Persnickety1 January 29, 2015 Share January 29, 2015 I wasn't sure where to post this but thought it was interesting enough to try to squeeze it in somewhere on the boards. My daughter (studying to be a therapist) is taking a communications class in college. The class will be viewing an episode of Catfish as one of their assignments and then writing a paper on it. It's the "Matt and Kim" episode (ironically an episode I really enjoyed and liked both participants). Anywho, I was wondering if anyone else has heard of Catfish being introduced into college classes and wondering if anyone had any insight as to why instructors would choose the Matt and Kim episode over the other episodes to dissect. Too bad Max and Nev aren't making an appearance in the class. Otherwise, I'd be squeezing into the seat right next to Mini Persnickety.

LoneHaranguer August 12, 2016 Share August 12, 2016 They run each new episode so many times, even just within the first week, I don't see when it started as meaning anything. Starting with a two episode block was an attempt to make it "special" to bring in more viewers, but they should have focused on better advertising. It seemed like they were pushing the new season hard early on, then forgot about it, as did I until I saw it on the night's program listing.

AConspiracy August 25, 2016 Share August 25, 2016 The Katy Perry fishing keeps getting attention, actually from her this time. http://www.msn.com/en-us/music/celebrity/katy-perry-‘my-heart-goes-out’-to-‘catfish’-victim/ar-BBw1NjM?li=BBnb7Kz KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Pop singer Katy Perry has finally commented on last week’s Catfish episode that starred Knoxville man Spencer Morrill, who thought he had dated Perry for six years online. Perry shared her thoughts on the situation during an interview on the SiriusXM radio show The Morning Mash Up, saying "my heart goes out to" Morrill. "You know, like, my heart goes out to him actually because anybody that's been fooled like that or just, you know, people have dreams, and people live in different parts of world where not everything is always so accessible. Like we live on the coast, and we, you know, get stuff in a way that some other people don't get, and I felt bad for him, and so I didn't really like to indulge in that," said Perry. The singer said she found out about Morrill because someone sent her a link about what happened on the show last Wednesday. "Yes someone sent me a link, and I didn't actually read through it because I just think it's really unfortunate and very sad," she said. During the Catfish episode, Morrill, with the help of show hosts Nev Schulman and Max Joseph, found out that he had been catfished by a woman named Harriet who lives in England and pretended to be Perry. After the episode aired, Harriet bragged about catfishing Morrill on Twitter, receiving praise and disapproval by other Twitter users. Morrill admitted to being gullible and said he won't pursue another online relationship in the future.

Gothish520 June 24, 2018 Share June 24, 2018 Did anyone watch the youtube videos? I did. I'm one who is usually inclined to believe women when they make these kinds of accusations, because honestly it opens them up to all kinds of ridicule and scorn, if not outright threats, so unless they are seeking money and notoriety, there is not much of an upside to making false claims. That being said, the girl was a bit all over the place, and pretty much what she claimed Nev did falls under the heading of hardcore pressing. That he can be a douche is no surprise, but he really should've backed off (if what she says is true). The accusations against the production person were far more disturbing. I sincerely hope that if there is even a grain of truth to what this girl said, that this has been addressed with the person in question, who at the very least should not have a job anymore. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9328-catfish-in-the-media/#findComment-4439296
