LANDON APPEARED AS A SPECIAL GUEST ON BLANE'S STREAM
 
Is Blane really LARPing that he hates that Bridget is trans while he jerks off to it? Did he not get the memo everything he's liked has been found?
Well ackshualllllyyyyy Bridget wasn't always a tranny, he was just a fag that wore women's clothing, probably the quintessential example of a "trap" It's only recently they caved and made him actually trans and a lot of people hate that decision. 4chan especially loathed the change and Blane is a /ftl/ user so...
 
So he finally left the fucking house??
he said hes just outside the house

DISCORD LEAKED!!!!

If he's a degenerate, he should just own it.
As long as he owns it and shrugs off the haters, that's all he needs to do.
Didn't he admit to the Gelbooru pretty much the instant people started pointing it out on TTS? Pretty much the opposite of Lubecooch, at least.

I don't do Guilty Gear, but what makes it funny is that the core story of Bridget was that the feminine vibe was pretty much forced onto him by his village (same-sex twin, which was seen as an omen). With Strive making Bridget accept himself as female, the story is now effectively that he was groomed into being MtF. That's what trannies consider the peak representation they want, I guess? :tomgirl:

Here is my essay on fairness in Fishtank season 5 (and in general):

We need to figure out what it even means to be "fair" vs "rigged" in the context of Fishtank first.

In a game show like Jeopardy, everyone who applies knows that the game is about knowing trivia, and production filters out all the people who are unable to compete at that level before they make it to the show. I think most people think it's a relatively fair show. The question is whether it's fair because the contestants get screened first, or if it's fair because they know what the challenge is. Boxing works the same way, where participants know that the challenge is boxing and are effectively pre-screened by weight class. So there's two factors, and I'd think that to call it "fair" we'd have to hit at least one of the two.

Season 1 eliminations:
Jon via acting, alternatively was allowed to quit with earnings via popularity/entertainment
Sylvia via intelligence/trivia, alternatively production rigged against her because she was least entertaining
Vance via endurance, but with Josie getting immunity via fiat
Final challenge had a gauntlet that ended on a tie, then had Josie win a prowess challenge against a smaller competitor, but it's unclear if the final challenge was physical by random chance or if it was physical in order to give an advantage to the more popular contestant. It's also unclear what would have happened if there were no tie: either higher points would have won or they would have rigged challenges to force the tie.

Season 2 eliminations:
Brian eliminated via "don't speak" challenge
Trish eliminated via social/fiat game with Fatty
Tayleigh eliminated via physical challenges / social game
Shinji eliminated via physical challenge, or possibly via the same social game as Tayleigh lost.
It's unclear if Shinji would have actually won the show if he'd defeated TJ because there was no tie after the gauntlet. There was a short talk between Sam and Jet about Shinji not having enough points to win even if he won the boxing match. The gauntlet itself also had a social game component, so if the winner was really determined by points and not the boxing match than this was in part a social game in addition to physical endurance. Shinji also had the highest endorsements for the entire show, which implies that the audience popularity was not the deciding factor.

Season 3 eliminations:
Ian eliminated via social game
Mizzy eliminated via social game
Simbal eliminated via social game
Payton and Binx were both just eliminated by fiat. Probably the metric in this case was audience popularity, and probably not physical strength.

Season 4 had a single elimination, which mostly social but also prowess.

As interpreted as unfavorably as possible to the twins, this would be:
acting: 1 (Jon)
intelligence/trivia: 0
fiat: 2 (Sylvia, Trish)
endurance: 2 (Vance, Tay)
prowess: 3 (Letty, Shinji, Angelina)
popularity: 0
Don't speak: 1 (Brian)
Disregard season 3 because it was famous house.

As interpreted as favorably as possible to the twins, this would be:
acting: 0
intelligence: 1 (sylvia)
fiat: 0
endurance: 1 (Vance)
prowess: 0
popularity: 1 (Letty, Payton, Binx)
Don't speak: 1 (Brian)
Social: 7 (Trish, Tay, Shinji, Ian, Mizzy, Simbal, Angelina)

Season 5 eliminations, if you disregard Bashir and Anisa:
Emily via endurance, fair because she knew about Vance
Landon via social game and prowess, fair because he knew about Angie
Bashir via dexterity and intelligence/trivia, possibly fair because of Sylvia? I don't remember if family guy was a factor in her elimination.
Twins via prowess

The other aspect is how people can quit, and you're allowed to try to harass them until they do. Season 1 Josie only won because her opponent was literally the only person in the house she could beat at prowess, if Jon or Mauro didn't quit she may have had to fight one of them and lost. If somehow Emily made it to the end, the twins may have beat her. In theory, the twins could have harassed James Drake into quitting to save Emily, then worked with her to eliminate either of the boys during candy challenge while also harassing the remaining boy into quitting. The problem with this strategy, other than how unlikely it was to work, was that it requires that the twins were aware that the final challenge was physical: If it was determined by popularity like season 1 may have been, or a three-way social/endurance game like season 2, then the Twins arguably had a better chance against James than Bashir, and getting rid of James might have been handing Bashir the win.

