Many 90 Day Fiancé franchise have voiced their frustration with the cast of season 9. While viewers were eager to get to meet six new couples, as well as keep up with one returning duo, so far the entire cast has been panned by critics for being boring and unlikable. While many of the 90 Day Fiancé season 9 relationships are considered doomed by viewers, some individuals have earned positive feedback from fans.
One of the major issues viewers have with 90 Day Fiancé season 9 is that many of the cast members come across as inauthentic. Viewers have been suspicious of more recent 90 Day Fiancé franchise content, as an increasing number of wannabe influencers have been cast. The more successful franchise stars now boast over a million followers on social media and earn revenue through multiple digital streams. This has led to hopeful influencers entering the franchise with dreams of also building large social media followings and becoming famous if they create drama.
Many viewers see through the 90 Day Fiancé newcomers who appear to be acting out storylines for clout. Fans have been further frustrated when social media spoilers have revealed just how deceptive certain cast members have been. Meanwhile, other franchise newcomers have been panned by viewers for simply being unlikeable. Many viewers have voiced their disapproval of the way almost half of the featured partners behave. The season 9 cast seems riddled with controlling and overbearing partners who viewers dislike watching.
7. Yvette Arellano & Mohamed Abdelhamed
Yvette Arellano and Mohamed Abdelhamed earn the title of being the least likable 90 Day Fiancé season 9 couple solely due to Mohamed. The Egyptian man has been on his absolute worst behavior since arriving in the United States. 90 Day Fiancé newcomer Mohamed expects Yvette to act like his mother and cook and clean for him. However, she also is the sole provider for the couple. Meanwhile, Mohamed is trying to push Yvette to convert to Islam even though she made it clear she doesn't want to. Mohamed has also been slammed as being a hypocrite since he wants Yvette to dress conservatively even though he messaged her due to a bikini photo she shared online. Overall, viewers find that Mohamed brings nothing to the table. His behavior makes his segments with Yvette difficult to watch.
6. Shaeeda Sween & Bilal Hazziez
Shaeeda Sween and Bilal Hazziez are one couple who franchise fans are hoping to see go their separate ways. While many viewers are loving Shaeeda, Bilal has been labeled so unlikeable that some viewers no longer want to watch their scenes. Bilal comes across as obsessive and controlling. He tries to micromanage Shaeeda and is constantly lecturing her. This makes the segments with Bilal and Shaeeda uncomfortable and tense. Now Shaeeda and Bilal are recycling an overplayed storyline as they argue about a prenuptial agreement. Many viewers no longer wish to watch the same drama recycled season after season and are checking out of their storyline.
5. Jibri & Miona Bell
Jibri and Miona Bell have been mocked by many viewers for their unique appearances. However, Miona has angered fans by blackfishing. Miona has earned fury from franchise fans who no longer want to see her appear in any future content due to the way that she apparently misrepresents herself as a person of color. Meanwhile, Miona's attitude has been panned as she is demanding a lavish destination wedding and a move to Los Angeles despite having no money. While Jibri is more likable than his fiancée, many viewers find him to be foolish. To make matters worse, Jibri and Miona essentially spoiled their plotline by having the same last name on social media.
4. Ariela Weinberg & Biniyam Shibre
Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre are back after appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, though few viewers are rooting for them to stay together. Ariela behaved ridiculously in a fight that many viewers believed was staged. Meanwhile, Biniyam's family continued to mistreat Ariela before their big move. Biniyam essentially confirmed that he is only with Ariela for the sake of their son, and it is clear that the connection between the couple is diminished. Not many viewers are interested in continuing to witness their segments.
3. Thaís Ramone & Patrick Mendes
While Thaís Ramone and Patrick Mendes aren't coming across as particularly likable to viewers, their story has been considered more boring than offensive. 90 Day Fiancé newcomers Thaís and Patrick don't appear to have much drama between them. This has led to some viewers questioning whether they scripted Thaís' dislike of Patrick's brother, as well as her gold-digging attitude. Patrick overall comes across as normal and reasonable, while Thaís is considered bratty but not particularly offensive to viewers. Overall, their worst crime is being uninteresting.
2. Kara Bass & Guillermo Rojer
While Kara Bass and Guillermo Rojer aren't necessarily a likable couple, they have caused fewer issues than other featured couples. Kara comes across as immature due to her partying and drinking. However, she impressed viewers with her Spanish-speaking skills and also is very reasonable about finances. Meanwhile, Kara does not want to have an expensive wedding that she cannot afford and instead plans to save for a wedding - something that rarely happens in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Though Guillermo is young and a bit naive about finances, he comes across as very sweet and likable. Kara and Guillermo have some issues to work out, but they overall are one of the least problematic new couples.
1. Kobe Blaise & Emily Bieberly
Kobe Blaise and Emily Bieberly might be a controversial choice for the most likable couple for 90 Day Fiancé season 9 due to Emily's low popularity among fans. However, the season failed to provide viewers with any couple worth rooting for. Kobe is currently walking away as the most likable new cast member to join the franchise. Many viewers were moved by Kobe's raw emotions when it came to meeting his son for the first time. Kobe is a kind and hardworking man who is eager to provide for his family and be a father. Emily, unfortunately, comes across as bratty, selfish, and immature. However, many 90 Day Fiancé viewers are rooting for their relationship to work out so that Kobe can remain in the U.S. with his son.
