Felicia says she just wants to know if he likes her. Mike says well yes, she’s nice and they’ve had good conversations, but that’s it for now. But he’d like to keep talking. Felicia says fine, but she’s clearly exasperated and says she needs to leave. Outside, Mike tries to explain himself some more, saying that he just needs time to build a friendship with her, and if she needed time he would give it to her. When he makes it clear that he would like things to progress, Felicia calms down and says she feels better. Well good.
Two months later! Mike is still living with his parents, but has found a new job and hopes to move out soon. Is he still drawing robot men? Felicia is still going to school in Orlando and she and Mike are still talking. She promises she’s being totally honest with Mike and everyone else too. That’s stellar. Then we get a screen shot that tells us Felicia is planning to move back to New Jersey in six months because when she went to visit Mike they officially became a couple. Aaaawwwwwwwwwwww.
“I honestly love you.”
Well goodness, that certainly wasn’t the shocking season finale that was advertised. There weren’t really any big surprises and this wasn’t the first Catfish couple to stay together. If anything, this was a super mild episode. Was that the shock? The mildness? The lack of gender-based and/or legal scandal? The lack of the all-powerful Google Image Search?? It’s lovely that these two appreciate each other and I wish them all the best, but this definitely wasn’t a groundbreaking episode by any stretch of the imagination. Happiest ending, I guess?
What do you guys think?
Thanks for reading!

This episode SUCKED! In the last few weeks I’ve seen best friends impersonating teen beauty queens, angry trash making up a fake profile to keep some teen mom reject away from “her man”, guys who turned out to be girls, and girls who turned out to be whales. And THIS was the big “shocking” finale? I’m beginning to think advertisers need a dictionary. First Survivor misuses the word “favorite”, now Catfish doesn’t seem to understand what the word “shocking” means. INCONCEIVABLE!
First, THANK YOU HONEY GANGSTA for such an amazing season of recaps!!! This show wouldn’t be the same without your snarky follow-ups!!
Now, the episode… The best thing about it was that I saw a commercial advertising a reunion episode next week (YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!). Other than that, meh. Mike was super twitchy, and it made me nervous to watch him. I actually felt bad for him at the beginning, and was rooting for him and his Kramer-hair to find love. When he and Felicia finally met, though, he turned into a smug dick. I get that he’s been hurt, but geez… After Felicia explained herself, I have to admit, I forgave her lies. Yeah, they were pointless, but I get why she said it.
It was a happy ending, which is…happy, I guess. However, my stone cold, reality-tv-hot-mess-loving heart would have been more satisfied with a real hum-dinger of an episode. I really wish they had rolled out the craziest cray-crays they find. I guess that’s saved for next week.
Thanks again, Honey G! PLEASE tell me you are recapping the reunion!!!!???
Well…………..that was pretty tame. Not “shocking” as advertised. And yet again—we are lied to!!!!!!!!!!
Did anyone else have a chuckle when Felicia and Mike were in the restaurant and she kept pestering him about liking her and being monogomous. I roared–how 6th grade was it???
Fifi of the Salon-you have been lying to him and he isnt so willing to commit himself to you and your lying self. You said you were sorry (at least I think you did) and have owned up to being a liar and gasp!!! Mike is keeping you ata distance. Bad Mike!! You should accept her acknowledgement and give her a clean slate.
oh Lordy–my cap code is……………………..narrow-minded
Gee CC was that directed at me????
Where does she plan on living when she moves back to NJ? Hopefully not with too nice Mike.
Honey, thanks for the recapping.
Let’s hope vampire teeth guy hooks up with vampire chick at the reunion.
Mike may have been a smug dick, but Felicia’s insecurities came roaring out in the form of “sassy black woman” when she immediately began needling him at dinner. He was a weirdo, but SHE was the liar.
Maybe I’m just a sucker for a happy ending, but I am glad they are actually together.
Also, it looks like Felicia has lost some weight…?
Great recap!
well that was odd. the dude was really strange to watch on television. His eyes looked black. Maybe he is a superhero.
@Honey Gangsta Thanks for making such good recaps of this mess.
Specially this episode. I couldn’t make it even halfway through. I guess it was just too shocking.
The shocking thing to me about all the episodes is that the people getting catfished are always so young. And all Nev ever does is stuff like google and look on Facebook. Which nowadays even people’s old MeeMaws would know to do.
We haven’t seen 1 episode where he got a private detective. Or even so much as a paid intelius.
I read an article about the show, and the producers do, in fact, hire private investigators. They also run pyschological tests on the “couples.” It is all done before filming starts. If a person is chosen for the show, they also have psychologists that check in w/ the person after the show.
