90 Day Fiance: Jasmine Pineda Boots Gino Palazzolo from Pageant

On 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, Jasmine Pineda doesn’t appreciate Gino Palazzolo’s rough critique of her showing at the swimsuit practice of the Miss International We are the World pageant. She models a hot pink swimsuit prior to taking the stage and wants to know if she has camel toe. Gino pretends not to know what that means but gets weirdly excited when Jasmine makes a makeshift camel toe using her arm flesh.

Jasmine Pineda takes the stage among her fellow pay to play pageant competitors. It’s held in the Sequoia meeting room at the airport Days Inn in Miami. Diehard 90 Day Fiance fans may remember this hotel as the venue for Darcey Silva and Stacey Silva’s makeshift Miami swim week event held at the pool. Gino uses his phone to record several women who weirdly all wear the same style of swimsuit. They actually look like they should be doing synchronized swimming instead of prancing in heels.

Jasmine Pineda kicks off her heels immediately after she’s done on 90 Day Fiance. Gino is quick to begin his critique and admits he filmed some other ladies who impressed him with their shoulder rolls and cheesy smiles. Of course Jasmine doesn’t want to hear any of this. And doesn’t want him to be her manager but rather just her husband. She informs Gino that he is no longer welcome in the audience of the pageant or in any capacity for that matter. Gino Palazzolo sulks as Jasmine Pineda prepares for the “parade of costumes”.

90 Day Fiance: Rob Warne Hits up His Hometown

On Happily Ever After, Rob Warne heads home to Kansas City to celebrate his birthday. Sophie Sierra remains in Austin crashing at her friend Kae’s house. Rob gives us a crude tour through the streets of his childhood. He points out the home of the young lady who took his virginity. As well as the home of a seventh grade crush that lasted two weeks after her mom intervened. He checks into a hotel and practices flexing his pecs. Satisfied that he’s still got it, he heads to lunch with his mom.

Mom is sad that Rob is in a tough spot with Sophie Sierra. Rob praises his mom for not being like Sophie’s mom, Claire. He hits the club with his old friends who admit back in the day he was a player. Rob digs the attention from the bottle service girls who pour tequila down his throat. One in particular who admits she is often mistaken for Sandra Bullock. She wants to know if he’s single. And if she can share her information and bite his neck. Rob Warne gloats about how women love him. And Sandra 2.0 says she’s obsessed with him.

TLC Couple Patrick Mendes and Thais Ramone Share a Tender Moment

It’s been rough for Patrick Mendes and Thais Ramone trying to blend their families on 90 Day Fiance. The pair return to where it all began on their first date. A steakhouse offering up all-you-can-eat skewered meat. Thais complains that Pat’s dad takes advantage of them financially. And wants him to give up the apartment he rents from him. Patrick takes a pause from his picanha (Brazilian beef) to hang his head and cry.

He explains that he didn’t see his dad much when he was young. And when he did it might be in a motel since he was a truck driver. Thais tears up too. She didn’t realize it was that hard for Patrick Mendes. He says the apartment is what brought them together. And he doesn’t want to give it up. Thais Ramone relents and says it’s fine to keep it. But she wants him to get her dad’s blessing. He agrees but also suggests she give his brother John a chance and maybe even learn to love him.

90 Day Fiance: Michael Ilesanmi Comes to America

On 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After, Angela Deem allowed Michael Ilesanmi back in their bed after a fight about his shady phone activity. Particularly his involvement in the “paradise mens club”. Michael assures her he’s got her back. And promises to drop out of the PMC. Angela believes him and decides to stay with him in the Ivory Coast until they get the final word about his visa. Michael makes a face like he swallowed a bug but presses on with his plan to come to America.

The 90 Day Fiance producers tease with a shot of Angela rolling her luggage through the airport. She is happy to be home but exhausted from playing detective in uncovering international scams. But lo and behold the camera pans to see Michael Ilesanmi himself right there on US soil. He’s got his visa and dons a red, white and blue patriotic leather jacket and Angela Deem swoons. She points out a strip mall as they travel home and he likes the smooth roads. Angela makes him wait in the car so she can surprise Skyla and the grandkids.

Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise’s Big Fat Cameroonian Wedding

The wedding of 90 Day Fiance couple Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise is complete with traditional colorful clothing, dancing, drinking and overall merriment. It’s time for toasts and Kobe’s best friend Valery takes the mic. He hasn’t been a fan of Emily and has certainly caused some tension. But he gives his full on blessing since he says Emily has proven that she can take care of Kobe. Emily takes the mic to express love for her new family.

Later, it’s time to head back to America. Emily Bieberly has bought a special gift for Kobe’s dad. It’s an outfit that an American grandpa or Gino Palazzolo might wear. Khaki shorts, white socks, blinding white tennis shoes and a red, white and blue cabana shirt. Oh, and a black fanny pack. Everyone loves the look and it’s time for them to say farewell for now to Cameroon and Kobe Blaise’s family.

Down in Florida, Loren Brovarnik plans a date night for her and Alexei Brovarnik on Happily Ever After. Things haven’t been very good since Loren’s surgery. So, she wants to make it up to Alexei. She shops for a sexy dress but admits the mommy makeover still hasn’t made her feel all the way confident. Still, they head to dinner and she tells Alexei she’d like to go back to work. He balks and suggests he can’t be holding everything down while she gallops around. And that he will not be her “cheerleader”. Till next time!
