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

[code123]

The S2 contestants were starved and malnourished given just grits to eat, not fed a healthy but bland diet in the house.

i think that just like Penut butter and grits it would remove alot of the motivation from the fish and they would just mope around the same way.
i know i would struggle to eat enough if i was just given rice and cabbage or something and then would have no energy and be in the same spot.

edit: i would be for it though if it got the fish to wake up and do stuff on a schedule, i do like no food if you miss a meal.

They could be given a wide variety of vegetables and fruits and other basic foods but if they would want something like chocolate, ice-cream, or pizza. It should be for a price or as a reward. A commissionary was mentioned both in S2 early on by production and here in the thread and chat but never implemented. If they were able to use their chips to get themselves stuff from it, it would've made challenges for chips more engaging and incentivised since they would have to compete and win if they wanted lets say some chocolate, or a specific drink, or pizza.

if that is the plan then i am all for it, but that just sounds like regular food minus sweets.

while we are on the food talk they need to make the fish cook more, like each fish needs to cook a meal on a schedule, and cook for the whole house including the basement, then get a reward based on how well they did.(and no frozen food, make them cook from scratch)
basement could cook for like the first week and then hand it off or something.

there was some funny shit in s1 about how no one could cook and everyone was just eating jon's plain chicken, it would fit into the development theme of the show teaching them how to cook for a group for cheep.

Sam already said they aren't messing with the food on the next season.

Other reality TV shows already figured out how to use food for competitions. You keep your contestants well fed and with decent food, but all the really good and special stuff is saved for competition. Jet and co could do this but tbh I doubt they will because they suck at planning and would somehow find a way to fuck it up.

Personally, I like the idea someone had of hiring Brian and making him be the in home chef for all the fish.

My favorite part of Season 1 was them repeatedly stick entire boxes of leftover pizza directly into the oven, because nobody knew how to prepare food with out a microwave.

I'm kinda curious what the liability is if someone gets really sick from improperly prepared or handled food. I know there is a lot of regulations for selling it, but Fishtank is such a weird set up, I'm not sure if they'd get in serious trouble if a bunch of people got salmonella.

Either way, I'm on board though. I'm really hoping they go the route of having an agency recruit people that aren't aware of Sam Hyde. People that aren't going to gracefully let their chance at $50k get rigged against them, because they guy to hang out with an idol of theirs. Someone that'll sue.

Yeah, them getting fucked over in the courts well ruin the amateur nature of the show. Even if it doesn't end the show, they'll have to be so more cautious about how they do things, that Fishtank will lose all the edgey uniqueness that gave it so much potential.

Fuck em. They already proved they can't live to too their premise. I expect Season 3 to be even worse, but I'd love to see a lawsuit get to discovery to see how things really run in the basement.

The inability of the fish to do basic cooking and use gas stoves safely was hilarious.

 

[anliteralidiot]

I think if they implement the food stuff, then paypigs/staff shouldn't be allowed to fuck with your reward food. It fucks with the motivation, because why try if you're not even sure you'll be allowed to eat it?

I remember Trish got something last season, and someone paid to have it dumped on her head, during the grits famine (pre-Greg). She asked the shark not to do it, but it happened.

The casting agency has already been identified and shitloads of people on 4chan have been fucking with the form already.

Trish had a harder run on the food situation than any fish because Frank and Shinji smashed her food stash up. Even then the food famine started stepping on other bits like shark attacks. Ben smashed a cake on Tay's head and normally this is supposed to be an infuriating and annoying bit, instead she spent the next 15 minutes eating the cake right off the top of her head gleefully because it was good food.


I notice you point out "pre-Greg" but nothing really changed, even in the final week. Greg was wandering around picking up donuts off the ground or still hanging from the nails. The fish managed to get some spaghetti because of the spaghetti tower challenge but they were just as malnourished going into the finale as they were a few weeks prior. A few deliveries of take-out food here and there happened but the situation never resolved itself, even then, the takeout food seemed more like it was just leftovers from the basement crew handed to the fish rather than deliberately ordered on their behalf.

This is the most exciting thing I've seen for Season 3. The absolute retarded niggers of all races that'd apply to an advert like that is going to be amazing.

Bad for a 6 week show, I could see Season 3 burning out even quicker than 2, but I think it'll be a fun garbage fire.

