I am going to do a 90 Day Fiance Happily Ever After recap tonight, just to to keep my mind off of the movie I watched tonight. It’s a REALLY good movie. Hah! Or not. I just went to double check the name of the movie. It’s called The Vanishing of Sidney Hall on the Googler. It is at 11% on Rotten Tomatoes and all of the other reviews are terrible. I thought it was a good movie but shortly after you start getting into it, it gets really depressing. So I guess don’t watch it. Sorry. Also, any childhood or adult traumas you may have will be triggered there. It’s hard to pick movies from the premium channels just by a title and very short description. And so many are about terrible things. The blurb for this one was “Famous author Sidney Hall goes missing with no explanation.
In other news, I just used up all of my cherry tomatoes (except for the Cherokee purple to make tomato soup. It needs, something. I just added a bit of truffle butter and am going to let it simmer. I’ve been a bit under the weather the past few days. Anyway, moving on. I haven’t seen some of the couples on this franchise of 90 Day Fiance and I won’t have pictures for most of them because I don’t normally do 90 Day Fiance recaps that often.
Larissa & Colt
Despite Lara being arrested three times for domestic violence, TLC continues to pay her for being on yet another season. Le sigh. I’ve had enough of these two. On this episode, Colt is in Chicago? I forget where to hook up with yet another Brazilian girl. The met and Colt used the smooth line of, “Wanna go back to my hotel and have sex?” And it worked. Because Brazilian chicks apparently will do anything to be on TV. Her name is Jess and she is not happy that he hasn’t told his co-dependent mother doesn’t know about her. He just met her 24 hours ago. Jess says she likes Colt because he likes sex and she likes sex. She let’s us know she is the boss in the bedroom. I didn’t need to know that. On the second night of this rendezvous these two are already a disaster.

I could care less about Larissa the criminal who somehow got a green card despite her criminal charges. Larissa used her TLC check to send money to her kids. OH WAIT NO SHE DIDN’T SHE HAD EVERY PLASTIC SURGERY IN THE WORLD. Now she wants to be a stripper. The Larissa scenes all seem very staged.
Karine & Paul
These two are still in Brazil and they have a new baby. Maybe the baby will keep Karine from sleeping with other guys. Wow. They have been married for two years and living in Brazil for one year. They have decided to move back to the US because they need more money now that they have a baby. Karine has a two year green card on a spousal visa. I presume they will live with Paul’s much beleaguered mom. Karine is not sure she wants to live in the US. She’s always wanted Paul to live in Brazil. Or for him just to support her from the US.

Oh wow Paul calls his mom on the day of his flight asking her if they can stay with her. WTF? She says no. He needs to support his family and if she lets them stay there they would never leave and her house is not big enough to house them. She says she will help with a hotel for a couple of days but that it is. Karine’s mom is very sad to see her go. Perhaps, now Karine understands the sacrifices Paul has made for her. Karine’s mother is worried because Paul “doesn’t do what he says” and she is worried Paul will just send her back.
Kalani & Asuelu
I love these two but sometimes it is hard to tell with foreigners if they struggle with the language or if they have some sort of developmental delay. I’m starting to think with Asuelu, it could be the latter. At the very least he is extremely insecure and has not had much experience with the would out side of Samoa. But he is only 24 and Kalani is 31 so there is that. He works at a little job selling frozen yogurt or something. But after work, Asuelu goes to play volleyball or plays video video games and does nothing with their two kids. He doesn’t see that he needs to assimilate into American culture. He’s also very homesick and wants to visit his family.

Asuelu decides to take Kalani out on a date without the kids. This will please her and give him a chance to say he wants to go for a visit to Samoa. But his idea of a romantic date is to take her to Axe throwing bar. These Axe throwing bars sure are making the rounds of reality TV lately. So also very scripted. They were both surprisingly good at it and seem to be having fun. Until Asuelu says he wants to take the new kid to meet his family in Samoa. She says they can’t afford it with him only working part time. Perhaps use this goal to get him off his has and make more money?
Elizabeth & Andrei
I know most of you are going to find Andrei to be an asshole. And he is by American standards. But men in some other countries are…. for lack of a better term, still a bit wild and not as domesticated as American men. I for one like that. But if you don’t you need to fish in an American pond. Elizabeth seems to be acclimating to it fairly well but her friends and family are not. Currently she is pissed because at a family dinner, Andrei announced without mentioning it to her that he was planning a Moldovan wedding at his home church. Although they are already married. He needs their baby to be baptized in his home church and in order to do that. They must marry in that church. SOON. Andrei says her father is paying for the wedding.

