I love Star!! I am so happy the network renewed the show for a second season!! I just watched the season finale and it shocked me and left me wanting more!!! Can’t wait to watch what’s next on Star!!! Huge fan!!!
I love this show! The one thing I didn’t like was the finsl song, the one the girls sang after winning the contest. Otherwise I love the drama, and the characters . I cant wait for the second season. So glad Fox renewed it. My only concern is that it gets too political, then I’m out!
What does that even mean? Too political.
yes this is the best show on tv right now.love it!!!!!!!!
I love this show. It is so emotional each time I wach it, I seem to think I’m there with the girls. I’m sad that it only had 12 episodes, I was really hoping to see more in the first season. That last episode I was on the edge of my feet. Hmmm is it sad that I was happy to see Eva & Hunter get what they deserved. Please hurry with the second season, hopefully we’ll find out that Hiyou is Mary’s girls father as well.
I am so glad Eva is out never liked her character. Hunter, on the otherhand got what he deserved from the girls , but I liked him on the show, especially shirtless!
Hell yes! Very happy!! When does the second season start?? I keep watching the finale over and over. Well, the last 10 minutes amyway. That was crazy! Can’t wait to see what happens next. ❤❤❤❤❤
