'This Is All Bullsh*t!': Catfish Just Staged Its Very First Sting Operation

Nev thought that each person was "full of sh*t" while in tonight's brand-new Catfish episode, and our trusted sleuth was correct about the hopeful Taylor along with her catfishes companions Hailey, Austin and Jade.


"It'll be Catfish's first full-on sting operation, and then at the end they'll fall on their own swords, and yes it will be obvious that this whole thing was just some foolish set-up," Nev stated before Taylor was exposed because the ultimate Catfish con (coming close to Hundra).


Nev and his co-host Tallulah Willis knew on day one that something with Taylor was "unsettling": Her love interest Christian (who claimed to go to high school with Taylor) was no longer on Facebook (where she mentioned they "met") because he was supposedly hacked; he had no other social media accounts. The pictures of Christian were a gentleman model (simple Google Image search). Oh, and his "old" phone number matched Taylor's friend Erica (Taylor's pal was referenced in the intro email, and Taylor even disclosed she was living in Atlanta).


"This is essentially also obvious," Nev stated. "She has one friend in Atlanta named Erica, and the phone number for Christian comes back registered to a girl named Erica. I mean, come on."


Come on, indeed. Yet Taylor was still playing games, claiming that it was Christian's old number.


"You knew that there was some weird connection with her and this story, which is why you acting surprised is weird to me," Nev said.


and it also was about to get a whole lot weirder. Taylor attempted to play off the number situation (it didn't work), and then Nev got a text from a random number that mentioned he was "getting played." He eventually learned the message was sent by a girl named Jade who lived in Atlanta, and she revealed that Christian was a guy named Austin and mentioned that each person needed to travel to Atlanta. Even more players in this grand plot!


Before the "sting operation," Nev and Tallulah mused that they each needed an eyeroll camera (even referencing Jim from The Office) for the upcoming encounter. And once each person -- Taylor, Austin, Jade and latecomer Hailey -- convened, no one was willing to reveal it was all an act. That is, up until Nev laid down the law.


"Let's just be sincere. Can someone just be f*cking trustworthy he asked. "This is silly. I just want someone to tell the f*cking truth. This is all bullsh*t!"


Enter a producer named Olga: Erica didn't desire to appear on the show and help Taylor with her "plan."


"Maybe Erica got cold feet, and then these guys got pulled in," Olga concluded.


Finally (FINALLY), Taylor told all -- in the middle of the most awkward Catfish sit-down ever.


"Erica determined to create it up and I wrote it," Taylor admitted. "And then Erica mentioned she didn't wish to look ridiculous. So I was like, 'Let me visualize if someone from Atlanta can do it.' So I wrote her [Hailey]."


And Nev was rightly pissed.


"You look so gross now he spat. "I don't think Erica is involved, I'm sorry. I just think ... You went through with this and also you so casually are just saying, like, 'Okay, yeah, that's it' and haven't seemed to once express any sense of remorse. [You're saying], 'Life is going to be brilliant for me anyway, so oops, sorry!' That's how I feel about you."


With that, Nev mentioned he was finished and declared the story was "over." He mentioned he felt bad that Hailey, Austin and Jade got "roped into this."


"Good luck -- sorry we have to ruin your big TV debut, and please don't ever waste my time again," he directed at Taylor.


Taylor set out to find Nev and Tallulah soon following the duo exited -- and finally mentioned it was a silly idea."


"I'm sorry it ended that way," she added. "I'm not a stuck-up and rude person -- that's not who I am."


Nev was grateful she "came tidy however gave her a fast visualize ya." In the end, though, Nev and Talullah were able to get to the bottom of Taylor's tale.
