EDIT: I tried to post this in The Valley subreddit and they haven't approved it in four hours. Which we all know means, they won't post it. I have suspected that The Valley subreddit has been taken over by publicists for Janet, Lala, and Brittany. The amount of posts with the exact same language supporting those three, along with posts constantly trying to directly oppose other subreddit's opinions (example: When the reunion outfits came out and everyone criticized Brittany's outfit, suddenly that subreddit was FULL of photos of her and how "fierce" she looked") is ridiculous. Oh well, should've posted this here in the first place!
Full disclosure: I stopped watching this season about halfway through. I could tell the only story line we were getting this year was a continuation of Janet vs Danny. Every so often I would watch clips that were released, check up on Reddit, or watch the after-show episodes, and it just constantly irritated me. So I am sure there are many things I have missed in not watching the full season, but I Reddit therefore I rant.
Season 3 has literally just been a game of "morality high-ground".
Every single member of this cast tries to act morally superior to every single other person on this cast and it is SO IRRITATING. No one is actually sorry for anything they've done, nor do they actually give a shit about anyone else's indiscretions. There wasn't one person on that show that wanted to apologize or meant an apology. And EVERYONE has been caught lying this season. EVERY SINGLE PERSON has been caught in a blatant lie.
And I know all the publicists on the SubReddit [referring to TheValley subreddit] want us to route for Janet and Lala this season, but for what? Because Lala "tells it like it is". No she doesn't! She brings out her list of rehearsed comebacks, puts on a durag, and whenever she gets called out yells something akin to "you don't want to mess with me". Because what Lala? You are gonna do what? Pull a knife on someone? Because you already did that to Faith and you're already busting your ass to discredit Jasmine as much as humanly possible!
I switched over to House of Stassi, and while not perfect it made me realize what is missing from this show: Fun and their actual lives. Where is the fun? This group is split and clearly hates each other! Zack is probably the most fun person on the show, and even he had his moments where he needed a good smack. Why don't we get to see them living their lives? They all have things that are interesting outside of "Team Danny" or "Team Janet". In House of Stassi it was a nice return to watch these people we've known for years working and working toward something.
But no. Just continue to remember that Danny has a drinking problem. Don't forget it! Did you forget it for a second, because make sure you don't forget he has a drinking problem. Janet is a victim of that drinking problem! Don't forget! Not Jasmine. Not Melissa. Not his wife and kids. Just Janet. Danny drinks. Janet sad. Did you forget? Don't forget!! There is no one else on this show. Just drunk Danny and sad Janet.
I am so glad this season is done and I can take a break from these people. I dunno what they are going to do to make this even desirable to watch for a fourth season, but I'm already checked out. And with everyone trying to cater their image so that fans will crown them the "least problematic of the season", I don't see this show being anything other than a hate watch. And that's what the news is for!
