Fresh has handled the hype for this season in the worst way possible. If they're going to show us things, they need to stay consistent. Darrie's reveal was pushed back a week, Stephyan almost didn't happen, and now they hype us up with info that ends up being a delay announcement? To me, all I see is "Sorry. You have to wait. See you later, Fresh fans!" not "Here's the bad news... but here's something to get you excited!" Fresh basically took a chainsaw to the hype and threw it in the gutter unless they can pull a quick recovery, which I expect them to do in the coming week. They need to.

Julie followed up by saying that there's a scheduled reveal plan, but until she confirms the details tomorrow if she's actually going to go through with what she said, then I can only assume reveals will be once every two months if we're lucky. If Fresh was smart, they would release a few silhouettes of newbies or reveal a returning player to get us talking. Something to spark the fire of the fan base again. I'll take anything at this point. Knowing Fresh, I'd expect to see a couple more reveals of some newbies until the last month before the premiere, where the whole cast is revealed in full and the fans rejoice or rage.

Also, pushing back the season doesn't guarantee higher quality. Production was already scheduled to last into September and October. They're not rewriting and backtracking in the middle of the season. They're not making serious changes. The lines have all been recorded and animation is over halfway complete right now. There will be no difference. Fresh easily could've aired it in July or August, but they didn't. Why? Spoilers, network troubles, worker issues, any could be the problem.

And to end this rant, if this pushback was ordered by CN just so they could air the full season as "RR Month" as they did with Pahkitew... there will be anger.
