Okay, last post about TLC\u2019s 90 Day Fianc\u00e9 (at least for this season).<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, we the lovers of trainwreck television were given the very last episode of 90 Day Fianc\u00e9\u2019s second season, which was more or less of a reunion show of the subjects of the season. Typically, I\u2019m not necessarily a fan of this kind of format, since I have a tendency to believe that it leads to a lot of fluff, doesn\u2019t really answer a whole lot of questions, and typically leaves things more in question than before it even aired.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t say that this was any different than any of the reunion shows of any programming prior to this, but I couldn\u2019t help watching it, since I was really eager to find out more information regarding the clear-cut aces of show in Danielle and Mohamed. Naturally, the host of the show was about as aware of how polarizing they are, as they alone commanded entire segments of the show at times, and were almost always last to be addressed in inquiries. But also naturally, the time constraints of the show meant that they couldn\u2019t be given too <\/em>much time, and after the hour-long program was over, there were lots of unanswered questions, more question marks, and no clear-cut speculation to what lies in their future.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, it was still ironically entertaining, watching as Mohamed relentlessly, and almost out of na\u00efve cultural ambivalence, systematically humiliated Danielle on cable television with the things he said, that is, when he wasn\u2019t answering yes or no questions with diatribes of vague responses and way more words than necessary to get a point, or not get a point across.<\/span><\/p>\n

But when he told the audience that his reasons for getting married being 40% an adventure, and 60% simply wanting to be with someone merely for stability, nothing more needed to be said than watching poor Danielle\u2019s face bury itself into his shoulder. Yet, one of the few times in which he actually responded to a yes or no question with a single word being when asked if he were happy with the way things were, and him saying simply \u201cno<\/strong>,\u201d led to one of the most uncomfortable silences in the history of television.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The best part of it was that the other couples, most of which weren\u2019t exactly Cinderella stories in their own right, felt the need to chime in and subtly criticize Danielle and Mohamed\u2019s relationship, as if they were living fairy tale romances in themselves. Granted, in comparison, they may as well have been, but in reality, they had their own petty squabbles and in some cases, legit reasons to believe that their own courtships might\u2019ve fallen through.<\/span><\/p>\n

Including the guy who mail ordered a bride from the Philippines, because he basically really liked the idea that divorce wasn\u2019t an option in the Philippines, so he wanted to hook a woman who wouldn\u2019t even consider dumping him after she got her green card. Oh yeah, as much as Danielle and Mohamed stole this season, Brett and Daya weren\u2019t without notable flaws, either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, I\u2019m sad to see another season of 90 Day Fianc\u00e9 come to a close, and even sadder that they\u2019re 2\/2 in seasons with a 100% success rate of marriages. Even if Danielle and Mohamed are a sham of shams, they still made it to the altar and both inconceivably said \u201cI do.\u201d I still don\u2019t believe for a second that this is anything other than a poorly executed scam, butfor all intents and purposes, they\u2019re married, just like all the other couples, bullshit as it might be.<\/span><\/p>\n
