The new season of 90 Day Fiancé premiered on TLC on Easter Sunday, and needless to say, it was just as messy as seasons past.

Longtime fans of the show, however, were quick to note that this season’s couples — who came from a much wider variety of backgrounds than previous seasons’ couples — seemed much more genuine than they had been in Before the 90 Days. At the very least, these couples actually seemed to like one another.

But that doesn’t mean that shenanigans didn’t abound. Miona Bell — a native of Serbia — was noted by some 90 Day Fiancé fans as engaging in “blackfishing,” which is when white people — especially public figures — do everything in their power to appear Black.

Blackfishing accusations aside, this season of 90 Day Fiancé is definitely looking like a barn-burner.

Shadow & Act had a chance to sit down with two of the couples from the show — Emily and Kobe, and Bilal and Shaeeda — to get an exclusive inside look at what we can expect from this season of the show.

And what they said just might surprise you.
