greekmom August 29, 2021 Share August 29, 2021 Quote Alina, 20, (Russia) and Steven, 25, (Salt Lake City, UT). Steven is a dedicated Mormon from Salt Lake City, Utah. Alina lives in Russia. They're one of the new couples this season. And they met on a language app a year before they were cast on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic shut down borders and threw a wrench in their plans to meet IRL. Now, they plan to meet in Turkey, where some of Steven's long-kept secrets might threaten their happiness and future 1 1 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama August 29, 2021 Share August 29, 2021 (edited) I can't wait to find out the secrets. I bet it won't be much of a secret, but if it's juicy we won't find out for weeks. Edited August 29, 2021 by CrazyInAlabama 4 Link to comment

Kath94 August 31, 2021 Share August 31, 2021 So, they've never met in person but plan to live together in a country that neither has ever been to. Makes perfect sense to me. I understand why they're on "TOW" because the K1 requires that they have met in person within the last year, unless their culture or religion forbids it. SWaV is definitely on the spectrum. 3 1 Link to comment

CrazyInAlabama September 1, 2021 Share September 1, 2021 I think SWaV said they'll get married in Turkey, and he can get a visa to Russia, and wait out the U.S. visa there. I may have screwed that up though. Link to comment

I may have screwed that up though. They're young, they're in love. There is absolutely NO reason they couldn't wait out the pandemic. If they're meant to be together, they'll be fine. Instead, they're forcing it. But then they wouldn't be on teevee. 8 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama September 13, 2021 Share September 13, 2021 So they're going to meet and marry in Turkey, get a spouse Visa to Russia, and I don't know if they intend to stay in Russia, or get a spouse visa to the U.S. They can't be financing all of this off of a pest control technician's salary, and TLC money. 3 Link to comment
Mrs. Landingham September 14, 2021 Share September 14, 2021 She seems book smart and well-spoken but also immature with her catfishing scheme. He’s a hypocritical dingus (admitted to having sex with more than one woman whilst still preachin’ the word about the evils of pre-marital jiggy jiggy). I might fast forward through their scenes but not until I see the outcome of the catfishing set up, of course. 6 Link to comment
gingerella September 26, 2021 Share September 26, 2021 (edited) She has the maturity of a 14 year old girl. And he has the intelligence of a mildly intellectually-challenged 15 year old boy. Together it's a match made in hell. Plus, he is hideous looking. And don't get me started on people who do stupid fucking things and call themselves 'wacky' and 'spontaneous'. Yeah, NO. Hitching a lift with your young girfriend who's in a very short dress, in a country you've been in for a hot minute, great idea Steve-O. Edited September 26, 2021 by gingerella 9 Link to comment
CrazyInAlabama September 26, 2021 Share September 26, 2021 (edited) I'm desperately hoping that the hitchhiking scene was someone from the production team, and not some random guy. I'm really sure that it was staged. I'm really hoping Alina realizes she's making a huge mistake, and doesn't marry Ste-Van. Edited September 26, 2021 by CrazyInAlabama 1 1 4 Link to comment

Also agree that there's nothing "wacky" and 'charming' about jumping in a pool for no reason other than to show how spontaneous you are. It just makes you LESS spontaneous. 5 Link to comment

I've always thought: If someone has to flaunt/brag/constantly talk about being (insert anything in here: edgy, cool, klassy (with a K on purpose), drunk, rich, funny, strong and empowered (I'm looking at you, you fake plastic surgery twins) you get the point), they are decidedly NOT that. 4 9 Link to comment
greekmom October 1, 2021 Author Share October 1, 2021 re: Hitching scene. I don't think that was real. Remember that SteVen is mike'd up, Alana is mike'd up and there is a camera man with them. So they all got into the guy's car? And when the driver spoke, was he mike'd as well? Because I don't think Steven's mike would have picked up much. My guess he was an uber driver they hired for the scene. Or a producer pretending to be just a regular joe that was stopped to pick up these "crazy kids" hitching. Also wondering on the use of Turkey and if it was cheaper and coordinated with filming of Darcy and Stacey in Turkey. 3 6 Link to comment
gingerella October 3, 2021 Share October 3, 2021 (edited) watched the preview last night and all I can say is, Alina has the maturity of a 14 year old with her "I'm ready to marry you today" bullshit and her hiring her BFF to try to catfish Steven online. Which BTW, when the fuck is girlfriend going to reach out to him and WHY didn't they do this recon BEFORE Alina few to Turkey?!? Jesus H Christ, what maroons. As for Steven, dude is seriously NO prize, like not at all. I don't get the attraction because they almost look like siblings in a creepy way, and Steven is an utter idiot on all fronts. About the only thing he's said/done that made any sense is that he'd not yet ready to marry Alina. Other than that, he's dumber than a box of rocks.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my dim view of Alina. All those conditions she was laying out for him in last night's episode seemed like the classic abuser/controller tactics: cut off all contact with your friends, shut down your social-media accounts--they felt to me like standard isolation techniques. What twenty-year-old academic is so intent on getting married to a guy she's spent two whole weeks with??? And a guy who has no accomplishments of his own to point to, except for quitting his job as an exterminator to go sweep her off her feet in a foreign country. I think she's fully as creepy as he is. Which just reinforces that old saying about water seeking its own level. All these couples eventually reveal themselves to be people who richly deserve each other. 7 Link to comment

treeofdreams October 4, 2021 Share October 4, 2021 I missed the beginning seasons of the show, so this has probably already been covered, but is Alina in this so she can move to the United States? A lot of Russian women want to marry American men so they can move here. Link to comment

You would not be surprised at what sort of idiot would marry someone with whom she has spent two weeks total. She is insecure and jealous, plus valid trust issues. He is not going to get rid of his friends or social media accounts. He probably is not going to change his religion either. She has time to realize that he has almost nothing to offer her, is untruthful, behaves worse than a boor. Edited October 4, 2021 by Frozendiva Autocorrect error 6 Link to comment
gingerella October 4, 2021 Share October 4, 2021 (edited) These two are a slightly more functional version of Pol and Kriny. Slightly...Because nothing says "You're life partner material' and "I'm ready for marriage" like asking your BFF to try to catfish your boyfriend, who is dumber than a box of rocks. When he gave his whole spiel about how to hitchhike,maybe next time someone might just aim for him. I mean, can you even imagine this asshole jumping in front of your car and waving his stupid gangly arms around and demanding a ride? Fuck.That.Shit.
