He explained to Rico that he hadn't committed the crimes, but because he'd been an advocate for a bus route in his community, people assumed it had to have been him. By the end of the episode, it looked like this was the start of a. For now, I think it'll just be me for a moment. At least they have their love for each other in common. Rico, however, is having his doubts and feels deceived. Can anyone else follow this tangled web Rod and Ebony wove? I made that name up when I was 18 and, yes, sometimes I regret it.
Ja'Mari had told Rico he was a successful model, and even sent along some pictures. He's just left the Army and is considering a move to the U. Will Ja'mari finally be ready to make that happen? Over the year and a half since their episode was filmed, Chelsea became comfortable with her sexuality and started working with bullied kids online, while Sunny got made fun of by her sister and seemed to hold a grudge. Okay, so James might be a bit crazy. Not only did they sit far away from each other, Nev and Max acted as human barriers between them. Kya wasn't too bothered by the revelation, and the pair started dating by the end of the episode. When Nev and Max meet up with Rico they realize this kid is in deep.
Who knew it was possible!? After the episode aired, Dorion and Raffinee were still together, but in an , the couple didn't seem like they were on the same page in their relationship. After five years of studying dance and performing internationally as a child, he began taking photography seriously in high school. Less than a year after their episode aired, Dani tweeted that he and Kya were no longer together. And then Rod revealed he continued to speak to Ebony online only because she was sending him money. Meanwhile, James has also maintained a Twitter presence, though it seems like he's deleted his public Facebook page. Matt and Kim: Thankfully, we ended on a happy note. Dorion ended up choosing Raffinee over Alexis, which she didn't take too well.
Rico needs to know if he and Ja'mari have a future together before he leaves the country. James had said he was a male model, when in fact he was trying to get back on his feet after being in prison for. At least we had one legitimately happy ending! Guys, these two are seriously the cutest! If only it would happen every week! Noticeably absent: Kaya and Dani, Rod and Ebony, and to a lesser extent, Tyler and Aaron and Mike and Felicia. But unlike Rico, it doesn't seem like he's interested in rejoining the public eye, instead using his Twitter to talk about shows he likes and music he enjoys, just like any other person on Twitter. The pictures actually proved to be of Ja'Mari, but the modeling career was a fabrication. What did you think of the Catfish reunion? Will you tune in for Season 2? But they promised that they've remained friendly and it doesn't seem like there was any lingering anger or animosity between them.
Ja'Mari wasn't even his real name. She actually turned out to be Alexis, a young woman who created the profile when she didn't know anyone in her new town. When we left the episode, Ashley and Mike were on good terms and still in contact. I know, it's pretty difficult to maintain a long-distance relationship with someone who you've barely spent any time with in person, but, dammit, Catfish kind of made me believe it would work. Sunny was the very first person to appear on Catfish. It's disappointing to see, especially as a fan of the first seasons of Catfish, which seemed more like a real chance for people to fall in love, and less like a twist-filled thriller the way it has more recently. Ashley was hesitant to forgive Mike at first, but then she decided to give him a second chance.
But while he was happy to see that Ja'Mari looked exactly as he thought he would, but he wasn't who he thought he was. Rico thinks their relationship could blossom into a real romance, but Ja'mari's intense schedule as an international male model has made meeting up difficult. The main thing that keeps Rico in the States is his close online friendship with Ja'mari. As for what James is doing now -- he's a bus driver, having gotten his certificate while in jail. Unfortunately, shortly after the episode aired, at the airport when she came to visit him, and their relationship was over. Welcome to my blog, NoWhiteNoise.
At the meet-up, James explains that he got a bus route started in his poor neighborhood when he was 14, and 4 years later he was falsely imprisoned for the crime that Nev had found on the internet. Sunny and Chelsea This is the one that started them all. Lauren and Derek Oh, these two. And back at the hotel he gets even more upset when they discover that James has actually been arrested for impersonating a bus driver and stealing buses to drive them along their routes three times. His real name was James, and he'd spent two years in jail for committing a bizarre crime. Luckily with Nev and Max's help, the pair finally met and Felicia turned out to mostly be the person she said she was, give or take a few details you can't be too picky when you're on Catfish, right? Lauren chatted with Derek for eight years on MySpace before meeting for the first time on Season 2 of Catfish.
James had stolen three different buses and driven them on their routes. Poor Rico just looks devastated, but when James calls to meet up with them later that night to explain himself, Rico agrees. Hopefully that means he's been able to move on from his conviction. But , a transgender man. The couple was able to get past James' deception and are still happily in a relationship. .
Then she told Nev and Max that she only spoke to Rod because she thought he was gay, and she just wanted a friend. Rico was pushing for the truth because he was facing a difficult decision. Now, according to his Facebook, Rico has decided that and he's using his fans from Catfish as his audience. Oh, and in case you were wondering — Ja'mari and Rico aren't even following one another on Twitter, so I don't think this Catfish Season 1 couple will be back together anytime soon. If this couple couldn't stay together, is there any hope for the rest of us? That's why we've done some fishing of our own to see who among some of the most memorable Catfish couples are still together today. Even though we're about to meet a whole new group of catfishers and catfishees, we can't help but wonder about the relationship status of the couples who appeared on the first two seasons of the show.
Matt has lost 200 pounds since the show. Felicia's current Twitter profile photo shows her kissing another man, so it's safe to say she's moved on as well. I love this so much. To everyone's surprise, Derek actually turned out to be exactly who he said he was, and the two became a real-life couple in no time. A lot of people on Catfish are just so clueless, like, damn, you didn't even think to google that shit? During the episode's epilogue, we learned that Mike and Felicia officially became a couple, and Felicia was planning on moving back to New Jersey to be closer to Mike.
