I am totally addicted to this. I just HAVE to find out who the person is and I may have left the DC waiting for their tea today because I was watching the latest episode Grin

Gawd, I think I spent about six hours watching it last weekend! Nev certainly hit on a popular formula for a show.

Yes I just watched one a wee while ago where the guy has been talking to another guy but he thought it was some hot girl called Jess. The guy who had pretended to be the girl turned up slow clapping and getting in everyones face garbling crap and basically i think hehad some kind of mental illness. It was tv GOLD but also very scary and weird. Love the show.
The other one i watched today where it was a girl who looked anorexic and a guy who was from the army. They met, got on well, kissing etc then she had to go home. Next thing was she was planning to surprise the guy but he got all mad. Nev did a skype and spoke to them both so she ended up driving down that night to be witht he guy. The end credits said she drove down to be with the guy then 2 days later realised they werent compatible and drove home!!!! Oh and the guy had been arrested for having a weapon of mass destruction!

His grey hair is rather lovely!

My dd(14) said she thought the programme was educational to the public Grin I think that's pushing it a bit.

But have any of you seen the actualy catfish film where the idea for this show started? It was where Nev was being duped himself! I went to some arty cinema and watched it, was good!

Dr I had a thread about that episode! When Nev on crutches stood up to the man.

Yes, he was trying to get the psycho to step back. Poor Nev on crutche spushing the guy back. Luckily the guy seemed to respect Nev. I did think they had put the guy (the one who had beenthinking it was a girl) in a very dangerous situation. I guess every one they do could be dangerous, how do they know the person on the otherside of the door doesnt have a gun or knife? I am really waiting on something terrible to happen actually.

I saw the film ages ago, it was on channel4 I think?

Slow hand clap guy was an alcoholic & quite dangerous by the looks of things!

I wonder how they pursuade the people who have no remorse to be more reasonable? The girl today pretending to be gay to milk her 'girlfriend' was hideous when they first met & then all apologetic the next day.

Yeah, she was a bitch!

The guy was more than an alcoholic and i am dubious as to whether he had found his dad's body or whether he had actually killed him! Or his dad is alive and well and the whole thing was a lie. It was just weird. The slow clapping...id have run away at that point!

I looooove Max, he's completely unafraid to call a twat a twat.

I'm trying to skim read your posts to avoid spoilers as I've not watched this weeks episode yet.

Last weeks one was frightening, he could've been really dangerous if he'd met him alone.

That guy had issues. Like Dr says he probably killed his dad. No way did he have a girlfriend who was fine with what he was doing

I was very Hmm about him having a girlfriend who knew everything. He seemed very unstable.

I watched the film on holiday - poor Nev. I would comfort him Grin
Have the last episode on sky plus still to watch.
I was so sad at the girl who had the accident with the glass eye. Prefer the crazy ones.
