On tonight’s 90 Day Fiance recap, it seems like Brandon is going to stand up to his parents. We shall see how he does with that task. But first, there are rumors all over social media today about Brandon’s parents. It’s a whole lot. And I have no way to confirm or deny these rumors so they all go under the umbrella of ALLEDGEDLY. I don’t even know where to start. First of all Betty and her husband are rumored to be swingers who go on swingers cruises all the time. EW. Did not need to know that. Also they are allegedly QAnon I can totally see that.
Also the reason the bought the farm was because they are preppers. That I have no issue with. I have a touch of that myself and have shopped online for a cabins in the woods myself. The “puppy mill” is barely legal, but legal and the breed very high end German shepherds with stud fees close to a thousand dollars. He apparently owns a car dealership, which explains Brandon’s car. And she works in HR somewhere and allegedly always late to work and everyone hates her. I could see that being true. Let’s move on.
Brandon & Julia
I’m not sure why I have an hour and a half “first look” of a two hour show. But I do and I didn’t have room to record the first run of the show so the other run happens at like midnight or so. I say all that to say that things might not be in the order of the show as you saw it. Brandon goes to crash his parents dinner. Brandon just blurts out that he and Julia need to leave the farm. He wants to get an apartment. Brandon’s Dad seems drunk and starts telling him not to make a stupid decision. His parents can’t believe that Julia gave him an ultimatum. They are literally the king and queen of ultimatums. Betty wants to know if something specifically happened to make her feel this way? Are they high?

They are both drunk and red in the face. Betty starts to cry when he points out that the she is the problem. He gets a lot of pushback from both of them. Betty is a hypocrite. And delusional. And insane. Also, I wish I had cookies. I have ten tons of junk food in the house (which never happened prepandemic, but hey we are all going to die) but no cookies. Mostly because I really don’t know how to buy junk food anymore. lol. I did eat an entire full size bag of ruffles with dip over the past two days. lol. Sorry back to the drama. Brandon is offering a compromise of them staying in the same room. NO! Brandon. MOVE THE HELL OUT OF THERE! His dad says no, but Betty wants to do it. Anything to maintain control of the boy.
Negotiations With Julia
Brandon takes Julia out to have some drinks and shoot some pool. This is the first time we have seen them off the farm on an actual date! How did that happen? Julia is thrilled just to see other people. Brandon tells her that if she wants they can stay on the farm, sleep in the same room and she won’t have to take care of any of the animals. She doesn’t believe that. Neither do I. But she is willing to go with it for a short time. I’m rather surprised. She was so close to escape.
Mike & Natalie
This couple is my “Kelly Dodd” of 90 Day Fiance. I know I shouldn’t like Kelly but I really want to. And I know this couple is not a good fit at all, but I really want them to be. It’s frustrating. They need counseling. Mike seems to think is mom is leaving with the couple in a better place than they were before she arrived. Mom plants the seed that Natalie has a hidden agenda. Once mom leaves, Mike is no longer interested in planning for the wedding.

These two lovebirds decide to go for a hike. As they get in the truck, Natalie puts on some scented hand lotion. This leads Mike in talking about how she is wearing makeup to go hiking in the woods. She’s not wearing it for the bears, Mike. She’s wearing it for you, and the cameras. I think things get a little lost in translation and Natalie feels like he is making fun of her. It was more gentle teasing. Mike has no idea why she is so quiet. Natalie is a literal tree hugger. She hugs the trees. She smells the trees. It is a bit odd, but cute. This hike is motivation for maybe getting my shit together to go on a weekend get away to a cottage in the woods. Or not. It’s so much trouble.
Later these two go into the cute little shops downtown. She buys some linen spray for the closet. He retaliates by buying cut glass bottles for alcohol. They argue about wedding planning in the store.
Jovi & Yara
Yara and Jovi take a stroll through New Orleans and Yara wants to get henna on her hands. For some reason, she picks that golden moment in time to just blurt out to Jovi that she is pregnant. He doesn’t believe her. The henna lady just pretends that nothing is going on. Jovi says he is not going to believe it until he sees a test. And if she is pregnant he’s “fine with it.” Well isn’t that romantic?

When they get home they are fighting. Apparently, previously Yara has sent him a photo of a positive pregnancy test as a joke. So he doesn’t trust her. So he watches her take another test. The second test looks to be negative. Now Jovi feel vindicated in accusing her of lying. Even though the first test is right there. He’s such a dick. The next test showed she was pregnant.
