MUG SHOTS Brent Bruns II was addicted to pills and arrested often prior to Doomsday Castle

National Geographic Channel’s new hit reality series Doomsday Castle is more than just a show about a prepper building a castle in the Carolina mountains, it’s also a show about a father bringing his family together in a therapeutic, retreat-like setting in hopes that they will not only learn to get along better, but also use the experience to find focus and enhance the experiences in their lives outside the castle walls.

Why do people still get Catfished even though it’s so easy to avoid?

With his documentary film and MTV television show Nev Schulman and his production teams have shone a light on a new problem for our technologically advanced age: “Catfishing,” or entering into a romantic relationship with someone online while pretending to be someone that you’re not. If you’re chatting with someone online, there’s a simple solution to see if they’re who they say they are. If you absolutely cannot meet up with them, you can video chat. This capability wasn’t as widely available a few years ago, but now that webcams and cellphone cams are so prevalent, it’s no longer an excuse. If your online professional crush says they can’t afford any sort of camera on their model salary, they probably know someone who does and would let them use it for a few minutes. Getting Catfished is so easy to avoid, and even more so now that the TV show Catfish is so popular, probably making many people face the truths of their online relationships that they’ve been trying to avoid. So why does Catfishing still happen?
