If your interpretation is correct (and I think it is), then the second season did not have a prowess challenge that mattered for elimination.

The candy challenge is kind of a mystery. There's a possibility that the missing candy was a production gaslight because Blane was in the basement just beforehand, and there's a possibility that the amounts of candy were rigged. The only way that this changes anything is if the candy challenge was rigged against Landon, which still means the game was unfair, unless you count his vote towards the recount as consent to be eliminated, at which point we're back to it being rigged against the twins.

the missing candy wasn't a gaslight, on stream he said he literally couldnt find the bag, someone in chat said he saw the bag being put there and wasnt sure if he should sent the tts and blane responded that he shouldve

I'm of the mind that the Fishbowl with Bashir v. Drake would've also been pretty disappointing. You can't really tell me Bashir would be up there shitting and pissing his pants and throwing up. Unless they hammed it up with the fucked up challenges because it was Twins and Jet was seething about it I'm almost positive that either it would've been rigged to be a tie game and then the wrestling would obviously go to Drake, or it would've been a massively disappointing blowout with Bashir getting no points because he's headstrong with his morals. You could tinfoil and say that maybe the Fishbowl wasn't meant to be the ending challenge and it was meant to be Watermelon Golf but it got changed to the Fishbowl when the Twins won immunity, if so that would've been a good final challenge.

I guess I just don't know how people can parse that the Fish Bowl wasn't rigged in James' favor to some degree. (This is not me seeing he didn't deserve it the win)
The Jeopardy game proved that James's weakness was knowledge. He only seemed close because he was tossed the Jenkim bone. Twins did decent for none of the categories being in their wheel house. But out of the whole set, the vast majority of challenges were acting and physical.

No rap battles, one art challenge, no intellegence based ones (you could argue the desk but that feels more based on life experience). And the argument that those categories wouldn't be entertaining really doesn't work for me because a lot of the challenges were kinda duds.

I consider furniture assembly to be somewhat spatial intelligence-based.

James Drake is not an abstract thinker, it's true, but he had the best linear and concrete thinking in that matchup.

Bashir vs James Drake would've ended with Watermelon Golf, which was ostensibly also spatial intelligence since you needed to memorize the rooms and then use muscle memory to move.

Not with the technical parts of it for obvious reasons, but in handling people and "things to do" within the Tank? For sure. Again, he is endearing, that could work. Jet was wrong in glazing him when he came back as a freeloader because he turned into a very annoying simp, but he was right about the "you shouldn't be just a janitor" part.

There's your night watchman, Jet. Get some sleep next season.

Yeah, the Fishbowl was so boring that if they didn't have the Alex B and Burt B plot during the downtime it would've at least been 40% downtime. I think the Twins were shafted from Jet pulling the averaging rule out of his ass and him clearly Simon Cowelling them into trying harder which they never really did. The obvious black mark that shows they were clearly gunning for the Twins was when they made this whole grand speech about them letting chat decide who won the graffiti challenge and then when they saw it was the Twins winning they wanted to walk it back.
The Wigger mind is an enigma but I could see them thinking that it was a fair series of challenges and then after seeing the Twins fuck up the gimmie challenges like impersonate Blane they knew the Twins had no chance and cut it at a tie to watch Drake beat them up because they thought it would be funny when it was the ultimate nuke fiber that was only saved because of Burt and Alex B.

I don't believe Watermelon Head Golf was supposed to be the ending. With how loose the rules were it felt like an asspull that actually happed to work out well. Enough so that I'd love for it to make a return.

The problem with all this speculation is that it is impossible to tell what is from Wigger incompetence, laziness or intentional

But regardless, the goo was meant to play some role in the finale, and it feels like whoever was at the end James would have won since we saw him physically dominate Bashir before, it just wouldn't have been as blatantly unbalanced and uncomfortable to watch.
 
Good season, goo-d cast, I had fun watching and that’s all I care about. I even (may Allah forgive me) enjoyed Jet this time around. I can’t wait to see how they fuck up this good thing they have going, as is tradition.

I sent this one :story:
Knew it'd get him (Landon)

TTS was telling Landon that Ghost(Politics) community really brought their best with him, called him a faggot and said Ghost stood for Gay Homos Only Streaming Trash. Which Burt took the bait and Landon is pissed.
Burt: "Is that true?"
Landon: "No it's a different community, the Ghost community is the most toxic community online.."
Burt: "Yeah but it said Gay Homos Only Streaming..-"
Landon: "MORON, are you going to believe these fuckin' morons-"
Landon then proceeds to humiliate himself for the remainder of the night. Someone TTS'd that his nickname in the ghost community went from Blackberry to Pink Panther and he visibly looked broken, he idolises Ghost Politics, so any TTS that fucks with GhostPolitics or involves Landon & GhostPolitics is a weak point for him in the final days HE CHOSE to stay for.

I'm hundreds if pages behind so give me a thousand clocks but I don't care, Burt is just so good. When TTS tried to lie and tell him that Ghost was about sucking off gay gamer boys and Landon wanted his dick sucked (while leaning over Burt), his reaction was just utterly pure:

TTS: "Suck him off, Burt!"

Not just "that's my pocket pussy" but "that's my pocket pussy... you can use it if you want."

Burt for President.
 
Possibly sounds of people downstairs fucking starting at 0:30. Could be water pressure causing a pipe to shake or a washing machine but there is a rhythm to it.

I'll tell you what: they're learning. It seems that, finally, this season, the training wheels are off, and they no longer feel secure enough to continue being ignorant. I saw this season as a development from what happened before.

If they're smart, they'll use James Drake for a continuing business relationship. Not as an actor, but tapping him to get things squared away for production. If he does have a registered production company, it adds a degree of obfuscation for them.
