First off I'm a HUGE fan of catfish, its one of the only "reality" shows that's actually real and down to earth. This show had huge potential to life up to that, the whole episode is great, I love the investigations and the drama and I got so deep into it! Then the ending comes, the "confrontation" and they turn the whole thing into a freakin joke! They bring the 2 people in and sit them on uncomfortable stools in the middle of an empty room, the hosts sit behind monitors watching, then come over loud speakers saying basically "you guys can talk, and then at the end you need to decide whether or not you want to be friends, or GHOST!" Like some dumb game show, it's SOOOOOOO BAD! And it's such a shame because the rest of the show was entertaining, suspenseful and pretty awesome.
Such a let down man......all they need to do is change the ending! Just let them all sit together on a couch in someone's living room or a cafe with the hosts and let them talk it out.
Please fix this trainwreck ending.

Onslaught of Unjustified hate
kdaunais21 November 2019
Is it mtv's next big hit... no. Is it as bad as all these reviews say... not at all.
This show is exactly what you expect an mtv reality show to be, yes it's scripted, but really no more than any other reality show.
And at times it is a bit ridiculous, but Would it really be an mtv show if it wasn't? I mean we are talking about a network that has featured absolute chaotic and over the top classics like jersey shore, my sweet 16, parental control, silent library, 16 and pregnant, ag TILA TEQUILA DATING SHOW... etc...
So here's your sensible review, it's a true mtv show, that is honestly entertaining enough to stay in their lineup

Glorified harassment and stalking
shivum777-774-5823646 March 2021
This show is insanely invasive and needs to be taken off the air. It's entire premise is simply glorified stalking and harassment of persons that simply want to be left alone. No one on this show should ever have a job after this absolutely irresponsible excuse for reality TV
Most ridiculous thing I've ever seen on TV....

Better than I thought

So, most often I thought to myself "Why do people ghost?" and I thought this was going to be like Catfish where someone ghosts in virtual realtiy, but according to the show it's IRL
I know people change and have different paths in life but ghosting IRL is just messed up. Sometimes I wonder how many of them are real and who are actors. One of them had to be real or she was just a hell of an actress. Another had a valid reason for ghosting but it was messed up that she just dropped off the radar like that.
I feel that making them determine whether they want to make up or ghost, is a little much because it makes it seem like a game show. It's supposed to be real but I also think it should be something that should happen naturally, not via text
In all, I like the show, and wonder if there will be a Season 3.

Ending to haunt all reality shows forevermore
ryantheredman17 September 2020
TBH how badly the end was butchered was a civil crime. (at times I wondered how they were not charged with stalking) To give a big consistent "shock" factor when a commercial break was needed felt fake. (OK Bob we need you to say the phrase, "I ghosted you because..." You got that Bob? We'll have to do it all over again so don't screw up Bob). All in all kids, don't try to copy the god tier show catfish with some dude who only knows how to use auto tune, and knows nothing about mitigating interaction between humans.
All these bad reviews,great show 👏

Catfish for ghosters.
vision-quest12 September 2019
The first half (or so) of the show was similar to Catfish (maybe a little too similar). The second half (or so) of the show was ludicrous! I was completely confused as to what they were trying to do. Was it supposed to be a reality show or a game show? Maybe a (fake) reality game show?
Either way, this was a complete miss. Whoever came up with this needs to be slapped.

The world is now dumber for this monstrosity
detteamsrock22 August 2019
If I found a magic lamp and was granted 3 wishes, the first would be for that hour of my life back, the second would be that I never have to sit through another episode of that garbage, and lastly would be that no one associated with this show ever gets to work again
You should be able to rate something a zero
greenbayrios22 August 2019
I understand the all "reality" shows are 95% scripted and staged but there is that tiny 5% that's real...which I enjoy....I called what was going to happen at the end of this show that I was forced to record as a part of Catfish with in the first 5 minutes and said if that is what happens I know it's fake...I was right..I'm convinced some of these friends and spouses didn't even really know each other...this show isn't only 100% fake it's 110% fake because of how obvious and over the top it is.
Hopelessly Unethical Show
jenniferstacey19 September 2021
I genuinely hope this show is at least partially faked like others are saying, but that doesn't make up for the fact the "ghosted" people tend to be toxic, manipulating stalkers who only use the show to harass their ex again, this time publicly.
The hosts are more than happy to pressure and shame the "ghosters" into regretting their decision to cut a horrible person out of their lives. They both come off like parasites who are thrilled when anyone shows a hint of emotion, or very likely, signs of trauma. Kill this show, please.

Ghost this tv show
ekilvington24 July 2020
Look I'm not going to lie - I did just make an IMDb account specifically to write this review. While initially feeling interested in the concept of the TV show after watching a trailer and reading about it, within maybe four minutes of watching this show I felt physically ill. the host Travis is SO painful to watch and Is such an unlikeable and unfriendly person. His presence on my screen actually gave me a headache - the world would be better off without this incredibly poorly executed tv show. I feel sorry for anyone forced to watch this show that is not only unbelievable but is also so unintelligent and celebrates completely immoral ethics and behaviour. While the world of ghosting is something that definitely should be highlighted and explored as a major issue of communication in the 21st century and the age of the Internet, this was more of a survey on stalking and the invasive nature on culture than it was on addressing 'ghosting' as they traumatised anyone involved in the stories they wanted to investigate.
Love your show!!!

wow so bad and evil
dwmuller-723444 September 2022
Tried to watch one episode after seeing a video about it and literally every episode is just helping a stalker/abuser hunt down someone they stalked/abused. Feels illegal and immoral to watch. People they're helping will admit to it even! So gross, and the message is usually "you're bad for ghosting them", even if the person was manipulative and abusive. So dumb and mtv should feel bad. On top of that, they have negative stereotypes of people, especially women and bisexual people. I think they're trying to capture what catfish has, but the hosts are a quarter as charming and are harming people instead of helping them. Ugh.
Terrible
dancondon-874478 November 2020
This show is so overproduced it's embarrassing. I honestly do not understand how anybody could enjoy it. The "guests" are always unlikeable and the hosts are beyond annoying. Do not even bother wasting your time with this nonsense.
Ghost BUSTED!

This is trash
dhqellie12 June 2023
I literally made an account because this show is so bad it needed a review. What is with the bad studio face off? This show wants to be Catfish so hard but it falls short in every way. The first episode had me questioning why they spent money so two hosts could randomly drive around between a few phone calls trying to look like they were doing some serious investigative journalism. The hosts are boring and I think need to respect when people cut others out of their life. That isn't a sign to air dirty laundry on TV.
Don't waste your time with this one. You will be so disappointed. MTV do better.
