Network Preferences and Michael's Personality Conflicts With Production Requirements
Michael is very different from typical 90 day franchise stars due to his down to earth passive nature as contrasted by people like Big Ed Brown and Natalie Mordovtseva who seek drama . This quiet style makes Michael appear unpredictable unlike Angela whose very nature as a controversial celebrity keeps viewers interested and returning to tune in every season. Michael has worked to create more stable foundations since coming to USA.
90 Day Fiancé focuses on stories that thrive from drama so the production may not prioritize the relatively stable Michael instead of volatile personalities of prior seasons. Angela herself would more likely return due to the high drama her character provides . The show mainly casts for highly chaotic personalities for viewing entertainment. There are also various spinoff series that this theory also applies to where shows with predictable outcomes or lower amounts of arguments might not achieve success.
Ongoing Immigration Struggles For Michael and Why He Most Likely Will Not Feature in Reality TV
Michael faces an annulment battle that reduces opportunities to meet show qualifications along with lack of confirmed legal information on his immigration status that means Michael's visa might end up not being renewed placing him in danger of returning to Nigeria in 2025. 90 Day the Single Life or other spinoff shows featuring Debbie Johnson Tania Maduro or Natalie Mordovtseva differ in that most are US citizens with established residency therefore Michael lacks this kind of stability required to fit in a typical show. Angela still feels enraged from Michael's leaving in February 2024 which may increase the dangers if he appears in a future relationship on TV as it would give her additional ammunition. Therefore his personal love life has more to gain through maintaining private rather than sharing in the media as online commentary may not offer benefits. Michael may get more online support from fans regarding his legal situation rather than romantic interests.
The 90 Day Fiancé series has detailed all the trials of international citizens who come to the United States to build long term partnerships which requires a specific K1 Visa giving only three months to determine relationship suitability before having to return. These complex relationships coupled with tricky interpersonal relationship issues often become dramatic points that many fans tune in to witness regularly.
