It’s 2:40 am and I have to be awake in the daytime tomorrow (today!) to handles some business. But I at least have to take a peek at this three hour episode and at least start my 90 Day Fiancé recap.
OMG! Are we really going to start with David? I figured we would have to wait the entire three hours for this moment! Let me get prepared for this! I’m so excited! Meh they are probably just going to say they have never heard of her and no one by that name lives here. Yep. That is exactly what happened. It’s an old man who says he has lived there since 1995 and no one who looks like the Lana in the photo lives around there. Did David ever thing about doing a reverse photo search on the photo before he flew his dumbass all the way over there for the millionth time? Poor David.
Big Ed & Rose
Rose’s sister is jealous as hell that Rose for a meal ticket out of Thailand. Ed takes Rose to the Sheraton in Palawan. It’s a very fancy place where lots of tourists go. She loved her first plane ride and her beautiful hotel room. Ed likes the running water and the air conditioner. He gives Rose a bikini and a teddy. She has no idea what a teddy is. Then he gives her a toothbrush, toothpaste and mouth wash and tells her that her breath stinks. Rose was insulted. Her bad breath is from an ulcer not from poor oral hygiene. She wants to punch Ed in the face. Rose’s English is really quite good. She calls him ugly in her language.

Once again, Ed has to win Rose back. He takes her on a boat ride to an island with a lot of monkeys. I would not like this. Monkeys are one of the reasons I waiver about living in Costa Rica. They are cute on TV but monkeys are mean! It doesn’t take Ed too long to figure this out. The monkeys don’t scare Rose. She thinks Ed is funny for being scared. Later the go to a very romantic dinner set up by the Sheraton. Rose tells production she is hoping he will propose. But Ed always manages to fuck things up.
So he brings up that her sister asked him for money and he wants to know if she knew about it. She sure seems nervous/guilty about this question. But she says she knew nothing about it. Ed believes her and they decide to confront the sister together. YAY everything is good. Until Rose brings up wanting two babies. Ed. You are going to have to make some compromises for the woman you supposedly love.
The next day Ed calls his friend Rich to get advice about the kid situation. Rich tells him he has to tell her that he doesn’t want any more kids. Ed knows that is the right thing to do, but he doesn’t want to lose her.
Ash & Avery
These two have been fighting for days. Avery is going to attend one of his seminars. I think that will make things worse. Also Ash’s ex-wife, Sian, has agreed to meet Avery. Ash’s “Ramona eyes” freak me out. Among other things. Ash’s seminar is to help women identify the perfect man for them. I hope step one is “don’t pick a fraud like me.” He flirts with all the women in the room first. Ash’s seminar is utter crap and extremely sexist. Ash is a moron and even he doesn’t know what he is talking about. He can’t even get through the “seminar.” He literally has to step outside to collect himself. Avery goes after him.

The “participants” are laughing at him inside. Production had to pay these people to do this. Avery sends him back in and tells him to talk about love languages. He makes that sexist too. This is going to be the end of this relationship. Wait. Wait! After the seminar they went to the beach to debrief. I all I really care about is Avery’s grey sweater at this point. I need this in my life. Anyway, did he just tell Avery that SHE was being patronizing? That must be all her masculine energy right? Avery is finally figuring out that Ash is dumber than a box of rocks. His bizarre “understanding” women is hysterical. And he will not back off this balderdash. He knows he is busted and looks like a fool so he storms off. Avery stupidly chases after him. That’s the reaction he wanted.
Tom & Darcey
Tom has decided to rent a car and driver to go to Connecticut and tell Darcey that he is still in love with her. He has written her a letter. I agree with Tom when he says this is not what he thought Connecticut would look like. I wasn’t expecting little rural towns that could be anywhere, because I just assumed everyone there was fancy. Tom comes face to face with Darcey and gives her a sweet apology. I love Tom. Darcey won’t even take the letter. I hate Darcey. That was just terrible. Darcey is not worthy of Tom. Darcey’s clone rips up the letter and puts it in the trash.
Erika & Stephanie
Stephanie is a snotty rich girl who expects everything to go her way all the time. The day after their big fight at Erika’s friend’s house, they meet at the Botanical Gardens to talk. Where did Erika get new clothes to wear. Stephanie wore heels and complains about her feet hurting and is concerned about snakes. Erika says she is tired of having the same conversations with her over and over. She was embarrassed in front of her friends. Erika needs to dump the girl. Erika says that everything Stephanie had an issue with are things she knew about before she got here. The things Erika has issues with, like the lack of physical intimacy are things she had not been told before Stephanie arrived.

Sadly, Erika forgives her. She’s not going to change, Erika. Erika takes Stephanie to this cool place where there is an Aboriginal guy who makes boomerangs. Now this I would love. As it turns out, it was their best date ever. A day or so later, Erika takes Stephanie on a boat ride. Stephanie is afraid of boats. Stephanie ruins everything. Oh wow. She’s taking her cage diving with sharks. No mam. But Stephanie did it. They actually had a nice date!
