If they're really lurching into S3 for a late April early May timeframe the only way they'll pull it off is by reusing the S2 house
Considering how much the neighbors bitched and moaned about it, complete with getting the neighborhood board involved, that could be a very costly mistake. There wasn't enough time to do anything about S2 before it ended, but if Sam and crew are going to make using this house a thing for the future, I'd expect them to start getting the legal paperwork ready as soon as they get wind of it.

I would honestly be shocked if they started it off that early. Hell, the 6-7 month time frame they had between the end of season one and start of season two wasn’t enough time to find Fish unaware of the show, and I seriously doubt they had time to plan many challenges out either. I don’t understand the point of rushing into a new season like this. Give the audience some time to breathe you know?

Just a few things I'll point out in this recent S2 house picture, they've fixed the drywall in B3 and potentially B1 which should be leaking in light from the left if the wall was still blown open, sealed up the gooncave, and then painted over the whole house with that beige colored paint, presumably primer. But they haven't plugged the holes in the ceiling for the TTS speakers and camera mounts. If you're going to be sealing up stuff it would stand to reason that you would also yank these speaker/camera mounts out and do it all at once, plus the popcorn ceiling surface needs to be removed during any renovation and this is a labor intensive process of misting it until its moist like mud and scraping it off with a trowel, so you definitely do not want to paint before this process is done since the mess is ungodly and will get all over the walls you just painted.

I don't see anything like a camera mount there. Just mounts for the room lights. The large thing hanging from the ceiling there doesn't correlate to a camera position either (map). I think that would just be the upstairs hallway light.

Late April sounds crazy. S1 started April 18th so if they want to keep pace sure. Yet having no S2 episodes and even the state of the house pictured needs a month as best. Obviously it can be an old picture as well. I feel like we are months away actually, but the only thing I am really taking into account is that there are no episodes and if they wanted to release that the same way it would take 2 months to just slowly put them out before S3.

Re-using the house is probably a good idea though.

Considering how much the neighbors bitched and moaned about it, complete with getting the neighborhood board involved, that could be a very costly mistake. There wasn't enough time to do anything about S2 before it ended, but if Sam and crew are going to make using this house a thing for the future, I'd expect them to start getting the legal paperwork ready as soon as they get wind of it.
They will probably have complains wherever they go as long as they buy houses to host the show in. They didn't have any major issues though so maybe the devil you know is still preferable anyway.

They could just be using it again and then moving on too, no real reason to think keeping the house is going to be permanent. If they did buy a house every season I think they would be juggling 2 or 3 houses at any given time with the renovations and waiting for offers so I can see a house used for 2 or 3 seasons and that becoming the pace of it.

I was surprised that they managed to find a house for S2 in the first place. 6 months go by faster than you think. They'll reuse the same challenges like "The Cage", count on it.
Reusing the house for S3 is a disaster waiting to happen.

It's obviously money. They'll milk their paypigs and try not to completely fuck it up. They got by more or less pretty well so far, but if you don't shake things up, it's getting boring. And no one wants to watch boring shit.
But Jet is going to "advance culture" yet again and there is no point in getting mad at their incompetence anymore. If they want to make their show shit, let them. I'll just laugh at those retards now. The only thing that I want to see is Sam roidraging at Jet, because that would be actually funnier than any jokes from MDE's pet retard.

Jet is vague enough that it could mean anything really, be it a new season, website redesign or just the S2 episodes releasing. If you look at the behind the scenes footage for S2 they were slamming the house together some two weeks out from the start of the season.

I think you may be right, the focal length of the camera just makes the room deeper than it really is and that makes it seem like the light fixture isn't centered. I remembered there being a microphone or some sort of black TTS speaker off near the left wall near the cabinet which is what I thought that may be. The hallway was illuminated by two scones and that may have been removed for a light fixture in the roof.
 
They haven't even flipped season 2's house yet.
The point I'm making is they could rush a S3 season by reusing the S2 house, the house cost something around a half million and this is a sizeable part of their fundraising, I have my doubts they can afford another equally large sized house without first selling that one and the real estate market isn't exactly ideal at the moment so selling that house will take a significant period of time. Sort out the few electrical issues, patch the drywall, paint it, throw down shitty rugs or laminate flooring across the whole house and you're already back in business. The S2 house did have a good flow - it was decently large so that the fish were able to have a bit of privacy when scheming but still small enough that a dedicated fish could sneak and overhear it. They closed the gooncave entrance to B2 but that became obsolete when they made it the confessional. I don't recall anyone ever complaining about the S2 house in terms of layout, room decor or aesthetics, if anything it was quite charming. The only issue was the rugs sopping up every liquid possible and making the place a fucking biohazard.

The season 2 house had way more personality to it then season 1's super generic soulless tract home. I loved the 70s vibe to it. Shame about the season tho.

surely the wiggers negotiated something with the board so they don't immediately get shut down before the season even starts, right?... i swear, Sam is legitimately an idiot for entrusting a fucking tranny chasing Juggalo with this stuff.

course, maybe they don't actually want to do another season and their plan is to have the neighbors shut them down. that way they can claim they don't make them anymore because of all the red tape and not because they're a bunch of idiots who have no idea what they're doing.
 
Reusing the S2 house is fine I guess, it's a nice enough layout that has enough room to work different themes in but the original charm was that so much of the house was the original 70s decor like the green carpet.

also Betty should join here and attention seek, we all love you, please come piss on us.

All three bedrooms were so good.
B1 with the calming trees, turned into the cell.
B2, where some of the most drama happened (Fatty Claus breaking Trisha's bed, Hammer Jimmy, goon cave entrance, Nifty Content Hours)
B3...just B3.
I love the striped B3 sectional matching the walls.

I still don't like how hard it is to follow a contestant in the S2 house - the first one was miles simpler and desu the 70s theme and clothing kind of neutred a lot of the cast's natural personality. Goth tay would have been cool during S2.

I preferred season 1's house as well. The living room was bigger and had more room for activities. The plain aesthetic was actually good because you could easier see just how trashed things were getting. Season 2 house seemed too cooped and dingey to me.
 
I am not sure if i believe it but pushing so fast will mean the S2 cast are even more forgotten. At this point i only follow Cole on the slim chance he does the underwater stream. I have zero hope that they learned anything from S2 in terms of not repeating mistakes.

The introduction of a wardrobe is one of the few things I agree with Jet on, it was a great improvement.

I think the issue with following action around the house in S2 is largely an interface problem. Before they added the map to the S2 site you had to click into this large two-page full-page map to click rooms, very clunky. The flow of 'next' and 'previous' button-navigation always felt unintuitive and was interrupted by the bath cams in awkward ways.
The simple list of rooms in S1 was much easier to deal with. Even with more cams than S1 it is a better way to do it.

Couldn't have said it better myself this is exactly it, a list of rooms and the simplicity of clicking through it without having the cognitive overhead of processing the map.
 
It's pretty fair to say someone owes you a thank you and conversation to recognize your support of their channel. Josie is incapable of appreciating her fans and takes advantage of them. It's why she has almost 300 gifts on throne and 0 thank you messages sent. It's why she talks down on fans who donate after not having donated in a while. She has nothing but greed, and that attitude will guarantee her failure as a streamer.
I don't think I've seen any DMs from you. If you gave me a significant amount of money to support me as a streamer I'd owe you gratitude and a conversation. Also you're pretty annoying stalking Josie then claiming I'm a stalker lol.
I thought you liked findom anyway. Maybe you should pay her more
