe The single mom went all the way to Korea and found this out. Also the part about the 60 year old marrying the Indian guy. Her daughter met with him and saw right through him.
I love this show! I’ll be watching and reading all the recaps!
Same!
Tamara we need you to review 90 days : before the 90 days as well!!
Dont forget Laura, Aladin and the jiggy jiggy! LMAO
I would totally marry Aladin if we could live in Tunis rather than Qatar…. IS THAT SO WRONG?
Nope..nope..He is ffffiiiiinnneeeee
Yes please. He is fine as hellllll! I’ll throw away all sex toys for him lol.
I think Aladin is such a cutie…but every time they say “jiggy jiggy”…I’m sorry I throw up in my mouth a little!
Aladin (which I always read as Aladdin) is hot!
Gosh, he’s gorgeous. No wonder she wants to constantly jiggy jiggy!
I’ve been to Europe, the main countries , so this show (finally updated) I love seeing Brazil, India, Ecuador etc. and its really interesting, the culture and seeing how they live.
Deavon, in her interviews, looks so different and older. Her baby is adorable, Jihoon is funny but oh dear.
I don’t know if I would move to the other side of the World for bad sex…. hot fella or not
I am addicted to this show. Why are Americans so trusting of everyone? The Korean guy said he didn’t understand what his American girlfriend was saying, hilarious! Jenny cashed in all her retirement to go live with Summit. Paul is bat shit crazy!!!! He was arrested for arson in Kentucky.
The only thing better than this show would be one called 90 Day Fiancé After Lock Up.
??????PERFECT!
Now THAT’S a show I would binge watch. Can you imagine the fuckery? It would take trash tv to a whole new low and I would love every single second! LMAO!??????
I’m no catch but I wouldn’t cross the street for anyone like these people or the conditions they come with. No 7-11 Slurpees, no Target, no TJ Maxx or Marshalls, no Big Lots, no Red Lobster , I think you catch my drift. Don’t forget in some places no indoor plumbing. Yikes!
” No 7-11 Slurpees, no Target, no TJ Maxx or Marshalls, no Big Lots, no Red Lobster” can’t imagine this mindset. You need to gett out more, my friend.
I feel sorry for people who have never had falafel made by an old Arab man sitting on the sidewalk frying them outside a beautiful Libyan movie theatre while watching a movie. The beauty of the Sahara desert. The excitement of the souks. Wandering around Paris or taking a train in Romania to to Transylvanian. The museums, The Mediterranean sea. Tunis is amazing. I’m not as into India and Asian countries. There is so much more to the world that the 7-11 and Red Lobster. You can get much better lobster on a Carribean beach. This comment just BLOWS MY MIND.
I’ll be watching?.
Jihoon’s tiny dog is adorable !!
Except for the fact he takes better care of the dog than his brand new baby or his American girlfriend!!
I want to travel with you when you go to St. Lucia, Romania, and the Mediterranean sea. I want to be free and just go with a backpack!
I thought we were all running away from the USA together. I am bringing my cat.
Tamara, I could not agree with you more! I can’t get enough of our big, beautiful world and the people/foods/sights/smells, etc. It makes you feel alive.
I am obsessed with this show! I don’t understand people giving up everything for someone they don’t know very well.
I was hoping Jenny and Sumit were going to live happily every after so I was totally blindsided by his revelation! He has certainly turned out to be real shady…
I am waiting for the guy that moved from Washington to Ecuador realizes she doesn’t love him.
TT- I agree with you about my mindset. Unfortunately being ill limits my abilities in every aspect of my life. Don’t feel sorry for me because in my case I’m one of the lucky ones. So I find joy in the littlest things. I would love to travel and I live thru your posts about places you’ve been. Your site allows people to connect and share experiences with others that they may never have the chance to connect with. Seriously, Thank you! Oddly, I don’t like seafood so I order chicken at Red Lobster.
