I remember everyone in Sneedchat was up watching this fervently, lol. I think this was a night where we were all literally BAYING for Vance's blood, and for Sam's and Jet's for letting Vance and Josie get away with it. Important to note this clip would be 20 minutes long, I wasn't ever cutting talking I was cutting huuuuuge stretches of silence that Vance is always the one to break.

I'm glad you posted these clips. It's interesting to look back on things that have taken place on the show and compare them to what we know about the fish now. This night is arguably the worst night that ever took place on Fishtank. I believe it was where Letty hate absolutely peaked due to the constant Hassle/freeloader harassment taking place on her while Vance and Josie were downstairs acting like best friends with the other freeloaders. It just made me feel kind of bad for her.

Vance is a massive fucking faggot. It's one thing to be a dick to Letty. If he did just that and made his intentions clear it would've been fine. But he actively tries to go out of his way to apologize to her multiple times on the show for his behavior which just makes him come off as a two faced pussy. It's almost as if Vance wants to simultaneously be a 200 iq by manipulating people behind the scenes, making his enemies suffer, but that clashes with his nice guy persona, where he wants everyone to love him and be on his side. He did the same shit with Jon and Josie. Talk shit when their backs are turned, but suck their dicks when in their presence.

At every possible moment Sam and Jet tried to give Vance a win, and yet he STILL somehow managed to fuck it up. Shaving his beard? Nah too much work and makes him uncomfortable. Physical challenge against Josie? Wasn't his fault he lost, Letty put a weight on his leg :(. Barely harassed by freeloaders and sharks? Make the best of it by doing absolutely fucking nothing all day to prove your worth as a contestant. He just exudes a type of pathetic aura.

He may not be an actual physical cuck (although it's 50/50 at this point), but he has the mindset of one. And nothing is more pathetic than a cuck who thinks he's the one in control.
 
After a week they finally got the rap with the girls uploaded. It's on Jet's AUTISTIC MONEY BOYS CLAN channel with his personal raps lol

@Lowercase I internet ywyw. I can't quote you because this is the Kiwifarms. And on the topic this is an open offer: I have the whole ass archive and a few methods now to dig for stuff so if anyone wants me to sniff out a clip I can try to crack it, even something that might be tricky. It's a lot of fun for me so don't hesitate to ask.

But yeah, it's crazy because I think his mindset was so at odds with reality. I think he had three major miscalculations:

1) "You can take a situation, and flip it into the way you want it." Vance said this a lot, and I think regarding the show it's 100% not true. It applied at noncompetitive times, yes, but when push comes to shove you can't narrative and surf your way out of every situation.
He did the vancepills even when the freeloaders made it 'against the rules' and did the Dark Vance thing to quash the freeloader torture early. When Letty was targeting him with the poop he ignored it and when a shark moved the poop onto his bed was extremely careful to throw it out without letting anyone know he had noticed it. When Frank tried to shave him he broke the razor, twice.
He was so sure even after Sam told him it was not going to be him versus Josie in the final two, that he could force it. And even after losing immunity he was like, ah, I didn't need it, I'll just beat Letty in the challenges or scare her out of the house in some novel way that hadn't yet been tried, as though he had it in him to, idk, throw five cups of toilet water on Letty in an evening or something. He spent like five straight days hearing the PULL UP alarm and going, I don't have to pull up, when I'm about to hit the ground I'll just slap it away.

2) He was so sure that he had something in his pocket for all challenges. I think after Schizo, the Cell, the ball-finding challenge, and Impressions, he got the mistaken idea that if he was really pressed he could win at every challenge and that everyone else's wins were pity wins, or he was just not putting his best every time, or something. That the producers would deliberately trip him just like he saw them trip Letty a dozen times before, not realizing that the producers had his number and could challenge him to do things he would buck just like Jon bucked the schizo challenge, that he wouldn't always just beat Letty by tying with her because of producer preference, just did not occur to him. They gave him so much time, he got to sleep on it, he got like five overtimes, Sam gave him shit to eavesdrop that he only happened to miss, and there was just nothing secret in his pocket after all.

