90 Day Fiance Recap: Bless This Mess

December 22, 2020 by tamaratattles 30 Comments

90 Day FianceI’m trying to wake up and get on this 90 Day Fiance recap. I am full blown narcoleptic lately all I want to do is sleep! At least today was the first day that the days start getting longer. I need more sunshine! Argh. I just realized that The Bachelorette wasn’t taping. 🙁 I will miss the first 30 minutes.

Brandon & Julia

Anyway, we start with the mama’s boy, Brandon and his fiance, Julia. Julia has been dealt a bad hand with Brandon’s smothering mother. She is thrilled to be in the US. Brandon’s mom has their whole day planned minute by minute. Julia suggests they just stay in the hotel room. It’s day two and she is already over the parents. Julia tells Brandon to either confront his mother or she will go home.

Betty is such a clueless mother. Who would intrude on their son’s relationship like this? Julia is shocked by all the “fat people” running. She’s in DC. She would really freak out if she came to the south! She is loving DC and loves taking selfies. Brandon half-heartedly talks to his mother about the sleeping situation at the house. He has no backbone. Then suddenly, Brandon tells the parents that he has other plans with Julia and they want time alone. Betty is not happy. He has dinner reservations with Julia. Over dinner he tells her that his conversation with his mother was not productive. Julia says if she doesn’t change her rules, they need to move out. And, Julia is shocked that Brandon doesn’t have money to move out.

90 Day Fiance Recap JoviJovi & Yara

Today, Jovi is taking Yara to the bayou to meet his mom. Yara doesn’t seem to know what to expect. She seems to overdress for everything. Jovi is nervous. Suddenly, Yara finds out that Jovi is going to have to leave for work offshore before she is even settled in. At least Yara likes his mom’s cooking. Jovi’s mom seems super nice. Yara and Jovi are already arguing over when and where to get married. Yara on the other hand is kind of a bitch.

Jovi’s mom is the best. Sadly, Yara is the worst. The wine does seem to loosen her up a bit. Then, she told Jovi that his mother’s food was tasteless. Who says that to her lover? I don’t care if she fed her dogfood. She needs to zip her lip. Most of us would kill to eat real cajun food in the bayou! I guarantee you that her cajun cooking did not taste like nothing. Then she trashed his mother’s town. The big issue is that Yara is refusing to have a wedding in Louisiana. What does Jovi see in this one? Blond haired bitches are a dime a dozen. He seems pretty normal.

Andrew & Amira

I think this is our first look at these two and they are weird. Andrew runs a daycare where he dresses up in costumes to read to the children. He runs the center with his mother inside her house. He admits he has no friends. This show is turning into I Love A Mama’s Boy. Oh wow, Amira is from France. Her hometown Saumur is adorable. Why would she ever leave?  From Google, “Saumur is a town in western France. Overlooking the Loire river, the Château de Saumur is a medieval castle with a museum displaying archaeological finds, ceramics and tapestries. The National Riding School, home to the Cadre Noir display team, is known for its equestrian shows.” I want to go there!

Amira’s hobby is apparently buying makeup. He should probably not take Amira to Ulta. I don’t even wear makeup much and I want to buy all the things there! Oh and she is half Egyptian. I want to marry her! But, I’d want it to be 90 Day the other way! Andrew is a lunatic. Amira flew to Vegas to meet Andrew. He proposed in Vegas. She seems very happy with him. They had to wait a year for the visa. But when she got her visa the US borders were closed due to Covid. So they are going to go to Mexico and quarantine and then enter the US. I love this storyline even if Andrew is a bit eccentric. I love Saumur! And, I hope she has to stay there longer! Amira is scared to death to fly but she is going to risk it all for love.

90 Day Fiance Recap Is Getting Long!

Andrew meets with his sister Connie. She’s hurt that he is going to miss her baby shower to quarantine in Mexico with Amira. Baby showers are for women anyway. And lots of women hate baby showers. Also,  who has a baby shower during a pandemic? Connie thinks Amira is superficial? Andrew says that Amira suddenly doesn’t want to have kids and that is a huge issue. Andrew is really shifty-eyed. Is that some sort of a condition? Amira meets with her dad one last time before leaving for Mexico City. He thinks she should wait until after Covid.

Amira meets with her dad. He is not down with the whole sneaking into the country via Mexico plan. He wants he to wait until after Covid. But, she tells her dad that he gave her an ultimatum. She feels like she has not choice. Her father is very worried. Her father can’t stand Andrew. He says Andrew makes her sad all the time. I love her dad. I think he is the Egyptian half.

