What a way to communicate "stay the fuck away from me".
but what about that "i can fix her" meme? also how the fuck is a zoomer woman not constantly getting dick thrown at her by everyone no matter how "nutty" she is. she's thin and white and you can hide the scars with long sleeve shirts which makes you even more attractive to certain weirdos.
and when they're down to 3 contestants they can't ignore her anymore.
yes you can. its no less stupid than that montage idea. Like i said, they should have had a funny narrator. Specifically for stuff like this, have Josie be a hidden contestant throughout the season. Also this is a big reason why reality shows will reshoot scenes. Could easily re do the ending just using Sam and have it be like Josie literally came out of nowhere to be Letty's final challange. Hell Letty would probably be up for reshooting some stuff for the "season" as well. I know Jet's a fucking idiot but this has been common to reality shows from the start. Even if its a spontaous moment they'll have people re do actions if they want to get the action from a different angle. Thats a big reason you don't see the camera people constantly in shows even when it looks like they should be in a shot if they truely had all these camera people all over all the time. For Fucks sake they could have even given Letty and the rest of the cast or crew talking heads to really move the shit along.
A great example of this is The Joe Schmoe Show where its clear they're cutting a lot of shit but they hide it sort of well with the talking heads and narrator. Just in general the cable reality shows would do this shit constantly because they didn't have the money or the time to shoot everything as well as they should. In fact shame on Jet for being such a stupid zoomer. The Joe Schmoe show was straight up the Gen X version of fishtank. It had the same "hell house" premise it had a fakeout ending, it had a protagonist that was tortured the fuck out of but audiences ended up loving by the end, it even had the freeloader bullshit and quite a few similar challenges. Including their own version of Striker!
I know its more because its such an obvious idea than an outright rip off but especially if you're editing a show like this for the love of fucking god please learn how reality shows work. as others have said, Jet should have been editing this fucking thing since the show ended or while it was going on. he didn't make notes or think about the "narrative" of the show. even the length went from 20 minutes (for the first fucking episode!) to 90 minutes now. its garbage.
They've had difficulty finding contestants because of it being during Christmas season
who would have thought? /sneed This is literally a big reason why reality tv shows don't shoot over christmas. especially because its not just the contestants, you also are fucking over the crew doing this. the only two times survivor finished filming after december 10th are considered the worst seasons by both the cast, crew, and viewers. Something in humans really gets shitty around the christmas season and makes everyone fucking miserable. Having only the saddest losers on the planet who would in fact prefer living in a "hell house" vs being with friends and family is going to make this season fucking awful, you really think a Josie or Letty or Jon would not want to be around family during christmas?. I bet the crew isn't going to be happy campers about it either. So if you think you've seen some lazy, shitty crew on fishtank. Get ready for 3 weeks from now. I bet the crew won't even be doing any challanges during dec 22-26 and they'll be maybe 2 crew actually inside the house with the cast that entire time. meaning its a waste of everyones fucking time.
Literally Start it January 2nd. I'll even give you a great opening for the fucking show/a promo: have all your contestants do a talking head where they talk about their New Year's resolution, have auld lang syne in the background and then have a narrator or Sam facing the camera say "be careful what you wish for" with the song from officer maggot intro or some other similar song in the background with a montage of the craziest stuff from season 1 like punching the walls and the yelling and chaos and cut to the titles. "Fish Tank Season 2!
Coming This winter on Fox! Streaming now!" also the two could be II and have two planes crash into them to really hammer in the fact that this promo is straight from the best marketing executive of 2002. You could pin that stupid promo to the youtube channel and the other social media accounts so on the offchance people click on one of Jet's annoying fucking tweets they might catch that FishTank is going on right now.
