I really hope that Kenny doesn’t continue to disappoint us on this 90 Day The Other Way Recap. I’m just thinking about moving to a Spanish speaking country (Costa Rica? Uruguay? Spain with Tuatha?) and I am already trying to learn a few words. Honestly, I’d rather try to brush off my years of French classes but I’m only good with Bonjour! and Ou est le bar?
Okay, I already started 90 day Happily Ever last night and I promise to get back to it but I need my Kenny and Armando right no and it is trending. I have two hour to recap and I probably won’t hit the trend but I really want to watch this. In other news, why was I smart enough to buy five jars of Mt. Olive diced jalepenos and only on jar of Frontera Tomatillo sauce? Sorry was putting things in the pantry. Also I want to go back to bed and i have only been awake for five hours. Oh for some reason I thought we were FINALLY getting two hours of this but it is only ONE hour and pillow talk.
Kenny & Armando
I am so disappointed in Kenny I cannot watch. Can Armando just go straight and marry me? Kenny has already flown his two adult daughters down. They are in a very fancy pants resort. I’m so kind of over Kenny. I am having trouble finding the fancy hotel. Their signage is unreadable. I do want to go to Los Rios Hotel and Spa in Australia though. And maybe live in Noosa? But sadly they will not take our Covid ridden asses in Noosa at the moment…

Oh God. We have to talk about the 80s for what it was. Basically, some of us were going off to church camp with our BFF and buying matching Izods. And the gay community was dying. We were afraid too, but not like our gay friends. It kind of annoys me when people want to have 80s parties. If everyone back then had been gay. It would be just like it is now. I enjoyed my youth, but it was still scary even for straight people. It’s not a decade I would want to live in now. A DECADE. Not five months of being afraid of going to the grocery store. At least we were young and stupid and didn’t really get at the time how very fucking bad it was. Sorry for the rant.
That said, I don’t think Armando is going to appreciate all the fanfare. And the daughters are skeptical. They point out that this may be too much too soon for Armando. I’m not sure this is a good idea. I feel like Kenny makes it all about Kenny.
The Proposal
This is such a terrible and selfish idea from Kenny. Doesn’t he remember being in the closet? And it is just way too soon. Kenny is starting to look like a gay principal I once had. I loved him and was so happy…and then… I resigned. I can’t with this type of gay guy. You love them and then… they show themselves. This proposal is all about Kenny. It’s sweet that Kenny cries though. Armando says yes and Kenny’s family and friends set off a celebration. I still say it is too early for this. But everyone seems happy! So YAY? I love that the daughters were there They were so kind to Armando! “You are perfect.” SOBS.

Kenny getting all choked up was sweet. And so was his family and friends shooting off confetti guns. I hope this couple has nothing but happiness ahead. And I can’t wait for Armando’s daughter to move in with them.
Brittany & Yazan
How is this ever supposed to work? I would LOVE to live in Jordan. Am I allowed there? Brittany is at least wearing the hijab. They are off to the mosque. I so miss mosques. Also WHY DID I NOT BUY ANY SNACKS? I am the worst shopper ever, I need a snack. A chip, A Cheeto. I am going to have to reshop at Target online tomorrow. Today? Last week? Next year? It’s all the same. Anyway. I love that Brittany is embracing the Muslim culture. Brittany loves the mosque. It’s hard not to love a mosque. Everyone should see a mosque. It pure peace. And Jordan …it’s such a spiritual place. I’m impressed with Brittany.

When I was a little kid in Libya we could hear the call to prayer from my house. Not to be disrespectful at all because I loved every second. But there was call to prayer we called “Allah Who Is A Bum?” At least that is what our ignorant minds heard. I’d love to find out finally what that meant on this show. I must confess I still sing that out loud sometimes hoping may Allah hears me. I may have gone to the First Baptist Church of Tripoli and been baptized in the Mediterranean sea. But a part of me feels Muslim. I am so happy that Brittany has an open heart to a new religion.