Ryan & Stephanie
It’s the day after their first romantic night together. They did not have sex the previous night. These scenes gross me out. She’s like a mother with her child. If a mother expected sex four times a night with a kid. She can’t figure out why he is not interested in sex after his “ten months of celibacy.” Then suddenly we are getting to the part about Stephanie hooking up with his cousin. As if Ryan didn’t know that. Ah! The 90 minute sneak peek included and hour of commercials for Discovery Plus. Okay, I’m back now for the second showing.

Stephanie finally tells Ryan that she had sex with Harris. Does anyone think Ryan didn’t already know this? Ha! He told her that he already knew it. The entire hotel knew that she screwed Harris. Now she is trying to blame her behavior on him? Really? He forgives her, but Harris is dead to him. Stephanie sort of acted like he needed to apologize to her. WTF?
Andrew & Amira
Every time I see the quaint French city Amira lives in, I want to jump on a plane and move there. I really can’t fathom why she would leave that place. The current goss is she wants to be a model. Amira hasn’t talked to Andrew much since she got home. Andrew is too busy enjoying his resort. Amira says that she is having problems sleeping since she was detained. Oh Lord, Andrew has a new plan. He thinks she should go to Serbia for 14 days by herself to quarantine. Why can’t she quarantine in France? Why would anyone go to Serbia to get in to the US? It makes no sense.

Back in France, Amira is trying to explain to her friends what happened. She tells her friend Xavier about The Serbian Plan. At first it seems he thinks she is joking. When he realizes that she is serious he advises her not to do it. He says the same thing will happen to her in Serbia as it did in Mexico. He doesn’t want her to risk having that happen to her again. Then, he tells the cameras that Andrew doesn’t seem to be consoling Amira after her experience and just wants her to try again. Then Xavier tells her that she is in a bad relationship and Andrew doesn’t support her. He urges her not to go to Serbia. He tells the cameras that Andrew seems to be controlling Amira.
Zied & Rebecca
Rebecca’s job at the chicken shack is apparently really stressful. So she’s not sure when she can be bothered to move furniture into the apartment. That is something that should have happened long before Zied arrived. Who brings some across the globe to move in and ushers them into an apartment with no furniture and leaves the to sit in it alone all day? Rebecca’s friend Melanie is coming over. Zied must be so miserable. Why is this woman berating Zied for not doing anything all day? He can’t work. What would you like for him to do? Why is it your business? Then she says that they are basically living a few doors down from the last guy. This seems production driven. Who cares? Melanie is awful.

Tarik & Hazel
In March of 2020 the governor shut down the entire state. Only trips to the grocery store or doctor’s appointments are allowed. The crew was forced to pack up and go home. Meanwhile these two are looking online for a girlfriend. I’d think they should probably worry about their own relationship first. And this will not end well for Tarik. He can’t deal with the woman he has. Apparently, Hazel’s sister back home is bisexual too and her parents know about her and are not having it. These two have no plan for how a throuple would work. They have no parameters set and no idea what they are doing. Tarik at least has one rule. The girlfriend will never meet or be around his daughter.
Thanks for the QUICK recap, TT ????
I hate Brandon’s parents and I wish he would grow some balls and move out. 27 is way too old to be arguing with your parents about moving out of the house lol
Jovi is a controlling prick.
Andrew seems like he’d also be into QAnon and probably gets his information about sneaking into the US, during a pandemic, on Facebook.
Rebecca is a game player and I can’t stand watching it…Zied deserves so much better.
I despise Brandon’s parents with a white hot fury. I’ve never hated anyone more on this franchise and that’s saying something.
And WHY DOES everyone in Rebecca’s life just need to take a giant dump on Zied every chance they get? So, far, in their presence, the man has done nothing wrong or untoward. And if I were him, I would be so fed up of hearing the phrases, “my ex” and “her ex,” the next time anyone uttered either I would chuck that freaking shopping cart in the barren apartment right out the motherf**king window.
OMG, thank you for the laughs! I really needed them.
And I agree with everything you said. If I was Zeid I’d say one more time I hear about the ex I’m outta here!
