Everyone has a guilty pleasure - mine just happens to be 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? on TLC, Sunday nights (repeated throughout the week.)

It has everything – sex, insinuations, jealousy and someone who smells. Couples arguing, making up, making out, marking up their significant other's cars. It's cringe-worthy and delicious at the same time. The show's shock and awe premise is based on couples who must marry someone they've met from another country in 90 days, or their special "K-1 fiance visa" is revoked and the partner is sent packing.

There are cultural differences and money woes and relatives who have absolutely no filters when dissing out the new mate. Finger-pointing (literally – one newly minted groom is warned that "in America, we don't wave our fingers in people's faces") and family feuding set the standards for each episode.

Personally – I think all the players are pretty brave as the couples share the most intimate of details and face the most awful of bullying and criticism not only on social media (you can actually feel the steam coming from some of the rants!) but from their own relatives as well.

Award-winning soap operas can't come up with the plotlines – there's Jorge, a helplessly in love pudge of a guy whose married to a nasty young thang from Russia named Anfisa who has artificially induced cupid-bow lips and an attitude that would scare Trump. Think of a truckload of feral cats and you get the picture. Then there's the sultry Chantel and her new hubby, Pedro, who wrote the book on chauvinism and his constant haranguing that "a son takes care of his mother first!" while paying for a lavish lifestyle for his family back home, yet sees no problem putting his beautiful wife bottom of the list. I scream at the TV every time I hear him say "no, baby!" with a menacing glare. Russ – who is a walking caricature for the word bland – is married to the incredibly sexy Paola from South America – who wants to model and doesn't understand why her hubby's upset when she poses topless and with a thong. I personally root for Loren and Alexei – he's from Israel and is one of the most salt-of-the-earth types, married to a tiny, fragile women who was demonized on social media for acting like a coke-head – turns out she suffers from Tourette Syndrome, and is set to become a national spokesperson. I kinda like them because they're trying to make their lives normal on a very abnormal show.

I'm saving the best for last – 40-something Danielle, a frumpy slob of a woman with the weirdest facial expressions who married 28-year-old Mohamed from Tunisia. This – OMG! – is not to be believed, but you see the whole mess unravelling right before your eyes with tears and character assassinations and Mohamed revealing for all to hear that he couldn't make love to his wife because she "smelled." Initially, everyone booed for Mohamed as a heartless piece of work who used Danielle to get into the U.S., legally. Well, I saw when he set eyes on her at the airport when he first arrived – and blanched. Did he marry for the green card? Who cares! He's put up with a snivelling stalker who has harassed him with hundreds of emails and calls, followed him across the country, called all his friends, and threw stuff at him. He had to finally get a RESTRAINING order against her. Plus...she gets this really creepy smirk on her face when she lobs another insult at the hapless Mohamed who has been vilified for having arrived, married - and didn't consummate the marriage until three months later.

How will it all end? Will Anfisa stop acting like a high-paid hooker and settle into boring mediocrity with poor Jorge? Will Chantel tell Pedro "No Baby!" once and for all to his selfish demands – and send him packing back into the arms of his demanding mama? Will Russ grow a pair and stop whining about his beautiful wife posing like a Playboy bunny and let her have the career she married him for?

And lastly - will Danielle finally succeed in getting Mohamed deported because "Mohamed not sleeping with me is proof that he was not here for the right reasons and he was getting sex from someone else," she said in her confessional.

You can't make this stuff up. But you can tune in next Sunday for more adventures of the unbelievably married!
