I have two recaps to do tonight and I’m not sure I am going to make it. I had a long night, slept half the day way, and had to cook for Banjo because we are almost out of dog food because I am too crazy to make it to the grocery store. I’m starting with the 90 Day Fiance The Other Way recap because I CANNOT IMAGINE how Sumit’s parents end up moving in with Jenny and Sumit. I’ll tackle MAFS later once I get Banjo settled. It’s a lot over here even on “my day off.” Also if you are trying to call me my phones have no battery life. And they don’t even ring right. It’s not ring, ring, ring, it’s an annoying long ring that I cannot answer because all the phones are dead. I used up all my battery time drunk dialing the drunk fiancée last night. :).
Alina & Steven
Y’all this may be the best show on TV right now and most of you are not watching. I am so excited for this recap. We start with Steven who is a total whack job who has quit his job to move to Turkey to marry a Russian girl so they can live in Russia. But, apparently, he is screwing a ton of other women! I saw on Twitter someone, maybe from Pillow Talk, wondering who in the hell wants to have sex with this guy? How does he get laid EVER let alone with so many people? Good job, Alina for actually drinking the wine. Steven says he has slept with at least five women and made out with over a hundred. And he slept with someone while they were “together.” She’s done.

Alina’s mother is coming to Turkey to check on her. Alina is still not speaking to Steven. Steven may be the creepiest person ever to be on this show. I hope her mama takes her home with her. Oh good, Steven is packing his bag. On the ride home, her mother doesn’t even know how bad it truly is and she wants her to come home. But, Alina is not ready for that. She’s not even getting to leave Russia after this. He will be moving there. Where is the upside for Alina? She is way to pretty not to have Russian boyfriends. Steven presents Alina with a gift. It’s some sort of a pussy purse to help her get over his love for pussy?
Evelin & Corey
Wow, Jenny from Peru is actually Jenny from Ecuador? Corey is driving an hour away to officially break up with her because he is technically married to Evelin? I’m so confused. Wow, Jenny is SUCH A BETTER CHOICE FOR COREY! Go be with her dude! Screw Evelin. Jenny seems to actually like Corey! Jenny says that he needs to tell Evelin everything. I’m not sure that is wise. She may kill him. Clearly, they both still have feelings for each other.

Look, I am not a fan of Corey by any stretch of my imagination. However, I think Evelin is AWFUL. He needs to dump her! But instead, he is going to suck up to her some more. Evelin continues to be the bitch she is. Corey begs her to accept her apology. But she breaks up with him. At least for now. She wants a divorce. YAY! Go back to Jenny! Later, Corey gets a text from Evelin breaking up with him and saying he is a liar and a POS. Evelin is done with him. Yay? Go back to Jenny! Now Corey is homeless in Ecuador. I don’t care what Evelin says. I need Corey to get with Jenny. Oh jeez. She cries and you fall for it?
Jenny & Sumit
OMG HERE WE GO! (Yes I know I say that a lot but this is so exciting!) Jenny and Sumit are going to counseling with his parents. I can’t believe his parents agreed to this. The parents are their usual grievances to the counselor first. Basically, that Jenny is older than his own mother. Jenny says that she does not want a relationship with anyone but Sumit. Sumit’s mother says that Jenny should just finish out the remainder of her life with her children. I summarize but that is the gist of it. Sumit’s parents think after Jenny dies he will be too old to have a wife. Then the mother sort of relents a little and says she wants to move in and teach her how to be an Indian wife. Oh good Lord, good God.

