I do like this show but it's one of those tv programs that aggravates you so much, you could just turn the tv off and never watch it. That's how annoying it is.
First off, as someone who's a child of an American & a foreigner I am disgusted how most of the immigrants on this show are treated by the American families. I get the fact that you're protective of your family & want to protect them from "some foreign scammer". --NEWSFLASH--- not every foreign immigrant who comes to American is scamming you, is dirt poor, wants your money, wants to live off of you or wants your American jobs. It is customary to send money "back home" for many cultures once in America. It's taking care of your 1st family. My mom does it still & America has been her home for 20+ years. The level of snobbish ethnocentric attitude coming from these families is part of the reason other countries/cultures have a negative perspective of us as a whole. Never mind the fact that the people who came here for real genuine love are lonely AF, might feel depressed, have a language barrier & feel out of place when they move hundreds of miles from their own home.
Chantel's family is the most infuriating out of all people on the whole series. Yes, Pedro has made mistakes & done things in very bad taste (the fight) but initially, they gave this guy a hard time & continued to relentlessly harass him all with a smirk on their face. It's sickening to watch this family, including her passively aggressively attack him, knowing he can't prove it cause he'll look defensive & cause Chantel is playing both sides and barely defends him against her controlling family. I honestly pray he leaves her. I can't stand to watch them anymore, I just fast forward. It's laughable they have their own show too???
Why does this show continue to provoke by asking the wrong questions to the victims & not anything to the aggressors? TLC step it up. You used to be one of my favorite networks, but you're quality is going down hill from having trashy people on your shows. Smh.

Some of the past seasons were really entertaining, and many of the cast members were not clout chasers as they are today. Many of the scenes today are so heavily scripted that it insults our intelligence. This may be my last season of watching. Would like to see another network take a show like this back to a natural level of real people, and real problems. Not the outwardly manufactured garbage the show is now producing.

I don't review programming often. First and foremost, "reality TV" I hate to break it to y'all is mostly scripted and manipulated in post to fit the narrative the shows producers want. That being said, it's even more crazy they get these people to do it. I am in a state of bewilderment. I've never experienced a dialectic so strongly, my extreme level of embarrassment for these people walks hand in hand with my extreme level of intrigue a mix that left me uncomfortably comfortable. I've read that the subjects of these "reality" programs, do not receive compensation. (at least not from the producing network) I have thought about this more than I care to admit and I just can't figure out why anyone would participate on what is essentially a worldwide television show that makes the people participating look as bad as they do for our enjoyment. This is not a complaint however because it is unnervingly captivating. I can't shake the feeling that there couldn't possibly be this many ignorant, oblivious walking cringe emitters and its all an act... but that is another reason I ended up watching the whole damn series, because I wanted to catch them slipping and pull a Truman show gotcha.

It's a show I like to watch because it makes me feel better to see people making worse life choices than I do.
People wanting an ideal with not understanding much about their partner they met briefly, and not knowing themselves either
I mean, I get that it's their choice, but I still feel like a pervert when I see footage from a camera that is recording, say, some couple's struggle with their first time having sex. I keep thinking that the main reason for the awkwardness of many situations in the show is because there is a ******* camera present. My viewpoint is strongly biased, because I am editing subtitles for the show, which means it's not my choice to see this thing. I'm seeing it because I have to. I felt the urge to let it be known what I think of the show - not because of the people that it shows, I have nothing against people who get married like that, nothing against interracial marriages, nothing against taking risks in one's love life. What I have a problem with is the fact that there exists a show that takes something that's in my mind supposed to be extremely private, intimate and special, and makes it a reality TV product with all its exaggerations and needless problematizations. And who in their right mind would let a camera in their bedroom... ever? Damn, it pisses me off...
This show should not exist. But I guess that that goes for many other reality shows out there.