@plockness monster Thanks for telling me about that. Because I was getting a little bit too pessimistic about the future. Even for me.
Thinking maybe Chelsea on Teen Mom 2 was actually the young generation’s intelligence level new normal.
Can women who aren’t black be sassy? Or is that market cornered?
I guess anyone can be sassy, but then does that mean they are acting like a Black woman?
Inquiring minds..
Oh for god’s sake. It was a joke, and I would have made a similar one if she was white. Some people allow themselves to be sucked in when you swoop in to instigate, but it won’t be me.
So you would call any woman, regardless of race, a “sassy black woman” if they show a little ‘tude?
I guess the market IS cornered.
Thanks for answering my question.
sarcasatire–now you’re acting like the \angry black woman.\
What would have been the joke had she been white?
Yep, you’ve got it alllllll figured out, sarcasatire. Congrats on that.
@Classy: single white female? Desperate white woman? I can’t really say. I’d have to be in the moment.
But definitely not sassy.
Sometimes it’s FUNNY to make a joke about a stereotype when a person is acting like a stereotype. I can’t say for sure, but I bet that’s what the OP had in mind when she made the ‘sassy’ comment.
Doesn’t it get old and tiring to always be looking for racism and/or a fight. This ENTIRE webiste is about SNARK. If you can’t handle a joke then what are you even doing here? Go hang out at the ACLU or something and let the rest of us laugh a little.

If I wanted to be sassy right now, I could deconstruct the shit out of this but I’m not going to.
This episode was boring.
It was so boring, I don’t even really have any thoughts on it.
If they really wanted to end on a shocking note, they would have used the Mhissy episode.
I will never forget the sight of that flower flying through the air and hitting Jasmine square in the torso. So poignant.
Hopefully, the reunion episode is a little more amusing.
The Sassy Black Woman is a well-known media stereotype. It almost has a documented history, having evolved out of the Sassy Black Friend stereotype oft used in rom-coms. Sassy Black Women characters can be found across the media spectrum, shilling for fast food chains, credit card customer support, and cleaning products; they also fill the important “character who tells it like it is” role in sit-coms and rom-coms.

Well, Jessica, The fact that you felt the need to bring race into it and label me an \angry black woman\ for asking a question, tells me everything I need to know about you.
Stay classy, you silly white woman.
(That’s socially acceptable, isn’t it?)
@nwmtv; I know it’s a commonly (read: overused) term, I just found it odd to see it used on non-Black women, too. Showing attitude? Ethnic? You’re acting like a Black woman then! But, if you’re white and acting the same way then you’ll need another nickname, because clearly, white women can’t be sassy.
I think I got it now.
I was trying to figure out what the caucasion equivalent of Sassy Black Woman was. I imagine there’s something close. Silly White Woman is a good start, but I think there’s probably a race-based stereotype that’s better-defined: I dunno, WASPY Maven?
I will admit that when I was making the mini-list of race-based TV stereotypes, I was dismayed that two examples of unflattering black stereotypes occured to me before any other races made second appearances. I’d never dispute that our society has a hell of a long way to go, racial-equality speaking. But TV is happy enough to exploit anyone and everyone that falls into its zeitgeist crosshairs, so I guess personally I wouldn’t even know where to start if I was to crank up the ol’ rage engine… We’re all victimized by a mass media machine that no longer serves us. We serve it.
NWMTV white sassy chicks are called bitches.
I think you’re right Labowner.
@sarcasatire; @nwmtv; There is no equivalent to the “sassy black woman” as far as I’m concerned, but what takes the cake is “the neurotic white woman.” Look at Grace Adler, Ally McBeal, and Carrie Bradshaw as prime examples of this.
@kthxbai: I think a private detective would’ve blown the “Catfish” budget. This isn’t “Cheaters,” after all, it’s only “Liars.”
Ohhhhhhhhh I got you Derek. White bishes be crazy and take a look at one of Judgy’s equivalents.
“single white female?”
You might be onto something here….
Yeah, except I’m Latina. And so is the chick from this episode of Catfish. So, actually you DON’T know quite know all you think you do, but whatva, YOUR TYPE (take that exactly how you want to) is all too familiar to me and I might as well be talking to a brick wall. Have a great day and continue to feel persecuted at every turn. It must be a really fun way to live your life. I feel sorry for you.
Jessie.. nothing about my post was angry. You are the only here who is being directly confrontational and sounding downright ignorant in the process. You know MY TYPE? Fine. Now, shut up and finish cleaning my bathroom.
