So the latest calamities over here include voles (do not google, it’s gross) and overflowing toilets, and yet I am here for this 90 Day Fiance recap BECAUSE IT IS THE TELL ALL!! I could not be more excited. This is the best show that a lot of you are not watching. But it gets ALL THE RATINGS that Bravo wishes it still got. It’s huge with those of us who are not Brainwashed By Bravo. My incessant whining about Bravo shows is because I feel like we all have still watch them because we have been watching them and are invested in the housewives. But 90 Day Fiance gives us new people each season and it’s a first season show every season! Now Let’s see where they are now in the Tell All we have all been waiting for.

I can’t you how excited I am for this next two hours. WTF is Yara wearing? She looks like a Martian with a camel toe. Natalie and Mike arrive separately. Julia is doing a lot of narration. I would like to hit Andrew in the head with a brick. He wants answers from Amira? Does he not know by know that we have all seen him gaslight her and treat her like shit and then go tell his mommy that he has no idea why she left him??? Andrew has had a blow out. Natalie arrives and doesn’t speak to Mike. Hazel and Tarik are dialing in virtually from different locations! They are in quarantine in the same house quarantining due to COVID exposure. Thankfully, we don’t have to deal with Stephanie or any of her interchangeable men tonight.
Mike & Natalie
Yara and Jovi seem very much in love with their daughter and each other. Julia says Brandon’s mother is still a pain in the ass. But we start with Mike and Natalie. Natalie says their relationship is currently a six. Mike says it is a seven. Natalie is not wearing her rings. She says she isn’t wearing them because she didn’t want them to get stolen. Natalie is not explaining why they arrived separately. She refuses to answer the question. Mike puts his arm around Natalie when they show her crying all the way to Seattle. Mike feels like shit for refusing to marry Natalie. He apologizes to Natalie. He hates seeing that. Mike took off that night for hours the night before the wedding. Mike seems very inauthentic.

Tamara comes on to talk about Mike and Natalie’s relationship. She says that they fight a lot and she was not surprised that he called off the wedding. His mother said that he told her days before the wedding that he was going to send her back to Ukraine. Mike’s mom says Natalie is a jealous person. His mom clearly doesn’t like Natalie. She is throwing Mike under the bus. In never before scene footage we discover that Mike’s Mom tried to get Tamara to object to the wedding! She’s horrible and she still doesn’t support the marriage.
Yara & Jovi
Yara is sad that her mother hasn’t even met the baby yet. They hope they can get a visa for her soon. They play footage of the bachelor party. Yara cries at the scene where he goes upstairs with the stripper. The other guys all freak out. She has never seen that scene before. The guys are all cringing. This is bad. But great TV. Jovi’s mom comes on and is pissed. She says Jovi has been on a bachelor party for years. Then, we see Jovi doing a lie detector test. He failed the question, “Have you ever slept with a stripper?” Jovi’s mother is pissed. I hate that sex with strippers is a situation on this show.

Brandon & Julia
Yara and Julia seem to be very close friends throughout this process. Yara sticks up for Julia about Betty’s overbearing ways. All the guys say that it was ridiculous to move a wife in with your parents. Brandon says he was looking at apartments for them to live in but Julia didn’t lie any of the options. Of course Betty and Ron Skype in. Basically, Julia is a stripper. She prefers “go-go dancer.” Natalie thinks Julia’s dancing is beautiful. The Russian girls are all banding together. Apparently, she is still shoveling shit on the farm. Everyone hate Betty and Ron, naturally. All the Russian speaking girls are appalled by what Julia has to do on the farm.

This is television gold. Some of the girls seem to think that Julia is playing poor pitiful me. They seem to think she is the real villain in the story. I disagree. Betty is the problem. Next we talk about Betty wanting to put Julia on birth control. Everyone thinks that is ridiculous. Julia says she has a friend who was on birth control and cannot have babies now.
Rebecca & Zied
They start off discussing that Rebecca is 20 plus years older than Zied. She got some botox and lip injections for her fiftieth birthday. Also she got a tummy tuck and a liposuction. The women all argue the pros and cons of cosmetic surgery. Julia is against cosmetic surgery and everyone else thinks she is nuts because she is like 15. Zied says that Rebecca looks better and younger now. I don’t really see a big difference in Rebecca. They keep showing Hazel’s view and she is alone in her room looking really sad.

