Why 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way’s Storyline With Jenny And Sumit Feels Like The Opposite Of The Spinoff’s Premise

Be warned! This article contains spoilers from the recent episode of *90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way*, titled “A Dog’s Breakfast.” If you haven’t watched it yet, you can stream it on HBO Max, but proceed with caution – spoilers ahead!

Jenny and Sumit Singh, who are well-known from 90 Day Fiancé, have been on the show for a long time, and it feels like TLC tries to include them in as many seasons as possible. Usually, I don’t mind seeing them, but I feel the need to share my thoughts about their appearance in Season 7 of The Other Way.

This season, Sumit and his wife faced money troubles, leading them to move in with his parents while they worked to regain financial stability. They’ve since opened a cafe hoping to become independent again, but the storyline feels out of place and suggests they might be better suited for a different reality show than *90 Day Fiancé*.

Jenny’s Refusal To Adapt To Most Of Indian Culture Goes Against The Premise Of The Other Way

What makes *90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way* so interesting is seeing Americans move to other countries and try to adjust to very different ways of life. They often struggle with the customs and expectations of their partner’s family and culture, feeling completely out of their element. It often seems like the couples featured are the ones who rush into marriage and then divorce, seemingly without doing basic research about the country they’re moving to.

Jenny has lived in India for a long time, and we’ve consistently observed her unwillingness to follow local customs. Over the years, I’ve noted my frustration with her lack of effort to adapt to the culture, which probably delayed her husband’s parents accepting her. While their age difference is a factor, as seen in the recent episode, Jenny rarely tries to learn or participate in activities traditionally expected of a wife in India.

Jenny Is Free To Do As She Pleases, But This Isn’t In The Spirit Of The Other Way

I think Jenny and Sumit’s story would have fit better on *90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?* than *The Other Way*. The focus isn’t on Jenny adjusting to life in India, but on Sumit’s family changing to accept her and even challenging cultural expectations. It’s an interesting story that’s worth showing on TLC, but it doesn’t really fit with the usual themes of *The Other Way*.

Matt from 90 Day Fiancé is hesitant to share details about his relationship with Jasmine to his parents, and honestly, his explanation is pretty funny.

I’m glad Sumit’s parents have accepted Jenny, but I’m concerned by her continued habit of being confrontational and arguing with people when there’s a language barrier. While I would understand if she were new to the country, I previously supported the storyline of Kimberly Rochelle and Tejaswi “TJ” Goswami, even though their relationship was difficult, and I hoped Jenny’s situation would be different.

I enjoy watching Jenny and Sumit, but I’m starting to feel like too much of *90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way* focuses on them when I’d rather see the other couples experience the challenges of moving to a new country. I’d prefer the show to feature more Americans adjusting to life abroad, instead of focusing on someone who’s lived there for a long time and doesn’t seem to be learning from the experience.

HBO Max subscriptions begin at $9.99 per month and are the place to watch everything in the *90 Day Fiancé* universe, including all its related shows. For that price (the Basic With Ads plan), you get access to a huge library of movies, TV shows, documentaries, and more. See the deal here.

You can watch 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way on TLC every Monday at 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Even though I have some issues with Jenny and Sumit’s storyline, the season has been really entertaining so far. Don’t miss it to find out what happens with all the couples!
