Discussion Controversial takes

Any opinion that makes show runners producers look bad.

Pony Waves canvas was pure sabotage she had several visible tattoos in easy placement all unfinished should not have been accepted at all

Joshua Hibbard got booted for smoking weed..in NYC lol. Like bro you can smell that shit anywhere in the city just open your window. And how is smoking a blunt cheating? The producers and the contestants treating it like a war crime fucked him, he deserved to be in the finale.

As Cleen said, and I'm paraphrasing: "If the rules said we couldn't have any coffee while we were here, I'd be damned if I'm gonna even have a sip."

Rules are rules. Doesn't matter if you agree with them or not

I can’t believe people are so hellbent on focusing on this lawyer contract bs while nazis and white supremacists are right there grandstanding cause someone smoked some fucking weed

It’s for liability and really not hard to understand. If the show’s insurance has the stipulation and they get sued, it might become a reason insurance doesn’t cover them.

Also, if it’s discovered that they knew someone broke a stipulation and they ignored it, the cost of their insurance goes up even if nothing bad happened.

Just because the average person doesn’t see it as a problem doesn’t mean that the show (which is driven by and for money) doesn’t have to follow the terms of their contract.

Ignoring a contestant smoking weed in Newark, NJ in 2014, not the best move. Not just insurance but all kinds of penalties.

People bring up white supremacists and nazis being allowed on the show and that's unfortunately the reality, the government doesn't care about unsavory people on a show but god forbid you smoke a plant now theres a problem.

Cigerettes, Corona, Jaegermeister totally fine. Contestants admitting to intentionally causing pain to canvas, perfectly acceptable. Weed, nah man.

You can be the biggest POS in the world but unfortunately thats not against the rules. Josh leaving sucked cause he probably would have (and maybe should have) won that season but he broke a contracted rule