That’s socially acceptable, isn’t it? I mean, that’s all I see when I watch TV. *shrugs*
My captcha code is “a swift kick does it.” How apt.
@Derek Hazelton Re: This isn’t “Cheaters,” after all
Exactly. And that’s the problem.
@sarcasatire If it’s a white girl then she’s “feisty.” Unless it’s an older person talking. Then she’s a “pistol.”
Wow, Just WOW!
I will tell you this right now, I am feisty, sassy, a bitch, and a pistol. No sterotype here, just the truth. Oh and I am white. But don’t worry, I clean my own toilets, kitchen, basically my house. So there is that.
That comment was fucking rude @Sac and you know it!
I am going to side with Jesse and pretty much everyone else here. You do this all the time, and frankly you are the one that brings race into it.
I can see where Judgy was coming from. That was JW’s opinion. WE are all entitled to our own opinions!! FFS this is about a show about people being lied to on the fucking internet, and people are to stupid to use their skype on thier cell phones…they date and fall in love and just talk for years and never once thing to use skype or facetime…I think every episode everyone has been some sort of stupid…
Now can we get off this race shit and get back to the snark! Fuck it is just like that breastfeeding debacle in a T&T recap a few weeks ago
thisbuggs4u, funny how you find my comment offensive by not the fact that she called me an “angry black woman” for no reason. Then she attributed it to being a stereotype. THAT, you did not find offensive. So, I did the same and attributed her to a stereotype I see on tv and guess what? pearls are clutched.
If we are entitled to our own opinions, then I am entitled to mine. It was a pretty light-hearted conversations until Jessie came in with the name calling. But that wasn’t rude or offensive to you. So… carry on, my dear. Siding with ‘everyone else’ here? No one is taking sides but jessie..so if that’s the horse you bet on, please know that she instigated racial name calling and you’re defending it. I was just curious about ‘sassy’ and ‘black woman’ being synonymous and since the girl isn’t black what are the equivalents for that type of personality in other races. It was a rather civilized discussion until Jessie the troll came back.
If what I said to her makes you butthurt, sorry bout it. (Not really.)
Although, it’s pretty telling that you were able to shrug off her ‘YOUR TYPE’ and ‘angry black woman’ comments to me..
@thisbuggs4u I don’t mean it’s my opinion. Just the words you’re liable to hear. Like any time somebody’s Latin American you can bet some TV presenter’s going to call her “kally-entay” or fiery. Or spicy. No matter what her actual personality’s like. It’s annoying. But it’s 1 of those things that’s so wide spread and stupid you just laugh at it. I’d go nuts if I took it to heart.
Umm I believe that she said you are “Acting” like and not “you are.”
But again, you bring up the race card. again and again…And Yes I am going to side with everyone else this time.
I am just stating my opinion, and it is that my opinion, that your comment was rude!
But you know, if You actually are a sassy black woman, then embrace it, don’t get all butthurt! See and when I see “sassy” I take it as feisty, and opinionated. Sure it can go either way. But you are who you are. –besides, we are all behind computers, what we type is different then how we would say it. Some can interpret the difference, some can’t. The way I saw “sassy black woman” looks like it is totally different then the way you took it.
Shit if someone told me I was white trash, I would say, “yes the fuck I am” but you know honestly we are far from it, we are just living off of a military income in a single household with one person working. So feel free to bash me cause I am “poor” and white, but don’t worry, we can pay our bills.
Again it is a Snark site, can’t we leave the personal attacks and race alone?
And BTW @SAC you are the one that asked if a white woman can be sassy! it is posted in comment #11. YES yes they can
\Um, I believe she said you are ‘acting like’ not ‘you are.’\
Right. Because that makes a difference.
And, who are you agreeing with? Just jessie, not ‘everyone.’ Stop trying to create a pile on that doesn’t exist. She was out of line. You are the only one cosigning that behavior.
Please reread my comment @ #11. I never mention white women. Stop projecting. I only ask about black women and the usage of the term sassy. But I appreciate the white trash back story and how you’ve managed to make this all about you.. Glad to hear you embrace it, though.
The truth is this. You have brought up race a number of times in the past, so don’t act as if this is a subject that you are unfamiliar with here. You are well known as a poster who baits and then pounces. It is odd to me that you usually have others that show up immediately to help you make your point, too. No matter what that point is.
The truth is, you were kicked off of a website for your antics right before you came here.
Don’t SASS me NWMTV!
~WASPY Gypsy Woman.
