Ever since they landed their own 90 Day Fiancé spin-off cooking show Spice It Up With David and Annie, the public's perception of David Toborowsky and Annie Suwan has changed drastically. Luckily, it's for the better.
When the couple first appeared on 90 Day Fiancé season five, David drew the ire of viewers and family members. He was criticized for his heavy drinking habits and past infidelity issues. He struggled to hold down a job and support Annie. David's family members were also skeptical of his young wife. They just didn't approve of the couple's 24-year age gap. Between the interpersonal drama and financial hardships, David and Annie struggled tremendously. At one point, the 90 Day Fiancé stars had to move into a storage unit apartment. However, those who have been following their latest series agree that it illuminates David and Annie's most endearing personality traits.
One YouTube user wrote, "Annie and David have such good chemistry. Glad they proved the 90 Day stereotype wrong!" Another commented, "Is there anyone who's had a redemption arc like David? I loathed him at first and now I think he's awesome." Across the board, users shower them with praise. While some YouTube viewers do point out David's clumsy but earnest attempts at following Annie's lead, they adore him for it. They also gush over Annie for her bubbly personality and natural comedic talent. Virtually all of them agree that they deserve their own real, televised show on the TLC network, especially since the Chantel family landed their own spin-off series, The Family Chantel, against many fans' wishes.

Based on the glowing reviews, it's evident that fans want to see more of David and Annie because they represent an uncharacteristically positive side of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. Typically, the franchise seems to focus heavily on exploiting dysfunctional couples. TLC revels in cultivating personalities that audiences either love or hate and turning the lives of those personalities into a public spectacle. The fact that TLC has only given David and Annie a YouTube series, rather than a televised spin-off, confirms where their priorities are. For once, it's refreshing to watch a 90 Day Fiancé couple that's known for natural chemistry, rather than interpersonal drama. It's clear that David and Annie now have a new and burgeoning fanbase.
Ultimately, despite the fact that TLC continues to peddle couples that disturb and divide audiences, giving David and Annie from 90 Day Fiancé a platform could be a boon to the network. While viewers will always follow couples that exhibit destructive, larger-than-life behavior, there are few couples who are captivating specifically because they're so human and relatable. So, why not give Spice It Up With David and Annie a chance?