When Jenny finds out that Sumit’s parents want to move in with her so that his mother can teach her how to be an Indian wife, she is stupefied like we all are. Sumit is down with it. Jenny is speechless as we all are but eventually says “If that it what it takes…” FOR A A MONTH???? Do they want to be on TV this much? Jenny is pissed about his parents come to live with them.
Armando & Kenny
These two are off to try to get a marriage license. The get great news that Mexico is no longer discriminating against same sex marriages! YAY! So they are good to go. Unfortunately for me, someone already tried to post or email me a spoiler. Please do not do that. I too, have the Internet and can find any information I seek. I deliberately avoid spoilers. They are getting married on May 22nd! YAY!
Arilea & Biniyam
Bini doesn’t even go to the airport with Ari. I cannot believe she is going for a month! I love Bini but Ari is a controlling bitch who simply must wear the pants. This is something they should decide together. On the other hand both of her parents are in the medical field so I can see her going to the US for surgery, but why stay for a MONTH? She is staying too long. She gives him a wedding ring that says forever family on the inside. So, um YAY? I am so tired and still have another recap to get through. I should have started earlier but I was up late with Banjo. They have matching rinds that say, “Forever Family.” This is so sad. I can’t imagine Bini having to go through the fear of this.
I’m sorry. I will do MAFS tomorrow but I’m just all over the place right now worrying about Banjo and it gets dark so early. I need to sleep. Apologies.
Alina RUN and don’t look back!
I can’t believe Corey had me feeling bad for Evelyn who is truly an awful woman. Maybe they both deserve each other after all.
I don’t think summit will ever marry Jenny because of his families disapproval. Too bad as they seem to truly love each other.
I can’t get over Kenny’s snide comments about Armandos dad last episode. You cant help but see how much he loves his son he just needs time & that’s a completely fair. I am hoping he will be there for the wedding.
My heart breaks for Bini. Ari booked the ticket without discussing it first? And then booked a ticket for a month?!? Considering all her inappropriate comments & actions with her ex when he visited Bini has every reason to be concerned. Ari is a spoiled brat who does whatever she wants whenever she wants.
Please don’t come for me. These are my humble opinions.
When Bini was so upset and breaking down, my heart broke! So emotional and heartfelt.
I was truly surprised by Evelyn’s show of emotions. That was a first for me. I’ve been under the impression she was using him for the show and money.
Don’t come for you?! Your opinions were spot on!!!
Evelyn did post this long sob story on her Insta about how she doesn’t show emotion but that’s not my issue w her.. she was always plain mean to Corey. He majorly messed up by LYING to her re Jenny (whom I agree he should be with)…. She will make his life a living hell forever bc of this….
I’m going to start watching this season only because Tamara says that it’s really good. And she is always right!
You definitely should! And if you have access, go back and watch prior seasons of 90 Days to see the evolution of some of these relationships.
Thank you for the recap. I love hearing everyone else’s take on these couples in the comments but love TT’s recaps. They truly make me laugh and make sense of the mess I watch. I couldn’t have said anything better than the comments made already and the recap. Just wanted to say thanks for recapping and having a place to share.
Thanks for the recap! I always get concerned you are not going to recap this show because it shows up days later but then I realized that you were probably watching on the Friday rerun of it. Just to make sure you know that it airs originally on Sundays but you probably have a conflict then.
Anyway, Steven definitely picked the worst time to air this secret; jeez what was he thinking about that. And him daring to wag his finger at her for swallowing a mouthful of wine (at a wine tasting he had taken her!!!!) after the news he gave her. And while I was skeptical of him making out 100+ women/girls, I did remember how cute he was in those pictures when his hair was short. Even though he is strange as all get out I do give him props for speaking Russian unlike so many of these other Americans who move overseas and don’t learn the new country’s language before or even after they get there (ahem Corey, Jenni, Kenny etc etc etc). And not only that, but so many of these non-U.S. people speak English so fluently. But agree that Alina needs to run and never look back.
How many years has Corey been in Ecuador and he still needs to use a translator app?? And he said after that visit to Jenny he was to go off job hunting? How does he expect to get a job if he can’t speak Spanish in a Spanish speaking country? It reminded me of that nut Paul when he was living in Brazil and would not learn Portuguese and was confused over no one wanting to hire him. But Jenny did seem very nice and sweet and so much better than Evelin. However I expect that she can do a lot better than Corey.
I don’t blame Ari as much as others for wanting a surgery to be done in the U.S. on her child but do agree that she shouldn’t have made the decision without Bini onboard with it. And I also don’t think a month is too long either. It is a long and probably expensive trip plus you want to make sure the baby recovers without any complications or if there are complications, that they can be resolved in the U.S.. I had a surgery and 2 weeks after it, I started running a fever and had to be re-hospitalized to resolve the infection that they determined occurred during the surgery. Maybe she wants to get both Covid vaccines (I read earlier today that that it is very hard for females in Africa to get the vaccine). And I think also Tamara that you said in an earlier post that it looked like she had gotten some type of work done to her face while on this visit too. So for me, I don’t think a month is unreasonable.
Can you imagine your mother in law moving in with you to teach you how to be a good wife. Oh just gag. Jenni’s friend said that her mother in law moved in with her for 6 months after they were first wed. Just what everyone wants when you are a newlywed. I know the older I get the more set in my ways I become and I can’t imagine how I would react to some other old biddy who had been saying awful things about me for years to start being critical of my cleaning or cooking skills. Especially because I am not sure Sumit even works; does anyone know? If my man and I were both just living off of my social security and home all the time, I would certainly expect him to be doing half the chores but I expect his mother won’t see it like that. Anyway, can’t wait to see how it shakes out.
Thanks again for the recap! From one landline user to another…
They’ve talked about Sumit’s job throughout the whole time he’s been on TLC. He does customer service over the phone. He used to be in a call center. During the pandemic I think he’s been working from home.
I’ve been rooting for Jenny & Summit but I don’t know if they’ll survive this. Hopefully the parents leave after a few days but what if they don’t?
Run Alina you’re too young to deal with this kids drama.
Steven reminds me of Paul and Ed. At first seem to be sincere albeit wacky then their true self comes out. Hoping Alina will run!
I see a different perspective on Jenny. She is the cause of all the strife between Sumit and his parents. They will never accept her and he won’t marry her. Her remaining is purely selfish.
