These show ended last night. I have to say that it didn't surprise me that all the couples eventually got married. Even those foreign fiancees that didn't love or want to get married would do so knowing that they were being tapped and that INS/ICE (or whatever Immigration is called nowadays) would see this and if it looked like things were "kosher" then they would be denied their change of immigrant status. Two of the couples (from Russia and the Philippines) didn't seem, to me, to be a good match - for various reasons - while the other two couples (from Brazil and Colombia) did. I still say that the tag-line that these couples "have" to get married within 90 days is not true. These couples have 90 days to get married WITHIN the US and then if not they have to leave the country - the non-US citizens that is. No one (ie the US State Department, INS, etc) is forcing anyone to get married. They just have a time-limit to do so in this country. Also the K- 1 Visa is not intended to have people who don't know each other to get to know one another. It is solely meant for the foreign citizen to come and get married. The couple are expected to know each other and have to prove their ties before the visa is issued. This was one of those shows that could be considered "fluff." There wasn't much content, but you still wanted to watch - just in case there was later on. I heard they are making a 2nd season and will probably watch that one too (having a DVR that tapes 7 shows at once makes doing things like this possible - back when I could only tape 2 shows at a time I would have had to be more selective.)
