>>20043327>If they hadn't lost 4 fish in such a short time it might have worked. They could have skipped the pleasantries and went straight to HELLHOUSE, but had to baby them while stemming the bleeding with a revolving door of freeloaders.Hellhouse fucking sucked and made the back half of the show a fucking miserable slog since it just made the S2 fish angry, standoffish and uninterested in socializing with each other, every roleplaying skit was just halfassed since they were exhausted from lack of sleep and being malnourished. Hellhouse fucking sucks and each season they leaned into it proved as much. Putting
Letty into cringe and awkward situations was far more entertaining, anyone can watch this clip of Letty and laugh at her facial expressions, even if they never watched the show, only a complete fucking loser would get enjoyment watching a clip of Frank literally choking/throwing her by the necklace she was wearing.
>Should have been cash prize challenges from the very start, and you forfeit all or most of it if you leave of your own accordThen it just pays to fuck off early when they start going hard like JC did. You literally have the fucking dynamic backwards you fucking retard and this is EXACTLY why Shinji decided to walk when the steal $4k challenge came up. If you're going to get fucked over on prize money then it doesn't pay to invest into the show at all. Feeding negativity into the contestants just breaks them and makes them not give a fuck.
>>20043426>but the community was already hatemaxxing Tay anyway so not much changes thereThis was artificial by production, Tay was basically 40-50% of the fanbase for fishtank by that point because Shinji fell off so hard. The chip theft just reinforced why people loved Tay as a contestant, she actually DID shit aside from what production scripted. The chip theft injected so much fucking tension into the final day that otherwise would have been flat and boring.
