Ep 1. Craig & Zoe

In the first episode of season 3 of Catfish: The TV Show, we meet Craig and Zoe. Craig is a 27-year-old from Pennsylvania who has been chatting online with Zoe, a 21-year-old from Virginia, for over a year. They met on Instagram and quickly hit it off, chatting constantly and sharing intimate details about their lives.

Craig is head over heels in love with Zoe and has even gone as far as proposing marriage to her online. However, Zoe always seems to have an excuse for why they can't meet in person. She claims to have multiple health problems that prevent her from traveling, and Craig is starting to get suspicious.

Nev and Max step in to help Craig get to the bottom of Zoe's mysterious behavior. They start digging into her online profiles and quickly discover that things aren't quite adding up. Zoe claims to be a freelance makeup artist, but her Instagram doesn't feature any of her work. She also has a habit of deleting her social media accounts and starting new ones, making it difficult to keep track of her.

As Nev and Max delve deeper into the mystery of Zoe's identity, they uncover some shocking information about her past. They discover that she has a history of lying and manipulating people online, and even faked her own death at one point. Craig is devastated to learn the truth and feels like he's been living in a fantasy world.

However, things take an unexpected turn when Zoe finally agrees to meet Craig in person. The Catfish team accompanies Craig to meet Zoe, and they are all shocked when they finally come face to face with her. Zoe looks nothing like her pictures and is actually a man who has been using his sister's photos online.

Craig is heartbroken that he has been lied to for over a year, but the Catfish team is able to help him come to terms with the situation. They encourage him to move on and find someone who will love and respect him for who he is.

Overall, the season 3 premiere of Catfish: The TV Show is a rollercoaster of emotions. From the highs of Craig's online romance with Zoe to the shocking revelation of her true identity, this episode has it all. Nev and Max once again prove their skills as investigators and help Craig find closure in the face of deception.
