With Discovery Plus releasing 90 Day Fiancé spin-off after 90 Day Fiancé spin-off, it can be hard to keep the names and shows straight. Love Games is the latest spin-off to be announced by TLC and its parent company. Discovery. It's unique from the other spin-offs in that it is a game show format, with 90 Day Fiancé couples as the competitors.
Last year, TLC announced that it would be part of a new streaming service called Discovery Plus, which bundles all the channels it owns onto one platform. Shows from TLC, Discovery Channel, HGTV, Food Network, and more are all part of the new service. However, 90 Day Fiancé fans were not impressed by the announcement, especially as it became clear that they were the primary target for this new service. Fans of the franchise have debated whether they will find it worthwhile to spend money on yet another streaming service. Maybe the trailer for Love Games will convince some of them to try it out.
Love Games is a game show that is similar to the classic The Newlywed Game. Based on the trailer, it looks like the couples will have to write individual answers to each question and see if their answers match. The winner will be the pair who know each other best AKA has the most matching answers. The questions will be bold, including, "what bugs you the most about your partner," and, "if I could date anyone from the 90 Day Fiancé universe other than my partner, who would it be?" 24 couples will appear on the show. The couples are, Elizabeth and Andrei, Robert and Anny, Steven and Olga, Larissa and Eric, Blake and Jasmin, Rachel and Jon, Alan and Kirlyam, Stacey and Florian, Kalani and Asuelu, Russ and Pao, Larry and Jenny, Tiffany and Ronald, Anna and Mursel, Kyle and Noon, Angela and Michael, Colt and Debbie, Brett and Daya, Evelyn and David, Darcey and Georgi, Benjamin and Akinyi, Tania and Syngin, Emily and Sasha, Corey and Evelin, and David and Annie.
Love Games was filmed in quarantine, according to Variety, and each couple self-filmed. There was no typical camera, set, or lighting crew. The show will be around 17 episodes, with couples moving on to the semi-finals and finals. The winning couple's only prize will be a Love Games trophy and "bragging rights." The show will be released on February 8, exclusively on Discovery Plus, and will be hosted by Sukanya Krishnan, who also hosted the virtual Find Love Live last year. It wouldn't be a true 90 Day Fiancé spin-off without drama, and it looks like the show may cause some arguments and accusations between the couples. In the trailer alone, Kalani calls out her husband Asuelu for lying and Angela (yet again) threatens her husband Michael with a divorce.
Among fan complaints that the 90 Day Fiancé spin-offs just consist of old footage repackaged, Love Games promises something new. Viewers will have to decide for themselves if it's worth spending $5 a month to watch their favorite couples compete from their couches in this game show that's sure to reveal interesting insights about these 90 Day stars.
