Gabriel Paboga recently joined the cast of 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 4, but fans have many competing opinions about him. The reality star has some qualities, which have been endearing over the season, but some of his comments were found to be off-putting. This has made it hard to determine if Gabe is a 90 Day Fiancé fan favorite or merely a tolerated cast member.
Gabe and Isabel Posada have received a lot of admiration for their honest relationship. They are one of the few couples featured on the show who don't experience a lot of relationship drama because they've kept secrets from each other. Gabe and Isabel have been very transparent, with Gabe being candid about his transition and Isabel being supportive of him. Isabel asked many questions about Gabe's experiences to better understand his life. They have a sweet and thoughtful dynamic for the most part, and it's refreshing to see a couple with so few issues.
Why Some 90 Day Fiancé Fans Like Gabe
Gabe is adored by some fans like u/goinpostalmarcus from Reddit, who considers him one of their "favorite cast members ever." Other fans find Gabe to be very "wholesome" and enjoy seeing him and Isabel spend quality time together without devolving into a petty argument. Gabe comes off as a "kind hearted guy" in his care and respect for Isabel, as well as in his interactions with other people. Though fans are worried about Gabe and Isabel's plot, they have been portrayed very well in everything that's been shown in the series so far.
Why Some 90 Day Fiancé Fans Dislike Gabe
On the other hand, some viewers find Gabriel to be "impulsive and immature" and dislike his "fake machismo." He has also come under fire for his comments about Isabel "emasculating" him when Gabe is a terrible businessman. Others have issues with the ultimatum he set for Isabel, forcing her to "choose between her family and himself." While many understand Gabe's want to be accepted, they don't agree with how he tries to achieve it. Fans feel Gabe can be "annoying" and "self-absorbed" in his discussions and actions, and he could be more thoughtful if he took a step back to rethink before speaking.
Gabriel is hardly the first 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way cast member to cause debates among fans. Others have been equally divisive during their appearances, but Gabe is unique in his genuine kindness. He and Isabel are admired for appearing more authentic in their bond than other couples and for their general attitudes toward each other. There have been moments when Gabe bothered viewers with his immaturity and offhand comments that insulted and belittled Isabel. Their devotion to each other is clear, but some fans believe Gabe still has a few things he could improve on to be a better person and partner.
