Whitney got betrayed by one white girl , then decided to live with 20 others…WHITNEY, BABYGIRL BE SERIOUS

Who would’ve thought that Leighton would be the only one free of mess by the end of the season 😂

Lila is simply a star! And I’m so glad she got a prominent role this season and I hope it continues into next season.

the whole tatum dating leighton i interpreted not only as a fun gay stereotype moment of dating ur twin but also symbolizing leighton looking into a mirror and seeing her own flaws reflected back to her

The Whitney and Canaan relationship was soooo unserious cause why did they "officially" become bf+gf in his eyes that morning and then he broke up with her later that night within the same day 😭

I COMPLETELY agree with your whole segment on Bella!!! She very much gives that sheltered child in middle/high school FINALLY getting freedom in college to the point were it’s so chaotic. It’s literally going from one extreme to another. I feel like she has so much resentment from being that sheltered “loser” that she would do anything to not be seen as that version of herself anymore no matter how destructive and selfish it may be.

I wish the show was at least five episodes longer because a lot of the storylines would have felt so much more cohesive. Also did not understand how we spent a season with Jackson and then was quickly dropped to the end, I don't know man lmaoo.

Bela's definitely still dealing with the trauma of her assault in season 1 but I don't think the show is doing a great job articulating that to the audience.

This season was such a mess, i thought the girls were gonna get closer but oh my days i was so wrong

I really appreciate your nuanced take on Bela. I came into college with low self esteem and was sexually assaulted several times. I can relate to the negative self talk, hypersexuality, and impulsive decisions. Bela was terrible this season, but I can't help but sympathize with her.

we really do need more men of color on this show, like these yt boys aren’t that hot 😭

Awkward Andrew was cute adjacent but him being mean made him insufferable, never rooting for a mean man

Finally someone with media literacy and taste who understood Bela and Leighton's arc

so glad you agree that tatum is mean! i feel like i'm being gaslit by leightum stans to think that she was actually perfectly kind. the only thing tatum has done is not be homophobic to leighton, and, to me, that's just the bare minimum to be considered a decent human

imma need every issue to be resolved in season 3s premiere 😭

oh how deeply i need this show to have better pacing. i feel like im on a rollercoaster half the time AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING 😭😭 the universe where they have 20 eps a season is my love and joy

An hour and a half video on sex lives of college girls... I've found my people

clip in the beginning is too real because with the way it started i could’ve never imagined the ending 😭

Whitney moving into the sorority full of white girls.....oh lord do i fear what she's going to turn into for the next season😖

9:33 Jackson 9:57 Tatum 10:36 Alicia 11:25 Willow 12:04 Josslyn 12:53 Lila 14:34 Canaan 20:11 Eric 28:24 Leighton

I love Lila's delivery!! just like season one it's so good and continues to make me cackle and replay the scene

i think now that bela is attractive she thinks her looks/body is all she has going for her. eric had his portfolio and she was struggling writing it. so what did she do? she used her body to get ahead. this poor girl has so much issues she just needs therapy i feel for her

ima need some of y’all to rlly tune into what amanda is saying when it comes to bela. you can’t evolve or be in an empowered state if you keep taking away your own power. accepting yourself at ALL stages will invite the empowerment you are looking for.

Honestly, liked Leighton being thirsty. Inviting someone you wanna impress to a party their friend hosted? PLS I would jump of a cliff head first💀

Andrew honestly pissed me off so much, I can't believe they even had any sort of relationship together. If a guy was talking to me like that doesn't matter how fine he is I'm already turned off. But all my love to Whitney she's the best and deserves better

i definitely see where bela comes from but goooollllllyy!!! everytime i have hope for her she literally BURNS EVERYTHING DOWN. i desperately need her to get help cause everytime she comes on screen i just sigh.

the pacing of this show is really horrific which is probably why i was so put off by a lot of the things that happened this season. i kept feeling like things were rushed and wasn’t in character but it’s not that it wasn’t in character, it’s bc this show is a tiktok, it has the pacing of a tiktok that is not gonna have a part 2 so it’s gotta be everything in that one tiktok

