Discovery+ has launched, and a new era of the 90 Day Fiance franchise is upon us, thanks to 90 Day Fiance Bares All. TLC fans can now watch every episode of the franchise plus their new exclusive spin-offs, if they are willing to pay a small fee. For some, the promise of exclusive series and secure unveilings of never-before-seen footage was too much to pass up.
In the season premiere, host Shaun Robinson welcomed Brittany Banks, Yazan Abu, Brandon Gibbs, Betty and Ron Gibbs, and Tarik Myers. As expected, fireworks exploded when the veterans shared their updates.
The first couple up was Brandon and Julia. Not surprising, Brandon appeared on the show with his mother and father, Betty and Ron, who made it clear they were still as controlling as ever. Any TLC can see that Julia is not enjoying her time on the farm and is tired of smelling and looking like a pig. Betty and Ron made it their mission to separate the couple, telling Shaun, "They have to be married before they can share a bedroom. The crux is I don't want to go to bed, and I don't want to pay for therapy after hearing them." Fans are still shocked that Betty tried to force Julia onto birth control. Eventually, the parents had to go and tend to the farm but not before some parting words about sexual education. The advice left Brandon in the hot seat as Shaun revealed a never-before-seen clip showing the couple pleasing each other in the car as cameras were rolling. While social media has not been kind to the mama's boy, it did not help that he seemed lackadaisical when it came to his sexual health, as he admitted that neither of them uses protection because they both find it "less fun." Shaun was disturbed by the 27-year-old's answer. The best part of their segment was when Angela Deem made an appearance via Zoom. Needless to say, Angela was unimpressed with Brandon's attitude and treating Julia like hired help on the farm. She told him he needs to shape up or ship out, saying his "c**k belongs to Julia now."
Behind The Scenes
Brittany wasted no time in catching viewers up on how she was doing since returning home to the United States. Fans were not surprised to learn that the couple was well and truly over, finished, and terminated! Even though fans were told that a tell-all was not filmed, it was obvious that a reunion was taped only for it to be used on their multiple spin-offs. Brittany let it be known that she was annoyed with producers and wanted Yazan out of her life, saying, "It literally broke my heart. I have DMs of girls sending me screenshots." The translator also made an appearance to fans' amazement, but not a lot of his talent was needed since the closed captioning caught it all. The toxic couple yelled back and forth at one another with Yazan, admitting he was "blinded by love" and even saying, "She took advantage of me." Brittany just laughed off his claims as she twirled her hair even after she was called a toxic manipulator. Britanny spilled the tea by showing off text messages that seemed to show Yazan's aunt saying her social media pictures were beautiful, insinuating that his family was not actually that conservative. The biggest bombshell was the moment that Brittany accused Yazan of stealing money out of her purse to pay for a gay man saying, "Tell them how you were stealing money out of my purse when I was there. … He was saying, like, 'You were sleeping and I needed to get something for us. You were texting a gay boy for money. You let him send you a picture of his open a**, and you were still talking to him."
90 Day Got Skills
In the last segment of the premiere show, Tarik took the stage to serenade viewers with his original song, "Hot Sauce," which was inspired by his fiancée Hazel. Not only was he tone-deaf and auto-tuned, but it was also a sad case of a wannabe rapper. Tarik sported a red shirt, white pants, and a white towel, which had him looking like a bullfighter as he fought the sweat of the limelight. As the song continued, the words became a bit raunchier as he mentioned his manhood and licking his fiancée. After the performance ended, he graced Shaun on the couch, where he dubbed himself the Black Anthony Bourdain and credited him with getting the reality star into traveling after watching a Thailand program. While on the couch, he addressed his brother Dean's departure from Pillow Talk, explaining he had no idea what actually went down. As the story goes, an executive producer called Tarik to let him know his brother had upped and quit the show because he felt that Tarik was talking over him. Tarik explained that his brother was "completely two-faced. Blocked me on social media and phone. He even blocked Hazel."
There was a lot to discuss in the first episode, and fans are bound to tune in for the rest of the behind-the-scenes footage. It seems to be worth the small monthly cost to get all the unspoken drama that was left out on the normal network. While we may not be downloading Tarik's single as of yet, there are bound to be more exciting performances in the future.