These two live in Tampa. Tampa has a lot of strip clubs (like Atlanta) only my judgement based on few faces is that their strip clubs are skeevier. Also, I am jealous of Elizabeth and hers sisters full heads of hair. My hair used to be really thick and now it’s super thin. I probably have some disease that I would know about if I had health insurance. He sisters have Googled Moldova and have declared it the scariest place on Earth. Chile please. It’s no North Korea. It’s more like Romania, a place I visited alone I guess forever ago at this point. The gypsies were a bit problematic at the train station on my trip to Brasov but I never felt endangered even when me and the Canadian girl went out with some club owners who were probably drug dealers. They got me home safely. So shut up about Moldova, girls.
Eventually, Elizabeth goes to talk to her dad to ask him to pay for the wedding. It goes better than expected. He doesn’t say no. He is pissed that Andrei wasn’t man enough to ask him himself. But he hates seeing Elizabeth cry so he agrees. When she told Andrei he seemed very entitled.
Angela & Michael
These two are the original fat old white American lady trying to buy a young Nigerian man. It’s ridiculous. Angela who is 54 goes to see a gynocologist (gag) about her fertility since she recently had some sort of miraculous period years into menopause. The doctor tells Angela that she could have uterine cancer. Later, Angela talks to her mother. I hate that her mother is on the show. I feel like she doesn’t have the ability to consent. He mom has had cancer five times.
Tania & Syngin
Most of the South African men we see on reality TV in the US are total assholes. But Syngin is great. Probably one of the best guys on this show. Tania on the other hand is THE WORST. During their 90 days she took a 30 day class on something or other that involved her leaving Syngin to live in a shed on her mother’s property alone. I cannot believe they are still together. Tania recently got in a car accident and broke her ankle or something. At least Syngin makes it clear he is not ready to be a father. Tania doesn’t listen.

