Want to feel good about your own relationship? Watch TLC’s “90 Day Fiance”!
In the above clip, which is exclusive to TheWrap, 25-year-old Jorge deals with his difficult Russian girlfriend Anfisa. She has “expensive tastes,” making her boyfriend realize he’d better start making more money. Oh, and she apparently also locked him out of his own phone and computer for some reason. Yeah, she’s a peach.
In the end of the tough-to-watch clip, Anfisa suggests Jorge find a new girlfriend. We concur.
The new season of “90 Day Fiance” features the following couples:
Nicole (Bradenton, Florida) and Azan (from Morocco) Nicole, 21, and Azan, 23, met through a messenger app but have never met in person. Nicole has a 20-month-old daughter and has never traveled outside of America. Nicole’s family is nervous for her to travel alone and skeptical of Azan’s intentions as they think he is using her for a green card.
Narkyia (Camp Hill, Pennsylvania) and Olulowo “Lowo” (from Nigeria, living in Vietnam) Narkyia, 36, and Lowo, 28, met on a Facebook group called ‘Beautiful Big Women,’ when Lowo privately messaged Narkyia. Lowo tried catfishing Narkyia by pretending to live in Alabama, along with other far-reaching lies. Narkyia fears that she can’t fully trust him.
Matt (Williamstown, Kentucky) and Alla (from Ukraine) Matt, 42, and Alla, 30, met on an international dating site. Matt, married and divorced 3 times, had traveled to Ukraine looking for love. There, he found Alla, but bringing her to America also means bringing her 7-year-old son.
Jorge (Los Angeles, California) and Anfisa (from Moscow, Russia) Jorge, 25, and Anfisa, 20, met when Jorge stumbled on Anfisa’s Facebook page and began courting her. Soon, he was taking her on expensive trips across Europe. Now he plans to show Anfisa a life of luxury in America, where he hopes she will fit in with his large family, which includes protective older sisters.
Chantel (Atlanta, Georgia) and Pedro (from Dominican Republic) Chantel, 25, and Pedro, 24, met when Chantel’s former Spanish teacher pointed her to Pedro’s Facebook page so she could learn Spanish faster. Chantel has hidden the truth about her relationship with Pedro from her family. They think he is entering the US on a student visa and have no idea that Pedro has only 90 days to marry Chantel or leave the country.
The new season starts Sunday at 9/8c, followed by the new spinoff series “90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After.” Both series are produced by Sharp Entertainment.
