It's an old pic, I forget if a fan took it of if someone from production posted it after the show ended. I think he means "is this something we should do, during season 2."
Anyway, there's no way he can use it being "Sam Hyde's car" or "Jason Goldstriker's car" to add to the value of it.

Meanwhile, Betty draws Autists

Stuff like this, his stupid wigger music and his worship of E-girls are a reminder to me that outside of his bad mimicking of Sam's personality and actions he's just another clay-brained zoomer faggot. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Jet turns on Sam arc in his future and a denouncement of his current father figure with all of the faggotry Jet does.
What a fuckin cuck, but what else should we have expected from a tranny chaser?

I don't think Jet would ever turn on Sam like that but I fully agree with the rest of your post. He really is a zoomer at heart and not very smart at all lol. He did great with Fishtank tho.

Was with you right up until this point. He had his moments but overall his incompetency was on display especially hindsight being what it is. Griping aside, he is decent at thinking on his feet to keep things rolling, even if it's a bumpy roll. He should care less about being a character on his own show in the future.
No offense to Josie but if you are a grown man watching this you are either mentally stunted or have some disturbing sexual preferences. This shit is not normal.

Agreed. I wonder how aware she is, she plays up a character and acts coy too often to be completely in the dark. This was her first stream I closed the tab on because I was tired of it but I'm going to zip back through to do the usual summary and check if there was anything of note.

For a 25 year old with zero experience in the weird experimental reality show thing they were doing he did great. The sheer amount of hours he had to put in is mind numbing to think about. He basically was on call 24 hours a day for like 6 weeks straight.

Maybe I'm a dick but I think he dropped the ball constantly and lets his ego get the best of him.

There's some moments that were handled poorly, that experience would have resolved, but as a proof of concept or a pilot it was really well executed.

I'll be a lot less forgiving next season if he hasn't figured out a way to not overburden "vibrant" contestants. I dunno why I'm banging that drum over and over, but it just seems like they will definitely fix stuff like how TTS couldn't be paused or doxing the set using local brands of pizza. Lots of the big complaints you might make about what Jet fucked up would be easy fixes for S2 and would've been obvious in retrospect but not the first time around.

Anyway... to continue my ramble again...It might be more obvious to kick out people who are gullible and harass contestants who don't look at you like a dairy cow when you bother them, but FT people aren't like the faggot theater major contestants on Big Brother and more work has to be done to preserve the personality menagerie.

But Jet is just going to say, "ShirtWasCash said it was funny when I made Jack, the hyperactive ball of creative energy, cry, and Rockystream clipped it, so I should do it again!"
 
Josie's recent stream was one of her worst yet for content. The first half was nothing but opening lame packages sent via Throne. Plushies, too many bugs to eat, hot sauce, clothes that don't fit, etc. One package stood out, mostly due to her pretending not to know what it is and who it's from.

Peak viewers: 398
Avg viewers: ~340

Approximate earnings, I may have missed one or two donations.
  • Total earned: $640
    • Youtube total: $518
    • Youtube -30%: $362
    • Streamlabs: $278
  • 4 $100 donations make up the bulk of earnings
  • 45 gifted memberships which I believe is ~$2.50 per membership for the month
  • 34 donations counted
Most notable weirdos don't get a special mention on this one as it's the same bunch doing the same things. They're becoming the standard, unfortunately.

