Season 3 of 90 Day: The Single Life was full of messes and twists, including multiple not-so-ex spouses.
It is no surprise that the Tell All had tears and brand new conflicts almost immediately.
Part 1 of the Tell All covered a lot of Natalie and Josh’s drama.
It also delved into Veronica’s breakup with Justin.
But when Tiffany updated everyone on what had gone down with Ronald, he became seriously enraged.
He punched the camera, shattering the lens. That is not okay.
“A beautiful day … for the hell”
Natalie Mordovtseva puts on a bright face, but she admits that she expects to get a lot of hate. That has certainly been her experience on past Tell All specials.
Tim and Veronica
Veronica Rodriguez may be the “official” cast member on Season 3, but Tim is both her bestie and her connection to the franchise in the first place. But Veronica admits that she has felt downright sick to her stomach in recent days, leading up to her first Tell All.
Debbie is back!
After spending many months in Canada, Debbie Johnson arrives at the Tell All. She admits that things are pretty different. Adjusting to life in another country — at 70, no less — has put a strain on her new relationship at times.
Caesar Mack
It sounds like he has more to share than the details of a disappointing breakup. In the mean time, before the Tell All formally begins, we see him painting the nails of a castmate. Specifically, Tania.
Tania Maduro is SO ready
She notes that it’s been long enough since her split with Syngin Colchester that she feels much more open to what comes next. That’s vague but clearly very positive.
And then there’s Tiffany
Tiffany Franco just spent several months in South Africa, trying to determine if her marriage to Ronald Smith is salvageable. These months were “exhausting,” which we can more than understand. Tiffany is fully prepared to share her experiences with her on-again, off-again husband.
Natalie gets some bad news
A producer gives her a heads up: both Mike and Josh will appear at the Tell All, and both will appear together in Natalie’s segment. Natalie is clearly annoyed. It’s unclear why she didn’t expect this all along.
How are their “single” lives these days?
Tania shares that it’s been several months since she last boned. Debbie admits that she had a 14-year dry spell, but is “very happy” now. And Natalie, when prompted by production, confesses that she saw Josh just last night. Tania speaks to the camera about how Natalie is a sweetheart but sorely in need of therapy. We tend to agree. Meanwhile, Tiffany says that Natalie is “a sweet girl” but admits that she’s “f–king weird.” Yeah.
On the Tell All stage
The beautiful Tell All host, Shaun Robinson, greets the cast and the audience and they begin. First, she has another person to invite onto the stage. The seating arrangement already betrays who that will be.
Tim Malcolm … and those pants
Never shy to make a fashion statement or to verbally speak his mind, he joins his ex and bestie Veronica on that little loveseat. But they’re not the first in the hotseat.
“Are you and Mike completely over?”
Natalie replies: “I wouldn’t say that.” She is then evasive about where things stand with Josh. Shaun graciously moves on to Debbie, who speaks about being so far from Colt and adapting to life in Canada. Shaun touches base with Caesar, with Tiffany, and with Tania.
Josh joins them on stage
He clarifies that he has a condo in Los Angeles, where Natalie is considering moving. But she won’t be moving in with him. Not yet. Debbie asks Josh why they stayed in a hotel if he has a home in the city. Honestly, that seems self-explanatory. Hotels are safer places for hookups (relatively speaking). They’re romantic. And someone else cleans them.
Shaun puts him on the spot
What exactly is their relationship status? Josh is evasive, mentioning how they are “talking more.” He doesn’t say that Natalie is his “girlfriend.” Veronica points out that Natalie is moving across the country but he won’t even give her that label. Then again, Natalie is married, and not prepared to say that things are fully over with Mike.
What’s the deal with Mike?
Natalie says that she likes the “security” of her continued marriage to Mike. She insists that she and her still-technically-husband still talk regularly. And, as Natalie often does, she becomes flustered and defensive under the briefest questioning. Tim asks Josh if this is the “same answer” that he always gets. It is.
