And that’s not even mentioning the classic episode with the 19-year-old farmhand who was convinced he was dating Miss United States Teen 2003 and Playboy model Kari Ann Peniche, or the hopeful who thought she was dating Bow Wow after “he” sent her $10,000 – but it was actually a female rapper called Dee from Atlanta who did a great impression of him.īut then Catfish jumped the shark with Lauren and Derek, who’d been writing to each other online for eight years but had never met or video-chatted. At the end of the show, the Catfish and the hopeful would meet, bond and inevitably hug it out. OK, so once it was someone’s cousin getting revenge on them for being a bitch to them, and another time it was a love rival wanting to ruin a girl’s life for dating her ex, but most of the time it was heartwarming: people who weren’t exactly model material just wanting someone to love them for their personality, transgender people trying to find love, or school kids too shy to approach their crush. Dazzled by the idea of being on telly, most Catfishes would sit down with the hosts and explain why they did it. Nev and Max would then fly across the country, hole up in a hotel room, do some research (ie type the Catfish’s name into Google), quickly work out that something wasn’t right, and then confront them at home.
