I miss Catfish! Can’t wait for it to come back!

Always spoke on the phone & got at least 3 pics from anybody I planned to meet (& I met quite a few). Been married 15 yrs now & I know how hard it is for people out there looking for love.
My husband and I love this show and we are retired. We met in 1995,before there was a Aol
On prodigy. We have been married 21 years. My X got Catfish, I actually felt bad for him
We love Max andNev. Those guys are the best
Please don’t cancel this show!!!!
