“I’m Alex. I’m a Political Science Major and I want to show my parents that I can get through 60 days in jail without needing their help…”
This dude can’t even figure out how to follow instructions on how to DUCK, but he’s going to show his parents he can make it through jail. If he wanted to prove himself to gain his folks’ respect I would think he could do something like . . . . get a job, pay his way through college, etc. Instead he’s likely going to shit the bed one or two days after intake, hahahhaa!!!
Hahaha that is a great quote…“I should have just stayed a fan”…watching that dudes downfall will be golden…
And yeah getting back to basics was the only way to save this show…I gotta believe there must have been some backlash to last season…whereas last season was a chore to get through,I am chomping at the bit for a new episode of this current season…we will have to get through another episode of them admitting the other participants and then its all systems go…and from what I’ve seen so far,this jail seems like the most gnarly one of the series…
Yeah, I totally agree with all of that too. Last season was only bearable because we got to share in the misery and at least laugh at our suffering, but getting through each week was like rushing through homework assignments that I put off until the last minute.
But I’m completely fiending on this one, counting the days until my next 60 Days fix.
The briefing/intake episodes used to be really tedious, but they move so much faster now because they start putting 'em in jail right away. And there’s little of the dumb background/homefront bullshit.
And the jail does look like Hell on Earth. Other facilities had a few wild card crazies and/or nasty motherfuckers, but for the most part, the inmates had a fairly structured system, and even sorta helped the new cons integrate. This next one just looks like evil anarchy and it seems to be something that just sort of exists in spite of itself.
Yeah, I intentionally ignore all the fake hints too, haha! Almost to the extent where I take everything as the opposite of what they show. Oh, looks like Gary is gonna tap out? I guess he’ll be staying for a while!
Holy shit. Doughboy2.0 melted like butter on the sun.
What a bitch. I guess I’m at least happy to see he’s properly ashamed of himself, but still . . . what the fuck??? Couldn’t even get through intake?
And Private Pile’s cover story lasted a good 10 seconds before an OG peckerwood popped it like bubblegum, hahaha. THE FUCK!!! He just tapped too? This is our Marine Corp? Fuck that guy.
Action Jackson is really comin’ in hot. He’s gonna get chopped down hard if he doesn’t tuck that big swingin’ dick back in his pants and settle the fuck down.
I’m really blown away by just how completely WORSE this place looks from any other jail in previous series. The prior pods just seemed to have a functional stability, despite the bullshit of jail. And they tried to maintain an order and peace. Prior seasons you’d just see dudes hanging out at tables together, some playing cards, some watching TV. They even seemed generally “happy” most of the time. But this just looks so fucking chaotic and crowded. There’s no rhyme or reason to anything. Just scary angry motherfuckers everywhere.
And the layout of the place . . . . the guard desk is just open and exposed like it’s a fucking library or something. Is anyone else completely confused by that?
Blondie is doing alright. She’s connecting with her cellmate and layin’ low. But holy shit, they are really trying her with that no clothes bullshit. And the filth aspect of this jail is really grossing me out. Wearing some dirty ass clothes from God-only-knows how many other dirty-as-fuck people soaked with their ass and armpits and then getting to sleep in BLOOD STAINED dirty sheets. No lie, that’s the type of shit that would probably make me tap out just as much as getting a screwdriver in the neck or a big dick in the ass.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Watching again, or at least until I fall asleep.
Doughboy2.0’s conversation with his wife was so embarrassing. She talks to him like he’s a retarded 5 year old. “It’s okay, Honey. If you can’t do it you can’t do it. You just come home.”
I wanna see Action Jackson get taken under the stairs, but I’m holding back my scorn and trying to root for him since motherfuckers are droppin’ like flies and I need to root for someone, hahahaha.
Wow. Well, it seems like we got our “never before” moment. Someone tapped out before even getting in! Now, that’s a bullshit technicality because that one season, dude tapped out while still at the hotel. But, this season is a mess. They’re all going to tap out!
