’90 Day Fiancé’s Chantel & Pedro’s Story Continues on ‘The Family Chantel’
Preview
To 90 Day Fiancé haters, we say: Resistance is futile.
On Monday, TLC debuts The Family Chantel, the latest addition to its megapopular franchise about international couples navigating the U.S.’s K-1 visa process in order to be together.
The docuseries follows Chantel Everett from Georgia and Dominican Republic import Pedro Jimeno (above left), an explosive — and now married — pair from 90 Day Fiancé who won more fans on its also-addictive spinoff Happily Ever After? They’re part of an ever-expanding, bizarrely compelling universe that currently includes 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way (Americans moving abroad for love) on Mondays at 9/8c and Before the 90 Days (nascent courtships), back August 4 at 8/7c.
What’s the appeal of strangers fumbling in pursuit of foreign romance? Most are decent enough folks, but the relationships — full of misunderstandings, petty betrayals, and trust issues — have unleashed their inner demons, and it’s a sight to behold. Unsurprisingly, the families (like Chantel’s parents and siblings, above right) often oppose these unions, echoing our own concerns as they question intentions.
We’re not rooting against these star-crossed knuckleheads, but we can’t very well root for them, either; instead, we just enjoy the cross-cultural train wreck.
The Family Chantel, Series Premiere, Monday, July 22, 10/9c, TLC

Oh please ----------- do not continue with these people !!! Their story actually makes me want to turn off my TV. The hysterical ranting in both of these families is disgusting and irritating !!! We really don't need this in our country - send them elsewhere !!

Totally agree! Pedro’s relatives are annoying opportunists and his anger issues are out of control. Americans should move there if they want these partners.
All a scam.

WTF is this B___SH__!!!!!.....They will give friggin' ANYBODY a TV show....talk about milking some BS....they have taken it to a new level. When is comes to contrived BS the Kardashians are amateurs compared to these ppl. This whole show is so contrived, so scripted, it aint even funny.....I aint made at the family for making the money, if there are people out there who are stupid enough to want to watch this BS......The family talks about 'LOVE', yet they hate Pedro. They talk about going to 'Church' but they are ready to throw down in the street. Dont get me wrong Pedro aint to no saint. But damn.,..just walk away....leave it, leave them alone.....when there is money involved I dont think they can. I watched the first episode to write this review. There will no be a follow up.
