I can see why Kathy was drummed in later for this season, it seems to be struggling to find a firm direction despite several aborted attempts. This will be Crystal's last season almost definitely, she seems in over her head, oddly nuking her newly formed alliances with aimless nonsense and a second season hasn't given her any kind of glow up.
Diana is starting to be all style and no substance as well. She's got an interesting life but feels more like a nice looking prop than an addition than adds value to the cast.
Garcelle's utter domination over this show is incredible. She's effortlessly the center of all the group dynamics, its like they are all playing off her lead in every scene now.