Top Bloke: Queso4Life
Queso4Life has been one of the most ardent Josiecels since Fishtank. You'll find no one who has posted more about her. He's been banned from 4chan twice for spamming images from her streams and is the origin of "Erm I love Josie," something he's posted daily for months, excepting ban time. Josie replied to some DMs on Thursday and his was in that batch so he's over the moon this week with unprecedented levels of attention she's given him.
His obsession is very real and he has shared that he'd love to meet her in real life one day, if given the opportunity. Fortunately for Josie, he recently moved to Japan from the UK for school so it's not as easy as some other admirers she has.
Screenshots from a recent /ftl/ thread

1694308869766.png
  • Posts in 4chan threads daily that he loves Josie
  • Has gigabytes of Josie images
    • During Fishtank he'd share how many images of her he had as he grew his collection
    • Haven't seen him mention it in awhile but he gets new images each stream
  • Exclusively posts with Josie as a reaction image
  • Types/talks like Josie
    • "erm nasties"
    • "that's silly!"
  • Has mentioned adopting some Josie-isms in real life
    • Stimming
    • Some speech patterns
    • Some styles
  • Molds his life schedule around Josie's streams
    • Now that he's in Japan he's posted that he's working on a class schedule to avoid missing Josie's streams
  • Rushes to buy any new merch
  • Jokingly refers to Josie as his wife
  • Enjoys Josie karaoke IG Lives an uncomfortable amount
    • A trend among the "weirdos" I refer to
    • Frankly, I think they all get off to her being drunk and retarded in a more personal stream. They will wake up at 4AM (their time) to avoid missing them
    • He posted karaoke Josie constantly for weeks after the first time it happened
  • Insists people don't "lewd" her and that his obsession is not sexual
She shouldn't give guys like this the attention they crave but she's probably unaware of how bad he and others are.

Overall, the stream was opening weird packages that she didn't ask for and barely cooking for an hour. What she did cook wasn't particularly strange aside from throwing Gfuel powder and edible bugs into the mix. Towards the end she confessed it wasn't that bad, though she hated the bugs.
Her vernacular is particularly wiggery and she lays on the "cute talking" thicker than normal at times.
  • Over an hour of unboxing stuff
    • Lame superchats
    • Opens a package containing BDSM cuffs and plays stupid the whole time (clipped)
      • Very likely sent by Bad Ideas, an obsessed fan local to Phoenix
      • He has shared some sexual acts he'd like to do with her so sending these is extra creepy
  • Broke a cracked phone screen protector further and got glass shards in her mouth (clipped) and fingers
  • She mentioned she had 16 Lil' Josie keychains made when getting other keychains made for future conventions to sell at and asked if people liked them or not
    • She must enjoy selling at conventions if she's going to continue
    • We'll see if she announces which cons she'll sell at going forward
      • If not, people will find her anyway
  • Alibi with the "squiggly E" 5 (euros) - Where did you go? English weed is better than yours.
    • "Where did I go? I went to an anime convention! teeheehehee And I didn't record anything! Classic Josie! Classic Josie! I was having way too much fun. I can't record a video when I'm tryna have fun, you know what I'm saying? It was a vacation... a vacation... not a work time! You see what I'm saying?"
    • Clipped
  • Points out her bed is taller
  • Comments on how things smell while cooking a couple of times
  • Got a weird superchat from kobyshinobi, a cosplayer who recognized her at Saboten Con
    • 1694311582787.png
    • He made a Youtube Short about it on his channel which is included in the clips spoiler
    • He seems unhinged
    • 1694319627148.png
  • A crossover paypig from Letty's bunch donates $100 telling Josie to down a bottle of hot sauce
    • Josie bitches out and drinks a bottle cap of hot sauce. "I'm not gonna chug it, I'll take a sip..."
    • 1694313478925.png
  • Regarding batteries in her microwave, she said "Not yet" implying she may use batteries when she retires it with more dangerous stuff
"Food safety type shit"


BDSM cuffs sent by "anonymous" who is almost certainly Bad Ideas, the guy who asked her out at Game On Expo and has been sending uncomfortable messages for much longer. She pretends not to know what they are and pretends not to know who sent them.


She bites a glass screen protector and gets glass splinters in her mouth. She crunches it shortly after and gets splinters in her hands.