Every character having a horrible character arc/assassination on the level of Game of Thrones except Leighton is definitely a feat I've never expected Mindy Kaling to meet and pass with flying colors...

i didn’t think season 2 could get messier than the first… but here we are. the ending where bela transferred to a different college like…. huh?? 😭

Okay first off… your hair >>>> absolutely stunning. And second off the Bela rant was really good to hear, especially about how we should be nicer when talking about our younger selves! Love hearing your opinions 🫶🏽

Kimberly getting Canaan was what I thought what was gonna happen in season 1 before his relationship with Whitney.

no bcs the way i predicted that whitney would get with andrew, and kimberly would develop a crush on canaan☠️ like as soon as the slow dance song played for the banquet, i yelled at my phone like be serious😒

I actually loved this season but why the fuck was Bela sleeping with a grown ass COMEDY MAN glossed over?! I guess the way the season ended, looks like she’s getting therapy anyways lol There were a lot of uncomfortably realistic moments but that’s why I like this show. It’s not just about what the title says, there’s a lot more deeper meanings to what the girls go through. And I’m so glad Leighton has grown, she and Whitney are my favorites. Leighton and Alicia are end game… like when they broke up I was like NOOO Leighton was growing. And now she’s back. Idk what’s going on with Kimberly, she’s a mess other than Bela lol I agree with Willow needing to be there more, I LOVE her character. I’m glad Lila got more screen time.

I liked Tatum for Leighton based on her reaction to Leighton not being out. She was so understanding and clearly stated that Leighton should come out when she was ready, which she needed after Alicia. THe way she reacted in that scene made it seemed like she had trauma. After the woman's center party, I understood why Leighton broke up with her though. I understand why Alicia was frustrated with dating someone in the closet but I didn't like how she expressed it to Leighton. I think ultimately, Leighton benefitted from both relationships. She gained the courage to come out from both and learned about having a loving relationship with Alicia.

Points were made about Eric! He stepped over bela when she really wanted the opportunity she set up for herself. He was her boyfriend... just be supportive since you will get more opportunities

the writers forget the previous episodes and switch up the plot and characters so frequently it gives me whiplash

I wanted Whitney and Mariah to become friends so bad. I survived being a STEM girlie because I had other black womxn to support me

Justice for Whitney! It sucks that the POC characters had the worst story arc. And i excepted more of Cannan. Kimberly stereotyped him from day one and he likes her?? and I hate that everyone was saying they saw it coming, like it gave very much platonic co workers 😭

I’m mostly annoyed at the fact that the girls don’t be rooming together. Like.. I don’t care if it’s realistic for freshman friends to grow apart. This tv show should be pure escapism & be a little unrealistic . DAMN 😭

People think that cheating is the only bad thing you can do in a relationship but Eric was awful to Bela for an opportunity he'd get anyway, he literally has contacts we saw in s1 with other prolific professionals

Tbh I kind of wish the comedy writers did more pushback especially the Asian girl ( I forgot her name) I felt she had so much to say in season 1 and now she’s such a background character. Idk I kind of wish there was more fighting for power to lead the magazine. Which would showcase Bela more wanting to be able to control so she doesn’t get take advantage of. And how she just wants to do everything herself.

in conclusion.. mindy kaling needs therapy

Im literally Bella I was toxic too I empathize for her she literally just needs radical acceptance and more self sufficiency

Eric pissed me offff like I didn’t buy them trying to pair him with Bela so bad… like Bela had been working for that man, she went to go get him at the airport and everything. Eric taking advantage of that made me remember why I disliked him since s1. And you’re so right… he never showed that he madly liked Bela

your hair is stunning, this style really emphasizes ur beauty

1:16:30 re: men of color - I think it’s strange that they don’t have more [South] Asian representation and international students of color. There are many interesting dynamics among students who are seen as the same but aren’t that are definitely prevalent even at predominantly white schools. Would love to see Lila interact with a wealthy person from Latin America for example

i was almost more interested in whitney and canaan after they broke up than when they were together. also kimberly and canaan seem so out of left field and rushed

