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

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

    Votes: 177 22.6%

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

    Votes: 408 52.1%

It’s kind of been a tradition that a content driver gets eliminated, leaves the show, comes back on as a freeloader, and is an insufferable dick head who lost all of their original charm. Holding on to them makes sense.

Actually, that's a good point. If they have a content driver, when that person gets eliminated, they need to sit them down in the basement and say: look, it's been great. You've been fantastic. Here's what we're going to do: I'm going to give you your phone. I'm going to watch you call home, call your mom, call your girlfriend. If you give the phone back to me and go right back upstairs you can have 1k a day. If you open Twitter, you can't come back. Deal?

Unfortunately it's iffy both times - Jon wanted to go home, not just call home, and even though Jimmy only succeeded at doing what Fatty attempts to do 3 times a season they didn't trust him in the house and probably had no thoughts of bringing him back at first. But if there's an opportunity it wouldn't be the worst move, to keep them from coming back crazy. I think they also did just want Jon and Jimmy to come back crazy so that they ended the show in disgrace and not as some kind of martyr.

That's Tay, Dunye, and now Jimmy confirmed for Alex tonight
 

There was this little stream after the Spelling Bee because Sylvia got eliminated for spelling "Janitor" "Jntier" and Tyson spelled "Permission" like, "Premism" or something because he has dyslexia and Sylvia dropped out of high school when she was a sophomore. He thought there would have been a point system and she didn't think she would lose that fast so he cancelled on work and she cancelled band practice and they streamed instead.

  • Tyson has a dog now (Zeus)
  • There is a Horse Dick counter because he keeps mentioning horse dicks
  • It's summer in Australia so he is streaming from the gym in his house because it's cooler. Apparently both his streaming room and his gym have a neon green wall because he and his partner both like that color
  • They both wrote down bits to distract the other spelling bee contestants and fucked up instead, Tyson at least got the chance to show the audience his ass crack barf black shit out of his mouth and then pretend to be dead
  • Tyson had a clog in his ear from earwax and almost fainted when the doctor tried to remove it and then decided to quit vaping because he thought that passing out was because he vapes too much... yeah doesn't make sense to me either
  • Sylvia notices a fake Tayleigh chatter and calls them out
  • Tyson calls Jimmy's fight against TJ "ratchet"
  • Tyson only considers Greg and Duany'ay' "proper freeloaders." Thinks Fatty should retire from Fisthank. Fatty was being hypocritical during an interview, saying he would be "independent and look after himself" and then a sentence later said "because fishtank was such a mental strain on me i'm going to get one of my friends to book a hotel for me and get hookers and weed" and Tyson says, first of all do it yourself, second the vacuum cleaner couldn't reach his dick so he's not getting hookers
  • About Jackie - "what did you expect?!" Tyson wonders if she just booked it to promote her OF and didn't know anything about Fishtank. Sylvia says OF has been her main source of income now and she reinvests the money into her music and prefers it to working in a nursing home. Tyson asks "do you still do it?!" and asks why she doesn't promote it and she says she doesn't like the stigma. She says she was in the top 4% on OF after Fishtank. Says she made more money in a month off of OF after Fishtank than she did on Fishtank itself.
  • She will be touring with Lords of Acid at the end of April. She has 3 bandmates now
  • Lance is surprised at how little money most people finished the show with. Says Greg making 4k is pretty good for 11 days
  • Tyson leaves his mic on and pees on stream and then screams
  • They watch Jimmy's hoarderman vlogs from recently and talk about how they can't believe he's actually trying to clear that house. Sylvia and Tyson both thought he was faking his voice when he came in. They agree he should just bulldoze the house.
  • Tyson asks, wasn't Betty going to help Jimmy - then says "there's more helping her more than helping him......."
  • Tyson is making a video on Mauro and calls him insanely boring, and then a video on Jon. Sylvia says she will share her side on Jon's video and has the deleted stream from Dallas which I'm pretty sure had Jon being a major prick in it. Says "I don't even know how he's a real person" Says in Jons video with Turkey Tom he said he was feuding with people to sell merch but the way Jon apologizes afterwards is so fake that it doesn't matter why he's doing it and doesn't explain why he is always bringing Sylvia up.
    • Says people keep sending him things about Jimmy, and he's even reached out to Jimmy, because he was going to do a video on him. But the stuff people send is "a bit of a reach." Says he "can't justify" the things Jimmy did in the house and they're "unacceptable" and "to some level, Jimmy understands that."
    • Says the fans don't understand is the house brings the worst out of you. Damiel was a plant "but I was ready to fuckin trade blows with him, and I don't fight at all, so." Sylvia says she felt the same with Letty and Chris, and had to mentally withhold herself. Sylvia says she wishes she could have destroyed the house like s2 contestants did because that would've helped her keep it in
  • Tyson says he hopes they don't rig the next season because the last few challenges are always so rigged. Sylvia says it was hard to watch even though it made sense for the season

