GINO and JASMINE
Gino admitted he was excited but also nervous to take part in the Tell-All. Jasmine joined the special remotely from Panama City, Panama.Jasmine said Gino looks so handsome without a hat, better in fact, and he begged him to take it off on-camera. Gino, however, wasn't going to budge.
Shaun congratulated the couple on their engagement, and Jasmine flashed her engagement ring.
When asked to reveal their formal plans, Gino said he had a K-1 visa in process. He had submitted the paperwork to immigration and was in "the sixth" month of waiting for it to be approved.

Jasmine said while she may be "crazy," she's a "good crazy."
Kim called Jasmine "a little much," but Jasmine insisted she had been nothing but transparent with Gino.
Jasmine said she worried "all the time" about Gino cheating on her, but Gino didn't understand why and insisted he had never been unfaithful to her.

"What about lying? Because in my eyes, that's cheating," Jasmine said.
Shaun asked if Gino had sent a DM to anybody in the cast, and Gino replied, "No."
"What about to Benjamin's friend Jessica?" Shaun asked.

"Have you messaged her?" Shaun asked.
"No," Gino responded.
Shaun asked for clarification on whether Gino and Jessica had any communication at all, and Jasmine jumped in suspicious.
"Why is Shaun asking you these questions?" Jasmine questioned, before swearing. "The truth always prevails, so confess right now... I want to hear it from you."
Gino replied, "I don't know... I think she messaged me, 'Hi,' and I responded back, 'Hello, how are you?'"
Shaun called Gino out for lying about having communicated with Jessica at all, and Jasmine broke down into tears. Jasmine said she had never cheated on Gino or disrespected him and she was "sick and tired" of him playing "the nerdy, the naive" while repeatedly hurting her.
Shaun then shared Gino and Jessica's DMs, and they started with Gino reaching out to the blonde beauty.
"Hi Jessica! I have to ask out of my curiosity. But are you Sicilian?" Gino asked, before adding an emoticon of a smiley face wearing a cowboy hat.
Jasmine declared how Gino was going to be in big trouble, and she immediately took her engagement ring off after reading the first message.
"Lol I'm not," Jessica responded. "But my husband is very Italian."
Gino insisted Jessica had originally reached out to him first with a "hello," and so Shaun asked him to show the evidence. Jasmine asked Gino to show the proof, but Gino said he didn't have the message.
Gino said he never cheated on Jasmine and was not hitting on Jessica, but Jasmine yelled, "I will never be respected by you, Gino. It's never your fault!"

A never-before-seen clip then aired of Gino having masturbated before hanging out with Jasmine later that day. Jasmine considered Gino "playing with his pee-pee" cheating.

"Gino prefers masturbating than making love to me," Jasmine announced.
"No, it's not true," Gino said.
Jasmine said there was no problem with Gino's performance and she enjoyed making love to him. However, she said there issue was the "quantity."
Jasmine claimed she and Gino had sex only one time when he last visited her in Panama.
Jasmine said she did Gino's laundry and knew what was going on, but Gino said she wasn't seeing what she thought she was seeing.
Jasmine asked Gino to admit he liked masturbating more than having sex with her, and she said she'd be okay with being next to Gino for something like that so she could at least be a part of the equation.
Gino also believed he and Jasmine had sex more than once during his last visit.
But Jasmine asked, "Why you punish me with sex? If you know that I am in love with you [and sex] with you is so freakin' good. I love it, Gino! I love it! I'm vegan, but I want your freaking meat! Give me the meat! I want it. I'm 35 and I shouldn't be begging a man for sex!"
Gino said he wanted to improve the situation and argue less and that Gino being "so unsexy" was actually attractive to her -- including his body and belly.

On the fact Gino had paid women to accompany him on dates, Jasmine accused Gino of having paid $300 a night to sleep with some of his sugarbabies.
Gino said he only bought dinner for the sugarbabies and didn't pay for sex, but he repeated, "This is my past... I've probably been on less than five [dates]."
Jasmine argued Gino had been on a minimum of 30 dates, but Gino said the dates were just friendly and for companionship. Gino said some of the women were looking for more than just dinner but he was never interested in taking things that far.
Gino then revealed he and Jasmine had met on a sugarbaby website, where Jasmine's friend had uploaded her photo for dating internationally. Jasmine said she had no idea what that website was about.
MIKE and XIMENA
Gino wondered if Ximena was trying to get a green card and come to America.Ximena joined via videochat from Pereira, Colombia.