“Can’t we all just along in the name of SNARK????” Too soon?
Oh. Well.
Never been kicked off any website. But good try. Is anyone surprised Robin showed up? Didn’t think so. Are you done offending people and starting wars on the Mindy Mcready article?
Again, take note of how civil the discussion was until they showed up. Everyone posted on the “sassy” subject and no wars started. Until..
Whoaaaaaaaaa everyone… I ask in the name of civility to stop this before things are said that can’t be taken back.
I am no innocent wall flower when it comes to the occasional comment war but please! White trash, Wasp, sassy black woman or Caliente latina…let’s please not do it.
I am being as human as I can here. Please. Please everyone stop. Take a step back. This is a snark site we all love. Don’t make it a war ground for stereotypical slurs. We’re all much better than this.
Mindy McReady article?
You may want to read that thread again before you climb up on that high horse.
http://www.tvgasm.com/watercooler/r-i-p-mindy-mccready.html
You can’t go off on a race….speech(?) and then ask to leave race alone.
If you want to leave race alone and go back to making fun of people on the internet, then just do it.
Nev is probably looking at the number of comments on this thread and thinking he’s hot shit…and then he reads the comments and finds out that they aren’t all about him and he’s even more heartbroken than when he found out Megan was really Angela. Poor Nev – just can’t catch a break.
@Chaos, are you referring to me? I was snarking with NWMTV then realized that the rest of this this is starting to getting too real.
I just don’t want this to get too far down the wrong path. It’s late…it’s Monday and it’s a full moon.
Please, everyone just put it aside, let’s not hurt each other beyond all recognition. I really am asking all of us, me included, to just call it a draw. This is the first time on this site I feel like it’s not going to end good b/w most of us ‘regulars’. A major stereotype war would be a shame, a real shame, all 360 degrees of it.
I am not casting aside anyone’s feelings at all, just please everyone…
I agree, Gypsy.
And what’s worse than casually tossing out stereotypical name calling, is to tell people they have no right to be offended by it. If you embrace slurs tossed at you, fine, but truth is..you shouldn’t.
Anyway, back to the show. Lackluster finale. The non-tranny episode was better.
I will continue to snark and that is all. If it has to do with a show, that is the only time you will see me.
We have had this go around before, I am done.
@Chaos, are you referring to me? I was snarking with NWMTV then realized that the rest of this this is starting to getting too real.
No I wasn’t lol.
I appreciated your snark for what it was.
What I said was more aimed towards thisbuggs4u and jessiecpt.
Although I was trying to avoid naming names so thanksss for nothing.
Jk.
The non-tranny episode would have also been a valid finale episode.
“My name Rod”, “she got the same thing we got”, and the look on Rod’s face when her non-trannyness was revealed will always put a smile on my face and a chuckle in my throat.
It’s funny to see all the SJWs fighting about race and then casually throwing ‘tranny’ around, since tranny is considered an anti-trans slur.
Rupaul has a song called Tranny Chaser. She is one of the biggest advocates I know.
Meaning, it isn’t her intention to use it a slur nor is it mine. Nor, do i believe it was chaos’. I apologize if anyone is offended.
I’d way rather be sassy than desperate or psychotic. All of which I sometimes am.
C’mon guys. I didn’t mean to start this. Opinions may differ on who the instigator was, but I definitely didn’t mean anything by my original comment and this is so silly. All together now, “It’s the INTERNET”.
Although I will say that Sarcasatire, I do find you to be a classic instigator. You insert yourself in a situation, bait, and then when someone else comments you point the finger at them turning to thread into something else and that before they came, you were “lighthearted” or “joking”. Sure, it seems like that on the surface but there are tones of an ulterior motive in some of your comments. It’s extremely passive-aggressive and I’ve seen you do it on a lot of other posts. I just never said anything because I was never the target and I don’t at all think it’s worth it to get into it. You have a lot of people under your thumb but I am not one of them and typically roll my eyes and leave whenever I see you coming, which is what I shall do now.
Continue your discussion about racism, but someone above mentioned the term “Rich Old White Man” and I don’t for one second believe someone else might throw a term like that around or hasn’t already on this site, and did it mean anything? No. And neither did my comment. Sorry to who I offended but don’t act like I’m the only one who says stuff like that and this explosive thread was completely unnecessary.
Cock!
I love when the \politically correct\ show their true colors (is OK to say that ?? :/)
BTW, Isn’t Felicia Black?
I like the idea of this show and the recaps and comments are the best (without these silly race discussion) but this ep was a bore!