Saying where she went on vacation. (Saboten Con)

Was rewatching some of the best Frank moments tonight and stumbled on a Sylvia bullying moment that might just take the cake for most cruel moment in the show. Frank and Sylvia are talking and Frank asks why she is fat and she says it's because she quit heroin and replaced it with eating and frank suggest she gets back on heroin
 
Sam and Damiel did standup in Woonsocket last night, on one of the used WP2 sets.

Sorry for the shit quality of this capture, Damiel started the live pretending to be asleep and I figured it was going to be nothing worth recording and then he whipped out his laptop and kinda lost his shit for a bit.


I don't know why it's coming as a surprise to any of them but they had a solid month where people were still detoxing from Fishtank Live and might've checked out whatever they were doing. And, if Damiel intentionally spent all of June on the down-low, like he did, because he had something lined up already and didn't need the attention, or if he was just going back to cooking, I would not judge. But as I've been saying, he literally only seemed to notice that time was slipping away when he lost his apartment with Autumn and now suddenly it's "why am I only famous when sam is involved?!?!? brehhh my engagement???"

To me the post-tank success race positions right now are:
  1. Josie (on raw income alone)
  2. Sylvia (released her album, completed a tour, even if it was rough going)
  3. Vance (no path to release his album, only fish whose streaming audience has begun to grow again)
  4. Jon (barely has fewer followers than Josie, lots of momentum with the upcoming podcast and his new editor, but no results yet)
  5. Damiel (basically homeless sleeping on Chris' floor, riding on the MDE crew's shoulders)
  6. Letty (she got to write for WP2 but has failed to get a job or thrive on the internet)
  7. Simmons (Chime, still getting Craigslist work)
  8. Mauro (said 3 times he would make a video or go live and then got banned from Twitter)

Anyway there are other photos of Woonsocket but I'm sharing this one because it looks like Chris Lynch and this Donnie Darko guy caught a massive deep sea fish that has evolved past the need for its eyes

Tired of the revisionism for the wiggers in this thread. I understand being forgiving because it was a new project, but ben was the only one of them praised during season one for his stories. All my good will was burned by the technical problems at the start. All the credit jet receives, outside his friends on twittter, is retrospective bias because sam majorly stepped in at the end of the show to salvage it. I give jet some thanks for holding things together but all his isolated creative decisions were awful. Sam's improv ending was hyped because he realized the show needed an actual storyline and conclusion. The fake contract rant on streaming culture turned it from a wigger production into something actually MDE.

All you have to do is look at the night with brendan buckingham and fatty and the prostitute. Jet's idea of a good setup was to jam the house with as many e celebs and guests as possible and take away all attention from the fish. That period was the height of "jet neptune's e-friend simulator" and sam was visibly annoyed that night. It was right after that he started getting involved again as the show moved towards the final challenge. I remember when everyone thought the last challenges would be torture letty for a week because people on twitter hate her then give it over to a boring josie vance nothingburger end. Unless the first fake ending was totally jet and the wiggers idea, I can't name one good idea they had that had a real payoff or consequences. Anything to do with THE ENTITY was botched, ella left after two days, betty is still a problem on twitter, and everyone forgets emplemon and turkey tom's pointless appearances. The middle of the show was full of filler and people need to remember how boring the camping arc was outside the highlights. Also negative points for constantly inserting damiel.

I don't know who got alex stein, but he was probably the only freeloader who helped the remaining fish develop as characters. Vance/Lance was funny, but I don't feel like it inspired any development beside sam trolling lance about a spot on WP2. Tai felt more like an actual contestant than a freeloader most of the time and I only remember the "I bwoke fwish tank" rants. He can rap for a viet tho. Frank hassle and fatty were obstacles to be overcome for letty and they're impact on the others was negligible. Josie ignored frank, vance beta mumbled about the vancepill, and the only non-letty highlight was the sylvia and frank argument in the kitchen.

I still think sam was pretty icy towards jet by the end of the show. He gushed more about letty's ability to play a character than anything jet or the wiggers did creatively. This could change if we find out the crew was more active in giving letty ideas than I think, but I don't expect the actual released doc will show us much new and will probably try to minimize all the embarrassing stuff.

