90 Day Fiance: Kalani Defends Sister, Father Against Viewer Backlash

Even though Larissa made Colt’s mom cry on this week’s 90 Day Fiance, she’s not the only target for the wrath of viewers.


Kalani’s sister and her father have both been the targets of intense fan criticism over how they treated Asuelu in the episode.


So Kalani took to social media to defend her family. She also took her social media private to block out the haters.



Kalani does not have time for haters who are coming after her family.


On this week’s episode, Asuelu met Kalani’s family and began his uphill battle towards being accepted.


It didn’t help that he took Kalani’s virginity and impregnated her while she was on vacation.


(That’s not a way to start things off on the right foot with someone’s deeply Mormon family, folks)


But Kalani’s sister also resented his sudden intrusion into the family — and the fact that he had cheated on Kalani.


Kalani’s dad had … other, more complicated concerns.



First, Kalani defended her sister, Kolini, after fans gave her a hard time for resenting baby Oliver’s dad.


“My sister WAS Oliver’s dad for his first five months,” Kalani writes on Instagram.


“She watched him when I had to go back to work for Asuelu’s papers,” she says.


“She bought all of the s–t I didn’t get from my baby shower,” she adds.


Kalani continues: “and let me skip rent/bills when I had to buy his plane tickets for his interviews and doctor’s appointments.”


That is one hell of a supportive sister — and a supportive aunt.



Kalani makes it clear that Asuelu deserved some of her sister’s ire.


“Asuelu wasn’t paid in coconuts, dumbasses,” Kalani says of her baby daddy’s job.


“He made $ 600 American a month,” she shares. “With no bills.”


“As a sister, if you know you’re throwing downtime and money to help your nephew,” she says.


Kalani continues: “and know that the father isn’t helping in ways that he could — YOU’D BE SALTY TOO!”


Yep.



As we mentioned, things were a little more complicated for Kalani’s father.


Her dad didn’t want her to be with a Samoan man, which sounds racist until you remember that he himself is Samoan.


“You know how I feel about you being with my kind of people,” he told her on 90 Day Fiance.


“It’s just the way I was born and raised,” he said. “It’s a fast life here and it’s a slow life there.”


That sounds like internalized racism — when people absorb prejudices about themselves — and fans were upset.


Kalani says that some of her statements about her dad wanting her to be with “white men” were taken out of context.



(We absolutely had to include this — both Asuelu and baby Oliver’s first Halloween!)


90 Day Fiance is absolutely no stranger to scenes in which things were taken out of context.


We don’t think that Kalani thinks that white men offer more stability than Samoan men.


We hope that her father doesn’t really feel that way.


It is totally understandable that Kalani opted to make her Instagram private after dealing with all of that backlash following this week’s episode.


We all might wish that her family had been a little more open to Asuelu, but that doesn’t make them monsters.

Big Brother Spoilers: First Showmance, Viewer Vote Winner Revealed!

Big Brother Season 20 has gotten off to a rather lackluster start. 


With a bunch of new twists thrown in, the show is starting to feel like Big Gimmick instead of the show waste so many hours every summer watching when we should probably be doing other things that are way more productive. 



Julie Chen confirmed on Wednesday’s launch show that viewers would be able to influence the game more than ever this time around. 


Viewers are allowed to vote to give specific houseguests a good power or a dangerous power. Thanks to the lid being lifted on the live feeds on Thursday night, the game is starting to take shape. 


We learned that Faysal Shafaat received “Hamazon Delivery” app, and that’s by no means a good thing. He was gifted with a game-changing twist, and it could come at the expense of his tenure inside the house. 



The more troubling thing here is that Faysal barely got a moment on-screen in the two episodes that have aired so far, so it probably means the others have come across better. 


Will we get to see another side to him on the live feeds? Quite possibly. 


In any case, he is being force-fed meat boxes that are being delivered at a quick pace. It was originally supposed to be ham, but it was swapped out with vegan ham because of his religion. 


We are still awaiting confirmation on which houseguest won the extra dose of power this week, but based on fan reaction; it sounds like Sam could be the lucky victor. 



Ever since entering the game, she has been at a big disadvantage. She lost out in the first competition and was turned into a robot. This means that she is taken out of the house at times, and the houseguests can only communicate with her via a robot. 


This appeared to hurt her game Thursday night when the first HOH competition found the houseguests trying to throw her out of the competition by filling her tank with balls. 


In the end, Tyler emerged as the winner. He had a conversation with Sam and understood that she was having a tough time of it in the house. 


However, he rewarded her by throwing her up on the block alongside Steve, so there’s that. If one thing is becoming clear, it’s that there is no loyalty in the Big Brother house. 



As for the first showmance, that comes in the form of Chris “Swaggy C” Williams and Bayleigh Dayton. Bayliegh was the one who talked Swaggy (yes, the name is ridiculous!) down from his high horse after winning one of the first competitions. 


On Thursday night, the pair were flirting like crazy on the live feeds. Hell, at one point, Bayliegh even said that Swaggy would look good under her tree at Christmas. 


It’s risky getting that close to someone in the house so soon in the game, but we’re sure we will find out whether they have any lasting potential in the coming weeks. 



Okay, Big Brother fans!


We have the veto competition coming up, as well as the winner of good app. 


What are your thoughts on the first round of spoilers?

POTUS Interrupts Bachelor in Paradise, Incurs Viewer Wrath


It"s been a rough few decades weeks for Donald Trump.


First, the country wondered whether he was racist because he didn"t denounce the violent, hate-filled words and actions of White Supremacists in Virginia.


Then, he made an embarrassing spelling error – twice! – on Twitter.


On Monday night, though, the President hit rock bottom.


Because he a vague escalation of the war in Afghanistan, with no defined objection or clear path to victory? Maybe, to some.


But ABC interrupted the latest episode of Bachelor in Paradise to air this primetime address…and viewers were PISSED!
