Debbie Johnson has joined the cast of 90 Day: The Single Life, and though she has gotten criticism from some viewers who aren’t comfortable with her sexuality, there are many others who appreciate the way she’s destigmatizing sex among seniors. In season 2, Debbie is definitely spicing things up, more than some fans would like. However, she is unapologetically herself one hundred percent of the time, and with the way she stands up for what she deserves, many viewers are seeing Debbie as an inspiration.

Even though Debbie was never a cast member on 90 Day Fiancé, she was a major part of her son Colt Johnson’s life when he starred on season 6. The fights Debbie got into with her son’s wife Larissa Lima were epic and some of the most explosive the franchise has ever seen. But now, it’s Debbie’s turn to find love, and fans were shocked when she was announced as part of The Single Life season 2 cast. On the new season of the spin-off, Debbie undergoes a dramatic makeover and tries to find a man to spend the rest of her life with.

So far, many viewers have been stunned by how overtly sexual Debbie has been, and she has expressed no hesitation in talking about what she wants in bed. Though some fans found her honesty off-putting, there were many others who felt they could relate to her. Seniors, and especially older women, are often told by society that they’re not attractive and don’t deserve love. So, it’s refreshing to see Debbie expressing her desire for a healthy and fulfilling sexual relationship. Debbie is just as deserving as anyone else of finding a partner who makes her feel special, and she won’t accept anything less.

As the oldest member of The Single Life season 2 cast, Debbie represents a demographic that isn’t often featured on dating shows, and many viewers can connect to her journey. In addition to being an inspiration to fans in similar positions, Debbie is always herself, for better or for worse. Sometimes she can be a little cringey, but who among us isn’t awkward from time to time? Debbie clearly isn’t putting on a fake personality for the cameras — what you see is what you get with her, and that’s refreshing.

There are definitely a lot of 90 Day: The Single Life fans who aren’t too keen on following Mama Johnson’s second sexual awakening, but for many more, Debbie’s journey is familiar to their own experience. Unfortunately, sexuality among seniors is often mocked, and there are franchise fans who appreciate that Debbie is so upfront about that aspect of her life. Debbie has become a reality TV star who isn’t afraid to go after the things she wants and deserves. For many viewers, that has made her the most relatable person on the show.
