90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 8 has nearly wrapped up, with only the Tell All episodes yet to air. With nine couples, Season 8 had no shortage of chaos and drama. Of course, like every season of 90 Day Fiancé, some cast members ended as winners while others unfortunately finished as losers. Here is our final verdict.

Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise – Winners

Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise had one of Season 8’s best success stories. At the beginning of the season, Emily and Kobe traveled to Cameroon with their kids and Emily’s parents. Once they arrived, Kobe’s family requested that Emily and Kobe have a traditional Cameroonian wedding. While Emily was slightly hesitant at first, she later agreed to it. Emily and Kobe’s second wedding was one of Season 8’s happiest moments and was wonderfully done.

Throughout the season, Emily and Kobe worked through their minimal disagreements maturely. Emily and Kobe were arguably the most stable couple this season and were one of the more enjoyable ones to watch. At the end of the season, Emily and Kobe announced that they were expecting their third baby. This was the perfect ending to their storyline, which will hopefully get them on another season soon!

Liz Woods – Winner

Liz Woods had a difficult time during Season 8 but ultimately ended as a winner. At the start of the season, Liz had moved to Arkansas with her now ex-Ed Brown. Eventually, a fight led to Ed canceling their wedding, without even letting Liz know. While Liz ended the season heartbroken, it was refreshing to see her move on from Ed once and for all.

Previews for the upcoming Tell All tease a formal introduction of Liz’s new boyfriend, who she recently hard-launched on Instagram. Liz’s new man is a huge upgrade from Ed, and she seems very happy with him. Liz may have started Season 8 on a low note, but she emerged as one of its biggest winners.

Michael Ilesanmi – Winner

I think it’s fair to say that no one on 90 Day Fiancé has ever waited as long as Michael Ilesanmi did to come to the US. After several issues with visas, Michael finally arrived in America at the end of Season 8. For seven years, Michael and his wife Angela Deem had a long-distance relationship, with her making periodic visits to Nigeria. Michael’s arrival in America was a long time coming, and he deserves it after waiting patiently for years.

Despite Michael’s relationship with Angela being as problematic as ever, he still ended Season 8 as a winner. Michael’s American dream finally came true and is long overdue at this point. While it’s unclear where Michael and Angela stand today, his Instagram account indicates that he is doing well.

Ed Brown – Loser

While Ed was never a fan favorite, Season 8 may have seen him at his worst. As mentioned previously, Ed showed his true colors when he blindsided Liz by canceling their wedding. Ed decided to do this after a fight over “taco pasta”, where Liz called him out after he told her daughter to “stop being a baby”. This was a bad move on Ed’s part and he definitely should’ve handled the situation differently.

Ed made things even worse when Liz came to move her belongings out of the house with her mom. Liz tried to handle the situation maturely, but Ed insisted on picking a fight. Eventually, Liz’s mother got involved, which is when Ed told her that he should’ve “done a better job” raising Liz. This was incredibly disrespectful of Ed and just helped to secure his title of one of the season’s villains.

Rob Warne and Sophie Sierra – Losers

Rob Warne and Sophie Sierra had one of the most tedious storylines during Season 8. At the beginning of the season, Sophie revealed that she had moved in with a friend after discovering Rob’s online cheating had been worse than she thought. Rob tried to make things right with Sophie, but her mom and best friend’s involvement in their relationship just continued to make things worse.

During the finale, Rob admitted that he was done with the back and forth. He went to see Sophie, where he explained that he felt it was time to end things with her. This led to Sophie having an intense breakdown, as she was frustrated that Rob had given up on her. Rob and Sophie went in circles all season, which got tiring to watch after a while.

Loren Brovarnik and Alexei Brovarnik – Losers

Loren Brovarnik and Alexei Brovarnik’s storyline during Season 8 was a snooze fest. At the start of the season, Loren got ready to have her “mommy makeover” surgery. This felt like a strange plot line and made it seem like Alexei was a side character in Loren’s story. Throughout the process, Loren complained about virtually everything, which made it pretty boring to watch. To make things even more frustrating, Alexei grumbled about having to do laundry while Loren recovered. Like seriously?

Towards the end of the season, Alexei infamously told Loren that he didn’t want to be her “cheerleader”. Loren had been discussing the possibility of going back to work, which Alexei immediately shut down. This was a bad look for Alexei, although Loren wasn’t the most likable this season either.
