"Our entertainment tonight is called a Sintren. It's our cultural, Javanese tradition."

After seeing the dance performance, James was impressed by the "unique sound" of the Indonesian orchestra. Apart from singing, their wedding ceremony also incorporates different cultural dances, including one called Bidadari. The 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way cast member described the performers' voice as "out of this world." While praising the talent of the singers and the orchestra, he said:

Ad
"It is a very unique sound, to say the least. I don't even know how to do it but they're hitting tones with their voices that are just like out of this world. And I'm not sure the tones are necessarily supposed to have ever been hit by humankind, but it's special."

However, James expressed concerns about a dance in which a girl was put "in a cage" and then "transforms" after smoke erupted. He explained the dance stating:

"And then apparently, they take a virgin girl, put her in a cage after tying her up, and then there's a lot, a lot of smoke. And then she transforms or changes outfits inside the cage. And she dances around in a trance while being possessed by an angel."

All previous episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way are available on TLC. Upcoming episode 18 is available exclusively on TLC on Monday, October 28, 2024, at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
