To some 90 Day Fiancé fans, David and Annie Toborowksy are an iconic franchise couple, but to others, they are one of the most overrated pairs in the franchise. The couple has undeniably become one of 90 Day Fiancé‘s biggest success stories and one of its most recognizable pairs. However, there are several reasons why David and Annie have viewers torn over whether or not they are a beloved or annoying franchise couple.
David and Annie have come a long way since the duo met in Annie’s native Thailand and David herded water Buffalo and relied on support from his friend to pay Annie’s bride price. When David first met Annie, he was living in poverty and wasn’t even able to sponsor her visa himself. However, the couple has risen to star in multiple franchise spin-off shows, including some programs that they headline. They have created success for themselves through numerous ventures and are now known for their humorous commentary on shows such as Pillow Talk, as well as Annie’s impressive Thai cooking skills that she shares with David by her side.
In the r/90dayfiance Reddit thread, critics of the couple note the stiff and transactional way their relationship started. Many believed that Annie was originally not into David but decided to marry him to leave Thailand and start a new life. Some also find the couple to be extremely annoying. They are prone to loud jokes and s*xual content that some viewers find off-putting. Others are still skeptical of the couple’s origin stories. “There is something about David that is creepy. What was he involved in in Thailand?” one viewer asked. “Running away from his family/ money/ career problems. Also his kids,” another person wrote back.
Many original 90 Day Fiancé viewers are wary of David, but others have a more favorable impression of both David and Annie. It appears evident that the couple has grown to love each other. David frequently lavishes his wife in compliments on social media and makes it clear that she is his queen and he adores her. Meanwhile, Annie radiates happiness while she cooks and whips up delicious recipes that fans enjoy watching. Some think that the couple has improved as their journey in the franchise continued. According to r/90dayfiance, “It’s their pillow talk that earned them fans for sure. Their actual 90 Day season was painful. With him being broke and a deadbeat dad,” one viewer observed. “Pillow Talk rehabs a lot of couples stock because they can just be funny and other people have to be dramatic,” another fan weighed in.
Overall, viewers theorized that time and a new perspective have caused many viewers to view David and Annie more favorably. Those who only witnessed their season 5 story find David to be creepy and their relationship to be uncomfortable. However, others have warmed up to the couple due to their commentary and newer content and have forgotten the way their relationship started out.
David and Annie are not the only franchise faces to have divided audiences. Russ and Paola Mayfield remain one of the franchise’s most polarizing pairs, while many viewers are also torn over their opinions of Loren Goldstone. Fortunately, David and Annie have managed to flip the script and have become very successful in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise.
