Betty trying to get people to cut themself? The same Betty who was trying to say Greg was a pervert just a week ago?
Imagine my shock.

I’m guessing she feels a little left out or feeling post Fishtank depression.

Hopefully she gets off the Internet for a bit and stops cutting for attention (bc regardless of what she says, if you take pictures and share them, you are doing it for attention).

I mean some of her chat members are discussing the concept of sexing her while she's right there to read the messages. I think cutting is the least of her worries right now.

The whole thing was revolting and I had to leave after a while. I’d planned to take more screenshots. I don’t have the stomach for self harm pictures.

Eh it’s par for the course. It’s all connected you know. She’s not been doing well recently from what I’ve been able to gather (change in posting frequency, types of posts, general negativity (more than usual), reacting to her followers differently, etc.)
This most recent telegram is simply an extension to her desire for validation (or at least attention), which comes from sharing her “talents” (self-harm) and also can come from being objectified even if the context and those doing it are abhorrent.

So all that to say, I don’t think it is the least of her worries, it is a symptom of the very thing she should be worried about and fix, then maybe she’ll have enough self respect to ban, moderate at least, or just go back to X and stop allowing herself to be clowned on like this.

She licked Frank’s boots, without questions and willingly gave him her panties. That comes off as desperate more than anything.

You are simply repeating what production told you, not what actually happened.

If Jet came up from his basement looked into the camera and told you how great it was that in the beginning Tay was so afraid of Frank that she licked his boots, and then she grew so much that she ended up being the fish that fought back the hardest against Frank.
She ended up taking no shit from him.
Would you believe it?
Not to mention all the fake Nazi shit.
Click to expand...
You know it's fake Nazi shit, because production told you it is.
How does production know what is inside Tay's own head?
There is nothing that happened during the show that demonstrated that she was not racist or far-right or even a national socialist.
"Fake Nazi cringe" was a meme production made up.

TJ was at the bottom at the start of the season because he was giga-retarded, prancing around, swaying like a metronome, back before he was compulsorily socialized by his presence on the show.
Click to expand...
Yes, production kept repeating that over and over the entire season until most people repeated it.
TJ is exactly as giga-retarded as he was before the show.

The only real difference is that he was bald at the end.

Did TJ confront the Lubecooch problem?
I remember all he had to say for himself was "No, that is another Lubecooch, not me." So no growth at that front.

He was unable to make his own decisions at the start and was unable to make his own decisions in the very end.
It was always production or TTS that told him what to do. The last day TTS kept called him automaton for a reason.

TJ didn't stop moving like a sperg because he grew or overcame something; he actively forced his hands down or behind his back, and any time he forgot to do it, he would swing them around.
TJ also talked and acted as retarded in the end as he did on day one. Just look it up.

This perception is a combination of people getting used to his weird demeanor, him getting more comfortable and less stressed with the fishtank and the people in it (especially Sam), and him actively trying to suppress his arm movement, which just had him stand there like a complete mongoloid with stiff arms fully extended downwards and a strained look on his face.

That story that TJ went from a weirdo to a man is what Sam and production wanted (the grand story arc) and what they gaslight themselves and many of the audience into believing.

@Aristides @Lowercase I internet But please show me how he grew, anything besides people saying he grew, that he actually changed in any significant way.

You must all believe TJ was much more retarded in the beginning than he actually was.
Exactly the same as in the end but with long hair.
He even stops rocking like a sperg in the video once he becomes more comfortable with the situation.

TJ is a 22-year-old man who is physically meek, a mental midwit with the charisma of a wet towel.
He has a porn account featuring incest, pedophilia, and zoophilia.

Reality isn't a Hollywood movie; the weirdo freaks are not beautiful on the inside. I think Kiwi Farms should have demonstrated that to you.

I can't understand why Jimmy is doing a photoshoot. Clearly his fifteen seconds of E-fame is over and the only people who celebrate him is a handful of sickly dweebs on Twitter.

Instead of trying to milk his embarrassing stint on FT, he should just get a regular job and get some stability in his life as no one is going to care about an autist who has spent the last two months trauma dumping and throwing up nazi salutes for a scrap of attention.

They kind of did - Jet said on the show that he thought the sharks were kinda cringe. I, personally, really like the sharks.

The Sharks were a fun idea but it ended up being lame. Uh oh here they come to dump the trash out again!!

One of the sharks hid a stop watch in someone's bag and then ominously signed to the camera that it would go off in two minutes. It was immediately found and when the alarm went off it wasn't even loud. That was the type of dumb shit the sharks did.

I love the concept of sharks, yeah they are a little goofy sometimes but it creates a layer of separation between the contestants and production.

I think they should, if/when S3 rolls out of the hanger to have Sam exclusively interact, face to face, with contestants infrequently and only within the confines of status updates as well as challenge announcements, etc.
The rest of staff should be faceless and silent. The least enjoyable parts of this season was when the contestants would be negotiating with staff, clearly because they were comfortable with doing so. You can’t bend the rules or negotiate with a set of costumed, faceless individuals who will not speak to you.

My schizo sense is telling me she wasn't fired; TJ is ghosting her so she's deploying woman tactics to not lose the retard. If so, good for him, he can now get better than a goblin whore who was paid to humiliate him.

Taylor was never an actress and I don’t know why people still believe she was. She’s already said a dozen times that she wasn’t and the way she’s been acting should make that pretty obvious.

The sharks were fucking hilarious. Half of the best antics in S1 were from the sharks.
So of course Jet decided to stop doing it for S2, because S2 was just the polar opposite of S1.

When in the season did he say this? I must of missed it.

I think the failure of the sharks is another production issue. Seems silly to use them again at the start of S2 then yank them. That sort of thing sort of thing should be sorted in pre production. And if there is an issue with them, sit down and work out the guidelines and rules of how they'll be used in the show. It's sort of like the challenges in the show where production thinks "oh wouldn't it be funny if like..." and they don't test things out, define the rules and work out the bugs before deploying. Instead they throw shit at the wall and when it fails someone from production just says "ok, stop. This bit isn't working".

TJ seemed to genuinely believe Taylor fell in love with him.
Taylor is an e-thot, she wants clout and money.
Frank or Brian probably told TJ that Taylor is not good for him, and like the good boy he is, he does as he's told.

I believe she will manage to get to him because the TJ-Maxxers are mostly self-inserts that are as sharp as TJ himself and will encourage him to get together with Taylor.

She will waste his money. Fishtank is over, and there isn't much clout to be had, so she will leave the weirdo pretty quickly.

Typically I would say "just get off the internet" but for Zoomers that grew up with the internet and were taught that its a necessity of life, I don't think the solution would be as simple as telling them to go off cold turkey. Not to imply that that was what you were getting at.

Production told him to think it...

in all seriousness though I think these were just narratives the fanbase came up with and production just rolled with it until it became something bigger than it actually was. I'm pretty sure OP is aware that the "growth" is only limited to the confines of fishtank itself. And even if people truly believe it, it is more fun to just let the imagination run wild and go along with the fake narrative than it is to get all pouty and go *grumble grumble* "it all fake". :c

Next season just have the sharks dress up with blank masks that parade around in fancy business suits reminiscent of the corporate bigwigs that Zoomers are so anxious about working under. I think it would be much more less approachable than goofy B-movie tier bootlegged Jason Vorhees twinks running around.

The day Brian came back he basically told TJ that Taylor was into him by saying “goblin pussy is real and it wants you hard”. I highly doubt that former /r9k/ user Jet ineptitude would be this competent at creating a romance plot.
