    Catfish, like most reality shows, require everyone that appears on their show to sign waivers before any filming ever takes place. Marshall Eisen MTV's senior vice president of news and docs said to Vulturein part, "We never know 100 percent for sure if the catfish is going to go through with this."

    Many have questioned the authenticity of the show, and it's easy to see why they would. Some things are too good to be true. Even if sometimes things on the show just don't add up, Catfish is not scriptedon Nev or Max's part. It's as real as reality shows get, or at least that's what they want us to believe. The series does use an element of pre-pr...

    If you've ever watched Catfish before then you're aware of the intensity and dark turns it takes sometimes. There are a couple of episodes that left us concerned for the person's well-being. According to Vulture, MTV avails a therapist to everyonethat appears on the show. Kinda makes sense, as the whole experience has got to be nerve-wracking.

    The internet has made it easy to take a peek into the lives of the rich and famous, and for that reason, there are people who'll do anything for 15 minutes of fame... including lying about being Catfished. The show has paved way for some crazies, so it's great MTVhas a therapist on hand. Anything for that 15 minutes, right?

    MTV has been called out for selling the idea that the relationship between the catfisher and catfishee is always romantic. It goes without saying, but it's a more entertaining narrative that gets more people tuned in. According to Vice, Nev,and Max are thought tostage the confrontationson the show too. Either way, we will still tune in! Related: Wh...

    Catfish cybersleuths Max Joseph and Nev Schulman have incredible chemistry and part of the show's allure is the duo's witty banter. They are so great together, it only makes sense Joseph and Schulman are real-life buddies. Despite, Joseph leaving the showto focus on directing documentaries and movies, the two remain close.

    The show may be real but some aspects of it definitely seem staged and that's owing to the show's editing. MTV has been called out for manipulating and twisting storylines to make the show more entertaining. That makes many question the credibility of the show but most reality shows do this nevertheless. Considering the editing plays such a major r...

    The premise of the show is that the catfishee contacts Nev and Max asking for help tracking down the elusive person they've been talking to online. However, according to The Sun, it's usually the catfish that makes contactwith the show and not the catfishee. Hmmm, we get why many perceive the show to be scripted!

    Max and Nev researching the catfish is our favorite part of the show. Them following clues and piecing them together in a manner that would put Nancy Drew to shame is entertaining. The show edits it in a manner that makes it seem like it's done in record time but the truth is uncovering the truth requires quite a bit of time.

    The show always makes it seem like Nev and Max's meeting with the catfish is spontaneous and sometimes requires an amount of coaxing, which can't be the case, because the catfish is already miked when the cameras get there. It only makes sense, as viewers have to hear them clearly. While Nev and Max aren't the ones micing them up, the crew gets the...
