With a (questionable) W from James Drake, how would you rate season 5 of Fishtank?

  • 1 Star — Absolute disaster. Unwatchable, boring, production fucked it up bad, the fish were lame

    Votes: 63 7.9%

  • 2 Stars — Pretty bad. Some funny moments, dragged, too many vibe repair days. Barely worth checking.

    Votes: 93 11.6%

  • 3 Stars — Average. Solid entertainment in spots, some good chaos and crashouts, but nothing special

    Votes: 181 22.6%

  • 4 Stars — Really good. Lots of hilarious moments, strong fish personalities, solid content and vibes

    Votes: 413 51.6%

  • 5 Stars — Peak Fishtank / Masterpiece. Non-stop insanity, legendary fish and production, pure chaos

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

Agreed. The terrorist skit is a great example. When they were interviewing him after his team won he said he didn't rehearse because comedy comes naturally.

Josie bowling with a hogtied plushie. Her ramblings with TTS are actually pretty good.

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.

It is interesting that “the best moment in the show” happens to include the crypto guy that’s clearly a Sam idea.

Your best course of action is to encourage the fish to be social, interact with each other, and trust each other. Most of the interesting moments of this whole thing have been seeing how the contestants interact with each other and react to each other. Anything that discourages social interaction between contestants will be a net negative for the show overall.

Even from a sadistic point of view, they fucked it up already. If they wanted to actually torture them, they would've allowed the fish to establish relationships with each other and let them experience the loss and possible isolation when one of their "friends"/positive acquaintances gets the boot. TTS and Sam + the Sharks actually fucking with them would be the icing on the cake. And the Entity currently looks like an afterthought, it was most likely planned to scare the shit out of you in the night and not be Shark+1. It should look like this, for example:

Get a tall lanklet and give him some protection under the suit.
My current opinion is that the first two weeks were so far the best of the show. The reasons were discussed already.

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.

I think the entity is clip channel and commentary bait. If you watch Sam livestreams this is something they do with TikTok’s and other short form content. They clipped a fake Nick motivation clip live on the spot that then when viral.
 
8:29PM BR1

TTS: "It's nice that ur both friends. You both have eating disorders."

Letty laughs and says she doesn't.
Predictably, Hog claims she does and that's why she has so much trouble eating as if anyone is going to buy that she's anorexic/bulimic
 
Josie's definitely come out of her shell a little more. She's much more tolerable interacting more instead of looking like a literal retard fidgeting and wiggling silently off to the side. She did well at the blind challenge, probably the best if Vance didn't go so hard with his. I think Damiel is actually doing decent today with his challenge, the others are fairly boring. I give Vance a pass today since he worked hard yesterday.

I think Letty is good for this thing overall. I hope Sylvia leaves.

Her ED is that she eats her feelings instead of feeling them.
 
Farms went down for me again so here's a late, long, and probably boring info dump:

Day 15 BR 1 8:40-ish PM to about 9:05 PM

Lots of whining from Hog and some serious moments.

Hog is unsufferable. She's leaning into the eating disorder claiming she doesn't like to eat and the hot dog contest was hard for her. She also claims to have spent "so many years" forcing herself to throw up and drink beer all day. Seems to have a realistic afterthought that she is a ham planet and covers by saying that she has always been "curvy" even when she was a heroin addict and her mom is the same way. She gets cocky and says she is definitely going to win. She's not likeable enough to be a good villain and she's too unlilkeable to cheer for as an underhog.


Letty admits to being self conscious and a shut-in who doesn't have people skills. Says she knows she's too skinny and has low self-esteem.

Hog's swine magic seems to be working on Letty as she tries to sucker her into an alliance.

8:52 Jon enters BR 1 to check on his future tard-wife

They ask him about the others and Jon says Vance is taking a bath "because his crippled ass can't take a shower"
They all laugh

TTS taunts Letty about sitting too close Jon and making him uncomfortable. (a reference to her confrontation last night)
She and Jon both laugh

Jon declares that when he finds Simmons book he will destroy it.

8:57 Vance crawls into the room

Letty still doesn't know who put chili on her bed.
Vance doesn't tell her he did it. Is it because it was Lance or is he just being sneaky?

Vance claims he brought the veteran hat with him and weakly says he bought it at a hat store because "i saw it and was like: it's me" when asked why he has it.

My retardation took over and when I looked back Jon was gone leaving Hog, Vance, and Letty in the room.

Hog and Letty leave. Vance says someone really ought to clean up.

Edit: apparently Dam dumped the chili and Vance dumped trash. My mistake.

Probably been brought up already, but how likely is it that Fishtank might get a late TV deal with some network or another during this writer's strike? Realityshit did well if I recall from the last strike 16 or however many years ago. Think Sam being producer and featured host would hinder this?

This could be their second break into [as] which means a break on streaming via HBOmax, they better be rushing in to get a deal made
