Most 90 Day Fiancé franchise fans were happy about 90 Day: The Single Life season 2’s early return, but many were disappointed after hearing about the show's multitude of villainous cast members. Admittedly, Discovery+ and TLC viewers expected several to see some familiar faces in the new season. Natalie Mordovtseva and Syngin Colchester were predicted to join the series, as those two reality stars dropped hints themselves. However, plenty of people were shocked to see Big Ed Brown and Stephanie Matto on the list. The trailer, which features the seven singles (Natalie, Syngin, Big Ed, Stephanie, Debbie Johnson, Jesse Meester, and Jeniffer Tarazona) was also met with unenthusiastic or angry reactions.
90 Day: The Single Life season 2 begins streaming on November 12 on Discovery+. The theme of the spin-off will be the same as it was in season 1, with unlucky former "halves" of popular 90 Day Fiancé couples taking a second shot at finding love. The first official person to be announced as a part of the new season was Stepanka (better known as Stephanie). She revealed that she’d be dating men and women on the show. Interestingly, Stephanie has been called a clout chaser in the past, because some people thought she was faking her bisexuality.
However, the criticism that's directed at Stephanie isn't as harsh as what some of her 90 Day: The Single Life costars get. Although viewers have been largely unimpressed by most of the singletons, except Syngin, a few are giving them more reasons to boycott the series. Here's a look at the most disliked cast members that want to shed their "single" labels on the upcoming spin-off.
Natalie Mordovtseva
Natalie is surely walking away with more flak than she usually attracts due to her recent show of support for the convicted criminal, Geoffrey Paschel. Natalie, who’s friends with Varya Malina, sent prayers to Geoffrey and also confirmed that he’s together with his onscreen fiancé. Viewers have grown tired of Natalie’s drama, especially since they've watched her on back-to-back seasons with Mike Youngquist. She has been called out for using Mike for a Green Card and for playing the victim. She even gets dragged by her costars. During the 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Tell-All, Natalie was asked to go home by the most unlikeable cast members of that season, Julia Trubkina and Angela Deem. Natalie may be the ultimate villain.
Big Ed Brown
TLC shocked fans by bringing back Big Ed, even though petitions to cancel him have been floating around. After he earned notoriety for his relationship with Rose Vega on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Big Ed filmed 90 Day: The Single Life season 1 with a new younger girlfriend, Liz Woods. However, the couple broke up, and a leaked phone call between Ed and Liz featured him directing abusive language at Liz. Fans are disappointed that Big Ed is still a part of the franchise, and surprised that he's engaged to be married to Liz. Fresh assault allegations continue to emerge against the San Diego man, whose allegedly manipulative and predatory actions appear to confirm his villain status.
Jesse Meester
Better known as the man who always made Darcey Silva cry, Jesse from the Netherlands is now dating a new 90 Day Fiancé star, Jeniffer Tarazona. Since Jesse and Jeniffer have already confirmed their relationship on Instagram, fans are furious about their inappropriate casting on The Single Life. In the past, Jesse has been labeled a raging narcissist and accused of being passive-aggressive. Fans feel that Darcey’s current trust issues are the byproduct of her former relationship with Jesse. Fans have observed that Jesse enjoyed pulling the strings, talking down to Darcey, and trying to be the center of attention. Some hope that Jesse is a changed man now. Will he do an encore of his act while dating 90 Day: The Single Life?
