Letty admitted Goo Wrestling was meant for a Bashir vs Drake finale. It's pathetic they didn't change it.

The thing is that even if it was Drake vs bashir it wouldnt be well matched at all, may as well be Suzie vs James because none of the contestants could beat him in that shit.
 
Some more post-finale clips

First a little talk between the twins and Drake.


And Mints gets a good laugh out of the room!

Drake vs Bashir in the Goo would have at least been entertaining, not pathetic and cruel. The twins fought so hard to tie it up and then production screwed them over. It was more than just physically unfair.
"but muh fishtank not fairtank!" nah this just crossed the line.

Jet said that he wanted to fight against it but was worried about coming across as a pussy

Call it MATI but him saying this after how he talked to Bingo in the closet after their loss just genuinely makes me hope they pick the wrong contestent one season who punches him square in the mouth.
Those girls deserve respect after today.
 
It's such a bummer that fishtank is run by Jet and the wigger crew. Most of their big ideas for the show end up being underwhelming or outright bad. It's been that way since season one.

Also, eliminations don't make much sense since the show isn't the survivor/hell house type of thing it was initially pitched as. This season in particular would have worked better without them. Maybe just one or two in the beginning for the people who obviously don't mesh with the rest. Then they can be dropped and the remaining fish can do daily challenges for various amounts of real cash instead of one giant prize at the end.

Shitting the hardest, forever.

I couldn't watch the finale, but I think the stereotypical reality show aspiring actor learning to embrace fishtank to the point of shitting his pants is a better arc than Bongo learning not to get hammered on elimination night. If he didn't chicken out on the racism challenge I'd be fully on board.

I'll also say regarding the wrestling bit, I'm weirdly glad it was something that was flat out impossible for them, because as much as I loved them during ambient tank moments they were such letdowns during challenges, and it would have been more upsetting to watch them throw the tiebreaker rather than just alt-tabbing and knowing they were going home with almost half the grand prize. Very frustrating retards, wish all the spergs well.
 
Despite the rest of the season being more goofy and silly than other seasons, they ended up with the most horrifying finale out of pure laziness. I guess there's something philosophical there.

Having the twins shave their heads is particularly cruel when they knew they have no chance of winning. Letty can blame Jet all she wants but I have no doubts if she made a fuss they would at least not shaved their hair.
 
I'm seeing some weird sentiment around Shinji and I can't help but feel it is tainted by the S2 edit. He was not at all like Josie. He was a natural performer and did well in challenge when people took the time to explain it to him. He just struggled with English and Sam seemed to resent him for... not learning English by being on a show.

If anything he is closer to the Twins where they thought the gimick of an Asian guy who only kinda knows English would be funny but never thought of it logistically and got mad at him for needing special consideration considering his obvious disadvantage.

They also broke his glasses. So he was essentially blind and language deaf for a lot of the second half of the season.
 
This will be extremely gay and long but I thoroughly enjoyed this season, in fact I think it might be my new favorite season despite the ending...we will see in time. The characters are what sold it for me. It was a good cast. I was a huge Bashtard and honestly imo he is a winner as well, he wasn't a sore loser, and he made connections with Bam, Jet and Ben. And I hated him to begin with. I think he will be successful in whatever career he pursues, and won't have to rely on streaming to get by. He is obviously very intelligent. Not perfect by any means, but he knew when he was a faggot and owned up to it. That's pretty cool. I love you BASH! He was a top 5 fish for me. I was genuinely upset about Landon's arc and I hope lil buddy gets his shit together. He is a genuinely entertaining guy and his mogging production bits got me every time. Also the way he fucked up every single line given to him, per se. I loved the Tiger and wish he could gain some confidence in himself without alcohol. He is just a funny dude. I will never stop thinking of "nigger babies" His janitor arc was so exciting at first with such a let down. The Vimp shit was so cringe, but also she should have just been more clear with Landon and saved him by ending it and not making it a joke. IDK. He clearly struggles with women. I just kinda lost some respect for her as well. I was a huge fan of the twins originally but their schtick kinda wore off for me. After Bingos exaggerated "withdrawal" from Adderall and Bongos melt down during their candy elimination, which, I was originally against the recount. I was put off by the suicide baiting and just being a sore loser in general. Also they literally hung out in the Jungle Room for 3 days drawing on the walls while Bingo slept, confident they had it in the bag by doing nothing and relying on their "fans". Getting shit faced AND TRUSTING BASICALLY A STRANGER TO HANDLE DELIVERING THE CANDY. I was hoping they learned a lesson after that, I am not sure though. But I am glad things went the way they did because clearly Landon's arc was over and I am happy they get to leave with $20,000 and I hope that they use that money wisely to improve their lives. They deserve a good ending, they gave some of the best moments and I am still a fan. I cried watching them with Drake in the goo struggling because it was rough to see them suffer, and I could tell the entire room was put off by that. It was a bad feeling. At the same time, they tried their best and that's what matters. Life isn't fair, and they could have easily tapped out sooner, like on the first round. I am not mad about it. I honestly felt more bad for them because Jet clearly was tired of their shit and did not want them in the final "2" and he made that pretty clear, him and Ben both. If the twins picked up on that (I'm sure they may have) then that would be a pretty defeating feeling. But I do understand where production was coming from. They were quite lazy a lot, well Bingo anyway. They are also extremely codependent and dangerously so. Hopefully they come out on top, I believe in them. Last one, Season 5 winner James Drake. After Bash left I didn't really care who won either way. Good for him. He did put a lot of fight in, but I do find him to be a bit of a sore loser and often a malding faggot.. When his manhood or strength is called into question he gets weird, like when people were calling him Bash's bitch on TTS and Bash was just dancing and doing a fake gun point moves and Drake asked him to stop. and we got the arm wrestle shit. (BASH W) That was pretty lame. Just one example. It was telling as well in the beef challenge he just focused on defending himself "the father that stepped up" LOL. ALSO getting everyone to believe Bash was constantly manipulating (esp Landon) was so funny because Drake is a master manipulator. And good for him honestly. He won for that. He played and stayed hard. He has his faults like everyone else, but he did deserve to win for the fight he put up. And good on him for not saying Nigger or whatever, even though after everything I doubt that matters, but not compromising your morals is admirable. I do think it was funny and cringe how he chose Bash to be his "racism" target, because it was clearly real rage. In the end he didn't bitch out because of the twins, they totally could have, and he fought until the end. Good Game bud, now get home to those Nigger babies. This is a nit pick but nigga needs to quit the nic gum, my fucking god. Nothing annoys me more than a person constantly chewing gum and talking. LOL