There are several interesting things about this show. Finding out the motives of the people involved keeps you watching. Is the foreigner in it for the money, or is there true love involved? Seeing the different way people live is always interesting and this show has a lot of different characters. The entire process of getting a K-1 Visa is covered in 90 Day Fiance'.
I saw one episode of 90 Day Fiance by accident and i got hooked to the drama. Yes, it is overly dramatic and extra and useless, but there is something addicting too. I dont know how much of the show is written but sometimes its weird how much drama can a on couple have.
I've been watching this show 90-day fiance from day one. I used to be a very good show to watch not anymore. If a man abused a woman verbally the way Angela has abused her husband it wouldn't be tolerated. And Andre has broken the family up he's reprehensible Andre and Angela need to go or you are going to lose a lot of viewers. This is your rock bottom.
Felt compelled to leave a review, after having rated it 10 stars 🙂 Stumbled into this by chance beginning 2021 I believe. Totally addicted to it now. I watch everything that says "90 day fiancé". I don't even mind watching the seasons not in proper order, or even if I've already seen/read on social media what has happened up 'til now 😄😄😄

As much as I watch it and at times enjoy it, it's still amazing how Americans travel across the world for love which is fine and all, but OMG can you all PLEASE LEARN ABOUT THE CUSTOMS AND CULTURE OF THE PEOPLE IN THAT COUNTRY. Going away so far away for love is beautiful, but it's trouble some that the majority of them knows absolutely nothing about the country, which makes it so hard to communicate and understand each other. This is something that annoys me, because yes I am from a different country dating an American and at times I am amazed on how much he's so lost about my country and customs SMH. Word of advice please do your homework before you buy your ticket.

75% of these couples don't even last, I can't even count how many times the non-american literally states they're doing it to live in america, it's painfully obvious in a lot of the couples yet these americans are too stupid to realize it. Luckily it's not ALL the couples, but most. This show can be pretty entertaining but it's infuriating to see a lot of these americans being completely used, but sometimes they need to be to wake up and realize some sexy foreigner that's half their age doesn't ACTUALLY want to be with them. Don't let this discourage you however, as obviously there are still quite a few couples that aren't using each other in some way and end up lasting at least a couple years.

My go to show to watch while doing other things or just a brain dead day.
Sometimes I just need something playing in the background while crocheting, putting a puzzle together, doing chores or coming home tired after a stressful day at work. Even my fiancé didn't resist to this trainwreck of a show.
If you like gossip about people you don't know and want to feel better about your life choices, highly recommend. Some people just seem to have no idea how relationships and life work in general.
And the reunion in the final episode? Chef's kiss! So chaotic and entertaining.
Multitasking girlys, this one is for you ;)

Different motivations, cultural clash, conflicts, naivety and a too eccentric idea. That is all . A serie as a social experiment. Not real surprising but using too many ingredients of soap opera. The result - almost predictable. Because, from the first scenes, you know the traits of the end.

Betty, cut your hair. It's so 70s. So old fashioned and ugly. Straighten it. You have a strong, opinionated personality- you need to make yourself believable. Update.
Four seasons in, I just became aware of this show's existence. After watching two episodes, I think it is mostly sad.
The concept is that individuals from the U.S., who have a long-distance relationship with people they may not have met, get engaged. When their fiancees come to the U.S. on K-1 visas, they have 90 days to get married--or they have to leave the country, by law.
The trend in dating-for-marriage shows seems to be speeding up the process. "The Bachelor" gives its participants mere weeks to make a life-long connection. "Spouse House" requires participants to become engaged or risk being evicted from the house/show. "90-day Fiancé" uses immigration law to accelerate the ticking clock for its five couples.
What really makes this concept perilous for participants is the real and obvious risk of "catfishing". It is very much like offering someone money if they get married to a person they know very little about. Yes, there are declarations of love, but viewers can clearly see that some relationships are very suspect.
In the end, viewers get train wrecks or love stories, both of which are interesting viewing. There is also plenty of drama, based on the anxieties of the participants, which viewers feel vicariously.