Kim annoyed me the most this season 2. They went the route of a not so good looking white women pulling all the fine men, instead her POC cast. Canaan said Kimberley reminded her of her teacher, but was attracted to her enough to kiss her?? It was giving forced.

i was watching the season back and watching caanan and whitney’s interactions after they broke up, it’s obvious she still liked him. i was happy she saw him kissing kimberly because it was a wake up call but i wholeheartedly wish it was zoe

i think its not addressed enough how *willing* that comedian was to sleep with an 18 year old college student especially one he knew looked up to him and wanted to impress him through any means necessary?? like don't get ne wrong bela shouldn't have cheated but I think its weird that there wasn't more resistance...

whit being with canaan was soooo unserious & honestly all of her relationships so far have been, i hope she can have time to focus on herself and heal from dalton & also i really wanna see her confront her dad. i really hope her & kimberly don’t fall apart because of canaan bc i love them so much

I love how you humanized Bella. I still don't care for the character but you made me empathize with her more

Though the Whitney and Canan relationship was bland can we please stop pretending him and Kimberly have such chemistry. She didn’t even like him until she found out he had things going for himself and even stereotyped him in the first season. Kimberly has only looked out for herself she’s just good at looking like a victim. And all the other girls have fun personalities, talents, etc but she the one with “pull” ok lol

I never cared about Bela and Eric as a couple to begin with so there breakup did nothing for me, but I do believe Bela needs to talk with someone about her hyper sexuality (not by definition)/ promiscuity

whitney going thru all that and choosing to live with like 20 white girls...lets bow our heads and pray y'all

I just don’t like that this is Kimberly’s second time choosing boys over her friends. She lied to Leighton about dating her brother. she obviously just didn’t know Leighton well enough yet to know that she would be fine w it. But she did think it would bother her and instead of making sure her new friend would be ok, she just lied instead..just like she did w Whitney who is not a “new friend” anymore. I feel like at this point it’s a pattern. Kimberly is funny for sure but I’m side eyeing.

Canaan and Whitney never did anything for me tbh. No chemistry. They seemed to be placed together because they were black and we deserve better black love representation. Many people say kimberly and him were random but I got hints of them being together since season 1. Whitney's love interests have not been great overall

I think season 2 can be summed up as we needed more episodes, for the storylines they wanna do they need to have 22 episode seasons so all these storylines don’t seem rushed and out of left field. Build it up

Sorry but screw Kimberly and Kanon..the whole “friend messing around with an ex or current bf” is old and tiring 😒didn’t need to happen for the progression of the show..plussss they hurt my girls heart 🥺💔

