So after Nev gave himself a chance to recover from the crushing disappointment of failing to form a lasting friendship between Jasmine and Mhissy last week, he decided to hit the emails again to find his next project.  He likes an email from Jarrod, a guy who was in a band after high school until he knocked up his girlfriend at age 20.  Fast forward a few years and he’s married to that girlfriend and raising a daughter when the wife decides she’s had enough and takes off.  After that, poor Jarrod gave up on dating until he met Abby online.  Abby is, of course, his beautiful dream girl.  Jarrod and Abby have never had video capability on their computers at the same time and they’ve only talked on the phone, so meeting in person would be Jarrod’s dream come true.  He lives in Georgia and Abby lives in Mississippi.  Nev immediately skypes Jarrod to make sure he’s serious and ready to sign a release to be filmed.  Jarrod can’t wait. 

“Good, cause there are three cameras, an iPhone and a flipcam filming you now.”

Nev feels a special connection to this case because it is eerily similar to his own.  Mostly because of the name Abby, which was the name of the “8-year-old girl” who “painted Nev’s photographs,” launching his original online debacle.

Nev and Max fly to Georgia, then once again have to drive themselves off to some podunk town where no one has anything to do but fall in love on Facebook.  Jarrod invites them into his home to see all of the instruments he plays in his band and pictures of his six-year-old daughter. 

“We don’t get much opera in these parts.  Not a whole lot to do…”

He tells us that he is in love with Abby.  He can’t leave the area because he’s not allowed to take his daughter with him, but luckily Abby has said she is willing to move to the middle of nowhere to be with Jarrod.  What she’s NOT willing to do is skype.  I haven’t caught yet how long they’ve been talking, but Jarrod says that Abby was coming to visit him once, but on the day of the visit she told him something came up with her family and she HAD to go to Mississippi, so it all fell through.  Here’s a picture of Abby:

“I have the hardest time finding dates.”

Why do YOU think she cancelled the visit and can’t skype?  Jarrod gets all emotional, saying that girls always put him in the Friend Zone and he’s always been on the sidelines watching all the other couples go by (except, I might point out, for that interlude when he was MARRIED), and he wants it to be his turn.  You’ve had a turn, Jarrod.  You want another turn.  Some people never even get one – I’m just saying.  Nev is quick to point out that no matter what, Jarrod has a very deep connection with the girl he’s been chatting with.  That’s right and it would be very shallow of Jarrod to care at this point if Abby has been using fake pictures, right?  Nev and Max head out, talking about how head over heels Jarrod is.

At a cafe the guys pull up Abby’s Facebook page and notice a guy named Abbott who has posted on her wall.  They message Abbott and he is conveniently readily available and willing to talk about Abby.  He says that he’s sure he’s skyped with her, even though he can’t remember when, and she’s definitely the girl in the pictures.  But remember last week when Mhissy pretended to be not only Mike, but also Mike’s friends?  Yeah.  So they call Abby next.  I never answer calls from unknown numbers but everybody on this show does.  Then they spill their guts to the unknown number.  Like now – Abby tells the guys that she likes Jarrod a lot and looks forward to his calls.  When Nev asks if she’d like to meet him in person, she hesitates, then says, “Yeah.”  Wow, she sounds the opposite of excited.  They hang up and Max goes, “She sounds like a girl who talks to guys on Facebook.”  Ha!  Nev is convinced that her voice matches the Abby pictures.  Whatever THAT means.  Cute voice I guess? 

“Her picture is cute AND her voice is cute.  She MUST be the real thing.”

And now for the dreaded Google image search.  Sure enough, the Facebook page of a girl named Shana comes up with Abby’s picture.  Shana lives in Ohio.  The guys – as always – speculate that perhaps someone has stolen Abby’s pictures and created a false profile under the name Shana.  RIGHT.  The person who engages in Facebook romances, refuses to skype and has sudden emergencies come up whenever it’s time to meet in person is the one who’s had her identity borrowed.  

The next day the guys join Jarrod at band practice to give him the news of their Google search.  We’re treated to a moment of Jarrod’s band playing while Jarrod screams into a microphone. 

