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

    • I watched some of Friday's show. It was sweet to see Julie celebrate her wedding anniversary to Doug (their second - kudos to the writing team for remembering). Those moments with Julie are always so moving to me because you can tell they are straight from Susan's heart.  I know Patsy Pease hasn't been on DAYS in 15 years, but I still miss Kim in weeks that are so important for the Bradys and their history on the show. Michael Dietz was always a very likeable presence onscreen, even if he was never the greatest actor. That hasn't changed.  I was impressed with how well put together the montage was of John's various identities/memories. A number of those stories were ludicrous, and several of them never should have existed, but the way this was all crafted you could see just what a unique character all those parts made John...and how much Drake played the material as best he could, no matter what. The mirror scene was a great inclusion as that really wrapped everything of John together - viewers never truly knew who he was, nor did the people in Salem, but it didn't matter, as everyone loved him anyway. 
    • Been a long time, but always worth the wait!  1973 will be coming soon!  Hooray!!

    • Thanks @Paul Raven  Amidst these terrible stories I see we get the arrival of Heather. I never knew Alice forged references for her. No wonder she later became a murderer. She was a criminal all along.  The Jeff/Monica/Rick story always seems so brazen and so depressing all at once - I can't imagine how people would have talked about it in the Internet/Twitter era.  I don't understand the choice to put Audrey and Steve through even more misery after they had been separated for almost a decade. The sudden inclusion of magazine stories is fascinating...and I'm not sure if it is ever a huge story narrative for GH after this point, even when characters on the show ran magazines. The end of the Leslie and Cam story did not need to be like this (and feels a little rushed). Had every woman on the canvas at this time been raped?   
    • I am bewildered and fascinated by the choice to have John Loprieno and Adam Storke play out all their dramatic sequences here in clown makeup. They really took that circus motif seriously.

    • Does anyone have a favorite adult Russ Matthews?  Which actor did you like most?  Sam Groom, Robert Hover, or David Bailey??  And why?   And if Russ had returned late in AW's run, what actor would you have wanted to portray him?  One of the former actors, or someone new??  
    • I think the move to NBC dealt a huge blow to SFT that caused the show to slowly bleed out throughout their almost five year run on that network. SFT was a CBS show and it really showed when it first started airing on NBC so I understood P &G having to make adjustments to the soap in order to make it fit onto the NBC schedule vs the CBS schedule. The 1983 Tomlin/Lee era was probably the strongest while it was on NBC.  They managed to still focus on Stu/Stephanie/Jo while developing a strong youth focus with Wendy/Warren/Suzi/Kristen/ Brian with the comic element with Rhonda Sue and her partner.  This helped the show from staying the Liza/Travis show.. which it was in 1981/1982.
