- The bones got ripped off and he tore and artery in his leg? He had internal bleeding? (Jons retarded)
- He got charged like $6000 total from the ~5 doctor visits and Bill sent him like $1800, I think that's separate from what they actually paid him for being there
- Jon is getting awfully close to talking about a lawsuit for those doctor bills

This all checks out with a Grade 3 Hamstring tear. Being ripped off the bone is called an avulsion and in the process there will be a lot of blood internally along with swelling in the leg as fluid builds up initially, both the bruise and swollen foot were visible on camera during the show. If I were Jon I'd be pissed if I had to pay those hospital bills as well, if Jet wants to rawdog the costs for when things go awry that is on him, real productions get insurance.
 
When it comes down to it, Jon's hospital bills are up against a pair of Balencis. The choice is clear.

If Jet were to be replaced who would be the first person to take his place? My dream pick would be somebody like Xavier, but I think if stein could pull back a bit on “loud is funny” and given some direction he could be a good replacement as well.

I think the operation of Fishtank is a pretty delicate mess. Jet certainly does something and I have no doubt that he is dedicated. It would be hard to keep it going at all if he didn't live and breathe the show while it is going on and that is very valuable. I just want to give him his due.
On the other hand the few times we hear about his analysis on the show about what works and doesn't I can not recall ever agreeing with him. recently that voting is good, or liking Brian in S2, the camping arc in S1, etc.
Removing Jet is probably too drastic, he needs to not have final say I think.
For Bloodgames they had a writers-room with goblin and Xavier, someone else, Sodaman too. I don't know if they did for Season 3, I don't think so.
There needs to be something like that for the show to hone in better on what works and how to guide things forward without horrible outcomes.
A few key people who need majority to move on significant actions taken in the house.
 
High quality season 3 animation from Starsandtigers, although im not sure if this is an official animation, starsandtigers has done work for the wiggers before but they seem to like using the shitty animations from their friend tristan.


Heres a promo animation they released before season 3, very high quality stuff.

Luke, Nick, or even Charls would be the perfect replacements. But in all seriousness, I really don't hate Jet nearly as much as the rest of the FT fanbase. Yeah he's got an ego, makes stupid decisions, and seems to not understand what Fishtank is half the time, and he does get on my nerves a lot like everyone else, but the show still wouldn't exist without Jet getting it together every season. It's funny that Jon slobs Sam's knob constantly about the show but Sam wouldn't have been able to get Fishtank rolling without someone else. Same thing with World Peace in 2016, Sam admits that it only happened because of Nick.

Jet just needs to stay in the basement more and I don't mean that as an insult like Jon did at all, I think Jet can be a good director if he wasn't so concerned with getting screen time. How many reality game shows have you seen where the director, not the host, is on screen at all let alone on screen almost as much as the contestants? Zero.

That intro kind of sucks, feels like it was made by simps for making most of the main characters share their "title card" space with nosebleeds, like making Mizzy share space with Smaack and Sneed as if Mizzy was some minor character when the person that made this probably just personally hates her because she pissed off Payton and Binx everyday. Or Alex and Simbal sharing the same space, they deserve their own spots damn it. Meanwhile Payton and Binx get their own grand spots as if they did anything more significant than making coomers horny. Think if s1's intro had Letty share her spot with Mauro and Simmons, and Jon share his with Damiel and Sylvia while giving Vance and Josie their very own spots in the end, it would feel stupid and wrong. It's also way too long. Better art than s2's opening though.

To be fair hosting Jons 40 man orgy on the site would probably perform at a money loss but then again how much is it costing them to stream that stupid fake room shit thats running right now.
 
Oh I forgot in my last episode recap there is an extremely funny moment with angry Ben where he sits Nifty down at the bar and pleads with her to tell her fans to stop calling themselves the "Nifty Niggers" because it's getting the show in trouble and it's great. It's one of those moments Sam and Jet could never pull off because they aren't good enough at keeping a straight face.
 
The wrestling promo was very funny (kinda wholesome idk), wish they would rely more on the silliness of the tank, like they did on bloodgames, then the sadistic puking screaming at each others like schizos shit, i like the conflict, but it should be stuff like Jon being angry for the "gay makeup" not Tay attacking Xavier for some stalker shit.....but that's the Sam hyde way i guess, my fellow artist guys.
 
Jon is right on most of his points except the financials, Fishtank has a lot of money banked from how successful S1 and S2 were and that would probably just make him more furious if he realized they have hundreds of thousands of dollars laying around and they're weaseling him on a 6k hospital bill for injuries he got on the show or refusing to pay contestants prize money. Considering all the expenditures they had for S3 and the lack of TTS its highly probable that it barely broke even, but S1, S2 and Bitchtank were all very profitable for fishtank.

I still think they made a decent bit of money. What fucked them was the whole rejecting TTS thing with "computer" and even after the ruse was revealed, I swear they rejected so many TTS even after multiple fishtank style challenges. I remember when Alex B was in B2 and the wild randy bit started, people were sending him some crazy ass TTS messages but mine got rejected multiple times (at least 4-5 times) even after I toned it down a fair bit.

Rejecting TTS doesn't really lose them any money. You have already paid them when you purchased the tokens, well before the time where you even attempt to send a TTS.

I guess you could argue that there is "lost potential" where rejecting TTS would make users less inclined to purchase more tokens and send more TTS, but I think what actually happens in 95% of cases is that people will just keep rephrasing their message and retrying until it gets through (which is exactly what you described doing).
