t’s time for another 90 Day fiance recap! I love this show but it comes on at time when there is just too much to recap. Today, I participated in Taco Tuesday and had tacos and beer for lunch and now I really need a SIESTA! But I really want to watch this show so I’ll try stay awake a bit longer. 🙂
Brandon & Julia
Julia has been throwing up all morning and she thinks she is pregnant. Brandon’s first thought is he needs to tell his mommy and daddy that Julia is feeling sick. He is such a child. Julia can’t figure out why he wants to tell his mommy when she hasn’t even taken a pregnancy test. Julia is nervous about telling Brandon’s parents. The parents took it better than I thought they would.

Finally, they decide to take a pregnancy test. They are both scared to death. And three minutes seems like an eternity. Neither one wants her to be pregnant. She’s not pregnant. I feel like this storyline is made up for TV. She is not pregnant. Now she needs to go get on the pill or something. She already is refusing to get on birth control. They lead Brandon’s parents to believe that she is pregnant for a bit. Just to fuck with them.
Stephanie & Ryan
Thankfully, this situation looks like it is going to implode this week. Maybe this will be the end of these two on the show. Apparently, this big blow up is because Ryan didn’t use a condom when they had sex. Stephanie is having some sort of psychotic break over this. Ryan says that Stephanie is batshit crazy and he is done with her. Then she starts calling Ryan. She’s nuts. Is she drunk or high or is this all just straight crazy? Then she calls Harris to be her new fuckboy.

Because she cannot go five minutes without attention, Stephanie calls Harris to come over. Harris has told her many times that Ryan is not a good guy. Harris says that he can come over tomorrow. Then she calls her friend to complain about Ryan not using a condom. They have never used condoms before. She’s such a drama queen. Stephanie has already decided to move on to her next relationship. With Harris. For fucksake. What is wrong with this one?
Mike & Natalie
These two are down to 30 days. Couples therapy didn’t go so well. Natalie is butthurt because Mike told the therapist that they are no longer in love. So, she does a Zoom call with a new therapist. Natalie talks to the therapist about the time Mike slept at his female friend’s house on her couch the night before the wedding. Then, she decides she wants to rehash the whole thing with Mike.

Natalie decides to confront Mike. Why is it necessary for Natalie to keep rehashing this situation? Mike says that Natalie is jealous of any woman he speaks to including waitresses. Natalie randomly throws out that she is way better looking than he is. Again he accuses her of cheating. Mike says that he doesn’t even think that Natalie likes him. I’m starting to agree. All she does is cause conflict. Later, they try and talk again. Natalie wants to go to a counselor again. Mike says that Natalie is the one with trust issues and she needs counseling for that. Natalie asks for her ring back. Mike says he is not ready for that. Natalie says she feels manipulated by Mike. Why is she there if they are not engaged?
Yara & Jovi
These two argue all of the time. Do they like anything about each other? They are headed to their engagement party that neither of them really want to be at. Plus, Yara has nausea from her pregnancy. All Yara does is cuss at Jovi the entire party. But, surprisingly she is very kind to Jovi’s mom and thanks her for all her hard work on the party. She really did seem to go all out. Jovi tells his parents that Yara is pregnant. His mom is thrilled. Yara is in a very unusual good mood. Jovi is drinking like a fish with the boys and pretty much ignoring Yara. They get in a huge fight during an interview with production. Jovi walks off. He’s such and asshole. Yara deserves better.
Rebecca & Zied
Wait! Rebecca has another kid? Did we know this? Rebecca is still pissed that some girl was flirting with Zied at dinner the night before. Was she though? I feel like Rebecca is overreacting. Oh Rebecca’s kid, Brandon, is about the same age as Zied. Rebecca has five grandkids. Zied is hysterically laughing with production over him being a grandfather. He seems to be really good with kids. Sadly it seems he will never have kids of his own. This bothers Rebecca.

Later, Rebecca becomes really concerned about Zied not going to be able to have kids. She is worried he might resent her for that. Rebecca brings it up to Zied. He says not to worry about the future, he is happy right now. However, he is only 27 years old and he may not always be okay with not having kids.
Tarik & Hazel
Tarik and Hazel facetime with one of Tarik’s friends, Angela. Hazel tells her that she wants wants a girlfriend. Angela says that they need to get to know each other before they add a third person to the relationship. Threesomes never work out well. Didn’t they already learn this with the last girl? These two really have no storyline. It seems they are in serious quarantine and are probably self-filming.