90 Day Fiance RecapTarik & Hazel

Hazel is going to break Tarik’s heart. It is extremely obvious that Hazel wants a girlfriend, not a husband. Tarik wants to buy a powder blue suit because that is Hazel’s favorite color. His sister thinks that is a ridiculous plan. It’s way too 70s. Tarik and his brother are estranged because his brother Dean, already knows that Hazel is a user. We figured that out in the first episode. Then, Dean moved to the Philippines to be with a girl. #hypocrite Tarik has a daughter with autism. This situation only gets worse.

Tarik goes to the airport to meet Hazel, and I already hate this couple. He sobs like a baby when she shows up.  Yet, she has no emotion. The powder blue suit was oddly a hit with Hazel. She has left her son in the Philippines. That’s always a bad look. Wait! He has been with Hazel for two and a half years. Hazel has culture shock. She is hoping to bring her son to the US. Tarik’s house is messy but bigger than anything Hazel is used to. She’s never seen a dishwasher. Tarik things the house is clean. And it it not. She is a bit anxious about the size of the house. I get that.

90 Day RecapMike & Natalie

Mike and Natalie are in Seattle stay at a hotel I stayed in for two weeks once. I forget the name of it but it is the only hotel in Seattle with water views. Rumor has it that The Beatles stayed there once and fished from their balcony. Just seeing those hilly streets in Seattle reminds me that I am way to old to ever go back there. The hills were murder. Actually, this doesn’t look like the hotel I stayed it. This looks closer to the pier. I hate that Natalie is making Mike throw Uncle Beau out of the house. Natalie says that she is concerned about living in the country. She is also shocked by the portion size at dinner.

Click Here For More 90 Fiance Recaps & Tea

Natalie is concerned that she doesn’t have an engagement ring. And she also hates Mike’s country house. She says it reminds her of a horror movie. How did she move across the globe without knowing anything about where Mike lives?  She is going to be afraid out there. She’s a city girl moving to a town with 7,000 people. He really does live in the middle of nowhere. She’s also not fond of the cat. She’s a dog person. He should get her a dog. That would help. Plus, she is freezing. She hates it all.

Next time we meet Ryan and Stephanie. And it appears she is batshit crazy. Julia freaks about about life on the farm. Zied continues to try for his visa. Natalie is miserable in the middle of nowhere. Things go south in Mexico. Jovi and Yara fight over furniture.

    Betty is way too overbearing, Brandon should have told Julia about his parents& “house rules” before she flew over. Also, having to take care of the farm animals seems to be news to her.

    Yara is caustic and demanding- don’t see how she is going to tolerate Jovi’s lifestyle.

    Felt very sorry for Amira’s dad.

    The Natalie and Mike relationship seems doomed.

    Mike is passive aggressive. He’s hiding something. He’s not the good ol boy. Felt it last season with him, and I still do. Editing totally gaslights Natalie to be the whiney, desperate Russian (Ukrainian?) chick. She might be that, but something is definitely up with him.

      Here’s the thing for me. Natalie’s feelings for Mike changed as soon as he said he was in debt. She threw the engagement ring back at him, and painted him as a cheater at the reunion, so why did she continue with the visa process and expect him to get happy to see her? Mike probably isn’t perfect, but Natalie knew who and what he was before getting her plane ticket. This is not gonna end well, and we already saw the preview that said she’s going back.

        I’m with you on this Karen! I do believe he is done with her and probably wouldn’t have had her come if visa hadn’t been approved. Natalie had several YEARS to figure out where Mike lived and who he was and she acted liked a spoiled brat. I love that he hasn’t given the ring back – throw my ring at me and I’m keeping it! Sorry I just feel his “weirdness” that people are calling out is that he is done. He didn’t act that way until he went over there and she got on his shxt about being an aethiest (which she knew) and in debt……

      He doesn’t answer questions directly. He has a way of skirting around thing without answering. On the reunion of their season he had no clue why she was mad. She wouldn’t say then all of a sudden she explains and he remembers. There were a few other things that happened where he really didn’t answer. I fell they are like Larissa and colt. Larissa is no gem but as time went by we saw how sneaky and manipulative colt is. I think as time goes by we will start to see that mike isn’t just a cute cuddly man. He hides too much.

    Never mind the sex issue and sharing of rooms, Brandon’s mother is driving me crazy with the focus on time. From the moment we met her, she’s been saying hurry up, we’re going to be late…. late for the airport, late for dinner, late for sight-seeing. I’m sure her family is used to her, but I wouldn’t be able to take that, especially with jet lag! (Not sure which way the jet lag is working though… shouldn’t Julia be awake early?) Either way, it’s annoying! Julia on the farm should be funny.

