The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.
What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.
So Joi is an idiot for leaving, can we all agree on that. You stay for how long, maybe a week, why audition...

So.... no challenges for Joi

It's weird, they have them say "work together" in the intro for this season even though they aren't. Last season they left they out of the intro and they did work together.

So Joi leaves because she does not want the job? ... Well, I guess that is her choice. An unfortunate one but I can understand it. In the first four seasons, they all worked more less independent of each other. It was not until Miami RW5 that they started working together

Kind of a random, drama free departure. Jordan is right in that it isn't about the wage. In the end, it comes down to exposure. That aside, Joi seems to be doing just fine (now). C'est la vie.

Actually Joi would love to do a Challenge according to her Twitter when I asked her a couple of weeks ago. The "work together" part of the Intro has been there since RW5.

I agree with all who are saying that her decision was dumb. But I'm more disappointed that the roommates didn't even try to convince her to stay. They were just like "you want to leave? Ok, bye!"

So I'm guessing Jess didn't continue off to do the military? I thought ROTC students go straight in?

Do they HAVE to find jobs in order to stay in the house. Cause if they don't, then I really don't get why she would leave, especially since it's so early, and they only job hunted for what, a day...
