I doubt this is the end of fishtank. There will likely be a season 3, but I can easily foresee a slightly longer break between seasons. They will likely need to address some of the problems with the house/neighborhood/town as well as let the paypig pockets refill.

One thing people tend to forget about living in neighborhoods like the fishtank house is that you sometimes get stuck having to play politics with the people beside you over really stupid shit. However, on the positive side, it looks like the township is fairly large. Meaning individual neighbors often have less ability to get things done.
 
IMO they took advantage of his desperation for money and his mental illness to get him to go psychotic and attack a freeloader who jumped around and celebrated after he attacked her
Couldn't you say quite literally the same thing about Fatty during season 1 who is way more mentally ill then Jimmy?

they have nothing to worry about this season. all the town can do immediately is whine. bureaucracy moves at a snails pace and the show will be over in a couple weeks

Fatty's more autistic but I don't think he's anywhere near as disordered. Jimmy had delusions and paranoias and is prone to completely losing control and going violent, Fatty was mostly just dumb, he lost it occasionally but he clearly had actual restraint. It seemed much easier for Fatty to calm down than for Jimmy to.

The main thing is it seemed like they wanted him to go out that way. They could've pulled him when he started throwing broken glass or when he headbutted taylor or they could've had him do some kind of guys-only workout challenge and lose to the boys or whatever. Now he's just been made into the Simmons of the season because he couldn't quit at any cost even as his mental health was clearly spiraling.

It was so cringe that I thought Ben must be playing a character - an insecure middle aged loser with no confidence trying to impress some girls with 'tales from the playground.'

But now I think he was serious.
i was thinking the exact same thing lmao. ive always had this crackpot theory that all of the wiggers are completely sincere in their faggotry and sam believes that theyre doing it ironically as a joke, neither party realizing that theyre not on the same wavelength.
 
ben was kind of teeing off on TJs head and very obviously trying really hard. sam was pretty restrained and only really connected with that nasty jab, he mostly threw body shots. idk but this felt weirdly petty. this reminds me a lot of ben wrestling delaney and going all out. i thought ben going all out on a girl was some sort of joke but maybe hes just an insecure fag that feels the need to prove himself against women and novices.
You ever been in a fight? You don't hold back unless you KNOW you're going to win by a lot. Sam is a heavyweight and also moderately experienced, Ben doesn't have anywhere near that level of advantage.

What, you think he should risk letting some sperg knock out a tooth or fuck up his eye for a week because he wants to "give him a chance"? It's like gambling: you don't bet what you can't afford to lose, if these autists want to swing on someone they shouldn't be expecting it to be easy.

nigger how retarded are you? that was not a real fight, they are not friends, they are not sparring partners, they are not at a boxing gym, they are not drunk at a bar. they are on a game show that ben is a producer of and tj is a contestant on. if ben wasnt confident in his ability to beat a complete novice while showing restraint then he shouldve told TJ it was body shots only like a normal person does with an novice.

yes i have sparred before.

That wasn't a fight... it was a silly beef. If Ben was worried about getting clocked he would have worn headgear. Ben and Jet made it malicious instead of goofy.
 
I hope not and I don't exactly know where you get the idea that he's competent, he's barely done anything and the few bits he's been involved with were painfully unfunny. I like Ben a lot and he has a better idea of what's funny but he's not as in control as Sam is. Reality is that we don't know exactly how stuff behind the scenes work, only small glimpses, but it is pretty clear that by how Jet tries to control and talk to the fish and what he tweets that he really doesn't know what he's doing and has a vision of how things should work that clash with Sam and most viewers.
I think he's competent mainly because he doesn't trip himself over like Jet does with his attempts to insert himself in the show. Granted he's not much more than a cameraman compared to Ben, but he's maintained the fish-production barrier better than the others have.
 
Fatty was mostly just dumb, he lost it occasionally but he clearly had actual restraint. It seemed much easier for Fatty to calm down than for Jimmy to.
My nigga he literally spat in the face of letty while screaming at her and charging at her. He was just as unhinged as Jimmy was it's just his morbid obesity made it harder for him to attack people.
 
who the fuck cares he beat the shit out of the guy in a match. boo hoo maybe he beat the shit out of him too much maybe not does it really matter it changed litteritally nothing.
 
