More fun from Tony Isabella & Diego Jourdan Pereira!
I’ve been catfishing you all for years. I’m much handsomer than the photos I’ve posted online. And I’ve hired a less attractive stand-in for all my public appearances.
(Hmm. Just for the record, the exact number of Catfish TV episodes is possibly even greater than 216. Perhaps a lot greater. Different sources on the net give different numbers!)