Jordan Is Spectacular!
So they got out and she orders “chai” no babe it is “shahee” you are not at Starbucks. I am rewatching to complete this recap and at least in this place she does say shahee, sort of. What the fuck happened to the whole YOU CAN FORCE ANY RELIGION ON PEOPLE, Yazan? She is just learning! Wait did he just give her three days to convert? WTF? You can’t demand anyone to have a religion at all. Let alone in three days SPOILER ALERT! She does convert But not because she was forced into it. WAIT IS THAT A LIPTON TEA BAG IN JORDAN? Jesus. Also, she has no head covering. Britanny walks out of the restaurant. After talking with production, she returns.
Deavan & Jihoon
I want to go everywhere. But since that is not practical, I’m going to take a pass on South Korea and really all Asian countries. It’s just not my vibe. And neither is this relationship. I mean I am sure I would enjoy myself and I actually came very close to going once when a guy I really liked was allegedly staying there. Long story. But really, life is short and I’d rather explore Africa, especially the Northern part where I grew up. I love the little girl. She is a born traveler like me. She likes centipedes and she’s just special.

How do they have this very nice car and a very nice hotel? I think I have a great immune system from growing up in Libya. Deavan’s mother is obnoxious. She’s not a traveler. She’s the ugly American we all have to try to dispel when traveling. We are not all ignorant Trumpsters! Somehow (production) provides a great place for them to stay. Oh it is only for one month. That baby is adorable. And Drascilla is an amazing little girl. All of the grandparents agree to butt out of their relationship. We’ll see how that works. Oh no! Drascilla runs off into the night alone!
Cheesestick
Why? This seems to be a good time for a bathroom break. Cheesestick and Melyza got out for drinks with her father and he confesses that he cheated on her. The dad who used to love Cheesestick says that should end their relationship. Cheesestick cries. Hopefully, this will be the end of Cheesestick.
Next week, it is time for Kenny to meet the parents. Armando hestitates about whether to tell them about the engagement. Sumit’s parents want to talk to him and Jenny about their relationship. Ari learns that she must be baptized in the Christian faith before the baby can be baptized. Brittany and Azan have another meeting with his parents.
Sorry this recap is so disjointed. I’ve been have some major issues with my site this week and I kept having to chat with my hosting site. I still cannot access my home page on this site. Is anyone else having this issue?
What an exciting childhood you had, TT!!
I cannot believe that I am invested in these *90 Days* shows. I wanted to throw something on Sunday night, because Asuelu and Andrei were getting on my nerves.
I don’t get Deavan. Stay or go. Make up your mind. I really hope that Drascilla is okay. I did like seeing Jihoon haul ass after her, though. I fast-forwarded through the Tim and whats-her-name. I cannot look at him.
The Brittany and Yazan relationship is puzzling to me. She knew that she would have to eventually convert, but Yazan is putting way too much pressure on her. He seems like he is a hot-head to me. Does TLC look for that type of guy when casting? They certainly have a plethora of them.
2 comments so far?! I love these shows but I have to watch a day later because I fall asleep by 10:30 if I don’t have any nightcaps.
I’m having problems with the site. SO go ahead and commnent.
Chai is very popular in the Gulf States, not the Starbucks kind. But it’s Indian tea. That’s why I wasn’t surprised when Brittany said chai.
I used to order saffron Chai when I lived in Oman from the local coffee shops. Delicious.
Saffron was so cheap there.
Memories…..
And you would be wrong. It’s shahee.
Chai is Hindi for tea. In Oman and UAE local coffee shops with Indian and Pakistani staff sell chai.
So I’m not wrong, but wasn’t surprised when Brittany said chai.
More than one way to skin a cat. Is it still okay to say that!
Thanks for the recap, TT, despite all your challenges!
