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

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

    Votes: 89 11.5%

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

    Votes: 176 22.7%

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

    Votes: 406 52.4%

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

@Blackstar Was Letty a cutter? The bikini photo you posted, she has multiple marks on her right hand. If she was a cutter I must've missed that tidbit during S1.

After S1 she had a bad time dealing with her new circumstances and was in a really shitty state, taking a shit ton of pills not caring if she'll ever wake up again. She's better now but as you can see she's got scars.

I think there are a few things which were happening around that time which yourself and a few others here clearly must have missed. All the actual signs point to the sudden switch after week 2 having been intentional and desired by the crew, and I don't see anything concrete in your comment which indicates otherwise.

Lowercase I internet said:
My reasons for thinking it was a last minute decision was that during election night Production admitted they were going too hard and it felt like “day 20 pace.”

Sorry but I don't see how this really supports your view that the change was a last minute decision. I thought that admission was simply a statement that the scene ended up feeling more intense than they anticipated and closer to how they were intending the second act to be. Day 20 would be in the 3rd week and the 3rd week was always going to be the second Act (as demonstrated by them switching every 2 weeks).

Did you not see this post Hassle made? The intention was to have the 3 Acts clearly delineated.

There's no reason why they couldn't have let the fish chill out again after the election night for a while and continue with the Famous House concept. The crew also clearly do have some challenges and general themes sketched out in advance, it's not as if the document above is an anomaly - the 'idubbz gaslight doc' with a long list of ideas is another example (and that was for a smaller project than this).

While the reveal was cool, I think they did rush into it.

It also just felt like they cut everything so short. Computer never had a satisfying conclusion and the Ben and Sam tension never built to a peak either. I think they originally wanted to slowly build to a reveal by showing more and more cracks in the system.

Yes it did feel rushed and yes it did feel like they cut everything so short, but it was their intention to make the switch quickly. I also would have liked if they had instead done what you post afterwards with the continued decline, but your claim that it was also what they were originally intending is pure fantasy and speculation on your part, and supported by none of the crew's messaging during the season. They have stated that having a 4th act moving to the RV was the only major scripting issue they had to last-minute adapt to.

Do you not know what a "rug pull" is?!?!

By nature, a rug pull is a sudden switch. Jet deliberately called it a "rug pull". The quick reveal was completely intentional. Yeah they could have let things pan out differently, but all the signs pointed to them having predetermined that end of week 2 = rug pull.

There's one bit that makes it seem like possibly the rug pull happened earlier than originally intended: the Twitter comments that were to be delivered as fan mail were to be written as of famous house was real, but weren't given to the fish until after the rug pull. Either they forgot to give them to the fish, or the rug pull happened sooner than they planned.

The importance of this point is that there was no intensity. The most intense thing that happened on election night was probably Vance being yelled at or a bunch of random costumed dancers appearing. That being day 20 pace does not correspond to the pacing of the show, because as we saw day 15 was already far more intense.

I think you’re too focused on breaking the show down into weeks to find some kind of pattern and you’re putting far too much faith in the wigger’s planning abilities. While the document is interesting, nothing within that document has been revealed. It’s speculation as to what is in it. I think it’s more likely a group of vague ideas.

Again, the wiggers say a lot of things. If they do have plans however, they do not communicate them with the audience. This has remained true since season one. Of course I’m speculating, but I think outside of a document nobody has seen the inside of and some tweets from untrustworthy sources who have an incentive to act like everything is planned out, you’re also speculating. They lie and will continue to do so, it’s in their nature.

Unfortunately, Jet tweeting about a rug pull on Nov 8th isn’t solid evidence that they had a rug pull planned on day 13 from the very start of the show. He very easily could have come up with the rug pull idea in the days prior rather than it being planned all along.

So we seem to be in a bind where the wiggers lose either way. Either they made a last minute decision to switch from famous house to fishtank, likely out of a desire to appeal the pooptank crowd and to make some more money due to tts and sfx limits, OR they had it planned from the start, decided to create multiple arcs that the audience noticeably enjoyed, and made the profoundly retarded decision to go through with a switch, not because it was the best thing to do for the show, but because of the autistic desire to stick to a schedule.

The biggest thing for me is that the wiggers just seem to act on impulse rather than plan.
