As Billy Bob Thornton once said, “they can’t all be winners,” which very much applies to 90 Day Fiancé. The show’s quality has varied wildly throughout its run, and some seasons have been downright duds. However, there have certainly been standout seasons, and when 90 Day Fiancé is good, it’s great. This is how the 90 Day Fiancé seasons stack up against each other.
Season 3
The worst season of 90 Day Fiancé has got to be Season 3. Let’s be real, it was a snoozefest. Aside from Mark and Nikki, there wasn’t much drama between the couples, and the stakes overall were very low.
Though the season did feature one of the franchise’s most well-known couples, Alexei and Loren Brovarnik, their relationship is a little boring. Season 3 is an easy one to skip, as it’s the least compelling of the 90 Day Fiancé seasons.
Season 9
The most recent season was Season 9, and boy was it ever lame. All of the couples were either infuriating or boring, and there was no one worth rooting for. Season 9 also feels like the most scripted season of 90 Day Fiancé, and there was a lot of suspected producer intervention.
With a cast full of clout chasers and lackluster storylines, there wasn’t much to like about Season 9. Not only was the season not compelling, it was also torturously long, with 19 episodes, including a two-part Tell All.
Season 1
Though Season 1 is the OG, it’s certainly not the most interesting season of 90 Day Fiancé. As the show’s first season, the production values aren’t up to current standards, and Season 1 was understandably rough around the edges.
All of the couples from Season 1 are still together today, so it makes sense that there wasn’t much drama between them on the show. You can definitely tell that there’s something special about Season 1, which is why it went on to become such a popular show. However, Season 1 still isn’t as good as what came after.
Season 2
While most of the Season 2 couples had something interesting about their stories, Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali undoubtedly carried the season. Mohamed was the show’s first real scammer, and it was something that fans had been interested in seeing since Season 1.
There was a good mix of cast members ranging from dramatic to heartfelt, and it gave the season a lot of variety. Though there are better 90 Day Fiancé seasons, there are certainly worse ones, and Season 2 is somewhere in the middle.
Season 7
Season 7 may have a few dud couples who delivered boring storylines (looking your way, Blake Abelard and Jasmin Lahtinen), there were a few who were absolutely electric. This season was fans’ introduction to Natalie Mordovtseva and Mike Youngquist, and Tania Maduro and Syngin Colchester. Season 7 was also Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi’s first appearance on the OG show.
Along with the iconic couples, Season 7 is one of the better 90 Day Fiancé seasons due to the memorable storylines it delivered. There were gold digger suspicions, ultra-fast engagements, and broken engagements, among other captivating content.
Season 4
Season 4 is a great season to hop on board the franchise, as it’s very easy to digest and features some captivating cast members. This season deserves to be in the top echelon for Jorge Nava and Anfisa Arkhipchenko alone. The couple are utterly fascinating and endlessly entertaining.
However, the season also features Nicole Nafziger and Azan Tefou and Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno, who are delivered dynamite storylines. Though it’s not at the top of the list, the top four of the 90 Day Fiancé seasons are all on pretty equal footing.
Season 8
There’s a lot that makes Season 8 interesting, one of which is that it was filmed amid the pandemic. There were many issues that were caused by the pandemic, leading to quickie weddings, scary detainments, and more. Seeing the cast have to rapidly rethink their plans was incredibly compelling, as it was very relatable to viewers experiencing similar problems at the time.
Season 8 was highly entertaining, with memorable couples—many of whom have gone on to appear in the franchise multiple times. When thinking about the top 90 Day Fiancé seasons, it’s impossible not to think of Season 8.
Season 6
Season 6 was packed with drama and memorable moments from a cast featuring a lot of heavy hitters in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Colt Johnson and Larissa Lima in particular are standouts, and Colt’s toxic relationship with his mother, Debbie Johnson, was the stuff of franchise legend.
But there were also standout storylines from just about every other couple. There was a surprise pregnancy, family drama, cheating scandals, even an almost kidnapping. None of the season’s episodes were duds, and it was engaging from start to finish.
Season 5
However, when it comes to 90 Day Fiancé seasons, none quite match up to Season 5. It’s a standout because it has some of the most iconic and heavily-featured cast members in the franchise. Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet and Annie Suwan and David Toborowsky all got their start on Season 5, and they’ve since become franchise superstars.
Every episode was interesting, and even the “boring” couples, like Josh and Aika Batterson and Evelyn Cormier and David Vázquez Zermeño, delivered surprisingly entertaining storylines. There have been many 90 Day Fiancé seasons, but Season 5 stands out as practically perfect in every way.