When asked to reveal the status of his relationship with Ximena today, he announced, "We were able to work it out, and today, we're back together."
"Way to go, Mike!" Gino said.
Shaun admitted she wasn't expecting to hear that news.
USMAN and KIM
Kim admitted she was nervous to participate in the Tell-All because things she had seen from other couples concerned her. She therefore wasn't looking forward to seeing Ximena or Ella.ADVERTISEMENT
Ben also accused several 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days women of crossing their partners' "personal boundaries of human dignity."
"I just want to know if [the guys] are willing to stand for themselves. It's going to be interesting," Ben told the cameras.
Ben told Kim that she had come onto Usman too strong and if a woman did that to him, it would be "a turnoff."
"If Usman likes that sort of thing, all the power to him. But it seemed like he didn't," Ben admitted.
Ben essentially called Kim a predator, comparing her to a gazelle hunting a lion, and Kim lost all respect for him in that moment and said she didn't like that. Kim said viewers had only seen a part of her and she just went for what she wanted as a woman in her fifties.
Kim said she and Memphis had become very close, and Memphis stood up for Kim when Ben called her a predator. Memphis pointed out how there was a double standard considering Ben had been dating much younger women and Usman is much younger than Kim.
When asked how their dynamic has changed since becoming official boyfriend and girlfriend, Kim shared, "Since I've been back, things have been a little [off]. I don't talk to him as much."
Usman said he didn't think they had any problem, and then Shaun asked Kim to confirm whether she'd be okay with Usman having a second wife and welcoming kids with that other woman.
"I don't really know, to be honest," Kim replied. "I feel like if him and I were to get married, I am 51 years old and I don't want to have any more children. I can't... and I feel like I would be selfish if this man couldn't have children. It's his culture... to carry on his name."

But Kim said she and Usman hadn't even discussed marriage yet and so talking about children was totally premature.

Usman announced how he'd never love another woman the way he loved Kim but having a child is important to him.
"I know that," Kim conceded.
Kim said if Usman welcomed children with another woman, it wouldn't be cheating because he wouldn't be lying about it and they would have a mutual respect. Kim said if Usman had really cheated on her, their relationship would be over.
Kim's son Jamal then walked onstage, and Shaun asked Jamal how he felt about Usman potentially becoming his stepdad.
Jamal said calling Usman his "stepdad" would be really weird because Usman could be Kim's son based on their age difference.
Jamal wasn't sure about Usman's intentions, and he admitted, "I couldn't sit here and say I wouldn't disrupt the wedding. Y'all's relationship is a little mysterious... and strange."
Jamal said Kim had been taking advantage of before, and he criticized the fact Kim had gifted Usman with a MacBook as well as an expensive Playstation 5.
"And she managed a lot for him there. So I don't know if he wants an assistant or a girlfriend," Jamal said. "I don't know. He doesn't f-cking cut it straight."
Shaun therefore asked Jamal if he thought Usman was "playing" his mother, and he responded, "Uhh, I think it's two different types of love. I think my mom is in love with Usman, and I think he loves the idea of my mom."

Jamal told Usman that it wasn't cool to have called Kim his "potential."

Jamal told Usman it was "f-cked up" to have lied to Kim about Zara, but Usman said he wasn't in a relationship with Kim at the time he was involved with Zara.
Kim said finding out that Zara was a woman from his past was like a slap in her face and she never would have pursued Usman had she known he was dating somebody else.
"But I was not with her at the time [we started dating]," Usman insisted. "To me, I wasn't thinking I was doing anything wrong."
Jamal wished Usman would just own up to his mistakes, and then Shaun shocked Kim with footage of Usman videochatting with Zara once Kim left Tunisia and flew back to the United States.
"You called her?!" Kim asked Usman while the Season 5 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days footage was playing.
Kim watched Usman ask Zara if she missed anything about him, and Kim called the footage "humiliating." Kim also learned in that moment that Usman had been considering getting back together with Zara and felt confused about what to do.
"That's f-cked up," Jamal said.
"That's really f-cked up," Kim agreed.

Jasmine said she wanted to cry for Kim, who confirmed that she had no idea about Usman and Zara's conversation.
Usman asked Kim to calm down and to stop crying because he "would never cheat," but then Kim asked for a minute and left the stage.

BEN and MAHOGANY
Ben said he was "freaking out" on the inside and had no idea if Mahogany was going to show up. He wasn't sure she was ready to "take the bullets."Mahogany participated via videochat from Peru, and Ben admitted their relationship had ended in "disaster."
The last time they had spoken was the previous night.
ELLA and JOHNNY
Ella said she was really excited to meet everybody, but at the same time, she was the only cast member who wasn't able to meet her significant other in-person.She therefore felt "sad" and worried about the cast members attacking her for her "animalistic" moment of weakness.
"Johnny is an amazing man, and I did him wrong," Ella admitted.
