Sigh. #90DayFiance is my show but they have some very problematic cast members. Letā€™s talk about Ed and Rose.
Heā€™s a 54 year old man. Sheā€™s 23. His visit to the Philippines is the first time heā€™s meeting her in person... and also when he plans to propose. #90DayFiance
If the age difference alone doesnā€™t creep you out, well thereā€™s more. Ed knows heā€™s not attractive. He is constantly asking Rose if sheā€™s sure she likes what she sees cuz he probably doesnā€™t like himself. He lied about his size and height before meeting her. #90DayFiance
I just have to mention that the man uses MAYONNAISE as shampoo. Yes, you read that correctly. #90DayFiance
He starts his journey to Rose with a pretentious rant about wanting to be respectful of her and not try anything on the first night... meanwhile heā€™s telling directors heā€™s really just concerned that she might have STDs šŸ˜ ...cuz she has lots of Facebook friends šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø #90DayFiance
This man brings an STD test to the Philippines to insist that Rose takes it šŸ¤Ø sheā€™s obviously angry about that request but when she asks him to also take one, he says nahhh šŸ˜ he books her another hotel room, she leaves and ignores him. That was their first fight. #90DayFiance
He asks her to meet him at a restaurant to talk and basically BEGS the girl to come back to his hotel, saying heā€™ll never ask her to take a test again, ever. Lol. She grills him for all of 5 mins then agrees to go back with him šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø heā€™s overjoyed. #90DayFiance
I forgot to mention a disturbing detail. Rose has a kid... a 4 yr old son named Prince who calls Ed, ā€œdaddyā€ šŸ„“ Ed is obviously not the father and he could care less about Prince.

+ speaking of dads, Ed is A YEAR older than Roseā€™s father. šŸ˜ Weā€™ll get back to that. #90DayFiance
Anyways, back at the hotel Ed sets up a scene to have sex with Rose. I thought he was SO worried about STDs šŸ™„ She looks terrified. Long story short, that was a lie and he has sex with her. šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø She declines to comment, he tells producers, ā€œwe made loveā€... #90DayFiance
I forgot to mention another detail. He claims he hasnā€™t been in a relationship in like 20 years (I wonder why) after he ruined his marriage by cheating. šŸ’€ Heā€™s worried about Roseā€™s FB friends but cheated on his ex wife. Okay.
So the next day after sex sheā€™s telling him that his scratchy mess of a beard irritates her face when they kiss. Iā€™m 92% sure sheā€™s lying and just doesnā€™t wanna kiss his weird ass but alright. She asks him to shave it. He sees her request as an opportunity... šŸ™„ #90DayFiance
This man tells sis that ā€œlast night your legs were feeling like mine, hairyā€ and says she has to shave her legs then heā€™ll shave his beard. Turns to the camera and says he doesnā€™t like hairy legs and that hers are very hairy. Wtf. And what does Rose do? She shaves. #90DayFiance
At this point Iā€™m like yea... I can already see how this will go. It doesnā€™t matter that Big Ed has the physical characteristics of a pregnant garden gnome, he knew exactly what he was doing seeking out a dirt poor, very young, foreign chick with a kid. #90DayFiance
I think everything that happens the next 2 days is his karma šŸ˜‚ itā€™s time to meet the FAM! And this is where Ed is completely out of his comfort zone and things start getting ā€œfunā€ (for the record, Roseā€™s living conditions arenā€™t fun, I just liked watching Ed squirm) #90DayFiance
Ed meets Roseā€™s dad, sister and her son, Prince. Ed goes from hornball creep to Mr. Respectful, wanting to get to know everyone by asking stupid questions like, ā€œhow do you like it here?ā€... until he sees where heā€™s sleeping for the night and starts to freak out šŸ˜‚ #90DayFiance
Now idk what kinda poor he thought she was but Rose told him about her living conditions beforehand. Ed starts complaining about everything. The bed. The roof. The lack of AC. The sheets not being the right thread count. šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø ISNā€™T THIS WHAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR? #90DayFiance
These old American men date young women from impoverished countries cuz they know a lot of them are desperate to get out. Ed is no exception. However he has the AUDACITY to say after staying with her that heā€™s scared sheā€™s using him. Isnā€™t that... what you want? #90DayFiance
Some shit happens that of course @TLC exploits for views cuz poor people are so funny to look at:

- there was a dying rat in the house that Ed ran from... Rose said it was a mouse and he corrected her saying it was a rat and being dramatic... they zoomed in on it #90DayFiance
- Roseā€™s father joined Ed in the shower and she hosed them both down (this is common outside the US for water conservation). Ed was screaming the whole time, maybe cuz the water was cold. Again, being dramatic. I was laughing tho #90DayFiance
