Big Ed Looks Back on Showering with Rose's Dad — and a Rat — in 'Most Iconic Scene' in 90 Day Fiancé 'History' (Exclusive)

Big Ed has gotten himself into more than enough awkward situations, but there is one experience that stands out in particular Fiancé of 90 days star as particularly strange.

In the 4th season 90 Day Fiancé: 90 days ago, Big Ed (59) was engaged to Rosemarie, who was from the Philippines. During a visit to her home to meet her — and her family — for the first time, he takes a shower with her father and another uninvited creature, in what he calls an “iconic scene” in the show’s history.

“Probably the funniest part of this scene, believe it or not, is how much Rose enjoyed watching me suffer,” Big Ed told PEOPLE on “Reality Rewatch” while watching a clip of the episode that aired in 2020.

In the video, he was joined by Rose, who was 23, and her father as they showered in the basement of their house. Rose told him that it was normal for her family to shower together, and Big Ed was taken aback but agreed.

After a few minutes, he noticed a large rodent in the corner of the room and got scared. “I shower with my future father-in-law – and I shower with a rat.”

“And I even asked Rose, I say, ‘Is that a rat?’ She says, ‘It’s a mouse,'” he continues. “She thought it was a mouse! I’m like, ‘Shit, if it’s a mouse, we’re screwed.'”

“That was probably my moment where I said, God, I have to — I didn’t want to stay there another night,” he says of Rose’s family home.

“This was definitely the weirdest experience of the entire season — the shower with dad and the rat scene. And as I understand it, it’s the most legendary scene in TLC history — for Fiancé of 90 days.”

Big Ed’s trip to the Philippines marked his first meeting with Rose, who was 31 years his senior, and he proposed to her.

When he first saw where she and her family lived—in a house behind their store that was completely open to the outside—he had some major concerns.

“Upstairs, everything is open, and they don’t really have an entrance door, it’s just a kind of curtain made of paper CD covers. Everything is concrete with sheets hanging down, covering, I guess to make it more comfortable,” he said in the confessional. “I expected it to be pretty bad, but this is really bad.”
