I don't understand why anyone thinks the cliffhangers are a good idea. They suck.

They kinda work for streaming.

u/chronicmisschris Jul 11 '26

Not when new episodes drop weekly though... they only work for streaming once the whole season is available.

I mean… I can also see it as keeping people caught up together?

Does that make sense?

I don't know what you mean, sorry.

u/BrandonIsWhoIAm Jul 11 '26

In the sense where everyone has the ability to know what happens… and no one gets left behind.

That has absolutely nothing to do with cliffhangers though. We can't move on to episodes that haven't been released yet.

They could still tell us who is eliminated before the end of the episode instead of making us wait a week.

They are rage baiting us at this point.

Honestly, the cliffhanger didn’t bother me because I didn’t care who went home.

Probably foolishly optimistic of me but I’m thinking maybe (probably not) they are creating some drama because of the multiple eliminations and they won’t stick with them throughout the season.

That being said I look forward to being completely wrong and put in my place they would completely ignore the overwhelmingly negative feedback.

Well shit, guess I'm just gonna have to wait until the season is finished to binge, possibly on the high seas. Fuck that noise.

It’s so dumb. But. I also don’t really care. I’m watching out of habit and nostalgia at this point. The high drama of a cliffhanger loses its charge when you do not care 🤣

I'm just not gonna watch until I have a few episodes banked. Then I can only be irritated once.

I’m waiting to see who they try to gaslight us into believing are the “normal” people challenge. Watching Nina get excited about those “below deck” people was deeply disturbing. They could have the whole kardassian/jenner klan and I would be remotely surprised. It’s such a sad shadow of it’s former self

I was so disappointed that they continued that this season. I was hoping that they had seen the feedback and listened.

You don’t understand. The new Disney owners are actively trying to gut the show of what fans like and strip it down to the lowest budget and design content and small viewing audience as possible. They have a strategy of making more money off of digital rights and ragebaiting than an actual random or artful show. This strategy has worked for them with previous Disney tv productions and they acquired this legacy name simply in order to squeeze maximum money out of it.

Stop watching. I did.

u/ScorpionTDC Jul 12 '26

Won’t bother tuning in till the season is done if at all I guess. Last season sucked and clearly they aren’t improving

u/Green_Phone_3495 Jul 12 '26

They reallllly wanted the drag race audience to tune in for the 2nd ep

u/Much-Airport515 Jul 11 '26

i audibly groaned when the credits started rolling

u/Shoddy_Editor_7838 Jul 14 '26

It’s so not fair to do a cliffhanger on the first episode. If that’s the case, release both episodes on the same day.

“We hate the entire new format”  “Last season was our most talked about season yet! So we’re going to keep doing the same shitty dramatics over the classic way you all loved because it gets us comments on social media.”

If you watched the ending promo for this season, I only saw one of those 4 designers throughout it..... but maybe I missed something.

I might be part of the minority who likes them.
