What 90 Day Fiancé DOESN'T Show You | Big Ed Tells All!

Initial Impressions and Challenges

• 💡 Big Ed met Rose in the Philippines, noting her beauty but also her bad breath, which he later attributed to a removable, uncleaned dental implant.
• 📌 He quickly realized the relationship would be temporary due to this issue, despite producers advising he'd know within two minutes.
• 🏠 Rose lived in destitute conditions in a cement room at her sister's house, lacking indoor plumbing and a proper door, which was just a flap of CD cases.
• ⚠️ Ed faced cultural shock and challenges during filming, including a sweat market, falling in a pig farm, and being attacked by monkeys.

Controversial Actions and Backlash

• 🎁 Ed's attempt to help Rose by giving her toothpaste and mouthwash led to significant backlash from feminists online, who accused him of being a "rotten American."
• 🩺 He also requested Rose take an STD test on camera, citing his desire not to contract a disease, which again drew criticism for being disrespectful.
• 💬 Ed questioned why women are allowed to critique men's aesthetics (e.g., clothing) but men are criticized for addressing issues like bad breath.

Relationship Dynamics and End

• 💔 The relationship ultimately failed because Rose desired more children, while Ed was concerned about the high cost of raising a child in America and her family's need for extensive dental work.
• 💰 Ed believed Rose was primarily "financially heartbroken" and sought a "golden ticket" to a better life in America, not necessarily a genuine romantic connection.
• 🇺🇸 He highlighted the significant financial responsibility involved in bringing someone to the US, as the sponsor is perpetually accountable for that person.

Life After 90 Day Fiancé

• 🌟 Despite the on-screen struggles, Ed became a household name and found significant financial success through Cameo, earning potentially $50,000 a week by doing 75-100 videos daily.
• 🎭 He initially disliked his portrayal on the show but later learned from a producer that his authenticity and "not knowing what he was doing" made him famous.
• 🌈 Rose also gained popularity due to her unashamed authenticity regarding her living conditions and later revealed she was bisexual, posting pictures with a girlfriend after the show.
