My boyfriend raised his child on his own and is a complete germaphobe.  It can happen.

Frauded is ... yeah.  She's a lot.  She's messy and likes to have unpopular opinions for the sake of having unpopular opinions.  Don't come at her with logic or facts, because she's here for neither.  I wish a lot more of the cast would block her and be done with her.  But too many of them think she's someone to help with their 4.5 minute of "fame".   Refreshing to see it didn't take very long for Armando to see right thru her.  

[Christina]

Frauded has become all about herself. She is an attorney with the U.S. Attorney General's Office who would not post things she couldn't confirm, which helped make her site trustworthy. On top of that, she refused to post the revenge porn, fake text messages, unconfirmable rumors, disputes between cast, etc., which also make her trustworthy. She originally was partnered with a woman who was arrested for embezzlement from her father's business, and Katrina cut ties from her, refused to shit talk her or say why they separated, and when other people found out, thought her behavior regarding it was honorable. 

She got attention very quickly and it went to her head. She created a Patreon and got a lot of subscribers, started a podcast and got a lot of subscribers. She had other people trying to join her, cast and viewers sending her spoilers because they respected her, received offers of payment to write articles for websites and interview requests regarding her multiple sclerosis and sobriety journey, and now seems to turn everything about herself somehow. She appears to have the same issue as the cast when it comes to getting a lot of attention for doing nothing and now will do anything to keep it.

I saw part of the Armando/Kenny/Katrina feud and as much as she bugs me lately, agree with her that the response to her opinion did not make Armando or Kenny look good. She is hardly the only person who felt the family was over the top; it was said about Kenny's goodbye to his kids, too.

I think the problem is that frauded based her opinion on a rumor that they did not actually move away (but just went to film in another town). She said herself she hasn't been able to confirm this, which goes against her own ethic of not spreading rumours  she can't confirm. That was what her popularity originally was based on. Additionally a lot of people were saying it's a cultural thing which she completely overlooks and I kind of agree that solely basing your opinion on your own culture and circumstances is not helpful.

She seems to be doing that more often - posting things she cannot confirm. As you said, not doing so is was what made her popular in the first place. Now that everyone is onboard the 90DF train, everyone is wanting a piece of the puzzle for their own social media clout and she is trying to stay on top by posting rumors. 

She has now posted that she, Kenny and Armando have made up and put it behind them. 

[gingerella]

Kenny is a selfish asshole. Every damn thing has to be his way or else it’s somehow unfair to him and he’s questioning Armando. He has forced Armando to tell his family about their engagement immediately, when he knows they are still struggling with Armando being gay and out with a boyfriend. He tried to force Armando to hold hands in public when those actions could get them beat up or worse. He is a shitty, self centered asshat. Armando deserves better, but sadly he doesn’t know that because it seems like Kenny is is first boyfriend.

I cannot say that I'm a huge Kenny fan, but I see production in the majority of the "Kenny pushing Armando to do things" storyline. His comment about feeling negative energy from Armando's dad, or whatever that phrase was, seemed like all Kenny to me, but telling everyone they were engaged, asking to hold hands, inviting themselves to stay with his parents, etc., has Sharp written all over it. Their social media behaviors seem to support my theory to me.

[CrazyInAlabama]

My guess is Kenny speaks Spanish very well, and almost everything is producer shenanigans for the story line.   

I wish Kenny and Armando would move to Puerto Vallarta, or some other cosmopolitan city.    But I wouldn't be surprised if the apartment they're in is only for the show, to keep their privacy.

Somebody in one of the FB groups posted this picture.  I'm not sure if it's coming up in an episode or if it was something Armando/Kenny posted on their own.

I read those 3 slides but don't really understand. Was she ramming his car then lost control?

I guess so;  when I first heard that she was killed in a car crash after they separated, I wondered if it was suicide by car accident.   Whatever it is, it is sad.

details about the accident, sorry I'm so late to post but I was researching something else and came upon this article from a week ago: https://screenrant.com/90-day-fiance-armando-wife-died-car-crash/

Fun facts from Sharp Production regarding the 10/31 episode

 

Also, Armando posted a photo of an outfit he made for Hannah for Dia Los Dios and people are really complimenting his craftmanship. He posted a video to his Instagram or Twitter of him making it, step by step, but I don't have it to post here.

What I can’t stand is Kenny weeping in every scene.  He reminds me of the plyg wife “Sobbin” Robin on Sister Wives.  It’s virtually a count down when she has a scene to see how long it takes for her to cry.  I have to walk out of the room.

