Hey everyone!
Today the show I'm going to review is Catfish: The T.V. Show. As we all know, social media bring people from all over the world together. The only problem is that you never know if the person on the other side of the computer screen is telling the truth.
For those of you that don't know anything about the show it is about people meeting their online lover for the first time. The hosts Nev and Max receive emails from people explaining their love for the person on the other side of the computer screen. They also find out why the two online lovers haven't meet which can range anywhere from distance, money, or health problems. Nev and Max then look into seeing if the person they have been talking to is indeed the person that they said they were. When Nev and Max search the person they find that the person hadn't been truthful. Then Max and Nev arrange for the online lovers to meet.
Catfish isn't scripted because the person asking for Nev and Max's help are truly invested in the online relationship. When they meet the person that isn't who they said they were you can see pure devastation. I personally find watching Catfish addicting because I'm amazed by how easily people lie to someone they "care" about. The show makes me realize that it's important to be careful online even if the person online says they care about you.
If you haven't seen the show Catfish stop what you are doing and check out a few episodes at http://www.mtv.com/shows/catfish/video.jhtml?filter=fulleps.
Have a great day!
I think this show sounds honestly sounds stupid...but when I watched it once i actually really liked it! I liked how you included a link!
ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the Indie film they did that spurred this show premise? Crazy what people do on-line! Thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the show and people raving about it, but never knew what it entailed. I've heard both positive and negative feedback about the show, but I'll have to watch and see what the craze is all about. Thanks for the link!
