We begin with the boys juggling in a Minnesota hotel room. Then they get an email from a girl in MINNESOTA! Wow, what are the odds of that happening. Hang on, I need my suspending disbelief hat on for this. Okay, got it. Miranda writes that she is in love with two guys that are the same person. Um, okay, that sounds like one guy to me. She has been in love with Cameryn who she knows online but has never met since 2011. He’s really good-looking in a disgruntled youth sort of way. Which is good news for me because people will be googling for ways to meet him, just like they did with the girl from the Faroe Islands last week. YAY! Let’s get this blog done and posted! Cameryn lives in Santa Monica. Except, there is no Cameryn. Cameryn has already admitted that his name is really James and he lives in Atlanta.
So, um, if they call each other every night, how does Miranda not know that she is calling Atlanta rather than Santa Monica? Anyway. Miranda wants to meet James anyway. Because starting a relationship with a three-year lie is always wise. James is cute enough not to need to use a fake picture. Unless of course this is another fake picture. Even as James, he still won’t meet Miranda. Yep, it sounds like James is not really James either.
Nev and Max take the crew to meet Miranda. This season has a whole lot more scenes with parents than they ever had. Miranda’s mother has “terminal Crohn’s disease.” I never knew Crohn’s disease was fatal, I didn’t think it was, but I don’t want to Google it because I will totally get the symptoms. #Hypochondriac Miranda was moving to LA for school to be near Cameryn and he was encouraging her to do it. #doucheCanoe Oh and he says he has a brother or someone with leukemia. Because Miranda is setting herself up for even more heartache, I am not going to comment on the crazy headband. 
The guys do a search and find a guy named James with the same last name who is a sex offender, but he is incarcerated so the rule him out. Then they find an Asian guy named James in Georgia who is associated with the phone number. He looks rather creepy. The boys meet up with Miranda and her friends to tell her what they have found. Why couldn’t Miranda do these simple Google searches for herself? /Tugs on hat of disbelief
Nev makes the phone call to convince James to meet Miranda. James puts up a lot of resistance at first, but then fulfills his contractual obligation to meet her. He is less than excited to meet her.
Miranda still believes the pictures of “James” are real. OMG! This meeting is happening practically in my neighborhood! This should be interesting. It looks like James may bail on Miranda once again. James texts Nev and says his family will not allow it. How old is this guy? But for some reason he is now willing to Skype. Miranda has a sad.
James wants to talk to the guys first. OMG. It’s not the Asian guy but a black chick named Gabby. Gabby is 18 and confused about her sexual orientation. She sounds female on Skype, so how could you have talked to a fifteen year old girl for three years and not know it was not a guy? Miranda still wants to meet Gabby. Miranda is pretty clueless. She needs to get out of Minnesota and live somewhere and learn some life skills.
Why are they going all the way to a park in Hiram to meet Gabby? There is absolutely no one at the park. Gabby sent a text saying she is not coming. Miranda cries and walks away. Max goes to hug her. So that should make it all worth it!
Miranda and Gabby still chat and are in good friends now. Miranda says she and Gabby are flirty. Gabby is going to fly up to see Miranda in MN. Miranda, was willing to take any of the guy choices, and even settled for Gabby. Go figure.
Sadly we never found out who Cameryn really was. Or any of the James choices.
Crohn’s is not fatal. That, for me, was the most annoying part of the episode. Make it sound like her mom is dying. I guess it was an attempt to make us not see how incredibly stupid this girl is/was. I was surprised at the end when they both confirmed basically that they’re still a couple.
Crohn’s complications can be fatal, but using the word terminal was incorrect. It’s still a very serious, potentially dangerous diagnosis with no cure…but she used the wrong word and it bothered me too. However, the most remarkable thing about this episode to me was her willingness to accept who ever it was she was talking to, no matter what they morphed into once the “truth” had to be told. I believe the sex offender would have been okay too, as long as he liked her back.
Exactly, Lisa. It became very obvious that Miranda wanted someone, anyone to love her. It’s okay if it’s a guy that lied to her for three years, it’s okay if it’s an 18 year old girl who began the relationship with her at age 15. Anything is better than nothing. It was sort of mind blowing.

Crohns disease can be fatal. My best friends mother died from complications of Crohns disease due to it attacking her kidneys and liver which caused her to actually turn the color yellow and green because her body couldn’t filter out bile and waste and it eventually killed her. the technical term is “terminal ileitis”. But this show is so over with they are literally milking it dry…
The disease runs in my family and isn’t fatal. Such rubbish.
