Sam Pepper is hosting his own bigbrother/fishtank style show, from what ive seen of it, its a total snoozefest. The main difference is theres only 1 fixed camera at a time similar to Gregs show and every person in the house has their own stream running. However they had an Indian as one of the 8 contestants and he got kicked from the show for showing nudes of one of the girls in the house to some of the other contestants (its alleged its revenge porn and she was 17 at the time).

Indians, every single time. Atleast Simbal showed some emotion and pretended to apologetic after being called out for his creepy behavior.
The host Sam pepper said the reason he kicked him was because he was completely unapologetic and Didn't seem to understand what he did was wrong lmao

I hate Jeets so god damn much it's unreal

Everyone having their phones streaming is boring because most people (at least young people) are already glued to their phones in real life, so its just going to feel like a normal IRL stream collab, compared to Fishtank where they're isolated from their devices and have to interact in the real world.

I only know Moxie is there, she is like the only ok IRL streamer who likes Ip2 and the network.
She looks like a blowup doll but shes a good girl.
 
Stream Stars might have been one of the dumbest things Jet has ever done. Not from a quality standpoint, but thinking any of those LITERAL WHOS were interesting or had fans besides maybe a niche group of 200 people.

Their boxing thing wasn't even an amusing disaster! Nobody got hurt or had a screaming argument in the street or got arrested and put in the drunk tank or anything! Absolute nontent.
 
While Sardine Tank will undoubtedly be scuffed, it'll at least have the fish in a house together so we can get some interaction and hopefully some content.
Sardine Tank 1 was the worst fishtank knockoff by far and I've seen all of them. Sardine Tank 2 is going to suck. Bullet points on what made it suck because I've seethed about it in the thread before:
  • Showrunners were Aperture and a tranny
  • It was the embodiment of friendtank
  • Aperture spent half the show ripping his bong on the couch while whining to the camera about people being rambunctious (making content)
  • One girl started picking fights with people and smashing things and was sequestered to a timeout room to "go make content in there"
  • Alex B came in at the end and was the only saving grace of the show, because Aperture thought he would legitimately become friends with him and even invited him to come live at his house
  • Aperture immediately soured on Alex B because he was loud and obnoxious and fucked up the friendtank vibe
  • The tranny and Aperture forbade Alex B from drinking alcohol on the show because he was "too much to deal with"

my dream would be them hiring a woman that is also involved in the creative decisions. For that job Mizzy would be better than Lexi.
While Mizzy is probably funnier than Lexi, if you've seen her streams and attempts at comedy, you should know that she would be awful for the show's creative decisions. The only former fish to actually fill this role well would be Letty, who I think would be superb for production. She did a pretty good job on bitchtank as a producer. Bliccy is another funny woman who instantly filled a "mother" role for all the girls on bitchtank. They absolutely loved her.

I have become very certain recently that Fishtank needs to be a main show with none of this tiresome filler slop in-between. Obviously Bloodgames does not count. What Fishtank needs to be is this unduly high-effort online show focusing a lot on its analogue elements. No phones, no weed.

From looking at the secondary and tertiary community bottom feeding, there is close to nothing to it. Everything hooking itself on to be the Main Show's sloppy seconds is most of the time just sad to watch. Apparently there is money there according to things like the fishtank.observer, but that could just have been spent by the audience on a main show instead.
I really dislike seeing so much of the sad desperation in the FT community rising to the surface during streamstars etc.
 
Streamstars/Magicstars has diluted the brand. It's been very profitable and low effort for the wiggers to run but man does it make the show look even worse.

This is something I've come around on.
Last year's streak of Bloodgames > The Cell > Bitchtank, then two months later we got S3 spoiled me on the idea "This could work." Helped that all inbetween that we got our own side content like Powtank. Yeah it was all varying quality (especially Bitchtank woof) but it was content that I could engage in or had investment in it.
Now? God I really don't give a single absolute fuck about watching nothing. Mexican Fishtank? Biggest highlight were two Fishtank contestants showed up and Ethan Ralph. Stream Stars? Never watched a single second besides to watch Cyro crash out. Magic Stars? Novelty wore off hard, not that there was a lot there (though interesting crossovers which are always fun)
Now we're getting the ultra paypiggy shit for a second season now, this time filled with the same literal whos that got nothing better to do.
It's constant nontent which dilutes the brand. It doesn't work.

Honestly they should've never done S4 and just used those two weeks on Bloodgames 2. Shit is a travesty these days. It's gotten to the point where if they do a Season 5, I'll be thinking the entire time "So how do they fuck this up." I got zero faith in production other than you know my ass is gonna be there Day 1 of Season 5 posting in this thread.

Big time agree.

Same, brother.
It's a little sad but fishtank has become an indispensable part of my online life these last few years and it would take an act of God to prevent me from checking out any new mainline season.
That said, never spent a dime and never going to. Fuck you Jet.

The more you’re exposed to a fish the more dull they become to watch unless they’re put in a unique situation. The thing about actual mainline seasons is there’s (ideally) a constant flow of unique challenges, interactions, and dynamics between the fish to prevent the dullness. Contestants usually bring out the best in each other barring certain conditions. Somebody like Burt was funny on his own when first introduced. But once that initial entertainment of burting off in the middle of the night and psychotic rambling fades, we naturally desire a progression to get the same high.

The more time passes, the more used to each fish's mannerisms we become. But when fish are put together, these mannerisms gain a whole new layer. The action progresses outward into the dimension of social action and reaction. Burt talking about gay shit to the camera is fine on its own, but it's disjointed. It's by itself and once the action comes to pass that's it. But if Burt does that same action in front of another fish we have the impact of the initial action combined with the expected reaction of the fish who witnessed it. Shock, anger, awkward silence, whichever the response is another dimension has been added

Streamstars, Magic stars, and whatever Cell wannabe slop the wiggers create is the purest form of the dull issue. When it comes to streams the fish are entirely on their own. The majority of "content" seen is condensed down into those base actions like Burt being a gay weirdo, or Aryeh being a terminally online autist. Again, on their own that's fine initially, but it gets old fast. You aren't watching retards be annoyed with other retards, you yourself are being subjected to the retard. The streaming environment provides no new stimuli. Even in a Cell ripoff where fish might interact with each other its unlikely that the cast will be unique. And even if that filter is overcome the challenges are all the same, meaning again, no unique situations to combat the dullness.

The fact of the matter is slop you listed is made solely to make money. They are TTS farms. And it is this wiggatry that undercuts even the best mainline season. Why come up with a new challenge with depth when you can have Cell #23 and make more money with less effort?
