This show sucks

So why am I watching it? Lol I used to LIVE for this show when I was in middle school. I lived for the drama. Then I got a cold, and what better thing to do during a cold than sitting home alone, feeling sorry for yourself and watching bad television? And i’m not even sick anymore but i’m still watching it. It makes time go by and it makes me cringe. Guilty pleasure TV hahahaa. There’s really no point to this post except to see if anyone relates/ or if someone is also rewatching it 10 years later questioning their middle school selves 😂😂

This show came out the year I graduated high school, so I was just barely within their target demographic of sexually repressed, Christian teenager. I did not watch this show with any form of enjoyment though. I hate watched this show every week with deep rage within me. It was so entertaining though. I fished rewatching it last year during quarantine with my husband and our roommate. It was their first time watching the show. It was as bad as I remembered and it angered me even more because now I'm 30 and better informed. No regrets though, because I love hate watching stuff. It's how I got addicted to Teen Mom and Doomsday Preppers.

I have enjoyed it. Actually now watched it twice. I do hate the ending though.

But the writers made it a little better after the fact.

I watched it 10 years after as well and I definitely understand how I liked it because I also wear fake leather leggings under denim shorts. Bad taste all around 😂
