He and Letty are on thin ice with Sam. It seems to me like the contestants are basically surviving Sam at this stage of the show. Get on his good side and you get special goodies. Get on his bad side and he’ll destroy your reputation forever. You know… I can see why Mauro left.
Jet told them it was fine for them to sabotage everyone else and that they didn't have to only have Vance take care of the baby like Sam said in room 1 later on when they went to check on Jon.
Which lends more credit to Sam having no part of the show beyond funding it and Jet being the head honcho.
 
Nothing I've said is different from other posts these last few pages. The idea was bad (you didn't read the post I replied to or you'd get why) & the execution has been worse. Sam is terrible at this production shit.
What does Sam do besides show up once a day? this entire operation has largely been Jet's baby. Sure, Sam is financing it largely but outside of that and hosting it he hasn't seemed overly involved compared to Jet.
 
Yeah, but they still get bullied. Sam's tweet seems like a blanket ban on TTS aimed at Jon. If Sam tweeted "No more bullying Jon's speech impediment" that's one thing, but where's the line? The Bible? Andrew Tate? If we're going that far for one person, why not the rest? At this point what are we watching? If we're going to make the Fishtank a hugbox where TTS pumps out the 27th "JOSIE I LOVE YOU UWU!" message, why not just go watch any vapid thot on twitch?
I don’t think his tweets are legally binding. I’m sure the moderation will be more nuanced.
 
nah man. This was just Sam flying off the handle. It’s why I don’t keep intense people in my life.
Why because you're scared of somebody finding out you're a groomer and making you look a fool? You realize if he kept simmons on the show he'd get tons of hate and people would think Sam condones that bs. He was totally giving the pedo the respect he deserves, which is none at all. Handled it perfectly.

In that same conversation Jet found out about Sam taking away the baby from Letty and telling Vance he was going to have to do romantic things with Letty. And jets reaction was genuine confusion.
 
A bit disappointed they cut the cameras. I was looking forward to seeing possible late night scheming despite all the shit that happened. I honestly wouldn't put it past Vance or Letty to still scheme after everything because of their reaction to Jon crying in the bathroom was asking if he was ok to Jet and then immediately asking about the baby competition. We're also most likely going to miss out on how Jon is going to confront Vance and Letty about their betrayal if they haven't talked about it already.
Unfortunately, I don't think we will see any decent scheming or sabotaging again. Sam coming out and punishing Letty and Vance for her idea (Not her fault, how tf was she supposed to know you can't do that shit on a competition based torture reality show?) pretty much killed that game instantly. Now no one is going to want to do anything remotely risky (or "unauthorized" as they called it), nor are they going to want to be openly gossipy for fear of Sam's wrath. It didn''t help that every single time the fish did do something creative or competitive in the past, the staff put a stop it.

What REALLY didn't help is that Sam revealed and punished Letty/Vance right after dropping a nuke about Simmons being a pedo and then booting him out. And now Mario is leaving too. That's just more chaos that isn't going to go well to an already stressed out cast who are still trying to process what happened to Simmons. I think people underestimate how hard kicking Simmons out affected everyone that hung out with him and saw him as a nice guy and friend, only to learn today that apparently they were dead wrong about him. This wasn't just sad for Jon, though it did obviously hurt him the most.

There appears to be no real set rules and things change on Sam's whim.
 
I sort of worry that this kind of stuff could ruin fish tank. Sam obviously isn’t above humiliating the contestants for the show (even if he feels a little trolls remorse later). That part is a key component to making a reality TV show. What I wonder if Sam has the stomach for is keeping people in the house when they obviously and expressly want out. I’ve often thought a lot of reality TV shows use their social muscle to pressure contestants to stay on (don’t wanna continue? Oh, well, I guess you’re buying your own ticket back and we won’t actually be reimbursing those expenses we talked about, typical girls do porn techniques, etc). I wonder if Sam has the stomach for that?
 
Maybe there's a reason nobody has tried this concept despite streaming being a mainstream thing for close to 20 years & reality television about 30.
Plenty of genuine reasons but I think the main one is it's a clusterfuck. Big media won't do it because they must control everything to insane degrees.
Streamers/content creators/normies won't do it because it requires a lot of work to get off the ground and too much capital for some literally who.

I've given it some thought and a very dedicated team of tech autists could pull this off from a tech standpoint (good feeds, able to fix things on the fly, etc) but then there's the people management.. you need a big personality and unironically a big guy in most cases to tard wrangle people like this when emotions run high.

Sam's group is in a great spot to do this despite themselves.
 
What is this "they need a break" fag shit I keep seeing? They don't need a break, they need to nut the fuck up and keep their eyes on the prize.

Do the show. You aren't going to die and Sam can't actually poison you. If you're a chink pedophile don't be surprised when you get outed as a chink pedophile. Each contestant is under the age of 30 and most are barely half way into their 20s. They know how this shit works; they grew up with fucking iPads in their hands. Simmons was a weirdo creep and got the boot. Now you need to rest and turn the cameras off? Fuck you; that's Simmons' problem, not yours.

This contestant pool is a bunch of autistic speds, they're not exactly mentally strong. If they go too hard more of them will quit. The prize isn't even that good
 
You know what? Maybe Simmons got off easy. People are so focused on his book that no one will bother pointing out how fucking horrendous his singing tutorials are
Holy FUCK why would you willingly show something like this to the world
I think him and Jon have a similar issue with their autism where they have accepted the idea that in order to succeed in life you need to be confident but neither has the self-awareness to do it effectively. So they end up proudly doing embarrassing things.

How were these being uploaded while he was in the house? I guess he could have made an upload schedule?
