All ’90 Day Fiancé’ Seasons, Ranked From Worst to Best
Now that we’ve hit a dozen 90 Day Fiancé seasons, it’s about time we look back at the best (and worst!) seasons of the series.
Since Season 1, 90 Day Fiancé has followed couples in which one partner is moving to the United States from abroad to live with their fiancé for 90 days on the K-1 visa, before deciding to get married or head home for good. As viewers have seen this season alone, this decision is based on much more than just love. Families, friends, politics, religions, cultural norms, and more all stand between these couples and the end of the aisle. For many 90 Day Fiancé viewers, this drama is what keeps us coming back for more.
Below, Swooon‘s looking back at every season of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise‘s flagship series, ranking Seasons 1-11 from worst to best. Comment below with your favorite (and least favorite!) season and be sure to bookmark this page because we’ll be adding Season 12 to our ranking after the Tell All!
90 Day Fiancé, Season 12, Sundays at 8/7c, TLC
11. Season 3
Cast: Loren and Alexei Brovarnik, Kyle and Noon Boonma, Melanie Bowers and Devar Walters, Josh and Aleksandra Strobel, Fernando and Carolina, and Mark Shoemaker and Nikki Mediano
Let’s face it, there is not a bad season of 90 Day Fiancé, so honestly, it was really hard to pick a season to rank lowest on our list. Seeing as Season 3 was all about the romance and less about the drama, we decided to put this one in our last slot. That said, it’s still definitely worth the watch.
10. Season 9
Cast: Kara Leona Bass and Guillermo Rojer, Emily Bieberly and Kobe Blaise, Ariela Weinberg and Biniyam Shibre, Bilal Hazziez and Shaeeda Sween, Jibri Bell and Miona Bell, Yvette Arellano and Mohamed Abdelhamed, and Patrick Mendes and Thaís Ramone
Season 9 saw plenty of beloved 90 Day stars’ franchise debuts, but we have to admit, nothing too interesting happened during the season. That said, the season lives on with both Kara and Guillermo, as well as and Patrick and Thaís, who are currently starring on 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 3.
9. Season 5
Cast: Elizabeth Potthast and Andrei Castravet, Evelyn Cormier and David Zermeño, Molly Hopkins and Luis Mendez, David Toborowsky and Annie Suwan, Josh Batterson and Aika Batterson, and Nicole Nafziger and Azan Tefou
Much like Seasons 3 and 9, Season 5 of 90 Day Fiancé introduced viewers to fan favorites — Elizabeth and Andrei, and David and Annie — without featuring too many memorable storylines.
8. Season 1
Cast: Russ and Paola Mayfield, Alan and Kirlyam Cox, Mike andAziza Eloshway, and Louis and Aya Gattone
Season 1 started it all with just four couples, all of which featured women traveling to the States to marry an American man. As of 2026, every one of these couples are still together, so you know that 90 Day Fiancé was doing something right picking this crew. Russ and Paola are even starring on the spinoff 90 Day: The Last Resort right now, so it’s clear that the 90 Day inaugural class left their mark on the franchise.
7. Season 7
Cast: Anna Campisi and Mursel Mistanoglu, Angela Deem and Michael Ilesanmi, Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva, Blake Abelard and Jasmin Lahtinen, Robert Springs and Anny Francisco, Tania Maduro and Syngin Colchester, Michael Jessen and Juliana Custodio, and Emily Larina and Sasha Larin
From Anna and Mursel bonding over beekeeping despite not speaking the same language to Tania making Syngin live in her unfinished she-shed, this season had some really wild moments. That said, while couples like Angela and Michael will go down in 90 Day history, not all the couples were as memorable as others.
6. Season 2
Cast: Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali, Brett Otto and Daya De Arce, Danny Frishmuth and Amy Riley, Jason Hitch and Cassia Tavares, Chelsea Macek and Yamir Castillo, and Justin and Evelyn Halas
Season 2 is where 90 Day Fiancé really found it’s groove, introducing couples like Danielle and Mohamed who made us question everything we knew about K-1 visa romance. For some of these couples we were quite literally “waiting ’til the day of the wedding to decide” whether we thought they’d tie the knot or fly home. Plus, this season introduced the infamous Tell All finales we know and love today.
5. Season 10
Cast: Sophie Sierra and Rob Warne, Jasmine Pineda and Gino Palazzolo, Ashley Michelle and Manuel Velez, Devin Hoofman and Nick Ham, Nikki Exotika and Justin Shutenkov, Clayton Clark and Anali Vallejos, and Sam Wilson and Citra Herani
Sure, this wasn’t Jasmine and Gino’s first season in the franchise, but anything those now-exes touched will always rank high in our book. Season 10 included quite a few fan-favorites, like Sophie Sierra, Rob Warne, and Nikki Exotika who went on to explore their single eras in the franchise on 90 Day: Hunt for Love, 90 Day: The Single Life, and more.
4. Season 11
Cast: Matt Jlassi, Amani Jlassi, and Any Aguire, Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven, Stevi Savage and Mahdi Jahromi, Mark Bessette and Mina Mack, Gregory and Joan Kruchov, Shawn Finch and Alliya De Batista, and Jessica Parsons and Juan Daza Londoño
The most recent (full) season of 90 Day Fiancé was all drama from beginning to end, featuring one of the most messy Tell Alls in recent 90 Day history, which even got the least dramatic couple to start an argument with one of the guests. Plus, this season featured the franchise’s first ever throuple… Need we say more?
3. Season 6
Cast: Colt Johnson and Larissa Dos Santos Lima, Ashley Martson and Jay Smith, Eric Rosenbrook and Leida Margaretha, Jonathan Rivera and Fernanda Flores, Kalani Faagata and Asuelu Pulaa, and Steven Frend and Olga Koshimbetova
If Colt Johnson’s 90 Day Fiancé debut lives rent-free in your mind, trust us, you are not alone. After all, “Who is against the queen will die!” That said, all the couples this season were absolutely fascinating. From Kalani’s family drama to Jonathan and Fernanda’s age-gap controversy, there were no weak links.
2. Season 8
Cast: Brandon Gibbs and Julia Trubkina, Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya, Rebecca Parrott and Zied Hakimi, Tarik Myers and Hazel Cagalitan, Mike Youngquist and Natalie Mordovtseva, Andrew Kenton and Amira Lollysa, and Stephanie Davison and Ryan Harris
Speaking of strong couples, Season 8 delivered on many pairs that have remained fan-favorites. This season was all about family drama, namely that of Brandon and Julia, who had to follow strict house rules living at his parents’ house — including the fact that they couldn’t wear clothes in the hot tub. Today, Rebecca and Zied are starring on 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 3.
1. Season 4
Cast: Chantel Everett and Pedro Jimeno, Jorge Nava and Anfisa Arkhipchenko, Nicole Nafziger and Azan Tefou, Matt Ryan and Alla Fedoruk, and Narkyia Lathan and Lowo Shodipe
Sorry, TLC, you’re going to have a really hard time beating this one. From Chantel and Pedro famously hiding their engagement from her family until days before their wedding to Anfisa smashing Jorge’s phone and keying “idiot” into his car for a less than solid reason, no other season can compete with this drama. If you’re looking for a great season to dive into the franchise for the first time, Season 4 is for you!