Considering how much of a shitshow S2 has been I wouldn't be surprised if they stop entirely after this season.
It's clear that there was some early concept for the show with the 70s theme and the karate sessions but that got thrown out the window with all the early departures. Now it's just aimless with some intermittent monetary challenges.
It also doesn't help that the remaining contestants are not interesting and or likeable.

There will be a Season 3, but if Sam doesn't get someone to run the show above Jet, there won't be a Season 4.

The casting this season is just so fucking bad, man.

Like I couldn't help but enjoy watching Jimmy because everyone else was so fucking quiet. It's apparent now when the fish have been playing go fish for the last half hour and are now watching Shinji play pong in total silence.

I knew the whole time he was going to fucking blow up and go out suddenly. I just hoped they'd have the decency to kick him out in a way that let him go home clean.

Instead, I do sort of agree with Jimmy here, they constantly fucking rode him with production TTSes and countered every positive TTS to him with a negative prod TTS and messed with him everyday while Trish, Tayleigh, and Shinji kicked back. IMO they took advantage of his desperation for money and his mental illness to get him to go psychotic and attack a freeloader who jumped around and celebrated after he attacked her.

Obviously, he shouldn't have done that. But it feels like tackling a dog with known behavioral problems in order to have a reason to euthanize it.

Do I think he could have won it? No. But I'm fucking sick of watching production complain about the cast "dogpiling" people and then dogpiling one contestant themselves. Letty was clearly an outlier - there's just no way they'll ever find someone who is both very interesting and very resilient like that.

Like, it would've been better if Jimmy hadn't been cast at all and they found some other retard who wouldn't go psycho, but really it would've been better if the entire fucking cast was not these people. I don't know why every time they have someone interesting they need to just ream the fuck out of them until they clam up or quit.

Even as I clung to the life raft of Jimmy, I never thought he was going to be a winner. I thought they'd have to try to delicate balance pushing and coddling him to get him to the final three, and have Tay and Shinji as the final 2. They did the exact opposite of that and pushed him to the point he fucking broke.

Not have a fist fight with the contestants of your show. Sam was obviously going super easy on TJ, because he was trying to give him a moment to shine, let TJ stand up for himself, and as soon as it went a little too far down TJ taking a real blow, Sam ended it, and celebrated him. It was much more of a bit than an actual fight. Sam also said no more ringing Beef on production, it from the top down looks super shitty on Ben and I consider him as bad as Jet.

In terms of the house, filming this show in a neighborhood is a retarded idea. I sure they are planning on buying a house each season, remodeling afterwards, and flipping it for profit using the shows resources for capital. I said last season that they should just buy a warehouse and build a set house inside it. Doesn't need to be a full house, just a framed compound with finishing just on the inside. Much better control, especially if they can some keep it secret they aren't in a real house, and eventually have a reveal when someone kicks their way through.

Shit my bad, it wasn't a fight, which is why they were throwing punches at each other. 🤔

He should have sat there while an overgrown child punched him repeatedly. Stop pretending to be naive, the local retard challenges you to a fight you're not just going to take punch after punch. Why should any of the staff? Sam has 100 pounds on all these guys, he couldn't get hurt if he tried, I don't doubt for a second that a few good shots could fuck Ben up.

boxing etiquette reveals a lot about a persons character. all im saying is ben is likely an insecure faggot deep down.
 
Does anyone know what has Tai said about production yesterday? All the clips are barely understandable. I only caught him calling Jet a baby.
Not sure either myself, I think it was mainly him saying how the show's energy is gone since Jimmy left. That was probably enough to annoy Jet though.

He stopped though. Both times Jimmy got into an altercation he didn't stop. I think there's a huge difference in that. Fatty had the mental guardrail knowing he can't make contact with Letty but Jimmy completely lost control and went delusional saying it was self-defense. Fatty at least knew what he was doing, where he was and why.

Speaking of Fatty, I pulled this off of twitter a while back, and found myself listening to it in the dead silence just now. Bums me the fuck out, man. I thought when Fatty joined they might sing together. It just sucks shit they had to kick him off in a way they knew would assassinate his character. I really doubt his normal personality can be judged based on the state he was in in the tank. He deserved to go out in a way where he could come back as a freeloader or come visit the office or whatever.

KF video upload not workin so I"ll gofile it i guess.
