I don't watch it, but there are endless commercials about it.

 

Please tell me that no one actually believes this stuff is true!  That it is basically a work of fiction.

@hyacinth003  Reality Tv 90 day shows are pure entertainment and no reality at all.  

Most of the people hired to do the shows  are low class out of work  actors/ entertainment wanna bes in their countries... as are the people from the USA who do the shows.  It is all fake.

 

If anyone who thinks these people are for real and the shows are REALITY  are not the sharpest knife in the drawer😄

Reality shows are cheaper than hiring actors so since there is no real evidence that this is not reality, I do not believe these matches are not real!  From what I understand  I have found that most are real  relationships but some of the couples are given incentives and talked into staying together for the show and the drama is orchestrated  in a way to make the real issues more dramatic!  There have been advertisements looking for couples who want to marry and go through the 90 day process.  Also, a neighbor of mine who uses spokeo to find former classmates actually looked up the names and did find these are actually real people going through this process.

I watch it all the time....my guilty pleasure.  Many times "Pillow Talk" is better. I think quite a bit is scripted (and fake) but they are currently casting for a future show so the cast members are definitely real and it can be a money-maker for them with spin-offs, acting, etc...

 

For giggles, I joined two facebook groups...one for Sister Wives and one for 90 Day Finance.  The fights and nastiness is quite amazing and amusing.  Also, some of the cast members are in these FB groups.  They remind me of QVC groups prior to moderation.

I'm sure its scripted especially when the current couples parents make or ask these outrageous questions!!!  

 

But, I will say I had to call a airline for rebooking purposes and I almost met my Mr. Right (remember that's how Jennie met Sumit) he was from Thailand and commented oh looks like you like to travel I do too!!! Funniest thing I played along and he told me he would love to come to the US ... I bet he would!!!

 

It's all just for fun but 90 day is my "guilty pleasure" and "pillow talk" David has had a ton of plastic surgery & obviously, it didn't work ... maybe he should try "gastric surgery".  Annie is kinda out there now!  

 

Then you see some of these couples who get along fine ..or maybe they are semi-normal!!!

I have a nephew that did a 90 day fiancé marriage . He married a girl from Brazil that he met there on a trip for his work . He has a doctorate in the study of diseases and treatments , she is a doctor and is in the process of getting licensed here in the states . Apparently it takes a couple of years , she is a Resident at this time so nearly completed. They are a great couple. So different from the ones they picture on " 90 days "  .  Wish they would put on some successful people !

I think Loren and Alexie are a  normal couple.  I looked them up and everything seemed on the up and up from what I read.  I think she is pregnant again.  They get along great too.

 

David has had gastric bypass surgery... I don't know what happened there.  He also had hair transplants.  They also get along great.

 

Tim and Veronica are a "used to be" couple.  I like them both on Pillow Talk.

 

I love the two guys last night.  I wish they could be on permanently.  They are funny.

@sophiamarie  I love Kenny and Armando too. Kenny's got a really dry sense of humor. I loved his comeback remark about the firewood scene in Oklahoma, "I love picking up wood too!" So funny...
