90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Loren Allen had his priorities straight before appearing on the TLC reality show. His primary motive for participating was financial, as he was facing money issues.
In the October 31, 2023, episode of The Kiki Podcast, just a week before filming his segment for 90 Day Fiancé, Loren candidly admitted that he had never watched the show.
"I've never seen the show. No idea. just I'm ready for it," he said during the podcast.
At that time, he was struggling financially and joined the show primarily for the paycheck. He shared that his situation was so dire that he couldn't even afford a plane ticket to return from his trip to the Philippines.
"I get paid more the more ridiculousness I do"— 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days star Loren Allen planned on creating as much drama as possible
As stated in his 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days bio, Loren Allen held various jobs to make a living in Las Vegas. He met Faith, a transgender woman from the Philippines, on a dating site, and the two wished to live together.
Loren hoped that flying to the Philippines to meet Faith would be a permanent move and that it would help him achieve financial stability. He planned to devote every aspect of his life to making Faith happy and was eager to finally meet her in person.
However, a week before filming for the season, Loren shared on The Kiki Podcast that his main priority was to earn money from being on the show. He added that he planned to portray as much drama as possible on the screen, which would increase his earnings.
"I get paid more the more ridiculousness I do. The plan is that I just be as dramatic as possible, and this girl in the Philippines is just so jealous of everything that it's gonna be super easy. Like I'll snap my fingers, I can walk out, make her pissed off," he said.
The 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days contestant further revealed that he had only purchased a one-way ticket to the Philippines and didn't have enough money to return home. He admitted that if he found himself stranded there, he would have to start a new life in the country.
Loren had a backup plan in case things didn't work out with Faith: he could either return to the United States—though he would need to sell his moped—or stay in the Philippines and meet someone else. He remained confident about finding a partner, stating that he already had several potential future wives lined up.
“Either I'm gonna marry this girl in America, which means I'm gonna go with my family in Washington, which means either I sell my moped — I just take the plane straight from the Philippines to Washington if she's not what I'm looking for — or I go to the Philippines and I meet someone else,” he said.
90 Day Fiancé star concluded that he hoped to marry "just a regular girl and have ‘ladyboys’ on the side and live in the Philippines forever." However, if he couldn't do that, he planned to return to Vegas and marry a girl named Wendy or Aliko.
