    Do we know how long Nikki has been paying all of this crap for Justin? Sorry if this was covered previously.

    So boom,

    Rob is mentally abusive. A gaslighter, a cheater and just bleh. Gino had no real reason to quit his job, idk why he did all that. Especially knowing Jasmine is so financially needy. Nikki is just wrong, you can’t get into a serious relationship and hold back that you’re trans. Igor just has some resentment buried deep in his heart and I honestly think he may not be 100% okay with it. And Nikki’s butt is eww. Lmao all the blurred faces were just staring lol.

      I feel like he did this to save face and knows he has savings that can carry him for some time. Would you want to report into hours of daily teams calls knowing everyone saw your wife talk about your banana on a popular tv show? I also think he calculated how much they get per ep and this is a better yield and doesn’t have to worry about filming issues if he’s working- no proof of any of this but just assumption as I work adjacent in the engineering space and know that this would NOT go over well in that type of work environment

      Did he quit? Or was he fired? I’m really starting to question this now. Maybe his boss watches the show and had enough of him?

        He took a Leave of Absence for 1 year. He explained that on the first episode but now he’s acting like he quit? His job will be there in 1 year or maybe sooner if he chooses to end the Leave early.

    So in that one-room toilet-less garage apartment, there are actually two people PLUS a large dog living in there!? This just gets crazier.

    Let’s look at Rob and Sophie subjectively for a second.

    Rob is broke and jobless with an abrasive personality. She could get thousands of guys in LA who would be willing to take on Rob’s role but with financial security, a better personality and a bathroom.

    She already lives in a first world country of England, she is already wealthy as she claims, so what is it she is after then? Fame? Reality show career? Something isn’t adding up.

      I think she grew up with some level of “new” money and her living in different countries, combined with new money help or gifts when she was younger, gives him this chip on his shoulder that he’s also using against her. I think the producers are pushing this angle because otherwise, they have nothing to argue about other than he’s an asshole.

      Has he held a job previously or just another model/influencer blah blah blah type?

      Also, can we talk about how Rob seems like he’s got some crazy abusive energy. He is angry, defensive, rude, he puts her down. He flat out scares me

      Yeah,I don’t think she’s as rich as she claims to be. Rob has an awful personality. I don’t know what she sees in him.

        Agreed, I don’t believe she’s ever been that rich unless it’s in comparison with Rob. I do believe she’s estranged from her family and couldn’t think of what to do other than go try it out with The Knob.

      Rob is literally a walking red flag, talking about he wants to humble her but is clearly feeling someway that she comes from money— asking her to ask her family for money ? Absolutely not— he must think because of his “ like Mike “ braids he’s hot shit, he needs a wake-up call

      I really wish people would stop acting like US citizenship is some kind of prize for people coming from other first world countries. We’re a third world country wearing a Gucci belt, I’d much rather live in the UK than here, frankly, and I’m solidly middle class. They showed Sophie in her very nice apartment in the UK and she seems to do just fine as an “influencer” so I doubt her goal is to get her greencard so she can claw her way out of poverty in her home country. I think she just wants to become famous (D list 90 day famous would suffice) so she’s using Rob for the show. I really HOPE that’s the case, because there’s no other objective reason why anyone would date that douche.

    I’m sorry, I know Jasmine should not have gotten the implants. But Gino is conveniently forgetting the fact that he waited until AFTER she got to America to drop the bomb that he (stupidly??) quit his job. That’s just as dishonest, imo?

    And they’re both being like “oh, but I did this for YOU” and they’re both full of it.

      See, I disagree! Remember Fernanda and Jonathan, how she cried continuously over him having to work and her be alone? Hell, we’ve seen it many times, most recently with Mercy on 90DayUK, and Jasmine is 100% that type of person. If Gino has started leaving for work every day, I guarantee you Jasmine would have been upset and lonely very quickly. We’ll won’t know now, but in any case, Gino is not living paycheck to paycheck, he could comfortably retire now, he just wanted to work longer and save more. He’s not risking them being homeless or anything quitting the job, but what Jasmine did, especially considering the fact that the money was specifically sent for a wedding dress AND that Gino had SPECIFICALLY said no to butt implants when they discussed it, is much worse to me. I think he genuinely had Jasmine in mind when he took the leave though, he knows how she is.

