Anyone notice that this is the overlying pattern with McT? She hypes things up, then the climax falls flat? I'm having an argument with someone on NB about it, I criticized the "pregnacy island" stuff because there was no real point to it. I mean really, they made SUCH a big deal about kendall going missing, and being with Madden, Zach, Ryan and Erica were all running around like chickens without heads and WTF happened? Nothing. Zach showed up. Kendall left the island. the end. McT always does this. She built up the Jonathan mystery and then it fell flat. She built up the babyswitch reveal and everyone was horrified as Bianca just brushed it off as nothing. McT is horribly crappy at writing decent conclusions to her stories.

I agree, these stories are hyped up & then they flop big time. AMC sucks

I have to agree about the island scenes. What was the point of that? Couldn't she have been "saved" by Zack from some lab downtown or something? I guess they wanted a reason to use the boat set again. ha!
I can't think of a recent story right now that hasn't had a huge let down at the end. But the funny thing is reading interviews with the cast about how excited they are that the show is such a success right now.

what was the point of the island... from the spoilers it appeared like she practically took up residence there.. but she spent, what, one day there?

LOL Someone on NB is really arguing with me about it, like its somehow insulting to her personally that I thought the Island stuff was stupid. I mean what the hell? I didn't say Zendall was stupid. Maybe that's her problem. LOL.
She thinks I should have realized from the spoilers that it wasn't supposed to be something big. WTF? The show made it such a big deal, not spoilers. She's a dolt.

Minkie - maybe that's McT in "disguise."

This person is really snippy. Like honestly, I think one storyline was written badly--I didn't say ANYTHING about other aspects--and she gets all mad. I guess she really liked that island stuff. LOL.
How DARE I say otherwise. LMAO. Get a grip.

Everything gets hyped up and falls flat -- I started noticing that with the Dragon s/l. That was so hyped -- and then...Julia predictably killed him -- big deal. Not to mention Garrett was never that threatening or scary.

I noticed it even before that but its becoming REALLY obvious now...the babyswitch was one, the Jonathan mystery was another, then the Dragon, then this pregnant island stuff....it just never works. McT can't deliver.
The Dixie reveals were especially bad I thought...she spent weeks having Dixie lurk around and then...suddenly Tad walks in like that? Meh, not impressed. The one with JR was marginally better but still...

Ok as someone who is not watching the show I have to say I'm glad I didn't waste time. But I am curious, what was the purpose of the special shakes that they women were drinking? And why send Kendall away to an island if she wasn't there long enough to get into trouble? Stupid show! The last good s/l that I remember was Jonathan leading up to the cave and then they ruined the end of that. Oh, on that note, anyone think Braden and Trevor will ever get a funeral? LMAO!!

Honestly, I don't think the shakes were meant for anything other than an excuse for those women to talk to Kendall. I have no idea why they sent Kendall to the Island if nothing was going to happen. I know Dixie and Zach go back to find dirt on Madden but honestly, it was so pointless.
