Catfish

[Andyourlittledog2]

Faking fakers who fake. That's all this show has become now. This whole 'do you think it's fake?' storyline on Nev's part was as fake as the catfishers and fishees. And it all ends up with all three fakers on one more reality tv show and making more 'content' for their money making schemes.

I loathe content creators and influencers. They are a waste of a life as far as I am concerned. I could not hold them lower in my estimation.  And get off my lawn.

I don't think I will watch this show any more. It has literally gone to shit.

There was a UK Daily Mail story today in which Sham was whining about her awful Catfish experience. She was complaining there was no hair and makeup for her and the producers wouldn’t let her retake scenes she didn’t like. 
She also said she’d been on more than 20 reality shows. 
She claimed that she threw the supposed catfish in the pool but the scene wasn’t shown. Of course it would have been!
All more reason to believe Sham and catfish were fake, whether or not Catfish knew it. 

Sham also claimed she got into a shouting match with Nev. Every one of the recent episodes has been absolute garbage.

Content Creator.  What a lame excuse for a job!

If the show had any integrity when it is a scam they would not edit or air the episode.  And it should say in the contract that the scammers are liable for all production expenses.  But I think they often know or suspect it’s a scam and just don’t care.  What a freak show this season.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the multiple personality catfish was an actress (actor?).  We have a morbidly obese person and a little person who are a comedy duo and yeah no red flags.  Production does advance work so let’s not act like Nev and Kamie were the first to have a clue this all smelled to high heaven.  I like Kamie but between how this season is going and her decision to host the excruciatingly bad most recent season of Ex on the Beach it appears that she will do or say anything for a paycheck.  We expect that of Nev, but Kamie do better.

I'm not even sure why this recent ep even aired, considering that the production crew knew it was all BS in advance. In addition, it was impossible to understand what the hell was going on with those 3 as they explained it.

How much longer can MTV drag this out? Does Nev have blackmail info on someone high up in the company or something?

Forgot to mention from the Doris and John episode, that the house where they showed John and his male roommate living, was so very clearly NOT an Airbnb. 

The John/Doris episode took place in my hometown.  I know exactly where this house is located and it is BY FAR NOT an airbnb.

So Nev and Kamie were catfished by this reality trio who just wanted to be on TV and publicize their act. What does Catfish do but air the show and give them what they want.

When Max was there the show was more enjoyable. They must be having a hard time nowadays getting people on the show who really are being tricked by someone .

 

I’ve always hated the affectation of Max, Kamie or any guest cohost holding onto their little camera—- for what earthly reason? 
 

I like Nev, I like Kamie and I really liked Max, but the only one getting Catfished now is the show.

 

[Chippings]

The new shows this season seemed to have completely jumped the shark, between Sham (veteran of numerous other reality shows) and then the set-up one with the little person &c.  I was really ready to give up on this entire thing, but tonight actually seemed to be somewhat genuine people.  (What a concept!)  Okay, next week will be a test if they continue with somewhat actual people, or go with the self-publicizing scammera. 

[MrsEVH]

At least Tuesday's show (just watched it today) seems like it's going back in the right direction. I noticed a blooper in this episode. When Nev is at home (I think ?) and goes to pick up Erika and Kaime. He's driving a car with a tan colored interior. When gets to Erka's house they're in all black Ford with a black interior. Did he start out in his own car and then switch to a rental?

When the person they are talking to is using their own pictures it’s not a catfish.  She could have been dating him in real life for three years and he never mentioned a kid.

I know, they're running out of stories. They've had a bunch of people using their real photos this season. They're doing bad dates, not catfish.

I don’t know. 
These may have been real people but I think Erika came on the show to try to get customers for her makeup and jewelry business.

The camera lingered a long time on her berserk fingernails when she was showing  Jermaine’s texts to Nev and Kamie. And of course she wore her jewelry very prominently throughout the show.

[Tango64]

This show is done. Now it’s just fakes and repeat reality show attempts. Sad. 
Kami is at her best though. 

[pezgirl7]

Why does the show keep giving wackadoodle fame whores a platform? I’m guessing because they think it’s sensational tv, but it’s getting old. Also, I wonder if the producers were hoping that Nev and Kami would figure out who the catfish was on their own, and when they didn’t, they staged the bit with the hotel worker saying something in order to jog their memory?

When the kid first had his slightly violent breakdown, I was thinking that maybe the catfish was the one who was dodging a bullet. But by the end, I wouldn’t have minded seeing him give the catfish a piece of his mind in person.

That was so strange, I would love to know if that was real or not.

What a creep this guy was. I remember him from the last time, why does he target straight guys?

Thinking about it some more, I wonder if the whole thing was fake? Was the 18 year old guy in on it too, because what are the chances that another guy that the catfish was catfishing just happened to contact the show? The kid seemed genuine in his feelings, but maybe he's just a really good actor. I hate having to second guess everyone on the show now. It's like the show is catfishing us!

This particular catfish seems to get off on trying to turn straight guys. Like a lot of the catfish on this show, they seem to have a psychological issue that has not been addressed because they don't see it as an issue. Also, them targeting a 18 year old is just gross.

Hate to tell that kid, but his shirtless thirst pics are probably attracting more gay men than he realizes. And yeah, this show has become so bankrupt that they're bringing back old catfishers. As discussed before, he's probably the one that contacted the show again.

[MrBuhBye]

I feel sorry for this very troubled young man but I feel that the show exploited him.  They didn’t have to show all the outbursts.  Also it seemed blatantly homophobic when he said if it’s a guy he is going to beat him up.  It would be better if it’s some old or ugly woman using the pics?  I was expecting Kamie and Nev to point out that it’s not any better to catfish if you are the same gender as the pics but they chose not to.  Maybe Nev thinks it’s okay to hit as he was expelled from college for punching a woman in the face at a party.

I could’ve lived without Kamie’s judgy “oHhH” when Carmella walked out of the house ten pants sizes bigger than her photos.

She FaceTuned herself into Michael Jackson.

[MrBuhBye]

He was not physically attracted to her so he said the lying was a dealbreaker.  Funny how when they are attractive the lies can be overlooked.  Just say there isn’t chemistry and not be as big a liar as the catfish.

Gotta disagree here.  The woman was so completely and thoroughly in all physical aspects not at all what she intentionally misrepresented herself as, that I think Kamie's reaction was actually pretty respectfully muted.

[MrsEVH]

Was there a new episode on this past Tuesday 5/2? My DVR didn't record anything. Just wondering if the show is done for another season.

I also felt like it was just a genuine, human reaction to how different this person was from how she’d presented herself. I don’t think Kamie would have reacted that way to seeing her without the expectation she’d been given, if that makes sense.

No new episode last Tuesday. No new one this week either. 

[PurpleFishHead]

Is the show over?

[SilverLake0315]

Almost positive Kamie said recently that they were currently filming. Nev has been standing out on street corners begging for catfish stories, though, so it may be coming to an end sooner rather than later.

I just saw Nev on TMZ talking

about Max leaving and them continuing the show with guest co-hosts.

Kaime was Max's replacement when he left a few years ago. I hope she stays.
