I am a week behind on Catfish and almost didn’t recap this one, but then if I watched and it was really good I would have been mad I didn’t recap so we can talk about it. So here goes. Oh I can already tell it is going to be good. They said in the promos before the season that Catfish gets catfished this season so this must be it.
Nev and Max begin by watching a Catfish puppet show online. Whitney writes in to say that she lives in Brooklyn and works at Wendy’s. She met Bre on an LBGT website. Bre lives in L.A. Distance is a problem. They have not video chatted. They are not Facebook friends. She has few photos. They talk on the phone and text. Whitney is average looking and Bre is too attractive to be real. Whitney pretty much supports her family. Bre can’t afford to fly out either. Whitney makes a point to say the place they came to is not her place, but a friend’s place. Why? It’s not a particularly nice apartment. How bad can hers be?
Bre is an unemployed stripper. She has a tattoo on her leg that says luscious. It’s probably spelled wrong. 
The boys find a Facebook page that is using the photos Bre claims are of her. The Facebook page belongs to someone named Kash. Kash and Bre both live in L.A. The boys call Kash and she says that Bre has used her photos before on a site where she won’t to meet some people. She did meet someone she really like. If Kash and Bre are friends, how would she not know Whitney’s name? She tells the boys that Bre’s Facebook page is Luscious B. something. The guys get on Whitney’s Facebook and log in as her. There they discover that Whitney and Luscious have been talking and video chatting for four years. Whitney mentioned the tattoo so she has to know that Luscious is Bre. They are using the show for a plane ticket.
The guys go to confront Whitney. But first they are going to play dumb a bit longer. Whitney lies her ass off until she realizes there is no way to lie her way out of it. She just wanted a trip to California to meet Bre. The boys are at a loss for words and leave to think about it. I am sure they are going to end up taking her out to meet her. But they should not. They need to check out to see if she works at Wendy’s, and if she really lives in that apartment, and if she really has a brother and a mother she is supporting. I’m still not buying this.
So they take Whitney to meet Bre and they are ecstatic. On the follow-up Skype, Whitney says Bre is coming to NYC this month and she is going out there next month. Interesting that they can suddenly afford to fly back and forth. A RT ticket is probably about $400 bucks. You are going to tell me a stripper could not come up with that? Or the chick who works at Wendy’s could not save $400 in four years? They try to say that Bre got a part-time job in a hair salon. But come on. These two probably already met.
I think they did it to get luscious thot followers.
I thought it was funny that Whitney’s excuse was always that she was the sole breadwinner of her entire family and couldn’t afford a plane ticket as a result. Yet later she mentioned wanting to move to California to be with Bre. Sooooooo I guess supporting her family was just a sob story to get a plane ticket and then she’d abandon the family when she moved? This whole episode never really added up.
Thanks for commenting on this post I love this show. I MIGHT try to watch and recap tonight’s episode but I will probably be stuck deleting and blocking people in the Kim Richards threads for talking about her kids.

Ha ha- fair enough.
Not to mention she’s the ‘sole breadwinner’? How the hell can she take a few days off work to go see her? I love how she uses her New York accent when she was caught LMAO. What a loser!
Some weeks I want so badly to see the love story. Then some weeks I want to see the train wreck. The week of this show I just wanted to see it end. They made me mad. At the end they weren’t even trying to label their romance after 4 yrs. so they just wanted a booty call basically.
Eh, I think Nev and Max just opened themselves up to a bunch of folks who will just want free tickets. I did not believe the sob story in this one and I wish they hadn’t believed it either. But I get it, they are just suckers for love stories.
I know right. You know what just crossed my mind… I wonder if they are really catfishing US with this episode. TT wrote some posts last season about how this show is faker than we thought and that the producers already know the whole story and let Nev and Max figure it out. So then wouldn’t the producers have known all this beforehand? It was pretty easy to figure out considering these girls aren’t too smart and didn’t realize their thousands of facebook messages were still readably viewable. Maybe they did an episode like this to make us think that the show is more real. I don’t know- I’m hot and bothered with conspiracy theories all of a sudden.
I can’t imagine how hard this has been for her, she has done something that no one else would most likely have not done. I’m a Mother of two boys and if any of my children would come to me about how they feel on the inside, and that they feel like there body has betrayed them. That every time they look in the mirror and see the opposite of what they feel, mind, and Spirit. how sad I would feel for them. I would hope that if something like that is going on with them that I would MOVE Heaven An Earth to help them be all they need an want to be. Bless Her, Ms. Jenner may your life be everything you want it to be, your authentic self.
this episode really pissed me off and pretty much makes me question how often they’re being ‘catfished’. these bitches are so ghetto and had no shame – they play it off like they were so in love, it was sickening! and before anyone assumes that i have a problem with LGBT I do not, but those two were nasty, and whitney, brush your teeth sweetheart! There’s no way in living hell u could support an entire household working at Wendys, good one. what you two bitches did was despicable.
I won’t be watching the show anymore. Shame on you Nev and Max and MTV. I don’t even know why it’s still called ‘MTV’ they don’t play music anymore (a few hours in the middle of the night). it’s all reality shows, TEEN mom also sickens me, why the hell do these welfare teens try to glamorize teen pregnancy? I could go on and on…
You are just looking at it wrong. The whole point of the show is to make fun of the people on the show and mock their lying abilities!
worst episode ever. Catfish got punked. hell, I’d love to go see an old college friend of mine who lives in Milan, will u pay? What a joke!
LMAO
this was messed up.i think this happens a lot more than we realize. they should;t have condoned what they did now everyone will think they can pull this crap.
What I don’t understand is how the hell can someone who supports a household of FOUR able to take time off? Then at the end of the episode (one or two months later) is now able to move, and her finances have improved???
Whitney is the BIGGEST hypocrite – she also goes on and on about how she wants nothing but the TRUTH?
Yet, her and her fat lover, bree lied (and couldn’t even do that right lol) the whole time…
Then Nev and Max contact their producer (for dramatic purposes obviously) to find out whether they should help her and all he said was he trusted whatever decision they make? and if they’re REALLY in love, they would help them … Completely unacceptable as far as I’m concerned.
I cannot believe they even aired this. Catfish “the TV show” was catfished …
WTF?
I am a huge fan of the show and must admit, it irritated the hell out of me. I now question all of the episodes. Oh well, makes for good entertainment, at least for now lol. I mean, is this whole show scripted? are people that ghetto to gain a few minutes of fame even making a complete ass out of themselves? I guess so!
What those two did was dispicable. She works at Wendy’s six days a week supporting her household? Yet, she can just up and leave town ? I can’t even believe they aired this. Also, fatty has a bottom grill, those aren’t cheap from what I hear.
I HATE this episode, as many have questioned their ‘authenticity’ of the show, they still allowed those bitches to catfish them? Shame on all of u!
“I give the truth, so I expect the truth”.
BITCH
SMH ???♀️?. Just finished this episode. Wtf? Are u serious?
“I am in love with hah” then she clearly says HER. Wow, what a joke. Luciuous you could do betta (better) lol. She is one busted dude!
“I give the truth, so expect the truth, just don’t lie to me”.
– Whitney from Wendy’s
????
Wow, a lot of people are cutting on these two. Y’all watched it so it couldn’t be so bad.they did what they had 2 do although it wasn’t right
I looked them on Facebook and they aren’t on there
Maybe it didn’t work out
