When90 Day Fiancepremiered on TLC in 2014, its title invited confusion about its premise.
Was it a competition where people had 90 days to get married?
Was it about people who knew each other for 90 days?
So, last November,I crafted a 2,220 word guide to explain the nuances of the show.
In the time since I wrote that,90 Day Fiancehas aired four more spin-offs (Self-Quarantined,B90!
Strikes Back,Darcey & Stacey, andHEA!
How could one single guide capture this vast universe?
I turned directly to TLC for help.
They vetted and checked my lists.
They double-checked timelines and couple appearances.
They added new spin-offs and spin-offs best left forgotten.
(No one knows howJust Landedwas a thing!)
You cant just sit down and watch a season of90 Day Fianceto understand its hold on audiences.
You have to figure out what you want from the show and follow its flow accordingly.
Do you want emotional goodbyes and heartbreak?
Do you want Big Ed memes?
Are you just interested in a terrifying exploration of American exceptionalisms hypocrisies?
When it comes to90 Day Fiance, we all must choose our own journey.
90 Day Fiance:This is the original version of the show.
Its also the version of the show where Darcey,90 Day Fiances leading queen, reigns.
You watch people from90 Day Fiancewatch90 Day Fiance?
That is the entire premise of the show.
What Now:I am not one of the viewers that complains about how outrageous90 Day Fiancehas become.
I love the mess.
Well, thats whatWhat Nowis for.
Theres no real reason for it to exist and its pretty uncomfortable.
Yes, I watched it, but I have a problem.
Do you better watch Darcey attempt to give herself a manicure?
The Family Chantel:Pedro and Chantel seemed like a dream couple when they came on the90 Day Fiancescene.
They were both young, attractive, and genuinely bad communicators who made dumb mistakes that were great television.
But once they got their own show based in the U.S., the spark fizzled.
Pedro just seemed tired of all the drama.
Their parents just seemed interested in creating drama for a paycheck.
Chantel just had a vicious focus on revenge against family members whod previously embarrassed her.
So far, though, season two is definitely showing signs of improvement!
They make fun of themselves, reply to tweets, and defend themselves against jokes.
The same format then applies for couples recently featured onHappily Ever AfterandThe Other Way.
Couples fromThe Other WayandHappily Ever Aftertend to lack the theatrics of theBefore the 90 Dayscrew.
Anyway, I watch in the hopes that one of my tweets is read one day.
The shows second season renewal wasnt shocking, its honestly one of the best spin-offs in the franchise.
You cant help but root for Darcey, as everyone says: she just wants love.
Still, there are a lot of couples, so its best to pick an approach.
Maybe youve seenBig Edand you wonder, whats that all about?
Maybe youve heard someone say Babygirl Lisa and you have no idea what theyre talking about.
Why are these the90 Day Fiances most meme-able couples?
Despite everything making it clear that these people should not be together, they persist to great frustration.
They also gift us some of the best moments in the show.
Paul running into the woods after telling Karine his big secret?
Big Eds mayo hair?
Actually, it is the LEARNING Channel, so it is kind of educational …
This is the boring persons guide to90 Day Fiance.
What makes a couple on90 Day Fianceboring?
Romance, chemistry, and a well thought out plan.
They insist on watching the entire series and all of the seasons in something that approaches chronological order.
This is kind of difficult to do, but it is possible if you dedicate yourself.
I dont recommend this, but this is your journey.
