JD refuses to answer the question "Why did you have a condom if you have girlfriend?" It has been asked since the incident.
He's said it was "just in his pocket" and he "always keeps them there" nobody is buying it.

although, rather than just being a cheater, I think his gf is a troon, or they have some cucked open relationship, or something is weird. there has to be some reason he's being cagey about all this.

if he just had a normal gf that was a biological woman he was in a monogamous relationship with he'd say so.
 
They weren't speaking in tongues this morning.
Bingo got struck by lightning in her dream. Bongo's dream was traveling in a big canyon with a thousand-feet tall pillars and was angry and they had to cut(?) the pillars and get across the canyon. Emma was in the dream. An old lady was about to fall off the pillar but Bongo saved her, but she was still really angry for some reason (in the confessional she remembered it was because she was getting voted off and they changed their minds after she saved the old lady)
Twins like a youtube channel called Glorp(?) that makes AI raps??

Bongo was holding the cord for a little while so it looked like she was taking her tard for a walk.
JD thinks they put egg in the coffee. Twins think its "a bunch of old stuff" or ranch. Bingo drinks 3 or 4 cups of coffee per day

Twins are naming the fish after Homestuck characters? Kennedy, Ira, animus?
Bingo doesn't care about Stox, both think Landon is the funniest fish. They are working late shift market. They had some idea about using the cord to tie the door shut to control people coming in and out. They're banning JD from the store.

Bing: "Is this Paint?" Bong: "No it's notepad"
Bashir is showing them the schizo manifesto he typed during typing practice, it starts with talk about UFOs, I think its about how aliens are actually Djinn. Bongo asked Bashir if he believes in the Demiurge, he says its heresy. Bingo says the Demiurge is one of her OCs (Terrifying idea). Bongo wants to borrow the book Bashir typed all this from. "But is it.....muslim related?"
Bingo: "I don't believe in gray aliens"
Bongo: "What?! They're real!"
Bashir: "I'm with Bingo"
Doing EnSlave
"How do you make an iron door Bongo?"
"You have to make it door shaped" (I think that helped)

For eliminations, Fishtank works best when they appear genuine to the fish but are able to be heavily influenced by production to keep things moving. Maybe it's fair, maybe it's not, but it lets them continue steering the show while being entertaining.
For example, if a fish is expected to cave and leave on their own then them dodging an elimination doesn't benefit anyone and hurts the show. Vicky being a prime example.

Jet seems to want to honor the competitive aspect more this season so we'll see how well it works. In my opinion, eliminations need to be somewhat controlled so you can weed out people as needed. As with everything, any elimination method will result in some people being unhappy.
 
Ngl I really want one of those BingoBongo-core sweaters they're so cool.

My autism has drawn me to discover it's likely a scrap yarn project where they connected pieces like so:

Me being like Bashir I am a fiber autist so wool would be the only option. This would be expensive.

Speaking of Bashir, he said he would buy Landon whatever he needed if Landon didn't want to do his job. Landon won his dorm acting job.


There's also egg and stuff in the coffee machine.
 
They should just fucking rig it for eliminations
Say they polled the audience then lie about who actually won

This. And I mean they did try to rig it, jet kept talking about how he told bashir about the challenge ending and then bashir did nothing.
So they need to figure out a way to
1. rig it in a retarded fish proof way.
2. not let the fish know they are rigging it.
So how do you do that?

antara has arrived. she asked bashir if he was wearing his footy pajamas (?) maybe that was aimed at landon
landon says hes depressed because he got another cleaning job.
antara is trying to cheer him up (it didnt work)
 
I've made this comparison before but Fishtank fans have a lot in common with wrestling fans in that they have a love/hate relationship with the product. Vince McMahon once said of wrestling fans that they're incredibly fickle and don't actually know what they want until it's given to them. They will often times ask for things and then realize they didn't actually want it the minute they get it. I think all of this also applies to a lot of Fishtank viewers. I've found that this show is best enjoyed either far away from the Fishtank community at large or with a group that views the show the same way you do. It's very easy to have doomers kill your enjoyment.
I like the show best when it''s friend tank through trauma bonding, challenges are nothing more than a spectacle, and eliminations are voluntary.
 
On the voting thing, here's a clip from Season 3 during the RV trip where Sam and Jet reflect on vote-based eliminations. Clip cuts off at the end because Ben changes the subject. Sam is completely against voting because he feels it discourages conflict. During Famous House 2 he said there should be no more voting shortly after Simbal's elimination. Jet disagrees with Sam and explains his reasoning for why he likes voting. This is an example of Sam's positive influence on the show.



I don't want to doom about this season or Jet because I'm enjoying it and have been pleasantly surprised with how he has modified his behavior based on feedback (Ex. How he dealt with Landon vs how he dealt with Jin and Daniel). I just think that sometimes he has bad ideas like voting eliminations and will stubbornly stick by them even after they have been proven to fail each time he has attempted them. Sam is at least somebody with as much if not more authority on the show than Jet and losing him means that we will be subject to Jet's decision making for better or worse. I don't think Mints, Vance, Ben, or Bam are really going to question Jet's ideas or speak up like Sam did in this clip.
 
Fuck I got food and came back to Bongo practicing her typing by writing semi-erotic Sonic Fanfiction.
"Thanks guys. In quotations. Amy Rose's... titties..... were bouncing... up and down... as....she....cheerfully no i already said that one"
"Ready to go?"
"No!! I'm cooking!"
"as she ran over to a... sonic.... Sonic...screamed....but Sonic wasn't...having...that..and spinjumped-or spinballed"
"Spindashed"
"spindashed...out of...her reach. And I think that one would end it...shut up bitch noimjustkidding. The end. Wow what a beautiful story."
 
shortly after Simbal's elimination
Simbal was told multiple times by production over TTS to check the votes and rig it, and was too arrogant to do it. He fucked the FH2 plan up by crashing out on Luke and making himself look like a weird Jeet to the new people. Completely self-inflicted and had nothing to do with the system.

The Simbal incident happened because he and Burt disregarded days of coaching from Sam and Jet on how to approach FH2 and got trapped in a situation where the new house overwhelmingly hated both of them and Luke became the kingmaker in hours upon returning. It's a terrible example and I just assume at this point anyone using it didn't actually watch Season 3.

That's what Sam said, not me nigga. I agree with you. I was just illustrating the fact that Sam already had a problem with voting eliminations before this clip.

Edit: Avoiding tripleposting. I agree with Sam that voting eliminations are stupid. I do not agree that Simbal getting himself eliminated is a good example of why they suck.
