To play devil's advocate for tj: every time he's supposed to talk this thread diggs in on calling him a mush mouth and how he ah and ums. What do you expect him to do when pressed on the porno shit even if he is defending himself lol, he's still the same mush mouth faggot who can barely form sentences
>why are you so defensive? just own up to it!
>why aren't you defending yourself like Jimmy?
>I'll do whatever I have to do to win!
>I was forced to do the baby fetish shit, but you acting during the challenge and following instructions was messed up!
Watching them try incriminate TJ its excruciatingly painful, it makes me feel intelligent. I think TJ is lubecooch, but their justification is laughably bad. How is TJ supposed to prove a negative? The burden of proof is laid on the accuser for a reason. Speaking of proof, the contestants haven't seen or even have access to the screenshots. Now that I think about it, this is a perfect setting for a mock trial, to provide some semblance of spectacle and structure before in inevitable devolution into shitflinging. There already is an authoritative referee named JUDGE for fucks sake. If they are trying to provoke TJ into doing something wild in retaliation, they've only made him more sympathetic.
while the Jet and Ben show unfolds, to nobody's amusement.
Jet says hes the director, but he wants to be the star. This became clear to me when he stopped Tay from antagonizing Nifty, and his justification was because he wanted to keep his 4am youtube sessions going (which was funny, but telling).
the whole “you guys suck be entertaining NOW” is a self fulfilling prophecy. constantly negging the fish puts them on the defensive and they have already been taught that laying low and doing nothing is how you win.
While I agree that the fish are boring often, I feel like production staff just says this to absolve them of blame. They control
all of the information, stimuli, rewards, and punishments. On top of that, Jet tries to get them to form alliances, sabotage, gang up, discourage ganging up, and have challenges where the outcome and popularity doesn't matter, its just up to the whim of whoever is judging. Oh also some activity that will carry into the early morning. Today it was... marshmallow spaghetti arts and crafts followed by the exact same group therapy conversation we've had three times. I'm so excited to watch more circular logic, gaslighting without subtlety, and asking the fish/freeloaders questions that will never matter. Do they forget that contestants have to live together? They can't just waddle down to the basement like Jet. No wonder nobody targets Shinji, he's the biggest threat but a pleasant roommate.
It really feels like jet is trying really hard to protect the fish he likes, especially with him very obviously trying to get everyone to go against shinji.
To me, it looks like he has contempt for the part of the audience that disagrees with him, like it hurts his ego. I can't find the screenshots, but he loved Brian and saved him from getting kicked like 3 times.
