if they dont take cigs away soon it will be pretty pointless, with what 4 days left.

it sucks to see all the ideas they did not follow through with this season
outside of like clothes and pong what 70's shit did they do?
clearly sam felt bad about doing the cult shit, and i think everyone bailing fucked that up.
the chips where basically pointless ,rent ,etc...

we keep bagging on them about a lack of planning but they need to plan some of this shit. fucking divine intellect my ass this shit is niggerlicious

Why is tj painting the floor?

There is no reason, he's bored and TTS kept telling him to paint something meaningful to himself that is an expression of love.

The crew has cleared the living room of furniture and are now putting piles of dirt and spreading it all over the floor. They're also building something, but I can't tell what; a pool? Playground equipment? Edit: Looks like it's a volleyball net.

Another production fail, since they clearly didn't plan or test this activity, they didn't realize the volleyball net set up is way too big for the living room, so now they're trying to rig it smaller.

Now I'm trying not to be a Negative Nancy but this feels like the camping arc all over again lol

It would be better if they took advantage of all the dirty on the ground and had mud wrestling tbh.

Shinji and TJ are talking privately about how to sabotage Tay. Both admit dumping stuff on her and breaking her shit won't do anything. The best they can come up with is sabotaging her during competitions.

Jet said early in the season that Sam thought up a really great storyline to this season and he was excited to see it play out. It was obviously abandoned.

70s Theme - Two reasons why they chose this and abandoned it could be:
1. Oh this is like a 70s house we should do a 70s theme (crew being retarded)
2. It went in line with Sam's idea of a Cult theme for the season.
I really enjoyed the first few days with the strange colorful house and the 70s clothes, it felt like something new. Then there was nothing else to it and it just went away.
The Judge - The Judge as a character was an attack-therapy using Cult Leader. I think the Louisiana stuff was just flavor. His character got lost when the initiative group was abandoned. Now he is just an eccentric Southern guy who runs the show, or he's just Sam Hyde.
Initiative Group - Sam said he abandoned the idea because it was too dark/negative/mean/etc. I thought it was a great idea and worked really well. Jimmy getting an induction and then completely botching it was funny. Brian betraying Jimmy (and in his mind getting him kicked) to join the group led to one of the real dramatic moments of the season. TJ's induction and betrayal of Taylor was also a huge moment for the show. They're always talking about wanting character growth and the initiative group was the closest they've gotten to making that happen.

I never really got the idea that the attack therapy and cult stuff wasn't playing. If Sam truly abandoned the idea because it was "too negative", that is a real shame.

The show IMMEDIATELY took an upswing the very next day Brian left, it is not a coincidence

I believe it was more coincidence than anything. When Brian got eliminated the fish like Tay were beginning to lose her mind over Nifty and started trying to fuck with her only to get stepped on by production several times. The Cell frustrated Danye and Trish into arguing nonstop and then Britney came in, so Trish and her wombo-comboed Jimmy into his rage which got him eliminated, and then you got the followup Taymaker the next day. It was more people hitting their tolerance limits, people don't just mess with people they live with unless they get REALLY frustrated, usually its a policy of ignoring the issues or avoiding it. After all of the inter-fish beef started settling down Frank came in and they all tried dogpiling Tay which failed since she would immediately fight back in turn. After Frank left the pecking order was more or less decided and its become abundantly clear that Tay is basicaly the alpha of the house and the rest of the fish fear her. I don't know how Brian could have stopped Jimmy's tard rages or Danye getting pissed at Trish and yelling all day, there wouldn't be any way for him to mediate Danye,and I doubt Danye would even ALLOW such things to happen since he understood the mechanics of a reality TV show better than Jet and Ben.

The upswing and downswings in the show is largely due to production just trying to improv EVERYTHING, the show is at its best when they have structured events with clear-cut goals. Even The Cell ended up having the appearance of being improv'd and most viewers were busy watching Trish and Danye fight instead of Tay and Shinji sit around waiting for the next event for 2 hours or more, at one point Tay and Shinji just stopped while talking and said "Jesus christ are they still fighting?" while waiting for the next event. Given that Sam and Ben had to seriously discuss trivial things like "maybe next season we should ensure they have food the whole time instead of just grits, they got really low energy for a time" shows that this show is run by inept people who do not understand basic human psychology.

