‘90 Day Finance’ Exclusive: Kimberly Explodes At TJ In ‘The Other Way’ Sneak Peek
The race to the altar is getting closer on TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. At least, that’s the idea.
On the next episode, airing Monday July 24 at 8/7, bride-to-be Kimberly makes the long trek from Alabama to Jaipur just days before she and her no-longer-long-distance love, TJ, are set to tie the knot in a traditional Indian ceremony.
But it remains to be seen if that plan is still a go after the 30-year-old clairvoyant arrives in what is meant to be her new homeland and finds her the accommodations completely unacceptable.
In a sneak peek for the upcoming episode, shared exclusively with Forbes.com, the couple’s future suddenly seems less-than-certain when Kimberly has a meltdown upon seeing the apartment her 33-year-old fiancé had built for them.
The problem? Practically everything.
The unfinished residence simply hasn’t been built to the standards Kimberly expected—from the incomplete baseboards to the doorways of varying heights to the abode’s lone toilet, which faces a huge window—and she wastes no time telling her betrothed all about it.
As she lists the many problems around her, TJ first tries to calm her concerns, telling her, “That’s why I always say that, once you come here, if you want to change the things, it will be under your supervision.”
But when he leaves the apartment to go get her luggage, it becomes clear that his words did nothing to calm her rising dissatisfaction.
“I hate this, they half-assed everything, and it’s done very poorly,” Kimberly complains while the camera run. “I think that they ripped him off. I think that they didn’t do a good job. I made specific requests, and they weren’t followed through on.”
TJ returns to even more complaints and finally snaps back.
“I didn’t hire people from New York or something,” he says. “Theses are rural people. If they make it happen in two months, I’m grateful for them.”
He considers her woes to be nitpicking, calls it all “destructive” and recommends that she relaxes—something she says isn’t possible.
“I’m trying to relax, but I couldn’t even f—ing pee because you left that doorway wide open,” Kimberly tells him, gesturing towards the bathroom. “There’s not a curtain over there, so I can’t freakin’ pee.”
She has a point there, but according to both of them, their biggest problem isn’t peeing in private. It’s a lack of respect.
TJ believes she should have shown more respect to him, even if she had to “pretend” that things looked OK. Meanwhile she believes he could have shown her respect by making sure there was nothing to complain about.
“It’s the fact that you don’t respect what I’m doing,” she shouts. “I’m leaving everything behind to be with you, and and you can’t follow through on this one thing for me.”
TJ counters, “I’m not your servant, for your kind info.”
The emotional clip closes with Kimberly getting in a shocking kast word, saying, “No, you’re supposed to be my partner, and you’re failing at it.”
