A Mayfield Heights couple appeared Thursday night on “The Marriage Ref” on WKYC-TV 3.

Theresa Argie said she and her husband John were contacted by the show’s casting when they saw her profile online and inquired about how her ghosthunting affected her marriage.

“I knew this would be a great opportunity for me to get the word out about my paranormal investigating,” Argie said.

“Maybe reaching some folks who have (needed) help (in the paranormal sense). Just bringing this once taboo topic out into the mainstream.”

“It’s been quite a ride, but I honestly believe that the whole experience has brought us closer together as a couple. I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Argie said.

Coming up Thursday on NBC, “The Marriage Ref” has its first gay couple – two guys from Tampa who are at odds over a life-size Betty Boop statue.

David Salinero thinks Betty is the bomb and wants to keep her in their kitchen.

His partner Michael Wigh says the 5-foot tall replica of the cartoon icon must go.

Salinero, 44, is a managing editor at Price Waterhouse Coopers and Wigh, 46, is a corporate trainer at Progressive Insurance. Both are Tampa area natives.

They have been together for more than six years and were married in California in 2008 when it was legal there.

Salinero says they were contacted last year by a producer from “The Marriage Ref” who saw their four-minute wedding video on YouTube.

At first, Salinero didn’t think of any major disputes to take to “The Marriage Ref” but the issue over Betty had been brewing for sometime.

A film crew visited their home earlier this year to get footage of the Betty Boop artifact, which stands about 5 feet tall. The couple recently went to New York to tape their segment.

“I’m retired military, 26 years in the Army,” George says. “My wife is a master social worker, working for Orange County. She comes home at 6, 6:30, walks in expecting dinner to be created. It’s OK. When I left home from Louisiana, Mama had taught me the skills of cooking and cleaning. I’m not lazy. It’s that I like to be asked sometimes.”

The McZeals have seen their part of the show, which was filmed at their home six months ago. Was it a good idea to gon on “The Marriage Ref”?

“I think it helped. We already at our church were in a couples ministry that has helped us,” George says. “It was going to be good either way because we’re Christians.”

The Ramundos, married 15 years, submitted an online application after Paula’s friend Lisa heard a casting ad on the radio and thought the pair would be perfect.

“They called me within a week, and then they were here filming a week later,” Paula says.

The crew came four times, beginning in June, and most recently on Feb. 19, when the couple, connected to the Manhattan studio by monitor and earpieces, heard the comments and the call.

Joe found the Village People joke “hilarious.” But what about the Oompa-Loompa jab? “I didn’t like that, cause my stomach’s really not that big,” says Joe, blaming the slant of the tanning bed.

Paula, however, was thrilled that Parker asked to speak with her via earpiece. “She called me gorgeous,” Paula says.

Both Ramundos say they had a great time doing the show, and though they didn’t get paid, they did win a Royal Caribbean cruise.
