Ep 10. Artis & Jess

Artis & Jess are the subject of episode 10 of season 2 of Catfish: The TV Show. The episode includes a shocking discovery about one of the two people in the catfish relationship, which quickly turns the tables.

The episode starts off with Artis telling Nev and Max that he has been in a long-distance relationship with a woman named Jess for the past 10 months. Artis explains that he and Jess met on Facebook and they've been talking every day since then. However, there's one problem. Artis has never actually met Jess in person, and the couple has never video chatted.

Nev and Max are immediately suspicious and approach the situation with a hint of skepticism. They ask Artis for more information about Jess, and he explains that she lives just a few hours away from him in a neighboring state. Artis insists that he trusts Jess and that he has no reason to believe that she is not who she says she is.

Nev and Max decide to do some digging and they quickly find out that Jess doesn't have any social media profiles and there are no pictures of her online. This only increases their suspicions, and they confront Artis about the lack of evidence.

Artis becomes defensive and insists that he is being truthful about his relationship with Jess. He even shows Nev and Max a ring that he has purchased for Jess, as he plans to propose to her when they finally meet in person.

Nev and Max continue to investigate and they eventually find a girl named Tiana who they believe could be the real Jess. Tiana admits to creating the fake profile, but she claims that she did it as a way to get back at Artis for sleeping with her while he was still in a relationship.

This revelation is met with shock and confusion by Artis, who insists that he has never met or slept with Tiana. However, Nev and Max don't believe Artis, and they confront him with evidence that suggests he is lying.

The episode takes a dramatic turn when a woman named Brandi enters the picture. Brandi claims that she is the real Jess and that Tiana is actually the one who has been catfishing Artis all along. Brandi explains that Tiana created the fake profile using her pictures and that she has been playing both Artis and Brandi for months.

This revelation is met with shock and disbelief by Artis and the Catfish team. They quickly reach out to Tiana, who finally admits to the truth.

The episode wraps up with Artis and Jess finally meeting in person, with Nev and Max there to witness the moment. While the episode has its fair share of twists and turns, it ultimately ends with a happy ending for Artis and Jess.
