Reality TV fans either love the 90 Day Fiancé franchise or hate it. For those who love it, it’s one of the wackiest and most addictive shows on TV. The series follows international couples pursuing the K-1 visa, which gives them 90 days to get married after arrival to the U.S. Naturally, this makes for some good TV. It’s even spawned a slew of spinoffs, including 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, in which Americans leave everything to go to live with their beloved overseas....

90 Day Fiancé is one of the guiltiest of pleasures in the world of reality television. As most of us watch the show, we try to picture exactly how we would deal if we were in the same position as the cast members. For those of you who haven’t seen the TLC Docu-Series, 90 Day Fiancé follows multiple couples who have applied for or even received a K-1 visa, which is available to foreign fiancés of American citizens....

90 Day Fiancé and its many spinoffs have produced some of the most unpredictable relationships in reality television.

After 90 Day Fiancé premiered on TLC back in 2014, viewers have gotten to know many couples as they navigate the K-1 visa process - in order to move their international love to the United States to be together....

Meanwhile, recent social media statistics highlight that over 50% of consumers follow brands directly to stay updated on brands....

Unlike reality TV shows, which have bad rap due to shows like Keeping up with the Kardashians featuring a heavily scripted format that has convinced people this genre isn’t actually “reality,” 90 Day Fiancé identifies itself as a documentary which has a format reminiscent of a reality show gimmick. The show features a 90-day progression between two couples who have met abroad and details how these two cope with one another in the US....