I wasn’t even sure how I felt about Zied back when he was acting so aggro jealous in Tunisia, but now I just feel bad for him ALL the time. He comes all this way and finds out his soon to be spouse prepared for their new life together with an empty apartment and Rando Shopping Cart as his new, ONLY friend? She dropped hundreds on a used gaming system for him and couldn’t buy an area rug and a few bean bags, even? GTFOH The floor is CEMENT.
If my husband demanded I pee in front of him…. he would understand very clearly that is not happening. Jovi is going to be a very controlling husband and she’s a long way from home. I find her annoying too. They’re an awful match.
Remember when Tania had Syngin move into the shed? It wasn’t even habitable and then she went to Costa Rica for a month to drink and dance with Rasta guy and braless women. At least Zied does have to build the apartment. But I do not understand these women who carry on for months about wanting these guys to be here and do little or nothing to prepare. I’m sure Andrew is in the same category. He’s such a schlub I bet he’s done nothing to have a decent place for them to live. So is Brandon. He didn’t look at Julia’s room and see it was a combination of Hobby Lobby for a thirteen year old girl and storage room? Bad enough he didn’t tell her they wouldn’t be sharing a room but then she had a room that is barely habitable for a grown woman.
I don’t get it. If I was in there shoes I’d try to have my place as welcoming and nice as possible. These people have left their countries, families, friends, jobs. And they get here and find out their true love couldn’t be bothered to have a bed (Rebecca), couldn’t be bothered to empty the room of miscellaneous crap (Brandon), etc etc etc. Actions speak louder than words.
Should be at least Zied DOESN’T have to build the apartment.
I agree with you about preparing a place but then again we have working brain cells and actually use them.
I think now, these couples are all about being on a t.v. show.
Throughout the years, seems like the legitimacy of the couples have wavered.
I just saw something about Molly fitting Rebecca for a bra… she needs to do Tania next. Then me.
Agree 100%!
Thank you for the recap, TT. I always feel less alone when you express everything I was thinking during the show! Btw … I order snacks through Amazon. I have prime and they come within 2 days. I probably shouldn’t since I’m reaching the “pandemic 30” and will soon have to order clothes from Amazon .. don’t judge. Lol
TT, I absolutely love love love dip. I don’t even need chips. I could just eat the entire container. I have to force myself not to buy it. it also doesn’t sit well with my UC. (ulcerative colitis) I don’t know who I want to scream at more… Brandon? His parents? Andrew? Jovi? Rebecca? Rebecca needed to deck that nosy friend of hers who I believe has a crush on her. Maybe this was her lesbian girlfriend from years ago? Jovi needs a baby the same way I need another husband in this house leaving messes and not helping out. Andrew, in my fantasy world, would fall off that damn balcony. Stephanie has a slew of mental issues I believe and she should not be on this show. Nobody should wonder why she has never been married. She’s the only one I cannot scream at because I honestly believe something is seriously wrong with her, besides the usual descriptions. How she manages to run a business is beyond me. As for Mike and Natalie? Again, something is wrong with her. She is not all there. He’s so passive-aggressive.
Lol, about another husband and falling off the balcony! Those comments made my day!
Poor Stephanie, no hour long session, no quickie, no bonding, no magic show! Delusional!!
Mike is definitely passive aggressive. He should either give her the ring and be committed or she should go home. It is after all, 90 day FIANCÉ!
Well on the first episode, we saw him sending her back. The fact that they showed that in episode one, I feel like maybe that won’t really happen?
I think it is hilarious that Stephanie is begging this kid for sex. It would be so much cheaper for her just to get an escort in her town. With the amount of money she pays it would be cheaper to just pay a full time escort. Old men pay for companionship all the time. I’m sure she could find a taker.
A man servant with benefits! He could clean and cook while she hula hoops all day and at night give her a magic show!
This totally creeped me out. I’m going to lie I have a younger boyfriend who is 40 and pushing 50. I’m more financial successful but I enjoy his company sue me. Can’t she find someone in the state? Good lord it’s embarrassing. I don’t buy him fancy watches he brings me coffee in the morning & adores me. I think age doesn’t matter at a certain point but they have to be a man & fix stuff. Be here to kill the spiders & fix my car. ( also run to the store to buy me wine when I need it) I love working. I think at a certain point you at least have to be compatible. We sit around and complain about politics & our exes. He’s super right & im super left. But we love music. I love wine & hes loves pot whooo cares at this age?! We both love our kids & we work really hard to scrap by in life. Btw your sentiments are right on with these couples.