The setup worked though. The night with fatty and the hooker was one of the funniest and most heavily clipped parts of the entire show. Watching it unfold live was amazing.

Yeah I don't think that's going to win anyone over. It's no secret I hate Fatty, hated him on the show, and hated every bit that he was involved in. I hated most of that night but it had its moments like they all do.
 
Oh I'm not trying to win anyone over I can fully understand where the Fatty hate comes from. He never shut up and had to be the center of attention like a child. The majority of the time he was irritating but for me though his unhinged retardedness lended itself really well to comedy. He had many stellar moments on the show. The whole hooker night had me crying laughing but I can get why it annoyed you.

So much chaos in one image.

That was definitely the worst night of the show. I literally had to take a break because at this point Letty seemed like the only justifiable winner and the sound of everyone screaming over each other while she showered for a third time was giving me a migraine.


Anything to do with THE ENTITY was botched
I can forgive them about the entity because I'm pretty sure that was a throwaway line Sam said originally which they didn't intend to develop, but Vance built on the next day by saying he saw it in the hall.
There was no way they were going to succeed in convincing the fish that the house was haunted. Letty acted superstitious but that has its limits. I think they just teased the entity too much knowing there was no possible way to execute it properly.
If I was Jet trying to hardcore push the entity, the most I could imagine developing the idea would have been to lock all the fish in B4 for three hours while building out a haunted house or something. But imagine if that flopped. Ick.
Vance/Lance was funny, but I don't feel like it inspired any development
as the official vance autist of the thread...
He definitely got Vance to change in some important ways but Vance is a very flat kinda guy so they weren't obvious changes if you weren't staring at him a lot. Like two days after Lance left Vance got in another one of those 1:1 sessions where one of the girls was venting at him, where before he would have just said "yea, yea, yea" and instead was visibly catching himself mid-yeah and actually offering his thoughts and advice. Which is kinda huge considering how bad he was with that before. I bet he's still not doing that anymore, irl.
Vance was already rushing headfirst into a wall with his homesickness and Lance made it so much worse for him cuz he was desperate to go mope alone in his room and Lance was always there.
Also I think his narrative appeal was he kinda foreshadowed Frank. He sped the treadmill up just a touch by fucking with everyone without being rude and without giving away how bad it could get.

edit: i was going to make a point but i got distracted by damiel and forgot I didn't
Jet did his best, I would give him a B and he got carried to an A or an A+ on the good fortune of the casting as well as the lucky things that happened to make the show's biggest moments, like the TTS lying about Damiel's shoes or Chris falling down the stairs. If they got really unlucky in Season 2 it could have easily been completely unmemorable. I think that's just inherent risk in reality shows, though, and Jet can only force it to make content so far before it becomes unnatural, like the gang war day or mother's day.


Unrelated: After Damiel's "why am I not getting any engagement" from this afternoon he titled an Instagram Live saying his mom fucking died and got 144 live views and is now pretending to be furious at everything anyone says. People are stupid.
He's back on explaining Autumn again. I might go back and get the VOD of this because he doesn't even sound fake-mad anymore, he sounds completely unsympathetic.
  • Says he was sleeping, at like 6 or 7 AM, when she asked him "why do you think its ok to move in with me"
  • Says she was the one who said "its better financially" in the first place
  • She goes to school for accounting at Devry, which he says is a bullshit school
  • he snapped and said dont talk to me like that, said she's "ran through" and her "pussy stinks" and says she wouldn't stop talking about her dead ex boyfriend
  • she said you need to get the fuck out
  • "I miss autumn bro just the shit that she put me through. i give a lot of love to her. i dont hate her at all. i like the fact that she threw me in jail and then i had a reality check and had a reality check and had to be a better person. I would probably be dead by overdosing."
  • When he came to NH for Hong Kong 2 he decided to move on a whim.