Geoffrey & Varya
It’s time for these two to leave Siberia. Varya is not sure she wants to move forward with the criminal. There is so much more he is not telling you, Varya! You in danger, girl! She’s not hearing me so she is going to go camping in the woods with one of Geoffrey’s friends, Igor. He met him in Mexico (probably with one of his many former wives). So she is going out to the middle of nowhere to camp with yet another man she doesn’t know. Igor hypes Geoffrey up to Varya. I can’t believe she is out in the woods alone with two men she barely knows. What happened to not staying in the hotel room with him the first night in case he is a serial killer?
Usman & Lisa
Why can’t Lisa at least learn a basic greeting in Arabic for Usman’s mother? How hard is it to learn at least hello, goodbye and thank you? Usman’s mom is worried that Lisa will make her a slave in the US. Usman pleads his case from a financial standpoint to his mother. He agrees to return to see her every year. Usman’s mom is worried about the racism in the US. But she eventually gives her blessing. Usman is still worried about Lisa’s bossy attitude and her jealous issues. As he should be.

Usman is off to get a wedding ring for Lisa. He’s shopping with his brother. Nigerians don’t exchange rings as part of their ceremony. So he struggles to find a simple band that she wants. Usman already knows she will complain about whatever he picks out. Three days before the wedding, Lisa is already telling him that he must propose in person. But she says it in a very domineering way. Usman says before he proposes they have some things they need to work out. Namely, she has got to stop being such a huge cunt to him. I paraphrase. He expects to wear the pants in the relationship but Lisa refuses to let him be the man. She says she is not a dog to be ordered around. Usman points out what I am screaming at the TV. That is how you treat him! She storms off.
Pillow Talk
It’s six am. I still have have to do all the crap work for this post tomorrow. But, I just couldn’t wait to watch this THREE HOUR EPISODE. I thought it was the finale based on how things were wrapping up. But even the David story has more storyline! I need it to be next Sunday. Hopefully I will get this up sometime today. I kind of hope that the person helping me out tomorrow bails. She’ll probably call me tomorrow. I’m watching Pillow Talk now. This show is like crack!

Everyone on Pillow Talk hates Tom! 🙁 I feel like they were on another of the 999 90 Day franchises. But I only know him from this one and I love him! They are all screaming for her not to take the letter. I was all, just take the letter! He loves you! I should point out that I suck at relationships. All kinds of relationships.
I’m on the struggle bus again and really not up to do much recapping. I am watching old 90 day Fiance shows on Demand. I’m watching season 2 of Before the ninety days. Darcey is on there with a younger guy. She looks ten years younger and 30 pounds lighter. I checked the date and it aired in 2018! I honesty wasn’t sure if it was another Darcey who lives in Connecticut!
I used to skip over the Darcy and Jessie scenes, but now as Darcy metamorphosises into a human troll doll, I am OBSESSED! She cracks me up. There’s a rumor she and her twin, Stacey, are getting their own spin off. I’m there, but it will probably suck.
All the surgical enhancements have made Darcey look a lot different. But her personalities still the same.
OMG you MUST watch the entire Darcey/Jesse saga to understand this lady! I do think Jesse was controlling but all she wants it to get engaged! That is all that matters! While I think Tom wanted to be on tv, she is SO insecure and I do believe that all she did was talk about Jesse whilst w Tom and was terribly insecure! I will admit she is good tv!!!
I haven’t finished watching this yet and THANKYOU for recapping. As an Australian, I have to weigh in about Ash, and my daughter and I are researching him. His social media address popped up during his fakeass seminar, thanks TLC, and he’s currently copping it.
He obviously has never run a seminar before or one like that was supposed to be.
He’s 38 years old, and I truly believe he’s an escort. I think the whole @themindbodycoach thing is just a flimsy cover for connecting with single women. He was so obviously cacking himself and he becomes so tongue tangled when asked about his true occupation, I just think it has to be some form of escort work. We’ll get back to you if we get proof but I think this or something like it is going to pop up. Could be why his brother is so uncomfortable also.
Ash may have been born here, but its also likely from his accent that he was born in Mauritius, and his family must be horrified.
Darcey is an odd bird. Is Stacy her twin? She looks much better! Sausage casing is not outerwear, Darcey.
First of all, TT, I was always Team Tom as well. I don’t understand why everyone is so against him. Darcy was needy, clingy. Insecure. And that was when she was sober. Tom was trying to get to know her irl and all Darcy could do was make blatant marriage references and get drunk. Was Tom blameless for what ended up happening in their relationship? No. But Darcy plays the victim card CONSTANTLY. She brings the drama and then complains about all the drama. And who has to pack two suitcases to go to lunch, which is actually coffee???!!! Traveling light is not her forte, that’s for sure.
