Fans of the reality show 90 Day Diaries enjoy the familiarity of the characters, but they also feel that TLC and Sharp, the production team, underestimate their intelligence. TLC has faced accusations of fakery in the past, which has led viewers to feel insulted. Let’s delve into why fans are ridiculing the 90 Day Fiance production team.
The return of Jenny Slatten and Sumit Singh to 90 Day Diaries didn’t generate a massive outcry among fans, as they appreciate seeing familiar faces they know well. However, a recent scene featuring Jenny and Sumit has left some viewers upset. Generally, fans appreciate the show because it appears less contrived compared to The Single Life spinoff, and the reduced editing seems to leave less room for fakery. Fake storylines infuriate TLC fans the most, and they believe they have discovered more instances of such manipulation, which greatly annoys them.
After watching an episode, a Reddit user shared two screenshots that spoke volumes on their own. The top photo featured the TLC intro, assuring fans that 90 Day Diaries is “entirely self-shot” without producers or crews, as individuals record their daily lives. However, the second photo revealed a segment with Jenny and Sumit where a producer asked Sumit’s parents if they “accepted Jenny.” This stark contrast led viewers to discuss how TLC and Sharp seem to think that viewers are easily fooled.
In the Reddit comments, fans of 90 Day Diaries and other 90 Day Fiance shows pointed out various aspects of the filming process that appeared suspicious. They humorously questioned the number of personal cameras or phones each person had, the conveniently placed cameras capturing certain moments, and even shots from inside closets. Some viewers acknowledged that a previous season may have been genuinely self-taped during quarantine, but they found it hard to believe that the current season followed the same approach. The clarity and perfection of the camera angles seemed too orchestrated, leading fans to find the insistence on the self-taped narrative strange.
In conclusion, while fans appreciate the return of familiar characters on 90 Day Diaries, they feel that TLC and Sharp underestimate their intelligence. The stark contrast between the show’s claims of being entirely self-shot and the apparent involvement of producers in certain scenes has led viewers to mock the production team and question the authenticity of the show’s narrative.
