I haven’t watched all of the first episode of B90 fights back yet. I won’t be recapping that. It is basically the people from the show watching clips of the first episode and some from the corresponding Pillow Talk episode. The participants address trolls on social media and comments made by the Pillow Talk people. That’s not really a recap friendly show. So, I’m moving in to my 90 Day Fiance The Other Way recap. I’m very into this version of 90 Days.
Jenny & Sumit
As bizarre as this pairing is, they do seem to really love each other and there is no green card agenda. I love these two but Sumit has a real problem with telling the truth. They are both so excited when Jenny finally lands at the airport after an excruciatingly long trip. Jenny is one of the few Americans who seems to truly appreciate and embrace the foreign culture. But even Jenny has her limits. After over thirty hours on two planes and another two and a half hour car ride, an exhausted Jenny finally arrives at the new house. And there are people there. And a cow. There is a house blessing ceremony. And she has to hold a flower pot on her head. WTF?

It gets even more insane when they start a fire in the house in a pot. And then, they bring the cow into the house! Even with all the insanity, Jenny still notices that the house is really bad. There are fixtures hanging out of the walls and there is no furniture that I’ve seen so far. Eventually, they take the the cow and go. All Jenny wants to do is go to bed. Thankfully, they at least have a bed. Sumit has even more bad news. It is a high crime neighborhood with no security. Yikes! Sumit says people get killed for ten dollars. And this is where you move the woman you love?
Armando & Kenny
I had some notes for a post about Armando but I decided to save it for here since this season doesn’t seem very popular with you guys. The short version is the tragic way that Armando’s wife died. She pregnant at the time and was pursuing Armando in her car since she was angry with him for …I guess… coming out. She ended up dying in a car accident and the baby was able to be saved. So tragic. These two are everyone’s favorite couple.

Armando has very little time before Kenny arrives so he has to tell his parents that he is moving and that he is moving in with a man who he plans to marry. When he begins he talks about living a lie and crying himself to sleep. He tells his parents that they need to accept him for who he is. His father looks very uncomfortable and his mother is sobbing. He says it is hard to feel like his parents don’t love him. His mother gets up and hugs him and asks him how he can think that. His dad says he didn’t know how sad Armando was because he never told him. This is gut-wrenching. The parents take all of the news well. His mom agrees to meet Kenny but the father needs more time to process things.
Deavan & Jihoon
Is It take your mother to work day? At least two of the moms, Deavan and Arilea are traveling with their mothers. I guess TLC can afford a few extra tickets since these franchises are blowing the Bravo shows out of the water with ratings. What doesn’t make sense is Deavan thinking Jihoon is going to be anything more than a third child for her to raise. Drascilla is an excellent little traveler!

Jihoon has lied to Deavan again about his job. He makes close to nothing working as a part-time delivery boy. Why do guys lie about things that will obviously be exposed? Even his friends are laughing about how lazy and stupid he is.
Brittany & Yazan
The only thing dumber that Deavan and Jihoon is Brittany and Yazan. Brittany may need to have her agent on speed dial to get her on Locked Up Abroad because I totally expect for her to get arrested in Jordan. Yazan’s mother will not even allow herself to be filmed because of her religious beliefs. This will never work. You can’t turn a whore into a housewife, let alone a Muslim housewife. Yazan is lying through his teeth to his father! I love hearing the Arabic and picking up the handful of words I know. Also I wish I had some of that shahee.

In her talking head, Brittany says she is “definitely going to corrupt Yazan.” At the airport, Yazan waits with a bouquet of flowers just as his father instructed him. And she is appropriately dressed in a track suit. So far so good. Brittany will be staying in a hotel. Azan can visit but he can’t sleep with her. Have they really not had sex? I think she was there for 40 days last time. I don’t believe they haven’t hooked up. Once out of the airport, production stops them to put a mic on Brittany before they get it the car. When Brittany hugs the crew she accidentally exposes a bottle of alcohol in her carry-on. Yazan looses his mind. He says he told her she can’t drink here, and she can’t hug people. They might not even make it out of the parking lot.
