Congratulations are in order to Nev Schulman, Max Joseph and all the hard-working folks on MTV’s hit docu-series Catfish as the show has received arguably the most verifiable tribute that any TV show can receive. The show’s namesake has officially been added to the new list of dictionary words via Merriam-Webster!
This week’s episode of Catfish features sexy selfie addict Antoinette and rapper T-Lights, who met up via instagram, where they have a combined 40,000 followers. But, is it really T-Lights Antoinette has been talking to, or is she being catfished by someone enamored by her racy pics and mad inverted twerking skills? Keep reading to watch the extended preview clip from the episode and get some spoilery answers to that question! Oh, and see videos of Antoinette doin’ that flip-flop booty pop!
Everybody is still talking about last night’s mind-blowing episode of Catfish featuring Antwane, his cousin Carmen, and Antwane’s Obama-phone-only lover Tony. For those of you who missed it, or for those of you wanting to take another ride on the roller coaster, we’ve got the full episode for you courtesy of MTV. As an added bonus, we’ve compiled a screenshot-and-tweet recap courtesy of DJ and Guy Code star Charlamagne Tha God, who took over the official Catfish Twitter account last night and provided some Charlamagnificently hilarious live commentary throughout the episode.
Nev Schulman posted his thoughts about tonight’s episode of Catfish on Facebook earlier today, stating that it “was one of the most intense and emotional experiences of my life.” Keep reading to find out what else Nev had to say about how meeting Antwane changed his life and see an extended preview clip with the first twelve minutes of the episode!
When Craig fell in love with a beautiful girl on Facebook, he had no idea that his potential Catfish would terrorize his sister and friends. Somehow she convinced Craig to let her get into his Facebook, and she somehow continued to hack into his account after he changed passwords. He can’t get over his feelings for her, but the things she did to his friends reduced him to tears. “I fell in love with somebody that’s just evil,” he cried after breaking down.
Catfish is coming back to MTV tonight with bigger, better and catfish-ier stories than ever before. With the bar continually getting raised, the question about just how real the show is seems more relevant than ever… Here’s what we know, based on comments from former participants, Nev Schulman and Max Joseph.
Less than two weeks after being featured in an engagement photo spread for People, Catfish fan-favorite couple Lauren Meler and Derek Shullenbarger have reportedly not only called off their wedding plans, but have split completely. Keep reading for the rather unexpected reason the couple has reportedly called it quits. 🙁
The third season of Catfish will shake up the format with “darker” catfishers than ever before. From people fooling entire towns to others exploiting victims for financial gain, Nev Schulman and Max Joseph promise an extremely riveting run…
Forget Ahab, Sig Hansen and Bill Dance — everyone’s favorite fishermen Nev Schulman and Max Joseph are coming back to MTV for Catfish Season 3 on Wednesday, May 7 at 10/9c! Check out the just released Season 3 preview trailer that would seem to indicate fans are in for another roller coaster ride chock full of fake identities and broken hearts courtesy of the ill-fated combination of overly optimistic lonely hearts and the often unreal reality that is the internet.
Catfish star Nev Schulman revealed in January of 2013 that he is dating singer/songwriter Shanee Pink after one of her songs was featured on the show, and now it appears that Nev has decided to take the plunge — literally — by starring (and swimming) in Shanee’s music video for her new single, “Spreading In The Light.”
Get ready for some Catfish ‘n’ chips references! The MTV hit show is hopping across the pond for a UK version later this year. Fortunately for US viewers, Nev Schulman and Max Joseph are staying stateside… A different set a cyber detectives will work in the UK.
Just like a plot from MTV’s Catfish, one California teenager believed she was corresponding with her idol, Selena Gomez. Only after backstage passes exchanged hands and Selena offered her a job did the 16-year-old optimist realize she was pranked.
Movie star, television producer and now author! Nev Schulman added to his resume this week by scoring a major book deal with Grand Central Publishing. Get the details on In Real Life, including its release date!
