I am so far behind on 90 Day Fiance The Other Way recaps! Sundays are so busy that I kind of forget it is there. I’m starting this one at 4 am because I am sadly awake after sleeping almost all day AGAIN. But I’m feeling good. I really, REALLY need to go to the grocery story. I’ve been trying to go for days. I probably should just stay up and go at 8 am. Making decisions seems so complicated these days. Anyway, I saw a tiny spoiler for this episode and now I am dying to watch. So let’s get to it.
Jenny & Sumit
These two are headed to see a lawyer to talk about starting the process for their marriage license. Sumit has bought some magical cards that ward of Covid. Sumit seems to be waffling on the whole marriage thing. Is he getting cold feet? Sumit asks the lawyer about the marriage process he was told about. That one is expensive and complicated and his parents can object. But then, the lawyer told them about a much easier way to get married. They can get married today using this plan. Good News! Jenny is thrilled. And Jenny’s visa renewal will be easy to do. Sumit starts stalling. He wants to talk to his parents first. And he wants Jenny to go too.

Jenny and Sumit prepare for a ring ceremony two days after meeting with the lawyer. Jenny calls his daughter and her wife. They are also worried about Jenny and Sumit talking to his parents before the wedding. They are afraid his mom is going to cry hysterically and beg them not to marry. The day before the ring ceremony, Sumit’s brother and wife come over. Sumit has decided to get engaged before he talks to his parents. He hopes his brother can help him smooth things over with his parents. His brother says there is nothing they can do. Jenny has a breakdown and starts crying. This is heartbreaking.
Ari & Bini
Ari is just awful. Ari’s dad is shocked that Ethiopia is an underdeveloped county. Did he think he was going to Paris? Why is Bini always getting lectured about going to work? The parents finally see their apartment. Bini is so proud of it. But, the parents are not impressed. I feel so sorry for Bini. Her parents have unrealistic expectations. This is Ethiopia! Bini looks like he is on the verge of tears.

The night before Ari’s parents head back, they go out to dinner with Bini’s family. Once again Bini is the one carrying the baby. There is nothing wrong with that, it just seems like it is always him. Bini is very happy that the two families are meeting. Ari’s mom asks the sisters how they think Bini and Ari’s relationship is going. Isn’t that a question for her daughter? The sisters say that Ari is quick to get angry and yell at their brother. They tell her that she is bossy and shouts at Bini in the street. The mother asks for their opinion and then dismisses it in her interview. She says Ari does fly off the handle but there is usually a reason for it. Sure there is. She wants to get her way! The sisters say that Ari treats Bini like a child.
Then, Ari’s parents are shocked to hear that Avi is going to be baptized. Apparently, Ari wasn’t gone to tell them because she puts no significance on the ceremony. But now it’s becoming a thing. Avi wants Bini to tell his sisters to butt out. But they are being plenty respectful when they stress how important the baptism is to them. Ari’s mom then says that Bini’s sisters are on his side and it’s one sided. Of course they are!
Brittany & Yazan
OMG! I want that schwarma! Stacks and stacks of unknown meats (usually lamb and goat) sliced and served in a pita with mysterious sauce! SO GOOD. What is not so good is that Yazan had come to pick up Brittany and her friend and Brittany is wasted! Then, Yazan takes Brittany to his barber shop. Brittany wants to give Yazan a drunken hair cut. They talk about the future of the relationship. Yazan agrees that she doesn’t have to convert to Islam and he will wait a year to get married. But, he didn’t tell her about the terrible situation he is in because of her.