Tiffany’s daughter and husband seem to have come around to the marriage. They were trying to protect their mother. They are all onboard now. Next, they want to bring Amira on to the show. However, she will not be on the show at the same time as Andrew. She wants nothing to do with him YAY! Production tells Andrew that he has to leave the stage during Amira’s segment. He has a hissy fit and storms off. They will have to film separately.
Next week looks GREAT! I can’t wait!
Oh lord – how can we get to next Sunday ASAP?!!
Ok I always agree w you but I felt like Mike was authentic! He handled the situation wrong, clearly and quite frankly was done w her after the Ukraine. Not sure why he agreed to her coming to the US – she did not like who he was, how he lived, what he ate.. control control control… his mom was plain wrong… argh
Loved Yara and Julia friendship! Lol. Omg I felt for Yara after watching that bachelor party clip… Yara and Gwen were the real MVPs of the season!
Betty & Ron – Tarik’s question “but did she ask you to do this” was the BEST!!!
Thanks again for the recap!
I also think Mike was being authentic. He did mishandle the situation by just taking off, but her accusing him of cheating that night might have just pushed him over the edge. Natalie doesn’t like anything about him. I think she’s the inauthentic one. Next week when they have Mike’s female friend on should be very interesting.
Yes! Cannot wait to see that! I’m so over pouty lips, doe eyed Natalie… I feel that he doesn’t want to trash her so never says how bad it really is!
Is there a backstory to why Stephanie didn’t participate in the tell all?
I completely understand why Amira didn’t want Andrew there when she told her side but they could have talked to Andrew first then let him leave, storm off or leave the stage like a decent person.
Mike does not seem like a compassionate person. When Natalie is hurt he barely comforts her and rarely looks her in the eye. Must get it from his mom. I felt bad for Natalie when his mom was sharing her involvement in the cancelled wedding/sending her back. How do you move past that and have a relationship with your mother-In-law?
“Sofa Talk With Steph. Coming April 11th. Where the REAL truth will be told. Stay tuned!” the 52-year-old wrote via Instagram on March 31. She added the hashtags, “#sofatalkwithsteph #truth #90dayfiancé #staytuned #behindthescenes #realitytvisntrealbutthisis #iwasntinvitedtothetellall.”
She is suing TLC and claims that they only get paid a thousand dollars an episode and have to pay for their own trips. Also, she claims that she and the kid were already broken up when she went to Belize to film and it was fake. And she says that she had to pay for her own trip which was fine but that the crew wasn’t able to get on the the first flight that she had booked first class because all their camera stuff caused them to have to go in cattle class.
So she was not invited to the tell all.
She also says that she was not a sugar mama and just brought the kid thousands of dollars in gifts because she was bored and drunk shopping during the quarantine. So who made her beg for sex from both guys? Was that production too? Chile PUHLEASE.
It sounds like the desperate old whore didn’t like being portrayed as a desperate old whore.
She also said she got raped on that trip!! And now when it didn’t gain any traction… she simply doesn’t talk about it anymore..I mean ..I believe women when they say, unless they prove otherwise, but I have to say I’m super super skeptical of her. She was telling it to whomever would listen and all of a sudden she never mentions it again.
That’s right…I had forgotten about that part of this. When I was watching the scenes with her and Ryan in bed, after she first got to Belize, she was asking him why he didn’t want to have sex with her since they hadn’t had sex in months due to not being together due to Covid…so I remember being confused when all of a sudden she was screeching about him not wearing a condom but wasn’t screeching about being raped…it all makes sense now.
If it’s so fake and you were broken up and you had to pay your own way then why go Stephanie? Screen time? (Insert eye roll)
What is Sofa Talk? Is that a real thing or more of her delusional world?
I guess I did want to see her on the Tell All, haha
Verrrry interesting! Thanks for the tea, TT!
I could write way too much about this Tell All. I think Natalie has gotten by in life by playing cute, acting naive and schtuping like a rabbit but that is not enough to keep a guy. Like the old saying goes… for every beautiful woman in the world, there is a guy who is sick of schtuping her. It’s true here. Her wide eyed pretended innocence isn’t cutting it anymore as we saw her belittle Mike. They do not LIKE each other which is why this isn’t working. He’s cold and SHE’s inauthentic. If you aren’t going to answer questions, then don’t come to the tell all or at least SHAUN… question her in other ways. I cannot stand Natalie and never have. She’s Glenn Close – Fatal Attraction. Mike’s mom is horrible. What’s with the same hairstyles on the women up in Sequim? Brandon is a wuss. Natalie DOES complain a lot but she made the choice to stay so either STFU or figure out a way to leave and then leave. I did not like her going after Yara and Rebecca for their choices of nose jobs, fat sucking, etc. She’s a very insecure little girl. Yara and Jovi seem great, and I LOVE GWEN! Don’t care about Hazel and Tarik and Andrew is probably THE WORST we’ve ever seen on this show and I’ve watched it since Day 1 many moons ago… Rebecca and Zied seem happy but WOW, tough to hear he wanted her younger looking. What did he expect? He saw her when she flew there the first time, knew she was filtering herself to death. Again, either STFU or figure out a way to deal with it. Then again, who did rebecca think she was kidding with the filters when she flew there anyway? I mean it looked NOTHING like her. This show is the best thing on TV as far as I’m concerned. Stephanie and Sofa Talk? Dear God.
