You can follow him on Instagram under<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/romain.benn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@romain.benn<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 28-year-old was playing as himself and oversaw competition from 27-year-old \u00c9l\u00e9a, who finished as the runner-up. Rudy Doukhan made it the furthest out of all the players who were fronting as a Catfish.<\/p>\n<p>Thirty-seven-year-old Ruby played the game with the profile of a 32-year-old father called Gabriel and made it to third place. The other close contenders were Jo\u00e3o in fourth and Edmundo in fifth.<\/p>\n<h3>What was the prize money?<\/h3>\n<p>Romain Ben c0llected \u20ac100,000 in prize money thanks to his victory.<\/p>\n<p>In the original UK Channel 4 series, the show is much more interactive as it is filmed live. The winner is decided during a live final where the public gets to decide who wins through a live vote. However, due to the nature of Netflix&#8217;s filming process, the prize money was allotted via one lump sum and through the votes of the players involved in the game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-wDrAXC1a0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
