American Idol

This extremely popular television show first aired in 2001. It has a straightforward premise. They held auditions all over the country until they found the right person to be crowned American Idol. The vast majority of the millions of hopefuls have no chance. According to reports, scouts were already on the lookout for the most talented singers before the auditions.

On this hit show by MTV, hosts Max and Nev attempt to figure out the puzzle of “who is really behind these profiles.” Catfishing may seem bizarre to you, but it is a common practice among many people. However, this does not imply that what you see on the show is accurate. It’s been said that the producers actually reverse the application process. Catfishers were required to apply for a spot on the show.
