Robin is 31 years old and lives in St. Paul Minnesota. Robin, girl, you are too old to be this stupid. They met in a Facebook Chat. I didn’t even know Facebook Chats existed. Wayne is really good-looking. Red flag. Wayne lives in Atlanta. Red Flag. Atlanta is probably the top city Catfish goes to track down losers. There are no straight men here so the Catfish is usually a female. Red Flag. He never video chats. Red Flag. She has sent him $300 to get a phone when his broke. Red Flag. He calls her from private numbers. Red Flag.
When the boys get to Robin’s house, I immediately notice the furniture and paint colors. I sure hope she asked for yellow and teal walls. How come she didn’t go for the leather couch? She has a green cloth couch with yellow accent pillows and a leather yellow chair that might be leather. Good for her for picking out something she likes. I am tired of the brown leather couch people.
Because Robin still has Wayne’s old number to the broken phone, Nev decides to call and see if the number is still working. A guy answers and says he is Wayne’s brother Sean. Wayne has a new number and he doesn’t want to give it out but take’s Nev’s name and number and says he will pass the message on to him. Wayne has never mentioned a brother to Robin.
The Incredibly Facile Investigation
A quick photo search of the hotty brings up a ton of people using his photo. The guys quickly figure out that the real guy is Koree, a gay guy from Mississippi. They guys call him up and he gives them the usual it happens all the time speech. I haven’t even watched the scene yet, but we are sticking to a tight script. Koree sounds really nice. He doesn’t the usual confirmation video chat with Robin and breaks the bad news to her.
The gang heads to Atlanta with nothing but a phone number, and productions map to the catfish’s house. Before they leave, Wayne calls the guys. Wayne does the usual reluctant catfish routine. He doesn’t seem to care one way or another about meeting Robin.
Meet Wayne
The crew pulls into a typical McMansion neighborhood in Atlanta with two cars in the driveway. Nev and Max are impressed. You can get a nice big house like that for about $300,000 down here. I do agree he could probably afford his own phone though. Unless he lives with his parents. Someone driving a Mazarati pulls into the driveway. This is getting ridiculous.
A dude with gold teeth and a big belly jumps out of the car wearing a hat and a shirt that say “Team Skyler” He says his name is Wayne. That Team Skyler is his motivational speaking and investment company. Yet there is no website for such a company. Correction. The teeth are not gold, they are just yellow. The ones that are not missing. Wayne says he took the $300 from Robin to be sure that she was real and really liked him for him and not for all his cars and money. The guys point out he was using a fake photo. He says that is because when they were in the chat room rating people’s photos, she picked the photo (of Koree) so he began using that photo so that he could talk to her.
The he admits when he first met her in the chat room he was married and had a kid. So he couldn’t give her is real phone number. He got divorced two years ago. He then had a lot of girlfriends. He says she is here now, shit happens. What does she want the Mazarati or the Audi?
This motivational speaker is motivating me to want to whip his ass. Basically, he says she has his heart, and all his “house hoes” are just a way for him to “get his rocks off.” When this episode began, I felt like Robin deserves whatever she gets. But nobody deserves this fool.
We have never been in the McMansion. This entire thing is happening in the driveway next to three cars that clearly do not belong to Wayne. I am betting we never go in this house.
Max tells Wayne he has a lot of making up to do and suggests that he take Robin out to dinner. I’m not sure where they went, but it looks like they are down at the Skrip Club. There is not another person in the place. I have no idea why production picked this seedy location for a romantic dinner. While I am trying to get a clue as to where they are, they have quickly agreed to just start over. Because clearly Robin is dumb enough to think he has all those cars and a big house.
“BUT,” says Wayne, “There certain stipulations.” Apparently, Wayne wants to move Robin in to live with him and another girl. Wait, didn’t Wayne just tell us that his house hoes don’t mean nothing to him? Now he wants to put her in the house with one or more of them? Wayne says he is a very sexual person and if she is not around someone else is going to “scratch that itch.” I know times are hard in Atlanta, ladies. But woman should be hard up enough to get with this dude. Robin explains to Wayne that his polyamourous lifestyle is just not for her.
