User blog comment:BarBar/BarBar's ROTI Re-Watch Thoughts (+Character Rankings!)/@comment-24784093-20170415195505

i like this blog and im agree with the most of it.

the season had much more potential to be one of the best. but the thing that destroy it (for me) is that the creators chose to focus on the wrong character. and these characters (cameron, mike and zoey) got too much screentime that it felt to me that the writers forced me to root for cameron/mike/zoey.

and agree abot the way that the females treated worst. i really don't know why it was like this. i mean in the other seasons we have strong, sympathic and great female. but this seasons it seems that most of them are the most weak player: right on the 5 episode we lost half of the females (and only one male who is no a real characters), with the exception of dawn (and maybe dakota) we get a situation that all the girls hate each other (unlike previous seasons when female friendships were strong). and they presented in really poor way: an annoying girl who never stop talking (staci), a shallow girl who based on paris hilton (dakota), snobic that only care for her look (anne maria) and a strong girl but unsympathic person (jo). while dawn and zoey presented in a good way, one of them eliminated on the 5th episode and the other is just mary sue/damsle in distress (who fill the rule of the lead female). but actually i enjoyed the females this season and i think they were great (even the creators want us to not like them)

and brick... he should have been the protagonist!!! not cameron. my problem with him is his godplaying. i mean how a teenage boy, who is maybe the most physically weak character in the show (i mean a butterfly sit on his head and cameron fall), who spend most (if not all) of his life in a bubble and never get out of his home. how cameron became so strong player? it doesnt make any sense. the previous protagonists (gwen, lindsay and heather), they all had a problame they they had to deal with during the season. and we see their process of their development. gwen who was a loner became friendley and got new friends and actually started to show happyness. lindsay tryed to prove to everyone she can be a decent leader for her team. and heather had to make everyone trust her and prove to the other people she can change. but we didn't saw any process of cameron's story. right on the few first episodes he became godplayer. thing that gwen, lindsay and heather did in whole season he did in four episode (and in the bad way). i felt to me that the writers forced me to root for him (just like i felt in season 2 when beth took the role of the protagonost after lindsay left)

but again, great blog :)
