Nope, no chance that she\u2019s\u00a0not\u00a0in love with a guy thrice her age<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So, with the saga of Danielle and Mohamed on the shelf for another indeterminate amount of time, it\u2019s time to move on to the third season of TLC\u2019s\u00a090 Day Fiance.\u00a0<\/em>I\u2019ll admit a large part of the amusement of watching the show is trying to play the game of identifying which couple(s) ultimately fails, leading to an unhappy ending for one of the Americans on the show, and injecting a whole lot of hypothetical narrative to which people from another country are putting up with this farce in pursuit of a green card.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last season, I declared that it was a season\u00a0designed\u00a0<\/em>to have sure-fire failures, but much like the first season, every single couple, including Danielle and Mohamed ended up tying the knot.<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to make that same mistake again, because as long as the cameras are rolling, and they\u2019re part of this show, every single one of these couples is undoubtedly going to successfully get married, regardless of what occurs six, eight, or ten months after the cameras are gone.\u00a0 Nobody wants to be the person who gets dumped on cable television, and even TLC producers aren\u2019t as heartless as to let such occur if it can be helped.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Regardless of matrimony, it doesn\u2019t mean that some of these people aren\u2019t doing this solely for the green card, and have secret agendas of securing safe passage into the United States before launching their mother plans of getting out when the coast is clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

That being said, along with providing editorial commentary about each of the couples, instead of trying to determine the success\/failure rate of each couple, I\u2019m just going to put down odds that they\u2019re doing it solely for the green card.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, both the Philippines and Colombia are represented, for the third time each, in three seasons.\u00a0 Either they have high numbers of green card hunters, or TLC really likes going back to those wells for couples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark (Maryland) + Nikki (Philippines)\u00a0<\/strong>– Mark is 58 years old. \u00a0Nikki is 19 years old.\u00a0\u00a0Elise<\/strong>, Mark\u2019s live-in daughter, is\u00a021 years old<\/em>.\u00a0 Yeah, this is totally work out just fine and dandy.\u00a0 Bonus train wreck information: Mark was previously married to a mail-order bride, also from the Philippines, who is the mother to Elise and Mark\u2019s\u00a0three other\u00a0<\/em>children.\u00a0 Basically with all this considered, Mark and Nikki are easily going to be the unanimous favorites to be the\u00a0Danielle and Mohamed Award for Biggest Train Wreck Couple of the Season<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0winners.\u00a0 Green card alert:\u00a0100%.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Melanie (Pennsylvania) + Devar (Jamaica)\u00a0<\/strong>– Melanie went to Jamaica for a vacation, and met Devar on the beach, and suddenly they\u2019re engaged.\u00a0 No offense to Melanie, but she\u2019s a hard 6 at best, no matter how much of a workout buff she is; however compared to Devar, who\u2019s basically a Jamaican Adonis, the red flags go up for the green card alert.\u00a0 I feel bad for Melanie who\u2019s a single mother to an 11 year old, because ultimately she wants a man that clearly is physically fit and might be a good stepfather to her kid, but Devar is reeking of a man, who is trying to escape the general Jamaican poverty, where he might be able to make some US dollars to funnel back to his three sisters, whom he had been living with prior to engagement.\u00a0 Green card alert:\u00a0100%<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fernando (Florida) + Carolina (Colombia)\u00a0<\/strong>– Now there\u2019s only so much I can hypothesize here, because this couple has yet to be introduced on the show at the time I\u2019m writing this, and everything I know is based on the \u201cMeet Fernando and Carolina\u201d video available from TLC\u2019s website.\u00a0 But Fernando is a 39-year old living with his parents in Florida, while Carolina is a nubile 25-year old from Colombia.\u00a0 Based on the length of the video, Fernando is a micro-managing personality who loves to hear himself speak and is freely willing to point out criticisms of his fiancee that he\u2019s probably spent like two days with, such as their gap in age.\u00a0 Also possibly gay.\u00a0 Why Carolina is willing to change her life and come to America for a dude like this, to live with him and his parents is beyond me other than anything more than the pursuit of the green card.\u00a0 Green card alert:\u00a080%<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kyle (Louisiana) + Noon (Thailand)<\/strong>\u00a0– Much like Fernando and Carolina, they haven\u2019t yet been introduced in the show, but it\u2019s still easy to make a prediction based on the information about them that is already available.\u00a0 Kyle is a slacker bartender from New Orleans, who brings Noon over from Thailand.\u00a0 Now it\u2019s easy to make jokes about what kind of slum places like Bangkok are, but if Noon thought she was going to be upgrading by moving to America, she\u2019s sorely disappointed, when she moves in with Kyle, who lives in a grungy, roach-filled apartment; with a roommate.\u00a0 Their preview also shows Noon\u2019s general disdain of walking around the drunken French Quarter, and watching drunk chicks slurring and trying to hit on Kyle while he\u2019s trying to bartend.\u00a0 Although they will undoubtedly get married by show\u2019s end, there\u2019s no way she\u2019s sticking around when the cameras are gone.\u00a0 Green card alert:\u00a060%<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Josh (Idaho) + Aleksandra (Russia)\u00a0<\/strong>– Josh is extremely Mormon and lives with his entire family, which for a Mormon family isn\u2019t really that large.\u00a0 Alessandra is a former go-go dancing party girl who has supposedly found God in the book of Latter Day Saints.\u00a0 Although this sounds like a recipe for a potential train wreck, the highly-religious people on 90 Day Fiance have been typically successful.\u00a0 The drama will be minimal and artificial, often forced, around her previous lifestyle versus modest Mormon beliefs, possible home sickness, and the guaranteed forced separation prior to marriage, but they\u2019re so young and stupid that they\u2019ll probably work out.\u00a0 Both are kind of derpy, which makes them shoe-ins to fill the slot vacated by Danny and Amy in season 2.\u00a0 But who knows if Aleksandra is putting on the mother of facades in order to get a green card?\u00a0 Green card alert:\u00a030%<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Loren (New York) + Alexei (Israel)<\/strong>\u00a0– Loren met Alexei during her Birthright trip to Israel, and right before she left to go home, Alexei proposed.\u00a0 She\u2019s kind of a princess-ey type and sort of obnoxious to listen to speak, and clearly has her priorities straight, since Alexei\u2019s physique was a huge factor in her attraction to him.\u00a0 But something about the whole Jewish connection, as well as Loren\u2019s overprotective father who vows to break Alexei if he breaks Loren\u2019s heart makes me think that this just might be genuine, and that they\u2019ll not only get married, but probably last.\u00a0 If anything at all, based on Loren\u2019s vapid personality, she would likely be the higher flight risk than Alexei, but it\u2019s always difficult to discount a person willing to take the plunge into engagement within the span of just 10 days.\u00a0 Green card alert:\u00a010%<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bottom line is that no matter how much we may or may not want to see a colossal failure happen, if Danielle and Mohamed can tie the knot, then every single one of these couples is going to succeed in at least tying the knot.\u00a0 It\u2019s what happens when the cameras stop rolling, is when it might just begin to finally get truly interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
