Nev and Max are beside themselves eager to find out if this Kari Ann is the real deal. Particularly because of the numerous provocative photos of her they’ve been seeing on her Facebook page. I’ve never seen Nev this flustered.
“I forgot how to Google Image Search. Is it super hot in here? Stop filming me. How do I open Facebook?”
They notice on Kari Ann’s page that she’s friends with a girl named Rose, who Joe told us was in his high school graduating class. There are pictures of Rose at some Playboy centerfold event in Las Vegas so Nev and Max determine that there may, in fact, be a connection here. They call Rose, who says that she’s internet friends with Kari Ann because she wanted to do some modeling projects with her, but they’ve never met in real life. Right, that’s the same way I became friends with Heidi Klum. Just hit her up to see if she’d do some modeling with me. Anyway, next Nev tracks down Kari Ann’s agent and calls him to tell him about the show and see if he knows anything about Kari Ann’s relationship with Joe. The agent is pretty hilarious. Nev, thinking he’s hot crap, explains about his show and the agent is like, “How the heck would I know who she’s chatting with online?” HA! Apparently he wasn’t too interested in getting Kari Ann an appearance on Catfish. Sorry Nev. They also messaged some guy named Kyle who is one of Kari Ann’s friends and he calls them to tell them that he knows Kari Ann and the number Joe has for her is her real phone number. He also mentions that he’s hooked up with Kari Ann a couple of times. OMG, that’s totally helpful information, Kyle. So Nev and Max decide that this Facebook page is either real or someone has gone to great lengths to fabricate it using numerous people. We keep getting glimpses of these photos of Kari Ann in lingerie or rolling naked in bed sheets. Nev is soaked in sweat.
The next day the guys meet up with Joe and Rose at some batting cages to reveal what they’ve discovered. Joe’s best friend Harley is also here. When they all sit down to chat Nev asks Rose if she’s talked to Kari Ann lately and Rose says yes, but it’s just been about business. Oh yes, their joint modeling venture, of course. Then Nev asks Harley what he thought when he first saw pictures of Kari Ann. Shockingly, Harley thought she was totally hot.
“I can’t wait to meet all her hot model friends who are just like her!”
Well the guys have every reason to believe that Kari Ann is genuine – particularly after speaking to her agent. What? Her agent told them he didn’t know anything and basically laughed in their faces. Or ears. Whatever. Joe says it would be amazing if he’s been talking to the real Kari Ann but he still wants to meet her to be sure. Good thinking, Joe. Nev takes Rose aside to see what she thinks and Rose says she totally thinks it’s really Kari Ann, but they should meet face to face and then go from there. Thanks for that profound insight, Rose.
“We have a bond because we’re both models, so I totally believe her.”

I was embarrassed that the moment they said her name, I knew exactly who Kari Ann was from Celebrity Rehab. Perhaps I watch too much shit tv?
Is anyone else not buying Rose’s model story?
Max – the voice if reason – where have you been all of these weeks?
Rose? A model for psychosis, maybe.
Of all the people to impersonate she picked one of the most horrid people on the planet?
Why would you pick her?
“Hey Kari-annnnnnn, whats your game now??? Can anybody play?”
aahhhh– do love me some oldies from the juke-box!!
and Lordy Lordy– my cap code is……..game is up
word cap code word
Nev really got fooled in this one.
I wonder if KariAnn has seen this episode and knows someone else is getting laid by being her?
Max was upset bc Rose lied to them and not because she lied to Joe!
Oh, Nev, clearly the phrase “Fool me once…etc..” Doesn’t apply to you!
I am so glad you mentioned the talking horse part! I too was wondering where this schtick with the talking horse was coming from and then suddenly, “Oh, it’s the strange-voiced Dad.” And we still never got an answer on who Kyle was that verified the phone number and that he had bonked Kari Ann. A friend of Rose’s? Maybe Rose bonked him in the dark and he thinks he actually bonked Kari Ann? And lastly, why does everyone on this show have a such a huge ego that they constantly believe models are in love with them? Do they own a mirror?
I second the Mr. Ed thought. I had to rewind it because I totally thought the horse was talking!!
