The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has been accused of recycling too many couples, though other franchise faces have not been featured enough. While overexposure is far more common than underexposure, 90 Day Fiancé fans have asked for TLC to swap out some regular cast members and instead catch up with some forgotten faces. Discover which 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members viewers would be interested in seeing more of in 2022 content.
One major complaint among 90 Day Fiancé fans is that TLC recycles too many couples. This causes once authentic plot lines to be drawn out, forced, staged, and seemingly scripted as couples struggle to come up with relevant content to air to audiences. Continually watching couples cycle through the same problems and draw out the same plot lines has left many viewers frustrated, as the franchise started out by featuring a candid look at international romances and the marriage process.
Many viewers also want to see cast members swapped out or replaced with new faces entirely due to the problematic nature of many of the current personalities TLC chooses to feature. Viewers were horrified that now-convicted domestic abuser Geoffrey Paschel made it through casting approval, while Big Ed Brown continues to be cast in new content even after a verbally abusive phone call to his partner Liz Woods was leaked. 90 Day Fiancé fans have requested the removal of problematic personalities who can be replaced with other franchise faces.
Juliana Custodio
Juliana Custodio is one cast member who sparked viewer interest in 2021. The Brazilian model split from her husband Michael Jessen and Juliana wasn’t afraid to speak her truth after Michael passive-aggressively announced their separation and revealed that she was seeing another man. Viewers were next shocked to hear that Juliana is carrying the child of her German boyfriend Ben Obscura. Many viewers are very curious about Juliana and Ben’s relationship and the dissolve of her marriage to Michael. Some fans have asked for Juliana to be cast on another season of 90 Day: The Single Life to provide more insight into her new relationship.
Jihoon Lee
Jihoon Lee is another cast member who viewers are interested in seeing more of. Like Juliana, 90 Day Fiancé fans would be interested in seeing the Korean man search for love on The Single Life after his split from Deavan Clegg following their romance on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way. Franchise fans have panned Deavan for her dramatic and problematic ways, though many remain fond of Jihoon. Since Deavan is always flaunting her relationship with her boyfriend Christopher Park, many 90 Day Fiancé fans would like to see Jihoon with another woman who treats him better than Devan and her equally cruel mother Elicia.
Pedro Jimeno
Pedro Jimeno is certainly not an underrated cast member, as he appears on The Family Chantel with his wife Chantel Jimeno. However, Pedro’s storyline is so compelling in the third season of their spin-off show that many viewers hope to see Pedro appear in a fourth season of the TLC show. The Family Chantel season 3 surprised viewers by taking a deviation from petty drama and suspicions to focus on Pedro’s very real journey to learn more about his estranged father. Pedro is currently dealing with heartbreak as the women in his family mock his desire to know his father and he comes to terms with his father lovingly raising his legitimate children. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans have changed their opinion on The Family Chantel since it now features a storyline with real substance.
Omar Albakour & Avery Mills
Omar Albakour and Avery Mills captivated 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days viewers with their epic romance. Since marrying in Syria, American Avery traveled to Dubai to live with Omar while they awaited his US visa approval. The couple now lives in the United States, which means that filming together would very much be possible. Unfortunately for fans, Avery and Omar have stated multiple times that they are definitely done with reality TV. However, many fans hope that the couple might change their minds. Avery and Omar proved their critics wrong, as their marriage is very much real. Meanwhile, they are one of the most mature, grounded, and work-oriented couples to be featured in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise.
Tim Malcom & Veronica Rodriguez
Tim Malcolm and Veronica Rodriguez are another franchise duo introduced to fans on Before The 90 Days. Tim and his then-girlfriend Jeniffer Tarazona definitely did not work out, but viewers quickly fell in love with Tim and Veronica's friendship. The best friends who dated many years ago provide hilarious Pillow Talk commentary. Many 90 Day Fiancé fans consider Tim and Veronica to be the best Pillow Talk couple of all time due to their natural chemistry and senses of humor. Some viewers watch new 90 Day Fiancé franchise content through Pillow Talk thanks to Tim and Veronica carrying the show.
Molly Hopkins & Cynthia Decker
90 Day Fiancé fans might have mixed feelings about Molly Hopkins appearing alongside her cop boyfriend Kelly, but many viewers love her dynamic with her best friend and business partner Cynthia Decker. In addition to Tim and Veronica, Molly and Cynthia are the standout Pillow Talk best friends. The two women previously starred in their own show Double Divas, which showed the daily operations at their lingerie store. Although many viewers are sick of seeing the same couples recycled in franchise content, Molly and Cynthia's fun and humorous friendship might be the basis for a spin-off show that viewers would actually be interested in seeing.
Alina Kozhevnikova & Elijah
Before The 90 Days season 5 newcomer Alina Kozhevnikova is already popular among viewers, while her best friend and roommate Elijah is being hailed as the season MVP. While many viewers remain wary of Alina's romantic interest Caleb Greenwood, Elijah and Alina together are a winning combo. Elijah and Alina have great chemistry as best friends and viewers adore the supportive way Elijah helps Alina and cheers her on. 90 Day Fiancé viewers have already suggested Elijah and Alina as a must-have pair for future Pillow Talk episodes.
