Producers threw a second bag of trash out filled with glass beer bottles after josie finished cleaning the first one, and jon tied it up and fucking threw it down in the basement where the producers are
 
Shark just returned the bag of trash, very loudly, onto the kitchen countertop. Letty is up now.
Dunno what the fuck that was supposed to mean, is this the Day 6 gimmick or something? Trash on the countertop?
 
I'm going to go a little autistic here since I've recapped on the stream but Jet should never show his face to these people post auditions. The least interaction they should have with anyone from the outside is those ninjas, medics, Sam (since he's host) and maybe some low level producer in necessary situations.

I'm comparing this a lot to Big Brother (since it basically is with a lot of autism on both sides) but I want to bring up this wonderful element from Big Brother called the Diary Room or Confession Room. The idea is, you have a secluded room that is sound proof from the outside, there's a chair, a camera, and a microphone with speakers to project a voice relaying whatever the producers are saying. You're alone, there's nobody but you and a camera. In earlier Big Brothers it was a great feature and made the show interesting, but this concept has now been hijacked by modern reality TV shows and producers being forced drama cocksuckers. These are those dumb inject edit moments when someone on the show bitches about what's presently happening, whatever. (Read more here, fuck wikia).

This show NEEDS a diary room. They may all be all friendly and cheerful on live camera, but behind the scenes, away from their "friends" is where the real milk starts coming out. Obviously in Big Brother and other reality shows this is driven by the producer. But since every room is streamed in real time (hopefully still is when the site is live again) this would eliminate careful edits and out of context snippets.

Producer always handsy interaction fucks with everything, you want to keep the illusion for as long as possible. I really hope after the SWATing shit they tone down their interactions.
Well here is where I disagree with you, now with the main website being down and the fact everything is kind of on ice till then, everyone in the house is getting along too well with each other, what makes reality tv good is that producers do motivate contestants to fight with each other usually over money. If they do not create drama you will just get six weeks of boring content and normal interactions.
 
I don't understand the dynamic as is. It's just a camera showing 6 goobers talking about boring, inane bullshit all day long. It only started a handful of days ago so I assume it's going to get better as Sam increases whatever torturous shit he has planned, but as it stands now this is the most boring shit to watch on the internet. If this wasn't spearheaded by Sam, I think most people would disregard it.
Agreed, not the most boring but still 90% trash. A family member (PBUH) used to always watch the big brother live feeds and it would always make me cringe. With hindsight being 20/20 I'd say that it was cringe because it was just clearly a weird parasocial relationship with a "loser" living their life through others but at the time I disliked it because it seemed weird. Unless you are paypigging to fuck with these people via TTS (which is as just pathetic imhlo btw. If they are already writing skits about a jew sissifying a China man what are you going to post to actually triggers them lel) then watching the live feed is cringe af. I think the highlights and the content Sambo will produce with the camera crew is going to contain all of the actual content from this endeavour.

Jet told them yesterday morning that they were looking to ramp down the interaction with them. Sounds like they don't have a toilet downstairs and the portapotties they ordered haven't arrived, yet, so they come up to use the toilet and talk to them a little at the same time.

I'm hoping they get that sorted ASAP and reduce their only interaction with the outside world to Sam Goldstriker and the sharks
 
Josie continues to clean while Jon does.... that

starting to wonder if josie is on adderall

edit: jon is now "helping" clean by using the dirty rag josie used on the floor to clean the countertop that josie already cleaned properly
 
He's started helping! This is the quietest I've ever seen Jon. Is he learning?

Edit: Okay Jon grabbed a pizza box and asked Josie if he should set off the smoke alarm by shoving it in the oven, to get more attention from the show-runners. This guy is a fucking retard.
 
Jon is proposing purposely putting shit in the oven to set off the smoke alarm to "make the viewers happy"

Where I'm mostly getting at is producers shouldn't make forced, unnecessary boring drama which is the norm on every modern reality tv show. I wish I could explain it better but I can't. Maybe I have my nostalgic glasses too wedged on with early 2000's shit when producers were still causing a muck but it was funny. That's what I'm really referring to here, minimal encouragement for maximum hilarity.
 
Josie acting extra tism today, Is she playing it up after she got on her phone and saw how much some of the viewers liked it? Or is she just on adderall or some shit. Jon also seems concerned about being entertaining for the viewers now, not sure how i feel about that.

Jon's complete inability to model how others will react to his behavior will make him eeking and ooking for the audience even better. Regardless, I think a few days without phones will have them getting used to the cameras again and acting a little more natural. Gotta remember they had cops pointing guns at them yesterday, shit is probably still weird feeling.
 
I just started watching this show five seconds ago and I am NOT enjoying it. It was advertised as a so called "Hell House" but I just checked and none of the contestants are eternally damned to a pit of fire, in constant remorse for denying Christ. Another blunder from Sam Hyde.
 
My only issue with Jon is that he, like all other autists, refuses to keep his voice down even a slight bit when he is agitated and the autism takes over. Even if he is jokingly pretending to be upset he will SCREAM at the top of his lung

He's tolerable enough in clips. If I had to be around him IRL, he'd wind up with a pitchfork up his arse within the hour.
 
You weren't around to see it in it's full glory. When the site was up you had control over every camera in the house so you could focus on whoever you wanted to.
I was there to see it in it's full glory. It was essentially Night Trap with real people in real time, which is pretty cool providing shit is actually happening somewhat regularly but nothing happens in this house. It's so boring that people are grasping at straws to make things more than what they are.

I'm not unrealistic about this, you can't have all killer, no filler all the time. This is a pretty cool experiment with media, too. Sure, things will probably ramp up as time goes on you can't expect Sam to throw the works at them a couple of days in, but I'm not gunna pretend this is exciting media, this shit is boring to watch and I'll likely start watching in a couple of weeks.