Well… he got on MTV.

Jarrod’s situation is so not appealing.  He has a little girl, for heaven’s sake, and he’s still living his teenage dream of being in a band with his buddies.  Not promising.  There are a couple of girls hanging around watching band practice and Nev wants to ask them a few questions since they are friends with Jarrod.  They all sit around on a porch swatting flies and the girls say that Abby bugs them because she talks a big game about meeting up in person but then always backs out.  One of them says Abby has a “petite” voice.  LOL.  

Nev and Max take Jarrod to a restaurant to show him the second Facebook page in private.  You can tell that Jarrod immediately knows the score.  He’s not trying to explain things away, saying maybe Shana stole Abby’s pictures.  Even when Nev suggests that, Jarrod just sits there with his hand over his mouth.  He is super disappointed.  Nev keeps going, saying there are SO many possibilities as to what this could mean.  Shut up, Nev – the jig is obviously up. 

Nev:  “Maybe they were twins separated at birth.  Have you seen The Parent Trap?”

Jarrod says he should have known it would turn out to be something like this.  But he decides he still wants to meet Abby, whoever she is.  Nev calls Abby, asking if they can come to Mississippi to meet her tomorrow and Abby is all weird, saying she’s not sure what she’s got going on tomorrow.  Nev tells her to clear her schedule because Jarrod’s really sweet and they’re not messing around here.  She finally agrees.

On the road trip to Mississippi Jarrod talks to Nev about how much he really loves Abby.  Not just the idea of Abby, but her.  And if she’s not who she says she is that will suck, but if her personality is the same, Jarrod will be happy with that.  He’s saying things like the timing is right and everything feels right.  So I guess he’s hoping that as long as Abby is not a total invention, he wants to keep his relationship with her.  Hmm, we’ll see if he sticks to that.

They arrive at a little house and have to go through a gate into a backyard where there are more little houses.  I swear, these people always live in Sketchville.   Remember “Jamison?”  They knock on the door of what looks like a tool shed. 

Hopefully it’s at least waterproof.

No one answers.  They wander toward the back of the tool shed where there is a small patio and another door.  A girl comes out of the door.  Here she is:

“I KNOW you were expecting something different.”

She says, “It is what it is, I suppose.  I mean I know I’m not Barbie or anything like that, you know.”  She says she has a lot of explaining to do and starts by introducing herself as Melissa.  It quickly becomes clear that Melissa is one of those people who chatters to fill an awkward silence, which Jarrod is hanging in the middle of.  Melissa goes on, “I guess you know me, just not ME, you know what I mean? All the emotions, just a different face I suppose…”  she finally trails off and Jarrod offers her NO help, so Nev finally asks why she has a fake profile. 

Melissa says that she’s always suffered from self-esteem issues.  In fact, she used to cut herself.  Oh great.  Now if Jarrod rejects her because of her looks he will be responsible for her impending suicide.  Anyway, she made the fake profile so that she could feel better about herself.  How does getting people to respond to someone else’s picture make one feel better about oneself?  Nev takes Jarrod aside and reminds him of everything he said on the car ride down.  Jarrod just says, “Yeah,” and sits down on the ground.  He says he’s trying to make sense of everything.  Melissa is insisting that she was completely herself – except for the name and the picture.  She has her own legitimate profile, but the guys on her “Abby” profile wouldn’t be friends with her if they saw her actual picture.  She says all this in a series of awkward, stammering repetitive spurts.  Jarrod is all confused and Nev says he needs some time to think about everything.  Jarrod staggers away like he’s just been hit in the head.  Very awkward.

Back at the hotel, Jarrod is actually very magnanimous, saying he understands what it’s like to wish you could change who you are, even for a day.  Max points out that Melissa could have told him the truth at any time, but chose not to.  Nev asks Jarrod if he’s going to miss Abby, then makes a big ceremony out of filming Jarrod “unfriending” Abby on Facebook.  How melodramatic. Right before Jarrod clicks, Nev goes, “You sure?”  No Nev.  Jarrod should totally stay friends with Abby now that he knows she doesn’t exist.  

