The casting crew of 90 Day Fiancé manages to find the most manipulative, deceitful people who just so happen to be engaged. Betrayals in this show aren't run of the mill cheating scandals, they're convoluted soap opera storylines that take the reality TV villain role to a whole new level.
It makes the smallest hints of kindness shown on the show seem like miracles. When one of the cast members does the bare minimum, the audience cheers in admiration. There are a few people that have gone above and beyond for their fiancés. Their good deeds will be acknowledged right next to the worst of the worst.

This is one of many scenes that made fans hate Steven. However, the couple blames the editing for making him look so terrible. Their episode on 90 Day Fiancé: What Now? shows a much happier couple.
