I don’t know why I can’t stop watching his show. It’s lost its appeal and yet, I can’t look away. John and Kelsey are the players this week. It seems we are back to basics. John is in love with a girl he met in an online chat room. He’s never spoken to her on the phone, done a video chat, nothing. They just exchange information through emails and chat rooms. Kelsey says she has body dysmorphia. This is why he doesn’t ask for more pictures. The chat room is basically a group of young people with social anxiety. It’s already obvious to me that “Kelsey” and “Adam” are the same person and that person has a relationship with John under the Kelsey name and under the Adam name this person has a very cute girlfriend named Ellie who lives in the Faroe Islands.
How long until Adam and Ellie get together to commiserate over being catfished by the same person? I predict by the end of the show.
So we leave snowy Detroit for sunny Orlando. But when the guys pull up to the address, there is no house there. Kelsey let’s them know she is at a café. But when they get to the address of the café, there is no café there either. There is some sort of weird casino there and everyone there is eleventy billion years old. Oh god. It’s going to be some creepy old person. Oh no, it is Adam the gambler. Adam is the guy who Ellie claims as her boyfriend. It’s a dude, dude! Whoa! 
Adam is creepy in every way. He has some sort of a weird algorithm he claims to use to win the jackpots in this little hole in the wall casino. Apparently the jackpots are set to occur on a timer. So while he is waiting for the right time to hit, he talks to the people on the social anxiety board. It’s just something fun to do to pass the time. He created the chat room and has catfished 30 or so people because it’s fun.
Max says this is the sort of loser who gives this show a bad name. Max walks away. Adam was hoping that John would get mad. He wanted a stronger reaction. He loves manipulating people. He’s just another sociopath who lives among us.
The guys go to the hotel room and Skye with Ellie. She’s obviously upset. For some dumb reason they go to meet Adam again. I know this is the part where Nev and Max preach to the catfish so that they have a profound change of character in five minutes or less. Adam claims he feels a lot of guilt. I do not believe him. Sociopaths by definition do not feel guilt. Approximately 3% of the population is sociopathic. That’s about a third of the number of gay people in the world. I know a whole hell of a lot of gay people. Let say I know 100 gay people. That would mean by really, fuzzy, unsupportable math, I probably know about 30 sociopaths. And I’m quite sure I have dated a couple of those. So, for the off tangent thought. This is how anxiety works. 🙂
In the end, Adam is still a douchebag, John met a real live girl, and they did not update us on Ellie.
Who is going to admit to watching this mess?
I admit – I watched it too. I also told myself “never again.” But, it is On Demand on my FIOS and when there is absolutely nothing else that interests me – I watch. The first season of Catfish was good. This season they are just grasping at straws. Even Nev is sick of it, you can tell. They are going through the motions, but their hearts just are not in the show anymore. I think they both hate having to deal with the Sociopaths and having to lecture them on common decency.
The Sociopath convinced Ellie to give him a second chance. He cleared up his acne, moved to LA to become a writer and is sending for Ellie. poor poor girl.
NO WAY!
Yes you must have missed the very end.
Yup. Sad but expected. The foreign girl is so naive.
When Nev & Max are assigned these catfish cases, the producers already know all the facts about all the parties involved. Nev & Max don’t but conduct their own investigation to conclusion. Them being pissed off & annoyed is genuine, but blame the producers for picking these stories.
I watch when nothing else is on, too. Or when you blog about a weird episode. They run these about a gazillion times, so I’ll probably catch it at 3am next time insomnia hits.
How, exactly, does “Adam” give the show a bad name? I thought this was exactly what the show was about? Weird.
The kid is absolutely insane. Yes its about weird people and creepy things but hes a whole differently level. They hit it on the head when they asked if he just woke up wanting to play a TV villain. Thats exactly how he came off – like crazy for the sake of crazy. Then when he said he was like the Joker… He is delusional. He A) doesnt realize how stupid and petty he looks when hes trying so hard to be a true ‘villain’ type, especially when his methods are to catfish people. B) he’s the type of guy who ends up on the news for all the wrong reasons… He literally gave me chills.
Still watching, suspiciously. I felt most for the girl stuck on an island that confided private thoughts about her “boyfriend” to her girlfriend. The fact it was all the same person, the sociopath, had to be embarrassing and hurtful. The nut jobs fake 24 hour turn around to being repentant was more manipulation. Anyone of them continuing to talk to this guy has more wrong with them than anxiety disorder.
It was obvious early on that Adam was Kelsey. I’m sad for Ellie being so naive. Also, it was obvious that Adam felt no remorse, not at the meeting the next day or during the Skype update 2 months later.
If anyone knows how to contact ellie reply please, she deserves someone better.
I want to know where to find ellie and talk to her,bam way better lookinga nd no db
Yes I would like to know her skype or anyway of contact aswell.
I really just wanna know what website they used
I think every one should have love in real life instead of online
This kid Adam is a sick kid that literally needs help he is the type of kid that looks like he would blow up high schools just for fun and laugh while doing it. Someone needs to look deep inside his criminal record because he is not normal. To laugh and play with John emotions and humiliate him is sick. Please Nevada and max do some more investigation on this sick kid.
I Mean Nev sorry lol
I’ve been going though all your posts since i found your site a few days ago, and I’ve been laughing my ass off. You take the words right out of my mouth! In a different Catfish post, with Machine Gun Kelly, you were talking about him needing to eat a sandwich and I fell out of my office chair I was laughing so hard. You are SO spot on. Thank you for the laughter and entertainment!!!
john is so hot he could have anyone
