The next day they swoop up Rod in his hotel room and deliver him to Ebony where the two of them are going to have a heart-to-heart and and end on good terms, come hell or high water.  Ebony opens the door just like she did yesterday – squealing with excitement and hugging Rod.  They sit down on the couch and Rod tells her in a roundabout way that he hasn’t exactly been using her, but really he just thinks of her as a friend and he’s stuck around this long because of the money. 

“Well I hope you enjoyed owning a cell phone.”

Ebony says she gave him money because he was there for her.  And yes, she lied about one little thing, but everything else was real.  Rod is quick to jump in and point out that the lie was a very big thing.  This is rich coming from this “straight” guy who just found out his girlfriend is a woman, not a tranny.  And let’s not forget KJ and the photos.  Ebony is very insulted to discover that Rod only wanted her money and points to herself, saying “this is what you wish you could have had.”  Actually, no, Ebony.  It appears that Rod has been looking for something else entirely.  But he was hoping to hide it under the guise of being extremely open minded.  You blew that for him by being a plain old girl with no penis.  Rod has said all of three words and now he says he’s going to go and he gets up and leaves.  He gets into the car with Nev and says he just wants to go back to his room.

But Nev doesn’t have his BFF photo yet.  Nor has he received a heartfelt gay confession from Rod, so he runs back into the house to pump Ebony for more info. 

Nev:  “He’s still the guy you fell in love with.”
Ebony:  “KJ?  You’re right, he IS still my KJ.”

Ebony tells Nev that when she was battling cancer, she went on a gay website to try to find a guy who would just be friends with her.  Okay, then why did she pretend to be transgendered?  For the first year of knowing Rod, she was under the impression that he was gay.  She keeps claiming that ALL she wanted was someone to talk to, so I still don’t understand telling him she was transgendered.  That makes it seem like she was trying to bait a gay guy. We never do get an answer to that question.  But anyway, Nev tells her that Rod is clearly very confused and questioning his sexuality, and this could be Ebony’s big chance to be the friend to Rod that he was to her through cancer.  Bravo Nev.  You’ve done it.  You’ve managed to turn this twisted tale into a message of love, forgiveness and FRIENDSHIP.  Ebony goes to the car and assures Rod that she is there for him.  She hugs him and asks if he’s mad at her.  He says no and she says, “I’m not mad at you either.”  Ebony has been furious, then full of forgiveness about six different times in the last ten minutes.  They hug and Nev pats himself on the back.  Problem solved, friendship formed!

Rod:  “So you’ll keep those checks coming, right?”

Late one afternoon in 2005, Honey Gangsta received an invite to join a two person blog set up by her former roommate who had recently ditched LA (California knows how to party) for the bright lights of NYC (these streets will make you feel brand new, the lights will inspire you). The purpose of the blog was to continue their nightly ritual of ripping on reality TV, which could no longer be done in person. Since Honey Gangsta was still watching 18 hours of TV a day and had nothing else to do, she agreed. 10,000 hits later, HG was inspired to submit a Bachelor recap to TVgasm - no one was reporting on Officer Mayo and his time traveling DeLorean - and the rest is history. It's been said that she writes what you're thinking. It's been said she is a genius - a Blogger Laureate of her time. It's also been said that the earth is flat and no one landed on the moon, so you just never know. With her keen observations, and colorful commentary, Honey Gangsta is beloved the world over.

    Ok this episode is why I love this show so much! Like, seriously this is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. You can’t write these twist endings! …or you can, but I would still never see it coming. I was expecting Rod to be excited that she didn’t have a dick though, that one was super surprising. She’s so great and amazing but the minute she’s been castrated he claims it was all for the money. Lol wow. I can’t wait for next week’s.

    I was also surprised with the twist that she’s been supplying him with money. Why didn’t you mention that before Rod?
    And good gracious, the man needs to learn to enunciate his words! I loved when she was trying to understand his real name.
    This was definitely a twist on the same old-same-old episodes we’ve been getting.
    I understand why she wants someone to talk to, someone to be her friend. I also understand why she apparently doesn’t have any in real life, that she has to resort to websites. She’s CRAZY and a bit of a bitch. You lying about your anatomy, is a bit of a bigger lie than your name. If I told my boyfriend of 4 years that my name wasn’t actually my name, I don’t think he would care. If I told him I had been hiding a penis, I think the situation would be a bit different.

    err umm Ebony…auntie Classy here with some information. You live in Atlanta. A city with the second largest gay population in the US (or something like that) take your ass to midtown. You will find some awesome gay guy to be your friend. That will solve your problem lying on your non penis problem.