The next day, Robin tells Nev and Max that Wayne is an asshole. When the stop by to tell Wayne they are leaving. There are two different cars in the driveway. Like a mustang and a gremlin or something. I don’t know. We actually go in the house. There are two new couches. In fact the entire house looks staged by someone who watched a lot of Dynasty growing up. It’s weird. I used to keep my dining room table set for two back when I kept my home in a livable condition, before THE CRAZY came. But no single man lives in a house with the dining room table set and dusty silk floral centerpieces. As for the paint, there are at least four colors on the wall as soon as you open the door. The dining room has a mustard color above the wainscoting and watermelon below. The living room has some color between apricot and tan on some walls and the watermelon color on the rest.
The only thing weirder than the decor was the conversation. Robin gives him a side hug and heads back to Minnesota.
At the two month check up, Robin is stupidly still talking to the fool. She says she is not interested in dating him. They call Wayne and he is still in that same house with the weird paint. He is still looking for him some house hoes.
TT, I don’t even bother watching cause your recaps are priceless!!!
LAWD….I can’t breath after reading this recap…from the gold ( yellow teeth) to the weird painted house…this is the best recap…I do not have to watch the show…I can just picture every scene in my head…Thanks TT
Love your recap! Can’t stop laughing ?. Wayne is a jerk and once I would have seen him I would have ran in the opposite direction. Life goes on and I hope Robin stays away from that jerk.?
Thanks. This must be airing a lot today, it’s trending again. What a crazy show. I live in Atlanta. There are no good straight men here.
Is it true that he actually died? I googled his name and I came up with an obit…and a REALLY white dude on LinkedIn…so, now I am just plain curious.
I want to know if she ever got her $300 back!
I wonder why she didn’t ask for it back.
She got her money back, they just didn’t air that part. Nev and Max asked him to give it back.
How do you know?
He gave it back and now that episode is airing again.
The whole time I watched this, I kept thinking WWTTS (what would Tamara Tattles say).
“When this episode began, I felt like Robin deserves whatever she gets. But nobody deserves this fool.
Truer words were never spoken!
I half watched this, and I noticed that mustang parked in front of the house on their first visit. I noticed on the second visit it was parked backwards like the Maserati and the Audi, he clearly rented for the show. How can he be a motivational speaker when he clearly has no grasp of the English language.
Just saw it and i was like Dam .thats crazy
I’m watching this episode right now, and I can’t stop thinking of two things: one, why didn’t Robin fix that nest on her head, knowing she was going to be on TV?! And two, I can literally almost smell the funk wafting off of Wayne. You just KNOW that monster stanks!
Why do you watch the show just to hate on it? The house clearly had a 2 car garage, yet you point out that the Maserati was replaced in the driveway by other cars. These cars were clearly on the street the day before, and the Audi can be seen in the garage on Wayne’s Instagram as he poses for a pic with Nev and Max. I doubt that his money is from any charity or legitimate business. Wayne is most likely a drug dealer using a charity or small business to clean his money. His Instagram also shows him in the Maserati on multiple occasions, it also shows the Yukon truck that was in the driveway on several occasions. You made a blog just to spread your opinion on a show for people to perceive as facts, all because you have nothing better to do.
lol. Yeah, I’m just bored. It’s not like I am running an actual business or anything. Wayne posing with cars with Nev and Max clearly proves those cars were his. Because no one on reality shows rentals cars to seem like they have money. I’m busted.
That guy is from Pittsburgh he was trying to recruit women for his escort service
😲😲😲😲😲😲
I love that his closing argument for 2 girlfriends is that he is just being real and honest, what most people are not, and he is giving himself now so there are no surprises later….. um…. where was this honest upfront person in the beginning of this relationship?
WOW typical DUMB ASS
WOW typical DUMB ASS…CAN’T FIX STUPID !!!!
Wayne is a good looking guy if she don’t want him lol 😆 I will take him. Even tho he catfish her I understand his view cause some women and men see things and get excited about other people stuff. IJS
