I strongly disagree, you make them give you the best content by making it clear that the people that are trying to be entertaining and doing things are the people that will go far in the competition. Endurance challenges like the cell lead to some of the best content in both seasons.
I know we shouldn't reply just to say shit like "I agree" but holy fuck, can't Sam and Jet get this already? Every content that people like from Sam is when he's not acting like he wants to abuse people, just making fun or being silly is enough, no one would say Xavier would be better if he made people puke
I think a healthy mix of hellhouse and interesting ideas like the LARPing would be great. Not exactly torturing them but fucking with them and creating drama between them gives a bit more draw for when the relationships finally blow up. The Taymaker is a good instance of this as was the Jimmy meltdown.
You forgot to mention that Jimmy poked a guy in the balls and proclaimed "NO MORE REPRODUCING!", and the NPC got visibly angry.
...oh my God Xavier is the nega Frank Hassel
The cell challenge which is the most obvious example of "hell house" in both seasons were 95% painfully boring. It sucked ass. Jon kicking a hole in the drywall was the only interesting thing to happen in season 1's hellhouse. I can't even name a single interesting moment from season 2's cell.
Trying to create artificial drama between fish does not work. People see through it. Even retards like Jon.
I'd have to disagree with you here. Season two cell challenge was awful, but s1 had bible preaching kino, Damiel withdrawals, Letty and Jon flirting, pissing in the closet, first appearance of piss witch, Sam and Jon doing tard workouts, and some Fish were forced to deal with other Fish they didn't like, therefore being at each others throats the whole time. The relationships between Fish beforehand carried the cell and made it great. I do agree that hell house rarely generates content, but the cell was more of a combination between friendtank and hell house.
Was gonna say wasn’t the cell 2 where the Dumbgay Trish beef erupted from (might be misremembering). Trish (according to herself) made a joke during the sand castle building about building her sand castle to “keep the blacks out”. Then that directly lead to the drink fountain fiasco. Did they beef before the cell ? (i can’t remember when the ramen throwing incident took place)
It was the birth of the piss witch thing, and season 2 had many interesting moments such as dumbgay running the car horn for 1.5 hours to keep everyone for sleeping which ended in production losing their minds and taking it away before tricking him and his 80iq brain into voluntarily leaving the cell.
This is all true but it does not change the fact it was overwhelmingly just the fish sitting around doing nothing hour after hour after hour. It's also easily the lowest effort challenge for production.
only the first cell was good and only because there were no challenges and it was just pure chaos for the sake of chaos.
If there's not occasional blood in your stool you're not a True American
Season 2 would have challenges super often. Including segments where they just told the contestants to follow the instructions the tts gave them. The only times there weren't any challenges was when they were sleeping which is the same for every other day. The cell challenges is constant content instead of half of the day being friend tank where the fish fail to cook food and lazily small talk for 8 hours before one big content drop at the end of the day with a big challenge. Season 1 cell challenge was mostly sitting around, but it was sitting around forced to listen to and be insulted by tts and it was a lot shorter because they didnt have a bath room just an empty closet.
dude, no. not for the 42 straight days. it was boring more often than not.
challenges are only good when they lead to chaos, in season 2 , for example, there was the furniture wars challenge and the bunk building challenge both wich were excellent, and they were good cause they were utterly deranged.
