90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? is known for its entertaining drama, but season 8 has been underwhelming so far. Fans were excited to see some of the most controversial couples return, including Sophie Sierra and Rob Warne, who shocked viewers with their infidelity-fueled storyline in 90 Day Fiancé season 10. Despite plans to break up, the couple ended up getting married in the finale. Ashley Michelle and Manuel Vëlez also stunned fans with their incompatibility and seemed like perfect picks for 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8.
Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise from 90 Day Fiancé season 9 also looked like ideal candidates for the new season due to their interesting storyline from last time. Big Ed Brown & Liz Woods and Michael Ilesanmi & Angela Deem were among the most anticipated couples in the new season, having faced many challenges over the years. Unfortunately, 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 is turning out to be the most tiring yet due to the couples’ boring storylines, and many fans are disappointed.
While 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 has been boring, some pairs make it unbearable. One of the worst journeys of the season was Loren & Alexei Brovarnik’s. The couple’s story focused on their lives as parents and Loren’s mommy makeover. However, the two made it worse by inserting forced drama and unreal reactions.
While talking about Loren and Alexei, a Reddit user @rapsnaxx84 asked, “who Cares About This Storyline?” Many others chimed in, agreeing with the sentiment and sharing their views. Another Redditor commented, “many of the cast just trying to extend their 15 minutes of D level fame,” alleging that Loren’s on the show just to make herself famous. Someone else wrote, “no one!!! OMG. So sick of the made up drama,” stating the mom of three is a liar. The Reddit post got hundreds of upvotes, showing that most fans no longer care about Loren’s story. They don’t think she’s interesting.
Rob and Sophie lost fans in 90 Day Fiancé season 10. When the two first met, viewers got tired of their made-up personalities and phony behavior. Rob’s past infidelity and lack of concern for Sophie’s feelings made him a villain. At the same time, Sophie’s inability to see her self-worth made many viewers cringe. Everyone was surprised when Rob and Sophie decided to marry each other despite their differences. Rob and Sophie joined 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 to continue their story. Unfortunately, their return was far less entertaining than viewers expected.
A Redditor wrote, “Rob/Sophie seems scripted now too,” stating that even the supporting cast members in the story seem like wannabe influencers looking for exposure. Another Reddit user commented, “I definitely fast forward Sophie and Robb,” adding that Sophie’s mom is the worst. Many viewers think Rob and Sophie are faking the drama for views. They believe the couple is “super annoying” and hope they never return to the show.
Patrick and Thaís are a compatible duo. They lead stable lives and have a beautiful daughter whom they adore. Understandably, their 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8 storyline isn’t as gripping. The two are too perfect of a duo to have any major issues. Their only source of conflict is their brother, John McManus, the only entertaining personality in their lives. Apart from him, Patrick and Thais’ lives are too normal to make for good reality TV. Their new journey is all about Thaís reconnecting with her family, which, while important, is not as dramatic or entertaining.
People claim they fast forward through the couple’s scenes and only watch them if there’s John. A Reddit user @Apprehensive-Pop1090 recently posted Thaís and Patrick’s photo on Reddit and wrote, “they should just film John since that’s all they ever talk about.” Many fans agreed with the post and shared their reasons for not liking the duo. Another Reddit user commented, “I don’t even know why I watch at this point,” adding that it’s getting boring.
Manuel and Ashley are two people no viewers enjoy watching in 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 8. When the duo first appeared in season 10, their story was interesting because of their differences. Fans wanted to see Ashley be free from the problematic relationship and dump Manuel because of his shady habits. Unfortunately, the story didn’t end as people hoped. Ashley tied the knot with Manuel and kickstarted her married life. She returned to TV to showcase how her relationship has evolved and seemed excited about her future with her Ecuadorian husband.
Over the weeks, many viewers have complained about Ashley and Manuel’s stale storyline. Recently, a Redditor @Not_Mr_Rogers posted a meme of Ashley and Manuel’s language barrier. They wrote, “I hate watching them. She’s ridiculous, it literally anxiety.” Hundreds of fans agreed with the OP and shared that they felt the same way. Another Reddit user wrote, “she’s self-absorbed, and he’s shady as hell.” Someone else commented, “this show is a joke.” If the network wants to keep its viewers engaged, they’d likely benefit from not casting Ashley and Manuel on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? anymore.