Yes Gigi!!! Spot on w Natalie!!!
Same w Hazel and Tarik but Tarik’s commentary about others was great. Andrew IS the worst and I too have watched from day 1! I truly believe he thinks his gaslighting isn’t detectable…. 🙄🤦🏻♀️
I actually thought Zied was getting confused w his words – thought she looked younger not necessarily that he wanted her to but I get that’s what he said. I still love him and his “so sexy” talk 😂😂😂.
Stephanie’s hair on sofa talk “Ellie May Clampett called and wants her hair style back”…. I’m sure no one will no what that means…
How do you know how she was schtuping like a rabbit?
My Wife and I cannot stand Natalie either. We think she is a narcissist and treats Mike very poorly. If he seems uncaring I think it is just because he is at his wits end.
Exactly!!! I fully believe he was at the point of being done and then her visa came through and reluctantly agreed for her to come!!!! Wrong decision on his part and she isn’t 100% at fault but I do NOT think she is remotely here for him.
She is the perpetual victim and knows how to play it.. especially for the audience. I was not a fan of her from the get go Mike seems like he can be an asshole but she Throws rocks and then hide your hand and I can’t stand that..Why he went through it and I will never know …because he knew exactly what he was getting with her right after his trip to Russia. I imagine it was talks to get back on the show to earn more money that kept him going forward.. Stupid
Oh yes! 100% agree w this!
Hmmm I think Andrew is tied with Mohammed for the worst on this show … but at least Mohammed was funny – sometimes
Add to that list Geoffrey! He was awful!
Mike and Natalie only did this for the money. That’s why they reappeared this season and and Shaun was surprised. Mike was $30,000 in debt and doing this season meant he could get some return on his investment. I’ve read more about this but it may be interpreted as a spoiler and I won’t say anymore. Just remember they just have to stay together what ……one year and the spouse gets to stay in America following divorce 🤨
I know I’m in the minority but I don’t think Mike’s mom is horrible at all…I blame Mike for telling his mom how horrible Natalie is and how he wants her to go back to Ukraine. And even though Mike and Natalie were on their “best” behavior when Mike’s mom was visiting, there was obviously strain in the relationship that anybody could pick up on. And, Natalie flat out told her during that dinner what all of their problems were. So, I agree with Mike’s mom. Mike and Natalie fight all the time. Natalie is always looking at Mike with such disdain and questions his drinking and how he eats meat. She literally told him that he has a low IQ and that she is smarter than he is. What mom on the planet would endorse this marriage?? (Just my opinion.)
I agree with you. Feeling that her son’s relationship is all wrong, full of bad vibes, and not healthy makes sense. What was bad, was her asking Mike’s neighbor friend Tamara to object at the ceremony. I’m glad she used her own judgment ( she said they love each other?) and didn’t do it. Also bad is that hairstyle on Trish. Yikes.
It is obvious that Natalie is repulsed by so many of Mike’s behaviors, choices. She is a health nut! She puts him down about every little thing. It’s mortifying watching her insult him and treat him like a toddler. Don’t eat butter, don’t drink a beer, don’t eat meat, you are sloppy, your house is small, etc. His mother can see how they do not click, Natalie is constantly criticizing her son and they fight a lot. How can Mike ever feel relaxed and joyful around Natalie. How can his mother?
They need long term, good quality couples therapy and I’m not sure even that would help.
Agree with all, Suse! I guess I felt that since Tamara didn’t object, and Mike and Natalie didn’t know that she was asked to, it wasn’t super applicable and could have not been divulged but then of course there would be less drama and that’s no fun…lol.
Lol. Yes!
Yes! Lol.
Love the recap and the comments!!!
I just couldn’t get into this season. I wanna see another season of Southern Charm or VPR. I’m TOTALLY over Mike and Natalie
Yara rocks!
Tara Has grown on me. I’m so happy she has Gwen for a MIL..When is super warm and authentic.
Natalie does that weird thing that she whips her head around to look at Mike’s… doesn’t say anything …stairs him down and pouts… and then finally looks away..It’s super weird and I saw her do it a ton of times. It Hass to hasta Has has has to be ….for the money. They are so mixed matched and Mike was over her before he left Russia. I cannot imagine what they offered him to come back…That would make all this shit worth it
