Patrick Mendes, the younger brother of John McManus, won the ninth season of 90 Day Fiancé Tell-All. Many viewers criticized him for not defending John McManus. Patrick’s connection with Brazilian woman Thas Ramone was the family’s main plotline in season 9.
While the older brother was only a supporting character even though many series fans found John’s Tell-All antics to be immensely amusing. However, a lot of fans of 90 Day Fiancé prefer John to Patrick because Patrick didn’t stand up for his brother.
Patrick and John both experienced a difficult upbringing and have a convoluted past. The two brothers are very close, with vocal Bostonian John acting as his younger brother’s protector despite muscular Patrick’s outward appearance of strength.
90 Day Fiancé Tell-All Spoilers: Patrick Mendes won the ninth season
After divorcing his first wife, Patrick adored sharing a home with his brother, but Thas was terribly unhappy about it. Jibri Bell, another tumultuous cast member, reiterated the Brazilian woman’s demand that John vacates the premises during one of his many nasty outbursts at the Tell-All. Jibri seemed especially irate with John and Ariela Weinberg.
After admitting his errors and delightfully putting the obnoxious 90-Day Fiancé newcomer Jibri in his place, John emerged as the Tell-All champion. However, when Jibri constantly assaulted John and even said that he was trailer trash, many viewers were startled that Patrick didn’t stand up for his protective elder brother.
Reddit user u/here4cheeseanddogs wrote, “All I can is… if someone was coming for my sibling, especially which I endured trauma with & bonded with as an adult, I would speak the f**k up.” Numerous users concurred that Patrick let his elder brother down.
“Pat is all bulk and no bite. Patrick looked weak af,” u/judgmentHumble8319 posted before criticizing Patrick for bringing Jibri to his and Thas’ baby shower after Jibri attacked him.
Many viewers felt that Patrick, the newest member of the 90-Day Fiancé team, ought to have remained faithful to John. Especially because John made it abundantly obvious that he always had his brother’s back.
According to some users, Patrick let his entire family down by not calling Jibri out and by keeping up their friendship. Additionally, if he refers to John Trailer as garbage, u/micksies wrote, “Also if he’s calling John trailer trash then that’s talking sh*t on his whole family basically.”
Overall, Patrick’s quietness did not win over many 90-Day Fiancé season 9 viewers. John, on the other hand, received thunderous acclaim from both audience members and his cast mates for challenging Jibri.
Jibri’s antics horrified many viewers, who deemed him to be the worst aspect of the Tell-All. Due to their dull plotline, franchise fans are less interested in seeing Patrick and Thas remain in the series than they are in John. Many fans of 90 Day Fiancé want him to appear on Pillow Talk or 90 Day: The Single Life.
