The Other Way; S4 TELL ALL PART 1

Gabe was enjoying his very industrial hotel room in NYC, as he announced the castmates he was most excited about meeting. Nicole showed up to the studio wearing a lot of pleather and her signature wide-eyed stare. She quickly changed into a one-armed dress, as she sat with Gabe in the green room, discussing her He-Man haircut. Gabe admitted he was not a Machmood fan, as he felt he was controlling. Speaking of controlling… Danielle arrived at the studio wearing a fun iridescent dress and joined Gabe and Nicole to discuss the rest of the cast. To everyone’s surprise, Gabe actually liked Oussama, feeling that the unlikely couple were truly in love, and O-Som was not just shooting his shot at a Visa. 

Debbie rolled up to the studio wearing a fun tiger print outfit she borrowed from Carole Baskin, then quickly changed into her signature Tell-All hot pink muppet jacket paired with a sequined dress, cowboy boots, 100 necklaces and a matching feather fan (Clearly Tim was her stylist). She strolled on into the room backstage, lighting it up, as she greeted each castmate warmly. 

Kris showed up with her new orange hair and terrible roots, changing into a Hot Topic corset with an old-timey circus conductor jacket over top. She mentioned she was sick recently, throwing up in public….. But managed to come to the Tell All. Of course…

It was finally time for the show to begin. The cast of characters took their places on the stage sitting next to their respective partners/ ex partners on the screen.

Meanwhile, backstage…Tim (who was dressed like a Spice Girl) and Veronica (who looked like lemon meringue) showed up to make snarky comments backstage for some odd reason (Um, hi, production, I can do that too. I’m ready).

The Tell All began with Shaun checking in on the status of the couples. Debbie, in all of her hot pink feathered glory, let everyone know she had not spoken to Oussama since their breakup, despite his endless calling. Danielle and Yohan were questioned next, admitting they were “technically” still married, not quite yet ready to elaborate.

Rishi and Jen have apparently been talking, with Jen’s creepy smile revealing there could be more to that. Isabel and Gabe were doing as well as can be, while Nicole and Maaachmood seemed to still be “my loves”. Kris and Jeymi, however, have not spoken since their explosive fight in Colombia, and it seemed there would be a lot to unpack. 

First up were Debbie and Oussama, with Shaun playing the highlights of their relationship (As Debbie watched from the stage, fanning herself with her signature peacock fan). She felt hurt and betrayed by Oussama, who she claimed turned into a “mean person”. Oussama sat, rolling his eyes (or eye), trying to explain that he loved Debbie, but most of all loved the idea of coming over on a Green Card. Most of the cast disagreed with his motives, except of course Yohan, who was currently in the same “My one-way ticket to America flipped the script and moved to my country and now I’m stuck with them” situation. Debbie’s son Julian, the cop, came out to set Oussama straight. He knew O-Som was a scammer, and wasn’t worth one minute of Miss Debbie’s time, telling him to go get his teeth fixed. Oussama replied with an “Ok, Dog” (clearly a Randy Jackson fan..), as he seemed to remain emotionless during the entire segment. Oussama still maintained that he is a “poet”, and would die for his dream. He then asked Debbie to tell the crew about some elusive “Nights in Casablanca”, which referred to some of their more “amorous” moments (as described by Debbie). Luckily she was not swayed by his prowess and saw that he was the ultimate ‘User Moohamit”. Julian told O-Som to “get a job” to which he replied “I am an artist, and I need to sell my paintings”. Gabe suggested he sell his beloved art to tourists, but Oussama was even picky about WHO was allowed to buy his precious doodles. It was revealed that Oussama was trying to win Debbie back, though she claimed he would have to move a mountain (and not with his poetry..it’s not that moving). 

During the first break, Debbie ran over to hug Julian and thank him for helping. And as a “thank you” she thought about setting him up with Jen. He laughed at the matchmaking attempt, playfully poking fun at his mother as she swished away, still fanning herself all the while. (Please keep her away from Sojaboy at all costs….. Miss Debbie is no one’s “potential”).

Next on the docket were Nicole and SooooMaaaachMood. Nicole discussed her move back to the US, saying she was getting herself stable with an apartment and job so she’d be ready for Machmoody’s arrival. Nicole (who was doing this blonde Cleopatra with lip filler look), told everyone about their whirlwind romance, where they got married after 7 days, and she converted to Island only 2 days before. They started to discuss the whole dress code situation, before Gabe interjected, posing the question, “What if your kids don’t want to be Muslim?” 

Maaachmood immediately became agitated, reassuring Gabe he would make sure his religion would be passed on. Gabe pressed him further, asking if he would make his daughter wear a hijab (which of course was something that never crossed Nicole’s mind), and asked why he forced Nicole to cover up against her will. MaaachMood became so agitated by the line of questioning that he made a dramatic exit from the video chat, leaving Nicole crying. But don’t worry… previews show he makes a return with some awful comebacks for Gabe, and more “my loves”.
