6 Casting Opportunities I Think The 90 Day Fiancé Franchise Is Missing (& Mistakes Its Making)

While I find 90 Day Fiancé and its spin-offs very enjoyable, I believe the network could improve them to make them even more entertaining. When I first watched 90 Day Fiancé in 2014, it felt like a refreshing change from other popular dating shows, such as The Bachelor. It appeared more relatable and authentic, showcasing a diverse cast and their unique stories. Over time, the network has expanded the 90 Day Fiancé franchise by releasing numerous spin-offs, including allowing cast members to share updates through a self-shot show called 90 Day Diaries.

Over the years, the network has expanded the franchise in significant ways. It introduced a spin-off called 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, which follows American cast members as they move to another country to marry their foreign partners. The network also created spin-offs, including 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?, which feature cast members and their journeys before the K-1 visa process and after the marriage, respectively. The network also released controversial shows, such as 90 Day: The Last Resort and 90 Day: The Single Life, increasing the drama.

690 Day Fiancé Should Cast More LGBTQ+ Couples

90 Day Fiancé Franchise Should Showcase Greater Diversity

One possible way for the network to improve the franchise is by casting a more diverse group of individuals. I'm not suggesting the network should bring in individuals like Josh Seiter, who is known for fabricating stories for attention. Instead, I recommend that the network cast couples like Armando Rubio and Kenny Niedermeier, who represent positive aspects of their communities and have compelling stories to share.

590 Day Fiancé Should Avoid Casting People Who've Been On Reality Shows Before

Some 90 Day Fiancé Cast Members Love Attention

I think the network should implement a strict policy regarding the casting of individuals who have previously appeared on reality TV shows. Many of these individuals are often motivated by fame, money, and attention rather than telling a genuine love story. I think authenticity is what sets 90 Day Fiancé apart from shows like The Bachelor and Love Is Blind.

Therefore, it would be beneficial for the network to refrain from casting ex-reality TV stars altogether. Additionally, it would be helpful for the network to limit the number of seasons in which alumni can participate. Preventing certain couples from exploiting the franchise by creating artificial drama woud help the show's quality and credibility.

490 Day Fiancé Should Expand The Countries Highlighted

90 Day Fiancé Fans Are Eager For Stories From Japan

I've noticed many viewers expressing the idea that 90 Day Fiancé would be improved by featuring new cultures and countries. According to a Reddit thread by @dandygirl88, some suggested examples include Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and others. I agree that fans may be onto something by wanting the show to explore a wider variety of countries.

It seems that many viewers are growing tired of seeing the same Latin American countries, such as Colombia and Brazil, or Asian countries like Thailand and India. Instead, they are looking for something more refreshing. I believe that shows like 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way could greatly benefit from offering a greater diversity of cultures than what is currently being shown.

390 Day Fiancé Shouldn't Cast Anymore Throuples

Throuples Fail To Attract Interest From 90 Day Fiancé Viewers

I also think the producers have made a mistake by including throuples for the sake of diversity. I feel the producers may have overlooked the fact that most couples in the world identify as monogamous. Viewers want to watch content they can relate to.

Unfortunately, a storyline involving a throuple might not be as relatable to the audience. For instance, the complex throuple storyline in 90 Day Fiancé season 11 has caused some fans to stop watching the show. I believe the network is at risk of losing a portion of its audience if it continues to feature such individuals in the future.

290 Day Fiancé Should Change Casting For The Male Muslim Female American Dynamic

90 Day Fiancé Should Explore Fresh Pairings Between Couples

I believe it's time for producers to change the way they cast certain couples. They should strive to find unique combinations to keep the show fresh and entertaining. One suggestion is to cast a male American Muslim and an Asian female, although this may be challenging. This dynamic hasn't been explored much on the show before and could bring a new perspective. Another idea is to cast a wealthy foreigner marrying an American who is struggling financially. I truly believe that the network would benefit from experimenting with new ideas instead of relying on typical 90 Day Fiancé stereotypes.

190 Day Fiancé Should Stop Casting People From LA

90 Day Fiancé Producers Should Cast People From All Across The US

I believe that most viewers would agree that the United States is more than just Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, and Florida. Surprisingly, the producers have chosen to cast so many cast members from these four regions. Rob Warne, Shekinah Garner, Sarper Güven, Jasmine Pineda, Yara Zaya, Loren Brovarnik, Elizabeth Potthast, and dozens of recurring cast members are from these four regions. Meanwhile, very few belong to other areas. I think the 90 Day Fiancé franchise would greatly benefit from featuring individuals from all across the United States rather than focusing on just a few regions.