I literally yell at the screen like these folks can hear me every time I watch this show. Every one of these couples is a little “special” but Deavan right now is blowing my mind. At first I was a little suspect at her conception timeline yet after seeing her son I admit I was being extra…but how do you give up the security you’ve built for your children and move to a different country with a newborn without having the details of where you’re going to be living and what your finance’s job is? It’s not even the fact that it’s a different county (that would actually be kinda cool under the right circumstances)…but this guy has shown he’s irresponsible…he would have had to show me receipts before I even thought about buying a ticket!
Oh and side rant…Paul is bat butt crazy…I wish my husband would talk about DNA tests right after I gave birth with no pain killers…I’d smack him with the placenta!
Lol Paul is frightening
He’s totally bat shit crazy
I’d run if I was her
Omg!!!! I love this show. Since the beginning my husband ( pretending not to watch ) was telling me sumit was married. He was ready to throw a super bowl-like party last night when he was confirmed. Glad you are watching. I’m looking forward to the comments.
Ok and yes Paul is crazy. Who runs and hides in the dog house to calm down? And I must be crazy cuz I like him and want them to work out. Lol.
I love Paul!!! and Jihoon. Cant stand Corey bc he has no backbone.
I love this show. I don’t watch the 90 days shows but this one has my attention. I think Paul (the guy who lives in Tonatins) was on the OG 90 days? Maybe? Regardless, watching his wife have that baby with no pain meds during a “shift change” was torturous. I felt for her.
I have opinions on all of them. The guy who moved to Equador seems the most clueless. I think the South Korea couple is the most likely to succeed. Maybe also South Africa. Which, I had no idea was so dangerous. Maybe it’s just where they live.
Johannesburg, which is where I think they live, is a very dangerous town. Bishop Desmond Tutu and Mandela both lived in an area with high, electric and barbed wire fences and patrolled by armed guards.I understand unemployment is about 40%. No one goes out after dark. Cape town is much safer.. Other than that, South Africa is a beautiful country with lovely people and Cutie Trevor Noah is from there.
Cape Town is not safer. I have family there. No one goes out at night and you do not stop at the traffic lights. If you had been there you would know this. It’s dangerous. Corey spent 40k on some bimbo who just wants to set her family up in a bar business. Korean guy wants to get to USA. That Angela, is she for real ?
I love this show! Am rooting for Deavan and Jihoon. Production is extremely heavily involved, just as much as if it were a Bravo show. They gave us a heads up in previous episodes with Jenny saying she felt like a mistress.
Wow! My dvr cut off the end so I did not hear Sumit say he was married!!! What a jerk. He played her big time. But why? She doesn’t have money. I think he should Be seriously afraid of her daughter and her wife. Jenny has a lot of courage to not only relocate, but venture out on her own, both day and night. She actually seems so nice, I feel terrible for her. Did he tell her he was married, or just tell the camera?? The American guy in Brazil, and that guy Paul strike me as men who can’t get a date in America.
My whole family, we are addicted to this show. My next cat I’m naming Jihoon luv that name. I feel bad for the kids left behind so their parents can chase “love”
When Paul is upset and flees…funniest thing on television. The first time I saw him run away, I gave him a pass. I thought it might be difficult to try and sprint in flip flops uphill. Nope…he always runs like he is trying to take flight. Very, very dramatic. Possibly even funnier, is the time he finally gave in to Karine and went swimming in the river. He was fully suited up in multiple layers, fishing waders, and a condom so he wouldn’t contract any diseases/parasites. He is lucky he didn’t drown when the waders filled up. Watching him flop around when he finally was able to pull himself out…definately must see tv. He certainly travels well prepared… ANY scenario that could possibly occur, he has the solution packed in one of his humongous plastic totes and a little piece of hair from mom. LOL
Omg the suit and condoms!!! Its just as bad as seeing him asking for work in his bulletproof vest, lol!! Tiny Tim on sunday nights, I cant with him!!! Only bad part of the show is the overtly fake stories, seriously do they understand watching Paul run is way better than a catfish story we all know how it ends, fake Rickie, etc!
