Daily reminder that Alex keeps saying he's 26

Alex is the Queen Bee of Season Three. Runs around lying about his age, leads the black schizophrenic man on hoping to secure votes but rages privately with the other girls that if he lays a hand on him that he'll beat Burt's ass. "Oh, I can't tell Burt no! I'll come off as homophobic and be forced to leave the show!" Burt constantly asks for consent, and Alex says it's okay because he's trying to play 4D DEI games to win $50k and a spot in Hollywood but quietly seethes that he has to be near one of "them." The other gays told Burt no and didn't have to leave (for that reason), then Alex has BPD meltdowns when he's in the bottom two for the first elimination and tries to burn the entire house down. No wonder his wife wants to leave him, she sounds like a headcase too but she's seen what he's like when he's not putting his goodboy face on in front of her, I'd be horrified as well.
 
Right now if you go to the official site, you will be greeted by 23 live cameras all playing at once:

At the start of Season 1 they've had this feature until they've realized that they spent 30k in 3 days. Hopefully it's not the case again.

Having them all live is really great. They really should've figured out a way to do this earlier and also make it possible to hear audio when you hover your mouse. It is definitely possible to do on a budget but the crew to make that happen wouldn't be cheap.

I've still heard a lot of people say their website is super unoptimized on desktop computers though. I do like the aesthetic of the OG season 1 website but it was even worse optimized than this one is.

Season one does show this, Letty and Josie where the most interesting, excluding Jon, but he couldn't take the house and was eliminated, which i also said happens to the interesting fish, example season 2, where jimmy was straight up told he was the only interesting one and probably could have won if not for his anger issues. Letty also got locked into the final 2 based off of her driving content. Season 2 just was full of duds other than Cole and Jimmy IMO.

Yeah but you're missing the point of what I was saying. A 4-6 week show is economically viable to do. A 2 week show really isn't unless you have like the 50 biggest livestreamers as contestants.

The wiggers have to rent/buy a house, have to find contestants, do research & development, hire crew, pay for plane tickets, food/drink/consumables and a whole list of shit. If they just have it for 2 weeks they would really need to crank in the income for it to make sense but I don't think it works that well.

Why do you think it's so black and white? They could just run an eventful and tightly planned out 2 week show and then instantly pivot into another cell/bitchtank to recoup costs.

I think Shinji was a great fish until Frank Hassle. After that they pretty much kneecapped him and all of his spirit was gone. Feel like there was a Neptunian ending with Shinji and they chose the dark parallel that hard work doesn't matter in the Goranian TJ victory

This is probably the in-house CCTV or it's economical if it's only a handful pulling all streams at once. You can replicate this yourself using the m3u8 files.
 
Ben is helping Burt put on dog tags because he sent his coach whistle in the care package to Ted to remember him by. It's oddly endearing, like a bizarro Chris Chan, that he always has to have some kind of neck piece for his idealized macho gay man persona.

Alexis has a pitbull that is an "escape artist" and can chew through doors. Hope you got a good nanny to watch your savage dog and small child, Alexis!

Yeah they might be able to, but I don't really think the whole fishtank concept really works on a timescale like that and with the very niche audience this show has. Although this may get some views and tweets on twitter its basically not even a blip when you compare it to bigger streamers. Probably the biggest reason for this is that they have it on their own website and aren't hosting it on YouTube or Twitch or kick.com itself. It means viewership is always going to be lower and people are more resistant to spending money.

That of course doesn't mean that fishtank can't ever become mega successful and get hundreds of thousands of viewers, but it is difficult.

Some seasons I could see it working with but considering the current fish I think they are really turning up the heat to quick. In this season I really think they'd need to draw things out more and the time is necessary, the dancers the election night were major whiplash and stuff like the HL2 sfx is probably hotter than they should be running right now.

He says he got paid $120 to be an extra on Desperate Housewives Season 2 Episode 4, and Outer Banks Season 3 Episode 9, if some brave soul wants to sit through an episode of Desperate Housewives to check.

My curiosity got the better of me after Burt asked computer about this several times last night, and it's an old show so the episode was easy to find free online here.

Could this be Alex observing a fistfight at a swim meet?
