Bad acting
jdsimmscolon7 September 2022
I don't usually write reviews but the acting on this show is terrible. I have watched all of the episodes of Catfish and thought this might be decent; I was wrong. After the first two episodes of this, I was done. The secrets were wack and the people on the show aside from the hosts are painful to watch, especially the second episode. Just awful. I don't know where they found these folks but they were clearly desperate to be on television. I can't even have this on in the background while I do other things since the lack of sincerity is distracting. I'm only continuing to write since I keep getting an error that this review is too short and this is honestly more time and effort than what this show deserves.

WOW THE ACTING
mattmombbackup1 March 2023
Let me start off by saying I love cheese acting/low budget movies. However, this TV show has the WORST acting I have ever seen. I have seen more realistic acting froma play my child was in in the 3rd grade. The story lines are so over the top, there is zero emotion, and they find the fakest actors you could possibly find. I love MTV Catfish but this show is an absolute trainwreck. It reminds me of the terrible acting on another garbage reality show duck dynasty. Do not waste your time or energy. I wanted to like this show, hell it might have the ability to be good. But I think MTV execs have realized, after teen mom and jersey shore, that they can basically film anything and people will watch it.

First and last viewing

I've given this a half hour and that was way too long. What is the deal with the hosts Ronnie and the blonde guy? After every sentence someone speaks to them, they are in perpetual shock at what they heard and need to regroup. C'mon now, I'm waiting for the guy to vomit or something.

I don't mean this to be rude, the concept of the show piqued my interest on the commercial - it's a great idea, it just needs to be cleaned up and definitely come across as more believable. It all just screams FAKE!!! With 92 more characters needed, this is tough. Why do these reviews need to have a mandatory length. Either way, it's safe to say goodnight now!

I was Catfished into watching this show!!
sunshinetwelve17 March 2023
I saw this show advertised during the premiere of Catfish, which I love. I had no idea this was the second season! I started from episode 1. I didn't take long for me to pick up on the fact that these were "actors". The emotions are obvi fake and they aren't responding like they would in the real world. Im not going to continue watching because the fake acting is just bleh. Sorry MTV. This ain't it. Come on, a dude is working as a paid cuddler then reveals he didn't tell the truth because he is broke? Pshhhh. I mean, when people are angry the exchange in dialogue will not go that smoothly. Puhleeze.

The secret is ....?
Husskade20 April 2023
In the time of if humans do it we'll film it I suspect we're getting near to the bottom of the 'reality' show barrel now if this is anything to go by.

In fairness the first series wasn't dreadful but that might just be novelty value. But it was watchable.

The second series is woeful and I think that the presenters know it's struggling. (It's coming to something when what I'm really interested in is what Rahne is wearing because the clothes always look great however, I digress.) I'm beginning to wonder if some of the 'hidden' are just using the series to raise awareness of their job/art/ whatever. Others come across as actors looking to find work. There's an awful temptation to take mental bets on what the 'secret' is about and sadly it's now far too obvious. The 'reveals' are not very revealing because they are telegraphed all the way through.

The series is an offshoot from 'Catfish' which despite its longevity keeps going crossed with a series about 'Ghosting'.

It's a shame it's become so dull to watch but perhaps it's because the premise is actually too serious or intimate for such a lightweight program.

Sometimes the trick is to know when to call it quits.

I hope the presenters get something of a much better calibre to present on MTV because they deserve a good show to front.

If you're really bored and there's genuinely nothing else to watch give it a go...Series 1 but 2. No....

The hosts are super likeable and handle the situations really well. Love the format of the show. Really hope we get more seasons. I binged it it one day.

Sorry....SO Fake!
treeshje-0633712 April 2023
Travis and Rahne are very likeable so they do make the sure entertaining to watch, but the rest is so ridiculous. First, when they call friends and family, to get info on the couple in the relationship, the first thing a friend or family member would do is call the person doing the hiding and tell them what's up. Second, none of it makes sense. Telsea was hiding her boyfriend from her soon-to-be ex-husband. When she dropped her kids off at his house, the boyfriend always stayed in the car. So, her kids never once, told their dad that their mom was living with another guy, who they really get along with? Never slipped one time? The editing is also REALLY bad. It's just over the top too faked to watch.

Overproduced, fake, and stupid
frantic-4152727 February 2023
Just a really, really bad show. Very clearly set-up and overproduced. A lot of the "secrets" just don't make sense. The interview venues are supposedly impromptu but are clearly stocked with lame props to make them appear real. Just a godawful waste of time of a show.

The episode with the personal trainers with the hothead woman makes it clear this is fake. No one that pops off this easily also never asks basic questions or never insists she be allowed at her boyfriend's house. It's just such a really dumb and contrived show. Complete waste of time. MTV sure has failed on this one. Time to shutter that business.

MTV needs to do better!!!
rachelzapert22 May 2024
Don't get me wrong at first I was very intrigued, until The first (and last) episode I watched was extremely annoying!!!

Everything was so scripted from the beginning to the end!

The camera work does not make any sense, The actors are so desperate to be on TV, The host tried their best but it still wasn't Believable.

They're obviously trying so hard, They need to bring back Raw reality, Or at least Do a better job of making it look like reality.

All I could say about this show is Cancel it try again do better because it's not Bringing out the best of MTV.. P. S. Bring back the Music Videos.

Honestly, this seems ridiculously planned.
noellefrancis-0990016 March 2024
I started watched as I was looking for a new show. It seemed similar to catfish and i thought i was going to enjoy it. A few minutes in, I felt it was super fake. Episode 2 is just ridiculous. They defo planned to do the show together, to acted surprised and get attention or business clicks. I thought similar to episode one. Although, that girl was talented AF. Bravo girl.

Episode 2 was the final straw. The reactions seemed odd and not genuine.

Anyway, I'm not going to bother watching the rest as I can't sit through something that makes me feel like we are all being deceived. Each to their own.
