90 Day Fiancé: Mike Hints At Storyline With Ximena Not Being 'Real'

After Ximena Morales’ shocking secret was revealed on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, her boyfriend, Mike Berg, suggested the drama in their storyline could be fake. Episode 5 showed 90 Day Fiancé viewers a peek into Mike’s first day in Colombia with Ximena, which included them discussing their first night together awkwardly. Apart from humiliating Mike for being average in bed, Ximena confessed to Mike that she would never be able to give him kids. Fans who already think Ximena is using Mike for money and a Green Card are now blasting her for lying to Mike about her tubes being tied and, later, about a hitman ex.

Upon her introduction on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5, Ximena became one of the few cast members who was upfront about a lot of things, such as her wanting a better future for her sons in the United States. Pereira resident Ximena admitted that Mike was paying for her food, rent, furniture and more and that she was still in love with her boyfriend in jail. Something about how Ximena got pregnant during a prison visit by putting her legs up also confused fans. Even on Sunday night, Ximena confessed that it “would be fatal” for her if Mike ended it and left. After all, Ximena also declared, “I feel like I love him,” when Mike looks like he’s more than ready to get down on one knee and get married to Ximena.

So far, the consensus is that Mike is naïve and needs to find someone decent and not Ximena, who has been doing him dirty by lying, disgracing him on national TV and also taking his money. Apart from her being “rude” and a “user,” Ximena having dated a hitman in the past made her look like a walking red flag. Perhaps this criticism about Ximena became too much for Mike to take when he posted a cryptic meme on Instagram. Using the popular “Condescending Wonka meme” that features Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka character, Mike wrote, “You think Reality TV is real? You probably also think I have a real Chocolate Factory.”

Most fans found it odd that Mike, who’s considered the sweetheart of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 5, could trash the show’s “reality” in this way. In fact, his meme is also making it look as if the scenes between Mike and Ximena were scripted. A 90 Day Fiancé viewer, IucyIopez, on Reddit shared a screenshot of Mike’s Instagram Story for fans to discuss what the New York man could have meant. TLC viewer dnlively wrote, “There goes his 2nd season paycheck.” And nycgirl191 wondered, “I think the ‘I never told him I can’t have any more children' is fake drama.”

Some also suspect that Mike is generally annoyed with fans thinking Ximena is a bad person because of her overall edit on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Plus, some fans also noticed that even during the emotional scene in which she told Mike about her operation, Ximena had no tears to cry. And previews suggest there are more dark secrets that Ximena has yet to reveal to Mike. There are clues that hint at Mike and Ximena still being together, so she may not be the bad person in the relationship because why else would Mike be commenting, “Te amo mi vida,” on her Instagram or still buying her expensive cars as fans think?

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
