On 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Ellie Rose and Victor McLean are a new couple to the show, and many fans think that after her inaugural season, Ellie will regret becoming involved in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. There’s a lot that comes with going on a reality TV show, and it can be a shock to the system, and some viewers feel Ellie may not be cut out for the level of criticism she’s received. Watching herself back could also be disappointing, and the entire experience may be one that Ellie regrets.
Ellie had a lot going for her when she was first introduced on The Other Way—she was the owner of a thriving pizza restaurant, had a home in Seattle and had a solid group of friends. But all of it was left behind when Ellie moved to Providencia to be with Victor. It was a decision that many fans have criticized, because Ellie revealed that Victor had cheated on her. Ellie’s arrival in Providencia came right after a devastating hurricane, and so far things haven’t gone well between her and Victor, and their relationship seems to be in as precarious a position as Providencia itself. Her The Other Way journey has been a rocky road so far, and Ellie may not like the fallout.
Every new reality TV star undergoes a rough awakening when they first appear on TV. There’s no way to tell how they will be received by viewers, and when adjusting to their new fame, many stars don’t realize the kind of vitriol they’re opening themselves up to by going on tv. The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has an especially passionate fanbase, and they haven’t responded well to Ellie’s choices so far on the show. Many fans think Ellie has made a terrible decision leaving Seattle and giving everything up for a man who cheated on her. It can be hard to see so much hate come her way, and Ellie could be regretting going on the show at all.
But blowback from fans isn’t the only reason why Ellie might be kicking herself for joining the cast. It’s one thing to make decisions (and mistakes) in real time, but watching it all back on camera can provide new clarity that’s not always comforting. Ellie gave everything up for unfaithful Victor, and while she might have already regretted that decision, watching it back could be a lot harder than living through it. Listening or watching a recording of yourself can be cringey for most people, so imagine watching back the questionable and embarrassing details of your romantic life.
Though her journey on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way is only partway done, there have already been several moments involving Ellie and Victor that have garnered significant criticism. That, combined with some of Ellie’s behavior and choices, may make it difficult for her to relive the experience. Agreeing to go on the show could have been a big mistake, and many fans feel Ellie will look back at her franchise experience with regret.