Max must have eaten his Wheaties before this episode! I have never seen so passionate and outspoken! On the other hand, Nev seemed like he forgot where he was half the time. He seemed completely bumfuzzled.
GREAT recap, btw!!!
Is it mean of me to think Joe should be on that Vampire Freaks site as I am assuming the girls would swoon when they saw his teeth?
Great recap!!!
This episode was a total mindfuck!!!!!!
Why would Rose pretend to be Kari Anne, one of the trashiest skanks in all the land?
Did the dude google Kari Anne, see the many references of meth, sex tapes, bizarre engagements, and rehab stints and just say …..mehhh, whatever?
Will Rose eventually stab poor Joe in his sleep and use his blood as lipstick in some kind of psycho skank ritual? BECAUSE SHE IS BATSHIT CRAZY
Nev and the Gang were kinda harsh in the first episode on the Model/Comedy Cue Card Writer/Online Anesthesiology Student chick, but in a nice way.
I think that they were just super pissed that Rose lied to them flat out at the batting cages. They may have been more mellow if she had lied to them at putt putt. It was probably just a knee jerk reaction because they didn’t figure it out themselves and they were so sure she was the real deal and they just completely schooled.
Joe was pretty cool about it though – he was all “Oh, that sucks, but whatevs. How fast does my ATV go, man?” Makes me wonder what they grow up on the farm in Warsaw, NY.
And I thought that episode with Missy was some crazy shit.
But this bitch? This bitch right here? She blows Missy out of the water and off the entire planet.
At least Missy had some kind of motive.
This chick built an entire life and deceived how many dudes (including one of her friends) for NO DAMN REASON.
And can we discuss the other guy that she was apparently “facebook proposing to” using the same profile? The look Nev gave her upon discovering her e-infidelity had me rolling. I’ve never seen him look at someone like that with his rainbows and butterflies self.
But for real, that Rose girl is so sick in the head. And those shorts she was wearing in the final scene with her and Joe were tooooshort. Both asscheeks hanging out, just flapping in the wind.
She has some serious self-esteem issues. I understand why, because trying to model with that face can’t be easy, but she really needs therapy.
I felt bad for the Catfish too, because he was dopey as fuck, but he seemed sweet. He didn’t deserve that nonsense.
I love how Max has just blossomed throughout this series. He’s seriously my favorite.
At first, he was going along with Nev’s Friendship Patrol.
Then he started shading people here and there.
In the last episode, we saw him dumbstruck by the fuckery that was unfolding before his eyes, as he contemplated whether this was real life or simply fantasy.
And now, he’s clearly reached the point where he is having none of anyone’s shit. Not Nev’s shit, not the Catfish’s shit. People gon’ learn today.
They need to just fire Nev and make Max the host.
*felt bad for the Catfish’s victim.
Not for the catfish, bitch was cray.
Wish they’d said who the other people were on the phone. And “KariAnn”‘s voice really sounded nothing like Rose, so if that was her, she may have a future in voiceovers. She definitely has a face for radio.
According to TheDirty (VH1 overlap shout out), Rose and Kari Ann know each other in real life and were/are trying to pitch a reality show. It also sounded like the real soul-sucking Kari Ann on the phone so I’m not convinced they didn’t fabricate the whole thing as a ploy to get some publicity. The REAL questions are, how did this kid who I don’t think is playing with a full deck upstairs get involved, and where can I get some of that deluded self-confidence that girls like Rose have?
Judgy – I think you’re right! I feel so used.
I love Max! I think he probably has more harsh words to say about people then we see. But honestly how could they have not realized this was BS? This was a HUGE fail.
I love Max, I think he has more harsh and honest things to say then we see, because he is voice of reason. This episode was a HUGE fail. How could they have not figured out this was not Kari Ann or at least been much much more suspicious
I was just going to say that I thought that was the Kari Ann I was thinking of! So glad it is confirmed. She is an actual celeb of sorts so you would think the girl would have picked someone better to catfish as like some pageant girl that isnt known for being HORRIBLE. Currently she is like in a custody battle with her baby daddy that claims she was doing drugs around the kid (and a whole bunch of other bad details).