    This has to do with this season But really why would guys rather put up with girls that are pretty yet fake and hugely take advantage of them over a girl that is sincere and won’t spend all his money and not that dolled up all the time? I get guys want to feel like they are needed but damn

    I just realized Nikki and Jasmine are going to be in the same room for the tell all. I feel like that might lead to some sort of botched singularity that could doom us all.

    Have one of our Reddit Bureau of Investigation detectives figured out how much that man is paying in rent to have an outdoor shitter? I’ve stayed off grid and there was still a toilet and shower IN the house.

      I’m not sure, I feel like he’s just an idiot and should know better that quitting his job is a fucking stupid thing to do.

    I try not to stereotype but when Jasmine came out in the nurse’s outfit, Gino sounded like a gay man hyping up his bestie while she’s lingerie shopping. Like, that would have turned me off immediately 😭

    Rob is a disrespectful pig. The bathroom argument is stupid and he’s stupid for doubling down, but forcing Sophie to have sex with him when she kept saying how tired & jet lagged she was? STRAIGHT TO HELL. Seriously, he can go lock himself in his outhouse with his Ninja and Keurig for the rest of his life.

      Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one who picked up on that. There have been many times my husband is too tired to have sex from work and I leave him tf alone. I don’t understand his entitlement to having sex with her just because he did an embarrassing dance in the airport, a shitty proposal, fought with her and told her he couldn’t stand her minutes after proposing and telling her she’s “ruining the vibe”, they eat dinner, he acts like where they live is safe. He should’ve used the money for the ring to get a better apartment; and get a steady job. Then the “icing” is pressuring her into sex after she’s been on a plane for two days. I’m only 30 minutes in to the third episode and I already hate him

      THANK YOU for bringing this up…and acknowledging that it is NOT ok for your partner to badger you and pressure you into having sex - after you have told them “no, not now”, “I’m tired”, “I’m jet lagged”, “I just wanna go to sleep”. When Sophie recounted that story about having sex with Rob and how she finally gave in… my heart sank. Sophie tried to give the story a cute spin, by saying it took Rob 5 minutes to unbutton her pajamas…but I felt horrified.

      Then they show Rob grinning in his confessional - saying the sex was the “icing” on the cake. THIS IS NOT OKAY. Regardless of gender or relationship status, if someone tells you that they don’t feel like having sex, you respect that. Period. No pressuring. No coercion. No guilt tripping. Being in a relationship does not give your partner “all access” to your body, whenever they want. Without boundaries or limitations.

      I’m not saying Rob is a monster or a predator. I don’t know these people in real life and I know this show is heavily edited. HOWEVER, I think Rob gets away with A LOT and might think most rules don’t apply to him… because of how good looking he is. He’s not used to hearing (or comprehending) the word “NO”. I have an ex boyfriend who looks soooo much like Rob and his scenes with Sophie are triggering AF. I was super young and I felt like I should just be grateful that such a gorgeous man wanted to be my boyfriend. He was emotionally and physically abusive. Super controlling. Never respected any of my boundaries… BUT all my friends, family, even strangers would constantly comment on how handsome my boyfriend was and I “better not let him go”. To the point that I tolerated so much abuse because I felt lucky to just be his girlfriend. None of my boundaries were respected, especially in bed. Consent meant nothing to him.

      I hope everyone watching this show knows that consent before sex is non-negotiable… pressuring your partner into sex is not ok. Whether they are a drunk stranger you just met OR your sober spouse of 25 years. If somebody tells you they’re not comfortable having sex in that moment, you need to be a good human being and respect their wishes. Period. Pressuring them until they finally give in to having sex is not “icing on the cake”… it looks a lot like non-consensual sex. In my opinion.

    “We express our love through sex” Intimacy is important, but that’s some high school shit. Like yeah he’s an asshole to me but he likes fucking me so we’re in love, right??
