Why does Catfish insist on telling me the scenario repeatedly after every commercial break. I get it and even people coming in late will get it. It is not like the premise ever changes that much.
I loooove the show but I really want to see a catfish gone wrong. Where the person getting catfished actually has a real reaction. Not the nice and polite reaction we see but an angry beat the @$$ response.
I had a friend who was catfished. The woman was almost ten years older, had a completely different job, and lied about not living with her mom. They met up, she met his friends and family. He figured she just looked a little older for her age. Finally when he kept bringing up why she wouldn't have him over, she fessed up.
When Dr. Phil has on women that have been catfished scammed to the tune of 265k plus, it's a train wreck I had to watch! Amazeballs how gullible and naive these women are. And desperate, which is actually really sad. Giving money to a man they've never met????? One dude even said his name was Max Moose!- the fake photo he was using had an army soldier in his fatigues and his nickname "Moose" was embroidered on the pocket. So the foreign dude thought that was the last name. He called himself "Mr Moose" even.
@syf I saw the Max Moose episode!! That was the day I got hooked on Dr Phil but I really only hope for more cat fishing episodes. Those old ladies are so sad!! They're proud enough that at age 60 they got their first computer and learn how to email. No way they can learn to do a google image search or really dig and research the person. It's so sad and I can't stop watching. I love when Dr Phil Busts the scanner on the air!
yall like my new Avi picture---it is Nene Leakes destroying a Hermes bag with her stupid sayings like "I AM VERY RICH" and "BLOOP" and the oh so brilliant "I LOVE GAYS" ---that she wrote in magic marker to sell for "charity" aka her bank account
I got catfished a few times when I was younger and would go onto the north jersey chat rooms on aol...hell my sons father could actually be considered a catfish
This is a tact that WAAAAAY to many shows use as filler. Into commercial break they tell you what they are going to tell you and out of commercial breaks they tell you what they told you.
Guessing #s here, but in a half hour you get 3 commercial breaks totaling 8minutes, so 22 minutes of show. Then take away 20 seconds of preview/review in & out of commercials and you cut the content you actually need to around 20minutes.
2minutes doesn't seem like much, but it is forever when you are trying to stretch out a turd, and probably saves a lot of production time since the in/outs are basically the same as the commercials, just packaged a lil different.
I love Catfish but what I hate is at the very beginning they give way too much teaser and give away the best part. Now I ff through that and start when Nev and Max are in front of their laptop.
That show hasn't been on in 3 weeks----they replaced it with Teen Mom 2!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of catfish...have you ever been catfished would be a great your turn question

ReplyDeleteThere was one... I don't remember the exact episode
DeleteIt was when the black guy got catfished by the white guy that was pretending to be a girl...he was ready to kill that guy
DeleteThe people who watch MTV are morons and the execs know it?
ReplyDeleteThis can go for any reality show ever
ReplyDeleteI am that person who's going to come in here and say that id have no idea. (Culturally behind the times)

ReplyDeleteClose your legs to married men! HAHA! She is sooooo edgy! 'Bloop!' is going to be my new jam now.
ReplyDelete@Sugar---haha close your legs to married men is a classic though---cant deny that
ReplyDeleteYes it is...I got to use it recently during an argument
DeleteCan't beat "Trashbox!"
DeleteI'm surprised Nene knows how to write @Derek
ReplyDeleteBloop!
DeleteThat is so weird. Magic marker handbag?!
ReplyDeleteI want to watch the "Catfishing" documentary (the one that started the MTV show). Crazy fascinating.
If you're catfishethen you are most likely a desperate idiot who lacks social skills...
ReplyDelete@Pazazz---jealous! I only get to say shit like that to my cat
ReplyDelete@Omar thanks : )

ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure what catfish is. The only kind I know is the one my brother caught (and scared the hell out of him) when we were little.
