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

    Votes: 57 7.3%
  • 2 Stars — Pretty bad. Some funny moments, dragged, too many vibe repair days. Barely worth checking.

    Votes: 91 11.7%
  • 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 52.3%
  • 5 Stars — Peak Fishtank / Masterpiece. Non-stop insanity, legendary fish and production, pure chaos

Last time I paid attention to Fishtank was the first few days. I remember Josie being an autist stuck in her own world. Now I see Bam Margera featured and a SWATting. Thread tourist or not, it's sad when we can't laugh at or with retards on the internet. Who's the fan favourite this time before the show got cancelled indefinitely?

For the Simps it's a High School Senior 18 year old Discord Groomed Asian.

Over all the top two contenders are a crack smoking Australian Camwhore(of Greek Turkish decent) and a useless junkie layabout who stole Adderall from another fish directly on stream and is constantly drunk.

havent fact checked this myself, but big if true. 40 year old man threw away a good job to be in the radius of barely legal Asian pussy. money well spent!
Pretty sure he was 28 and finished that residency years ago and is working for some virtual radiology telehealth something or another
 
I have no doubt that the wiggers will bring back the show in some shape or form, but I seriously doubt they'll be able to recover from this - even if they manage to get back into a fully wired house. Jet said it himself in his confessional with Aryeh: days feel like weeks in tank time. I'm paraphrasing, but he basically said Fishtank fans are like people with a "habit" - and after a week without the tank, they break that habit and go back to their lives. Once that happens, it's hard for them to get back into it. That effect is already showing. Just look at the #fishtanklive hashtag on Twitter - it's dead. No activity is worse than doomposting.

As for the Fish themselves, they’ve just had two days (and possibly more) of access to their phones, fresh air, and the real world. Maybe they're locked in a hotel, but probably not considering there's no cameras. Either way, immersion is completely broken. The cracks were already starting to show even before the move to Bunkertank - Direnc basically checked out once she realized the core rules of Fishtank (stay inside, no weed) aren’t actually enforced.

RVTank - unwatchable as it was - would honestly be preferable to this mess, because at least it would’ve kept the Fish in stasis while the wiggers figured their shit out.

It’s over.
I'm most likely done with this season, I'm interested to see what happens when they do come back but it would have to be the most amazing shit I've ever seen in my life to get me to keep watching. Fishtank is a huge time sink and RVtank last season really changed the way I see the show, I watched RVtank and hoteltank 24/7 like I do every season and at the end of it I regretted it because it's not worth it. Like you said, the cracks in this season were already apparent for a long time before bunkertank started, so I've already considered putting this season down already. I'd rather get back to my real life and hobbies at this point.
 
In a weird way this may end up being a good thing. Tensions were already so high in week 2 that it felt like the end of the show. Them cooling off in a hotel for a few days and going through a stressful event together might prolong things a little once the show starts back up.
dog Im actually wondering if they can come back, I thought this season was the best, I loved all the fish. But they already had fish wanting to walk. At least it seemed like Drench was, Aryeh maybe, Ellie said she was always on the ropes. Theyve had a couple days out, its gonna be hard to get them back in. But tbh at the point, Drench vs Freddy was the show since it seemed like he was gonna win. Losing her kills it since everyone else is just passive aggressive at best.
 
Posting the rest of it here.

Bedroom Prison Blues​

I hear the cars a-comin'
They're rollin' round the bend
And I think I ain't been outside
Since I don't know when
I'm stuck in my open prison
And time keeps draggin' on
But those cars keep on drivin'
On to their parties and homes

When I was just a baby
My momma told me son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play online
But I spent a life kept inside
Now I can tell you why
When I see those people have fun
I hang my head and cry

I bet there's nines and tens
Drinkin' in those dives and bars
They're probably drinkin' white claw
And vaping mighty hard
Well I know I had it comin'
I know I can't break free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Well if I left my bedroom prison
If I stopped wastin' time
I bet I'd be a little on farther down the line
Far from my open prison
That's where I want to be
And then all those other people
They will want to see me

Jam session speaking gibberish playing random melodies until I get a song​

Obviously unfinished. Just thought someone might appreciate it. I'm really just happy that I got my drums EQ'd up decently enough for this small room.

Death Letter Blues​

This song is a cover of a cover. Originally a traditional song, the blues musician Son House made his arrangement famous in 1965. Jack White later made a rock version on his second album "De Stijl", which was for a long time one of my favorite songs. This version is something I thought of and recorded in the span of a couple of hours using my cheap low-grade equipment. It is not perfect but I added my take on it.