Agreed. Either get over her breaking up with you and get on with it or send her home. He seems like he’s constantly punishing her and that’s no way to live. Of course she wants to change everything about him: what he eats, drinks, works, thinks about religion. I don’t know how much is true and how much is phonied up for the show. But I always thought she was a couple cards short of a deck so who knows.
Cant stand Brandon parents and also the closed mouth talker Natalie irritates the hell out of me.I get her English is not great but open you mouth and talk, i so cant….. and Stephanie is she serious……if desperation were a person….
Apparently there was a travel ban between Europe and the US at the start of the Pandemic, which is why Amira can’t just come here and quarantine.
However, it seems to me that an extension of the K-1 might be possible due to the extraordinary circumstances, once Embassies reopen? It doesn’t seem like Andrew is interested in waiting, and maybe this is production influenced.
I thought the same thing. She wants to be a model, wants to be on tv, may be willing to have a storyline.
He never came across as authentic.
Agreed. From the first time I saw her I didn’t like her. She seemed phony, overly made up, the way her hair was always exactly the same on her left side. When she was facetiming with Andrew she was constantly fluffing her hair and making sure the angle on the phone was just so. If I’m talking about a trauma I just experienced I don’t care about those things.
Of course, Andrew is no prize so good luck to them.
I’m still convinced Amira is Lady Gaga playing a gag on us all.

Have you ever just not liked someone just by seeing their face? I would have never thought it viable nor appropriate until I saw Brandon’s mother! Before she uttered one word, I cringed. Then she started talking and I liked her even less. Call it discernment but their is something very sinister about her and her husband. IMO
Brandon is too much of a Mama’s boy to stand up to his parents. His mother was WAY over the top in her reaction to his news. His father’s reaction was odd. He is sitting there saying that Brandon is the *man* of his family, but he clearly lets Betty rule him. And I can’t even with the alleged swinger news. I do not care for his parents. They gave me creepy vibes when they insisted on meeting her at the airport and hanging out with them when they just wanted to be alone. I get why his half-siblings don’t have much to do with the family.
Mike and Natalie creep me out. I cannot stand that she cannot open her mouth to speak and her makeup is a bit too harsh for me. Her mood swings are wild and I see why Mike isn’t sure about marriage, but he did sing a different tune when his Mom was there. The main issue that I have with Natalie is that she wants to change Mike, his alcohol intake, the fact that he eats meat, etc. She knew who he was before, why does she ferl that she can make these demands now?
Jovi and Yara are both way too immature to be procreating. She acts as if she really doesn’t like him. I cannot figure them out.
Poor Zied. He is getting hammered by Rebecca’s family and friends just because of a prior relationship. Give him a chance, people. I like these 2 together.
Hazel just wants to be in America so she can have a girlfriend without judgment from her family. She is not into Tarik at all. He is being super accommodating and I give them a year. This relationship just cannot last.
Stephanie is a desperate cougar. Why she continues to buy this guy ugly watches is beyond me. He is in it for the money and she is in it for the sex.
Amira and Andrew are FF material for me. I feel bad for Amira, but I cannot stand Andrew.
Father Brandon is scary. He is clearly abusive. He did this knowing he was in camera… Imagine what he does behind the scenes. Disturbing and Disgusting.
Jovi intended for his F-Buddy to visit… now he potentially has a child.
Mike – you are so lazy and awful. Natalie – you are so dramatic and awful.
Pathetic, all-around.
I used to love this show. I didn’t miss an episode. I had to stop watching last season. I love love love mike but that crazy bitch he is with, I just can’t. The bitch is off the charts nuts. Not to mention she chooses not to open her mouth when she speaks and she thinks it’s cute. She needs to be off this show. She is bat shit crazy.
When natalie and Mike were in that park in Kiev and she was just staring at him with her evil eyes…I thought oh oh, this one’s nit right in the head.
Stephanie and the young guy…. I am long distance with my now husband. I didn’t see him for 11 months last year. It takes a little settle before we jump into bed but I’m talking 15 to 90 minutes. NEVER would we go overnight without having sex.
Rebecca’s friend was awful. Again I’m telling about my husband. He’s German and English is his second language. His English is wonderful but you need to be patient and give them extra time to hear you and process what you’ve said. They have to hear it, translate, reply, translate and reply. I’m so grateful we speak in my language he can have all the time he needs.