 

[code123]

they should just get a bunch of illegal's from different countries that all hate each other for the show.
it would probably end in a murder but you know they would die (literally )for that 50k and wouldn't care about getting canceled on the internet.

make it a new show and call it monkey cage.

they also would not know Sam, but probably would not speak English either

i would get it but only if dumb gay includes a n word pass.

Some more news, Bloodgames is the name for S2.5 and it will be a new side show to Fishtank. It's a good idea to have a smaller, faster paced show in between seasons. Blood games could be a reference to Warhammer 40k, a practice by the Custodes to keep themselves sharp and prepared for anything.

CK has apparently been constantly seething about Brian since the show ended. I don't keep track of her or Brian so I'm not sure how bad it's gotten but I remember him saying that he did break up with her after leaving the show.

I don't think whippet brain has the capacity to remember deep lore.

They probably have games planned, and to make it sound metal, the name Bloodgames was chosen during a whippet-induced manic episode.

I am definitely going to check it out, not expecting Takeshi's Castle levels of entertainment, unless something goes horribly wrong.

On the subject of food, it'd do to just have a fuckton of refrigerated deli sandwich ingredients, like enough to feed an army, canned soup (good canned soup) big catering amounts of lasagna and shit like that. It was always weird to me that they would need a new grocery trip every 3 days and they'd have to remind the wiggers of it.
Dumping it to be funneee like the sharks did is stupid because people still need to fucking eat.

Then you deal out the kinda shit that you get drooly over for prizes (wings, pizza, steak, sushi, chinese) for rewards.

The problem is I remember Betty saying (not the most reliable source but it sounds believable) that the wiggers eat like shit normally and Jet's fridge is completely empty save for condiments and beer. So the problem is fundamental.

 

[EenGevolg]

If they supposedly care so much about having the fish cooking, why not just have a cookbook, and fill the fridge with ingredients for at least a couple of the recipes every few days? Whoever decides to cook a recipe and doesn't fuck it up earns chips as a reward. If you can't pay rent, you lose access to the fridge, and must rely on Soup Kitchen Bryan. This probably would've been better for the first two seasons, though, since I'm assuming people from casting agencies probably wouldn't be as helpless NEETs as 4channers applying via Craigslist.

Betty aside, the wiggers are a core issue with the food. All this talk about scheduled meals, decent food, food as rewards, etc is moot. No one involved behind the scenes does proper grocery shopping where a kitchen is stocked with sensible stuff so they have to get slop every few days. That was also true for the fish and them, people should know that's the case.
When they tried to fuck with the fish during season 2, they had a pizza and ice cream party in B2 where all the basement crew went up and ate it just to be mean. They got heaps of Domino's and buckets of ice cream purely for themselves. Literally something a child would do if you gave them the money.

Treat the fish like college students, let them cook shitty food for themselves but don't deprive them outside of specific challenges. People are complicating it too much asking/expecting anything further and it's unnecessary anyway.

 

[Polyboros2]

I think the most entertaining thing they could food wise is:

• No Microwave
• No "Gas Station" Food. Hotdogs, Ramen, Popcorn, Ramen, anything frozen and precooked.
• Minimize food that that can be readily eaten. Some fruits and veggies like bananas or carrots, but primarily dry goods, raw meats, and hard veggies like corn and potatoes. Stuff that has to be prepared.
• Fish have to work in pairs to prepare food for everyone. Explicit rules are stated that fucking with people's food is off bounds.

I think it would drive interaction, and depending on how good a cook someone is, either form bonds or rivalries. Also, hopefully they get another batch of season 1 zoomers who has never prepared food before and we gets some real disasters.

 

[anliteralidiot]

A person can survive on just potatoes and milk, so just give the fish a shitload of potatoes, salt, and milk. Maybe a little oil for cooking.

And have that be the "grits" minimum.

Ben just came upstairs to B3 one day, and tried to flex that he had McDonalds. And he kept pushing it, like it was a big thing? It was just weird.

On the topic I was watching Brian stream yesterday and he said Jimmy was the best cook. I remember people were saying that was Damiel last time because he actually worked in a kitchen so I'm not sure how that came to be this time.
I don't remember watching them cook much though. The famine came really early on.