    I want to give Natalie the benefit of the doubt too that she’s tired from traveling and having a bit of culture shock and buyers regret. In her interview, she was so nice about Uncle Beau. Maybe things improve there later?

      Brandon’s mother is driving me absolutely crazypants bananagrams with her bulldozing at every turn. About everything. Even when she’s asking someone’s opinion, ostensibly, she’s just expecting then to affirm whatever she wants/plans/needs. That trip planning is like a hijacking. I have a feeling this story of Julia losing her shit they keep alluding to without giving details in Paris may have been a blow up over Betty’s myopic micro-planning-managing. I had an SIL do this once during a big family outing like she was the only adult herding a field trip of children where we all got told what to do, when and how and I lasted about 2 hours before blowing up and screqming that maybe we’d each want some input and autonomy into the activities. Betty offers to pay for things so she can leverage it into everyone falling in line. And did anyone else catch when she told Brandon how she “wasn’t real sold” on he and Julia even sharing a room AFTER the wedding? Lady, you need some therapy, your son is pushing 30 and he’s clearly sexually active with his adult partner. Get over it or give him the push to move out.

    I didn’t realize Mike and the Natalie were at the Edgewater. I live in the Seattle area by the way. I thought they might have picked the Alexis, but both are close to the restaurant they ate at, which is either Ivar’s or Anthony’s. I’ve never eaten in either, so I couldn’t tell for sure.

    Julia is my favorite prospective spouse so far, as she really seems into Brandon, while Jovi’s mom is my favorite family member. She’s awesome!

    Jovi needs to send Yara packing, and know his mother is gonna say this too, and Brandon’s mom needs to let her son be an adult. I get the feeling Brandon blew threw his college fund courting Julia and may not actually have a job outside of the farm.

    Mike an natalie are a trainwreck. We already know she’s going back to the Ukraine, but I hope things don’t get dangerous before she does.

      Brandon said he works for an exterminating company, I think full time. He’s 27, so not sure if he already went to college or is still planning, and I doubt Betty would let him have access to a college fund if there was/is one. I know he said he blew through his $10,000 savings balling out like a rock star inviting Julia on expensive trips around the world. I think he led her to believe the money wasn’t a problem. I think she was genuinely shocked when he said he had ZERO left for them to start their lives together out on their own and some looming debt. It seems like there have been a lot of guys on this show who present themselves one way while wooing someone overseas, then when they get them over here for the K-1 visa they say it was all a bit of a put on.

    Ah yes, The Edgewater is where I stayed. I spent a shit ton of money staying there and I was in a normal room. I just never wanted to leave. My nephew was there (working for Microsoft) and picke up a pricey dinner there one night. But they seemed to have views of the pier or something and my waterview room was just water… so I think they might have been somewhere else. I extended my stay at least twice. I tend to do that a lot when I travel. LOL. I can’t wait to travel again.

        Was there also a fireplace outside? Then yes, it’s the Edgewater.

        I drive Lyft and love to tell the infamous story of The Who, the Rolling Stones, and Aerosmith staying there, fishing out the windows, and teaching rooms.

        The hotel is bear the Ferry Terminal, so perhaps that’s one of the Piers you saw? There is also a pier for cruise ships that may not have been there last you were.

            Yes, that’s it. You like it walked over to Anthony’s, which is probably where Natalie and Mike ate.

            When was this filmed, though? We started wearing masks here in late February because of the Nursing home that had a bunch of COVID cases, in Kirkland, the city next to Microsoft in Redmond. We were ground zero for a few weeks before NY had it’s cases.

    Why do these people not do any research first! I mean who moves without knowing their living conditions or researching where they are moving too, I know they will do a lot just to get to America but yeah. I don’t get expecting someone who has helped you move and states they live in rural Virginia and works for their family will have enough money to move out, but I guess the thought is everyone makes a lot here?

    These people who don’t seem to think about not only the guy but the lifestyle kill me. Natalie has known for years that Mike lives on a farm in a rural area. Why is she so surprised Mike lives in a rural area? The house isn’t bad. It’s had two guys living there so it’s a bachelor pad. She can change the look, no big deal. She acted like the cat was a tiger about to attack and eat her. Also, the house didn’t look that dirty to me. Kitchen counters were clean and uncluttered which is an indication that the rest of the house is okay. Not like Tarek’s, which was dirty. Natalie is just finding fault with everything because she made a poor decision to come here and doesn’t want to face it.