The next morning Nev calls Melissa to ask if they can all spend the day together.  She says yes and we see pictures from her real Facebook profile.  She’s 19.  The guys head back to the tool shed where Melissa emerges with her cousin Lindsay, who looks like her identical twin.

So The Parent Trap theory could still be relevant…

Nev takes Lindsay aside, leaving Melissa and Jarrod to talk.  Melissa barely takes a breath while she yammers on about how nervous she’s been and she’s afraid she’s ruined everything.  Jarrod just smokes and says, “yeah,” once in a while.  Lindsay tells Nev how funny and caring Melissa is and that she created the profile to improve her self-esteem.  Okay, pretending to be someone else can’t actually improve your self-esteem.  It might improve your acting skills, but acting doesn’t make you feel better about being you.  Lindsay says that having a fake profile seems like a lot to worry about on a daily basis.  Seriously.  Don’t these people have jobs?  Come to think of it, it’s been unclear whether ANY of the fakers have had actual jobs (I mean besides being models and producers).  And a couple of them HAVE been nearly homeless.  

Let’s go to the beach!  The ocean is very calming and will certainly help to clear things up.  Melissa sits with Nev and assures him that her fake profile days are over and it’s time to grow up.  She doesn’t know if Jarrod will ever forgive her. 

Nev:  “The important thing is that you were yourself on the phone.”

Jarrod finally mentions that they’ve been talking for a year and half, and he feels like the person he’s known during that time died last night.  Melissa promises that she meant everything she ever said to Jarrod and feels terrible about deceiving him.  Jarrod says that he fell for Abby because of Melissa’s personality and he doesn’t want to lose their friendship now.  Friendship?  I thought he was so in love, regardless of appearances.  They decide to start over by being Facebook friends again – for reals this time.  Nev is OVERJOYED and gets to snap his BFF photo.

Jarrod looks like he’s in physical pain.

A month later Jarrod has grown a beard and put his romantic pursuits on hold to focus on his music.  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!! His music!  Oh, his poor daughter.  He still talks to Melissa every day.  And as for Melissa, she’s deactivated the “Abby” profile and also lost 15 pounds.  Of course she has – she met Nev, didn’t she?  It sounds like they’re planning to meet up again soon, so Nev’s work here is done.  No appearance from Shana – the actual girl from the Abby pictures.  Thanks for nothing, Nev.

Well, Jarrod actually seems like a pretty nice guy.  Many guys would have taken off screaming when they found out that the little blonde pixie was actually… well, Melissa.  Melissa seems very young and very nervous.  I guess it’s nice that they can stay friends.  I mean, what else have they got?

How did you guys like this week’s adventure?

Thanks for reading!

Late one afternoon in 2005, Honey Gangsta received an invite to join a two person blog set up by her former roommate who had recently ditched LA (California knows how to party) for the bright lights of NYC (these streets will make you feel brand new, the lights will inspire you). The purpose of the blog was to continue their nightly ritual of ripping on reality TV, which could no longer be done in person. Since Honey Gangsta was still watching 18 hours of TV a day and had nothing else to do, she agreed. 10,000 hits later, HG was inspired to submit a Bachelor recap to TVgasm - no one was reporting on Officer Mayo and his time traveling DeLorean - and the rest is history. It's been said that she writes what you're thinking. It's been said she is a genius - a Blogger Laureate of her time. It's also been said that the earth is flat and no one landed on the moon, so you just never know. With her keen observations, and colorful commentary, Honey Gangsta is beloved the world over.

    Seriously? Is it going to be this same thing week after week? I had semi-high hopes for this show but there’s no element of surprise, except for he/she isn’t going to be who they say they are, the only question is who will they turn out to be. Every show ends in disappointment so I don’t even watch anymore. I just look forward to your recaps to see what this week’s disappointing reveal will be. I’ll start tuning in when/if something a little different starts happening. In the meantime, keep up the awesome recapping!