And yeah, I agree, this place looks like hell. No structure or hierarchy. Fat, dumpy guards just sitting out in the open like a librarian.
I hated the Quarterback first episode, but it looks like he’s toughest one. Damn.
Wow I predicted in a earlier post that at least 2 participants would tap out but I had no idea it would be by the 2nd episode!!! I meant over the entire season…
Doughboy 2.0 was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen on the show(and that includes the youth pastor weirdo)…that was pathetic, dude…when he said he hated himself all I could think of was yeah so does everyone else…the talk with his wife was so cringe inducing it was almost unbearable…
The other tap out dude was only slightly better…at least he got processed but still bad…corrections officer and ex military went out like total pussies…tough to watch
Action Jackson(perfect name for him) is a pain in the balls but at least he has an approach…he isn’t scared,that’s for sure…
Blondie story was pretty rough…could you imagine being in that place with no fucking clothes??? Holy shit…making make shift bras out of a bloody bed sheet…made me wanna root for her…
These inmates just raided the fucking commissary of god damn razor blades that the CO just let fucking sit there…yay!!! Free for all on razor blades…what could go wrong?
This is gonna be a real good season…the jail is so fucked up and feels the most authentic of all seasons…its gonna get dirty…
Going back to what Dj-Pon3 and I were ranting about earlier and Acid expressed frustration at…
Not only was it a deliberate cheesy red-herring fakeout with the “something that’s never happened before!” teasing. THEY STRAIGHT UP FUCKING LIED ABOUT THE WHOLE FUCKING PROCESS/ PROGRAM.
“You can’t tap out in intake. We can’t do any thing about it, we can’t see the signals and can’t respond. Everywhere else is cool, though.”
Then…
“Chief, Fatty McButterball is tappin’ out while in intake.”
“Okay. Send in a camera team to awkwardly take him aside for an interview and then we’ll contrive some bullshit story about messed up paperwork to explain why 15 minutes later he just gets freed with no fucking rhyme or reason.”
I think I still hate that dumb hotel tapout youth pastor more, though. Not because he didn’t even get to intake but because he was such a fucking LIAR about it. Doughboy2.0 was embarrassing as fuck and really jeopardized the program, but (reluctant partial credit) at least he’s honest. Or sorta honest, I should say. I really hate when these assholes use their families as a shield. “I was just thinking of my wife and kids and that’s all that matters. I want what’s best for them.” What’s best for them is to NOT have the head of the household turn out to be an absolute cowardly piece of shit sissy.
You weren’t thinking of your family. You were thinking of shower rape and a pencil in the eye. It’s okay to admit being scared of that stuff. We ALL are. That’s what makes the show, Bitch!!!
In fairness to producers, dude looked like he was about to have a heart attack. They’d probably been instructed by the Chief that taking anybody out during intake would be very suspicious. I think it would be. Turns out the dummies he’s got working in that area didn’t notice. Speaks to the failures that are already present and obvious of this particular jail system.
Oh I still hate youth pastor more…and by that I mean probably more than almost anyone in history…I’m just saying that doughboy 2.0 is in the neighborhood…and yes the whole using the family as an excuse is the absolute worst…the wife was probably ecstatic this putz was gonna be gone for 60 days…he probably threw the biggest monkey wrench in to her life imaginable…
It was kinda gross, but it actually kinda endeared me to her. I liked that she was making some jokes about it because that really was awkward as fuck for both of them and I thought her acknowledging to her cell mate how it was impacting them both and also lightening up the mood was pretty classy. And her MacGuyver style fashion line was rad too.
Yeah,right? I was pretty sure I was done with this shit had they continued in the direction they were going…it went from being a total chore to something I anticipate on a thurs night…
You guys got me watching this season too after your talk of make shift bras, bloody vaginas, and losers tapping out in holding. So I’m caught up waiting for thursday too.
I thought it was very telling of the racism in that part of the country when the only people that the sheriffs asked at introductions if they had ever been to jail for real were the two black contestants. fucked up!
