90 Day Fiancé: Mike Praised By Viewers For Embracing Stepfather Role

Numerous 90 Day Fiancé franchise cast members have tried and failed to persuade their partners to become stepparents to their kids, but 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days newcomer Mike Berk has wholeheartedly accepted the role of stepfather to the enormous praise of viewers. Kindhearted American Mike was devastated when his Colombian partner Ximena Morales Cuellar admitted to him that she had electively been sterilized following two difficult births. Mike was initially heartbroken to realize that meant he couldn't have a child with Ximena, though viewers were touched with how openly he accepted being a stepfather to Ximena's sons Harold and Juan.

Before The 90 Days season 5 viewers have so far declared Mike their favorite cast member of the season. The American man is the rare cast member who is so far not harboring a secret or lie when it comes to his romance. Mike already demonstrated in New York that he cares for his elderly grandfather, and he was quick to accept Harold and Juan as his own as he lavished them with gifts and joy upon their first meeting. However, many viewers are not happy with Ximena. Fans distrust the single mother, as it appears she is simply using Mike for his lavish gifts, financial support, and potentially a green card. However, viewers are completely backing Mike especially when he told Ximena that raising her two sons with her would fulfill the role of becoming a father that Mike has always hoped for.

U/akarma23 took to Reddit to declare Mike and Ximena their favorite current couple after Mike told Ximena, "We can raise Harold and Juan together." Many commenters declared Mike the ultimate catch and believe that he can land someone who reciprocates his feelings more than Ximena. "The dating pool for Mike has been exponentially expanded because so many women realize he exists now. A kind hearted goofy guy with no kids who wants a wife and family?" one top commenter wrote. Many viewers were floored by how genuine and kind Mike appears. "I genuinely feel so bad for this guy, she is takin’ him on a ride and he’s going to be flat-out heartbroken soon enough," another fan wrote.

While Mike's words touched many viewers, few fans are trusting Ximena and instead believe she is taking advantage of Mike. The single mother has been accused of being manipulative and deceitful, which led to many viewers urging Mike to leave her before a proposal and marriage. "Lol Mike needs to run for the hills at this point," one commenter observed. "Run Mike run. She can be a good woman but not sure in my opinion you two together will be peaceful," another fan weighed in. Though some viewers doubt that Mike will get the opportunity to be a stepparent given clips for new episodes showing Ximena admitting she doesn't love Mike, social media evidence suggests that Mike and Ximena might still be together.

While viewers were deeply touched by Mike's response to being a stepfather, many fans were shocked by Ximena's actions. Ximena waited until she was intimate with Mike to reveal that she couldn't have children even though she understood how important having kids is to Mike. Furthermore, when Mike declared he was upset with Ximena for withholding that knowledge, she told him that he couldn't just abandon her boys after he met them. Viewers believe Ximena was grossly irresponsible, as she manipulated Mike and her own children into trying to rope Mike into the relationship with her under false pretenses. While 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days viewers are rooting for Mike, many think that he deserves better than Ximena.

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...