Well, at least Kenny doesn't wipe his eyes and then look at his fingers to see if he's smeared his mascara.  Every. Time.  Like ALL the sisterwives (at least those who cry) do.

It's nice to see age appropriate parties for kids. They always seem to be these huge parties for adults when it comes to reality couples.

I thought of a great present for Kenny when they get married.  His own case of Kleenex.

90F Rachel (Rachel and Jon) did this all the time! Dabbing the tears from her eyes with her fingers, and then examining them while she continued to talk to the camera. And that girl cried a lot.

I just re-watched the first time we met Kenny and Armando. I had forgotten that Kenny’s job in FL is as a “property manager”. Later in the season he tearfully complains that unless they are allowed to marry he can’t get a permit to work. My question is what on earth did he expect to hired to do there without knowing Spanish, especially in such a remote area?

Are you familiar with the Joey Tribiani school of "stinky farts" acting?  Kenny may have attended.

Many speculate ignorance of Spanish is a storyline dictated by production to create drama for a fairly placid couple.

Even if he’s actually fluent, I still don’t see what kind of work he’s going to find in that little village.

Yeah if most landlords around there have just a few properties they may not need property managers.  Maybe he could help manage the hotel where they got engaged. 

[magemaud]

Or he could be the receptionist for Armando’s pet grooming salon, but he probably wouldn’t need a work permit for that 

[AZChristian]

The town where they live is about 40 minutes away from Rosarito - a much larger place (70,000), with a population that's probably about 25% expat Americans.  With that ratio, there might be some property management to be done on behalf of non-Spanish-speaking folks.  But if he's going to be a property manager (liaison between Americans and local workmen), he'd need to speak Spanish. 

The only thing I think he could do would be to drive Americans around on little golf carts to try to sell them houses or condos in gated communities where they'd be surrounded by other Americans.  But then he'd need someone who speaks Spanish to do the actual business end of the deal.  We all see how well he'd work with banks, title companies, etc.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Since Rosarita, (home of Meghan Markle's icky father), and other communities are near the coast, then there are apparently even more requirements to own property there for foreigners.    I'm betting that Kenny the Crier knows a ton of Spanish, he seems to realize a lot before Armando translates for him, and for the cameras.   I bet Kenny's lack of Spanish fluency is a scam, and it's a way for the show to have conversations summarized, and translated for the viewers.     I'm ticked, because I saw the 30 minute preview advertised, forgot to turn it on until halfway through, and missed the Kenny/Armando segment.

I watched the preview and they weren’t on it.  It was Yazan/Brit, Ari/Bini, and Deavan/Jihoon.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Thanks!   So much for the preview that showed them first.   I've been fooled again.   (HOwever, I know I can safely skip the first 30 minutes of Sunday's season finale, because I'm sick of seeing D & J's third wedding, Ari/Bini's arguing, and Yaz/and Brit the naked internet person).    I'm just hoping that they'll get permission to marry.

It's really hard for me to believe that an adult living in Florida and working in property management would not speak ANY Spanish.  He would have had to show properties to prospective clients (many of whom are likely from Cuba and Puerto Rico and other Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands).  He'd also possibly have to oversee the work of employees who have emigrated from those areas.

I live in Arizona.  It's hard NOT to pick up a lot of Spanish words on a day-to-day basis.  I suspect the same would be true of Florida.

They actually fool you even more ... the Friday night preview (which is really only about 20 minutes of 90DF) doesn't actually correspond to the first 20-ish minutes of the Sunday night show.  I only realized that when I watched the Sunday night show live (so I could do the chat, of course) and there were extra scenes and details that weren't in the Friday night preview.  They're sneaky...

[Christina]

Kenny and Armando both have Master's Degrees in architecture and that was Kenny's primary job until he retired or was laid off a few years back. Armando's pet business with his sister was a side job that he hopes to make larger in the town where he now lives, but worked in a position for an architecture business, just not quite as an architect, I think. It got confusing to follow and it was discussed months ago, maybe years. How long has this season been?

Armando and Hannah had a spa day, where Hannah did his makeup. Short video.

Armando posted several behind the scenes photos of the crew.

I'm not certain what is going on with this, but people on Reddit are saying the DM she sent Kenny was much ruder than she posted. As you can see, Kenny didn't like it. His full post wasn't posted, this is all there is.
