It was ridiculous from start to finish. It still makes me mad. I was kind of forced to watch it because our roommate's basement room had gotten flooded and we were trying to be supportive and she wanted to watch it, but it was so unbelievable I couldn't stand it. And it wouldn't end. It was so bad it's all a blur to me now.
