Each season of 90 Day Fiancé features more cast members showing off their weight losses, whether it's through diet and exercise or surgery, and it has impacted fans in various ways. Though the show follows people from the U.S. who have found their life partner outside of the country, there is a great deal of personal drama that gets discussed on the show. Fans love how the 90 Day Fiancé cast members seem to show all different aspects of their personality on screen and through social media, but their weight-loss transformations send some viewers mixed messages.
Many 90 Day Fiancé fans say their favorite part of the show is the first time the couples meet in person at the airports, as it is often a strong indicator of whether the relationship will last. There are many different obstacles that couples face on the show, but there are some tropes that are usually explored each season. On 90 Day Fiancé, there is often a "gold digger" storyline, where the Americans assume their partner is in the relationship for money. There are also couples with large age gaps and cultural differences that make marriage more difficult.
Physical attraction is a big part of what is explored during their journey, as taking a relationship from online to in-person often causes some insecurities and anxiety. The older partner usually partakes in cosmetic surgery in an effort to keep up with their younger spouse. It has become the norm for 90 Day Fiancé cast members to have weight-loss surgery after their season ends, as can be seen with Angela Deem's dramatic drop in pounds.
Many 90 Day Fiancé fans are excited to see a more confident side of the cast members, as is also the case with Angela. She appears to be more active than ever, and she frequently posts dancing videos, showing that she feels young again. Other fans are worried that it will lead to more of the cast promoting unhealthy eating and dieting habits in order to lose weight for viewers to see. The fact that so many 90 Day Fiancé cast members, from Angela to Tiffany Franco and Memphis Smith, are boasting their weight losses has led to even more product promotions.
Countless 90 Day cast members started promoting weight-loss products, like daily drink powders, and cited them as the reason for their slimmer figures rather than their surgeries. Some 90 Day Fiancé fans are worried that all of these surgeries and drastic weight losses will create unrealistic expectations for viewers. Others are worried that it will alter some of the fan favorites' personalities, though Debbie Johnson has shown that she is sassy no matter what she looks like.