I’m so over practically everyone on this season. Even people I liked before, like Mike, I’m losing patience and respect. Finally Natalie asked the right question: why am I here? Mike never got over Natalie throwing the ring in the suitcase and not being able to say she loved him at the end of last season. I know what has been said about these two and what they’re doing now (don’t want to mention it in case it’s a spoiler). Mike has either got to put effort into resolving these issues or call it a day. Natalie has to either get over the past and accept Mike as he is or go home. He was a meat eating, alcohol drinking, atheist when she met him. Just because she moved to the US doesn’t give her permission to demand he change everything about himself to please her.
I liked Jovi in the beginning. Now I think he’s an immature party boy who’s not ready to settle down. Yara is no prize however. She thinks she’s all that and a bag of chips. Yeah, I’d kill to have that body but not the personality that goes with it.
Ryan is an immature, spineless mama’s boy. Their whole birth control aversion is ridiculous. Every time she says she doesn’t want “to drink medicine” I throw something at her. There are so many options these days. Don’t bring some poor innocent child into the world because you and your boyfriend are too childish to use birth control.
Stephanie is mentally ill. It’s pretty bad when the woman is so fucked up in the head that the guy can’t even stand to put up with her long enough to get to the US.
Speaking of fucked up in the head, Rebecca is pissing me off. That old saying what we fear we create couldn’t be more true. Zied has done everything to prove how committed he is. He left his country and family. He tells her constantly he loves her. He puts up with her bullshit. She needs to quit being so insecure and trying to make problems with them. They could always get a surrogate. Hey! THEY COULD GET ANGELA’S DAUGHTER TO TOTE THEIR BABY!! They’re all in GA! Maybe they could even get Sky’s egg! That’s perfect!
Rebecca, you’re welcome!
Said Ryan but meant Brandon.
LOL at Angela’s daughter toting the baby!
I also wish Rebecca would stop being SUCH a self sabotaging sad sack. Does she ever have any fun with Zied? Smile? Laugh? She always looks like she sucked a bag of lemons and is about to cry. How can Zied even answer what he’ll feel like in 10 years OTHER than answer her what he feels like right NOW? Should he pull a pack of tarot cards out of his back pocket and try and predict the future? It’s like Rebecca is determined to flog this relationship until it’s done.
Omgosh, you read my mind. Pathetic is how she comes across with the same circumstances she started with (well tons of baggage)
Zied is probably wondering as am I, “where’s Rebecca??” LOL
this season is so creepy. I just find it all to be weird and creepy. Stephanie, Ryan and Harris, and Natalie, leaders of the bunch. But mom’s and looking for girls and creepy dads I guess I am very justified. Geez.?
I was so pissed off at this episode. I think production COMPLETELY manufactured and directed the Brandon/Julia “pregnancy scare.” Out of whole cloth, start to finish. I think all of them were in on it. I mean, if you’re driving and passing strip malls thinking maybe you’re pregnant, you don’t ask to stop at a drug store IMMEDIATELY for a test? Whether you want a positive or a negative, there’s no way you’ll just sleep on that sh*t. Two, we’re supposed to believe Brandon’s parents who have been so far in his business all his life they practically sleep in his bed and still give him baths and lose their minds if he leaves a hot tub cover askew hear his fiancee might be pregnant and just calmly go…hmmm, well, that might be unfortunate, let us know. NO WAY! They knew it was all filming ruse. Then Brandon brings home a test after work and…Julia is still sitting on the creepy broken brass bed next to the boiler room even though this is supposed to take place AFTER she moved all her stuff into his big boy room? Why? Because I think they filmed this before that and edited it in to look like later. Then they take the test when there is still daylight but parents haven’t returned from work, it’s negative, then it’s now miraculously nightfall and presumably Brandon and Julia go knock on their door to wake them up, but they’re fully dressed? What, they came home on the day Julia was supposed to take the test and never asked about it for 6 hours, slept in their clothes, then got up to hear about it?? I think there might have been a brief moment the parents were scared the fakey test storyline turned out to be real, but that’s it.
Sorry for the rant. I was so mad at this BS
I feel your pain. I’ve ranted too about production ruining shows, like MAFS as well.
Good points about the timelines. I also thought it was weird they got them out of the room but they were fully dressed.
The whole insisting to tell the parents before she even took a test was ridiculous. NOBODY does that. Once people know they don’t even tell anyone right away most of the time.