Arilea & Biniyam
In other idiotic news, nothing says love like flying to Ethiopia to have your baby. And that is exactly what Arilea is doing. And she is leaving her dog. I stopped traveling because I could stand leaving Banjo for a week or two. People you can talk to and they can come visit. Your dog never seeing you again is another thing.
I already can’t wait for the next episode of 90 Day Fiance The Other Way! It looks like we get a new couple next week!
The 90 DAY shows got me back to watching any tv besides history or science documentaries. Honestly, Brittany should get right back on a plane and fly home. There is NO WAY this will work. Ever. I’m not blaming either one of them, they are just not going to find a common ground where this will work unless Yazan becomes less adherent (not advocating that, just an observation) and they move somehwere else togetheror, alternately, that Brittany suddenly truly wants to convert to Islam and becomes a COMPLETELY different person. It’s like Brittany thinks it’s cute and she’ll be the star in some fish out of water romcom where everyone else becomes more wild and carefree and she’s REALLY not seeing the situation. I genuinely fear for Jenny. If this doesn’t work out, she basically has nothing left and her family is worn the f*ck out with the whole thing.
“Eventually they take the cow and go” ?????
Dear, dear, dear Tamara, this has nothing to do with 90 day fiancé which I don’t watch and more to do with the HUGE glass of Aligoté that I just drunk?,drank?( whatever, it’s my 2nd language).I am watching BIG BROTHER AU 2020 on the web and it’s soooooooo good, mostly due to the delicious Angela. I think of you everytime I watch an episode.You would love this!!! It’s more like the American and Canadian version this year. Scrumptious drama, Sunday, to Wednesdays. Lucky you, they are up to episode 9 now, you can binge watch it. Lots of love from Montreal xxxx
Thanks for the recap. I hope Brittany stays safe in Jordan. She seems like a wild child. Her antics might not seem funny there. They might feel she’s rude or even in violation of a law.
You’re not calling Brittany a whore tho right?
If she’s not then she should be. internet ho all the way. Part of the look at me gyrating with few clothes on in public crowd. You know the type.
I haven’t seen the whole episode but I did see Armando and his folks and I was sobbing along with them. Hoping all the best for this couple
LOL about Brittany on Locked Up Abroad. I love that show. She needs to be careful!!!
Happy Birthday, Tamara!!
You are really on a mission. lol. And thanks.
WHOOP WHOOP!!!!!!!!!!!
If this is true, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
If this isn’t true, CURSES TO NAA!!!!!!’!!!!!!!!’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok – I would have been sobbing and on the verge of hysteria if I was leaving my dog forever. I’m thinking its her parents’ dog possibly? Brittany is just thinking about being on TV. This poor guy Yazan in Jordan may be disowned by his family for this mess and to her its all fun & games. He needs to runnnnnn!
Is it your birthday? Happy Birthday, even if it isn’t! I cried a bunch when Armando’s mother got up to hug him. They reacted so much better than I feared they would. He told them straight out they would not see him in the future if he couldn’t bring Kenny. I think his father will come around. I was so relieved and happy for him.
Brittany is ridiculous. Jordan is no joke if you don’t conform. She doesn’t seem to respect the culture of the country at all. I think she’s gonna get herself in some trouble, or she will be on a plane home in a week.
All the women seem delusional.
I also totally agree about them leaving their dogs forever. How can anyone do that?
Agreed! Pups can’t come visit 🙁 sad and going to the other side of the world to deliver her first child (and no epidural)!
I agree!! And I know this is mostly dog people, but my cats are my life. I would be devastated to leave them. It is harder than with people because you can’t just explain or email! I was once very sick and left my cats for almost 6 months. They had my husband, so they were not abandoned. But it took months for them to warm up to me again. It was probably 6months before they slept with me again. They are why we don’t travel!
Right now my lab, who is almost 11 and has severe separation anxiety, makes it almost impossible to go grocery shopping or shopping of any kind. She can go about 60 minutes without a her human’s home, even though she does have her own emotional support dog, the boxer. I can’t imagine leaving her! If your ever in NJ and see some crazy red head speed walking through the store…that’s me hurrying because lab’s melatonin might run out and cause a panic attack!