I so agree, Kenny is already exhausting me. It’s way too soon for Kenny and Armando to be engaged! Armando’s daughter hasn’t even moved in with them yet, and his family situation is very fragile. Let Armando BREATHE, Kenny! Although I liked Kenny’s daughters any very much.
Brittany is still lying to Yazan and his family about being married. That’s all that needs to be said.
Deavan is an idiot, but she is so very young. Her brain isn’t finished developing. So sad she has two babies depending on her. She needs to focus on getting Jihoon in a position to support her and the kids. If I were her mother, I’d be helping her to get him to be a good husband. That doesn’t mean criticizing him all the time! Deavan needs to get Jihoon’s mom on her side.
I don’t like Cheesestick and I agree with Dad that Melyza needs to dump him! That kinda thing never improves, trust me.
@ Mrs. Greenway – Perfection On a Plate – Nailed It!!
Yes to everything! I was thinking Armando probably would have liked to have some of his family, his daughter at least, at the impromptu engagement party instead of just Kenny’s people, even though they were lovely to him.
Is it me or does it seem like Tim and Melyza seem to have the same freaking conversation in EVERY episode. Yesss, we know you cheated blah, blah, blah ???♀️…I just fast forward through their scenes at this point.
The big Muslim elephant in the room is Brittany’s marriage. She is such a liar, telling him he’s talking crazy when if he knew she was married they’d be done faster than you can say God is great.
I wish Kenny would be more understanding of Armando’s situation and feelings. His parents are still processing. They took it pretty well all things considered. Just let their acceptance grow organically. This isn’t a culture where the rainbow is painted all over murals and crosswalks everywhere. It’s enough for Armando to bring a boyfriend home. Why force it unless you don’t care about his family’s ultimate acceptance. I’m not saying they should hide their relationship or sexual orientation but they also don’t have to go full blast. I’m sure this is because Kenny wants to get married yesterday. But, there’s two people in this relationship. It’s not all what Kenny wants.
I don’t care about Cheesestick. It’s going to take years if ever for Melyza and her family to get over this. Her father’s advice might be the right thing to do under the circumstances. Take his folded shirts and cat back to the US.
The best thing about Deavan and Jihoon is the translator. Some very funny results as the translator gets it wrong. Her mother is clueless and rude. Wagging her finger at someone when they don’t even know what she’s saying. Obviously Deavan’s mother had her when she was very young. I hate to see that cycle repeating itself from generation to generation. I hope Deavan can break it before Drascilla gets pregnant at a young age.
I don’t remember Deavon and Jihoon ever acting happy or like they love each other. Kind of depressing to watch them
Perhaps this is where the age gap between Kenny and Armando makes a difference. Kenny seems financially secure, he has a supportive family and now a nice condo in Mexico. For him, life is set and he’s ready to sail into his golden years with his dream companion. An engagement probably doesn’t seem like a rush to him at all. He might want to tread a little lighter because the mild-mannered Armando might break one day under the family and society pressure he feels. Still rooting for them.
I feel like Melyza’s father already knew the news. He showed zero emotion or change in his face upon hearing it. I’m wondering why he ever liked the blubbering Cheesestick in the first place.
If having a child to support didn’t change Jihoon’s ways, I don’t think anything will. Deavan needs to cut her losses and get out although I fear this could be one of those couples who constantly break up and make up so that they can stay on the show for the money–kids be damned. There are now quite a number of couples that play this game across the 90-day franchises. At least, Drascilla seems wonderfully resilient and curious.
I don’t think they stay for the money. I read that participants only get paid about $1,500. More likely they stay for the free travel as I doubt most of them can afford to fly back and forth and/or pay for the fancy apartments they always end up staying in.