Girl, you need to choose
Tim reminds Natalie that she can’t do this to Mike and Josh. It’s not just that she has to choose, but that she has to pick one and give him her attention. (We’re all for polyamory, but it has to be consensual, so we fully agree)
Natalie storms off
It’s unclear why exactly Tim’s very sensible advice had Natalie stomp off of the Tell All stage. Hey, maybe editors are doing her dirty and left out context. But … generally, Natalie gets extremely defensive, or shuts down and is silent while making strange facial expressions, or leaves. The things that prompt her to take these actions do not always make sense.
Josh reveals that Natalie messaged one of his employees
She apparently contacted someone who works with him in a message loaded with “insecurity.” Oh, and she shared aspects of their sex life. Josh told her that she can never do this again. Natalie returns to the stage and initially avoids answering Shaun’s questions about the inappropriate message.
According to Natalie, it was all about an unflattering photo of her that Josh had shared
He posted an Instagram Reel of their second date (ugh, Reels are kind of a red flag, especially coming from a grown man, but whatever). Apparently, several people reposted the video, with one of Josh’s employees commenting that he could do better or had other options. That, apparently, is what had Natalie slide into her DMs to scold her about the post and to tell her about her relationship with Josh. Out of line? Probably. But it’s not exactly as one-sided as Josh had led the cast to believe. Meanwhile, Josh wishes that he had a mute button for Debbie.
Natalie just has to figure out what she wants
Shaun plays a clip of Natalie’s trip to Sequim to see Mike. For some reason, this reduces Natalie to tears. The Tell All takes a short break, during which Josh fumes over his dislike of Debbie.
Up next: Tim and Veronica
Tim stands by his baffling decision to straight up interrupt Veronica and Justin’s first date, insisting that it would have been a “mistake” for Veronica to bone the guy that night. That’s super weird. Anyway, Justin — to whom Veronica has not spoken since she broke up with him — participates in the Tell All remotely.
Don’t be weird, Justin
Unfortunately, he decided that the first thing out of his mouth would be to shade Tim over his vibrant pants. Extremely awkward. Justin could have just sat there and been handsome and gotten away with almost anything. Of course, “it sounds like you two will be very happy together in Florida with your kids” is shady as well, and that’s how Veronica broke up with him. It’s the breakup version of “good luck with Sharknado 18 or whatever.”
Why didn’t Justin tell Veronica about Florida before they hooked up?
Several members of the cast believe that he just wanted to have a good time getting laid with a hot MILF and maybe appear on reality TV, and wasn’t looking for a genuine relationship.
Tanie notes that Justin was good looking
She doesn’t say this until he has said his farewells. Veronica also acknowledges that Justin was a certified hottie. They’re right, but hotness is not the be-all and end-all of relationships. Obviously.
Now, it’s Tiffany’s turn
Carley is growing up quickly. And Daniel, a fan-favorite, is almost a teenager. But as for Tiffany’s often-troubled marriage to Ronald Smith, things are complicated. Tiffany has trouble even identifying their relationship status. She also acknowledges that she and Ronald both began seeing other people — but Ronald went first. It was a “surprise.” Remember when Ronald posted pics of his girlfriend? That’s how Tiffany found out that he was dating, too. Right along with the rest of us.
Ronald doesn’t want to talk about it
He says that he and Tiffany have an “agreement” to not discuss that time. “That hurts enough,” he says. Veronica points out that this is “very convenient for the one causing all the pain.” Exactly. Exactly.
Tiffany spent months in South Africa, did nothing wrong, but Ronald f–ked up everything
How? She found out that he was not only still talking to the ex-girlfriend (make that ex-mistress), but also getting money from her. This was after a month in South Africa together.
It gets worse
Also? Tiffany says that Ronald took her debit card and stole $250 so that he could go gamble. Ronald accuses Tiffany of “lying.”
Tiffany says that she’s not going to keep taking this treatment
“F–k you then!” Ronald declares. He stands up angrily and punches the camera, which then breaks. The cast soaks up this stunning display of alarming behavior from a clearly troubled man. But will this be the wakeup call that Tiffany needs to actually end the toxic marriage?