I recommend CBD oil. It greatly reduces anxiety and is not harmful. Be ready for goofy and spurts of hunger or begging, keep healthy snacks and bones, you will need to regulate diet instead of anxiety but i so much more freeing. However I have a one week window so far, I have two cats abandoned 3 times and now have “fused” to me as my kids and husband say. I also attend school (until pandemic) 5 days away from the home for my certification. This alleviated them so much. Catnip was our spot (pill) when they got bad (destructive behavior) when they were deprived and my sons spotted. Like it or nor, they are our kids, separation will always cause anxiety. Good luck. There are a lot of pharmacies and even Vets who will guide you. Kindest wishes.
So so good — both the show and the recap!! LOL on Locked Up Abroad. You are so right. Brittany is in for a rude awakening! Since Michael — of Michael and Angela from the other 90 Day show — can’t come to the U.S., Angela should just appear on this show and then all the good stuff will be in one place. Poor Jenny, I can’t even imagine being that tired and going through the whole flowerpot/cow/fire ceremony. I would have been out of my mind with irritation. I can’t wait to see what comes next for all of these couples. I was exactly the same as you trying to pick up the foreign language, except for me it was with Mexico and Armando’s family. Thank you for filling us in on his story. Very sad. He seems so sweet – I hope things work out for them.
If today is the day you born, Happy Birthday Tamara ! If not, save it for next time.
I can’t help but have a soft spot forJenny. She’s a loveable sad-sack. Summit is probably lying again will screw things and Jenny will end going home but if he makes her happy for a short span of time, why not?
Love, love, love Kenny and Armando! Hope things work out for them I was in tears during their segment?.
The pregnant gal’s story line is boring so far. Hope things pick up.
Brittany is delusional. And what is she going to do about those damn braces?
Happy birthday!!! Get drunk and let & lets post!!!
Speaking of drunk, I could have sworn I already commented on this post…..but, day drinking…..
I didn’t comment on Brittany & Yazan, because I don’t think they have a snowballs chance in hell of making it to the alter. And even if I’m wrong, I don’t want to be. And as for Arlea & Biniyam, is this chick for real? Her parents have got to be scratching their heads wondering where they went wrong. To not have her child in an American hospital seems reckless, considering her options for having the birth in Ethiopia. She seems to be a plant with no roots that blows with the wind.
It is my granddaughter Elliot’s second birthday, so a good day! Happy Birthday, TT. Thank you for recapping this insanity 🙂
Oh um, Good luck with Elliot. #CrazyPeopleBirthday. 🙂
I am oddly fascinated with this show. I watch 90 day um “standard way”? but the Other Way encourages me to dissect and think more about motivation. Is it love? What else could it be? Etc. etc.
Sumit (and maybe Jenny) really have me debating with myself (and hubby maybe if he can recognize that this is 90 Day Other Way and not Love After Lockup. I mean there are similar looking females on both (Jenny here and Angela from Love After Lockup confuse him). So I can’t figure out what Sumit is up to for sure but Jenny is in love. I would definitively watch a spin off with her family. Her kids are great. I adore the tough love on their mom. She is making really important decisions based on her heart. I get it but he hasn’t been honest. Ever.
I forgot to comment on my favorite part… Jihoon realizing that now Deavan and her family are in the air on their way and there is literally no getting out of it. You can see reality crashing in on him. He ‘s so ridiculous, but it cracks me up how delusional he is.
I couldn’t follow Jihoon’s conversation with his friends. I was too preoccupied with the way they were cooking and eating the food! He doesn’t have a care in the world!
I too was preoccupied with the food. It looked delicious and there was so much of it!
YES!! He is likable because he is so delusional. Even his own friends thinks he’s a dumb dumb. Oh Jihoon.
Totally love this variant of 90 Day! Im really rooting for Jenny & Sumit, you can really feel for them as an underdog couple. I also love Kenneth & Armando – i have full faith they will have a wonderful relationship. I’m not here for Britney & Yazan, its such a ridiculous situation and reeks of TLC storyline fabricating. Even though he was rude for flipping out on her the way he did (issues much?) she’s totally wrong for immediately disrespecting his asks of her (be they reasonable or not) 15mins off the plane. Ugh, they can go.
