  • 2 Stars — Pretty bad. Some funny moments, dragged, too many vibe repair days. Barely worth checking.

    Votes: 405 53.1%

The wiggers really don't get it here. The fish clearly respond to hard challenges like the triathlon yesterday. Look how quickly that divided the guys, Drake was legitimately pissed at Landon and Bashir. He is a competitive guy.

And then they rebonded them immediately by introducing a chomo tranny freeloader to the house.
 
Jet and Ben got everyone together and said the audience hates Friendtank so everyone needs to find their own room to sleep in. Jet explained that they're being too chummy and if they don't like being caught in the crossfire of attacks on one fish then move where that fish isn't and let them be worn down preceding the next challenge. Then they paired each fish up with a freeloader as if that's their personal freeloader.

This is such a lazy thing to do to a problem that doesn't exist, they're coddling the freeloaders at this point and basically saying, "Make yourself vulnerable to freeloaders so forced content can happen." All except James Drake know the game so they know how this goes. This is reminiscent of Jet literally screaming "Do something!" at the fish in Season 2.

They devolve into making everything up as they go each season. The problem isn't the fish, it's production repeatedly setting up battles for the fish that can only be won if they band together.

They clearly are only listening to their telegram paypigs and only the dumbest of their doomers. This is such a bad solution to their problem

It's the same Basement retards or/ftl/ clapping to this.
Or people like the retarded newfag posting garbage to bait reactions.

As Letty was leaving the confessional she told the cameraman there needs to be some real conflict in the house and the fish need to turn against each other.

Then they need to read the fucking House. This cast will go hard on competitions, and right back to being buddies. Give them a contest and they will be in conflict, you aren't going to get them to mog each other and they don't crash out at Hellhouse they just get pissy.

Stop flying in faggots that do nothing trying to create conflict from previous seasons, this isn't the cast for it. That money could be better spent on motivating the Fish if you do it right.
 
A lot of people here dooming about this solution, and maybe it is too little too late, but this has been said by many across the fanbase this entire season that putting all the contestants in one dorm was a bad plan.

You're 100% correct but they're going with the "inject 1000 freeloaders into the tank to shake things up" tactic. In previous seasons it could've sowed more division, but obv. friendtank (for better or worse) just means it reinforces friendtank. Hopefully splitting them up into freeloader/fish groups will change the dynamic and make them less willing to intervene if a freeloader is bothering another contestant. Laura is a wildcard, but if she can lock in and team with Drake this could be Neptunian.
I believe this could be the best season if it works out. If it fizzles out and there's no lasting animosity in the tank between the fish in this last 10 days then alas.
 
All that to say I think the dynamic between the fish, held together by Bashir, is new and fresh and they should play off of it instead of try to force everyone to improvise annoying each other all day for no reason and no reward.
This is similar to some thoughts I've been having lately that each Fishtank season is its unique thing with its unique cast that interacts with each other in a way different from other casts, and each show being its own metaphorical spaceship, this closed system that evolves along with the journey, is more true to the essence of Fishtank than how much poop was thrown in a season, or how many ounces of condiments were dumped, or how many AI songs were added to the SFX list.

Having seen many different flavors of Fishtank over the seasons, I believe there's nothing inherently wrong with the idea of friendtank, there's nothing inherently wrong with the idea of hellhouse, it's how you do either that matters and how you (the royal you, as a showrunner) adapt to the progression of each season.

We'll see how Jet's gambit plays out, that's the only thing we can do. It either works or it doesn't. If it doesn't work, hopefully he recognizes it quickly and tries something different. Until then, consult the chart.

Friendtank is officially over because that shit was boring and gay! The fish will now sleep in seperate bedrooms and the freeloaders have picked fish to help fuck with the other fish
Twins & Blane (The jungle)
Bashir & Vimp (The arena)
James Drake & Laura (The dorm)
Landon & Binx (The computer lab)
This is exactly what I was just sperging about lol. My suggestion would be to not try to instigate but try to put them in funny situations. There should be personalized daily challenges like drake has to crawl for the entire day, Landon can only speak in pig latin, Bashir can only give bad advice and words of comfort, etc.

All this is going to do is end up with someone getting condiments poured on them or their bed while they're trying to sleep.
 
Edit "erm um no u" you got your attention. That's enough for today
Who would've thought that all you had to do to become a heckin' superstar in the back of your mind was to say something the majority thinks is lame and do nothing?
Seems pretty meta for a Fishtank thread.

Binx and Vimp are total duds.
Laura is hyperfixated and stuck in a retard loop that has everyone rolling their eyes.
Alex Stein hasn't really done anything yet except chit chat.
Blane is a good passive freeloader that doesn't garner animosity but is good to have around.

Their solution isn't to remove the nontent and keep the content, it's going to be to add more losers.
 
Binx is already trying to under cut this entire idea by trying to say "teams can team up against other teams" to Laura.
 
Twins & Blane (The jungle)
Bashir & Vimp (The arena)
James Drake & Laura (The dorm)
Landon & Binx (The computer lab)
Bashir and Laura would be a better teamup. It would make her have to attack others. Binx and vimp won't do shit to help. Glad they gave Blaine to the twins to have some protection.

Ben even said in their telegram chat that trying to plan ahead was pointless, this show will always be scuffed specifically because you can't really plan, not in detail, maybe broad category things but not specific details of how the game will go. And that's part of the fun, the chaos of it all, seeing production try to adapt to the fish. Last night we were having fun, today we're dooming, tonight we'll be having fun, tomorrow during the day we'll be dooming, and so on and so on. That's been this season in a nutshell.
 
Friendtankers on suicide watch, dooming now commencing.

For real though we'll see how this plays out. Production helped put themselves into this situation by stepping in a lot and introducing easily defeated freeloaders.