The weird thing is, there’s enough drama with Brandon and Julia storyline without obviously manufacturred horsesh*t. Nothing about those scenes made sense. She also says something like, remember last week when you…and trailed off. I guess it was supposed to allude to him not pulling Out? A WEEK ago? There’s no over the counter pregnancy test in the world that can be taken a WEEK after you think you’ve conceived AND no one I have ever known has had morning sickness 7 days after they think the egg was fertilized when pregnant. Including me. There must have been a lull in the alleged puppy mill locale and production told them to play act a baby scare for air time. And it’s insulting they do it so slapdash you can see the fakery a mile off.
I agree with SLM’s full rant and with Lucretia. It all seemed very manufactured to me.
Also why can’t Mike and Natalie just oh I dunno INTERACT with each other at home. About anything but rehashing old arguments. Plays some card games. Talk about the weather. Discuss the news? Share childhood memories. Paint each other’s portraits. DO SOMETHING TO GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER AND STOP ARGUING FOR FIVE MINUTES!
Also, when you want to talk to a male, the best way to do it is sitting side by side and having some sort of focus like a puzzle or something. When counseling my young male students the way to get them to talk is to be side by side (not staring at them) and playing with blocks or coloring or whatever and just casually bring up the subject I want to know more about.
If he says “I don’t know” one more time regarding their relationship, I think I may just scream, loudly.
It is beginning to be a answer to keep filming. It is insulting to watch and listen to
“I don’t know” oh SHUT up mike!!I
All these (idiots) trying to hang on to a relationship to be miserable is just crazy to me.
Yes, TT! I keep thinking the same thing – no one ever seems to have normal fun together as a couple on here. They all seem miserable and angsty or bored all the time. And why the hell did Mike keep going with the 90 day visa if he was so over Natalie? It cost money. Did he just want 3 months of someone to clean his house and play with his doodle? Surely he could have found someone stateside likely willing to do that for longer without the extra expense and paperwork.
Yes, I thought the exact same thing. There has been a lot that seems fake about their scenes. Brandon and Betty often smile inappropriately, and it seems like duper’s delight. Like they are cracking up about what BS they are spewing and can’t pull it off completely.
One thing that continuously bothers me about the 90 Day franchise is that abusive women are excused, while anything a guy does is vilified.
Yara is horrible to Jovi. While is is absolutely no prize, she picked him and chose to get pregnant by him for now the second time. I cannot believe he is any different now than he was when he was paying for their exotic vacations. It’s just not a good situation for anyone to be in, and the constant complaining is going to make him drink more not less. every argument includes a threat to go back home, yet I’m sure if she had better options she never would have arrived.
Natalie…is a really odd woman. She’s now refused to say she loves Mike twice, but wants the ring back? Why? He eats meat and drinks alcohol. it irks the heck out of me that she brings up the supposed cheating whenever things aren’t going her way, both at last seasons reunion, and now. And it appears she’s also choosing to embellish the story. She just needs to go home and stop the misery for both or them.
Brandon and Julia look to be a really great couple, but if he can’t afford to support a wife, why did he bring her here? This whole situation seems really odd to me, and like his parents bought him a wife to keep him on the farm.
As for Hazel and Tarik. They already had one threesome that ended badly when the woman was more interested in Tarik than Hazel. Why she wants to believe things will go better then next time around, I’ve no idea. Is she really not interested in Tarik because she prefers women, or is she interested in both men and women? I guess only time will tell, but telling Tarik’s friend wasn’t the best move as now I suspect his family is about to find out.
This is the biggest group of train wrecks I’ve ever seen and I feel 80% is total fake
Brandon/Julia: this is all scripted and all I can think when I see his parents are they really swingers? ? yuk. what German Shepard puppy mill are they hiding and what car dealership does his dad own so I never buy one from them
Stephanie/Ryan: she IS Batshit and Harris is moving in!
Mike/Natalie: her coming to US was for reality show $ only. They’ve been long over
Yara/Jovi: look at her stomach. She’s been pregnant for a while. Or maybe she actually ate a meal in New Orleans and got bloated since as she says “all Americans are fat”.
Rebecca/Zied: please somebody buy sweet Zied some clothes that fit him now . But since she only had a rogue shopping cart and a bed on the floor to offer him maybe that’s asking too much. She’s gotta get over that stupid jealousy
Tarik/Hazel: she came to the US for a threesome and that isn’t gonna turn out well. It never does.
