Is anyone watching this? This show is hilarious!

Basically people who are dating someone online get set up to meet them and see if they were a fake. I can't believe anyone could be feeling for this in 2012 with Skype and Facetime. SMH!

Tonight's episode was sad/hilarious. It was an exotic dancer thinking she was talking to another dancer with a nice body in Atlanta. He turned out to be some big slob who was pushing 40 who lived not even 20 minutes away.

OMG!! You don't know how hard I died laughing at this statement laugh.pnglaugh.png

I like this show too. It's HYSTERICAL. It makes me wonder about the random people I used to talk to on MySpace a few years ago when I was like 12/13 years old. LOL. I'm cringing just thinking about it now. When I was in 6th/7th grade (AKA when MySpace was the sh!t), me & my trackmates used to add as many people on there as we could and we always thought we were awesome talking to all these hot girls & cool guys across the country and whatnot. OMG, just no. I can barely stand to think about who those scavengers really were.

The latest episode was great. Did anyone elses heart drop when Nev looked up "Lee Avent" and that old man's face popped on the screen? LMAO!

Yep. I only half-watched the ep while doing other stuff, but I believe he actually was who he said he was. Like, he and the girl had been talking online for 10 years, and she'd seen tons of pictures of him early when they were still in high school, but he just stopped sending them as he gained more and more weight.

This show just reinforces why online dating is NOT my kinda party!

Oh wow! I have a friend of a friend who started talking to me in the summer. We got pretty close and out of nowhere he came up with this online boyfriend (who claims to hear voices no less!) and suddenly he was in love and kicked me to the curb. I found it pretty hilarious, but they're still together and will finally meet in two weeks. I can't wait to see how his works out. On the phone his boyfriend sounds like an old man but is supposed to be 22. He calls him his Catfish and now I know why lol.

I only saw one episode, but I kinda had a similar opinion as I did with the movie--how much of it is real? I do have a friend who I met online under false pretenses--he sent me fake photos for about a year, and then when he found out I was going down to San Francisco and we actually might met he completely apologized and sent me his real photo. He wasn't a ridiculously fit, white model, but a slightly chubby (but cute) latino guy. He didn't think I'd ever want to meet him after that, but of course I did--he was still the same guy I'd been talking to, and it was great--he's come up here to Canada and visited as well. But we never really talked online about a love connection and maybe that makes a difference. (BTW the guy in my avatar is just an ugly pic I found online of someone I wish looked like me--I'm black and 400 pounds).

I just saw my first episode and it was about Kim and Matt. I was almost in tears when he was telling his story. I felt bad for the guy but Im glad things worked out for both of them. He seems like a sweet enough person and she has a good heart

I have to admit I was judging at first. I didnt get her saying she has been speaking to him online for 10 years, never saw him and thought he was her soulmate. I thought she was an idiot and thought she had no life but then revealed she's had relationships and is one so she wsnt holding back bc of this inline friendship. I really felt for her as well when she talked about her ex that was on drugs and died

Was surrpised to see the show is an hour bc I thought it would be a half. Now need to go check the others

Havent seen the recent show but saw the first two. Totally judging the first chick. I cant beleive she had been talking to this "guy" online for almost a year and was thinking marriage. Bitch had wedding books and everything! When we heard RJ's voice for the first time, IA with the guys bc it sounded like a 12 year old boys. That wasnt the first clue something was up? The lies were so over the top. Was NOT expecting some 18 year old lesbian to come out. That entire thing seemed like a setup bc its hard to believe smoeone can be that foolish

Stripper girl....I guess even strippers want love...lol. She seemed like a sweet person with a good heart

Im surprised with how the show is handling the "liars" for lack of a better term. Im surprised that they have them coming across sympathetic and they arent demonized

    • BTG is fire!!! It has definitely found it's footing and has exceeded my expectations.  Wednesday's episode and the scene with Dani & Chelsea was everything. I wish my 13yo self could have seen a scene like that.  Dana/Leslie is absolutely nuts, but I love her. TMG, is just amazing, as is AM. All of the cast is improving and settling in.  I can't wait to see how all the stories play out.

