Sorry, Marvel. The cinematic superhero franchise has got nothin' on TLC's super 90 Day Fiancé, the reality series that has spawned over a dozen spin-offs... and counting. (Seriously — expect a spin-off about the spin-offs to premiere on Discovery+ before you know it.) But how did the behemoth that brought us countless Coltee and Big Ed gifs begin? That's where our podcast, TV. Watch. Repeat., comes in.
In this week's new episode, my co-host Allison Piwowarski and I are joined by a special guest and true expert of the 90 Day Fiancé universe, Frauded Media's Katrina, to talk about the humble beginnings of TLC and 90 Day Fiancé, a series that was almost too real for reality TV. We discuss not only the way 90 Day Fiancé was and is sourced, but also other behind-the-scenes production details that you never noticed while watching the series on repeat.
So if you're over 55 percent interested, download and listen to the latest episode of TV. Watch. Repeat. on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, and be sure to check out Katrina's The Fraudcast podcast and Patreon when you're done. You won't regret it, like a journey to America to marry Big Ed.
