I vote to leave her alone. She has enough problems.

To me, above all else, I think of her minor children. Pre-teens and teens can be difficult, tumultuous years, under the BEST of circumstances. When the kids have a mom who is focused on herself, then involved in a risky, volatile situation, the kids are the true losers.

I vote to leave her alone and to let kindness and sanity rule. Danielle is an object of pity for me -- not a punchline. JMO.

[FarahYoussef77]

Anyone watching the show? Very interesting tonight. I wasn't aware of that law about taking on your spouses credit issues. Anyone have any interesting thoughts about tonight! Great show - we are getting close to the nuptials and that's very exciting!

[Jenica]

Thanks for pointing this out..,this is one thing I'm always reading about his lack of PDA...I do believe this is a fake marriage however being married to a middle eastern it's something that I had to get used too..,especially when I visited his home in Jordan...talk about a culture shock.,.but super thankful my in laws totally get me

Same here, Jenica. I am Arab( Tunisian actually lol) but I was born and raised in NYC. My husband is from Morocco and PDA is a strict no no. What were your thoughts on Mohamed tonight? Do you think he's getting cold feet? Perhaps we've all judged him wrong. Regardless of it starting "allegedly" as a fake marriage, maybe he did develop feelings? Thoughts on this?

I definitely feel for her children.  They don't deserve any of this.   Danielle --- eh, not so much.  The past 2 episodes, I caught glimpses of fakeness, her playing damsel in distress, acting like an overgrown child.  While I don't doubt there's some deficiencies there, I feel she's playing Mo just like she plays probably everyone in her life. Mo is going to earn this green card.

FarahYoussef77, find talk about last nights episode here (each week there is a new episode thread started for that episode).  Small talk, here. This thread is for media/social media links and spoilers only, not really a catch all topic zone.

[lgprimes]

Now that I have heard Dani's REAL voice, I think I get it.   SHE'S THE SCAMMER! Rumor has it she got paid a good sum of money to get married to Mo so that he can get a green card. And that money has been spent long ago, so actually she could give two craps if he marries her or not. All of the crying and acting mentally slow are just a cover so if the INS catches on she can be the play the part of the poor duped victim  who was so in love, so that she doesn't go to jail.  Poor Mo. His family apparently spent all that money to get him over here and now he is stuck with this mess. In all likelihood she won't have enough money to truly sponsor him, and he will get sent back with no green card and out thousands of dollars. Winner - Dani!

Here's an article that helps explain some people's motivation for marrying such losers.

I noticed Daya made the comment last night that it was nice the apartment had a dishwasher and a dryer. She said hardly anyone had them back home.

I think we some times forget how fortunate we are in this country. Even our poorest live better than much of the rest of the world.

Sorry if this has been posted before -- nice try for someone trying to petition TLC giving the Jbalis their own show:

It's obvious Dani nor anyone in her immediate family wrote that piece. And no, I don't want to see a show with them anymore.

Dishwashers and dryers aren't common in many places, such as Europe. It doesn't indicate much of anything in Daya's case; it's cultural. That article is strange, since it doesn't say which indicators they're using. The example they give of Russia makes me think of John Steinbeck's quote about America being a country of temporarily embarrassed millionaires. Much of that survey has to do with self-perception, and I could see where American optimism would push America's bottom ten in front of Russia's top ten--although having lived in both places, I can assure you that the top ten percent in Russia is doing much better than America's bottom ten. The world is much larger than America and American culture, and plenty of people are living just fine outside of its borders.

 

I would watch a Dani and Mo show, cringing the whole way through. I don't think she's smart, but she's a schemer/scammer for sure.

[escapetoreality]

Okay so on Mohamed's FB page where he is a self-proclaimed "Movie Character" yesterday's status update was "traveling to New York." Then some commenters were saying "have fun Danielle and Mohamed" and like that.  First of all it did not say WE are traveling to New York so I'm not so sure it is a joint trip (unless maybe that's where TLC is and they are due to collect their checks). Second they are in mid-eviction with a move-out date of December 10th -- not the optimal time for a vacation.  Any idea what's going on?   Whoever may be in NYC keep your eyes peeled ....  