    • GH 1976 Pt 5 Cam portrays the betrayed-and-long-suffering husband magnificently, telling Diana that emotional infidelity is as bad as the other kind. He then broodingly tells Diana that if he’s found gone over the balcony of the penthouse, it won’t have been suicide—Leslie will have pushed him. Or, more likely, she would find a less obvious method. But he can handle both their problems, he assures Diana. He reaches for the phone and in moments arranges for a plum job offer for Peter as a psychiatric consultant at one of Cam’s West Coast companies, with a lucrative salary to go with it. When Diana assures him that Peter won’t accept the position, Cam insists that it’s up to Diana to see that he does, for the sake of her marriage. After a harrowing night with their patient, whose suicide attempt followed the loss of a baby, Leslie breaks down from both her patient’s agony and her own. But, as she tells Peter, she has to see Cam and end it now. She confronts him in the apartment and tells him that his actions were designed to take Laura from her and his complete disregard for her feelings have ended their marriage. Cam insists that he found Waverly out of love for her, which she doubts. But he  manages to convince her that he’ll sleep in the den, |so she won’t have to move to a hotel. He hopes this minor concession will give him time to make her realize what she’s about to give up. But in the morning he sees that she’s still adamant as she tells him things have to be his way or no way. Ironically, this is the day Men and Women Magazine hits the stands with their cover feature story “A Unique Medical Team,” with Leslie and Peter on the cover. Diana, badly upset at Peter’s overwhelming concentration on Leslie’s problems, commiserates with Cam, who points out that the article “makes them sound like they’re married!”  To Terri’s relief, Jeff is finally able to overcome his resentment of his brother and makes up with Rick. He reminds Rick that it is he, Jeff, who is the winner he has Monica, and she loves him. With Rick back on surgical service, Monica decides to specialize in surgery. Jeff is hurt when he learns that Steve has approved her transfer to surgical service, as he feels that Rick’s surgical success magnifies his own failure as a surgical candidate. To compensate, Jeff deliberately fondles Monica whenever Rick is around, as if to remind him that he won in the long run. But Rick can only suppress so much, and when Monica loses a young patient and cries in his arms, Rick kisses her with great passion and confesses he never stopped loving her and wanting her. Monica, in turn, explains that she fell in love with Jeff only out of her grief over Rick, and has never stopped loving him. Monica is frantic when Rick tells her they can’t hurt Jeff and he’s moving out of their apartment because he can’t sleep twenty feet from her and his brother without someday having the situation explode and destroying Jeff. Heather Grant, a young girl who followed a General Hospital intern to Port Charles after he told her he was a doctor on a singles’ cruise, sees the answer to her determination to “better herself” when she recognizes Peter from the magazine cover and learns that his wife has just lost her baby-sitter. With references her mother helped forge, Heather gets the job, and immediately she promotes a live-in position by claiming her mother will insist she go home otherwise. Peter, initially reluctant, comes to see the advantages and agrees. With her emotional problems solved, Audrey decides to accept her friends’ advice and look to the future. She goes to Steve’s office and tells him she loves him. To her joy, he replies, “I’ve always loved you, and never more than at this moment. And this time we’re going to live happily ever after.” But their happiness is shattered when, moments later, Steve falls down a flight of stairs and suffers an occipital skull fracture and internal injuries. Audrey,constantly at his bedside, knows she never stopped loving him but just didn’t realize it. Steve comes to after twenty-four hours, but finds he has no feeling in his legs and can’t move them. Dr. Marriner, chief of neurosurgery, finds that Steve has a fracture of the seventh thoracic vertebra and surgery is almost impossible due to the risk to the spinal cord. Explaining that these things sometimes heal themselves, he suggests that Steve accept confinement to a wheelchair for a year, to see what happens. Audrey optimistically insists that their wedding will go off as planned, but Steve informs her that he won’t marry her unless his full functions are restored, including his ability to perform sexually. Since Steve was a good friend of their father’s, Rick and Jeff’s relationship is totally restored in this  crisis, leaving Monica to feel that their closeness shuts her out. To keep them both close to her, Monica begs Rick to change his mind and not move out, but he assures her he’s not a masochist and won’t subject himself to more of this for anything. When none of her machinations can prevent Rick from leaving, Monica decides she’ll find him an apartment and set it up as a love nest for the two of them. Cam has to fly to New York, as embezzlement has been discovered in his corporate books, and Cam is shocked to learn that his right-hand man, Mac, is the culprit. When Cam fires him without severance or recommendation, Mac warns Cam that he will someday get his just reward. Cam, angry and bitter, arrives home to find Leslie packing to leave him for good. When he accuses her of never having been a real wife to him, Leslie retorts that he too is admitting there is no marriage. Furious, Cam informs her that she doesn’t respond to patience and gentleness, and then he rapes her. Afterward, he forces her down to the car and shoves her in, driving off toward their mountain retreat. When Leslie begs him to let her go, he tells her he never relinquishes what he owns.He explains he’s going to make her ‘into the kind of wife he wants and she will respond —in ways she never dreamed existed. When she asks  if rape is part of his instruction plans, he savagely replies, “If necessary.” In terror, Leslie grabs for the wheel, and they struggle as the car, out of control, crashes. Leslie is later found dazed and in shock, wandering in the woods. At the hospital she is able to remember enough coherently to send the police to the area. They find Cam dead in the wreckage at the bridge. When Peter tells her Cam is dead, Leslie immediately blames herself, claiming that she killed him. Peter reminds her that she was in the hands of an evil and dangerous man.
    • At the time SFT was changing writers regularly (yet maintaining good ratings) all the other CBS shows were steady. Beginning in 75 All My Children was moved to 12.30-the first time there was soap competition.And then later Ryan's Hope was moved opposite Search. Did that impact the ratings? ATWT-Soderbergs, TGL-the Dobsons,Y&R-Bill Bell, EON-Slesar. Only LOL was swapping out writers ,and it's ratings were low.
    • Yes! I bet it was fun to act out. The evil roles usually are!
    • It hardly touches on EON. It's all about her spiritual journey where she tries just about everything on offer-past life experiences, spirit guides, various therapies-you name it-she's up for it. Everything except just using some common sense to deal with her issues(which aren't that different to most of us). She comes across to me as sweet, but nutty.
    • Oh, yes they were.  It just feels like the same mold to me?  Doug is much more likeable.  I was def thinking of Pete though to be fair 
    • Idk about that. Pete and Emilio were insufferable

    • Maybe.   He seems slightly too young for that, but I can't really grasp his age.  My guess is like 23.   Idk, he's a full grown adult but reads a lot like one of Melissa's boyfriends.  I know that is so old school.  Just kinda wrong side of the tracks, troubled, likes poetry, but never got a high school diploma or ever thought he could do anything with his life.  Even though Dougie wasn't poor I think we are supposed to think that. I was shocked there wasn't a nip slip.  It was close.
