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.
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.
edit god damn it, as soon as i hit "post."
Damiel Bernaldo's emails lol.
