Boring boring boring. I watched every season since 1. While the earlier seasons were more focused on drama, which I don't prefer at all, the challenges were actual challenges and seeing what they did was entertaining. Plus, Padma. She was comforting but and respectable. Kristen, while I liked her in her season, is not what I'd have in mind to be the main host of this show. She desperately needs some sort of "how to host" training. Her presence isn't impactful. I have to force myself to listen to her most of the time because of the way she speaks with little to no enunciation. Even when she's commenting on a dish she just ate her words are flat like she's reading orders from a paper. With the ultra boring challenges it's a challenge itself to watch the show and care about it. People's characters are hidden other than where they are from and what kind of family they have. Everything is so scrubbed clean. It doesn't have a personality. It's became super boring.

It's just trying to be more shocking and memorable but fails miserably. An interesting plot turns into lazy hate and rage bait and shock value halfway through the show. Some of the acting is too obvious, things take too long, characters spend literal minutes trying to figure out very very simple things, it's frustrating instead of thrilling. The characters are lifeless, very stereotypical. Half of the time I watched this was spent listening to number 8's annoying laugh. We get that She's the "psycho". No need to make her yell "hey, I'm a psycho" every 2 minutes. Nothing in this show is subtle, and it's not really clever either. This show thinks everyone considers pointless drama, violence and low IQ storyline as "entertainment" so it gives us that. Can't really argue that it's provocative and that usually gets you clicks, but this one is just a lifeless copy of more successful shows in this genre.

So you take the vast imaginative world of fallout, you take whatever billions of dollars of budget, practically any actor or actress you want out there... and you come up with this? It's so bad it's shameful. Cardboard conversations, acting so dull it killed any interest I had and I forced myself to see through the edit of predictable scenes that is the first episode. If it wasnt for the sex and violence I would've thought that this was aimed at children. Fallout is cheesy and fun, this is like a sitcom with laugh track. Everything is so over explained, obvious, the cringe I get from thinking that someone put thought (barely), effort and money into this hurts me after a while of watching. Such a waste. 20 minutes of bad slow mo fight scene with cute music is not doing it for me anymore, not after seeing it for the 300th time. Nolan listed cliches in this series. And also, the main character, who did the casting? Someones intern nephew? I find it hard to believe that someone so bad at acting is the star of this show when there are so many talented people out there.
