Although 'Catfish' was novel and fresh when it first hit the MTV airwaves, it is now old and tired and needs to be put on a shelf somewhere.
Why am I saying those harsh words? 'Catfish' has nothing new to offer. It's the same archaic formula used by the show's two 'trackers', Nev and Max, every single time ~ i.e., someone thinks their Internet love who looks like a) a supermodel or b) a male hunk, might be fake, as they haven't met after just chatting for over eight years (you think)? Enter the guys from 'Catfish' who do a reverse google search on the photos, and run the phone number to see if it's legit. Do you mean to tell me these potentially duped individuals couldn't come up with that on their own by now, after seeing 'Catfish' for FIVE years???
Having milked this 'Catfish' for all that's its worth, its time for it to go the way of another MTV show, 'Jersey Shore' ~ also kept WAY beyond its time! Must be something in the water at this network!

These two California cuckoo birds are catfishing everyone who takes this show seriously. I suppose it can be entertaining if you accept the fact that this is likely staged television. I read that Schulman was expelled from Sarah Lawrence College. That story is probably more interesting than this dreadful show is.
When I was in high-school, I accidently met a girl online while playing an internet role playing game titled IMVU. We ended up talking and eventually dating which eventually led to me driving out to meet her, she lived in Maryland while I lived in Pennsylvania. That experience makes Catfish all the more engaging for me to watch as I can Relate to alot of the emotions that are being felt by people that are going through these events! I've felt the nerves, I've felt the doubt, and I've felt the love that you can feel simply from talking to someone online. If you don't have this type of experience you may not understand or connect the show as much but it is definitely a great service to help these people get that little push towards meeting who they believe they are in love with and onto of that, makes for a great reality TV series.
I used to like this show until the hosts started using it to push their democratic agenda down viewers throats, with the T-shirts they wear.
I seriously doubt that Nev ever wears any/most of these shirts outside of the house/studio, it's clearly just for SHOW.
SO FAKE

It's all scripted Nev Schulman is a liar look it up and do the research you'll find out that past employees have been threatened by the management that if they don't lie then they are terminated.
