90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5 only recently premiered, but 90 Day Fiancé viewers have already selected a fan-favorite cast member in Alina. The new season of the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off show features seven new couples, with only one cast member returning for international romance. Before the 90 Days focuses on couples before they decide if they want to apply for their K-1 visas to marry in the United States. Many 90 Day Fiancé viewers are fond of Alina, a Russian singer who fell for American Caleb Greenwood.
Alina and Caleb first connected thirteen years ago when they met online. The two fell out of touch before meeting on a dating app when Caleb was planning a trip to Alina's native Russia. Though the trip ultimately fell through, Alina and Caleb rekindled their connection and discovered a romantic spark. Due to the pandemic, the two have decided to travel to Turkey to meet in person for the first time. Though Alina is excited to finally meet her American partner, she does have reservations about the upcoming trip. Alina has a condition called diastrophic dysplasia that affects the cartilage in her body and has led to her being very short with fingers and toes that have difficulty bending. Though Caleb is aware of the condition Alina has, the Russian beauty fears he doesn't understand the extent of her disability.
Alina has been candid about appearing on the show, as she cited the need to normalize dating with a disability as one of the main reasons why she is airing her love story with Caleb on Before the 90 Days. Though many viewers are fond of Alina for her clear physical beauty, her winning attitude is what is already establishing her as a fan-favorite personality. Alina exhibits easy confidence that avoids coming across as cocky or arrogant. She appears to have a very strong grasp on who she is and is determined to make the most of her life. This stands in contrast to many other reality TV personalities who have relied on other people to try and make their dreams a reality.
Many 90 Day Fiancé viewers are inspired by Alina already because she refuses to make excuses and is focused on living her life to the fullest. While some 90 Day Fiancé cast members have blamed other people for their problems, Alina is actually making her dreams happen because of her passion and drive. In addition to modeling, Alina is one-third of the BFF Band with her two close friends. The Russian beauty exudes charisma and confidence and doesn't allow the fact that it is difficult for her to walk long distances interfere with her ability to be a performer. Because Alina takes charge of her life and looks to the future with excitement and hope, many viewers are already loving her.
While viewers are already fond of Alina, many are far more hesitant about Caleb. Caleb claims he is all-in with his relationship with Alina, but previews for their meet-up have raised red flags for viewers. Many Before the 90 Days viewers fear Caleb has downplayed the extent of Alina's disability and won't be able to provide her with the care and accommodations she requires. For example, the American was unhappy to hear Alina would be traveling with her roommate Elijah to see him. 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days viewers may be wary of Caleb, but they are already singing their praises for Alina.
90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days airs Sundays at 8 p.m. EST on TLC.
