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: 170 22.2%
  • 4 Stars — Really good. Lots of hilarious moments, strong fish personalities, solid content and vibes

    Votes: 405 52.9%
  • 5 Stars — Peak Fishtank / Masterpiece. Non-stop insanity, legendary fish and production, pure chaos

Idea for season 2:
Goldstriker's Totem
View attachment 5144031
Maybe it gives immunity to the fish who has it, so when a fish wins an immunity challenge, they get the totem.
The other fish can steal the totem, so they'll have to keep an eye on it at all times.

The production can also sell the totem as merchandise, like replicas of it, or keychains, etc.
That thing is getting flushed down the toilet or dissolved with acetone.
 
Someone snapped a picture of the house and put it on reddit. This was allegedly taken the day after the show wrapped up.

Letty said she misses the structure and planned out days at the house since she doesn't have that at home and she needs structure/routine.
Gonna have to make your own structure and plans there Letty. Don't get overwhelmed, you're only young once, don't waste it.
Letty said she plans to have a podcast with Betty, not a long term one but will make some content with her. So I guess they're on good terms? Has she not read the butthurt from Betty lol?
A slight correction here, I'm not sure if she said she was really willing to do a podcast with betty as she said she wanted to do a podcast with her friends instead. Good for her.
 
I've seen more than one post here attempting to approximate the amount of income the show made. I've noticed that none account for 2 important factors.
1) No one has factored in that everyone with an account got free tokens multiple times. I didn't pay anything except the $40 to get the final product and I was able to send 4-6 TTS and vote in a bunch of polls just from the free coins. So let's say an average of 5 per person and 12k+ accounts. That's rough 60k free TTS and that needs to be factored in.
2) I've seen no mention of coins spent on polls. Granted the information may not be available but certainly a significant amount of tokens purchased went to this.


So I'd say the numbers are definitely off. It just depends if more was made on polls than lost on free TTS to determine if they were under, or over, estimating.
 
jon just joined an IG livestream with josie, and during it he gave his fucking phone number to a gas station attendant claiming "it's 4 years outdated"

not outdated enough to not dox his entire family though.

Jon Curtis, what a retarded sounding name, it's perfect for how he turned out.
 
It's interesting that Vance and Letty were the two fish who had the idea to come into the tank playing up a character/role but it played out so differently for them.


Vance immediately showed his hand to the audience making sure to tell the cameras that he's actually a really nice guy and this is all for the show and even showing off the bits he had planned, while with Letty it was hard to know when she was being serious or doing a bit. He went to film school and somehow seemed to forget the importance of showing, not telling.


Vance is a superfan of Sam's and fancies himself a comedy guy so it's funny that Letty understood much better how to perform. She out-Sammed him by keeping it ambiguous where the character started and the real person began, but Vance was too worried about being liked and being accepted in the house to throw himself into it. It's an interesting role reversal based on the usual norms of male vs female socialization.

Vance is not a stupid guy and I think he knows he squandered his opportunity to grab the spotlight on the show so he copes by being like "well atleast people think I'm a nice guy! Atleast the other fish wanna be friends with me!"

Vance can do some funny stuff with improv so I'll give him props for that, but I don't think he has the fearlessness to be the comedian he wants to be.

I really hope they get some more charismatic and extroverted fish for next season. 12 seems like a good number to have to fill it with different personality types.
 
Over on Twatter, Betty is posting Ana-chan body checks and panty shot thirst posts. She's also backtracking all the shit she said about Letty. Says that she was supposed to be mean to Letty, that was her task. Said she got in 'trouble' for apologizing to Letty and being nice. I don't know if that's true or not. I'm sure her being told to troll Letty was real and I don't fault her for that. However, someone points out that Betty brought up Letty's revenge porn. Betty says everyone already knew about it and it was fair game, and that Letty crossed the line and brought up stuff she wasn't suppose to either about other fish. She does not clarify what Letty apparently said that "crossed the line".
I totally called it. People called Letty BPD forever when she wasn't at all but if there was someone with BPD on it was Betty. She's clearly not all together in the head.

Letty in a twitterspace today.