3) I think more than anyone else he kicked around words and phrases like "I'm being genuine" "are you okay for real" "you do what you have to for the show" but more than anyone else he had no fucking clue where the boundaries actually were. Letty didn't see any and that was a much smarter way to be - if you fuck with me, you hate me, period.
But you can see in that clip - I cut it so it's not as obvious I guess but when he finally asks if she's REALLY okay but in the moments prior he's like massaging his sinuses and like, failing to relax. I think he was on some level feeling actually guilty at times about shit like this. But then immediately rolls into, just after this clip, more gaslighting about how Frank gave it to him and Josie just as bad that day. Vance one night literally said stuff about how she had musical talent and how he believed she was going to do well breaking out of her NEET thing after she show and then went right into fucking lying about shit like one moment later.
It's like, if during the menace challenge you're gonna yell at Letty about how you're a "NICE GUY," maybe like, be one. Don't excuse every rude thing you ever did as being "for the game" and every nice thing as your core personality, and then lambast Letty for being "morally corrupt" for the things she did during the game after saying dozens of times one-on-one with her that he understood she was just doing it for the game.

I have one that should be easy to find.

On the night the 'be a menace' challenge started, after Jet told everybody to go to be, he un-taped Fatty from the chair. Fatty then defeatedly waddled past the downstairs bathroom and stopped in front of the doorway for a second and I think I heard "I'm only here because..." but I didn't catch the reason. I'd appreciate a clip as I'm curious what he said there, and thank you!

No love, I think. I'm pretty sure this is the exact moment you were referring to but Chris says nothing at all and he doesn't pass this way more than once after getting up.
I definitely wouldn't have noticed him jabbing Letty in the kidney with the mop if I hadn't gone looking for this, though, so.
You got the Letty of misfortune at the end, better luck next time lol

Josie appears to continue pruning and has deleted her reddit account. Worth noting this account was hacked during Fishtank and used to post some socials of other fish.

Starting to wonder if she had an epiphany when catching up on social media and realized using sheep_xing or some such variation for everything is a terrible idea.

I think weird stuff like the anime gore thing was probably a product of her social isolation, so after the fishtank and now that she's got friends in the wiggers she's straightening out the chinks.
 

stream review
  • I wasn't counting well, but I think Vance made like $200
  • Viewership hovered around 250, but like last Sunday he deliberately picked a time slot that would be bad and didn't want it retweeted by Sam or anyone because:
    • He seemed to want to read every single post in the chat, which I mentioned in Sneedchat was kind of unnerving. I think his general idea for the Sunday streams is to have a small enough audience to do aggressive viewer interaction with.
  • It started out ass because he'd just picked more lawn equipment to peruse but once the audience got him off track, things improved a lot.
  • He took some of his own music and stripped the lyrics from it to play in the background, which was very smart.
  • His GF is occasionally heard off camera and he shouts "BABE" at her to ask her dumb questions
  • Someone emailed him pretending to be from Rainier Beer threatening to take his "sponsorship" away which set off a whole arc with him asking the chat how to reply, and people sending him new emails from other companies offering to replace Rainier.
    • It's unclear if the first email was him sending it to himself or not, when he looks at the email it's from zero minutes ago, which is sus. But then Rainier Beer replies a few times, some people in the chat say maybe his GF sent the first email. I think VanLatta@gmail.com was already known, so it's hard to say.
  • There was more Dylan-on-Dylan Adams violence, which was funny
  • Peak of the stream was Vance getting an email from the CEO of Spongebob which got him into the manly giggles
    • The CEO of Spongebob then withdraws the sponsorship because of his "activity on a radical Neo-Nazi reality show" that uses "racial stereotypes" and mocks "neurodivergent and disabled individuals." Vance replies saying he joined Fishtank because he was drunk and he extremely drunk the entire time he was there
He also flashed his emails on stream which was something he was clearly trying very hard not to do.

