On the TLC channel there is a new show called '90 day fiancé' it premiered yesterday and runs every Sunday @ 10pm EST

Since it is TV so far it seems a bit dramatic and over the top...I would almost say staged, nevertheless it covers a very interesting theme (especially for some of us who have considered this) and I believe it might be worthwhile to check out. A video clip of a commercial for the show can be seen here.
The first episode was actually very interesting with American men profiled who had gone to Brazil, Colombia, and Russia to meet their fiancées. It seems other episodes will profile women from Philippines and Ukraine. Some of these women are definitely stunners, especially the Colombian chick who’d be an 8.5 in USA![[Image: 138921953557414307600501197_90DF_Bonus.jpg]](http://netstorage.discovery.com/feeds/brightcove/asset-stills/tlc/138921953557414307600501197_90DF_Bonus.jpg)
or the Brazilian who is an 8. All these American guys have definitely dated up, especially a nerdy, overweight IT guy from Cleveland who met a Russian 7 from a tier 2 city. He has decided to get engaged after only one 6 day trip to Russia to meet his girl and once she comes to USA they have not even banged yet...same thing for the Mormon guy who met a cutie from rural area of Brazil. This show seems to give hope to many American guys due to the girls relatively young ages and beauty. Some of the girls seem to have ulterior motives and raise red flags, for example the Russian girl Aziza had applied for a work visa before and gotten rejected BUT shoot, at 35 I myself would probably be willing to take these types of chances as well for some quality pootang. lol
The show tends to focus a lot on the K1 visa process (have to marry within 90 days or the fiancée could be deported) so all these couples seem to be under extreme pressure and some of the women you could tell were not handling “the spotlight” too well. Nevertheless watching all the drama, especially when these women get introduced to the guys families/friends and the drama that fallow’s gives me a bit of a “guilty pleasure”. This show also provides some of us with a decent idea of the quality of what’s overseas and even “desperate measures” some American men would take to spend hundred’s of hours and thousands of dollars to do almost everything in their power to avoid tainted American women. While data sheets are cool and so are the bang travel stories sometimes it is also nice to hear about mini-relationships and marriage stories (especially for us older members on these forums) that others seek abroad. So to conclude just wanted to get a lively discussion going about what you guys think of this trend.
