90 Day Fiance- Before the 90 Days; Season 7 Episode 11:

Tigerlily & Adenoids:

After the rocky start to their recent reunion, the couple seemed to make up as they took a trip to the local “Grand Bazaar” for a shopping run. Tigerlily didn’t dress properly for the occasion, as she decided to wear stiletto shoes and a thick coat to traipse about the uneven cobblestone. Adnan refused to let her take her coat off as she shopped, feeling like the sleazy wheelers and dealers at the mall would be ogling her goods instead of the bazaar wares. This of course annoyed T-Lily, who was attempting to assert herself……but in a baby voice. Very mindful, very demure.
After the bizarre bazaar adventure, Adnan planned a romantic boat ride around the Turkish waters. Tigerlily was relieved to sit down for a while, using the time to rest her feet and question Adnan’s rule. He expected T-Lily to know the ins and outs of #MuslimLife, including the appropriate dress code and making sure she was only seen by female doctors, flown by female pilots, served by female waitresses, and can only listen to music made by female artists. It’s basically Lilith fair and the Female version of “Ghostbusters” from here on out. Tigerlily was upset about the double standards, insisting that Adenoids make a few sacrifices of his own, like wearing a shirt when he swims. He reluctantly agreed, but told the cameras aside that he only did so to shut up the baby-voice and keep the romance going.

RayNay & ChidiChidi No BangBang:

After the disastrous fight on the beach, Raynay decided to end her Nigerian nightmare early and head home to her emotional support chickens. She messaged Chidi to let him know about her departure and he asked to see her one last time (The amount of vision-based comments from the two of them is confusing).
Sister Chidi could barely contain her excitement as she accompanied Chidi for the in-person break up finale, in the event that he needed backup security. Chidi and Raynay met together at a table where he pleasantly discussed how glad he was to spend time with her on this trip as if nothing had ever happened. He even reached into his bag and pulled out two necklaces as a parting gift that he claimed to have picked out (They FELT beautiful at least…). Raynay became enraged, spewing venom as she ripped into Chidi about the way he had played with her feelings since landing in Nigeria. Unsure of how to dish out a come back, the only thing he could think to say was that the only time he enjoyed spending together was their initial meeting (To which I’ve witnessed better “burns” watching him cook breakfast). RayNay got even more upset and stormed off, leaving Sister Chidi to do a happy dance and swoop in. I’m so glad production made the screen blurry while RayNay yelled so we could witness the fight from Chidi’s perspective.

Niles & Matilda:

Back in Ghana, the couple awoke all smiles after a successful meeting with Matilda’s family. They headed off to the family compound so Niles could experience a “Day in the life”-Matilda style. He was greeted by her aunts, siblings, uncles, goats, and scrawny chickens (Who are also family to RayNay), as they entered the humble abode. Niles was overwhelmed by the minimalistic style of the house (Cinder block walls, dirt floors, and en-suite tires). Matilda explained that they keep the tires to block the rogue animals from eating their plantains, which is really just eating profits from the family business. The house also lacked running water and any hint of a toilet. Matilda showed off her blue bedroom (Who’s official Benjamin Moore paint color is “Ronald Ma’Boy Blue Room-Blue”), which she shared with her brother and two sisters, with only one bed. Niles pointed out that the room resembled a fancy jail cell, and that Matilda’s home was “Nowhere humans should live”. Although she understood that his blunt honesty was a side effect of his Autism, Matilda couldn’t help but be slightly offended (The house chickens and goats, however, remained indifferent to the comments).