    Jasmine didn’t get to talk to the real Mike last week, either. My guess is that only the \professional\ models get contacted because it would just feed their ego that someone pretended to be them, instead of legitimately freak out the normal population. The Friendship Patrol is only interested in forcing friendship on one party deceived, although I could totally see Nev working the \imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, give ‘em a chance!\ angle.

    My question is, what if the \normal people\ who got their pictures stolen just happen to watch the show? Oh, small casualties on the path to friendship!!!

    Lastly, deceived people, since you clearly have an iota of an inkling that you’re not being told the truth, don’t wax poetic about how you love the person, not the idea. When you’re being lied to you can’t be in love with anything but the idea. No one blames you, but keep your mouth shut – no need to look like an idiot AND shallow in the end. Looking like an idiot is enough.

    @RTVfan – I started to think the same thing after episode 2, but Matt was real and Mhixsstry was such a mess that I couldn’t turn away, so my interest is still piqued. I also swear I read Nev insisted there are some happy endings (that’s what he said – and where did I read that? Here?), although to be fair, Nev probably thinks these are ALL happy endings as long as he gets the official seal of friendship, the BFF photo. I get what you’re saying though.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the recaps!! They are even more entertaining than the show!!

    My husband commented last night about the lack of legit people in the episodes, and said that he hoped that eventually, some of them will turn out to be true.

    I have to disagree. The entertainment value from this show comes mainly from these poor suckers who get bamboozled (sometimes for YEARS) into believing these ridiculous lies. I tune in week after week to see the looks on Nev’s, Max’s and the ‘victim’s’ faces as they approach the ‘tool shed’ or the ghetto apartment, or whatever. I can honestly say that if the actual person behind the profile pics came out of a normal house, I would be devastated.

    If that makes me a horrible person, then horrible I am. I don’t watch reality tv for the happy endings.

    @smango, I could care less about a happy ending (ask my husband – heyo!) which is why I never watch romantic comedies, but I think the point being made is a different ending breaking the monotony, not the happiness itself. At least, that’s the point I was making. Although I did find myself feeling bad for Matt and that NEVER happens – but that’s most likely due to Kim’s terribly obvious reaction (and that’s a glass houses situation if I’ve ever seen it – amiright?). Damn you Friendship Patrol!

    It royally irked me when Melissa chalked it up to having low self esteem issues. In fact all of the people with exception of last week have chalked it up to feeling bad about themselves. Did you honestly think that you would live happily ever after with someone you have lied to for an extended period of time. Rather than bitching and complaining about your life and how you don’t like the way you look (I’m not a Barbie) do something about it. Get a new haircut, go out with your friends, do something…just for petes sake…get out of the house and off the computer and live life! Nothing is going to change if you sit around and feel sorry for yourself.

    I know this is beside the point, but it looks like Melissa lives in a storage shead with electricity. Seriously it looks like a shead that my parents have in their back yard.

    @Judgy I posted here that I saw an interview with Nev where he said there would be some happy endings. I agree with you, I don’t necessarily need a moonlight and roses ending, but when it always is following the same “oh I’ve been deceived” formula it’s become too predictable.

    Hey Guys!
    Thanks for continuing to tune in to my ramblings. I feel a lot of the repetition too. ESPECIALLY in the format. The scenes are in the exact same order every week, with pretty much similar results – the big scare coming from the Google image search. Not very imaginative.

    @Judgy and RTV – I, too, read somewhere that Nev tracked some people down who were legitimate. I hope Matt wasn’t our only hint of that – just because a trail leading to truth would at least be something surprising for one of these crazies. Judgy, I also think you’re EXACTLY right about the models being the only ones to agree to appear on camera (in the final scene – the people behind the fake photos). I’m sure they figure they’re getting exposure so it must be good. Even in Nev’s movie the fake picture girl was a model. They’re probably hoping someone will see them – and I’m sure their egos are overinflated at the thought of someone “borrowing” their pictures. That Scorpio guy? Please.

    @Honeybee – totally agree with you. Who DOESN’T have self-esteem issues in adolescence? This elaborate charade stuff goes way deeper than teenage angst. It’s the 21st century schizo or something. These people have some serious issues.

