yeah I eat rear end posted:Wasn't there always some doubt about Nev's "backstory" that led him to make the show being legitimate anyway? It always seemed at least largely faked since the beginning. I've seen every episode and won't turn it off if there's nothing else interesting on, but it's right down there with survivor/big brother in terms of being "real" imho. Nev was catfished by an old lady and his brother made a documentary about it, which led to it being serialized as a TV show. I think in the beginning it was pretty legit, tho they've always been upfront about it being casted the katy perry guy was the best loving episode

The other one that sticks out in my memory is the guy that pretended to be a girl and had them meet him in some lan center or whatever. It was kind of painful watching someone who really thought they were a master troll+puppetmaster and just come off looking like a dick. Which he was.

Lately they've been having people talking to catfish for like 2 months. It's extremely boring. 2 months?? Who cares? There is ZERO emotional investment for that short a time. I need people who have been morons for 10+ years for real heartbreak.

Normal people don't get catfished because normal people realize 100% online relationships aren't real relationships.

I remember reading an article where the producers said that a lot of times it was the catfish who reached out to the show first. They'd get the details, get the person being catfished to write in, then go from there. The claim was that while it was all planned ahead of time, Nev and Max were going into it blind and still researching it all. I got bored of Catfish because it seemed that lately every other episode was the crew being had. Fake catfishes just for the sake of getting a free trip, etc. Back on topic though, these kind of shows always just feel a bit off. While there are some scripted elements, some people feel 100% scripted. Maybe it's because they're really awkward in general (hence being on 90 Day) combined with having cameras on them, but other times it just feels like bad acting all the way through.

yeah I eat rear end posted:yeah but I swear i read somewhere that the documentary wasn't exactly truthful. In the Catfish movie Nev travels to rural Upper Michigan to meet a woman claiming to be a beautiful model and an 8-year-old child prodigy artist who also happens to have her own art gallery in rural Upper Michigan. He either knew what was going to happen and wanted to film a yooper train-wreck, or he is the biggest dumb-rear end on planet earth.

vyst posted:My favorite one is the girl that got catfished by her own cousin That doesn't narrow it down any. There are probably over a dozen episodes of people catfishing family members for some reason. If a sister or brother appears on screen to meet Nev, I assume it is them until otherwise.

oh my god I don't want to stop talking about catfish but just came home to eat lunch and started the second ep of 90 day. I can't decide who is worse, the Mormon guy getting his friend to chaperone or the people who flew his internet gf all the way from Russia to get married and haven't had sex yet. also Russ is clearly gay.

I guess I'm dumb because I had no idea catfish was scripted. And I figured Nev got catfished at a point in time when people didn't really know it was a thing. We can roll our eyes about how naive he was, but then again we've heard so many trainwreck stories its easy to forget that meeting people over the internet wasn't nearly as ubiquitous as it is now.

If anyone doesn't know their current situation, Jorge is in prison for like 3 years for transporting 300lbs of weed in his car in AZ. Anfisa is really ripped and into working out on Instagram now.

Panfilo posted:I guess I'm dumb because I had no idea catfish was scripted. When I was 12 I almost fell for what I now realize was an obvious catfish (probably of the pedophile rapist variety) in an AIM chatroom. I actually agreed to meet "her" in another town by sneaking out of the hotel I was staying at for a school trip, but had to cancel because the teacher announced that she would be taping the doors shut and suspending anyone whose tape was broken in the morning. That was back in the time where "my phone doesn't have a camera" and "i don't have a webcam" were completely believable things to say. I don't know when Nev's story happened but you could be right, I was just saying I heard it wasn't.

Bape Culture posted:Steven is thick as gently caress. “I can take the baby if I want because I’m an American citizen” I think the US consulate explained to him how that poo poo works cause he totally changed his tune after walking out of there. Like, at first, he couldn't get the citizenship verified fast enough and didn't care about anything else but then suddenly went "oh yeah, I guess it's better if the baby stays here for a while, nevermind". People in there were probably scared shitless of the possible diplomatic fallout of some crazy eyed idiot American trying to abduct a weeks old Russian baby from its mother.

There are a bunch of bilateral agreements about adoption and custody between the US and Russia. Things would not have gone well for him had he kidnapped the child whether the Russian or US authorities caught him. US prison is nicer, though!

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:Season 2 definitely ramps up the racism There's a part that I can't find online to show, I can't remember exactly when in the season it was, but in one episode Mohamed is sitting on the front step of the house and is talking to a family member on the phone, and the subtitles say he's talking about finance or how much things cost or something like that. I was watching it with my ex whose first language is Arabic, and he said the subtitles were completely wrong, and the guy was just talking about the weather. It made me really think about how they're trying to portray some of these foreign partners. Not to take away from the giant scammer that Mohamed was. Edit: Found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX6yNuQIwWs Someone in the comments actually points it out too, the subtitles say (00:28) he's talking about discounts and the markets, but apparently, he's just talking about how hot it is.

You need permission from both parents before one can take a child over borders. It creates a whole mess when expat families get divorced. Vindictive spouses deny permission to leave, so the kids must stay in their country of habitual residence, where the Mother has just lost dependent spouse visa status. Now thats a reality show Id watch.

the reason people think neve is full of poo poo is because in the original catfish documentary there was no reason for them to be filming the beginning of his relationship if they didn't know it was already bullshit. like, why are you filming your friend chatting with a random person on facebook? why would you do that? the katy perry episode was the best because after he met the girl and she said point blank 'i am not katy perry' he messaged her saying 'katy why did you send someone to lie to the camera instead of coming yourself?'

Full on mental illness. no she was a lesbian it was also hilarious when they asked him what proof he had he was talking to katy perry and he was like 'she'd send me recordings of her songs before the album came out' and neve was like 'woah that is really convincing, do you have any?' and they were just like radio recordings uploaded to youtube.

Looking back poor sweet Kilyan got whisked away from her family and hometown to LA only to be locked up in his mom and dad's apartment until she got sent to the baby mills of Utah. It's somehow crueler for him to have brought her to LA, put her on TV and experience modeling instead of just beginning by shoving her in the basement of a temple in Utah. She was so excited to see Johnny Depp too

Like jesus dude you moved her from a small town in brazil to a completely new environment and are doing 0 to help her adjust. It's also hilarious how insecure he is about her encounters with other dudes. He knows he's marrying way up. AnimeIsTrash fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Jan 10, 2019 |