    Yara is another one who didn’t consider the lifestyle as well as the guy. Everything was fine as long as Jovi was footing the bill for all the travel to exotic places, staying in nice hotels, eating out all the time. Now that it’s regular life she’s lost interest. New Orleans looks like an interesting place to live near. It’s like Key West, people only think of it as a party town but there’s lots more to do: historical stuff, cuisine, music, art. Yara is an idiot if she doesn’t find anything interesting there. But she knew where she was going if she stayed with Jovi. It’s not like one day she got off a plane and found herself in Louisiana, surprise!
    And what’s with the no party edict to celebrate their marriage? She can get married wherever she wants. What’s the problem with his mother throwing a party in their honor? That I don’t get at all. Yara may have been fun to travel with and fuck.and parade around with but I don’t see what else she has to offer.

      For some reason I feel the need to point out that it is a LONG, LONG, SO FUCKING LONG drive from Miami to Key West and my driver/boyfriend was drunk and wanted to stop at every strip joint along the way. It’s I miracle I survived. And also we committed crimes along the way in that we stayed on the property that had an outdoor shower with a plaque for the Bush family. Don’t tell the fuzz. I am pretty sure the statue of limitations is over.

    Brandon’s mom is a psycho. Who even thinks that someone who just flew here from Ukraine is ready for a day fully packed of tourist shit? A psycho. Who thinks that same person is expected to work on THEIR farm? A psycho. Run Julia, run the fuck away from these psychos. Brandon’s mom has dead eyes anyway. Are they in a cult cuz something is WAY off with all of them. Brandon has no balls. Just name the show that. He is either terrified of his mom or she has some sort of sick hold on him and I’m not even going there… Yara is a bitch. Hazel also has dead eyes, like a zombie, all she wants Tarek for is a green card and a girlfriend. He’s an idiot for not seeing this and clean that damn house. Gross. The weird guy Andrew? Danger Will Robinson. Run Amira, run fast with Julia. Natalie, I swear to God, Glenn Close from Fatal Attraction, is such a droopy dawg. Listen, I’ve traveled but I still have my little World Atlas book out and look where these people are from and I’m just watching. Apparently, none of these people research where they are going, what to expect, or HARK use google maps to see the place. No matter what this is my favorite show. Wouldn’t miss it. Thanks for recapping.

    I feel so bad for Julia. It definitely seems she’s into Brandon. They need to move even if it’s a studio, they will have a much happier life without the parents day in and day out. I guess they see Julia as free labor. Why does she have to take care of the animals? Who took care of them before she came? Yara WOW, can’t stand her. She really needs to go home. Why do these girls always threaten to go home if they don’t get their way? I say GO HOME if your not happy with the situation, nothing is keeping you there. Natalie is another one always crying and always has an attitude. I think Mike is over her, he was not really happy when she gave him the news that she was coming. I don’t think he wants to marry her. Tarek is a fool!!

      I thought the same thing – these creepy parents are guffawing about leaving Julia on DAY 5 in a new country in charge of doing all the farmwork…if they are regularly away all day, who the hell was doing it before now? And, also, she literally knows zero about this type of work, was never consulted about how much she’d want to participate when she ISN’T EVEN LEGALLY A FAMILY MEMBER YET and is being made to sleep alone in a broom cupboard filled with old spackle cans and storage boxes on a bed littered with Goodwill secondhand plushies as a design choice (?). Run, Julia. Grab your passport, appeal to production, get your bags and get on the first plane back to Russia. This family has you out in the middle of nowhere without even transportation and totally dependent on them and they are scary as hell.

          The way Betty was talking about “Julia’s New Room” in DC and how she would fall in love with it, I thought maybe they at least went to the trouble of creating a lovely space – but they just put a tiny brass bed in a storage alcove. With the storage STILL THERE. WTAF would Brandon be ok with that. At the VERY least shouldn’t he insist she stay in the big room with the double bed and he can bunk up with the spiders and the old wrapping paper boxes? And I thought the Dad was going to actually backhand Brandon at the table. It looked like he wanted to. Made me kind of fearful he could have in the past. Imo

    Me too. I swear I almost jumped back from the screen. I wonder if all that jovial good-guy shtick masks some deep dark moods and anger issues. Could explain why Brandon’s mom is wife number 3 or 4. I started to feel watching them like I was 30 min into a Lifetime movie where the music begins to turn ominous and I know the heroine is headed into some scary shit she never imagined.