Amira is in it to be an influencer. She spends her whole time on FaceTime adjusting her hair and watching herself. There’s no way she is attached emotionally to him.
WAIT WAIT WAIT! Did I miss when you got married?
I even sent you photos!!! Remember my lovely shoes? ??
NO! I have COVID BRAIN. I can’t remember three hours ago! I am a terrible friend! I get off the couch several ( okay a couple of times) a day and NEVER remember what I got up for! I need a reset or something soon. I was going to try to get out of the house for the weekend but all it does is rain here and I am not going to the wilderness at VERY HIGH RATES just to sit inside someone (albeit in a fancy pants place).
They were spectacular shoes… I love shoes and earrings, they always fit!!! Anyway, lovely wedding in Australia on Boxing Day and now he’s back in Germany again.
I saw a great psychologist a couple of years ago and he made me feel better about my short term memory problems, that’s it’s stress…. conversations stay on the surface but don’t sink in.
I feel like such a shitty friend to so many people. I can’t remember shit. This works well for people that apparently at some point pissed me off. And not so much for people who share good things. I was like this when I taught school. I could never remember which kid pissed me off the day before so this is not new.
But it was great then. Everyday was a new day with me and my kids!
Watching Jovi was really painful to me. The only reason I didn’t turn it off is because that reaction is so cruel and hurtful and horrible that it had to be production, right? And then the henna was gone when she was testing, so maybe it was just production?
Even then, who would play along with that?
OMG, I’m so glad you brought this up, Trashbox! I thought I was losing my mind. I kept saying to myself, why am I not seeing her hand henna she supposedly got a few hours earlier same day as they’re retesting? Didn’t he say, were going right home and do more tests? And we saw it being applied! It should have been there at least a week! It’s like with Brandon and Julia where you see Brandon’s name written by his mom on that door chalkboard to his room, and then 2 seconds later it’s erased, then a few minutes after that, supposedly within the same space of time, it’s written again with no signs of being erased. Or back when Rebecca was supposedly being filmed checking on Zied’s visa status on her tablet and it was listed onscreen as being March, and her tablet date said June!
There have been some other incidents recently that made me wonder if more and more of these storylines are being produced. When Mike and Natalie were supposedly having a fight a while ago scenes showing Natalie walking away Natalie had different shoes on in consecutive scenes. Same episode showed them in the truck and sometimes the outside rear view mirror was broken and sometimes it wasn’t.
Things that make you go hmmm….
At the VERY least it has to be some shady post production splicing and dicing. Like, were there 2 driving fights between Natalie and Mike, and they formed it into one later? It’s still super dodgy if this is supposed to be “reality” TV.
I just wanted to see the henna, because they never showed a good shot of it!
Also, can you even do that pregnant? My doctor wouldn’t let me dye my hair.
I know and I am really confused about Julia’s bedroom. Sometimes her bedroom had a wooden headboard and sometimes it’s one of those brass headboards? Also, what is QANON?
Sometimes Julia is filmed sitting on Brandon’s bed (wood headboard) and sometimes on her “guest” bed (that nasty brass one they likely dragged in from someone else’s curb). Google QAnon. It’s SCARY. “Q” is allegedly a “government insider” who has been anonymously posting BATSH*T conspiracy theories for years claiming they are fact, like how everyone in Hollywood worships Satan and eats human flesh, or that there are child slave colonies on Mars owned by the Clintons. I’m not joking. Somehow, tons of people seem to have become self indoctrinated into it and formed a cult. A huge portion of the terrorists at the Capitol on Jan 6 were wearing “Q” member apparel!
Wow the misogyny in these comments! Just kidding, it’s really not surprising.
Brandon’s parents are beyond selfish and have done nothing to prepare their almost 30 year old son for an independent life. I’m sure some people see Julia as being manipulatuve but she did not plan on coming across the world to be a farm hand for this guy’s parents. She did not even know that they had to stay in separate bedrooms until she was already here. It was super douchey of Brandon to set her up that way. I am totally on her side.
Michael and Natalie need a translator, at the very least. Their continual misunderstandings are undermining anything positive.
Amira needs to tell Andrew to come to France or forget it.
I worked in television for over a decade. Of course there is production and editing going on here. Documentaries are what to watch if you are looking for true reality.
