If-no make that WHEN-I fill my 90 Day Bingo Card, what will my prize be?

I think Ash said something when he gave her the roses that he specifically chose that color because he knew she liked black roses and she was all, "You remembered!" This got to me to researching the availability of black roses online (I'm bored waiting for tonight's show) and found this quote: "Anyway, black roses are not always associated with negative events and emotions, such as death, revenge, evil, mystery and the like. They could also mean a major positive change (death of something old) or be the symbol of deep hope and optimism, true romance, everlasting love or simply your signature flower." This mumbo jumbo sounds like something Ash would say!

Damn!

I figured he chose black because Avery is very “edgy.” The fact that he has a running tab at the florist was what rubbed ME the wrong way.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!! what’s my prize?

Or as she said so eloquently, "knocked up"

Because she's just an old-fashioned romantic! But I'm confused about the solitaire ring she's been wearing the whole time. I thought that was her engagement ring and SJB went shopping for her wedding ring since the HUGE ring he slipped on her sausage finger looked like a wedding band to me.

The "friend" Laura was talking to was in Guayaquil which was very hard hit by the virus. This was in the NYT about a month ago: "There has been a surge of infections in the province that includes Ecuador’s business capital, Guayaquil, where residents are thought to have brought the virus home after visiting Spain. In Guayaquil, fatalities during the first two weeks of April were eight times higher than usual, the data indicates — a far greater rise than that of New York City, where fatalities were four times higher in recent weeks. Within weeks of the first case being identified in Guayaquil, hospitals were overflowing and burial systems collapsed under overwhelming demand, leaving dead bodies to pile in the streets and pushing families to bury loved ones in coffins made of cardboard."

"Fatima" Lisa Hamme is already hawking cameos for $ 75. Usman gets $ 60. Colt only gets $ 40...

I'm drawing a blank. Besides Deaven, which Americans said they were models? I can only think of the foreign fiancees who claimed to be models (like Juliana), sent stock photos of models (like The Williams) or wanted to become models like Paola, Fernanda and Anfisa.

I'm still convinced that Usman contacted her and probably others online ("hey, pretty lady") and convinced her that he was a big time rapper in Nigeria who wanted to come to America. In order to do so, he wanted to marry her because I read somewhere earlier that HE was the one who pushed for the marriage. Meanwhile, Lisa got the idea that applying for this show would be a great way of getting a trip to Nigeria, getting married there and being on TV knowing that Sharp loves preposterous pairings, the more drama the better. Since Angela got a lot of airtime, Lisa figures if she's even more outrageous she'll be a shoo-in for another season, possible guest appearances and endorsements and various spin-offs.

But most of the women have had jobs that weren't kept secret. Maybe "model" is TLC's code word for "unemployed."

She made it sound like her "hot" Prime Minister personally sent her the funds. Since the Self-Quarantined episodes were filmed quite recently, I believe she's still in Ecuador. The Sharp paycheck for her appearance must go much farther there. But I wonder if she can keep the relief money if she doesn't use it to return to Canada.

Like Darcey's "Mommy-Needs-a-Miracle" mask?

I remember Stephanie arriving in Australia while Erika was waiting at the bottom of the escalator. She was wearing the exact same asymmetrical style wrap minidress in a different print. I recall thinking it must have barely covered her ass on the airline seat. Nasty! And yes, what happened to all those masks, hand sanitizer and medications she packed? We only saw her masked ONCE, when she was boarding the flight to Australia. Now we saw her asking for a mask at check in for the return flight, but did she WEAR it?

He told his mother Rose wanted two more children which was a deal breaker for him but he made it sound like it came as a bombshell DURING THE TRIP when in reality Rose had been saying that all along. Oops, that conversation happens in the next episode.

I’ve a seen Darcey in her sparkly brown Tell All dress at least three times!

OMG! I'm an influencer! (Soshully distant, of course)

Yes, I agree. I was being facetious about it being a decision that she thought up on her own. It was totally underwritten and orchestrated by production. But I agree with another poster that Geoffrey was probably expecting the camera crew to show up to interview him and Mary and didn't know that Varya was following in the next van.

will there be cold shoulder style options? Asking for a friend

Or communicate through a translation device indefinitely. but I guess if the idea is to bring your fiancé to live and work in the United States, it makes sense for the foreigner to learn to speak English.

Just how contrived is this whole Geoffrey/Varya/Mary threesome! Before he went to Russia, Mary desperately wondered why she wasn’t good enough for him. He called Mary when he stomped away after getting the third degree from Varya’s friends. Then he immediately finds rebound love right in his own backyard after he gets home from having his heart broken by Varya? Mary was right under his nose the whole time? Since Ed and Stephanie are both returning home without the “love of their life” their stories are over, making the 90 Day relationship success rate this season pretty low. Production had to do something to keep other storylines going. Cue Varya to decide to travel to the US to surprise Geoffrey and reconsider his proposal. All totally fake. The only thing that is real about Geoffrey is his rap sheet.

You’re right. I was thinking Ed had flown in internationally and still had to exit through Customs, but he probably had already completed that step at another airport then flew on to San Diego.

I was just coming here to say the same thing about Mama’s height. I was surprised she was allowed to wait for him at the baggage claim. Wasn’t Teddy barking at the airport adorable? Also, I had to laugh at Lisa’s ridiculous assertion that if Usman waited until the day before the wedding to propose people would think she was “knocked up” (yeah, right) or he “just wanted a green card.” (More likely) Her ring looked like the diameter of a quarter! Stephanie’s dress barely covered her hoo-hah. Finally, why was JESSE doing the “Previously on” voiceover?

Yes, I get a 50s "Marilyn Monroe" vibe. Not overweight, just soft, pale and untoned. I think another of her how-to videos was something about pooping. Since the pandemic began, she's come out with a "how to survive" video.
