Catfish

[mrveggieman]

Does anyone look at Catfish on MTV? Has anyone one here ever been catfished? Have you catfished anyone? What is the purpose of chatting with someone online if you are going to lie about everything?

seen it a few times, never seen them meet someone who was who they said they were.
people feel like it is ok to lie online, not sure the purpose, but the feel safe about it.

I looked at it last night. It is one of my favorite shows. Is it me or did the guy from last night look a lot like Grevis Vasquez? Also I think that jilted lover catfished himself.

That show is super fake. Supposedly they found a casting call for people doing a catfish, which means that they already know from the start how it is going to go down.

I watch the show from time to time. I watched one over the weekend and in the initial interview at the beginning of the show the girl had a friend with her. Come to find out, the girl set up the account and had her cousin or brother talk to her on the phone. I sometimes question the authenticity due to some of the twists I've seen, but the reactions are pretty genuine from what I have seen. If they fake these stories the actors are very good actors. I'm sure there is some embellishments even if they are legit stories. I do find it weird that the people have doubts but don't do their own investigation. It's not like the guys have any special ways of finding things out. they just do google and facebook searches and image searches and such.


I've never catfished or been catfished. I can see how someone would get addicted to doing it. They can be whatever person they want. It does suck that they end up hurting a person in the process.