Another possibility is just that the winner is whoever is whoever Jet decides is the winner, but based on past seasons the Twins were more similar in personality to the winners of the first three seasons than they are James Drake.

I would say that the wiggers failed when they cast them knowing that they couldn't beat James Drake in prowess, and then actively coddled him, and then rigged the gauntlet to be a tie, and then made the final challenge prowess when (in theory) no other season had a prowess elimination. As soon as they cast the twins they were obligated to make each elimination challenge the twins were part of something that they had a chance to win, and there was no way to let them win the Goo challenge.

A much better challenge was obvious: Goo making challenge. Most goo in X minutes wins, goo must pass the smile test. Twins had an advantage by having made slime before the show, but both the Twins and James Drake knew that goo was involved in the final challenge ahead of time, and both had opportunity to train for goo making much more than either did, and it's a task that can be completed successfully by children. The only metrics would be social and following production's direction, both of which James should have been better at than the twins. Plus it would have worked for any combination of the final three contestants.

Even if you look at it from a "will James sink low enough to win" perspective, the twins did not have any agency to stop him.

So, in my opinion, the game was rigged against the twins from the start, and the ending was completely unfair to them no matter how you look at it.

He did and it was immensely based. But then he went on to deny loli porn to James Drake which while gay, was probably the right move at the time since Drake was keen on throwing out anyone he didn't like, and Blane needed time to cook. And cook he did.

When the audience of the gross autistic peepeepoopoo show says a challenge is gross production REALLY needs to recognize their fuckup. Goo Wrestling is going to be a scandal for the show forever now, every challenge will be compared to it with Goo Wrestling being the extreme end of the 'rigged' spectrum, and rightfully so. What I find interesting is that Goo Wrestling, as scandalous as it is, isn't really divisive. Vast majority of fans recognize it as gross, incredibly unfair, and so on. Those trying to downplay it aren't just a minority but they're an element of the fanbase that is outting themselves as not worth taking seriously. The "Burts" if you will.

And it wasn't just that this challenge was "unfair", there's been unfair challenges before, it's that it was so obviously unfair everyone could tell, the arguments in favor of Goo Wrestling aren't that the twins had a shot but that it was okay to rig it against them because they deserved it, they didn't deserve to win. Even those in favor of it aren't arguing it was fair. James Drake apologizing to the twins after it's over, Drake yelling at Burt to stop cheering during it, and Drake obviously holding back to make sure he doesn't hurt them during it all show this. It wasn't a victory for Drake, it was merely humiliating for the twins and wildly uncomfortable for us the audience.

tl;dr Goo Wrestling will go down as the worst challenge in the history of Fishtank, it will stain the tank forever (rightfully so) and forever be the extreme of the rigged side of the spectrum for challenges.
 
If they had a ton of those robots it might be funny to hire jeets from different castes working jobs at competing companies and have them compete in the house remotely for a mini season. They could do jobs that are call center focused like answering questions about products, resolving issues, etc
If your goal is to start an interjeet fight, hiring a Northern Indian and a Southern Indian to work together and collaborate will definitely cause onscreen crashouts that will be conducted solely in English. Most people outside India don't know this, but Hindustani speakers and Tamil speakers hate each other with an incandescent passion that makes any caste or religion divide seem petty.
 
Couple of clips I hadn't seen posted yet. Bashir's final(?) goodbye:

I need to tackle this just for completion's sake:

Season 5 effectively ended when James Drake defeated Bashir during the Watermelon Golf challenge. That was the peak, with even the music and the cinematography involved doing justice to the elimination challenge. That was the decisive event that determined the winner.

The Twins should have been eliminated during the candy challenge; the rules were slightly bent to eliminate Landon instead, but if things had taken their natural course:

1. Bashir, Drake, Landon, final three
2. Bashir wins trivia.
3. Drake wins the elimination challenge vs Landon.
4. Drake and Bashir compete, outcome uncertain, but probably a victory for Drake by points.
 
This is such a peak Landonism....

Somebody ask him if he's going to talk to Monkeyspiit or not I'm very invested in this side story. She still stands by him. I support this love.
people were trying to ask about monkeyspit but blane didnt ask him about it
and i dont support it because its fucking OBVIOUS she does it for attention
i think the best course of action for landon is to ignore her