In the 10 years since Dr. Steve Denenberg realized plastic surgery offices were stealing his before-and-after pictures, he’s been singlehandedly waging a war against the “intellectual larceny.” See why he considers it such a big deal and how successful he’s been at battling the problem…
MTV shared some sad news today, announcing that Mike Fortunato, who was featured in the Catfish Season 2 episode “Ashley and Mike,” has died. Mike’s younger sister, Gena, confirmed the death to MTV. Keep reading to find out more about the cause of death and to read his co-star Ashley’s reaction to the tragic news.
In this week’s episode of Catfish, Keyonnah falls for rapper Bow Wow online. But, was it really him? Without giving anything away, keep reading to see Bow Wow’s after-show video! SPOILER! Don’t read this story if you haven’t seen the episode and don’t want to know what happens!
Some sad news from what was the feel-good story of Catfish Season 2 as fan-favorite couple Derek Shullenbarger and Lauren Meler just announced that Lauren suffered a miscarriage on Tuesday. Keep reading for the announcement from Lauren as well as a 15+ minute Q&A video update from them both posted in August.
Catfish‘s Nev Schulman calls his lower-back tattoo a “champ stamp,” but it isn’t a term of endearment. Instead, the filmmaker said he regrets the ink every day.
Nev had injured his foot working out and was on crutches, but he still had to spring to action and prevent a fight at the conclusion of this week’s Catfish. It was a usual Catfish scenario in that there were too many red-flags to mention, but what was really going on was completely unexpected and unprecedented on the show.
Tuesday night’s Catfish told the story of Jesse and Brian, who had been chatting for three years online. They almost met up once, but Brian flaked, and Jesse didn’t know why. Thankfully Nev and Max came to the rescue by uncovering the disturbing reason why Brian didn’t show that day. Were they able to make it work after the truth came out?
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?
Loyda Beltran from Season 2 Episode 3 of Catfish is married to another man she met via online dating. See pics from her ceremony, how her husband reacted when he found out about her catfishing past and what Ramon, the man who was kind-of, sort-of catfished by Loyda, had to say about his friend’s big news.
He might play an FBI special agent on television, but Thomas Gibson doesn’t have very good detective skills when it comes to his own life! The married father carried out a two-year-long relationship with a North Dakota woman before figuring out her pictures were fake.
It’s easy to get pretty jaded with the “Catfish,” on Catfish (CLICK HERE to find out the original of the term) and even Nev and Max seem a little weary with them on Season 2, but last week’s episode really pulled my heartstrings. Are Mike and Kristen still friends after the truth came out?
Just like most Catfish episodes, last night’s offered some formidable red flags. Lauren had met her online love Derek eight years ago on MySpace when she was 14 and had never done a video chat with him. Once she was five hours away from him and wanted to visit, but he made up excuses and wouldn’t let her. When Nev and Max did some digging, they found someone very different from the person Lauren thought she was talking too. What happened with Lauren’s Catfish, and how are they doing now?
Max Joseph is the funny, realist behind the “Catfish” camera. He is also pretty elusive with details on his personal life. We managed to pin down his relationship status and learn more about his Brazilian wife…
Get your rod, reel and tackle ready. Season 2 of MTV’s critically acclaimed show Catfish is premiering tonight and they’ve provided us a 10 minute preview as if we weren’t amped enough already. In addition, this preview provided us enough clues to do our own Schulmanhunting and we’ve discovered the full identity of Episode 1’s Cassie. Even though her social media provides serious clues to what happened we kept that out of this post. But still, this is chock full o’ spoilage so stay away if ya wanna go into tonight’s premiere without the knowledge of who Cassie is and the links to her Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts!
MTV announced last week that Nev Schulman and Max Joseph would be returning from their most recent “boating” trip with a whole new mess of catfish on June 25. Today the network released the first official trailer for Catfish: The TV Show Season 2, and it looks like the second season may even be better than the first!
MTV announced back in December that their hugely popular reality series Catfish: The TV Show would be returning for a second season and since that time the hairy-chested Nev Schulman and sidekick Max Joseph have been hard at work baiting their hooks and reeling in an all new mess of catfish! And by “mess” of catfish I mean 16, as MTV announced last week that Catfish Season 2 will feature 16 episodes and will premiere on Tuesday, June 25 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT! Keep reading for the full press release that includes details about the “Hooked on Catfish: The Road to Season Two” special to air prior to the Season 2 premiere.