Jihoon friends are so worried about the reputation of their fellow countrymen due to Jihoon living in his own crazy reality.
Love, Love, Love Kenny and Armando – they deserve to be happy.
Brittany & Yazan – No Comment
Arilea & Biniyam – WTF!! –
Jenny and Sumit – I got my fingers crossed for these two. however Sumit’s lying is going to continue…Poor Jenny.
I am enjoying this season too. Armando is so sweet and I loved his conversation with his parents. I don’t feel like have a full idea who Kenny is yet.
I am shocked that Jenny doesn’t get more information upfront before heading to India! She had no idea where she and Sumit would be living? And what the full details of the $20,000 divorce. Is it in the process…Is it final…Has he even begun the paperwork?
I feel the same about Deavan. How did she not know enough about Jihoon’s work and living status. Is he flat out lying to her? At this point, Jenny and Deavan should know better. They’ve been down this road already.
The Brittany and Yazan story will be ridiculous and never work out. Right there at the airport I would hop back on a plane and never turn back after the level of anger he displayed. And I’m sure she didn’t do any research about the culture and lifestyle she is entering into.
I don’t know anything about the guy in Ethiopia. Did I miss something in a prior episode? I guess there are other couples that I don’t know much about as well. I’m binge watching so many other 90 Day shows that I have too many couples to track!
YAY! Another 90-day post!
Jenny & Sumit: I truly believe Jenny loves Sumit, but I would in no way feel comfortable at my age (51) giving up everything to move to another country with a man who lies about such large issues, not that the smaller lies are any better. Sometimes I think she feels so has nothing else to lose & might as well hold on to him. I do believe he loves her, but the way he plays fast & loose with the truth would send me running the opposite direction. And he doesn’t seem able to support himself, much less Jenny, and their apartment is so unsafe, I would be afraid to close my eyes at night.
Armando & Kenny: I love these two!!! They both have back stories that just melted my heart, and they both deserve all the happiness they can find in this life. I hope they find a lifetime of happiness!
Deaven & Jihoon: Sigh. She keeps having kids by this man-child, who has no motivation to be a provider. He will continue to be a disappointment to her for a long while. And while I don’t want her to be a single mother, I think she’d do well to come home, get a job, and raise her babies, and try to get her husband to thr U.S.
This is the best version of 90DF. I’m glad it’s spanking Bravo in the ratings, it’s the best. I hope they keep pumping it out, I know I’ll be watching.
I can’t wait to see Ethiopia. The one with South Africa was just amazing to me, and (along with the boards with all the stories) I learned so much! The ones who actually made it somewhere else are the ones I wouldn’t expect — like Avery!!!
I can’t believe this season isn’t very popular! This spinoff is better than the original! I love seeing American’s try to go live in different countries! Unlike Before the 90 Days, where all we see is mainly hotels & tourist traps, The Other Way we get to see what it’s really like to live in these places. Plus American’s are so spoiled as far as indoor plumping, electricity, clean, wide roads, grocery stores, etc. To get to see them live places without those luxuries, and also to see how other cultures live is awesome!
I agree. This is definitely the best version of 90 Day.
I love love love this show!!! The Other Way series is exponentially better than the original 90 day Fiance.
How is Kenny 57? He looks like he is 30. And he is HAWT.
I am pretty sure Britney is living in West Palm Beach…Not Palm Beach. West Palm is my home town and I recognized lots of places in her scenes. Palm Beach is a tiny island of extremely old people rich people, some celebrities, and young” dot com” people with new money,
I know Britney comes across as a dumb valley girl, but I really like her. The relationship she has with her dad is complete goals. He was so sweet to her. I am rooting for Britney for sure.
There are so many weird rumors about Brittany and her man. Nothing substantiated. But my favorite is that Yazan and his parents have been living in Florida for years and the whole thing is fake. So many crazy rumors about these two.
OMG!! I love this show. Armando and Kenny are my favorite. Poor Brittany doesn’t she know she can’t corrupt a Muslim with an extreme family.
