Language barriers are playing a major role in Before The 90 Days couple chemistry and communication for both Memphis Smith and Moknii Hamza, as well as Mike Berk and Ximena Morales Cuellar. Both couples realized how awkward things were once they met in person since they need to rely on translation apps for the majority of their communication. Memphis and Hamza faced an awkward silence, while Mike’s English-to-Spanish translations to Ximena’s family were comically inaccurate. Neither couple appeared prepared for just how large of a hurtle not sharing a common language would be. This made things visibly uncomfortable for the couples upon their initial meeting.

While language issues are proving to be a big deal, other Before The 90 Days couples appear to be on different pages entirely. Kimberly Menzies and Usman “Sojaboy” Umar are looking for completely different things. While Kimberly is dying to be intimate with Usman, he only considers her his “potential girlfriend.” Meanwhile, Alina Kozhevnikova’s quick attraction to Caleb Greenwood was not immediately returned to her visible disappointment. Since some cast members want to move faster than their partners, things are quickly becoming awkward for audiences as couples struggle to find common grounds and define what they are.

While language barriers and expectations are impacting new Before The 90 Days romances, many cast members are also hiding secrets. Memphis, Gino, and Alina all admitted on camera that they weren’t completely honest about their relationships with their exes. Upcoming revelations are likely to cause some relationship issues for the couples. Additionally, some cast members appear to have misrepresented themselves online and are coming across as different in person. Overall, the 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days season 5 cast members are realizing that chemistry and compatibility don’t always translate from online to the real world.
