  • I tried to like this…

    Sorry, I can’t handle how “extra”, opinionated and know it all one of the ladies is and the other just laughs. There’s really no substance for me, like I was expecting in this show. I’m unfollowing and won’t hear their reviews review! Just my opinion, we don’t have to agree.

  • Mildly entertaining for the friendless

    If I was at a party and these two were carrying on about sports, the weather and how much they like barbecued chicken, I’d excuse myself and look for someone else to talk to - someone funnier and with more wit, insight and individuality. In a nutshell, I was bored stupid.