ANYWHOOOOOOOOOOO
Does anyone else agree that Max is hot?? Love the young-ish, silverfox look. This does NOT include Taylor Hicks.
Didn’t mean to offend any transsexual or transgendered people, my bad.
I think Max is hot! I think he’s much more attractive than Nev, actually.
Now I am totally confused. Do we have two JudgyWudgy’s?
Chickenlips he probably got real excited that he received a google alert and then it ends up being this.
Okay, Judgy, now you’re reaching. First off, to say you stay out of the fray is laughable. You are always inserting yourself in some little skirmish, being both condescending and, well, judgemental. For years, I’ve seen you go at it with others. I made no comment about you on here. I asked a general question, and while it was related to your post, there were no personal attacks involved. The discussion was civil. It wasn’t until Jessiecpt appeared and started trolling that things got heated and I specifically called her out for it. Did I mention your name once? Nope. So to both act victimized while calling me out (classic behavior from you as well) is unnecessary.
I said I was done and I am. I don’t have wars on here. There is one person who loves to pounce but as you can see above, when they appeared out of nowhere with their silly antics, I recognized it, called it, and moved on. To say that I start comment wars over the Gasm is silly because I’m sure posters on here can recognize that I am never part of any fight besides the occasional one with the person (not) mentioned above. Nice try, though.
Oh and ya’ll need to back up off my Max! I love a premature graying guy with a lot more common sense than Nev.
Max has too much hair for my taste.
At least it’s not all on his chest. Nev looks like a Kirby is crawling out of his t-shirt. lol
I notice we don’t have the same taste in men, Lab, since you love Aziz.. So that means we can double date. As long as your date is paying. Hey, he’s richer! Mine is the 3rd cameraman on a MTV reality show.
I HATE Teresa
@sheesh – you owned the comments with that one word. Cock is a powerful thing.
haha! Wow! NOT angry AT ALL sarcast-bitch. NOT one bit!! Thanks for the laugh. You are a sad little woman aren’t you? As I said before, it really must be hard to be you. Seeing insults in every glance and every comment. Poor thing. Maybe I will clean your bathroom. I am a neat freak and it just might brighten your day a bit. Poor thing. Where do you keep your rubber gloves?
Oh, and just because someone disagrees with you and doesn’t post to this website 500 times a day, it doesn’t make them a troll. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it angry girl.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
End scene! Enough of the fighting now back to the recap…
Of course he will pay Sarcastire. Entertainment 720 is taking off. The IPO is around the corner and Max can document all the success.
Haha! E720 is the bomb! I smell success! That is, until Jean-Ralphia starts counterfeiting euros.
E720 is no longer around. Now he owns Rent-A-Swag!!
Plock – your harshing my mellow man.
What? Are you saying I was Catfished by Tom Haverford? Entertainment 720 isn’t real? His real name isn’t Tom? He doesn’t live in Pawnee, Indiana?
@chickenlips. #43…..YES!! Nev is probably out there lurking on the web and says “OMG I am buhhhhlowing up on TvGasm,” only to find out it’s a bunch of people bickering.
Getting back TO THE EPISODE, it sucked. There. I hope Nev at least read that! LOL
Ew, now I have this vision of Nev……lurking. Creepy.
Nev definitely lurking…..he’s hiding inside under a cover of his own chest hair, waiting for the right time to burst forth and reveal himself.
LOL @Chaos… amazing..
I just watched the Reunion episode (is it going to be recapped on here? It should be!) and Nev and Max are discussing SNL’s parody of Catfish, and mention the one thing missing was Nev’s lush forest of chest hair lol…
I too found this a lackluster episode, but isn’t it the only one where the couple stayed together? The gay couple was revealed to have split up so maybe that’s why they ended with it, making it clear the show was in favor of happy endings and not just trying to exploit people. Sure MTV, sure.
The reunion was interesting if only to see how NO ONE has changed at all since their show aired, except Max who lost quite a bit of weight. There was a great moment where Nev calls out Rose when she says she is still in touch with Kari Ann, but aside from that the main thing that excited me was talk of the next season as they alluded to it being much “crazier” and having much more complicated and tangled tales of deception. (rubbing hands together in anticipation)
I meant Mike, not Max! Mike lost weight. Max stayed just as he is: perfect.
With every comment poor Nev is curling tighter into the fetal position in the corner because 1) the comment war took a strange turn and he can’t figure out what the hell is going on and 2) the general consensus is that Max is hotter. I’m almost willing to say Nev is hotter just to throw him a bone. Delurk, Nev, delurk and announce your presence!
And when you do, maybe bring Max with you?
