Official KF Fishtank livechat here!

With a (questionable) W from James Drake, how would you rate season 5 of Fishtank?

  • 1 Star — Absolute disaster. Unwatchable, boring, production fucked it up bad, the fish were lame

    Votes: 56 7.3%

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

    Votes: 87 11.4%

  • 3 Stars — Average. Solid entertainment in spots, some good chaos and crashouts, but nothing special

    Votes: 168 22.0%

  • 4 Stars — Really good. Lots of hilarious moments, strong fish personalities, solid content and vibes

    Votes: 405 53.1%

  • 5 Stars — Peak Fishtank / Masterpiece. Non-stop insanity, legendary fish and production, pure chaos

Will the market return next season or have the wiggers learned their lesson that the fish will only give as much of a shit about their gay mechanics as they do (very little)

Something akin to it likely will. Jet has always wanted to add mechanics to Fishtank, what with his gamerbrain. In my opinion the real issue with this is the lack of proper workshopping. They have an idea and then do it without ironing it out so it's always scuffed, which is entertaining on its own to an extent, but then it inevitably falls apart. They need to identify the purpose of the mechanic and then make sure it's doing that or be willing to scrap it. If the purpose of the market is to motivate the fish to do jobs for money that's great, but it doesn't work with how things operate currently and instead of adjusting they just say "fuck it" and the fish have this foggy notion of it's somewhat ok to steal but you also might get in trouble by production and lose money... which isn't very useful anyway... so maybe there will be another punishment on top? It doesn't encourage doing the jobs and hasn't since week 1.

I appreciate that they are willing to try different things but they suck at implementation.
 
Bingobongo is too powerful to have a meaningful final week. They ought to just give them a guaranteed payout to be freeloaders for the rest of the game and let Drake/Bashir/Landon battle it out for the W.

I think they need to make it more like a Table Top RPG and learn to roll with it when things don't go according to plan. Have a loose idea but backup paths for when it doesn't pan out, as it usually doesn't. It seems like, as you said, they come up with an idea, its scuffed, it typically fails, but on top of that, they seem to crumble when things don't go to plan and pout for a few days.

"cutting off" Bashirs hand was the best punishment for stealing, they should do more physically limiting things like that, or have a "jail" room. Kind of trending in that direction the past week by giving people a cop job.

It could even be a literal jail, with bars. Lots of funny potential that way.

I think so, it served a purpose in the early game, same as jobs, it gave structure to the Fish as they adjusted to the House, it kept them busy when production wasn't set up to, it started to ease them into stress and conflict with out turning up the heat too much. And they fazed it out as real money became the motivator.

I think it can be improved, I would start it out exactly the same, but in week 2 start letting the contestants know that the high dollar stuff has mechanics in the show. I don't know if that was the plan with putting stuff like the hitatchi "magic wand" or if they had it there just as a gag. However think they should, have a high dollar immunity charm, have a "dragon wish," or a hotel key to a quiet room where you can lock yourself in with no TTS for 8 hours. Little things that will motivate the Fish.

I actually think of the Market as the first "Task room" and I think they are a great idea. The Xboxes were too much, but I think the computer lab was a good idea and it would of been great had it carried out and we hadn't been spoiled on the giant keyboard. I'm looking forward to the goo lab. I think themed and optional task rooms that expand the house over the course of the show really worked well this season.

They need like a custom built fishtank house that only has tile flooring. No basement, but with several floors so production can be on top.
Only then can Jet overcome his fear over spilled liquids in the tank.

I still think the warehouse plus set is the best plan, but I understand it's probably a lot harder than it seems on paper(zoning, liability on construction, etc). Jet said on the body cam that he'll be living at the house for the rest of the year, which makes me very curious about the set up for renting it. Did they have to do a year long lease? I would think that means there is at least one more season there.

I like the houses changing up every season, I don't ever want them to have a permanent location.

Everyone's trying to pretend that the show hasn't been a total soggy flop. I'm still in disbelief at the faces that returned to watching this demonic drivel.

imo this season has been great but the direction jet and ben wanna take the show objectively sucks and won't survive without a good cast(which they won't attract without Sam's involvement since the sort of person who wants to grift off jet's clout is a complete nigger like Mr. Naked or The Tranny)

every bit they've thought of has failed and we're back to OG fishtank. the jobs failed, the goo failed, the streamer room failed. jet sucks at planning shit and game theory and it shows.
 
Letty is recommending Laura go after the Twins and is acting shocked that she doesn't go after women.... correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Letty mainly target tard men too? Like primarily Jon and Jimmy. I genuinely can't remember her fucking with women in the tank except putting one of Josie's plushys into a toilet.
