Does anyone else think it is so odd that on 90DF the couples will have serious conversations about private things such as finances, family plans, etc. in front of their friends and family? And the friends and family partake!?

Like for example, last night with Miguel and Ashley. Why is it her friends business how Miguel and Ashley handle their finances in the future as a married couple!?

I know these are likely production fuelled conversations for the drama, but damn it’s so awkward to me. I’d never sit down with my friends/family and start delving into the intimate personal details of my relationship especially after they’ve just met my partner.

    From a story telling standpoint it adds some spice and drama to the scene. It’s especially important since a lot of these scenes are pretty repetitive – someone having an argument about money over and over. By having different people around or changing locations (eg moving the argument to a car, or to a restaurant) it makes the scenes more visually dynamic for filming.

    Lol is so awkward to watch, whether its pushed by production or otherwise. I was on a k1 and could not imagine airing our relationship on this show for any amount of TLC $$. But i stay watching these others on the show lol 😂

    I agree. It was awkward and rude and we understand why it needs to happen but it still was unpleasant to watch. I guess they have to ask themselves - do I want to upset my spouse, make them look like a jerk on TV, cause problems within our relationship, make myself look like a control freak while I try to profit off all of this or do I want to live privately, work on my disaster of a relationship and not have the world watching while I get a real job and support myself like everyone else?

    I’ve had similar conversations with my mom. She used to complain to me about my stepdad when he was alive, and I complain about my husband to her. It’s a safe place for us because we know the other won’t say anything to anyone. I discuss my disabled BIL living with us, the frustrations that go along with that, our finances, buying a home, babies, etc.
