'Catfish' Premiere: What We Want to See on the Second Season
MTV's hit series Catfish returns tonight to crush the dreams of more hopeless romantics as they discover that their online loves are bored liars. As much as we enjoyed watching Nev and Max's online investigations during the first season, we were still left wanting more. More what? Read on to find out what we hope this season will bring.

Someone Telling the Truth
The first season of Catfish showed a few semi-truthful subjects, but, still, the show has yet to feature a catfisher who was completely upfront about his or her looks and personal life. We'd like to see just one episode this season featuring honest subjects that get a happy ending.
Some Real Research
It can be a little anti-climactic when everything is revealed through a Google search. Maybe we'll have some smarter catfish this season who require some real investigation. Max and Nev would make a great good cop/bad cop duo.
The Story of Nev's Tattoo
Sometimes when we get those early morning shots of a shirtless Nev, we get an added bonus: a peek at Nev's tramp stamp. That's right — the Catfish star has a symbol on his lower back, and we need to know the story behind it. Even if we have to zoom in really close to hear it. (Please?)
Max and Nev Finally Give In
Some of TV's best "will they/won't they" tension can be found on Catfish — who doesn't want to see host Nev and his friend who holds a pointless camera, Max, get down and dirty? The two clearly love each other, and all that time spent alone in hotel rooms has to be building the sexual tension. Hopefully this season their bromance will turn into a full-fledged romance.
An Urban Catfish
Each week, we watched Nev and Max board a flight and then drive through tiny towns to some outlying field where the catfish of the week resides. Usually, even the house is isolated from any signs of surrounding civilization. Maybe this season will change things up and we'll have an online suitor living in an apartment in the middle of a huge, bustling city. At least then the two guys could get in some sightseeing.
Nev Gets Waxed
Sorry Nev, but when you wear those deep V's, that chest hair is too much. So please, Max, hold Nev's hand while he gets his chest waxed.
Whatever Is Happening Here
MTV released this photo and we need to know the context ASAP. If Catfish Season 2 has Nev and Max in a parade, that's good enough for us.