Sure, the travel, and I think the recognition is a big factor, too. Some of these people have very high opinions of themselves. But it’s $1500×10 episodes plus extra for the Tell-All plus the possibility of all of the adjunct show appearances, like Pillow Talk, Quarantine, Strikes Back, etc. It’s not a good, long term financial plan for life but when do any of the people on this show plan? They run off to other countries, propose to someone in 24 hours, get pregnant and then have to do the clean-up. $15,000 can at least make a short term dent in some of those problems and then “I’ll think about that tomorrow” for the rest. That’s my take, anyway.
I loved the proposal. I liked how the daughters and other Mexican people were present to cheer them on. I feel Armando would be happy to see Mexican’s cheering for his marriage rather than bashing it.
Drascilla was the best part of the show when she was playing with her bff and covering herself in the sand.
Brittany is just crazy. Storming off in the episode only to have the next scene she is back in the restaurant. Brittany, smoke some hookah and shut up.
It was nice to see Rosarito Beach and the Las Rocas Resort. I have that same fountain from Rosarito Beach! It appears that Kenny and Armando are living near there since it was a short drive. If I was going to move out of the U.S. I would certainly consider moving there as a lot of people from the states are residing there right on the water for cheap! or stay at that Hotel where the rooms are around 65.00 night. Many singles living there too. The pros are you are only 20 minutes to the border and 45 minute drive to San Diego so you can still hang out in Southern California and live there plus the Medical Center is right across the bridge at the border and many of California Drs. come to practice and provide dental and medical services on the cheap. Many people from here go there who have no insurance and plus you get good care. I think both Kenny and Armando are doing fine there. Lots of fun things to do there and the wineries are beautiful there. Did you notice they had Kirkland water at the house? They must shop at Costco in California.
I grew up in San Diego and I went on a rendezvousto that same place. and the federales chased us up the cliff for fireworks.(the guy was worth it )
We used to always go there. Once we were driving back home through the border and it was like a movie, Brown bags full of cash were thrown out of somewhere, and I am naturally freaking out about getting in trouble and Chris was on it asap!!!!lol he got a couple hundred dollars. I don’t even know if Chris knew about my rendezvous. He wouldn’t believe that I ran from the federal I’m such a wimp.
I stayed there because the owner of the business owned a condo.
A friend had a house further down and nothing like waking up to the water.
And there’s a lobster place along the way, and a bakery for tortas.
Ahhhhh, memories.
I wasn’t married when I had my rendezvous, just young and he was a rock star, lol.
I got my brother and sister in law hooked on this show because of Jihoon and Devan. My brother is from South Korea but adopted at a year and raised in the USA. My sis in law finds it facinating to see Jihoon with his family because my brother is “americanized” as she puts it LOL! Going back to see the orphanage he lived in is on my brother’s bucket list and honestly, I’d love to go see it too.
Am I the only one who was nervous when Kenny asked his daughters to “gather a crowd of strangers” to cheer for them? All I could think was that Mexico is still so very homophobic, they’re going to get rocks thrown at them rather than streamers. I was SO relieved that didn’t happen!!
Re: the 80s…you are so right Tamara. I remember constantly getting news that this teacher or that friend had tested positive.
And I still have a VERY clear memory of one of my best gay friends and I eating ice cream. We each got different flavors so naturally, I asked if I could taste his. I remember how he froze. Paused. Considered. And oh-so-carefully turned his cone around so I wouldn’t lick the spot where he had been eating. We both (I thought!) knew you couldn’t get AIDS from sharing ice cream and yet… he was obviously nervous and hyper careful anyway. It just about broke my heart watching him do that.
P.S. Thankfully, he is still around though he moved away and we aren’t as close anymore. But at least he survived.
I don’t think Brittany embraces the culture at all and it’s a matter of time before she comes back to America. I cried with Armando and Kenny, so sweet. I don’t see Devon’s mother as an ugly American. She is an American that loves her daughter and scared to leave her so far away with an irresponsible boy and a mother in law who obviously can’t stand her daughter. I understand that as a mother myself. I think Armand should wait to tell his family, they need to first know Kenny and fall in love with him and that’s when he should tell them.