Gurl, I was WAITING for you to do a commentary on this season!!! I lived for your video on the first season and like always, you did not disappoint! Here's my takes: -I agree with Whitney dealing with the trauma from the coach and it would've been nice to explore that and express that to Canaan because that's why she felt the need to check his phone instead of just being honest with him. I felt so bad for Whitney witnessing Kimberly and Canaan kiss. I understood her disappointment and anger for her when she gave Kimberly the benefit of the doubt and a chance to explain herself, but instead, chose to lie about it. I got a feeling it's gonna get ugly between the two next season. I loved seeing her figure out what she wanted to do with her future and life in college and finally find her passion in biochemistry was so relatable because I've been her at one point. Also, I loved seeing her have black friends outside of her main friend group and the issue of her having her be mixed up with another black girl in her class rings true to my experience being in a PWI. I didn't like Andrew for her either. He was so obnoxious and rude. -I was so proud of Leighton's growth this season! Seeing her own her identity and embracing change as she came out this season was very well executed! She really was a good friend to all the girls especially Kimberly when she had her procedure and it was so heartwarming seeing her call Whitney and Bela before the procedure. The fact that she had to do community service and abhorred the idea of feminism and despised being there against her will and it ended up being her second home to her and is now friends with the people there (Ginger and Tova) was so sweet to see and she really is comfortable there and I loved seeing her stand up for them against Tatum and getting out of that horrid sorority. At first, I thought Tatum was cool at first, but her behavior she displayed at the party at the Women's Center was TERRIBLE. I'm glad she broke up with her. Leighton was basically dating her former self in Season 1, and she has outgrown that, so it makes a lot of sense. I actually liked Leighton and Alicia together and seeing them reunite actually remined me why I liked them together in the first place. -Now, Bela... Jesus Christ. The self-sabotage was REAL. Just damaging everything in her path. I sympathize with her, though. You made a good point about her being broken and trying to erase who she was when she was in middle school and high school. Don't hide those parts of yourself. It's still you regardless, so embrace it! Bela is just SUPER IMPULSIVE, selfish, and desperate to make her goals and dreams come true even if it means stepping on others (not putting her other members on Foxy on the cover, trashing her mentee's work, embarrassing Priya, etc.) or even sleeping her way to the top. That can hopefully get explored because she really does need to talk to some body because she deals with low self-esteem and probably has trauma from being sexually assaulted by Ryan that hasn't even been addressed. -Kimberly is my girl!! I'm not happy with how she handled the Canaan situation, but I respect her for breaking up with Jackson as soon as she caught feelings for Canaan instead of resorting to being unfaithful. I love her so much! Out of all the girls, I relate to her the most because of how awkward, sheltered, naïve, and geeky she is, but she honestly is so sweet and she KNOWS how to keep a beautiful man on her arm (i.e. Nico and Jackson). A lot of people did not like Kimberly and Canaan being together, but there hints planted throughout the show and I am not mad at them being together. HOWEVER, she went about it ALL WRONG! It is basic girl code to NOT let a man get in the way of their friendship! Kimberly should've done the mature thing and talked to Whitney FIRST BEFORE she went after Canaan because hello?! That was her ex! I understand she didn't want to hurt Whitney's feelings, but if she was really her friend, she would've been able to communicate and be honest with her! -Side note: I loved Lila, Jocelyn, and Willow and we do need MORE of them because they are hysterical! Also, I wouldn't mind seeing more of Priya in the show since she is going to Essex and she is very pretty! I think it would be interesting to see her join the group since the friend group is goin to fall apart. Overall, the show is really good is true to the college experience to me and we DEFINITELY need more episodes next season!

not gonna hold you Kimberly was kind of the worst friend on this damn show. like she keeps violating her friends and then pretending to be oblivious of what's wrong with her actions. Also how is she puling these guys her personality is funny to us watching, but like irl its annoying asf . 😐 there i said it. I fully agree with you on Bella and Whitley. Bella needs to heal and Whitley needs black people around her like her roomates are cool but her black homegirls were the real ride or dies.

Finding out that bio bro is Julia Louis-Dreyfus's son made so much sense. Like I'm sorry to the Nepo babies, but it's obvious when y'all getting jobs😬 Mindy LOVES bringing her bestie's kids into her projects. Same with Reese Witherspoon's son on the most recent season of Never Have I ever....both very bland type of acting, you can tell it's their first gig

I think a huge reason why Leighton is liked with Tatum is also the actresses interactions off screen. Like for example Renee - who plays Leighton and is bi - left comments on Tatum's actress insta that she's fall for her IRL too.

The way you describe everything is so on point. The bio bro thing is so accurate!! Because whew child, I had flashbacks too!

