Jet sitting here explaining stuff about "keeping the viewer in mind" about not whispering so low the camera's can't hear them and stuff. Things that should've been explained day 1.

Honestly, their should be sharks and their should be the catfish. The catfish keep the fish from sleeping all day or secluding themselves too much. The sharks should be non-personalities and the catfish are antagonistic forces.
They're too scared of contestants leaving. They might have more confidence in a season 2, especially if the prize is bigger. They should really be looking at actual reality tv shows more. Also, I was originally dismissive of crew meddling but I think it's paying off a bit with Ben and even the Nick stuff. I do think the Sharks are underutilized, though i'm willing to bet it's partially because the crew are too lazy to get into costume half the time.
 
For anyone who missed it last night:

Jet basically apologized for yesterday being shit. It was refreshing to see such honesty. He even gave Jon a public talking to knocking him down a peg.

After that we got the best 90 minutes of the day. There was a hilarious debate followed by non-stop scheming. The group turned against letty. Vance is working both sides. Letty turned on vance immediately and ran to Jon. Sylvia showed her self to be a pathetic bitch.

Barring Sam fucking it up I think today will be a lot better than yesterday.
 
I feel like they need to watch some Nip Game shows. Those tend to be heavy on the suffering and tormenting of their contestants.

Shit like the challenge of the day is ignoring a shark who’s job it is to be a dick, but with the prize being something actually good so they want to put up with someone slapping food out of their hands, throwing shaving cream pies at contestants who are sleeping, or blowing an airhorn at 11 AM.

Honestly, their should be sharks and their should be the catfish. The catfish keep the fish from sleeping all day or secluding themselves too much. The sharks should be non-personalities and the catfish are antagonistic forces.
They really should have lean into the fishtoys more and let them only live off from those, like that one Japanese show where they forced some guy into an apartment while only letting him live off on prizes from magazines.

I am honestly kind of jealous that they can sleep till fucking noon. I tried to sleep in today until 6am, did not work.
I’m not looking forward to the frank hassle arc, but I am excited to see what today brings.

As always, thank you to the fine folks who update the thread with happenings. Godspeed you crazy bastards.
 
Jet is really rallying against strategy snitching right now. Driving it the fuck home. My guess is that he saw strategy talk and interpersonal drama had them sky rocket to 14k views at 1am. While the retard hour tanked the stream to 4.9k at 6:30pm. This gives me hope Jet is learning.
Jet and Sam should come up with challenges that complement the strategizing. Fuck with those secret alliances, force two antagonistic contestants to work together on something that will hurt them both if they fail, test those little interpersonal relations that develop and see who breaks first.

Problem is, most of these contestants are too dull and introverted (Sylvia, Vance, Josie) whereas Jon and Letty are far more proactive. Damiel can be antagonistic but he doesn't have the social skills to network and manipulate.
 
I feel like they need to issue challenges that are just quality of life stuff. A fish Buck reward is not incentive enough because you need to gratify the victory immediately.

Win the retard challenge? You can choose to get take out, a new movie (the first Stewart Little, a movie for literal toddlers, and something actually good but it should be a poison prize so they don’t get it and chat has to do TTS), or one of those Japanese gameshow punishment prizes (another contestant of your choosing suffers).

Another way is you give a privilege to a certain fish, like Josie wind the challenge so here’s a PS1 with two games, but it’s for Josie. The minute any fish plays with it outside of the presence of Josie a shark destroys it.
Offer them "the greatest film of M. Night Shyamalans filmography" as a reward for the challenge. Stewart Little.
What a tweest.
 
Lipstick on a pig. Says she's going for a "normal makeup look" today.

If there is a season 2, I would like to see no one voted out and the challenges just be how the fish individually can increase their prize pool if they win and get some quality of life rewards or punishments. 6 weeks of maximum drama and chaos with a full house seems a lot more fun than however this season will turn out when there's like 3 people left.
 
L0TAN made a video about yesterday and is getting called out for his various mistakes. This dude is an awful Metokur replacement. What's the point of people going to his video for a recap when they know more than he does?
 
Vance, Damiel, and Jon are counter-scheming Letty's scheming. If last night's Jon/Letty scheming was True & Honest, Vance and Damiel don't know Jon is a spy.

I think a big reason shows like this gradually shave off the contestants is that the fewer people showrunners have to deal with the less money they have to spend on them. Food budget for 8 people for six weeks is a not insignificant cost.

Another good argument for why the Hog needs to go next.