Anyway it broke my heart at the end when he wanted to see how fast his quad was… like does he not have any friends to do that with him? So sad if he doesnt! Also I think it is weird how Nev tries to make the guys on this show “cool” right afterwards even though they would be much more comfortable being themselves I think. I dunno if I am right or not on that one but I find it at least a little strange how Nev tries to pass these people off as something that they are not at the very end.
I guess we should be happy none of these have ended in violence, which is very possible.
I yearn for violence. ;__;
This show just gets more and more ridiculous and obviously phony with each episode, although Nev was at his giddy schoolgirl best this week.
@labowner, I was just thinking the other night how this has the potential for some Jenny Jones-level violence after all is said and done with the reveals.
I agree, HG. I am wondering how they knew about it so far in advance, but perhaps when you’re desperately trying to become relevant you know all of the insider marketing goings-on. I am the kind of hypocrite who hates social media until it can be of service to me, so I sought out Sunny from the first episode’s Twitter (ugh, I hated typing that) and she was claiming the show is real. But then I realized there’s probably a little thing called contractual obligation so who knows if that’s true or not.
Please don’t let what was I’m sure an intense heartbreak deter you from being one of my favorite recappers ever.
Just all kinds of wow. I didn’t realize that this girl was a “celebrity”. That makes this story even more ridiculous.
I just saw this episode over the weekend, and I was dying to come back here and see if you knew instantly, as I did, who Kerri Ann was. By the end, even Dr. Drew was like \F this bitch!!\
I think it was the real Kerri Ann on the phone. I don’t know she and Rose are in cahoots exactly (got some clues from Judgy – thanks), but it did sound exactly like Kerri Ann on the phone! That’s when the episode got good for me…at first I thought Rose picked a random D-list celeb, but then I was like ooooooh, there’s a connection. And, shouldn’t Nev and Max Googled Kerri Ann (regular Google, not the infamous Google Image)? That way, they would know she was on Celibrity RehabS? Maybe downloaded an episode or two? Rose is right. Their detective skills weren’t up to par, and that’s why they were mad. Also, does Kerri Ann not have a real page? And didn’t they see that she has multiple FB pages?
How did Rose get other people to collaborate with her on her schemes? Like I understand if she’s an f-ing wack job, but recruiting others into her messed up little facebook engagement life is even more strange.
Hey, real quick, how much of a loser am I if I befriend \Kerri Ann\ on FB just to see what this psycho has to say? I’ll probably delete it after a week or so, but I’m super curious. And bored.
Finally, I hope Joe finds love with a 4-wheel loving, horseback riding upstate NY cutie. He deserves it, and handled himself well. I’m happy they didn’t end up in the friendzone together. No awkward pic of them together, and I’m glad. Kerri Ann nor Rose deserve my boy Joe.
@chaos: Your posts have me cracking up!
Keri-ann brought meth to rehab. Enough said.
I called that it was rose the second that loony tune came on screen. And it would be just a bit too convenient for the first catfish episode for the online beau turn out to be as advertised to be the one with miss teen USA\n
It was also creeping me out when Nev would put miss teen Usa and Playboy in the same sentence. His poor little soul was crushed when the agent wouldn’t call Kari Ann to confirm her online love.
I died when they referred to imdb as a professional website – anyone can pay to be on it…
So much headf*ckery in this episode. It was so lame in that a simple Google search pulls up the Official KAP FB page as the 2nd result…where I discovered this statement:
“Just want to post the schedule of MTV Catfish Episode 7 “Joe & Kari Ann, if anyone has not yet seen this episode in question.
So you may come to your own conclusion watching first hand for yourself. I do hope you at least come to the conclusion, that it is NOT OK to pretend to be someone else at others expenses. Please contact Facebook officials to continue to work on monitoring all social media sites from opening and creating fake sites like the ones depicted in this episode.
I want to thank all my FB Fans for supporting me and my official FB page here !”
am I the only one who thinks rose is sexy. I normally don’t like big titted girls,
but I was attracted to rose more the kari ann.
but I have to see that she did some fucked up shit. she was a catfish in a league of her own.
I’m glad joe refused her.
“Nev analrapizes Rose,”
wait WHAT