I wish Whitney explained how she felt abt Canaan asking her te be his gf when she thought they were already dating bcs I feel like it would’ve made the breakup less dumb and they could’ve easily solved the problem😕

Thanks for this gift for the holidays! 🎁😂 I rarely actually watch the shows you're talking about but your commentary is so entertaining, I watch every time. Wishing you great success in the year ahead!

oh my god... amanda you are so special but also so mean for making me tear up at the inner child and bela part

I haven’t watched like any of the shows Amanda talks about, but it’s still so entertaining listening to her speak about things so passionately🤞🏻😌

I love your thoughts !! very eye opening especially when you talking ab our younger selves and bela’s arc

FINALLY SOMEONE BRINGS UP HOW MEAN TATUM is, people saying it was out of character?? she liked Leighton because they were the same she was a bitch to everyone else bffr

I have been waiting for you to drop this video. You have no idea how excited I am 🥳🥳

Oh I’m excited for this one, especially with what happened in the last episode 👀

Thank you as always for your in depth review! We agreed on a lot of the same points and I think S2 really sets the stage for so much more to come in future seasons. For Leighton it released her from all of the stress of being closeted and learning how to accept her true self and I think it'll be interesting to see where the summer takes her. I assume her and Alicia will end up long distance because Alicia is older and will graduate soon (plus the actress is on Greys Anatomy). For Bella it sets the stage for healing and redemption as she has a lot of inner work to do. No one mentions all of the pressure she feels to be successful at comedy since she's still lying to her family about her career path. She has so much loathing and sadness from people's treatment of her and being perceived as weird. I felt for her so much and girl needs lots of hugs and therapy. For Kimberly, it sets the stage for addressing her finances with her family and being confronted about the egg donation. It also addresses the rift that will soon come between the girls over this Canaan situation. Sides will definitely be chosen and I think it'll be Bella and Kimberly/ Whitney and Leighton. It'll be rough but it's so real to see. And Whitney will definitely be in her revenge era next season for sure. I sets the stage for her being petty and becoming much more harsh. She may stay in Kappa longer than we think (unfortunately) as it was shown she would even take their advice even if it torpedoes her relationship. So lots to come but this show needs more episodes and it'll be so fun to watch them get to senior year.

Wow, love how you broke this down! So fun! I love the show so much - enjoyed this, too! 😊😊

Omg wasn’t expecting this to be a movie length analysis but I’m so glad it is

Kimberley gives white savior complex to the max. Her lines were so corny and forced.

I really loved what you said about Bella because it made me think a lot about how we all speak on our younger selves and how we should shift the way we speak about our past and our younger selves

ahhhh i finally have time to watch this videooooo im so excited! i was so interested in the first season and got the chance to binge it on my sister's ex's account. you're literally the only youtuber i watch that talks about this show. i dont have access to watch this season yet but i dont care. i loved watching your first recap

Not tryna be biased but Amandas patreon is sooooo worth it i promise you. I feel like i have a bestie i can laugh it

Amanda I love your commentary. So on point, queen.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 😭

I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

The way you are never wrong about anything... amazing

if the writers are smart they will develop a storyline where Willow develops feelings for Whitney and leads to Whitney exploring her sexuality☝🏽come back to me when this happens either next szn or after

absolutely LOVE how u talk about them like they're real people

YES!!!! I've been so looking forward to this video!!!!!!

I needed this. Thank you girl!

EARLY GANG! I LITERALLY DROP WHATEVER IM DOING TO WATCH YOUR UPLOADS HI QUEENIE

two amandabb uploads in one month??? it IS christmas!!!!! thank you !!!!

Loved this season and love your arguments!

I just started the video but sissssterrr THIS HAIR IS SO CUTE OMFG

ok, side note your hair looks so cute girl😍

coming back a year and a half later but I think Kimberly being a FAAF (like Frude) would be a cool way to introduce the idea of the girls maintaining their friendship while living separately, plus it would make sense with her needing the free housing since she’s low income and I also think that just really suits her personality

no your whole spule on bela nearly made me cry!

YESSSSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Just got COVID for the first time and this is exactly what I needed to lift my spirits as I stay in bed.

This coming out as soon as I finished the show 🤩 Marry Christmas yalll!

i LOVE your analyze of Bella!!

YES IVE BEEN WAITING 🥹

i love your analysis on Bela’s character it’s very true and a lot of people I know including myself go through that 😅 made me look at her character differently
