Really crazy because theres only what, 4-5 years between Bashir and Mints?
You are not seriously comparing James Drake pouting and bad mouthing Landon behind his back to Bongo screaming, throwing chairs, falling on the ground and hyperventilating to the point where she literally doesn't even remember doing it the next day(at least that's what she claimed in the confessional)
stunning and brave to say here
Im convinced he's the winner. Except for Josie, every season Production has picked someone and put them through unbelievable crap and if they didnt crack they let them win.
Letty at least got a good pay out, Tayleigh got scammed and fucked over by the retarded finale format.
It becomes horrible because Mints is a fat fuck sweating like a pig in a blanket in the suit.
Think it was Jet who said that as he just spoke over the loudspeaker.
You don't playtest this for over an hour mints, that's just playing.
What did they put TJ through besides the Lubecooch shit? With that logic, Landon should've won, because a high-rank production member beat on him too. Burt won, but got no money for it, and now they meme retconned it into Alex B winning.
TJ was heavily coddled and protected. Only a handful of Lubecooch TTS were let through the whole season.
They shaved him.
"The Winner" of Fishtank is decided not by challenges, its rigged, we all know this. The winner is whoever is the best character, whoever grows (not necessarily in a positive way) or evolves with the show. You can usually get a feel for this by week 2 or 3 (another reason I think the 4 week season is the best move going forward). They did not have to bring Bashir back, they wanted him back and were pissed he was gone, thats why they got rid of the bullet right after. He is the main character, and unless Drake in some serious way steps up in the next week, hes not winning. I see an argument for the Twins, but in the same way unless they really do something bold in the next week Production wont let them win to avoid having another "Josie".
Season 2 just sucked is my explanation there. Landon didn't win because in the end he couldn't grow a spine. As for Burt I don't believe anything they say about him or that seasons ending, I assume its all kayfabe.
old antara clips I forgot to post
"James. We brought your girlfriend in thinking you would crack but you snuggled and took that like a champ. You never broke. Congratulations on the 50k!" says Ben, as he hugs his boyfriend.
Ill humbly eat my words if he wins, but I think a lot of people misread when Production talked about how excited they were to work with Drake. They didn't mean that implying he'd win, they meant it that he would help create the best season they could. I said MANY pages ago that we have to accept Fishtank is what Fishtank is and that its just something to be experienced as it flows in its totality. In that framing, Drake is great because he's been a pillar in almost everything BECAUSE hes a professional. Bashir isn't, he's some just some random sperg fan, and thats why he will win. James is just S5 Luke.
Agree with the rest, but Mizzy didn't get it that bad besides being the "fat bitch" tts magnet of the season still would, and semi-frequent wardrobe slips. She bitched loads about small stuff like the candy challenge, and generally had a shitty attitude that pissed people off. Even came back to take the vegas trip with her tank bf, compare that to Letty/Tayleigh abuse and it was basically a free vacation.
