THATS WHAT EDITING IS FOR
YOU JUST SKIP THE BORING SH

He said that the improv was not as funny as the stuff they wanted to put in and then they spent an entire episode on everyone's personal speeches which had no bearing on what people ended up doing in the show and no airtime on Letty grooming Simmons to become a tranny.
Who the fuck, what
So he agrees but he's been on a banning spree against anyone on Twitter saying the prior editing was subpar? Classic Jet.
I swear this kid's head has gotten so far up his own ass the last 6 months or so, it's kind of impressive.

Episode 3 doesn't even look like 1&2. It's edited completely different. It has title bumbers. The audio is mixed better. I am almost positive they realized they fucked up the first two episodes and scrambled to make 3 as good as it is. It feels finished and polished, compared to the amateur style of the previous episodes.

Don't quote me on that, but during fishtank he basically said he was blocking useless negativity that hindered his productivity or something like that. Only the biggest shills and paypiggies have valid criticisms and everyone else is a troll and a "kiwifarms freak". So if you don't want to get blocked announce you're a proud owner of Mongoloid Megabits and maybe post about how much you love huffing air dusters.

3 episodes in and there isn't an intro about what the contestants are competing for.
Without this context anyone who stumbles upon this show will be confused why would 8 people sacrifice their time for being locked up in a house for 6 weeks.

This reminds me of that twitter space where this one guy was like "uhhh Letty's content is just people yelling at her, she doesn't contribute anything to the show" and another fan legit got mad and yelled "WHAT CONTENT DOES LETTY HAVE?!?".
 
You answered your own question. Sam's investment was flailing in the wind & blowing up Simmons being some kind of pedophile was how he kept the fire stoked a little longer.
lol what? The viewership the first few weeks was the highest it was throughout the show and TTS's were coming in basically every minute of the day. The show was doing fantastic.

I don't know what people like that were seeing. It makes it really obvious that people were just coping and trying to hand the trophy to their fav if they seriously try to argue that they didn't see what Letty was contributing.

Another thing: when you think of things like Schizo Vance, or Josie talking before bed, or the "Vancepills," they might stand out as "content" in one way, but they're two dimensional because they don't "advance the plot" so to speak.
Reality TV show content is about interactions, or at least Jet seems to agree with that because with Josie being the special case, they're cutting out anything that doesn't involve two people interacting together. Schizo Vance only added to the plot when it became a terrifying opening act that Jon refused to follow, for example, but Josie talking alone in her room never contributed to the plot because it never prompted a reaction in anyone else.
Meanwhile Letty's actions may as well have been chapter titles in a book of the show - her most memorable moments involve shoving herself ahead and forcing everyone to react to her, which gives the day "plot" and "story structure." It's not "day when everyone got training babies and it was marginally harder to sleep" it's "Letty convinces Vance to steal Jon's baby, then shakes the fuck out of it, sending the house into a baby-murder-spiral."

Well you have to remember that there were like 6+ other cam feeds to watch at once during the live run of the show, you would have to stay tuned into anywhere she was located in order to see what she was contributing. Otherwise it may as well have seemed like she wasn’t doing much.

with Josie being the special case
If they include that one scene where Josie is sitting in this spotlight in her bedroom like some sort of angelic being and they add heavenly sound effects to that and choir music, I will kill myself.
 
someone needs to build the men in black memory wiper and flash john back to the pre tank retard state, he was funnier when he was just an unhinged retard without an ego.

ego trip, i know better then everyone else john sucks, but is funny in its own way i guess
 
Oh, speaking of Letty, I meant to add notes from her stream the other day.

  • She said she deliberately was trying to fall off because she didn't like the attention and is surprised to still easily have 200+ views.
  • She says it's obvious that Vance is starstruck in his interview with Sam in episode 1
  • She said she isn't wasting time and Might Be Working On Something, With Someone Soon. Not clear what, music or acting or Fishtank or what.
  • Wanted to change her last name to be Clement but didn't want to bother Jet and didn't tell him.
  • Plans to keep doing reactions to episodes as they come out because it's easy content and people like it. Says she doesn't think she can stream based on how it's gone in the past (tech issues, her breakdown etc) Says she wants to do "performance art" streams like Interior Semiotics
  • Agrees that the premise is missing from the first episode
  • Says the "most interesting moments" that were "crucial between contestants" were not filmed on the HD cameras so she is worried how that will go. No explanation of what she considers those to be but I'd be interested
  • Says her carpet is not the same color it was when she moved in and that you can only see the floor 'in patches, like a cow'
  • Has a huge bruise on her foot, was at the hospital this weekend because she thought she broke something. Which is vaguely spooky because Betty shot herself in the foot with a pellet gun this weekend.

It's edited completely different
they probably hired a real editor. as much as people like to say "no one would ever work with Sam Hyde" theres literally thousands of people graduating film school every year, beyond that people who will feel "money is money" if those guys that made the last Bruce Willis movies could find a decent editor i'm sure Sam could. Also its a reality show, these guys aren't really better morality wise than what the left believes Trump is. Jimmy Kimmel himself even pointed that out way back in 2017. Plus you'd be surprised whom you could hire especially on the lower rungs of hollywood. Gavin Mcinnis was able to fill a whole show even post-charlotsville of people in the industry who were willing to show their face on his show. For Fucks Sake Sam Hyde just premiered the latest seasons of world peace at the biggest comedy festival in the United states, stop giving me this whole "he's impossibly blacklisted" Sam literally came inside of at least one editor while at that festival.
because she didn't like the attention
its too bad a skinny cute long haired brunette is the natural state of women. theres nothing she could possibly do to keep the simps and fans at bay. Also why stream at all? pre-record it. Or keep the camera off of you, or a dozen other things.

Yeah I'm sure Jet who joined MDE as an editor secretly hired a ghost editor to edit his first major project for him. What you want is to completely hand off creative control to a random anonymous person for your project.

yeah i'm a retard. if we're being honest though what is the logical explanation to episode 3 turning out so different, are we really saying Jet just needed to do another once over on an episode already in the can to make it that much better? At minimum someone told him to fix a lot of stuff he didn't think/care about, also i didn't know Jet was an editor, he doesn't strike me like the type to be part of Local 700

If you're this suicidal you should speak with somebody.

Doesn't sound outside the realm of possibility at all. If true it'd be a smart move considering the general consensus of the editing on the first two episodes has been pretty negative.

I saw someone saying they would tune the show out anytime the fish were chatting aimlessly amongst themselves. That's the sort of person who I imagine thinks Letty didn't do anything. To that person, hours of utterly empty silence throughout the entire house are exactly the same as hours Letty spent talking about making jewelry out of cum or how long you would survive trapped in a mall with a murderous gorilla. Otherwise you would have to be adamantly staring at Vance and Josie sitting absolutely still to miss what Letty was up to.
I do like the diversity of what viewers witnessed, it adds a sort of meta-game of trying to compare notes with other viewers to arrive at a universal truth, but when confronted with the fact that they were choosing to watch paint dry over something more lively, the response of digging in and saying "who wants to watch anything other than paint drying" has been insane.

Considering how they've used her so far, it's happening bud.
I saw a few people saying that the editing was casting her as the winner in season 1, but they're fighting a losing battle against her irrelevance to the proceedings. After episode 1 all she has done, within the documentary, is open a lootcrate and not remove anything inside it. You can bet they're going to bring back Credits Josie in future episodes so that she still has presence without slowing down the plot with her silence.
It's almost brutal that her introduction speech is about her talking more and opening up when that doesn't describe her arc at all.

Would you describe this as a potshot at Jon or just a potshot at Andrew Tate
