But Angela was willing to forgive and forget. And Michael Ilesanmi was cleared to come to America.

Michael waits in the car while Angela goes in to greet her family. The grandkids are ecstatic to have their meemaw back. Skyla is skeptical about why Angela is still standing by Michael Ilesanmi.

90 Day Fiance: Jasmine Pineda Pleads for Gino Palazzolo’s Attention

Things got more ridiculous at the Miss International Universal Worldwide Pageant with the parade of costumes segment. Each lady dressed in a costume representing her native country.

Let’s hope no birds were harmed during the making of this pageant.

On 90 Day Fiance, Jasmine’s question is why she chose to compete. She says she’s been struggling since moving to America and needed something to boost her confidence. Later she admits that while on stage all she could hear was Gino’s nasally criticisms. Back in the hotel room Gino Palazzolo snivels that she did improve slightly. But Jasmine sobs and wants to know why he doesn’t want her in the bedroom. Gino admits to producers that he’s not attracted to Jasmine Pineda because of all their fighting. He even calls her ugly. Yikes.
