Grade: A+
MTV aired the season two premiere of “Catfish” on Tuesday night. The reality show investigates suspicious relationships held over the Internet. Show hosts Nev and Max attempt to bring both parties together while usually discovering the other person isn’t who they seem. The episode centers on Cassie, a Miami resident who works at local radio station. After her father’s death, she drinks, parties and engages in promiscuous behavior. A handsome rapper, “Steve,” comes to her rescue, and they form a relationship for more than two years through phone calls and text messages. She also asked him to marry her. The show gives an interesting twist that most viewers won’t see coming. The laughable drama and Cassie’s confession about phone sex on national TV made this episode hilarious and worth watching.