One of the major issues in this show is the boredom aspect. Between last night and the morning you had Tay stay up until roughly 6-7am just chatting with Danye and sealing Fatty in the gooncave until his Uber arrived. She goes to sleep and immediately gets woken up by fatty who she tells to fuck off, then goes to sleep again for a few more hours only to be forcibly awoken at noon and made to eat a pepper for not waking up early enough. Ben leaves and then its just been NOTHING, absolutely jack shit happening, Tay kept attacking Chris all morning by throwing stuff on him, but otherwise for the rest of the fish its been absolute dead air that appears like its going to continue until 6-8pm when Sam arrives. What is the point in keeping the fish sleep deprived if you plan on doing nothing? The other fish started getting so agitated from boredom they were attacking the living room walls and smashing it for 30-45 minutes until Vance asked them to stop. Oliver is openly shit talking the show and Jet since he has had nothing to do for basically 2 days, only having Greg or Fatty as an conversation partner. Production keeps fucking up and the scapegoat has always been "the cast is weak" but I find its the other way around.

I wonder how would the cult stuff be considered too "negative" when the rest of the show has been an glorified internet frat house with them tossing crickets, eggs and powder at eachother. We will probably never know since it was ditched but that style could of been kept throughout the season without the cult edition. Like really just a huge waste of not only build up but also cool looking house. But man the edited videos could of been so cool if they did it in an old grindhouse look.

Sam always proves himself to be a big softie- I think it mostly got dropped for Jimmy's sake tbh, as it started going away around the time he started cracking (which was also the crew's fault, but regardless) and they probably figured invoking the PTSD of someone who was in a cult-adjacent traumatic event as a child that was already unstable was a mess waiting to happen. Beyond that, attack therapy sounds funny, on paper, but once he has his fishies, there's no way he'd let that happen- he loves those little guys, and that's just a really miserable and awful experience, Fishtank can be, but usually the line of "you're being fucked with for the content" is more clear than just outright turning a bunch of tards into a pack of tormenters who crush the weakest link to tears.

I think it was less Jimmy related and more that the fish were openly getting mutinous and ignoring Ben or giving half-assed answers when he did the final attack therapy thing. Ben was going from person to person and they just gave half-hearted responses just to entertain him or just went on the attack like Danye who called him a dysgenic balding mutt who had bad genes.

Sam is really sensitive to stuff with regards to Satanism, MKULTRA, etc, so I could see the "cult" theme being too weird for his liking, a few other people don't care for it either. I dunno, last season didn't have any 70's cult theme or attack therapy and it worked out just fine. I do like the idea of an "Initiative Group" and conscripting contestants into teams, but you don't need to remake the Manson Family for that.

the whole thing soured when we heard Summer being given the goofballs in the basement
have the wiggers never heard of soundproofing? shaking my smh

Hey Sam and Jet, here's a tip for season 3: maybe try not assaulting and raping your contestants while they're passed out in the basement. It might seem crazy but it's worth a try.

 

[eatler]

It would be better if they took advantage of all the dirty on the ground and had mud wrestling tbh.

trish isnt competing anymore so idk if anyone would pay to watch that. but id be happy to be proven wrong because anythings better than nothing

They could of used chris' "tallents (name)" and had the "airsoft fatty shooting range" and had the contestans compete to see who would be best tradwife and who gets conscripted into the "future civil war". goldstriker being in a civil war would be funny.

idk if everyone forgot about these tweets but this is probably why sam gave up on the cult arc

Thats funny because like everyone ran with it someone even made a video about the weird symbol in the attic being something about luck being randomized. It would totally be against what sam usually bitches about in movies and design wasting space and not looking into things, ect. Even your most blow off type product you should still put a small amount of effort but I could believe anything at this point. but thanks for showing that because twitter sucks and I refuse to use it.

 

[popnloch ness monster]

Greg shit talking Bex's hair not knowing she's right behind him, bless him

 

[eatler]

They should throw chris on the beach set. He will play the part of a beached wale, the round will be over when he explodes (rips out a large ass blast).

 

[UnLimiTed-Lbs]

This is obviously late but I managed to clip Tay's reaction from last night. Tay has an Onion Farms account so its clear she's aware of what the KiwiFarms is.

TJ was saying he had a sharp pain in his ribs and was taken downstairs. The fish counter went down to 2/10. It might be a gaslight or he's actually out.

 

[Blackstar]

TJ is gone, he was complaining about a pain in his ribs and was taken to the basement, now the site shows him as eliminated.