[Adeejay]

Given how chasten TLC was after the Honey Boo Boo fiasco, I think it highly unlikely they would give these grifters a show.   

[toodles]

A perfect ending for this British granny, victim of the bezness!  Her "husband" was denied a visa after the marriage, now he's back in Tunisia syphoning her income and assets!  See for yourselves:

Here is another "couple" hoping to be on the dole in the UK:

This idiot did it twice:

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/493844/Tunisian-toyboy-cost-woman-18-000

 

They all one some things in common in Danielle:  Unattractive much older women with younger men, the younger men being underemployed if employed at all, and the older women, it turns out, not financially stable.

Lord have mercy

[charmed1]

Wow. Now I completely understand why Mo categorized Danielle as "acceptable."

[poeticlicensed]

^^Ack! 70 pounds is 110 dollars. That's less than $450/month. I seriously don't get it. Is the green card (or whatever it is in the UK) so prized that a 30 year old guy would hook up with an obese granny with 10 kids living on a meager disability allowance?

[Toaster Strudel]

I'd sooner watch Cassia and that loser Jason than Danielle and Mohamed because at least there is a bit of humor to be found, and they are mentally adults.  Danielle is, in my opinion, a despicable sociopath and I am looking forward to never seeing her face again after this show.  She should be left the same way she was found, making the usual bad decisions in privacy.  Mo ditching her is a certainty like tomorrow's sun rise. Who wants to see this tragedy befalling such a weak, diseased mind?  It's not like she'll develop any insight or improve herself from the experience.

[cooksdelight]

There were some questions regarding the time Jason spends online and Cassia's displeasure, but I thought it would be better addressed here.

Jason has about 450-500 auctions going at once, from what I have seen. That is a shitload of paperwork, phone messages that you have bids, and things to package and have the postal carrier pick up. We've not seen a lot of how he actually runs his business from home yet on the show, probably because we'd be bored and Cassia is most likley helping him by now.

I cannot manage more than 50-100 at one time, due to the fact I don't have any help and I'd probably lose my mind. But, the fact he sells small potatoes and isn't making a lot of money in the process tells me he's got a long way to go if he plans on making a decent living to support a wife and possible children. This is just my personal perspective from selling on eBay and knowing what is involved.

If I weren't clearing $100 per item, I'd not bother. I'd open a stall at a local flea market or swap meet.

Then an hour later he posts sitting at a bar. "Fish tacos and house omlet"  Meals for 2?

[lilacgirl]

I think what shocked me the most last night was Dani & Mo's time on the show. Dani's voice once the door was shut & Mo telling someone back home that he did NOT want to come to America.

So, maybe some one does have a little background on their relationship.

 

I assumed TLC would have kept both on the cutting floor when they did their editing.

I believe "THEY" are going to NY for taping.  There was a tweet made by Jason "Just landed and gosh my arms are tired."

[sandwoman]

Interesting bonus scene of some 'friend' telling Danielle about her own experience marrying and Egyptian man. No one can say that she wasn't cautioned that her road might be difficult. Oy.

 

http://www.tlc.com/tv-shows/90-day-fiance/videos/i-give-it-three-months.htm

[Toaster Strudel]

I noticed Jason's auctions photographs have Cassia's hands in them.

 

He may have 450-500 listings, but I added last month's sales to a paltry $500 for roughly 20 sales (IIRC), and that's not including what he paid for that crap.  It's probably negligible, though.  He can barely keep himself in sliced bread and baloney.

[cooksdelight]

Probably the after-show reunion type thing to let everyone know where people are at now.

[Persnickety1]

Hmmm.  Looks like in his latest picture(s) he's eating a meal with someone.  Just very vague about who is might be.  One would assume if it were Dani, she would be tagged in the picture or at least comment on it.

 

Curious.  Maybe they just want to keep people guessing to build up ratings for the reunion/after show?

