AfterwardsTV August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 Nev and Max try to help Nick determine if the person he kissed during a mysterious blindfolded rendezvous is actually his online love, Jasmine, or someone entirely different altogether. Decent series finale monologue, just mute Nev after Max finishes talking Catfish adjourned 6 Link to comment
Caseysgirl August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 I’m not sure why Josseline wasn’t more upset that someone was using her image to catfish someone, particularly taking money and concert tickets. That’s identity theft! 1 Link to comment
Caseysgirl August 30, 2018 Share August 30, 2018 Nick seemed like a decent guy who didn’t shame Nicole or make her feel any worse than she already did. Nicole looked great when they showed her “after” the show. 6 Link to comment

It makes me incredibly sad that our society has made overweight people feel so worthless that they don't believe they're worthy of love as themselves so they have to hide behind images of someone they feel is more worthy than them. Max, you will be missed. 9 Link to comment
Adultosaurus August 31, 2018 Share August 31, 2018 Oh. My. Hell. So basically this show is about girls who don't feel worthy so they masquerade as "more attractive" girls - TO GUYS WHO ARE NOT ALL THAT. Ugh. I have no idea why it took this episode to really anger me, but it did - how dare he on so many levels. 4 Link to comment

I think with this episode it was so very obvious given her body language, lack of eye contact, and essential sense of apology for even daring to exist. I always feel badly that people feel like shit about themselves, but this one seemed extreme. 6 Link to comment

Max is gone, Nev's wife is now Max - but this particular story just hit me so badly...I'm out. Good luck with Nev and his complicated sexually abusive story (you KNOW that's why Max is out, btw) 6 Link to comment

AfterwardsTV August 31, 2018 Author Share August 31, 2018 This video claims that during the investigation, they never spoke to her. (Though it sounds largely like that's because she willingly avoided them >_> ) So while I can't come to a "golden" definitive opinion on either side, enough of what she said is right. I'm not going to keep giving Nev this power of endless social influence. His social media army needs to know some shmuck white knight on a low budget TV show is not an infallible role model.

Good luck with Nev and his complicated sexually abusive story (you KNOW that's why Max is out, btw) It's ironic, because Nick was much more evenly matched looks-wise with Nicole than "Jasmine" tbh. I thought they'd end up together because of past emotional intimacy, and because Nick didn't viscerally recoil at her obesity like most of them would and go through the painfully phony "I would want to be with her but she LIED" self-fluffing song and dance under the guise of wanting honesty when they've just lost their boners because she's fat. He was nice and compassionate (and if we're honest, probably only about 60 pounds lighter than her), but it's sad that the bar for fat women is showing basic human decency and being polite enough to not reject her outright. I've said it before and I'll say it again - even the sloppiest dudes genuinely expect to date Instagram models. Nick's cousin was hilarious. Max choking back tears at the end surprised me and suggested that he did enjoy Catfish, even if he's been dead eyed and phoning it in for at least the last two seasons. I still have to wonder exactly what he's running off to go do – he keeps talking about passion for directing, but he took off most of a season filming We Are Your Friends and it was universally panned within 72 hours. You would think that experience would teach him that directing can be where his heart is, but Catfish is what pays the bills. I've never heard of him directing anything else and it seemed like he took off all that time in hopes that it would be his big break. Holding up a ludicrously small digital camera when you already have a film crew isn't artistic or even utilitarian. Any kid in any high school video production class does that. I understand feeling like you've outgrown the gig, but I just don't get his endgame. I will miss him horribly because now there's no one to temper Nev's obnoxiousness. Did anything else come out with Nev's sexual harassment scandal? I thought they had determined that there was no substance to it. I mean it wouldn't be surprising either way (I still haven't forgotten about him sucker punching that lesbian in college and then needling out of expulsion because his mom was on the board or whatever). Still, I thought they had already investigated. I think Max is leaving because he envisioned that this gig would be what got his foot in the door, not an accidental career for half a decade. Also I get the vibe that he thinks the show and Nev are juvenile and beneath him. Edited September 1, 2018 by Guest Link to comment

Nicole looked great when they showed her “after” the show. I agree, he was pretty decent to her and I was glad, although I started feeling a little suckered when Max asked her about the other profiles she created and she smiled just a little and the sense of shame lightened in her just a bit (also when she said she used the tickets to the concert and had a good time). I also thought it was an interesting moment when Nick's cousin was all aghast that Nick had let the girl kiss him blindfolded. Dude, if he looked more like you, he probably wouldn't have done it, just like if Nicole looked more like the pictures, she probably wouldn't have done it either. 1 Link to comment