All in all, Jet and Ben did a great job casting. I came out loving (most) the cast for their unique personalities and I wish them all the best. I could tell a lot of love and effort was put into this season. The only nit pick I have is, Wiggers gonna Rig. It's part of the show. I doomed less this season than other seasons and I'm sure that is surprising to hear. I was always entertained. At the end of the day it's their hard work and effort that brings us Fishtank and I love them for that. Especially after the failure of S4 they had a lot to live up to, and on their own as well. Ben's cortisol levels were severely spiking the entire season LOL. Sometimes I think it's a character and other times I know it's not. But it's still hilarious. They did it. And I will be there the next time and the next. Sam's belief and funding helped this project exist but Jet proved it was his own. Good for him. This was the most charming I've EVER seen him. I am happy he is finally able to take some fucking jokes goddamn.

LAST THING. Bam was there. As someone who grew up a tomgirl and fangirled for Bam HARD in my earlier tweens it was amazing to see these worlds collide. I don't know if I think he added anything other than maybe a morale boost and "celebrity" but you could tell he genuinely enjoyed it. He seems like a good dude and I really hope he keeps it together, whether we see him again or not. I personally am leaning probably not as Jet specifically said "people will remember that season 5 of Fishtank was hosted by Bam Margera". Either way his friendship with Bash was cute, but his constant spoiling of bits or twists was a little wild. Especially the end. He also kinda just existed on his own schedule. Ben cucking his speech at the end was soo cringe LOL. I did actually kinda feel bad for him. Jet and Ben proved something that maybe some will disagree with, but I hella doomed when I learned Sam wasn't coming. They proved Sam isn't a mandatory figure of the tank, but he's an iconic one. But maybe a "Host" per se isn't necessary other than for promotion. I DON'T KNOW. Maybe having random hosts will be a theme. Nobody will ever be Sam but Sam helped them lay the groundwork and they are all grown up now. They don't need him.


Also sorry Franktankers but I did not miss him at all and his beef with Jet was funny and cringe. Frank gets in these weird relationships with FT orbiters outside of the seasons (Burt, Dumbgay, Greg, etc.) and then it always goes sour, which makes me wonder....His off season antics last time started funny with Furt then just got weirder, especially with cops and all that NONSENSE. And I would say I am generally a "fan" of his (even before FT) so I was happy to not see him. I can't think of any scenario he would have made better. Obviously he has burned some bridges, and same with Jet, but Franks burned bridges are more weird and parasocial. ANYWAY.

GREAT SEASON GANG I HAD SO MUCH FUN IN SNEEDCHAT WITH YA'LL. LITERALLY MADE MY DAY.. I can't wait to catch up and do this shit all over again next season. Love ya

ps: FRIENDTANK FTW

not exactly, Binx was 2nd place in s3 so it would be more like bringing back Shinji.
It's because Binx simps are super annoying and Binx not only isn't all that cute but also had some of the worst possible takes on s3 (siding with Brandon/the guy who made the child drag outfit, making satanic statements, etc. etc.) so Binx lost a lot of cred towards the end of s3.

Regardless of how she placed, I still don't see the appeal. If Emma had made it to final two it wouldn't have made me care about her.
 
People are acting as if it was all a close call and Twins had a chance at winning IF ONLY the final challenge was different. Nope, twins just sat on their ass and coasted to the end with little effort or pushback, then they half-assed most challenges including the final ones. Drake was the decisive winner all season and they just wanted an explosive ending after creating enough suspense. The final day was just bullshit padding and the winner was very clear.

But I guess twins said "yesh" instead of "yes" once then dressed up as mustard and ketchup so that's worthy of 50k. My bad.
