Just spent a few days catching up on the newest season of Fishtank, and I got to say, this has been the most entertaining since Season One. The casting the strong, production isn't fumbling the ball multiple times a day, and the pace is just right.
Two things that surprised me:
1. How much negative assets Sam brought to the table. I'm not saying there weren't good and entertaining aspects of his hosting, but on the whole, his need to big dog everyone else from Jet, to the rest of the production, to the contestants; his disruption of others bits and natural flow to force through his "great artiste" visions on the fly, and his explosive rage-fits followed by petulant sulking and disinterest for days on end when people and things didn't go his way really wrecked the show and brought it down for multiple seasons.
2. How good Bam is at hosting. Damn, he really cleaned himself up, didn't he? Sure, he'll never be able to achieve what Sam or his own younger self did in creating pure Kino, but it's nice having someone come at this like a professional, and it's probably keeping the rest of wiggers from falling into their old bad habits.
