90 Day Fiance: Elise Meets Josh in Australia
Elise Benson packs for her trip to Australia to meet her online boyfriend Josh Lawson on 90 Day Fiance. The late season couple look great on paper. But cracks are already appearing. It seems Josh text Elise about an incident on his job as a yacht broker. He took a yacht on an unauthorized joyride and crashed it. Elise Benson is still going to follow through with the trip. In spite of Josh throwing red flags at every turn.
We get a glimpse of Josh Lawson and his roommate cutting up like 40 something frat boys. And Josh reveals that he really wasn’t living with his parents. He was living with his best gal pal Nat. He admits he left that part out when speaking with Elise Benson. She packs bikini bottoms rating them on the likelihood of getting laid. Josh’s friend and roommate Chris placed a painting of himself above the bed where Josh and Elise will sleep among other things.
Elise Benson confides Josh’s man child antics to her closest friend on 90 Day Fiance. Ultimately her friend has concerns. Elise believes he’s the one. After some glitches with her tourist visa she arrives down under. To find Josh and Chris waiting in sport coats while she’s in a sports bra and leggings. They want to whisk her to a bar to watch a night of racing. Elise and Josh make out while Chris watches. They convince her to change at the airport to go out. She agrees, dons a yellow dress and goes commando.
90 Day Fiance: Forrest Stands up for Sheena
Forrest and Sheena find themselves under attack on Before The 90 Days. Once they told Forrest’s mom Molly of their engagement, she went on the attack. She calls Forrest stupid for being manipulated by Sheena. And tells him he’s more full of ish than a Christmas goose. Sheena encourages Molly to let Forrest make his own decisions. And that only enrages Molly further. She even suggests Forrest would stay with Sheena if she “diddled” someone else.
Forrest has had enough of her nasty attitude and seeks support from his stepfather Dev. Who seems terrified to go against Molly. But Forrest stands his ground. Even going as far to issue an ultimatum to Molly. Accept the engagement or be cut out of their lives. Molly doesn’t take this well. And suggests he not come crawling back to her when this fails. She later cries that she feels she has lost her son.
TLC Couple Aviva and Stig Deal with Rumors
On 90 Day Fiance, Aviva Duhamel also deals with meddling relatives. Her Aunt Spring is on a mission to unsettle Aviva’s relationship with Belizean singing star Stig Da Artist. At the center of the investigation is a photo of Stig laying a smooch on a bikini clad woman. Spring’s niece claims this girl is a friend of hers from way back. And has been casually hooking up with Stig for awhile.
Over tropical drinks, Aviva, Spring and her niece Corrinth decide to call the woman in question to get the truth. Stig was left behind and wonders what kind of conspiracies they will feed Aviva. It was a one sided phone call. You couldn’t hear the other woman’s voice. But Corrinth says her friend didn’t know of Aviva. And later text that she was going to San Pedro with him later in the month.
Aunt Spring is smug. But Aviva Duhamel isn’t sold and is set to meet Stig’s dad that evening. Even Stig’s father admits his son is a bit of a player. Aviva brings Aunt Spring along. Spring suggests a strong round of libations called “panty rippers”. Aviva imbibes and questions Stig about the picture. And Corrinth’s phone call. He swears none of it is true and doubts that girl even has his number. With weak evidence and the help of the panty ripper, she forgives him. But he admits to production he’s not innocent.
Before The 90 Days: Lisa’s Dirty Secret Gets Real
It’s been quite a wild ride for Lisa on this season of 90 Day Fiance. She’s been under the microscope since she arrived. Deprived of her vape, shamed when she appeared without her wig in front of Daniel and placed in front of a “king” wearing a plush lion, it doesn’t seem like it could get worse. But it does. Apparently the Nigerian cuisine caught up to her. And Lisa had an accident and pooped the bed. She is mortified, but Daniel tells her it’s ok while ironically gnawing on a Baby Ruth bar.
But she doesn’t realize it’s about to get worse. Over some wine and a home cooked meal she spills most but not all of the beans to Daniel about her past. She admits to five marriages. And in spite of being separated for 9 years she’s still married to number five. But fails to divulge that it’s a woman. Daniel freaks out over the fact he’s been sleeping with another man’s wife. He fears being banished from his tribe.
Lisa sobs and finishes off the wine while Daniel rants. They ride back to the hotel together in silence on 90 Day Fiance. He won’t even sit by her in the car. Lisa realizes she should get her own room for the night. Once she does she calls her daughter revealing what happened. Her daughter isn’t really surprised. But suggests she must come all the way clean about her life and that she’s actually married to a woman. But Lisa doesn’t think she can.
90 Day Fiance: Rick Bets on a Rumble and Wins Trish Back
In spite of admitting he jetted to Colombia for a tryst with his ex after just a few days of no contact from Trish, Rick Van Vactor manages to win her back. She’s hurting. And doesn’t want him to touch her. But the 90 Day Fiance couple decide to finish out their vacation and watch an outdoor Moraingy match. Rick heckles the bare-knuckled brawlers. And Trish softens a little bit wagering a night of sex. Rick takes the bet and wins. But she suggests she’s not putting out.
Trish admits she isn’t sure if she can trust Rick Van Vactor going forward. But acknowledges he makes her happy and she does love him. But there’s the matter of taking him to meet her father. Rick is nervous about it too. But she doesn’t plan on telling her family about the indiscretion. Rick knows he probably has several strikes against him already. Mainly his age and the fact he’s not thrilled about more children. So, it’s a gamble. Till next time!
