If shes funny she could make her money back by streaming.
It should also be said that during the camping arc production was clearly trying to take the remaining fish nudging each one into being the next main character. Oftentimes production is best when they are subtle, and luckily for us and them Letty was a bit of a sleeper fish content wise. The moment she was put in the spotlight by production by being made camp counselor she showed that she had plot driving potential, and it cemented the Letty vs the house arc. Basically production didn’t lose every content generating fish they had season one.
Because giving Chris money and resources while he overeats and continues his weed addiction is reinforcing and enabling behavior that makes him a fat depressed retard. If Sam truly wanted to help him, he would offer Chris an incentive system for losing weight and cardio. He has a pattern of pitying himself for things that he has control over- yet he makes it seem like he doesn't like many death fats. He has control over his eating, he has control over working out, and he has control over quitting weed. Even if fatty didn't agree to it prior to the show- having a fatty intervention on S3 would be a great way to separate Sam from Idubbz, by showing some sort of transformation in Chris. To enhance production value, this could be done Biggest Loser style with a massive scale, dietician, and workout schedule.
Agreed, this is why I don't agree that the camping arc was a content drought. If anything it was probably the most important era of Season 1 since it fully cemented Letty's position against the rest of the house, which would become a major factor going forward. It also introduced the concept of Freeloaders with Simon/Tai, which would also become a staple of the series.
Its high irony that the most intelligent person on the show in the form of Tay ended up getting solid advice from Fatty and she followed it. He did those bathroom pep talks and told her that she, along with most of the cast, had lost weight over the course of the show and Tay took it to heart and started eating 3 square meals, snacks between them, and about 5 protein shakes a day until the finale. There is a dramatic difference between that early picture of her with her shoulder looking very skeletal and the bikini picture at the end where she is at a healthy weight, its one of the few positives out of this god forsaken season that she ended up getting to a healthier place than when she entered.
Or Taylor becomes the female Bossman Jack and streams herself losing all the 50K before running into the next room and screaming at TJ "SHUT UP! SHUT THE THE FUCK UP! GO BACK INTO YOUR ROOM!"
The color in the house really added a lot. They lucked out with finding a house that met their needs (several bedrooms and bathrooms, mother-in-law-suite in the basement) that also had such an incredible aesthetic. The bar, the doors, the fireplace, the bright carpet, iirc all they added for the show was the wallpaper, some paint, and the gooncave. The house itself being utilized like a prop was fantastic and was a lot of fun, even if watching them destroy it felt like watching someone beat their own child.
He didn't start that, Sam did. He just ran with it, either due to explicit direction or perceived direction.
I don't think he wanted to be kicked off, he already almost left on his own but was told to wait on Sam and during that wanted to stay again. I don't think Sam was lying, I think Jet lied to Sam like he did throughout the season. Ben kicked him off on cam and Cole said in one of his streams that when he went to the basement he initially was ready to go but tried to get them to keep him and they wouldn't have it.
Worked out great for Jimmy.
Well you know what they say about a broken clock.
Chris will be dead in five years. Jimmy sadly has a better outlook.