Niles went off with Brother Matilda to try and use the internet, while she stayed back to discuss the details of the “Knock Door” ceremony with her sisters. It seems they could cater the entire affair for a total of $250 USD, and would be able to make everything in-house (There will definitely be a few less house goats next time we visit). Though this was quite the bargain for a 200+ person guest list, Matilda realized she would have to ask Niles to fork over more money.
Later on Matilda participated in “Take Your Niles to Work Day”, as the two headed off to the market where she sells her plantains. Matilda showcased her neck strength, balancing her wares atop her head, while Niles tried to hone his selling skills. She brought up being offended about his comments, though she recognized that lacking “tact” was a big part of his whole situation.
They then went to meet up with Matilda’s brother and cousin to discuss the Door Knocking details. They expected Niles to have a family member present, preferably his father to take part in the ritual. Since Niles’s family were nowhere nearby and don’t support the relationship to the extent of not waking up for a video call, they decided to turn to Mr. Arc. Apparently Mr. Arc is an “elder” in the community that Matilda had introduced him to, to guide him about their traditions and culture. She has mixed feelings about the senior mentor, however, as she felt he had been rude to her in the past. Mr. Arc better not steer poor Niles wrong, but if he does something bad, I have a feeling Niles might just blurt it out.

Joe & Magna:

Well, it’s episode 10 and since Raynay and Chidi will be making an early departure, I guess there was room for a new couple. Enter Joe, your typical Jersey Italian guy turned Florida man, who is close with his family and loves the gabbagool. He explained his partying past and playboy ways, which he abandoned ever since meeting a Polish girl named Magna. Joe claimed to have met Magda while on a Facetime chat with a friend. Said friend was driving the car and asked Magda to take over the call, causing the two to virtually “meet” and form a romantic relationship. He mentioned that Magda (an ex corrections officer who looked to weigh 75 ‘ Pounds soaking wet) now aspired to be a mother when she moved to the US so the two could be together. Been here. Done that. Bought the t-shirt.
Joe sat down for an Italian meal with his family, telling everyone that he would sort everything out during his upcoming 3 week trip to Poland where he and Magda would be meeting for the first time. Back in Florida, Joe prepped a batch of Publix cookies as he got ready to host an Open House. Realtor Joe had a few friends come over to swim in the pool (Though it was unclear if it was his pool or the one that came with the house he was attempting to sell). He revealed to his friends that Magda was currently unhappy with him over the fact that he had slept with someone else at the beginning of their online courtship. Apparently there were a lot of things Joe hadn’t mentioned to Magna, like the fact that he had been dating one of his close friends, along with half of New Jersey. Their whole story is very early “Yara & Jovi”.

He later on went on a shopping run via satellite with Magda before the big trip to Poland. He brought up the idea of bringing things like shampoo, candy, and contraceptives…. Which caught Magna off guard. Although she was planning on moving to the US and the two having children together immediately, it seems she wanted to wait to consummate their relationship until she felt like she could trust him. Joe was surprised, as he had figured they would definitely be together while on the trip, but agreed to be respectful.
The next scene was a few hours before Joe’s flight, and production couldn’t seem to get a hold of him. They were seen knocking on the door, calling and texting, without much luck, as Joe was nowhere to be found. I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to see where in the world is Joey Boombots.

Sunny & OyVey-Ha:

Having made up from the whole “I brought my ex boyfriend on a trip to meet my new boyfriend” stupidity, Sunny and Veah headed off to meet his friends for a rousing game of cricket. After whacking around a 2×4 for a bit, Sunny’s friends decided to grill Veah on her knowledge of Muslim culture. They felt it was important for the two’s relationship, as she was expected to follow his culture if the two were to get serious…..(which, they’re not). Sunny revealed to his friend that they had been having trust issues ever since he found out about Rory tagging along, putting Veah completely on the spot.
On the way back to the hotel, Veah made it clear that she did not want to convert to Islam, and asked if that was what he had expected. Sunny dodged her questioning, as the two went up to the room to shower together, which I’m fairly certain is not a part of Muslim culture. They later on went swiming together at night where they talked more about their stupid relationship, but who could pay attention when there are 2 people in a scene and only 3 eyebrows total. Looks like next week Sunny and Rory finally come face to brow and square off while Veah stands by awkwardly, probably wondering if the bar takes Apple Pay.
