90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days: Will the Real Mahogany Roca Diaz Please Stand Up

Ben Rathbun has been sitting solo at a table for 2 in a restaurant in Peru for two weeks now. The super bowl has come and gone while waiting for Mahogany Roca.

He’s exhausted the restaurant’s supply of lemon wedges for his ice water. And the waitress just wants to go home. But lo and behold there’s a rustle in the hallway.

Could it be Mahogany? Ben calms himself by praying hard that it’s the doe-eyed filter queen he’s come to not know… It sure seemed like he would be served catfish. But Mahogany appeared!

Suddenly, Mahogany appeared on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days. She looks different than her dreamy pics. And more like a college student meeting up with her dad for lunch.

Ben Rathbun doesn’t mind that Mahogany’s more Hannah Montana than Victoria’s Secret angel. During an awkward hug, he blurts out to Mahogany — “I love you”.

But it hangs in the air like one of Mike Berk’s untimely farts. Mahogany Roca admits to production that it’s Ben who isn’t matching up to his photos in her opinion. TLC Twitter confirmed his first date shirt was on, but she seemed less than impressed.

The two exchange small talk. And Mahogany Roca drifts in and out of speaking Spanish and valley girl. Then, Mahogany schools Ben on how to properly say her name. It’s “Ma-how-gon-eee”.

While Ben Rathbun is obviously smitten, Mahogany says she needs time to know him better. And feels bad she didn’t make it to the airport but had to study for an algebra final.

And oh, her dad thinks he’s a creep. After five minutes, Mahogany is ready to bounce (curfew). And Ben says I love you again. Crickets. Whelp maybe a serving of catfish would have gone down easier…

90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days — Kimberly Menzies Is Girlfriend Material?

It’s the morning after Kimberly Menzies fought with international superstar and global sensation Sojaboy. She and Usman Umar had a big to-do. Kimberly is tired, frustrated, and hot.

And humidity is not a friend to ladies with long hair. She’s super peeved that she flew all the way to Tanzania. And he hasn’t as much as given her a peck on the cheek.

Usman waxes about respect and why he won’t let her candy his yam since they “aren’t in a relationship”. This baffles her because she told everybody back home they were.

So, in one last final grasp on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days, she gives an ultimatum. If they don’t do the bedroom mambo, she’s out. No friend zone, no nothing. And no more new electronics. He weighs his options and caves.

After all, he talks to her every day. So, he promises to give it up to her tonight. She dances a celebratory table jig. He mentions he will take it easy on her so she can walk the next day. TMI.

But first, Kimberly Menzies thinks they should Facetime her son Jamal. Her son admits he’s skeptical of Usman Umar. And the age difference makes things “less than ideal” to her boy.

But in the end, he’s willing to accept it. Back at the hotel, Usman dons a robe, sunglasses, and some Sojaboy bling. He dives onto a giggling Kimberly. And she demands he lose the sunglasses. Then they disappear under the sheets.

He fears he could be kept away from his parents and son for weeks. But Ella Johnson is fed up. And she says that she’ll move on if he doesn’t commit.

Perhaps she’s on the Usman Umar school of delusion on 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days. Of course, his family thinks he should stop the gravy train altogether.

And grandpa Hyman admits he had no problem scoring chicks back in the day. And he didn’t have to pay for anyone’s plastic surgery. Mike heads off to Colombia and gets a lukewarm reception from Ximena.

Ximena could care less about Mike. And she admits she’s lost that loving feeling. Cut to Mike trying to wake up a hung-over Ximena the next morning. She admits she didn’t roll in till 9 AM. But in her culture, it’s no big deal she says.

Mike is a lot of things. But he’s not this stupid. He should stop holding in his gas and hop a jet plane.

Jasmine Pineda even grabs his hat right off his head. She reveals a patch of hair he’s clinging to in the back. She also says she can publish some private pics of him.

But it wouldn’t be anything to brag about. Production intervenes as things escalate. And Gino is relieved when he places a backup cap on his head.

The next morning, Jasmine Pineda can’t find her purse. So, she has to go back to Gino’s bungalow. He’s weepy and sad. And says he’s lost her.
