The 90 Day Fiancé Season 12 weddings are almost here, which means the highly-anticipated season finale Tell All is right around the corner. Ahead of the Tell All, Swooon sat down with Season 12 stars Marissa Rubinetti and Mallorie DeGrange, who teased everything fans need to know about the upcoming special.
This season of 90 Day Fiancé, fans met Marissa, a high-powered executive at Kleinfeld’s in New York City, and Mallorie, a Southern belle medical coder living in Alabama. Marissa and Mallorie have seen plenty of highs and lows with their fiancés, Edward Gomez and Rasit Kebabci, from the Dominican Republic and Turkey, respectively. The duo got candid about filming the Tell All, meeting the rest of the couples, and the one cast member everyone had some “choice words for.”
As a 90 Day Fiancé superfan, Mallorie was thrilled to confirm that longtime host Shaun Robinson will return for the Season 12 Tell All. Looking back at filming the special, Mallorie explained, “It was so surreal. I kind of felt like I was in The Matrix a bit.” She revealed, “When Shaun came out on stage, I was just like, ‘Oh my god, this is Shaun Robinson.’ I was just like, ‘Shaun, you’re way more beautiful in person than you are on camera.’ Even Rasit was like, ‘You are so beautiful.'”
Both cast members agreed that the cast formed an incredibly strong bond. Marissa spilled, “Mallorie and I have a really strong connection. She’s my girl. I was surprised about Ashia [Montgomery] because I thought that I wasn’t gonna connect with her, and she’s actually a really strong, beautiful woman. She’s super smart, and I connected well with her. I also didn’t think that I was gonna like Thomas [Dinto], and he and I actually have a pretty good connection.”
However, the connection Marissa believes will shock fans most is her bond with Catie Norboe. “I’ve, like, officially adopted Catie as my daughter,” she confessed. “I mean, she’s nutso. We all know it. She even admits it herself; she’s a little quirky, but when you get past all of the craziness that you see on TV, she is a really kind, sweet person. She just is a girl in her 20s that is just working out life, and I really appreciate her as a person.”
As for Mallorie, she claimed, “I think we all got along pretty well. I think we got along too well, some might say.” She added, “I think I’m closest with Marissa and Edward. I’m very close with Debby [Ronaldo], Catie, and Josh [Atkins]. Honestly, we all have a very good connection with each other. We’re all on this journey together, and we’re able to be a support system for each other, so that’s nice.”

According to Marissa, there are definitely some dramatic moments that fans can look forward to. “There are some emotional moments that I had with Edward.” She added, “There were some emotional times. I think that you’ll see some drama. I think that we all had some choice words from Mido [Fayed].”
That said, she teased that the biggest drama came from the guests that other couples brought in. “We had some interesting words back and forth with some of the guests,” she revealed. “It’s gonna be a good Tell All. You definitely need to watch, because there’s a lot of exciting moments.”
