  • 2 Stars — Pretty bad. Some funny moments, dragged, too many vibe repair days. Barely worth checking.

    Votes: 405 52.9%

I read somewhere once that the true dominant position in a sub/dom BDSM relationship is the sub because the sub has the power to stop everything with a safeword, the scars to show that they were brutalized by the dom, and ultimate control over the boundaries of the dom.

I think part of the reason this season has been so stressful for the production crew is because they're beginning to subconsciously realize how much of their leverage over the fish is an illusion. Sure, they can threaten to kick out any single fish who's boring and/or refuses to commit to bits and challenges, but what happens when all of the fish give up? They can't just kick out all of the fish. Instead the show moves on but only at the pace of the severely disillusioned fish.

The #1 biggest blunder of this season was hiring MDE fans to be contestants. It was certainly not worth the "we're all the plant!?" bit.
That's... disgustingly relevant. Bravo. Rules and challenges mean less and less when it becomes clear that the consequences are arbitrarily based on metrics the fish aren't privy to, e.g. endorsements, social media engagement, narratives etc.
Take initiative! No not like that!
Be entertaining! No not like that!
Antagonize the other contestants! No not like that!
Decide who you think should leave! No not that one!
She removed the retweet, but you could see that she did acknowledge the tweet. Summer's into some weird shit man. Also, you guys know what ace means? Is that the new and hip way of saying asexual?
o7 keep us updated if you can. Also yes, ace is slang for asexual.
The line between being able to tell what things are a bit and what things are production fucking up is so thin. The "it's so over" - "we're so back" cycle continues.

This is so boring.

TTS says Jimmy has a small wiener. Jimmy says it's not tiny and that he was scared it would "pop out" of his boxers today. He says he will get a witness to confirm it's not tiny. TTS trying to get Jimmy to expose himself.

It is getting very close to production becoming the real Fish, we are gonna need a basement cam to complete the transition.

In the early days when fish were dropping like flies each of them could have realized how much leverage they had on production as they got pampered and coerced into staying. Maybe once your mind is set on leaving your not thinking of the game anymore though.
Production has struggled with how they relate to the fish, its way too friendly but also just schizophrenic. Rules don't seem to matter, or maybe they do, or do they? What cudgels do Production have? they going to kick you off? make an example of you? Cole could have been an example to the fish but do they even know? I'm watching and I dont even know for sure if he just left or was kicked off for some infractions.

I don't think the MDE fan aspect is to blame actually. Production is just not prepared. they have no standard for interacting with the fish, no high-level goals, no unified approach to the gaslights.
 
They're all just sitting and talking in bedroom 1. It's boring. TTS is trying to convince Jimmy to show his penis.

People have disagreed with me about this before but that's another major issue; they need to tone it the fuck down with the gaslighting. A little bit of gaslighting is hilarious but they've severely overdone it to the point where the fish are starting to believe they're supposed to always do the opposite of what they're told. It feels like a joke that they ran into the ground.
 
Sam is there. Wants to know why TJ left first, especially when he was actually in the lead points wise. TJ says he had to poop but he's a shy pooper. Ben says it's weird that TJ would let them shave his head but he wouldn't poop. Said this is the most expensive shit TJ ever took.

They ask why Trish quit. Trish said she felt like she was way too far behind in points to catch up, so what's the point in staying. Felt discourage, and felt like favoritism was playing a role which further discouraged her. Also said the army crawl was painful for her due to wearing a skirt.

Tay says the day was hard but she feels proud and worked hard. Says her immune system is probably stronger now since she's been exposed to everything in this room. They ask about her voice (she sounds very horse), said she lost it due to screaming all day. Said the funnest thing was the bobbing for boiling eggs (lol yeah I bet Tay #ED). Sam tells Tay good job. Tay thanks her fans. Sam tells her to take the money and hand it to the basement. She is finally free of this room.

edit: B2 camera is working, in B2 the fish are talking, Jimmy is listening on the wall to hear what Sam and fish are talking about.
 
I love how just blatantly hateful Kanye is towards Trish. Black people really do have a weird pent up resentment towards Asian Americans. Other people in the house drop n bombs multiple times a day but he specifically goes after the Asian. So transparent.

It lends credence to the claim that Black people respect when White people have balls and state their beliefs unapologetically, even if they are racist. He called them "very cultured", lmao
 
Sam and Ben are sitting in on a discussion between Duanye and Trish in B1. Duanye is rambling at Trish, trying to explain why he doesn't like her. His reasons are mostly race-related and make no sense at all. Sam is backing up Duanye but struggling not to laugh.

Edit: Duanye still hasn't shut up. Trish is completely baffled. I didn't find this bit funny at first but it's getting funnier because it just keeps going on and on and she has no idea what he's talking about.

I'm coming around to Tay. She's like a cross between Letty, Betty, and Sylvia. Skinny and down for anything like Letty, edgy with a rough voice like Betty, and has Southern small town white trash vibes like Sylvia.

I’m glad Sam is enjoying Duan ye right now. Shame for the rest of us.
