That brings me to the other issue, the lack of challenges. Since Sam doesn't want the crew bonding and making friendships organically (Something a lot of people seem to enjoy), he's been trying to get them to fight and cause "tension"... But that isn't really causing drama like he is wanting. No one is fighting or plotting. Everyone is just tired and checked out. Sam should be offering more challenges and more fish bucks so people have an incentive to compete.
The show was at it's strongest when people were starting to bond. There was scheming and drama brewing that would have had better pay off if their relationships were allowed to grow more organically.

Now they all just seem alienated from one another it's not as satisfying.

I think a challenge where people need to team up or partner off with each other and work together could maybe help, but their relationships might be too strained at this point.

Sam snitching on Lettie remains one of the dumbest moves made on the show.
I wonder what will happen with the alliance now that the other fish see Joncoin sinking though. Will it be their time to pounce and fuck him over?
 
Letty and Sylvia are salvaging the day by reading Simmons' book and showing it to the camera. They're having a good time.

"THE SHOW IS OVER WAAAHHHHH PEEPEEWEEWEEDOODOO"

Okay fags, see you tomorrow when you're cheering like lunatics at Jon's antics, again. What's this, like 5 times in a row this show has been dead? Jon's just on the rag or something, Jet will bring in some Midol and everything will be fine.
 
The TTS delay leads to great comedy. Jon enters B1 to talk to Sylvia and Letty to tell them he doesn't want to backstab anyone, and a minute after he enters, TTS comes through "LETTY, HIDE THE BOOK!" and Jon realizes (after like 15 seconds lmao) that Letty has the Simmons book.
 
8:07PM BR1
Jon confronts Letty and Sylvia
He says he isn't going to be a part of any lying, backstabbing, or manipulation.
Then he says some schizobros live normal lives and you'd never know they're schizo.

Jon departs saying, "I'm doing it my way"
 
Ben talked to Jon about why he's "ignoring his schizophrenia". Jon claims that "a lot of people with schizophrenia have normal lives", and he wouldn't be able to handle acting the same way Vance did yesterday. Ben said he should explain that to everyone else.

He then moves to Bedroom 1 (interrupting Simmons Book Club) to talk to Letty and Sylvia about it. Adds that he doesn't want to participate in backstabbing and he'll try to "be honest" with everyone from now on. Letty claims she has "friends who are schizophrenic" so she understands.

After he leaves, Sylvia said she thinks Jon's getting out next since he's not taking the challenge seriously. Letty counters by saying Damiel's fucking up more often, but she agrees that something fishy is going on with Jon, likely because he's a "fan favorite".

Sylvia also speculates that Vance is the plant, claiming he's too "put-together" and saying he lies about too many things. Letty still thinks it has to be Damiel. Both reveal to each other that Vance has tried to ally with them at different times, and Letty already knows that Vance is a snake. Sylvia admits to Letty that the others, including Vance and Damiel, want Letty out next, possibly with the exception of Josie since she just seems to be "going along with it". Conversation is interrupted by all the cams going down.

After cams go back up, the girls are talking about their own popularity. Both claim they're upset with the way Jon is being treated by TTS and by Damiel (especially since he has autism) but they're not saying anything publicly because they're still competing against Jon. Both are also aware they're getting hate from the audience for talking shit behind peoples' backs, especially after the "snakes" comments from yesterday. Letty says "it's part of the game: you've got to try to be nice to everyone, but someone's got to go." Sylvia tells Letty she might get more people to like her if she opens up and talks more about her life.

Both know Jon and Josie are fan favorites. They believe the producers are going to keep Josie around until the end and eliminate her right before the grand prize. Letty says Josie is "sweet and innocent", while Jon just "want to be accepted by the guys". Sylvia thinks Jon is annoying and doesn't try with the challenges, but Letty argues he's "trustworthy".

TTS calls the two of them snakes, but Letty argues she's being honest: she's upfront that she doesn't like Damiel, while she likes Josie and Jon. Letty calls Damiel a "man-baby" and a "retard" who can't control himself, while Sylvia is annoyed he's supposedly missing the birth of his child. Letty claims she wouldn't try to ally with Damiel even if Sylvia and Jon were eliminated.

Throughout all of this, TTS messages have been alternating between complementing and insulting them. Letty agrees with a message saying her haters are "ugly", adding "the people who like me are very handsome and beautiful".

Jon telling the cameraman that he's playing a "chill" schizophrenic. Shut up baby ur just afraid of looking dumber than you already do.
 
I mean, not everyone has to follow the Vance act. There are a lot of creative ways to be schizo without going as hard as Vance. The competition isn't be the best schizo - its stay in character. I wonder precedent Jon's moral stance will set.
 
How come Jon manages to be schizo most of the time, but when he's told to be a schizo, suddenly he can't do it?
 
Jet thinks
I'm about an hour behind in this thread right now but I needed to respond to this. Jet doesn't think. He does what Sam says. When Jet says "this is the most epic moment in Fish Tank so far." It's because Sam said it was funny. When he says he wants to bring in extra contestants or do something retarded it's because Sam wants him to. He literally just copies Sam down his word choice and mannerisms.

If there is a season 2 they have to address these problems and have a legitimate game plan upfront. Sam isn't even paying attention to this project. He just listens to like thirty second breakdowns once or twice a day.

Jon performs better when things come naturally to him, it's clear that with something broad he can take it and run with it but when it begins to limit his creativity (schizophrenia) he dies down it's also clear he has a bi-polar content creation cycle

The freeloader idea had already been planned from the start. The original idea was that as contestants got eliminated they'd populate the house with annoying randos. Jet mentioned this in a Twitter space when the site went down the first time.
They obviously didn't plan for it to happen this early but then the Simmons thing happened and Mauro left.
The problem is they had ideas but didn't plan ahead to ensure they're ready to go. That's retarded. They should have had four people ready to go, in case someone dropped out and then for this exact reason. How are they on Twitter right now trying to decide what to do and asking for volunteers lol. Horrible planning.
