‘Catfish’ Season 3, Episode 8

Posted byBy Ricky Riley | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Catfish-The-TV-ShowCatfish season 3, episode 8 airs tonight on MTV.

Jeff believes that he has found his dream girl, but he becomes suspicious and wants to meet her in person.

How do young people who’ve embraced the digital age find love? Often, it’s by connecting online with people they’ve never met in person. These days, messaging on iPhones has replaced the dinner date, and emailing through social media sites often substitutes for face-to-face conversations. The problem with this approach – the guy or girl you’ve fallen for could be lying about who they really are. Now, from the producers of the acclaimed documentary film Catfish comes a new MTV series that brings together couples who’ve interacted solely through their LCD screens. Over the course of months or years, these romantics have become smitten. But what will happen when they meet in real life for the first time? In each episode, with the guidance and help of the star of the Catfish movie, Nev Schulman, and his filmmaking pal, Max Joseph, hopeful romantic partners will go on an emotional journey to discover the truth about their significant others. Has that object of affection been telling the truth? Will true love truly blossom? When that fateful knock on the front door finally comes, only one thing is certain – that these incredible voyages will be filled with mystery, uncertainty, forgiveness, joy and, sometimes, even shocking revelations.

Catfish season 3, episode 8 airs July 2 at 10 p.m. EDT on MTV.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
