like the case of Jenny and Sumit, both of them are dumb as rocks, and Jenny can\u2019t seem to understand that Sumit will never marry her, as he has an endless bag of excuses and reasons to never move forward.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>I never laughed harder than when he has suggested traveling to Nepal to circumvent Jenny\u2019s visa issues, because his own passport was absconded by his ex-in-laws and he doesn\u2019t seem to understand he\u2019s a grown adult and can get a replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Kenny and Armando are the layup of the season, Steven and Alina are too young and stupid to game the show, and Ellie and Victor are living too real of a situation, dealing with hurricane cleanup to be in a position to be gaming the show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The point is, I\u2019m just not coming to the realization, that there are clearly a lot of participants in the show\u2019s history, where they\u2019re gaming the system and artificially injecting plot lines and twists in order to remain on the show.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Some more obvious than others, but there are obviously sometimes gamers amidst those seeking foreign love.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catching up on this season of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, I had a thought that I\u2019ve had multiple times but never really brogged about: what\u2019s the possibility that there are some people on the show who are deliberately doing things knowing that it\u2019s juicy television and will ensure their continued participation on the &hellip;
