Ep 17. Robin & Wayne

Robin & Wayne is the seventeenth episode of season 6 of the popular TV show Catfish. This episode tells the story of Robin, a woman from Sacramento, who has been in an online relationship with a man named Wayne for three years. Despite having never met him in person, Robin is sure that Wayne is the one for her. Wayne lives in Pennsylvania and has a good job, but he always seems to have an excuse for not being able to meet up with Robin.

Robin's best friend, Kristen, is convinced that Wayne is not who he says he is, and urges Robin to contact the Catfish team for help. Robin finally reaches out to Nev and Max to get to the bottom of Wayne's excuses and figure out if he is real or if she's been catfished all along.

Nev and Max begin their investigation by looking up Wayne's phone number and finding out that it belongs to a woman named Olivia. This raises red flags and Nev and Max suspect that they may be dealing with a group of people catfishing Robin. As they dive deeper into their investigation, they discover that Wayne has been using fake pictures and fake names, and has been communicating with Robin using a fake accent.

Eventually, the Catfish team tracks down the real Wayne, who lives in a different town in Pennsylvania. They arrange a meeting between Robin and Wayne, and when they finally meet in person, it is revealed that Wayne had originally created the fake profile to escape his own unhappy life and live a fantasy with Robin. He had never intended for it to go on for so long and had fallen in love with Robin over the years.

The episode sheds light on the dangers of online dating and the consequences of creating fake profiles. It also highlights the importance of knowing who you are really talking to online and being careful when sharing personal information.

Overall, Robin & Wayne is a fascinating and emotional episode of Catfish that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It is a reminder of the power and pitfalls of social media and online relationships and will resonate with anyone who has ever fallen for someone they've only met online.
