As stated by Wikipedia, "Catfish: The TV Show is an American reality-based docudrama television series airing on MTV about the truths and lies of online dating. The show is based on the 2010 film Catfish and is hosted by Nev Schulman.
A "catfish" is a person who creates fake profiles online and pretends to be someone they are not by using someone else's pictures and information. These "catfish" use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, usually with the intention of getting other people or a person to fall in love with them."
When i first heard of the movie/ current television show Catfish it blew my mind. I found it crazy how people were totally content with partaking in online relationships for years without meeting the person on the other end and in some cases without even hearing their voices. This show is so interesting to me because it tends to show both ends of the spectrum when it comes to Social Media. In some (good) cases, the two lovers end up meeting, either discovering that they have both been completely honest, or discovering the truth about one another and still coming out with their very own 'happily ever after'. In other instances, some are not as lucky. The lies they have been telling one another for years are exposed and what started out as an innocent friendship turned love connection, changes into barely anything. People come out shocked, hurt, and embarrassed from these experiences which can teach audiences that you never really know who is on the other end of the computer screen and that you should be cautious as to what information you relay, and who you pour your heart and soul into.