Josie Update:
Unclear when she'll be streaming. Surprised no one on the crew can spin her up in a day for at least a basic stream.
View attachment 5143468
Here's the first 18 minutes of the twitter space:

Here's the whole thing:
 
-Jet said that the ETA on the edited Season 1 is 6 months, before Season 2 begins

-Sam wants Season 2 to have 12 contestants

-Idea for the first challenge is to make everyone pack up as fast as they can one they're settled in

-Chris (Sam's crew, not Fatty) told Jon what fishtank will be about and how the viewers can fuck with the contestants while in the car after picking him up, which is why Jon knew it and spilled the beans to everyone in the tank

-They're having nightmares of fishtank (Except Josie)

-Josie is awestruck by the area, having lived on the desert reservation with her tribe, she has never seen so many trees before

-Fatty got ordered to talk to Goldstriker about getting Josie money in the finale, but they were worried that it would be fucked up because he hadn't seen Willy Wonka before, he ended up being brave and sticking up for them

-For Season 2 they plan to have an event everyday at the same time, so that everyone who cannot watch 24/7 can watch it

-The camping challenge only happened because the plumbing actually went out. This happened because they had a plumber check it out after Tax flushed a rubber snake, only for them to discover that the plumbing was actually fucked up and needed fixing regardless

-Alex Stein was really into reality shows, and he paid to bring Dontarius on


-ETA on WP Season 2 is 8/9 months, it's halfway through shooting but a long time will be spent on post-production, they're having a problem with people laughing on set

-Letty got back at Jet by dunking his shorts she borrowed in the toilet before returning them

-They interrupted Vance's schizo bit because they thought he actually went insane and wanted to check up on him

-The prize offered for Season 2 might be 100k, to incentivize normal people into participating, they might hide the show's name when looking for contestants

-They want Fatty back for Season 2, an idea for him is to have him as their chef for the first half, then fire him and make him a regular contestant for the remainder

-Season 2 will be in a new house

-Sam would train Josie to fight Anisa :story:

-Letty was most shaken up by Frank pouring toilet water on her, and the threat of her getting kicked off for weed

-Vomit sfx got removed because it was making people leave the stream

-Chewing sfx was Jet

-Jet has been working non-stop on getting KingCobra on, but it's difficult. They might offer him infinite beer and a lifetime supply of cigarettes

-Steve was a bit by Fatty, but he eventually forgot that it was a bit and got genuinely angry at TTS

-Season 2 will be the same mix of hell house and comfy house as Season 1 was

-At the fakeout Josie was okay with not getting cash, and Letty was informed on it so that she wouldn't start doing any bits and ramping shit up

-A planned fishtoy was 'Monster', where for 10k a guy in a monster suit would torment the fish. They decided to not do it because they didn't have a good monster suit and they would need a guy on standby 24/7. The same problem occurred with the Metal Band fishtoy

-Next Season will give the contestants RFID Bracelets so that they can be followed through the house

-Another idea is to have a commissary in Season 2 for the fish to be able to purchase stuff with their earnings


-Josie will be selling merch at Game On Expo

-Letty plans on putting most of her cash into savings, will spend some money on streaming equipment and instruments

-Josie also plans on saving most of the money, some will go into her business so she can setup a website to sell her merch as well as streaming too

-Instead of the hot/cold fishtoys, they could use a sauna heater for Season 2

-Fishtank and WP 2 filming simultaneously was accidental

-Being away from mountains and deserts makes Josie no longer feel dirty, she is now clean and pure and white

-They got 75TB of footage with 5TB of space left, they are getting 270TB more of storage

-Planned to have a psychologist on Season 1 but didn't happen because there were too many moving pieces

That's definitely accurate, I think sometime between when Damiel was eliminated until just before or just after Sylvia was eliminated, Vance kind of realized Letty's strategy was better than his. Letty's character was just a really gentle twist on who she normally is in the first place so she was free to just go around being herself until an opportunity to play up being stupid or ditzy arose. When she was down and didn't feel like doing it anymore she would just drop the mask and become a regular person and not reveal anything new to the other fish other than that she can pour her own boiling water. Vance was clearly burdened by what he thought was a big persona - it wasn't, but it seemed to take up more processing power than he had. So during that second-half lull he had after Damiel quit he was shocked into being quiet and more boring than ever because he couldn't do "Cool Vance" and didn't want to show anyone "real Vance." It's what fucked him in the end- Letty felt guilty for being a menace sometimes but didn't stop because everything she had ever done had been for the show. Vance felt too guilty to do anything because all his bad actions were things he credited as himself and all his good actions were his persona.

12 does seem right, I think 8 was the right size for the house they were in but 12 would have saved them from the lull that happened at times where none of the fish felt particularly threatened with an elimination.

Also something interesting from that stream I wanted to highlight, Jet said the rubber snake didn't break the plumbing, but rather the plumber diagnosed a serious issue that would have shut the show down in a matter of days if it hadn't been caught WHILE looking at the rubber snake. And that the camping challenge wasn't planned, it was just what they HAD to do because the plumbing was for real broken. So they went out and got AstroTurf and all the tents and everything about that whole arc only happened because of the fortuitous snake flushing that saved the show.

Audio-only archive of the stream because even the 360p version is 420MB and I don't feel like uploading three 140MB files over TOR. I have the stream saved in all resolutions in case there's later demand.
