With the most romantic series on cable, Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, leaving us soon, we now turn to another show about love and hurt people in need of hugs and potential trips to the pharmacist: MTV's Catfish: The TV Show. While we maintain that this show sullies the good name of an excellent variety of fried seafood, we’re willing to put that aside because, if nothing else, this show is usually hilarious. Strong emphasis on “usually,” since last night’s episode was a bust. 

Let’s break down last night’s edition of the cultural phenomenon and what lessons we can take to avoid getting—all together now!—#CATFISHED.
