I watched some of the show tonight and maybe I'm burned out on it, but found it revolting.
I've never really liked the vomit angle to it.
Having people eat hot peppers, get esophageal spasms, then vomit into sand where Jimmy picks it up people's sick with his bare hands (while the gay black one screeches like a bird) is not something I want to watch.
It was a little better after they put the bag over his head to shut him up, but idk.
I guess the stuff I like is more psychological.
The mind games, the situational humor, the secret 'missions' etc. The silly stupid stuff. The edgy racist jokes.
I'll keep following along but maybe this part of the show just isn't for me.
I am really glad Charleston White is gone though. That's a plus.

- What i'd really like to see is a re-run of Stanley Milgrams 'elecroshock' experiment (where they'd have an 'authority figure ' like Sam, wearing a lab coat, instruct a fish to administer a series of increasing electro shocks to a freeloader in another room to see if they'll 'follow orders', ) Sam keeps telling them "the experiment must continue" if they hesitate, as a series of increasing yelps - then screams - then silence - ring out from the other room.
The twist in the original experiment is the shocks are fake. Or maybe the twist is the fishtank version is the shocks are real!
- Or a re-run of the Stanford prison experiment (divide people into guards and inmates), have the 'inmates' in 'jail' , totally dependent on the 'guards' for all their needs including food, water, cigarettes etc. Run this for a few days and watch shit deteriorate. In the original 1971 version, they had to shut it down because the 'guards' became unimaginably cruel in just a few days.
- Or bringing in a hypnotist to hypnotize the fish and do some gaslighting where some people are pretending to be hypnotized while the others are actually really hypnotized. Do all sorts of fuckery with secret missions where people blame it on hypnosis. Just rip off Darren Brown and add in gaslighting
- Make the fish put on a racist puppet show (or better yet, a racist play with costumes and sets) where each person has to imitate another race using extremely racist accents and stereotypes. Get them to reenact birth of a nation or something.
That's the sort of stuff like that I would like to watch.
