I honestly could see Tay and Shinji as the final two, with Jimmy out at number 3 but throwing his support behind Tay as he left like Brain did to him. Shinji has been the quiet leader for most of the run, having good moments while rarely being the star, but also never hated. Tay has been much more mixed in reception, and not a strong content driver herself, but she's been the strongest female contestant (and probably the most liked if you cut out the simps for Summer and Trish).
As long as I lasted on the first night, half the challenges were design to exclude Jimmy or work against him. At one point Sam clarified he'd be the judge of the sand castles Simpsons so it wasn't a popularity contest. I think they are aware of Jimmy's popularity and are trying to prevent another Cole situation with out alienating Jimmy as hard.
If the rumors about Sam roidraging down in the basement at the current state of the show, and the markyposting, are true I'm not sure they are having much fun at all.
I think Tay and Shinji being the final two would be the equivalent of Vance and Josie being the final two in season one. Boring as fuck with no tension. I doubt Sam would allow it since he made absolutely sure Letty would have a place in the finale due to her content making ability. Tay and Shinji lack that ability unless they are put in very specific conditions or given very explicit orders by production. Even then they sometimes falter.
+50 cents deposited into your JIDF (Jet Internet Defense Force) fund. Thank you for the post and don't forget to buy some mondo megabits and another fishtank season pass, maybe we'll consider making some of the episodes over 20 minutes again.
I can feel Ben's frustration through the clip. He probably got an ear full and now Jimmy is declining. But you have to see it from Jimmy's perspective. He's probably decompressed and feeling relief.
He has become stable once he started getting his medication in proper dosages and at regular intervals, the rage tard psycho shit early on was because he was effectively raw dogging it. The change he has gone over since his medicine routine was stabilized is pretty dramatic, he is pleasant and sociable now, able to handle instruction from Sam or Ben, before he was just schizoing out and would blow any joke or gimmick thing almost immediately.
I don't blame Jimmy at all here. $10,000 or not, when it comes to challenges like The Cell, it's a highly stressful situation, your mind and body are in "survival mode".
That’s a microcosm of the show. They never seem to understand what works and what doesn’t. Brian should never have been eliminated by this point. He’s too competitive and would have shined.