Almost nothing enrages me more than that empty apartment and the menacing, inexplicable shopping cart. What the actual hell. She supposedly has furniture, knew when Zied was coming and couldn’t figure out any way to get it to the new place and STILL CAN’T. She’s almost 50 and manages a whole restaurant and can’t pull off getting furniture from point a to point b??? And that friend of her daughter’s saying, my family has a bunch of trucks, would that help? Rebecca should have been like, yes, absolutely, here is my next day off, do you know anyone who would be willing to spend the day doing it with your trucks, Zied and me? Nope. Instead she pouted and wanted to start sh*t with this girl. Zied has the patience of a saint if he’s still sitting all day on the concrete floor with looming shopping cart for companionship without losing his mind at Rebecca over it.
There is absolutely no reason a normal person who is in love with someone in another country doesn’t prepare a home for them with furniture and beds and couches and chairs and food in the fridge BEFORE THEY ARRIVE. It’s just ridiculous.
She works at a chicken place. At least there could be chickens in the fridge! And probably cole slaw.
I know, can you imagine getting off that billion hours of connecting flights, being forced to go to Fudruckers for a dump on Zied dinner with her daughter after you deplane and then finding out your love nest has a mattress on the floor, a coffee maker and a used PlayStation? And nothing else! Then that friend of hers has the nerve to ask Zied what he does all day! “I lay on concrete and much cry all day, Becky, thank you very much for asking!”
I’m about a 30 minute drive from Zied. Should I go rescue him and bring him to the ghetto shack? lol.
I’m in favor. He always seems pleasant and he’d be happy and grateful just to sit on an actual couch or chair.
lol I do have lots of furniture my my house is a hot mess, muchlike me. I wonder if he cleans?
I so want this to happen!!! Rebecca wouldn’t be too happy,but Zied deserves some kindness and Some friends!
LOL on menacing shopping cart!
I SWEAR I’m not trying to be insensitive or close-minded and I know there’s a myriad of sexual spectrums out there, BUT in regards to Hazel in particular, the gut instinct I have is she’s only really sexually attracted to women and wants Tarik as her security in life. I think that’s why she was jealous of the other woman in their first thruple. She thought that woman would undermine her life stability with Tarik, not because she’s so in love with him. The way she waxed poetic about finding a woman in America sounded very genuinely like someone dreaming of a wife. She never sounds that animated talking about or to Tarik. It’s pretty sad. I think she would love the freedom of finding and marrying a woman. Tarik thinks he’s hit the jackpot in some cheesy porn scenario and doesn’t even notice the reality. I don’t think he sees Hazel or a potential other woman as people, they are just sort of characters in his fantasy.
I think Tarik is a great guy who likes Asian women and loves Hazel and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her happy. I think he really just wishes that he was enough for Hazel and would rather not be in a throuple.
Either way he is definitely not being realistic about what’s going on and everyone involved is going to end up unhappy. He seems kind of eager for the threeways, though, in my opinion. Again, I don’t care AT ALL if fully consenting adults who are all informed of scenarios do whatever with each other. I just think both Tarik and Hazel aren’t being honest with themselves or each other and it’s going to all end in tears. Again.
Oh I totally agree. I’ve had experience with threesomes and sort of a throuple relationship. It always ends badly.
I haven’t had experience myself, but have known people who had open relationship or throuple/multiples. Someone is always on a different page or wanted something different. I had friends who were in an open marriage because the wife insisted on it, even though the husband didn’t and he went along with it because she pestered him. She told me she thought it would keep her husband on his toes because he’d secretly worry about her with other men, even though she wasn’t seeing anyone. Then he started seeing another woman and left her, because he said he wanted someone who wanted to be monogamous. She was so shocked it happened and I thought, REALLY? That was a surprise? Basically, Tarik wants a little adventurous sex, but ultimately a wife. Hazel wants a wife and will make herself ok with the threeways to have even the semblance of a full on relationship with a woman. It’s like they both want the in love spouse and neither is going to get it.
Interesting theory. The original season with Tarik and Hazel she seemed totally unemotional and unattracted to Tarik. I never got any sense that she had feelings for him. I thought she only wanted a ticket to the US. Now I understand what’s really going on. She wants to be with a woman which she can’t in her homeland. Tarik was a respectable and secure means to an end.
Yes, I don’t think it was she was desperate to be in America. I think if any respectable guy from anywhere had stepped in to whisk her away from her family and area where she felt she couldn’t openly express her sexuality AND was pro her being with a woman inside or outside their relationship, she would have gone for it. She just often seems skeeved out by Tarik and totally disinterested in him, then she talks about finding the right woman and just lights up.