They are all going to/in NY.  Brett just posted a picture of Daya and they are clearly in NY.

If Dani were with him, she would have been right next to him in the picture, kissing him and with her sausage fingers holding his face.

If it's true that Dani is putting on an act, then she missed her calling, because she's one of the best actresses I've ever seen. I know it's hard to get a real true handle on everything because TLC wants us to see these stories in a certain light and they use selective editing to make that happen, but I have a hard time believing that Dani is very different from the way she appears.

[lilacgirl]

Who else could have taken it?

 

Dani could have fixed her settings and blocked all tagging of her name.  Would she think of that? Who knows.

[escapetoreality]

I think also they would not be able to say they are together as they are still to maintain suspense. Wonder how life in Norwalk will look to Mo once he's been to New York? Ditto Cassia.

[Persnickety1]

I've seen people ask the wait staff or other nearby diners to take a picture of themselves at the table.  People for the most part aren't shy when they feel they need a picture.  

 

Neither here nor there, though.  I think it's obvious he has someone at the table dining with him, presumably Dani, but I just wonder why, if his dining companion is Dani, she didn't also post the picture to her page or comment on his photo of their meal.  Particularly when the a couple of the other participating couples are posting up pictures of them together and arriving in NYC.  

 

I just find it curious.  But then everything involving them is somewhat curious.

[Toaster Strudel]

Somebody he'd rather not look at... LOL.

 

Hey I even looked at the reflections on the window and then the glasses but no luck!

[FarahYoussef77]

According to Mo's fanpage, he's in NY right now? Is this true or does anyone have any info on this? I felt very bad for her daughters last night, and for everyone's sake I'm happy to hear they went though will the wedding - very last minute yikes !

[FarahYoussef77]

As for her being a good actress TOTALLY agree on you there. I 100% believe that she has true and deep feelings for him. What I can say ( from experience with MANY fake or "pre-arranged" marriages) is that often times, even if the marriage is fake or done for monetary gain, the bride ( or groom) in this case dani, do develop feelings for the other. It's actually more common with vulnerable women similar to her, and they end up getting heartbroken ( terrible ). I absolutely believe she is 100 percent sincere, and that Mo very well may have led her on ( probably did) in the romantic dept. However, I think her begging for his answer and acting desperate was very sad and I feel for her, as her was so cold and keeping her in suspense on the wedding day of all days. Very cruel, whether it is a green card marriage or not.

[merylinkid]

He so looks like he just wants to eat in piece.   Preferably without either himself or his food being grabbed by the sausage fingers.

[lisageezlouise]

I'm in NJ right across the river from NYC. What I wouldn't give to have a 90 Day Fiancé sighting. Especially Dani and Mo. So close yet so far!

[EyeofHorus]

If Dani were with him, she would have been right next to him in the picture, kissing him and with her sausage fingers holding his face.

Yep you're 100% correct about that. I'd think she would take any opportunity to show off that she's still with "her man!"

[merylinkid]

I retract my earlier comment about what his expression is saying.   On further reflection that is "Oh my god, even sitting across the table she finds a way to touch me.   Stop with the footsies already."

[DangerousMinds]

He so looks like he just wants to eat in piece.   Preferably without either himself or his food being grabbed by the sausage fingers.

Then he shouldn't have asked Danielle to marry him, IMHO.

[Lola16]

Any idea where the cast is in NYC?  I'll be in the city this week for work... would love to catch a glimpse in person.

[cooksdelight]

Let's try to stay on topic of the show, and not personally attacking other posters. You have an opinion about the show....fine. You have a negative opinion about another member who posts here....take it to PM or keep it to yourself. Thanks.

[deltaburkefan]

Although the article does a poor job making the point it's still true the average American lives better than much of the rest of the world. I think it's obvious that is a main factor in several of these relationships.

In some ways, but not the way that article presented it! And there is still definitely the perception of American as the land of milk and honey, and then of course these people move to the US and end up in Geriatic Gator Land (Jason and Cassia) or that scary dive bar (Dani and Mo).
