I'm done with the show. I was only hanging on by a thread. I loved seeing Rayna and Deacon together. I could tolerate Juliette... but everyone else? nope. I really wish they had left it where they ended on ABC. I just can't imagine watching the show anymore. It's lost its heart.

Wait a minute-- how is this the season finale? I thought there has only been like three episodes (or let's just say that's all I've seen).

I kept holding on for what I hoped the show would be, even though it was trash this entire season. I'm not sad that it's ended, but I do wish we would see some resolution to the storylines. I guess that'll never be. I wish Hayden the best in her treatment and recovery. The way I see it is that she probably came out of treatment to fulfill her obligation, but she wasn't fully recovered yet. Once she realized that the show was over, she decided to check back in. Of course I don't know, I'm just guessing.

I started liking Luke after he sang "If I Drink This Beer". He's turned into a watchable character for me, which is saying a lot compared to what it was like before. I really like Juliette/ Hayden. With all the horrible storylines they've thrown at her, Hayden's proven that she can act her heart out. I've loved that girl since Remember the Titans. What are they doing with Scarlet and Gunner? It's just exhausting dealing with them. You know the writers want them to be together, but they've pretty much thrown every lame scenario possible at them... and now it's beyond pathetic to watch. I don't want them together, I don't want them apart, I don't want them on my screen.. except if they're singing. That's all. Layla is miserable and Avery sorta deserves what's coming since he (and Juliette for that matter) shouldn't be in a relationship with anyone. I mean, it is possible to go 5 minutes without being in someone's face. I'm tired of dealing with Maddie.. I'm beyond tired of dealing with Deacon.. I'm just tired, y'all.

I'm so happy I came here before watching this week's episode. lol I suppose I just need to fast forward to Juliette/Crayla's conversation and then delete? Cancellation at this point would be a relief.

Wow.. This show surprises me at how bad it can get. I love Juliette and all of the scenes with her in it. I have to stop myself from fast forwarding through the rest. I'm not here for Layla. AT ALL. But I can deal with Layla a lot better than Maddie. This whole storyline with Maddie is the absolute worse thing ever. Sometimes I wonder what the writers are thinking. They're clearly not trying to create realistic characters.

Here's the thing I see about Neil-- he is the way he is. A lot of ppl think that he was intentionally closed during the experiment, but I just think that's his personality. He's slow to open up especially when he feels like he would get attacked. Sam proved over and over again (even recently when she touched his face after he told her he didn't like that) that she couldn't be trusted. He probably closed himself as a defense mechanism by instinct, not out of malicious intent. He realized that Sam wasn't the right girl for him (pretty please let him still think that) and he didn't see any need in telling her ahead of the scheduled time they were set to discuss it. It's the classic extrovert/ introvert thing that each one of these couples experienced. Sam/ David/ Trey are all extroverted, exploring their feelings through conversation. Whereas Neil/ Vanessa/ Ashley (ugh) are introverted, not naturally inclined to talking about themselves and what they truly feel. And it goes beyond the experiment-- this is exactly who they are. The problem is that introverts don't (often) make for good tv. They live so much inside of their minds that you can't really gauge how they feel. For most introverts it takes time (way longer than 6 weeks) to truly connect with another person in a deep and meaningful way. That doesn't mean that introverts aren't making progress, it just means that they take time to truly let that other person inside of their inner lives. Unfortunately, in Neil's case, he didn't feel like it was not safe to even try, so he eventually withdrew. That's how I see it, anyway.

This show was so boring without Juliette... I just love Hayden as an actress, and without her, there was a lot missing. I do love Avery though.. I think Jonathan and Hayden are the best actors on the show. I'm pretty sure I fast forwarded through 45% of the show tonight. With focus on all these b characters (Luke's love interest who's name I can't even remember), and the horrible, unimaginative writing that's going on, cancellation seems like a foregone conclusion. I even missed Layla this episode. Layla! I don't even like Layla. I just can't understand how the writers can create such contrived, boring, cliche stories.... UNLESS their hands are tied and the stories are being dictated by focus groups and the production team. Anyway... hated Gunnar's hair. Hate with a thousand suns the name "The Beverly." Why do they keep trying to make that happen? It makes me cringe. Maddie is pretty much a caricature. I'm worried about poor Daphne. Markus (wow, I can't believe I remembered his name) is so boring and predictable. Can't wait until he decides to go back to California.

I do not like Meghan.

This show is getting unbearable. That portrait? Really? It was so unbelievably narcissistic and creepy. I just can't understand how they set the biological dad up as some monster, but then let the kids go stay with him for 2 weeks. What the heck? and then, try to completely erase history and start over again... I wish the catfish had been real. I would've loved for the next season to be about Meri leaving. Now that is must see tv. I wonder if they're going to talk about the affair next week, though. I wonder when it was filmed. Did it occur after the catfish outing? Any idea? Also, shouldn't Meri talk to Kody about it privately (if that is the topic of the conversation)?

Yeah, ShaNaeNae, I'm with your dad. I'm pretty perplexed by Meri's ever-oranging complexion.

Every time I see Gia, I can't believe she's 14. She's definitely "grown" and not an average teenager, but she's been through so much. And I guess she's always veered toward the mature side. Puberty's agreeing with her, though. She's blossoming into a lovely young lady. I just hate seeing her wear those short shorts. But I'd say the same thing about Melissa.

I was extremely disturbed by seeing Aurora holding Kody's hand while going into the Courtroom. It just didn't feel right, and I can't put my finger on it. It's giving me a Mildred Pierce vibe.

I was so bored with this finale. Could see the plot twists coming a mile away. If they break up Rayna and Deacon next season (and I'm sure they will, as y'all have already called it), I'm just gonna stop watching. I'm already pissed that they're taking this route with Avery and Juliette. I'm beyond tired of Juliette always being the problem, always being out of control, never having happiness, never being dependable or trustworthy (her interactions with Maddie notwithstanding). It's just annoying that the writers can't find other ways to make this show interesting without relying on the same soapy, cliche'd story lines that make every character appear one dimensional. *le sigh*

This whole thing with Kim and Kyle is giving me Whatever Happened to Baby Jane vibes, and I don't like it one bit. When I watch them on scene, I'm getting creeped out like I was watching that movie. I don't like seeing addiction and co-dependence on a supposedly fun reality tv show.