You hit the nail on the head! She took all of those clothes because she thought “hoped” she and Tom would stay together. Darcy is way too insecure and needy. She needs to work on Darcy before bringing a man into her life. No man will stay with a woman like that very long.
I started a firestorm on the Mind Body Coach fb page today. What I saw during the “seminar ” shocked me. Ash completely plagiarized two well known authors. For those of you who may not be familiar with them, Mark Gungor is a popular author, motivational speaker, and has many videos online of portions of his seminars. Ash stole Gungor’s work relating to the different ways men and women’s brains operate. He repeated almost verbatim parts of Gungor’s seminar about the boxes. You should watch the videos; Gungor is hilarious when he talks about this. Unlike Ash who made everything sound sexist which the original content is not. THEN, Ash stole from Gary Chapman’s best seller called The Five Languages of Love. The chapters of the book are exactly what Ash was listing as different love languages. This is outright copyright infringement. One cannot steal intellectual property and use it as Ash did. And that’s what I said on his fb page. Holy mother of god, women came out of the woodwork to call me names, insult me, make fun of me. I tried to explain plagiarism and copyright law to them. I might as well have had the conversation with my dog. They seemed unable to understand my point and wanted to argue about make and female energy and polarity. I was simply stating a fact: Ash is using other people’s work and passing it off as his own. A professional public speaker, writer, musician, photographer, performer, etc. knows about copyright infringement and stays miles away from anything remotely resembling someone else’s work. I have nothing against Ash although I thought it was very telling he told Avery he was single. But I was shocked and disgusted by his plagiarism.
” I tried to explain plagiarism and copyright law to them” Um, I don’t think you know WTF you are talking about. Sure Ash is a moron, But he can say whatever he wants at his ridiculous seminars. He’s not writing a book. He’s spouting off stupidity.
Wow. I don’t know why you would say I don’t know what I’m talking about. Copyright infringement isn’t limited to writing and books. Intellectual property is any creative work product. It is illegal to use someone else’s writing, music, photography, performance, as your own. People think just because they see online they can use it however they want. What if I took your 90 Day Fiance blogs and did a podcast of them that people paid to hear? You wouldn’t consider that copyright infringement? A judge would if you sued me. That’s what Ash did. He stole other people’s work and used it as his own. There are very narrow exceptions that can be made under Fair Use law but none of them apply in this case. He indicated he wants to expand the seminar part of his business because of the money he could make. So he plans to continue to use other people’s work to make money and that’s wrong.
I did not hear all of Ash’s speech but the part I did hear was words I’ve read and heard before from several sources. It’s difficult to call plagiarism on ideas and thoughts unless they are a new idea. What I heard him say is what many people have expressed.
When he got into female/male power that is what several religious writers have expressed.
Maybe it was in the part I missed.
Ash was horrible either way.
Actually, it’s not hard to prove copyright infringement in some cases like this where a person lifted content almost verbatim from another person’s work. And it’s not some of the psychobabble he was using. The whole box part was stolen from Mark Gungor’s seminars. Except Gungor is hilarious and not sexist when he performs his work. You should look up the videos on YouTube. Look for the nothing box. Then you’ll see what I’m talking about. If you missed that part of his talk, take my word for it. He parroted this in an unfunny, sexist way. Same thing with the five love languages. His talk was like reading the chapter headings from the book.
As someone who has been a professional public speaker for large corporations, I am well versed in the ins and outs of copyright infringement. You cannot use ANYTHING from another’s work be it writing, music, images, aspects of a performance, etc., without buying rights and permissions.
And as Ash indicated he was planning on expanding the seminar part of his business it means he will profit from using other people’s work and presenting it as his own. This is not only unprofessional but illegal.
He can talk about the ideas he has read in books published by others, he just needs to credit them. For example, “Gary Chapman talks about love languages…”
You are correct LG. But I’m trying to ignore her droning on and on about this hoping she will get tired of talking to herself.
I bet Darcey ran out to the trash can after her sister left to get that letter
Totally agree.
Now if you will excuse me, I am going back to watch old episodes of 90 Day Fiance. I am fucking obsessed with this show for some reason.
It is an unbelievably comforting show! The travel helps.
Darcey in Season 1 of Before the 90 Days is the best. They’re both so over the top plus it’s set in Amsterdam which is incredible. I liked her and Jesse even though he was awful to her. By far my favorite franchise.
TT – Have you watched the whole Danielle/Muhamed storyline?? Dear gawd…….. I literally couldn’t stop watching……
Hubby would always tease me about the shit shows I watch and HE got me hooked on this!!!! We then watched all the different series and episodes! Its a gift! LOL
It is very addictive, the most entertaining storylines (to me) have been Danielle and Mohammed and Nicole and Azan.