It looks like TLC rented them a house since their plan was to go to someplace warm until Tania got laid up and had to stay in Connecticut to rehab her foot on her health insurance. So neither of them have a job. Syngin gets a job as a bartender and Tania is worried he will come home drunk every night. You know, like she did for a month when she abandoned him to go to Costa Rica for a month. She met him when he was bartending. They both drink a lot.
TT, on the last episode, they said that Colt and Jess had met in Las Vegas several months before and they clicked, so this time he was going to Chicago to see her.
And tomorrow night, B90 Strikes Back!
Oh! Thanks. And I can’t wait for B90 strikes back! And 90 Day the other way! I’ll have to recap Below Deck so we shall see what I get to recap. I amy have to watch some without you because 90 day is time consuming. Maybe a Discussion thread for Strikes back and a very delayed recap of the other way?Honestly, you guys FORCED ME WITH RELENTLESS REQUESTS FOR RECAPS but they don’t really get that much traffic…
Wow that surprises me. Everyone I speak to love all the 90 day’s. Switching from Bravo to TLC.
That’s certainly true for me! TT hooked me this season on B90 and now I’m watching the Other Way and Happily Ever After. Much better than Bravo. I am foregoing Below Deck so far. May binge it later. I even started watching sMothered.
Thanks for the recap TT! As a 50 something women who worked since I was 15 years old, I really struggle with Andrei (any of the people who are not working but more than able) He def has a sense of entitlement and I truly do not understand! Also…my son married a girl from the UK on a 90 day visa… came over in August and was a working nurse by February which included a lot of studying to do US test and then get a job. Truly don’t understand these kids not working……
They can’t work until they get a green card. From you example alone your daughter in law didn’t work for the first six months.
Yeah, I don’t get the pairing of the couple in Utah (I can never remember how to spell their names.) With the guy who wants to go back to visit his family in Samoa…
I mean, other than the hot monkey lovin’ that has produced two children, what do they have in common?? It seems like she now has THREE kids on her hands, with her husband wanting to work part time, play his video games, and hang out with his buddies.
I LOVED how her Dad subtlety threatened the guy that it’s “time to grow up and take care of your family!!” But of course, young Romeo, acting like the petulant adolescent that is, simply stood there with a bored look on his face.
Seriously, the guy seems to not be playing with a full deck. His wife should dump him before she gets pregnant again.
Side note: I love watching Shark Tank and there are always people coming on the show who say they “came to this Country with nothing” and somehow managed to build themselves a thriving business from the ground up. Folks who come here and proceed to set the world on fire. How come NONE of the incarnations of 90 Day Fiancé have managed to capture that sort of story??? They always seem to show everyone in the worst light. Folks like Larissa who spends her money on plastic surgery or Andrei who flat out says he doesn’t want to get a job, or this Utah clown who can’t even manage his part time job handing out yoghurt samples.
Kalani and Asuelu in Utah. He’s only 24 and in a strange country. His culture is very different from ours. She moved her parents into their home. I would not want to be him. That said, if he intends to stay in the US, he’d better grow up. They don’t seem well suited at all.
Andrei’s raising the baby, a stay at home dad. Doesn’t that have value? It should. I do dislike his entitlement, and his hard ass approach, but again, I think that’s cultural. And HE paid for their US wedding…how about that? So I get that he wants her dad to pay for the Moldovan wedding.
I’m waiting to watch Happily Ever After? Until I catch up on everyone’s seasons. I don’t know who some of these people are so find it hard to follow.
I’ll be watching The Other Way and B90 Strikes Back, though!
I did watch one of Angela and Michael’s seasons and I’m surprised she’s still there. She seems worse than Baby Girl Lisa.
I am doing the same thing. Bingeing prior seasons so I know the backstories for these couples!
I need to do that too. I just jumped in, not realizing this show has been going on for a few years. LOL
I love Kalani and Asuelu – they are such a cute couple and he’s hysterical. But I agree with TT, he’s kind of like a child. I couldn’t imagine being married to him.
I also like Syngin but I find that Tania isn’t just independent she’s controlling and selfish. I can’t imagine their relationship lasting unless she makes changes.
And I can’t figure out Angela and Michael. Does he really love her? I don’t know. And in one episode she looked like the Old Woman in the Shoe – she had more grandchildren under her roof than she knew what to do with. And she wanted Michael to live with them all. She kept calling him Pop Pop. She’s kind of nutty.
And Andrei is the worst – it’s his way or the highway.
One of Angela’s daughters is in jail so she has all of her children with her
Oh my, I just read what she was arrested for. I think Angela will be raising those kids for life.
I also love Kalani and Asuelu – He is a man child and if I remember she was a virgin.
I also like Syngin however Tania needs to grow up and stop being so selfish.
Angela and Michael. Does he really love her or Trump? – This is to difficult even for a mad Irish woman to figure out.
Colt – Larissa and Debs I am saying nothing as people are on Catch Up.
Andrei – He got the golden goose with Elizabeth and her dad….silly girl… His CV – Bouncer/ Doorman.
Am I the only person that thought it was odd to show all three mothers breastfeeding at the same time?
Nope!
What happened to Larissa? She looks like she got a terrible beating.
Tap Tap Tap! Is this thing on? Page views are great today, but there aren’t the usual number of comments and an there are odd long periods of time with no comments which is not normal….Are y’all having any problems with comments?
I’m here! Watching S5 E2 now And waiting for E3 to be available. I really only know Angela/Michael and Paul/Karine from prior 90 Days. I still have so many to binge! I don’t like Larissa but I also don’t like Colt. How he talked to the new young woman, Jess was disrespectful. People are not sex objects!
Andrei’s expectation that Elizabeth’s father should pay for some random wedding he decided he wanted to plan was rude!
And yes, the 3 sisters breastfeeding was a little unexpected!
I just realized there are only 2 episodes available!
I love Karine’s mother! She is so sweet, loving and kind.
A new The Other Way tonight? I can’t wait to see Sumit and Jenny and where that goes,
I got a kick out of Angela’s doctor. She was not having it at all with Angela.
Thanks for recapping, all of the 90 day shows are on my DVR!
Larissa & Colt: Both need to be cancelled so that we never have to see them again. I think Colt is only with Jen so that he can keep gaining “fans” (gag), and Larissa is doing anything she can to find an American sugar daddy. She’s a bit long in the tooth to be a “sugar baby,” and needs to send the money she’s spending on plastic surgery to all the people in Brazil that are caring for her kids.
Karine & Paul: Paul acts like he has a TBI. His mother must be so weary for caring for this grown man, as if he is still 15 years old. And you pegged Karine – she’s looking for American sponsors, and Paul gets on her very last nerve.
Kahlani & Asuelu: At first, I loved Asuelu, I thought he might be a bit “touched” (as the old folks used to say), but being a father has not matured him in any way, shape or form. Watching Kahlani get both babes out of the car, while he runs ahead & doesn’t even hold the door open for her pissed me off. And is he only working parttime? If so, that is not acceptable – he needs full time money as a husband & father of two. I think he thought Kahlani and her family would support him, but Kahlani knew he was no where near as mature as he is, so she bears some of the fault for his behavior.
Elizabeth & Andrei: Don’t care for either of these two. I only care about her father, who get his wallet raided every episode.
Angela & Michael: Michael deserves, imo, a green card for putting up with this chick. And I HATE when they show her poor sick mother on camera, it seems as if she has no awareness of the cameras, may she rest in peace. And the scene with Angela doing stripper moves was no bueno. I’m sick of her, but know they think she’s good TV, so I will just fast-forward through their scenes.
Tania & Syngin: These two are immature drunkards with no direction, and have no business having children in the near future. Tania is insufferable, a drama queen, and somehow believes she’s the more responsible of the two. I’m sick of them, too.
