90 Day Fiancé: Mahogany Seemingly Discovered In Old Disney Commercial

The mystery surrounding 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days' Mahogany has had fans digging for any information they can find about her, and one sharp-eyed sleuth has discovered what looks to be footage of her in a Disney Channel commercial. Ben Rathbun, the 52-year-old American divorced father who is the other half of this long-distance romance, has been in the dark about Mahogany almost as much as the show's audience. Despite very little confirmation of her actual existence, Ben asserts (based on a three-month-long text-heavy romance and highly suspicious photos) that the 24-year-old Peruvian woman is destined to be his wife.

Reality star Ben's ex-wife and children are decidedly less enthusiastic about his potential of finding true love with Mahogany, having good reason to be dubious since he has been catfished before. At a family meeting, Ben's teenaged daughter took one look at an obviously doctored photo of Mahogany, and her skepticism only increased. Unfazed, Ben headed to the airport where he received a message from his beloved telling him not to come to Peru after all. Discouraged but not dissuaded, he jumped on the plane hoping to finally meet the object of his affection face-to-face. After initially ghosting him at the airport (and for the next 24 hours), Mahogany eventually showed up, her appearance more closely resembling versions that fans have been unearthing than the highly filtered photos he's been sharing on the show.

The woman who finally materialized at the restaurant where Ben waited anxiously certainly looks like recently discovered Facebook photos and very much like the person in the video that Reddit user HolyGuacamole794 posted of two young women in a Disney Channel commercial. While her counterpart's face has been obscured, the other performer, who refers to herself as "Maho," appears to be the person Ben ultimately made contact with in Peru. Other commenters on the thread agreed that the girl in the commercial is likely the same person that Ben is pursuing.

The Reddit user linked back to a post by ClaudiaLima on YouTube featuring the same footage, and several people chimed in. Referring to Mahogany, one commenter said, "A young girl playing with filters? Leave her alone. She is not the only youngster who uses them. It is that 52-year-old letch that needs a talking to." Another said, "She is soooo cute, put those filters away. Your gorgeous without them," and another thought that "both Ben and this girl are paid actors." While it's unclear which direction their relationship will go, Ben departed from the restaurant feeling that he and Mahogany weren't on the same page as they had been over the phone. After embracing and repeatedly telling her that he loved her (and her not reciprocating), things clearly were not quite as he'd hoped.

Mahogany's arrival certainly shocked a lot of viewers who felt that Ben was being played. It remains to be seen if Mahogany is really in love with Ben, but no matter what happens, Ben should probably pump the breaks on this relationship. His children's opinions combined with Mahogany's obvious reluctance to meet with him should serve as cautionary advice. While May/December romances work out sometimes, the odds of Ben finding his soulmate in Mahogany seems unlikely right now.

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...