I hate that most of the personal reviews I've read thus far have been mostly nit-picky and negative. Who is anyone to judge who we fall in love with whether an American citizen or not. There are sooo many other aspects to consider way beyond someone's citizenship status and if these couples met, got to know each other and fell in love then kudos to them. No different than any other relationship really. 90 Day Fiancé is just a show that points out the geographical and cultural differences tied to some time constraints with these four particular couples. Can't we just all agree to not judge their love? We all will either fall deeper in love or fall out of love - no matter the pairing. Time will tell. These lovely people have to figure this out for themselves and I personally admire the fact they're willing to try and have a lot of hope. This show is sweet and the couples seem sincere and very hopeful therefore, I remain hopeful for their success.

We have been loyal watchers since day one. Pillow Talk is better than the show. Love the former cast on Pillow Talk. Especially Veronica and Tim,Molly and her friend are hilarious too.
However the new cast are not so appealing. The guy who never takes off his hat is clearly gay which is probably why he needs little blue pills to go with the jealous nut bag plastic girl. I can't believe they let that soldier boy guy back on. He made it very clear last time he was on hes trying to get to the States to get his music out in the USA. He's not really that good and Kim is not playing with a full deck. She started crying talking about her past relationship with another foreigner and clearly she's doing the exact same thing again. Being used. She's to old for him and he's never going to be with her for anything other than a green card. He's got 20 something year old girls chasing him why would he want someone in their fifties, overweight and mentally clueless? These women are so stupid it's not even entertaining. Because of this we will no longer be watching the show.👋

10 stars for lots of laughs! Nothing is funnier than watching lying sexist hypocritical women who expect men to be more honest and upstanding than themselves -- talk about delusions of grandeur! I only wish it had been around in the '90s when social media didn't exist and every conversation began by asking a/s/l -- and if you know what that means, you know what I'm talking about!

My wife watches this garbage of a channel. I really thought TLC stood for The Learning Channel at one point, guess I was wrong. Between this, the spin-offs and My Big, Fat Fabulous life, it is nothing but narcissistic, mentally ill people. Instead, it finds the worst people so the viewers can collectively get angry at these disgusting people to feed our own ego. Such a toxic environment, but crap like this sells. Gave it 2 stars because Kenneth and Armando is a great story. Otherwise, I'd give it a 1 star. Where is that asteroid that is supposed to hit this planet?

I was watching the season with Jesse and Darcy. I can see why they didn't work out. From the time she stepped off that plane, all she was worried about was her looks. She sees Jesse and complains that she ruined a pair of "$1000" shoes. They go for a bike ride and she complained the whole time, they go out and he told her to wear comfortable shoes cause of the roads but she rather look cute, so she complained about walking, while they were riding bike she had to show off a diamond ring and say she bought so people would know that she wasn't single, at dinner, she brings up marriage. This is all on the very first day. For crying out loud Darcy, get to know the guy a little bit before you cram marriage down his throat. No wonder you are alone. You are trying to force Jesse to marry you the very first day. That's why the relationship didn't work. You are pushy, fake, needy, immature, all about you, stuck on yourself, manipulative and much more. You need to do some soul searching and make some changes.
The latest series has a trans woman(?) former man with bleached blonde hair and jumbo lips; a witch and her slimeball mexican boyfriend. Too much debauchery for my tastes. This latest season is the equivalent of the bud light /dylan mulvaney train wreck. (which by the way was the fall of bud light). I guess this show wants to suffer the same fate. There have always been people you like to watch and those you really do not want to watch , but this season is strictly a season of unwatchables. Last season (90 day the other way?) had the first trans woman who was a nice decent person, but this season-ug.
You can get hooked easily
Plenty of episodes and seasons so if you wanna see if this show is for you watch a complication of best moments that's a way to know if its for you
If it is then every moment and episode and most couples seem fun to watch
lots of fun and drama.
