90 Day Fiancé: Why Kara Bass’ ‘Cougar’ Comment Isn’t Appropriate
90 Day Fiancé fans don't think Kara Bass should call herself a cougar just because her beau, Guillermo Rojer, is six years younger than she is.
New 90 Day Fiancé star Kara Bass has declared she is a cougar for dating her 23-year-old partner, Guillermo Rojer, but viewers think it wasn't a suitable remark. Fans may know Kara from the current season 9, where she appears with her young beau. During the introduction segment, the couple revealed that they met when Kara visited the Dominican Republic for work. After a memorable fling, the Virginia native fell in love with the Venezuelan man, leading them to move in together. Soon after that, Guillermo proposed to his older girlfriend, and she said yes.
Unfortunately, the pandemic caused the couple to be apart for months until they finally reconnected in front of cameras. In 90 Day Fiancé season 9, Guillermo and Kara try to make their relationship work, and viewers will find out if they'll have a happily ever after. Fans have been fairly positive toward Kara and Guillermo's storyline. A big reason for the good reception is Kara's history with Guillermo, which sounds authentic to the audience. The couple has spent a decent amount of time with each other, and hence they do not seem forced like some other couples.
After watching the first episode of 90 Day Fiancé, fans think there are a couple of red flags in the couple's relationship, with the biggest being Kara's attitude toward Guillermo. Fans believe that the 29-year-old reality star is constantly emasculating her man in front of the cameras, which could be detrimental to their relationship. Kara has referred to herself as a "cougar," and fans dislike her comment because she is just six years older than Guillermo. A fan, u/BigA**SackOfTree, wrote on Reddit, "She went through all her personas like the wheel of fortune wheel and it landed on cougar. I find her tiring and annoying." Kara continually mentions that her man is young, while she's not even 30 yet, so it is understandable why viewers aren't thrilled about her comments.
However, there are more reasons why fans think she's being extra by calling herself a cougar. Another Redditor wrote, "I get the feeling she can't wait to dangle her age and maturity over him." After watching Kara talk about her age gap with Guillermo, it does seem that she's preparing to have a new point to boast about once she turns 30. Kara using the term "cougar" so lightly demeans all the relationships in which a woman is older than her man.
Some 90 Day Fiancé fans also think that Kara's comments probably show another side of her, which isn't that nice. A different Redditor wrote, "She's prob just a b***h, and will treat him like a child because he's a Foreigner and a little bit YOUNGER." The viewer also claimed that it could be that Kara thought of herself as better than her boyfriend because "she's so experienced and has had so many job titles. She prob treats EVERYONE like there stupid!!!" 90 Day Fiancé viewers think that Kara has the potential to be a fan favorite, but her comment was thoughtless.
