This weekend when I was thinking about what documentary to
watch, I thought about all of the boring History channel shows, excluding
Ancient Aliens of course, the different ones on National Geographic, and the
two hour long documentaries of Biography TV and I began to really dread this
blog. Then I thought of the new MTV show
Catfish. It is a documentary style TV
show that helps unite people that met over the internet. In the episode I decided to watch, the host
Nev helped a girl meet a guy she met on facebook. At the beginning of the show, they go to the
person and interview them about their feelings, about their relationship with
the other person, and what they know about the other person. In the next part they do a lot of research on
the other person to see if they really are the person they claim to be. From there they contact the person to see if
they can meet up. The rest of the show
is about them meeting and their reactions.
In the particular episode I saw, the girl thought she was talking to
this guy for over a year and that they had made an emotional connection. As Nev did his research, he began to find a
lot of flaws in the “guys” facebook page.
Despite this, they still set up a meeting. When she was waiting to see the guy, a girl
walked out and said that she was the “guy” and that she was doing it just to be
mean to the girl. In the end, the girl
had major relationship issues now and the other girl continues to use the “guys”
facebook page to mess with people. This
was probably the best possible documentary to watch. It was about something that was very
interesting and they did it in a way that held my attention.
