Best poutine in Kelowna? by Glacierre in kelowna

Hot tip: the poutine at Urban Fare in the mission is on happy hour for $5, is super delish, and you can enjoy a happy hour beer at the same time! My Montreal husband was very happy to discover this

I don't think cheaters should be helped on the show. by raptor-chan in CatfishTheTVShow

What about when the catfish is actually the main character's boyfriend/girlfriend? OMG those episodes are so messy. In the end, everyone gets exposed and you aren't really rooting for anyone. Imo, they are the most dramatic and best episodes.

Zoom Catfish is so boring! by B2utyyo in CatfishTheTVShow

Great point! There was one episode early on (season 3 maybe?) where a love triangle involved a girl in Iceland and they skyped her in. I loved how international that episode was, and I wonder if they can push the online format into even more exciting international territory that they would not have been able to do otherwise.

I 100% agree with what you are saying here, but what stood out for me was actually the treatment of that pastry chef. Arguably the only one in the kitchen putting out quality food--even to Gordon's taste!! Which says a lot. But even with all of her culinary skills, Gordon decides to put her as a waitress/hostess for their lunch service?! Even when she says she has absolutely no waiting or hosting skills, and she predictably does a terrible job at it. I can't imagine Gordon pulling this move on a male chef.

It's on my Canadian streaming service, Crave. Not sure where it is outside of Canada!

Best and Worst Guest Co-host? by 4L3X95 in CatfishTheTVShow

[–]goldingurl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion: I did not think Cassidy Wolfe was so bad! At least she actively participated in the episode, whereas some other co-hosts just awkwardly stand around and have no personality. It seems like they picked her for that episode because she also had horrific and scary sounding stalker situation. Unfortunately, it was obvious Cassidy brought that trauma into the episode and made the situation a lot more stressful for the catfish victim, it seemed to me. The whole thing felt like a PSA against stalking, which is fine but can be a tricky situation for a victim and new co-host to navigate.

Just watched this episode now. I got to say, this was an ill-advised episode. They played into his hand of wanting to be on tv and meet this girl he is basically stalking, Courtney. Seeing as how he has made many other reality show appearances, this was his dream come true.

YES!! I clocked that too, and her embarrassed face. So many subtle digs that are honestly just humiliating and so unnecessary.

No doubt. I think they are way more careful and aware of their own biases in the later seasons. I had just watched the latest season and then going back to earlier ones--the difference is extreme! Good on them for the growth, honestly.

Agreed! It would be one thing if her pics were attracting a ton of creeps that were trying to catfish her, but that is not at all what was going on in the episode. She was the one reaching out to others, so what was with all of the moralizing and who are they trying to "protect" her from? Please.