Been thinking about it, do the eliminations really even add anything? Would it be better if in future seasons, being "eliminated" just means they're out of the running for the grand prize, but still are allowed and encouraged to stay to the end as freeloaders, with a smaller extra payout if they do? Trish getting her mojo back after becoming a freeloader brought a bit of energy and good vibes back to the house, whereas booting people off and having less personalities around only makes it worse

I honestly would like season 3 to have zero elimination challenges. Contestants should convince each other to leave on their own or manipulate each other to get kicked out of the show. If there's more than 1 contestant by the end of season, nobody wins the grand prize.

The biggest problem with that is that it's basically implementing Survivor Jury throughout the entire length of the game. Trish had a bit more mojo when she was eliminated but she was also HARDCORE fellating TJ and pressuring Shinji to service TJ too. She even offered to give TJ a signal when Tayleigh was coming to pay for her services, as staff, so he could mug her, but that never came to fruition because Tay only opened her chips in the bathroom.
When Jimmy came back he was doing the same thing. If TJ hadn't rung the beef bell on him for whatever reason he wouldn't have let TJ or Trish have a moment of rest.
Jon was the same, just single-minded against Letty. Mauro's the only one who wasn't really like that because he quit the show himself but he was in service to Letty for most of the time.

It'd add a deliberate strategy to the game, trying not to be the reason someone gets eliminated or else they turn into a targeted missile aimed at you.

I just don't really see how this is that different from regular freeloaders doing it already, like Duanye gunning for Trish, Britney fucking with Jimmy, or (to go back to season 1) Frank focusing on Letty.

I watch this FOR the chaos and consider the bullshit nature of it, with the rules not mattering and the 'game' being unclear and arbitrary, part of the fun, not a flaw, and even though I'll have someone I'm rooting for I don't really feel any investment in who wins it all, but I'm beginning to realize I'm in the minority with this.

Boxing would like a word

Karate sessions sure, the boxing matches itself were fine. I would go so far as to say that the boxing stuff was a net benefit for TJ, but an overwhelming benefit for Tay because it gave her an outlet for stress and boredom. Once she picked the boxing up for real and started practicing in her own time she became extremely stable and difficult to rattle because she could both punch holes in the wall with softball and do her boxing training. I don't think people really understand how effective athletic training can be for focus and emotional stability.

Now that I think back on it, the boxing stuff is probably what opened up Tay to speaking her mind and coming out of her conflict averse shell more than anything.

I immediately tuned out during the karate lessons. Scott Sullivan I'm sure is a nice guy but is about as uninteresting as they come. I don't think he did a single funny thing on the show. The boxing matches on the other hand were some of the highlights of the show I mean the match between TJ and Jimmy is easily top 10 moments.

I did the same, about the only training thing I'd leave on my leftmost monitor largely unwatched was Tay's shadowboxing using the B3 mirrors solely because the TTS was able to harass her and sometimes Shinji would have conversations with her while she did it. There really aren't many clips of people training for a reason, its just boring watching someone repeat the same action over and over.


I can get the reasoning behind the Karate, Boxing and other physical training, its good for the fish as an outlet for their stress and physical exertion is good for their health, but I felt that the boxing had a backblow effect that made the S2 cast way more willing to resort to physical force to resolve disputes and this carried all the way towards the finale with TJ trying to organize a mugging of Tay no less than 3 times. First when she was showering, then with Oliver and finally with Trish giving a signal while she was a NPC. Tay seriously wanted to box Fatty when he rang the bell and we can't forget that Greg kinda picked up on this atmosphere when drunk and slapped the shit out of Shinji which hardly drew a reaction from the other fish like Tay or TJ who had became desensitized to violent behavior over the show. When Mauro slapped someone full force in S1 it drew a lot of condemnation, when Greg did it to Shinji it was largely shrugged off.

GREG UPDATE THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Edit: theres not really much new presented. He confirmed he only got 4 grand for the 11 days. IDK if its just me but he seems really uncomfortable talking about it. half of the reason Id imagine is because he had to find clips where people aren't saying racist shit every 5 minutes. I wonder now that he has publicly acknowledged this what will happen with his channel.

It's not just you I also got the impression he was uncomfortable during the video. I think Greg is anxious parts of his audience will flip out and do the typical "YOU WORKED WITH THAT NAZI SAM HYDE??!?!" shit.