I guess he's looking for a six-figure job. He also appears to have refunded Dylan Ingo for what was probably an accidentally high superchat? Who knows. Someone asks him later if he's going to see the Cynic and Atheist concert and he says he is, probably without realizing that the only reason they asked is because he flashed it.

She was seen reading this book so that's not too farfetched.

This is a great book. I remember people talking about her reading Kaczynski early on when Jon was still there, I remember people saying it one day when she was reading on the couch, but I have shitty eyesight so I couldn't see what she was reading.

Sylvia can be incredibly annoying sometimes, but other times she seems like someone who would be chill to shoot the shit with while drunk at a bar.

ETA: I still have fishtank dreams almost every night, it's really crazy. I don't think that's happened to me with any other show or book or movie.
 
It occurred to me, why wasnt the Ram Ranch 18 cowboys thing a fish chat thing you could send through to spam at them? Like, fuck the 'What? Youre leaving?" thing, Ram Ranch is shorter and seems like something that you would actually expect the FT watching group to want to spam.

I hope they put it in the next time. I could see some people getting annoyed at it and it seems like something that would have actually upset someone like maybe Jon if they trolled him with it--but maybe I also still think its really funny because I havent had it spammed and memed to shit yet for me.

Like the most chaotic thing they could have done is like say Dontarius getting busted jacking off and whipping himself with a towel and then TTS comes up and its just '18 naked cowboys with big swinging dicks down on their knees gagging for big hard throbbing cocks' with an 'epic' guitar riff, it just seems like thats something that youd be like, 'Oh yeah thats Sam Hyde's edgelord humor.'

But maybe I never got the real type of humor they were going for. Maybe Im just really immature, too.
 
During today's Sam and Jet stream, Sam worked on writing a Daddy Dom dating show sketch for WP2, and mentioned one of the actresses who will be interacting with the unscripted men will be Letty. He mentioned that she wrote some lines for herself and read a few while laughing.

So I guess she'll be sticking around in the states for a while longer, because from the sound of it they don't have this stuff ready yet for like, at least a week? Like just random things he mentioned that they don't have yet - the guys, the script, the cue cards, the extras...

Also of note, based on how this all sounds she will probably have a bigger role than anyone else had in the show, given she's writing lines and stuff. I'm betting everyone else was probably in it unscripted as themselves.

edit: regarding time frame, i'm wrong

This is cool, I was thinking this would be a great way to use Letty for WP2, she seems like a natural for that sort of role. I think she has a sense of humor that works really well with MDE, I imagine it's hard to find women to fit that niche.

I wonder how long her visa is good for though.

I think that wouldve pissed off Sam the most, really.

Letty getting an acting career out of this, even as a female lead for Sam Hyde skits, is a very nice story.y
I'm not sure if MDE has ever had a permanent female cast member, but as a regular for them she could be very good.
 
Janny Josie sweeping it up further. She had a public Steam group for her friends that people joined while in the tank. Not sure on exact figures but I know it was well over 100 when I first looked into it, at which point it was invite-only.
She allegedly showed up a few times and talked about stream ideas, maybe chatted more but that hasn't been shared to my knowledge.

Today she kicked everyone out except who I wager are original Scallywags. Pics from anons but they seem legit.

No one seems to know what prompted the purge but I'd wager it got too weird or perverted like the threads those people came from. I'm not keen on streamer communities but I feel like they should form a community (eg Discord) early on even if the intent is to abandon it due to weirdos once it's self-sustaining. Surely the whole idea is to lead viewers on and maintain engagement...?

I assume it's perverts like you said. I was a part of a Jontent discord server and immediately upon joining I was greeted by horrific Japanese fetish porn of someone pouring fish into a woman's asshole and blatant Neo-Nazi shit. There is a reason why I refuse to show my friends Fish Tank or MDE. Some massive fucking freaks in the community that ruin it for everyone else.