Bahahaha…
I find Tim’s overly plucked eyebrows to be extremely distracting. I stop listening to whatever dribble he is spewing because I am intently focused on his brows while trying to decide if he has lash extensions or is wearing mascara. These shows are great entertainment…
I think that Paul is on the spectrum. So many of his idiosyncrasies and mannerisms are clues, as are his exceptionally poor social skills. I can’t watch them anymore, because I kinda feel like he’s being exploited for literally not knowing any better. People like Angela… she deserves what she gets… But Karinne would have no way of knowing or understanding about Paul. She’s a child herself.
Agreed. The exploitation of people like Paul, who obviously has psychological problems, is sometimes hard to take. However, that is balanced out by those who abandon their families and lives in America just to have sex (a/k/a jiggy-jiggy) …. they sure do deserve what they get.
Angela and Darcy are the most embarrassing females I ever seen
They are the most embarrassing to all females
I am watching with you. It seems all these people think Americans are rich. They get disappointed quickly. Paul does seem like he needs therapy to help him cope.
I love this show but find myself yelling at the idiots that think the rest of the world is less than the US somehow but do no research or prepare to move out of the US.
I am so late to the 90 day fiance thing. I have binge-watched the regular show, and now am watching the happily ever after shows. But every day it seems there is another spinoff – will I ever catch up? This spinoff sounds good.
I am the same as you. Got hooked on the other way series first, then I binged watched all the other shows affiliated with the 90 days franchises – I am totally hooked and caught up now. Oh and I also watched the family chantel because they are from 90 days too.
I watch all of the 90 Day shows. This is by far my favorite. When Sumit announced he was married I yelled at the TV I knew it. Now I’m wondering does he have children also? Was the person on the phone really his dad or his wife? Jenny is his mistress without her knowledge.
Completely off topic…but I just saw previews..RHOC..Tamara says to Eddie..Or I can drink and let you do butt stuff…and he says …but I don’t want to do butt stuff with you. Freudian slip? Lol
So many desperate people !
I love this show!! Sumit, although shady for initially cat fishing Jenny with a fake photo, seemed genuine and sweet. I loved that he was/is so terrified of his parents. LOL as a parent, I can appreciate the respect he has for them…however I would prefer open communication as opposed to secrets like Sumit is doing. I am so sad for Jenny!!
I read in an article that before Jenny moved to be with Sumit she knew that he was in an arranged marriage. The same article also claimed that that the entire situation with the guy, Caesar, waiting to meet his girlfriend, Maria, in Mexico is all crap fabricated by him and production. The article points out that if he really didn’t have funds in his account for her ticket to Mexico then the flight would have never been booked he would have been informed and there would have been no cancellation of her flight since it was never purchased in the first place. In the videos he has of her she never uses his name or refers to any particular situation. She basically makes blanket statements that could apply to anyone. Also the guy is a wanna be actor and is using the show as a jump off for his career. I don’t know if any of this rings true but his situation is defiantly questionable.
I can’t imagine Caesar thinking this was an opportunity to become an actor. I just thought he was sadly stupid and falling for a scammer. I find his whole story heartbreaking. There are lots of stories out there, which is one reason I come here because Tamara verifies her info.
I think like all reality tv shows, the producers learn over time what the audience wants and then give it to them. There is a follow up series The Family Chantel that I see bits of and that seems so amazing fabricated and the acting is horrid.
Maybe Jenny knew that Sumit was married but people do lots of stupid shit for love.
I would watch The Family Jihoon. They are adorable and not boring like Chantel’s weird family.
SweetT- I agree with you about TT she always knows the facts. I don’t put much into other sites but the same one alleged that Jenny went to the show Catfish with her story and they either turned her down or just didn’t respond. Who knows? You’re right the production team is giving the audience entertainment.
I am totally addicted to this show. I am so glad you are recapping the show. TT! Tim is the one that totally creeps me out.
Someone on this site summed it up by calling him “Tiny Tim”. I don’t know what it is, but his proportions seem off. Don’t get me wrong,I am no catch myself but I wouldn’t go on television. His girlfriend Jennifer might be one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. He had better lock that up.
I have a co worker that shares with me her love of this show and because I read here I know a little and ask some reasonable questions…She gets really dramatic answering my questions and I’m now questioning my not watching. I recommended to her to read and comment here, she cracks me up with her concerns….