The next day, Yazan invites Brittany to the apartment he got for them. He is hoping she will see he is making progress for them to be together. When he shows her the apartment, he says he has another bedroom if she wants to stay with him. She says she likes to cuddle. He says they can do that when they are married. Brittany is really dense. She says she is going to stay in the hotel until the plumber comes to keep the shower from getting the bathroom floor wet. She is such piece of crap. Then, Yazan explains that he can’t have a girlfriend for a year. They have to be married. Yazan says he needs a translator to make sure Brittany knows his situation. Good Idea!
Kenny & Armando
These two are off to try to appeal the rejection of their application for the a marriage license. Hannah get more and more beautiful ever episode. Armando does such a good job with her clothes and hair.
Deavan & Jihoon
Deavan’s mother is headed back to Korea for the wedding and Jihoon is not happy. Her mom is awful. Jihoon looks cute with red hair. Apparently, at some point, Jihoon goes nuts and gets abusive with Deavan and Drascilla. The situation was so bad that TLC flew Deavan and kids back to the US immediately. Afterward, they were both allegedly disinvited to the Tell All. Deavan claims that Drascilla has an eating disorder because she is afraid of everything now and refuses to eat. She has been under a doctor’s care. And Deavan already has another serious boyfriend. That story really surprises me. Jihoon seems like he is afraid of his own shadow.
There are only two episodes left. And they look really dramatic. Then, it looks like we get a regular 90 Day fiance season with all new people.
Thanks for the recap TT! OK I am confused though, did I miss the Jihoon part about him becoming abusive??? I read online about it and quite frankly, did believe it but was it on this episode??
No I just happened to catch a story about it. Not sure where but I believe they had quotes from Deavan. I doubt it was filmed. But I don’t think we will see either of them after this season. I don’t understand why Deavan wouldn’t be allowed to come to the Tell All..
I meant I didn’t believe it… I did see Jihoon saying Drascilla was expelled from her school or something like that for biting or hitting and the school stands behind him… hope I have that right. If Deavan was clearly an innocent party, why not show her on the tell all? Something fishy…
I’ve also read that the producers were unhappy with Dracilla’s behavior, and that the child has no discipline. And that Deavan got upset that Jihoon tried to reach Dracilla some discipline and that’s why Deavan left.
Regardless, they’re still married, so it’s funny that someone so concerned about infidelity, is actually seeing someone else so quickly.
I don’t see Jihoon as the violent type. He seems terribly afraid of Deavan’s mother. And Deavan to an extent. I don’t remember him even really getting into it when they argue. He usually tries lying to diffuse the situation.
Also, I have never heard of a very young child having an eating disorder over trauma. Not saying it couldn’t happen but I have studying child psychology as both and undergrad and a grad student. There was like a whole course on childhood development that focused on how young kids are stressed and over booked and never was an eating disorder a thing. She says she THINKS that is what it is. I don’t. There may be a physical illness that is causing her behavior issues and her loss of appetite. I think Deavan is claiming he pulled her hair out or something. My mama used to wack me over the head with a hair brush is I didn’t sit still while she was doing my hair. It didn’t cause an eating disorder. This whole story is weird.
Deavon is now saying she’s been diagnosed with Bell’s palsy
I had an eating disorder when I was very young , I cant speak for anyone else , I read a story where Devan said that Jason took a chunk of hair out of drasillas head
It’s funny that Ari’s mom refers to the baby as her daughter’s child, just as Ari does, and it was unfortunate that Ari’s parents acted like Bini can’t possibly support their daughter. They enable Ari’s behavior and want to dictate what type of job Bini has. I feel so badly for him. I think Ari’s gonna leave, but wonder if she can take the child without a passport?
As to Brittany…there just aren’t any words.
I don’t believe for a second about Jihoon. I’m still salty about the crap he got for not catching the Monster as she ran into the street yet no accountability from Devil or Mother about how their parenting (or lack there of) led to this point. There is something SERIOUSLY wrong with that child. For Devil to blame Jihoon is rather coincidental.
Deavan claims that production edited the photo that way and they had to recreate the incident or something. She claims It was all Jihoon’s fault and they didn’t show it right. But we see the kid running off down the street. How could they make her reshoot that?
Does anyone know the IG for the guy who is so into all the 90 peeps? I thought his name was John Yates but I can’t find him. Maybe I am blocked? I haven’t ever commented there. So that would be odd.
According to Twitter, his IG is johnyates327tv Twitter is johnyates327 & johnyates327tv
I don’t believe Jihoon would harm Drascilla either. Deaven seems to have made it her job to trash him all the time. Probably to excuse the fact that she already has a boyfriend.
I think production may be causing Kenny to be overly dramatic about the marriage license. The public official seemed certain that they would get it if they appealed it. She even said “see you in three weeks.” (I realize it’s not as easy as the US, but they are in Mexico.)
Ari’s parents have already said they will continue to help them financially. They just want some idea of what Bini makes and if they can count on some regularity re his income. I think they are being generous. Ari is an idiot not thinking that her Jewish father would freak out about the baptism. I am sure it is a really big deal to him and her describing it as just dunking the baby in water is idiotic. It’s as if she has no life experiences.
What I find interesting is that Ari doesn’t want Bini to go to work so he can help her with the baby. But the parents want to know how he is going to support their daughter. Which is it? Should he work and make Ari mad or receive her parents support so he can help her with the baby? The guy is in a no win situation.
The new season of the original 90 Day Fiancée starts on Dec. 6. I’m so excited!!! I love all of these shows. Thanks for recapping TT.
I believe Ari’s mom is a helicopter mom because of Ari’s mental issues. She (Ari) said she’s a cutter and it helps her cope. I can’t fathom that she would move to Ethiopia to give birth with no family/friends/support network given her psychological challenges.
Ari’s parents enable her. She doesn’t seem to be able to handle life without them. I feel like she nags Bini for working and then complains about $. Is she that stupid or just selfish. Deavon and Jihoon never stood a chance. Dracilla seems to never had discipline, remember when she was crawling over the counter where all the food was? Nobody said anything. Bells Palsy? Deavon or Dracilla? I don’t think Sumit wants to get married right now. I feel bad for Jenny but she shouldn’t have befriended his mom while staying in Sumit’s parents home all the while screwing their son upstairs. That’s just not right so i can see why Sumit’s mom can’t stand her. Love Kenny and Armando but Hannah has more sense than anyone else on the show. That’s leaves Yazin and Brittany. Someone please take that girl and knock some sense into her. I can’t stand watching her anymore. Great recap TT.
I find myself feeling very sorry for all the non-Americans in this group – especially Bini and Yazan. Jihoon and Armando too. Kenny and Jenny get some sympathy, but I could not care less about Cheesestick and Mailisa (sp?), but then I don’t think anyone does.
