90 Day Fiancé

It's a show I like to watch because it makes me feel better to see people making worse life choices than I do.

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.

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'.

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.

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.
