Theres only one problem, though:Before the 90 Daysalso sucks.
This isnt a so bad its good sort of scenario, where were laughing at the show itself.
Instead, the show is greatdespiteitself.
The stakes are very high, of course, because there is such a high potential for catfishery.
Any great reality show comes down to casting, and there are some humdingers onBefore the 90 Days.
This pair is as volatile as three sticks of dynamite.
Jesse cant even cut a steak for dinner without the two of them exploding.
It doesnt help that he speaks hardly a lick of Portuguese and she speaks just as little English.
Its more exhausting than having a Speak-and-Say narrateMoby Dick.
These are very real people in incredible relationships and that is what makes them so utterly compelling to watch.
So, why does TLC make the show so tedious?
I know you do, because it is mentioned at least three times every episode.
Yes, fans might forget things from one week to the next, but not that much.
Maybe all of the repetition is because each episode is needlessly long.
Thats like trying to turn an Ariana Grande bop into an opera or anSNLsketch into an entire movie.
(Sorry,Waynes World.)
The situations are also seriously over-produced.
Cant we figure that out for ourselves?
We all know the dangers and complications that is the whole appeal of the show.
Even worse is when the show manufactures drama out of talking-head interviews and spliced-together footage.
Above all, the problem withBefore the 90 Daysis that it treats its viewers like idiots.
No one wants to watch that.
We just want to see the spectacular pile-ups of disastrous, international, internet-based romance!
TLC has one of the best jokes going on television.
Just let us sit back and laugh instead of ruining it by repeating, Get it?
