Angela Deem has discovered metaphors. This is a development nobody requested, and everybody will now be forced to discuss.
The 90 Day Fiancé icon took to Instagram to address the noise around Michael Ilesanmi’s return to reality TV—specifically, that he’s on 90 Day: Hunt for Love while she is not. Her response was not a statement. It was a full equestrian lecture.
“I come from a father that owned race horses,” she began, which is the kind of sentence that only makes sense if you’ve been on reality TV long enough to forget how normal people speak. The horses, apparently, taught her something about life. The first horse out of the gate doesn’t win. The last one does. And Angela? She’s the last one. “Keep watching me because I’m that horse that’s way behind.”
She also name-dropped a specific horse, “Hushdork,” which is either a real animal or a typo she’s now committed to. Either way, it’s the most screen time a horse has gotten on this franchise since someone tried to ride one into a tell-all.
“I don’t watch nothing that you’re asking me,” she clarified, which is exactly what someone who definitely watches everything would say.
Michael, meanwhile, responded to her post in his comments—and, per the assignment, he was aggressively serene. “Ah, the horse race is a very interesting analogy, Angela! I am not running a race with anyone, oh. I just wish everyone a safe and peaceful journey to their own finish line.”
A fan pointed out that by Angela’s own logic, Michael won. Michael replied: “There is no first or second place in life. We are all just walking—or riding—the path God has set for us. I am just happy to be moving forward in Texas.”
Another fan noted he can’t keep her name out of his mouth. “I always wish her well,” he wrote. “I am fully focused on 90 Day: Hunt for Love now.” Which is a very long way of saying “please watch my show.”
So the scoreboard reads: Angela is a horse. Michael is a peaceful man in Texas who has definitely read every comment. And the rest of us are just watching, because that’s what they’ve asked us to do.
The last horse always wins. Except on this show, nobody does.
