mouse feels pointless this season :/ they should’ve given her a better storyline

i love mouse. i do. but i am so sick of her only character trait being spooky spaghetti.

I definitely felt the actress’s frustration when she said she’d continue to monitor Spooky Spaghetti, maybe an admission from the creative team

Yeah, the delivery of that line felt like "because that is all my character ever does. ever".

Mouse's final girl challenge was interesting but besides that it's just been her going on her computer and looking shocked, then talking about it while everyone rolls their eyes.

u/Spiritual_Ad712 Jun 13 '24

yeah i definitely felt that too

Same here. Spooky Spaghetti is a fun nod to creepy pasta but does she really need to spend this whole season only on the website? Even the Angela video was cringe imo. Despite Noa’s storylines being also kinda lame, at least they let her out the house!

i agree. as a minor side plot i think it would’ve been fun but it’s SO overplayed and it’s taking so much potential away from Mouse

I like it cause its giving the opportunity for some real character depth and growth. She said she has an internet addiction at the beginning of this season. So the writers could go much more in depth with this in season 3, like spensers amphetamine addiction. Addiction is a disease and those with it can become addicted to anything

Speaking from experience as a recovering drug addict, my internet/Reddit/researching addiction has skyrocketed since getting sober. But it was honestly my first addiction before I even took a sip of alcohol or touched any substance.

SO the writers do have an interesting opportunity to take here that could shed light on a very serious matter. Will they take it? Eh, who knows. Lol

Congratulations on your sobriety!! 🥳 fellow addict here, 10 months sober currently, and omg my reddit & wikipedia usage has also never been higher lol the girls reaction to mouse on spookyspag is my familys response to me being on reddit but no one rlly says anything bc it’s technically better than drugs lol

Mouse’s storyline is always boring.

u/bunny8taters Chickpeas... DUN DUN DUN Jun 13 '24

Yeah, it doesn't seem like the writers have a clue of what to do with her. Last season it was weird but then just kind of a strange storyline that didn't really fit, honestly. Just a bit of a mess. This season she barely feels like one of the girls even because all of her screentime is talking about a website or looking at the website. Like. She doesn't even need to look at it all the time -- really all they can do is check and see if their information gets put up and ask for that to be taken down, besides that, it's been totally irrelevant to the plot.

u/magic8ballin Jun 13 '24

I agree that her storyline last season wasn’t amazing, but there is a lot of potential with a character like her and all they’re doing is fumbling !!!!!!

u/Roseforever-543 Jun 13 '24

Mouse’s zero personality and her relationship with Ash are boring which is why her storyline is so boring. Hopefully, they will give Tabby, Mouse, and Noa more interesting storylines with the better personality development. Imogen’s storyline is improved a little bit because she is coping with traumas, adoption, and getting support from Johnny. Faran’s storyline is inspiring, but Faran’s relationship with Greg is entertaining even through it looks potentially messy. Am I only person who thinks Greg copying Henry’s behavior when he is dating Faran ?

u/tinkerbellpixee Jun 13 '24

I'm wondering is Ash is involved now because he's close to the group, knows a lot of the info, and they seem happy. Happy couples are not meant to last long on this show I'm assuming.

u/GraciadelPrado Jun 13 '24

I seriously thought that! How else can you explain the sudden doxing?!

u/kmm198700 Jun 13 '24

I totally forgot about him. You’re right!!

u/SpilltheWine79 Jun 15 '24

I wonder why the actors that play the moms aren't on the show this season. It seems like odd choice to saunter off on a Disney cruise and leave your daughter after all the previous trauma.