    @Labowner – LOL, I didn’t even think about Melissa’s makeup on this episode! Please give us your thoughts!!!

    Love you guys!

    I have to say, I read all of your recaps because I am interested in the idea of the show more than the show. I agree with RTVfan, unless there is actual hope of someone being who they said they were, this is just kind of sad and boring. It’s like watching someone realize that Prince in Nigeria they lent money to isn’t real. It’s hard for me to feel very sad for them, because it’s ridiculous, and it’s hard for me to be like “wtf how did you not know” because I am pretty sure even small children are not this gullible, and I’m not surprised that the Prince isn’t the Prince. But I do find your recaps interesting and entertaining! If this show was like 5 minutes long, I’d watch it.

    RE the show’s repetitive formula: When I watched this week’s episode last night, the whole “google image search” scene sounded exactly like a commercial/slash/ehow for google image search…”I’m going to perform a google image search by dragging the image into the search bar, and then click search, and then google will find any pages where this picture exists…” He says the exact same thing each week.

    And what’s the deal with Max? I get that Nev needs a buddy. Fine, Max. Hang out and play Devil’s Advocate now and then. But why on earth is he always filming? Be it with a regular camera, a cell phone, or even an actual camcorder… There are like 18 guys in their camera crew (we met them this week!!!! thanks, Jarrod!). So why is he always filming????

    I’ll step off my soapbox.

    Smango – it’s a bad economy. May be this is the only gig Max could get and constantly films to stay relevant?

    I think she looks much better with less makeup on, but I don’t wear any. I forgot who was recapping BH Nannies and was constantly berating the girl for her dark circles. I wanted to crawl into a hole because I wonder if that is what peepole say about me. I have those and no matter what is applied, there they are again. I am so not a female when it comes to applying and wearing makeup.

    Well this ep didn’t turn out as upsetting as I thought it’d be (seeing as Jarrod was just as dumb as the rest of ‘em). I guess that’ll be a running trait this season… And also, Jarrod? Seriously son? You go your whole life being friend zoned and then a girl like that starts talking to you??? Reality is your friend, let’s become acquainted to it.

    @Honey Gangsta: I agree with the model thing, cuz normal people wouldn’t be too thrilled to find out their pics were used like that. On the other hand, that Scorpio guy was so in love with himself, I thought it was hilarious. I kind of want to see more of him for some reason (his abs maybe idk, Max is the only eye candy on this show…).

    @smango: I have film major friends and they film a lot. Like, A LOT. And they film everything. It’s ridic but what are you gonna do? If they aren’t filming, they can’t breathe or something. It’s like those friends everyone has who have to take pics of everything.

    I also find the repetitive nature of the show frustrating- I don’t think it needs to be an hour long either, half and hour could be better?

    What’s funny to me is that the real person on the other end is usually a much better physical match than the ‘fake’ persona – (I could see Jarrod and Melissa together much more than Jarrod and \Abby\, same with the Scorpio couple , and Matt and the girl in his episode also (who was hypocritically devastated by his weight) – but everyone is so narcissistic that they refuse to accept that.

    Yes there’s the feeling of being lied to, but if Abby had turned out to be a totally different person than she said, but was still gorgeous, I’m sure Jarrod would have managed to overcome all those raging emotions.
    Pretty much in the car he should have said \No matter what she looks like, if that’s her personality, I would still want to be with her…. as long as she’s MUCH more attractive than I deserve.\

    Catflish reminds me of the show Cheaters- exactly the same format, we meet the ‘victim’ and then go off to do some research, then meet the victim again to explain what’s been found and see if he/she wants to continue, then there’s the big \confrontation\ scene! Especially last week’s ghetto fabulous ep with Jasmine and Mhissy seemed like it should be hosted by Joey Greco (can’t believe I remember his name, yet have completely forgotten how to do long division) in this weeks episode I found Melissa a lot more sympathetic that Jarrod… just like I found Matt a lot more sympathetic than whatsherface from that episode. Let’s hook Matt up with Melissa?