I got a letter this mornin'
What do you reckon it read
It said the gal you love is dead
I got a letter this mornin'
What do you reckon it read
Said hurry hurry
Cause the gal you love is dead

Well I packed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When I got there she was
Layin' on the coolin' board
I packed up my suitcase
And I took off down the road
When I got there she was
Layin' on the coolin' board

It must've been ten thousand people
Standin' round the burying ground
I didn't know I loved her
'till they began to let her down
I didn't know I loved her
'till they began to let her down
There must've been ten thousand people
Standing' round the burying ground

Oh yeah

Well I folded up my arms
And I slowly walked away
I said farewell honey
I think I'll see you on judgement day
I said farewell, farewell honey
I think I'll see you on judgement day

Video of a snake coming out of my wall accompanied by a piano arrangement that I wrote​

Sounds like the minecraft music quite a bit. This was played on my other piano that I picked up for free, made sometime in the 1960s.
 
No matter what happens, the dynamic has been shifted and can't be recaptured. When the cameras come back on, it's a new show.

Best we can hope for is they locked them all in a hotel room together without tv or internet like they did during s3.
But its been a pretty long time compared to that so who knows especially since elli supposedly accessed instagram.

I agree that the season will be different if it comes back, but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing.

As many people said the cracks were starting to form, particularly with Direnc and Aryeh realising that it's all made up and there are no rules. This gives the wiggers a chance to sit and hash things out off camera.

Part of the fun of fishtank is the relative lack of predictability. Of course certain things are consistent and predictable, but the show is largely one of surprise and chaos. This may turn out to be just another moment of chaos that results in something fun.

Yes, I'm coping.

I think as long as Aryeh, Direnc, and Freddy are still there, everything should be okay. They are the main content drivers that most things revolve around. People say Direnc checked out. But then in the bunker she was pressing Freddy hard for trying to trade resources for beer.
Moments like this can either strengthen or shatter resolve and considering these people came on the show initially with the prize only being stated as $8,000? They are hungry to get back on camera.

virtually every contestant who denounced fishtank eventually came back around to try and leech off of it. Jon is doing it here, Alex B was glazing production earlier today saying "MDE never dies", Ian is now making amends with Jobe and sucking up to the community, i think even Mauro eventually lightened up after markyposting and was gonna do his own fishtank spinoff (lol), etc.

they're all clearly doing it for monetary gain or clout, realizing they missed out an opportunity after going back to their boring, broke lives. Ian is begging for money on discord and trying to find a girl to make onlyfans videos with, its fucking bleak.

The only one that never really came around was Summer, who (not) shockingly now hangs out with known paedophile and serial Fishtank orbiter Steve "Cvatik" Gindler.

They've already had their phones and internet back for 2 days. It's over.
 
It's been over 24 hours since the announcement on Twitter that the show will continue, and they need atleast 24 hours. I guess they needed more than 24 hours and honestly, I am okay with that.

I've been thinking how this could of been prevented, but based on what we know about the season 1 house being listed as a commercial business and illegally housing people in it (that's the reason why they had to leave the S1 house, right?) and the season 2 house being condemned over permits then it really was just a matter of time before the show got shut down. But there's a new person I found out about not long ago, and that's the Bill Ottman guy. From what I see, he's basically their lawyer or advisor when it comes to doing the show and running it legally? If that's true (and if I'm wrong, please correct me,) then he did not do his job very well at all. Maybe Bill's only job is to just legally advise production on what they can and can't do to the fish, and also for him to scare the fish from suing the show. If that's the case, then I understand his role and he's doing it well because, as of now, the show has not been successfully sued yet by any fish.

Giving the fish their phones and allowing them to have a break is great during this time but I do wonder how many of them have seen the opinions and backlash online from fans and are now either scared to be controversial or maybe they know what the fans want to see and can adjust moving forward to win favortism.

Arye was very upset about the Spongebob thing you have to think he has looked into that by now and he may honestly just mentally check out and not want to do anything else in the show that could cause further damage to his online reputation or cause annoyances to the communities he likes.

Will Daniel go from being a simp to a full fledge asshole to all the girls because everyone online said he was nothing but a simp?

I just think when the show does come back on it's going to be interesting to see how different the fish act now since they have had a moment to see how the outside world thinks of them in the tank.

Who wins is the least important thing about fishtank. Watch big brother. The FT “game” is arbitrary and irrelevant on purpose. It’s live action kiwi farms with slightly more poop touching in the form of TTS. The only point is to laugh at retards. That’s it.

I genuinely hate people who don’t understand this.
