Why is it cool for Fatty to walk around naked and lust after women but Betty flashing her tits once got her brought down to the basement?
Look, you saw what Chris looked like naked, we all (unfortunately) did. He's so fat that you couldn't even see his junk, and the rest of him didn't even look human. Is it really nudity if you can't even tell what you're looking at?

In all seriousness, I think there's a few factors:

1. Betty was wasted when she flashed her tits, Chris wasn't when he decided to flash his fleshy square ass and micro penis.

2. Betty didn't clear it with the staff beforehand, so I'm sure they were freaked out that she might start doing other shit without clearance. According to Sam and Letty, they clear everything they do before hand, so (I'm assuming) everyone was briefed on Chris being naked.

3. Even if it hadn't been cleared with Chris, I'd still argue it's different because everyone knows who Chris is and what his "brand" is (Being gross and obnoxious), so it's not really unexpected. Also everyone got to know him much longer in the house compared to Betty, who hadn't been there long before she was already doing panty shots and getting wasted. Anyone sane would look at that and start sweating bullets, worried that Betty is going to start stripping on camera or something and then later cry about how she was too drunk to consent. Sam made the right call keeping her away.

Because the only one able to see his dick was Vance when Chris woke him up with his gunted crotch in his face.

However it is arguable that Betty didn't show tits because she doesn't have any.

Josie is doing an unannounced stream.

edit: There is no big secret, it was used for a fakeout ending. Watch if you wanna watch Josie.
She mentioned she'd be staying in Rhode Island for "a week or two."

Josie did an oopsy after the stream ended.

Context: Earlier today after the Letty stream Jet said that there is no streaming contract and the girls get all the paypig money. Once Josie finished this stream she tweeted the following.

I like Joeyy just because he was a good producer on PGL and knew when to be quiet. Chris replaced him and the show is marginally worse because he keeps derailing conversations with uninteresting crap. Does Joeyy still work for Sam? Seems like he hasn't been involved in anything for a long time.
Lol this is fair.
With Joey running the show it was a lot smoother. With Chris or Laker directing, they always mess up the videos and are constantly berated by Sam, kind of Sams fault for hiring drugged out retards, but oh well.

Jet is courting this squaw but I think they are both too autistic to realize it.

I figured they were parading josie and letty infront of the cameras to wring as much cash out for sam&co as they can before their 15 minutes have totally waned.
 
More gigabrain stuff below...

I think we all agree that Simmons and also the way Simmons and Mauro left fucked the show up a bit, it spilled blood in the water and turned the audience against the cast too fast, put all the contestants into survival mode, and messed with the pacing.
Jon leaving definitely messed with what Sam wanted, he was saying on the day 0 stream (the one I watched for the first time from a stupid angle because I was watching the archived cameras the other day) about how some manosphere books are good but grifters like Andrew Tate are terrible.

I think some perfectly crafted, no plumbing issues, no WP2 distraction, no dox version of fishtank would have seen Jon convert off Tate and become a son of Hyde through his vigilant attention. But Jon made himself into a nail to hammer by catching everyone's attention. I think based on Letty's audition they wanted to run her out early, because she talked about hating men, but turned out to be more mercurial and measured than they expected. Sylvia was an early target based on the stuff Jet can be heard saying in the basement about how Dam can target Sylvia for bringing checked luggage and how Sylvia was replaceable because they got dozens of insta thots applying. They definitely had an arc for Vance that maybe didn't pick up until later that he also seemed to reject which is sort of funny- Cominos was always pressing him to find a brand and be original and before the end of the menace challenge Sam says blatantly that Vance needs to "think outside of the box more," I think they wanted to see him learn to be funny without being derivative, and he sometimes was, but they couldn't draw it out of him.
Unfortunately I think, like I said, some of the arcs got derailed when the fish seemed to learn keeping your head down and out of trouble was the meta this season.

Simmons was a complete tool of the show and survival mode shouldn't be something to fuck up

He was, but they should have given him a different exit that made it seem less like Sam was going to rip them all a new one for being weird. Like, do a Big Brother-style vote at the end of the week and let the pedo-bashing go for one more day and really angle the fish against him the day before. And maybe don't share the books with the fish until the day after.
Survival mode is bad because it discourages risk taking and rewards boring fish. You can have people in the house who get bored and put the sofa on the island, or you can have people who meet Frank and say "wouldn't it be funny to spray Letty with fart spray? You should do that. No, I'll watch." On Day 1 Sam tells the fish to always be wary of the fact that the audience wants to be entertained and that they need to be thinking of that all the time, and instead they became wary of the producers and being made into the butt of a joke.

There's been no money gained from anything done on the girls' respective channels so far. Jet said he'll set up Streamlabs for Josie's next stream since chat kept asking how to give money. The goal has been to get them monetized on Youtube which they both should be now but it takes awhile for Youtube to approve it.

I will go back and include this in the original post as well but it's worth noting Josie said she'll be sticking around Rhode Island for "a week or two." She's in no hurry to go home, it seems.

I know we've been making this joke nonstop in the chat but I need to make it here in the thread - if Vance had known that the unwritten reward for placing first or second in Fishtank was to spend 3 weeks chumming around with Sam he would have thrown the chair with Josie attached down the stairs when he had the chance. He would have dragged her limp body across the kitchen and called it the trail of tears. He would have farted on her corpse and called it the colors of the wind. And then he would have covered her with a smallpox blanket.

When he was the first to shoot in WP2 of the fish he was like, giddy. Letty kept asking him where he went that day and he wouldn't say, so she had him go into the bathroom in B4 and he was practically skipping and holding his cheeks on his way back out while she was like "Oh my goood, wowww..." Little did he know even Sylvia would eventually be in it.

He was fooled into thinking the grand prize was $35k and go home but if Josie had ever clearly explained to him the offer they had made her about sticking around and learning to stream he would have dropped the "nice guy" thing and become an animal, no doubt. And we were saying, even if he had taken second or first, they probably would've sent him home anyway cuz they don't seem to think he actually needs this kind of help, lol. He'd turn into Spongebob listing off all the manners in which he is a baby for his Grandma so they baby him and make him cookies, too.

I just wanted to show off what I've been using Shotcut for, I missed a lot of days but using the Racist Cat archive and shotcut I basically fashioned a crude Fishtank emulator. The clips in every room in Racist Cat's archive are all cut at the same places and times so there's no worry about synching the rooms up at all. I just mute and hide the rooms I'm not watching and then unmute and unhide the room I want to move to. I think there's some desync by a few seconds but it's the same desync that was apparent when the show was live.

Some downsides: shotcut is not very powerful and some of these clips are four hours long, it's dutifully putting up with it as long as I just plug the clips in and remove them as I go, but my dream of making a "perfect cut" is pretty much dead unless I convert 1,488 hours of MKVs into MP4s so that Vegas will play nice with them. Not happening, lol.

edit: some more pre-arrival junk, they talk about taking Sylvia through a McDonald's drive thru and then yelling at her for bringing food into the house, and spamming the Snack fishtoy at her. Jet then says production has to be nice to her but that they will be buying snacks and pretending it's the audience, lol.

edit: clip i mentioned in sneedchat



final edit: I used Shotcut for all the pre-arrival day 1 stuff and so far it's been perfect for it, so if you're weird like me I would highly recommend this method if you want to see a day you missed or a moment you can't find a clip of. I think the final edit of the show is gonna be good for watching Fishtank, the Show, but since most of the clip channels made pretty arbitrary decisions or annoying choices in how they captured things, or probably missed a moment you thought was funny but nobody else liked, this is probably the way to experience a rerun of any given part of Fishtank.Live.
