Sigh. #90DayFiance is my show but they have some very problematic cast members. Letās talk about Ed and Rose.
Heās a 54 year old man. Sheās 23. His visit to the Philippines is the first time heās meeting her in person... and also when he plans to propose. #90DayFiance
If the age difference alone doesnāt creep you out, well thereās more. Ed knows heās not attractive. He is constantly asking Rose if sheās sure she likes what she sees cuz he probably doesnāt 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 heās telling directors heās really just concerned that she might have STDs
...cuz she has lots of Facebook friends
#90DayFiance


This man brings an STD test to the Philippines to insist that Rose takes it
sheās obviously angry about that request but when she asks him to also take one, he says nahhh
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 heāll 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
heās overjoyed. #90DayFiance

I forgot to mention a disturbing detail. Rose has a kid... a 4 yr old son named Prince who calls Ed, ādaddyā
Ed is obviously not the father and he could care less about Prince.
+ speaking of dads, Ed is A YEAR older than Roseās father.
Weāll get back to that. #90DayFiance

+ speaking of dads, Ed is A YEAR older than Roseās father.

Anyways, back at the hotel Ed sets up a scene to have sex with Rose. I thought he was SO worried about STDs
She looks terrified. Long story short, that was a lie and he has sex with her.
She declines to comment, he tells producers, āwe made loveā... #90DayFiance


I forgot to mention another detail. He claims he hasnāt been in a relationship in like 20 years (I wonder why) after he ruined his marriage by cheating.
Heās worried about Roseās FB friends but cheated on his ex wife. Okay.

So the next day after sex sheās telling him that his scratchy mess of a beard irritates her face when they kiss. Iām 92% sure sheās lying and just doesnāt wanna kiss his weird ass but alright. She asks him to shave it. He sees her request as an opportunity...
#90DayFiance

This man tells sis that ālast night your legs were feeling like mine, hairyā and says she has to shave her legs then heāll shave his beard. Turns to the camera and says he doesnāt like hairy legs and that hers are very hairy. Wtf. And what does Rose do? She shaves. #90DayFiance
At this point Iām like yea... I can already see how this will go. It doesnāt 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
itās time to meet the FAM! And this is where Ed is completely out of his comfort zone and things start getting āfunā (for the record, Roseās living conditions arenāt fun, I just liked watching Ed squirm) #90DayFiance

Ed meets Roseās 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, āhow do you like it here?ā... until he sees where heās sleeping for the night and starts to freak out
#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.
ISNāT 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 heās scared sheās using him. Isnāt 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
- 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
- Roseās 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
