Darcey Silva is one of the most famous 90 Day Fiancé alums, famously dating Jesse Meester and Tom Brooks on the show, She appeared in all four seasons of the Before the 90 Days spinoff as well as on Pillow Talk, Self-Quarantined, and B90 Strikes Back. Darcey's enthusiastic quotes about the notion of getting married became some of the most memorable lines in the history of the show.
Her optimism aside, Darcey also often fought with her fiancés. When their arguments escalated, Darcey sometimes stood up for herself. Fans remember both sides of Darcey: the one who wants nothing more than to get married and the one who refuses to shed a single tear in front of heartbreakers.
"Can I Have The Check Please? I'll Pay For His Coffee."
When Darcey and Tom met for a cup of coffee to discuss their relationship, they had a very uncomfortable conversation. Tom did most of the talking. He accused Darcey of never letting him speak, told her he sees her as his sister and dared to comment on her weight. Darcey listened to Tom calmly, revealing little emotion.
Eventually, Darcy told Tom she knew about his new girlfriend. Unlike many times in the past, she didn't shed a tear in front of Tom in this moment. Fans were appreciated seeing Darcey handle the situation with strength, grace and self-respect, even telling the waiter that she'd pay for Tom's coffee.
"Gotta Smell Like An Angel."
What makes for an amazing 90 Day Fiancé airport arrival? In Darcey's opinion, it's that she smells like an angel. When she first flew out to the U.K. to meet Tom, she wanted everything to be as perfect as possible.
Since it wasn't Tom who was waiting for her but rather his driver, Darcey took as much time as she needed to look and smell as great as possible. "Gotta smell like an angel," she explained to the camera while dousing herself in perfume from head to toe.
"I Don't Give Up On Love."
Darcey has made countless statements about love. These from "I don't need love" to "I don't give up on love". She uttered the latter while talking to her twin sister Stacey about what had transpired between Darcey and Tom. The conversation ended with both of them crying.
They told each other that they would always have each other's backs, which reassured the heartbroken Darcey. "It's a bit sad," she added, "not knowing if you'll ever be married or be in a perfect relationship." Despite her negative experiences with Jesse and Tom, she stayed hopeful.
"Get Out Of My Life!"
Jesse came to New York City to spend time with Darcey, but as was always the case with these two, they ended up fighting before they even made it to the hotel.
"You don't love me. You never did, you liar," Darcey told Jesse before bellowing "Get out of my life!" and dramatically slamming the SUV trunk. Jesse, meanwhile, sat in the backseat, looking unfazed as always. This moment became just as memorable as Anfisa's "makeup bag" quote and undoubtedly lives rent-free in every fan's head.
"Keep Your Eyes On The Prize."
Darcey was desperate to get married, which is something that she persistently hinted at in her relationships with both Jesse and Tom. At one point when Tom was waiting for her at the door, she quipped that he looked like a groom at the end of an aisle.
While walking down the street in London, Darcey wanted to take a look at the diamond rings. Tom, however, commented on the watches instead. "Keep your eyes on the prize," she said, which didn't sit well with Tom. He felt that she was putting too much pressure and expectation on their relationship.
"You Gotta Cut It On The Bias, Babe."
When Darcey brought Jesse to Connecticut for the first time, she wanted the two of them to have a nice dinner with her daughters. Jesse was preparing steaks when Darcey gave him some advice: "You gotta cut it on the bias, babe."
Little did Darcey know that Jesse wouldn't take her advice well, even though she "worked in restaurants." The misunderstanding was blown out of proportions and ended up as one of the most brutal fights in the history of 90 Day Fiancé.
"I Had A Couple Of Wines."
Most fans agreed that Jesse's behavior was far more problematic than Darcey's. That it, until they realized the young Dutchman might be onto something when he said that he believed Darcey seemed to have difficulty regulating her alcohol intake.
While her famous quote, "I had a couple of wines," sounds amusing and instantly went down in history as one of her most memorable lines, fans later started feeling worried for Darcey too. It's one of those quotes that fans cannot stop thinking about, but not in a good way.
"It's Me Time."
Red flags on 90 Day Fiancé often go unnoticed or ignored by the contestants. Darcey was especially good at seeing only what she wanted to see: that her partner is indeed her soulmate. When her partners let her down, she always decided to prioritize herself.
"It's me time," she once famously said, asserting that she's the most important person in her own life. Unfortunately, she had a tendency to end up ignoring her feelings just so she could be in a relationship.
"Please, I Just Want Love. I Beg You!"
Of all the 90 Day Fiancé alums, Darcey was among the ones most eager to find her happily ever after. She wasn't hesitant to show it, either. In the second season of Before the 90 Days, Jesse came to the States to be with Darcey. The season's previews showed Darcey and Jesse fighting.
Jesse famously told Darcey to start acting her age, to which she replied that she won't be bullied. "Please, I just want love," she told him, "I beg you!" Fans were shocked to see Darcey to literally beg for love from a man who barely ever showed her any affection.
"You Kind Of Match My Vision Board."
When she was dating Tom, Darcey was so smitten with him that she said that he "kind of matches her vision board." Many fans thought the quote was hilarious as it speaks volumes of how Darcey perceives relationships. Rather than seeking a genuine connection that eventually leads to commitment, she wants to meet somebody who ticks a series of predetermined boxes.
Darcey wasn't joking when she mentioned the vision board. She has a history of posting them on her social media accounts. But as fans pointed out, they look like something a teenager would post rather than a 40-something woman. Perhaps one day Darcey will find exactly what she envisions for herself.
