🐟 Fishtank Fishtank.Live General - Jet Neptune's Pisces Aquarium Internet Reality Show w/ Host Bam Margera

[Lonjil]

eliminations are fake and gay and fuckin rigged bro because it's a show stream and they have to do what is best for content. Getting brought back isn't coddling it's winning the dice roll of what was best for content at that particular moment.

The proof that it was good for content is that retards are still watching and debating it now. It created drama and controversy and kept people watching (for many hate watching) to see Bashir lose. Its a rare neptunian move

 

[Kong Strong]

man idk, find some way to make it fair? make them have a pillowfight or something.

You said "they need to force them to box."
If you are now talking about a pillow fight I'm just going to assume you agreed with me.

Agreed.
Yeah just fight this guy who has trained in something that you have never done and be at a complete disadvantaged with potential consequences.

You're not a PUSSY are you?

It's not an elimination game, it's a gay show. Jet was spot on when he said in a normal reality TV show Bashir being eliminated would have been edited out. Someone was still eliminated (Vicky self elimination), it doesn't matter who it was. If you are watching for the elimination game you are watching wrong, this isn't fair house

I've never said it's supposed to be fair house? I don't think it was unfair or whatever for Bashir being brought back, I think it was a good idea. I'm just saying that claiming someone is being "top coddled" guy while you have another guy who was brought back is retarded.

It's a gay show where elimination is used to kick out people (of course, with wiggers rigging it however they want), so the last contestants will always be "coddled", otherwise they would have just gotten kicked out. Guess my entire point is that the coddling arguments are always retarded.

Force them into a conflict that Bashir will agree to. I agree, he's way stronger than bash and if there isn't some way to make it "fair" bash would never agree to fight him.

Although I do think bash is way stronger than he thinks he is and has some weird hypochondria/OCD shit and is paranoid about getting concussions, he might actually lock in if he was angry.
Likewise, Drake is weaker than he lets on and hasn't been lifting for a month, his opponents have been spergs and weaklings. Bash is the only one who's even close to his strength, and he refuses to exert himself.

TJ got actually KO'd and wasn't concussed and Bash is way bigger and stronger than he is

It's hard to think of something that would allow the anger and tension to dissipate whilst not allowing the stronger fish to hurt the weaker one.
They've already got physical. How much further will it go if something isn't arranged by production to release the pressure valve?
At the same time, anything arranged would allow James to physically dominate Bashir and possibly seriously hurt him. Upon further thought forcing them to box would be a disaster. It's not a fun thing like ringing the beef bell any more, they would want to really hurt each other.
I don't see a way to make it work.

Drake has already demonstrated that he can't handle restraining himself either. When he was dominating Bashir in wrestling he was still pulling his hair etc.

 

[Lonjil]

I dont really want to just see a fight to the death basically between those two as a final challenge would be really lame imo.

Yeah the hair pulling was gay as hell

Drake has repeatedly shown that he's a sore loser and goes apeshit when anyone pushes back against him. The reason Drake chimped out over the goo room is because Bashir had the power to tell him he couldn't come in. He hates Bashir because Bashir will actually defy him.

 

[Zjierb]

This was balanced out by the fact that Bashir was pushed into shooting Anissa by production, it's also not original sin that taints him as The Coddled until the end of time it is one instance of Bashir being handed something in a sea of him being piled on.
Also reddit spacing from a Drake fan, big surprise lol

No, but when he then follows that up with "production has never done anything for me" I personally think that marks him as not only coddled but entitled. All of the things he's experiencing from the other fish and freeloaders are things he's earned.

Emma - anti bashir
Vicky - anti bashir
Landon - flip flop but ultimately anti bashir
Dungay - anti-bashir
Laura - anti bashir
JD - anti bashir
Vimp - betrayal, manipulation that it wasn't betrayal, now anti bashir

I also feel the need to point out that all of the fish were not instantly against Bashir. His actions and demeanor caused people to turn against him.