    @KimDragon, Cheaters is now being hosted by Clark Gable’s grandson Clark Gable (for some reason, this makes me laugh and probably make the original CG roll in his grave). I am just waiting for the season finale when someone gets deceived by someone of the same gender or something like that. The repetition of this show is dumb, but when Nev’s research is mainly a google search, couldn’t anyone of the deceived parties do that for themselves to avoid the supposed heartache they face?

    There are three things I remember about the show cheaters:

    1.) It is/was fillmed in Dallas…I often it was “hey that’s right down the street from so-and-so”
    2.) My old trainer was a bodyguard for the show for about a year.
    3.) The episode where Joey Greco got shanked.

    It was a guilty pleasure for me. When I was young and broke with only network tv…I’d come home on a Friday or Saturday drunk and catch it on at like 1:00am. (That and 48 Hours) but after too many episodes of both I started looking at everyone a little differently, like everyone around me was either a cheater or a murderer. I knew then I had to stop watching those shows.

    Haha wow I didn’t realise Cheaters was still on… and hosted by Clark Gable’s grandson Clark Gable?
    That is the worst thing I’ve ever heard!

    I never saw the episode where Joey Greco gets stabbed but I’ve heard about it, it sounds phenomenal!

    Did they start a dating service? Was it for the cheaters or the ‘cheatees’?

    I think Catfish is just like the slightly SLIGHTLY classier version of Cheaters. It would be great if someone who actually had some knowledge of psychology was dealing with these people, Nev has absolutely no credentials to counsel these people, especially those who are seriously damaged by trauma and/or dealing with real self-esteem issues and have been suicidal, he means well but just because he was fooled by ‘Abby’ and knows how to google search does not a counselor make! That said I’m sure I will watch Every. Single. Episode.

    Since everyone pointed out what I have been feeling about the show (repetitive, dumb people, makeup horrors) I will just mention the following:

    1. Melissa lived in a Tuff-Shed, apparantly located in a Tuff-Shed sales lot

    2. I liked Jarrods’s girl friends

    3. the name of the restaurant “Keith-B-Que”…..lmfao a million times

    4. I LOVE CHEATERS!!! I even bought a 6 hour unsencored DVD of all the best episodes for like $10 at Best Buy a few years ago. But, I gotta go with my main man, the OG Host Tommy Habeeb. He was way better than Joey Greco. Sepaking of which, I am sad to say the stabbing episode was later found out to be fake, from the girl who was on the show. She admitted to the whole thing.

    Was her make-up tragic? Yes. But she’s 19 and not the stable person. I think, despite her weight, she was a very pretty girl, and that Jarrod could’ve had a whole lot worse open that door. I am curious how he felt knowing that she is actually only 19. He’s 26? 27? Just curious.
    There is one episode in the credits video that shows Nev throwing his arms up in victory and saying, “yes!” as if the real deal walks out of the door. Only time will tell. I just know I’ll be tuned in to see it.
    Maybe it’s just me…but has anyone else noticed that most of the people stories have come from the South? Just another moment of my curiosity.

    No way that’s a “barn house”. That’s a legit fuckin shed yo.

    Love it. Last week it was make-up. This week – is it or is it not a shed?

    Did anyone find out who the actual blonde girl was? Was the Ohio profile fake too?

    it is kind of repetitive but I watch the show looking forward the explanations and the reactions. It is interesting for me since I am a “successful catfish” for 8 years (dont know a better way to say it)

    I felt really bad for the people I deceived because at the end I felt that if I was the person on the photo these people would be friends with me, these guys would talk to me without being considerated because I am a girl, I could say whatever the fuck I want and be as childish and that would be ok. That if I was the person on the picture that girl could be really happy with me and viceversa.

    It’s a common thing getting lost in your own lies and that’s why it took me 8 years to let go those people. I know who I am now and took all the experience as a relationship sketch that I know how to handle now. It is like Mario Benedetti mentioned in “Margaret Sullivan’s widoweds”.

    People like me has issue? yeah, for sure. But we all have I guess.

    Anyway, I enjoyed your recap :) and the comments xD