I have Crohn’s, and have had it for over 20 years (diagnosed at 12, 33 now) – lots of complications, but (obviously) not fatal. Crap (Crohn’s humor there).
My favourite part of this episode was where Gaby’s face appears on-screen and Max just says, “Wow.” Way to boost a girl’s self-esteem, dude.
I never knew Crohn’s disease was fatal, I didn’t think it was, but I don’t want to Google it because I will totally get the symptoms.” ???Same!
This whole episode was a trip. Miranda is so desperate she doesn’t care if it’s male or female. SHE WANTS TO BE HEARD. I don’t know what was with her accent, I found it annoying too. Get a cat or a dog, theylll love u unconditionally!
Now, gabby, Cameron or James or whatever that was, is a horrrible, confused, RUDE, AND INCONSIDERATE human being. If you’re gay it’s ok, COME OUT! was it just me or was she whispering when she was Skyped? Obviously she’s hiding something- And why was she eating or talking with her mouth full? She’s 18,which makes her an adult – her excuse was her “family” wouldn’t let her? She dogged her multiple times and Miranda cries, completely hear broken over whom??? Gabby get some help. Miranda, you’re a pretty girl u can do better, however, I don’t think fashion is your craft, I’m sorry just being honest. And seriously? U still talk to that bitch gabby? Because she flirts with u? U honestly think she’s going to come see u? PLZZZZZZZ. What excuse will it be this time?
Good luck Miranda, should this message find u
Y’all are missing the point here, this isn’t about whether Crohn’s disease is terminal or not. Obviously, it varies case to case. This is about a girl who is so desperate and lonely she’s willing to accept a female. Is she gay? Bi-curious? I don’t even know why they aired this, that bitch didn’t even meet them. They could ha e Skyped before traveling to see her.
No one on this planet can be this naive! Then again, this is catfish.
As many of you have posted, Crohn’s disease isn’t terminal – and the fact that she compared that to leukemia is an insulting. She just wanted someone to “listen and be there” it’s a terrible disease but it’s treatable! I was embarrassed for this poor girl.
In addition to her being so blatantly STUPID, she meets her catfish via Skype after traveling to Atlanta from Minnesota, all this bullshit and it’s some creepy chick who whispers while chomping on her gum OR FOOD claiming her family wouldn’t allow it. WTF???
She says she will meet them at some park the following day and yet again FLAKES and says she’s sorry? Again … DOGGED HER.
Miranda has a meltdown, literally. She’s so lost, needs experience and has A LOT TO LEARN. So, when nev and max follow up, Miranda says there’s still some ‘flirting’ and gabby is coming to see her? LMAO. really??? As if this crazy bitch will show up. Miranda, darling WAKE UP.
For the record, i think we all know the fashion capital is NYC and LA. really?
Not trying to be mean to this poor clueless girl, but she can’t dress, I’m sorry but she can’t even place her beanie on her head right ?. She’s so sweet tho and I wish her well. I’m pullin for ya ??
I wanna strangle this stupid broad. She’s so annoying and has the most obnoxious voice and accent. Minnisotians have THE MOST ANNNNNNNNNNNOYING accent. This episode was CREEPY to me, from the music to the catfish cam/James/Abby. This bitch is scary I don’t know why I even watch this show I was bored and saw it on Hulu. Miranda is is now a lesbian she’s getting married , congrats to her hope it works out should u read this, looks like her mom is well I saw a recent pic on FB.
I cannot stand this broad. What’s up with that voice? She sings when she talks and every now and then her voice gets nasally like she is related to the other jackass, Felipe. And my word. Fashion? Nothing about her spells fashion and to be honest, her styles are like her emotions: confused, conflicted, and butt ugly.
I just want to tell her: talking to that nasty thing, “Gabby”, is pointless and wreaks of desperation.
Why don’t they take all these morons who are so easily fooled by an LED screen and their own fantasies, and hook them up with arch other?
When Miranda says she wants to go to NY or LA because they are the “fashion capitals” of the country to go to the Art Institute,she proved how stupid she really is. Going to the Art Institute when you’re in a city with FIT is like going to Seattle for the coffee at McDonald’s.
My advice would be to stay far away from fashion and LA or NYC. They would chew her up and spit her out before they had a chance to stand up after falling from laughing at her. What a moron. If you want to sing, go to a bar with karaoke-not introducing your “maaaaaam” to the national audience you made a fool out of yourself of.