Emma - Ambivalent until Bashir shredded her plant in a random jihad. People say that she "cheated" to eliminate Bashir but I feel like being clever in challenges is just as valid a strategy when it comes to Fishtank.
Vicky - Anti-house. She hated Bashir because he wouldn't stop lecturing her about her behaviors and/or kratom.
Landon - Tried to ally with Bashir, was met with half-assed plans and failed sieges, no defense from mutual enemies, and ultimately stood against Bashir as an act of defiance. Was used like a lapdog to no avail.
Dumbgay - Was brought in to side with Drake because Bashir had the entire house sans Laura against Drake. Has not heard the end of how haram he is and is likely tired of Bashir's shit.
Laura - Lectured by Bashir about being a crazy bitch. To be fair, is a crazy bitch.
JD - Gay
Vimp - Stood by Bashir consistently until Bashir started being weird and gay. "Betrayed" him when he continuously failed to follow through with any plans and was content to turtle in his fortress.

He's earned the targets that he has on himself. He's undeniably a good competitor but he's also incessantly whiny about how he hasn't had any support from anyone else. He has had allies and opportunities that others could only dream of, like being brought back after elimination, but he feels entitled to more.

Also, a major point of contention I'd like to talk about is the amount of force the door took to finally give way and break into the room. As can be seen by the footage, the door frame buckles in the upper right corner. There was a crack from the bottom left of the frame to the top right. If you put a torquing force on it, like I've marked then it's going to give almost instantly. The follow-through from Drake didn't help matters, but people are acting like he barreled through the door and that's patently false.


Should Drake have pushed the door open to continue the argument? Probably not, it was kind of retarded. Should Bashir have closed the door on an active argument? In real life probably but in Fishtank, no, that would only result in problems either instantly or later. In this case, the door only falls on Bashir because he fails to react to it pushing past him and then slowly falling. He then goes out of his way to grip the door, stare at Drake, and shove it back at him. He 100% aimed at Drake with the door and there's no dispute there.

People revising the reality of the situation to give Bashir more credit than he's due is insane. This feels like we're arguing about something we don't have 3 angles of footage for and several hours of lead-up which caused the door to be in the fucked state it was in the first place. Drake and Bashir are basically polar opposites to one-another and that's why this shit has been so consistent. Yes, Bashir was one of the arbiters of who can enter the goo room, but it's not like he was having a level conversation with Drake.

 

[ElAbominacion]

Agreed.

Give them both foam swords and shields and let them duke it out, ruling out shield slamming. Make it interesting. I doubt Drake has fought with swords.

Actually that does seem fun. Paint ball fight throughout the house.

I love how everyone has written off the twins already, saying the final two will be Bashir and Drake boxing/swordfighting/paintballing.
Nontent twins mogged.

 

[Lonjil]

Why the fuck are people posting essays to debate Bashir v drake. Watch the content or fuck off niggers

 

[Penguin Soldier]

several hours of lead-up which caused the door to be in the fucked state it was in the first place.

If only production had told them to stop fucking with the door hours before hand for this exact reason. Like explicitly told them to stop hitting it, then maybe the guy who has broken multiple doors in the house wouldn't have broken another door because he didn't like being told no.

Emma - That wasn't emma's plant and that was something JD and Landon both were in on. She spoke badly of him in confessional days before this with Vicky.
Vicky - She hated Bashir because he wouldn't stop lecturing(rightfully) her about her behaviors and/or kratom.
Landon - Tried to ally with Bashir, immediately backstabbed him and went back on his word with the plants, then immediately after along with JD, Drake, Emma, Anissa and Vicky lied to Bashirs face multiple times to sneakily eliminate him. Despite this Bashir forgave him and had this same thing happen to him like 10 more times before Landon was finally eliminated.
Laura - Became immediately angry at Bashir for being the only person who would stand up for JD(gay) and as soon as he left has done nothing but mog his clothes and repeatedly cut them up, cover them in piss and food and throw them out the house.
JD - Homosexual libertine diametrically opposed to Bashir's existence, immediately joined the house wide conspiracy to lie and trick bashir around the first elimination despite originally telling Bashir that he agreed with his Plant MAD plan.
Vimp - Brought in and told to explicitly help Bashir as soon as she didn't have to she also joined the rest of the pile.
