5 Crazy 'Catfish' Episodes That Were Too Strange To Forget
YouTube, MTV

I vividly remember the very first time I witnessed an episode of "Catfish". After watching the whole episode, and getting too into the intense search for the culprit, it left me wanting more. To this day, I still follow the show and all its stories. I've seen the latest season, and even the documentary that started it all.

Despite there being a plethora of episodes, there were a good handful that were so mad, I can't shake them from my brain. So I decided to pick the craziest of the crazy and explain why these six episodes were the ones I chose out of every single "Catfish" to ever be made.

1. Spencer and Katy

My favorite episode of Catfish to ever exist. A middle-aged man named Spencer emails "Catfish the T.V. Show" only to tell them that he believes he is emailing THE Katy Perry. Not only this, but he thinks they are madly in love with one another. What makes this episode so nuts is the fact that this Spencer guy never caves into admitting this "Katy" is a total Katy catfish. Even after they find the real girl who was sending him the emails, he STILL continued to email her and even referred to her as Katy. His excuse was he was "just double checking to make absolutely sure it wasn't her"....hello! You met the catfish in person dude!

2. Whitney and Bre

The first "Catfish" episode ever where Nev and Max had to call MTV to explain to them the insane situation this woman named Whitney got them into. What happened was, Whitney emailed Nev and Max to get some help with this girl named Bre she had been talking to on the internet.

Turns out, Whitney lied about the fact that she has never video chatted with Bre. Eventually, Nev and Max find out that Whitney was just messing with them all along to use them to get a plane ticket to see her girlfriend Bre, since they both can't afford to fly to see each other. Max and Nev end up being very angry with the whole situation, but still help get the two love birds together in the end.

3. Artis and Jess

Ah, yes. The episode that confused us all. Poor Artis just wanted to meet Jess, a woman he met on social media and had been talking with for a while. But, after a confusing investigation, Nev, Max, and Artis end up face to face with a scary, strange man that was Jess the whole time. Their conversation is very awkward, and we never really get a straight answer on why this man catfished Artis.

4. Antwane and Tony

What if your secret lover ended up being your salty cousin? After a long chase to help a guy named Antwane find his true love, it all came down to this meme-able statement from Antwane's cousin.

5. Kayla and Courtney

Quite possibly the strangest "Catfish" episode to ever air. So this girl named Kayla gets a message from a girl who claims to be channeling the ghost of Kayla's dad. After meeting the so called catfish, she introduces herself as Courtney and she was not lying about her experience with this "ghost father."

She truly believed she was channeling his spirit, and she ends up telling Kayla a bunch of things she thinks her father wanted to say to her.

What's your favorite "Catfish" episode?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