    And Rod needs to just accept that he’s gay. Mike seemed to be cool with it so just accept it and move on. You’ll be happier for it.

    OMG OMG OMG!!! I have been (im)patiently waiting for this recap since I watched the episode!! You DEFINITELY didn’t disappoint!!

    This episode is what all reality shows should aspire to be. At one point during the “well… I really only talked to her because she wuz payin my cell phone bill” convo, it looked like Max had his head in his hands. Nev looked like he wanted to jump across the console and strangle Rod with his seatbelt.

    I sincerely hope they have a Very Special Episode with Manti Teo.

    I commented previously that the vampire freaks episode was the weirdest fucking thing I had ever seen but probably the healthiest relationship to come from vampirefreaks.com, but this? THIS is the weirdest ficking thing I’ve ever seen.

    I’d also love to know where Ebony works to make enough to pay for herself, her apparent child, and…..some random on the Internet.

    Classy I wonder if it is one of those “doesn’t he know situations” where everyone around knows he is gay except Rod.

    I wonder if he lied about his name because he was worried about “Rod likes the rod” jokes.

    The more I get to know Nev, the more I’m not surprised he got Catfished. Sucka.

    What I want to know is, if she’s only been with women for 15 years and was so ashamed that KJ/Rod would be her first boyfriend – how does she have an 11-year-old daughter??

    I was on twitter while watching this episode and 99% of my timeline was also watching. We spent the time taking bets on how it would end and we were SO confused throughout this episode. This may have been the best episode yet just because it had so many twists and turns

    Okay, I am SO CONFUSED. Someone help me out here. A gay woman is pretending to be transgender in order to internet-date a gay man who is pretending to be straight and also posing as his own cousin? That’s beyond weird.

    @ labowner -
    From his friend Mike’s nonplussed reaction I’d say that’s *exactly* what’s going on. I think Rod is gay, everyone around him knows he’s gay, but he’s choosing the most bizarre and roundabout way EVER to come out of the closet.

    This was the best one yet. I cringed the hardest during this episode, and that’s a tall order.

    PS – Ebony had the nicest house we’ve seen so far on Catfish. The front door thing threw me off too.

    I’m still confused.

    @smango, should the Manti episode qualify as “Celebrity” Catfish?

    @Honey Gangsta This is the 1st time I’ve ever just read the recaps and not watched a show. But I’ve been lurking and having so much fun reading your recaps the whole time!

    I hope you don’t mind I quoted you in that watercooler thread about the Manti T’eo story everybody but me’s so sick of.

    The only reason I’m so fascinated with it is because it’s so unfascinating. There’s even a reality show about it. This stuff’s been going on since back in raw telnet days.

    So the interesting thing to me about the show is that it’s young people that seem to get caught on the hook. When they’re the ones that should know better than anybody that people named blonde18DD are either a group of 14 yr boys at an internet cafe in Romania. Or a 45 yr old siding salesmen named Jeb in a Motel 6 someplace in Iowa.

    With the Manti story, every day something else makes you go hmmm. Except Manti..

    I think Nev has a foot fetish. He’ s always rubbing his feet and playing with his toes. It’s weird. Are Nev and the camera guy dating? Are they the new MTV gay power couple? This show is oddly addictive.

    Does anyone else think that Manti’s “dead” girlfriend is really Nev just trying to drum up more publicity for his show?

    No? Just me? OK then…

    As a person who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 26, I can attest for the fact that she’s been laid up. She probably couldn’t leave the house much, so the computer becomes your lifeline. I don’t blame her for reaching out, as sometimes “friends” have a way of disappearing. However, paying the bills of some random guy you met online that you never ever met in real life? Not the smartest move. I wonder what she does for a living?? What a nice house. And I also wondered the same thing as @Annie- how’d she end up with a daughter if she only dated women since she was 15? So many questions!

    I finally was able to watch this yesterday— and wow–what a lovely home!!!! Nice kitchen–love the wine rack.

    So its being NOT transgendered, but paying his cell-phone bill and contributing finacially yet a mom that is confusing to him???

    yeah—me too!!!!!!
    back to reading—cap code shed some light on this please……….

    ok–cap code says………………….chocolate milk
    Thanks cc

    I wonder about Nev and Max too—-could be a power couple. And Nev has a tramp stamp yes??? Thought I saw it in the Catfish Movie—perhaps these are just things that confuse me ingeneral—I thought that lower back for an angel wings tat was a girl thing—I dont have any tats b/c I am old, and terrified of needles and there is also my inability to commit to even a nail polish color for more than 3 days. But nev–this is sooooooo not about cawfee!!!!!!

    I really hope Nev does a follow up– a Where Are They Now——that would be awesome!!!
