The 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort Season 2 has been off to a rocky start, but there's one star I'm really starting to enjoy. The newest season of The Last Resort introduced six new 90 Day Fiancé couples all on the verge of ending their relationship.For Season 2, the couples are staying in a resort in Arizona where they'll participate in therapy and various activities designed to strengthen their relationships. The current cast seems to be in a worse spot than Season 1.
A handful of couples are being accused of cheating. Meanwhile, other stars are not willing to be intimate with their partners or are not ready to expand their families. However, while some couples are struggling to understand the purpose of these activities, there is one star, Julia Trubkina, who seems to be making progress in a slightly unconventional way. In the past, she's been known for her jealous attitude and snarky ways towards her husband's mother, but the star seems to have made some drastic changes since last being on the show.
'The Last Resort's Julia Is Accountable

A quality rarely seen in the franchise is accountability. The stars are often quick to point fingers at each other and refuse to take responsibility for their actions. The Last Resort is no different. If anything, the couples tend to be more stubborn and struggle with being vulnerable. However, right from the start, Julia took a different route. After a heated argument with Natalie Mordovtseva on a past Tell All, the two have been at odds. Natalie showed up at the resort, ignoring Julia.

However, Julia took the high road, pulled Natalie aside and apologized for her past behavior. Since they all had to be together, Julia thought it'd be better for them all to get along, and I was blown by this small yet grand gesture of compassion and accountability. I've noticed her accountability also extended to group therapy and her partner. After upsetting Brandon Gibbs by dancing proactively at a club, Julia remained accountable for her risqué behavior but also firm in explaining why her actions were crucial to her healing journey.
'90 Day Fiancé's Julia Sticks Up for Others
In The Last Resort, there's limited privacy. All the couples essentially work together in group activities and therapy sessions. As a result, this means couples have to be vulnerable with the other cast members. This also means that the other stars can interrupt or be rude, which happened in Episode 6. After a boat activity that was supposed to help the couples bond, they attended a group therapy session. Sophie Sierra opened up about her problems with Rob Warne only for Natalie to cackle and called her “lazy.” I thought Natalie was being rude and inappropriate.
I guess the counselors felt the same based on the way their heads kept swiveling back to Natalie's witch-like laughter. However, Julia also thought it was rude and, after a few minutes of Natalie's impolite behavior, she put an end to it. Julia stuck up for Sophie and told Natalie that the session wasn't about her. Far too often, stars go at each other and search for someone to blame other than themselves. This is how Natalie often acts. However, it was a fresh breath of air for me to watch Julia stick up to the other stars and make sure the session remained a safe space for all to feel comfortable enough.

Interestingly, the biggest issue between Julia and Brandon is their opinion on parenthood. Brandon wants children, while Julia claims she is not ready yet. However, based on what I've seen so far, I think Julia would make a much better mother than she thinks. Between her ability to be accountable, along with her empathetic and compassionate nature, I think she has the right qualities to create an amazing family. Julia has obviously had some pitfalls in the past, but it's evident that she's growing and maturing. I can't help but root for her more and more as the quick-witted Russian makes her mark on the franchise. 90 Day Fiancé and its spin-offs series air on TLC, and are available to stream on Max in the U.S.
In 90 Day: The Last Resort, five couples from the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, teetering on the brink of separation, embark on an intensive retreat to salvage their relationships. Guided by professionals, they confront deep-seated issues such as trust, intimacy, and jealousy through group therapies and unique activities.