Maxim’s Hot 100 list is topped by Miley Cyrus, and, in another twist, includes Manti Te’o’s fake girlfriend at #69.
Last night’s reunion show brought together some of the most dramatic couples of the night (I’m looking at you, Mhissy and Jasmine), but some pairs were notably missing. After a little investigation work, I’ve managed to track down some details on what the remaining couples have been up to since filming.
Tonight’s “Catfish: The Reunion Show” on MTV was quite the dramatic doozy with lots and lots of tension between most of the couples they brought back. Though Mhissy and Jasmine clearly had the most animosity between them, Kari Ann Peniche impersonator Rose and “Average Joe” weren’t far behind as they answered questions very abruptly, seemingly without even being able to look at each other. At one point Rose even mentioned that Joe had been arrested since the show was taped! So what did he do? Keep reading to find out!
Tonight is the Season finale of MTVs highly successful Catfish: The TV Show and in honor of this momentous occasion we thought we would share a photo of host Nev Schulman back before he had all that infamous chest hair, back when he was still going by Yaniv Schulman!
MTV’s much talked about Catfish The TV Show was the highest rated new cable series on television 2012 and after a brief hiatus the series returns for it’s inaugural season finale Monday night at 11/10c. But, before Nev Schulman and Max Joseph bring us the final “What’s behind the virtual curtain” romance tale, MTV is giving everyone the chance to get completely caught up with an all-day marathon of the first ten episodes with additional never-before-seen footage as well as introductions by Nev and Max! Plus, there will be a “Catfish: The Reunion Special” after that! Keep reading for all-you-can-eat Catfish including how to apply to be on Season 2!
At the conclusion of Monday night’s episode of Catfish show host Nev Schulmann made a startling announcement on Twitter — he has a girlfriend! And not just that, she’s a musician and her song was featured in the episode! Keep reading to find out who Nev’s new gal is and what he had to say about her!
In the very first episode of MTV’s Catfish we met Sunny Cross, a 21-year-old nursing student at the University of Arkansas who had fallen for Jamison, a handsome model living in Los Angeles. I won’t reveal what happens on the front page here (although I do in the post, so SPOILER ALERT!), but I will reveal that Sunny is extending her 15 minutes with a DWI arrest Sunday morning. Keep reading to see Sunny’s rather sunny mug shot photo and also read her hilarious string of tweets that includes a rather acrimonious interaction with TMZ founder Harvey Levin!
MTV’s new reality series Catfish is getting a great deal of exposure thanks to Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o’s headline-grabbing relationship with girlfriend (aka a “catfish”) Lennay Kekua, who later turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo and his cousin Tino Tuiasosopo. The popular show (which has already been renewed for a second season) was also the focus of a Saturday Night Live skit last night in which The Voice‘s Adam Levine played Catfish host Nev Schulman in a hilarious spoof!
In the wake of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o’s incredulous story, MTV’s Catfish is getting some serious exposure. Find out what co-creators Nev Schulman and Max Joseph had to say about the explosive new interest in “catfishing” and how all of this could result in a serious ratings spike for the already well-received show.
Most fans who fell in love with Catfish the movie were a little bit wary when it was announced MTV would be taking the concept and turning it into weekly show. (It could be said we didn’t want to be too optimistic about the show until we met it in person, in case it turned out to be a catfish itself!) Well, the series is six episodes in and I don’t know about you, but I know about me and the other 2+ million folks who are tuning in each week — we’re addicted! Of course, MTV is well aware that viewers have taken to the show, and they announced earlier this week they will be bringing back Yaniv “Nev” Schulman and Max Joseph for a Catfish Season 2!
In 2010 Catfish, a documentary film called by Nev Schulman, became all the rage because of it’s skillful presentation of Nev’s journey to find the woman he thought he had fallen in love with on Facebook. Not only was he excited to see this woman, Megan, who he had feelings for, but he’d gotten to know a lot about her family, especially Megan’s younger sister Abbey, who is a painting prodigy.
Now there’s an MTV show based on the same principle, but what does “Catfish” mean? What is the origina of the term?