I am no Darcey fan, but Tom should have just ended things with her and not drag out for camera time. He told her he found someone that suited him better. Good for him, no need to drive to CT. His weight comment and age comments showed his true character. I don’t like any of the couples this season. Pillow talk is my fave part of this show.
I think they both wanted to stick around for the $$ and publicity. They both knew they weren’t a couple any more, hadn’t been since she left England. Totally agree about the couples this season and pillow talk.
I cringe everytime Lisa refers to Usman’s mother as Mommy which is way to often.
It cracks me up when his friends and family call Lisa “old white lady”.
This show is the best. And Pillow talk is even better!
Darcy & Tom dated for like 6 days 2 seasons ago? Ok maybe last season. But the 6 days were cringe-worthy – and yet they drag this shit on and on. They fought the whole time together last year and never really connected. They are dragging her story out way past it’s expiration date.
I stupidly ignored all of you guys begging me to watch/recap these shows for ages. I am now staying up all night watching all the series. I may not live long enough to get through all of them. THERE ARE ELEVENTY BILLIONS SERIES! I watched Before the ninety days season two so far. Now I am watching season one. OMG at Jesse’s mother and stepfather. No wonder he liked Darcey she is batshit crazy. She’s going to break an ankle in Amsterdam walking cobble stone streets in Loubs!
The dinner with Mom and Stepdad was epic!
I KNOW, RIGHT! I could watch that scene on repeat forever. There was so much to look at I could not take it all in in one viewing. His mother and stepfather are so eccentric and free spirits and then at the same time so judgmental!
There are people in the first season I have never heard of before so I kind of already know things will explode.
Keep watching Darcy and Jesse. It gets better…..!
the promise ring!!!!! OMG such great episodes!!!
Excellent recap- agree, I am addicted to this show.
I’d be surprised if any of these couples end up together.
Whoa/ that picture of Ed- the years have not been kind to him.
Agree, too, I’ve been addicted for a few seasons but still have a few bits to watch. And yes, seems pretty low odds of making it guess that’s part of the thrill 😉
Omg ! Is that Chi-Chi’s Mexican restaurant ?? I worked at one in 1989! Great tips & started my love for Mexican (I have lived in California for 20 years now & do love/eat more authentic now but had to start somewhere )
So happy you’re loving this series, TT!
OMG, Chi Chi’s! I completely forgot about them! Early Tex Mex for gringos.
LG, even crediting the source does not give one a free pass to use other’s work. The exceptions under Fair Use are extremely limited. One still cannot make extensive use of another’s work just by crediting the source. That’s still copyright infringement. Just like political campaigns can’t just use songs any way they feel like, just like people can’t copy movies, just like comedians can’t use other comedians jokes, self improvement speakers can’t take whatever content they want from other’s books and seminars to use, especially egregious when it’s practically verbatim.
Call me crazy but I don’t think Ash has ever done a seminar on his relationship coaching before. I think he is a male escort and the women advises are his horizontal clients.
Update on Ash’s copyright infringement: I read an article today about many others noticing how Ash stole material from Mark Gungor. Numerous posts are accumulating on different sites about how he stole verbatim content from Gungor. People are posting the clips from Gungor’s seminars along with their comments and viewers who weren’t familiar with Gungor’s work are shocked when they it. So I wasn’t the only one who noticed and objected.
Also, I checked back on the mind body coach fb page and my comments were removed as well as the posts of his supporters attacking me. In their place were reviews written all in a very short time frame extolling his virtues by the people who had been attacking me.
I had said my piece here and on his fb page and was disappointed that people didn’t seem to understand the seriousness of his actions but wasn’t going to spend any more time and energy on it. Reading the article about how many others are calling him out gives me some satisfaction because if he isn’t a big enough man to admit his error and apologize at least he is on notice that if he continues to steal other’s work he may not get away with it.
Does Erika remind anyone else of Kelly Osborne? Erika has a quirky style like Kelly but a little more animated. I think they have similar facial features and similar accents.
I just started watching this show and am obsessed as well. I reallllllllllllllllly hate Ed. The way he treats Rose Marie is appalling. She’s so much more mature than Pony Boy at 23. I hope she finds a better meal ticket.
I kinda want to marry Rose myself.
Haha. You would be much better for her than Ed.
I commented on Soja Boy’s IG yesterday and had 10 friend requests from Nigerian men soo if anyone wants to be on next season there’s plenty of men looking lol
I have not watched this season, however my all time favorite couples are ( in no particular order)
Darcy and Jessie/Tom,
Azan/ Nicole…May is adorable.
Larissa/Colt/His Mother
Angela /Michael
Pedro/Chantelle
Anfisa/Jorge
90 Day Fiancee, Love after lock Up and Life After Lock Up are addictive.
