Pit Babe Season 2 has been a frustrating ride from the beginning. Unfortunately, the final episode cemented what many of us feared: this production was sloppy, rushed, and made with zero care for the craft or the audience.

It felt like the goal was to slap together something just to push to market and make a quick buck, rather than to tell a meaningful story or respect the fans who've supported this series from day one.

What truly pushed the fandom, especially SailubPon (AlanJeff) fans, over the edge was the complete erasure of a scene that had been heavily promoted. Not just by the actors themselves, but by the company. A significant, intimate scene between Alan and Jeff, played by Sailub and Pon, was teased for weeks. It was in the trailer. It was proudly shared by the actors, who spoke about how meaningful it was and how much work went into it. Over three hours of filming, for just that one scene. It was even included in the official photobook, which, let's be clear, fans paid for before the final episode aired.

But when the episode dropped, the scene was gone. Completely cut. No warning, no explanation. Just a choppy jump in the edit where something clearly used to be. The fandom, confused and frustrated, assumed it might be saved for the "uncut" version released on the paid platform, as is often the case with more sensitive scenes. But no, it was missing there too. In what was falsely labeled an "UNCUT" episode. That's not just poor editing. That's false advertising.

This wasn't just a creative choice. It was deception. Fans were sold something we never received. We were manipulated into anticipating and paying for content that was deliberately withheld, with no transparency or accountability. To this day, the company has offered no explanation. We've asked. We've waited. Silence.

What makes this worse is what happened to the actors themselves. Sailub and Pon were made to sit with the rest of the cast and watch the final episode live on camera. You can see them waiting, excited, like the rest of us, to see that scene. Something they worked hard on and had publicly shared their enthusiasm for. The shock and embarrassment when they realized it was cut was painful to watch. Imagine that. Being blindsided on camera by your own company. No warning. No chance to prepare. Just humiliation.

This isn't just about fans being upset over a missing scene. This is about a complete lack of respect for the actors' work, their emotional investment, and the trust of the audience. We're not just disappointed. We're heartbroken and angry. Until the company addresses this with honesty and accountability, that wound will remain wide open.

I've rewatched this series more times than I can count. It's that good. Only 8 episodes, but it gives you everything: humor, drama, tension, and some of the best acting I've seen in a BL. The entire cast is amazing, and even the second couple shines.

But the real heart of the show is Sailub and Pon. Their chemistry is unbelievable. So natural and intense, it stays with you. I fell in love with them instantly and assumed they had other shows together. I was shocked to find out this is their only main series. Just this. And then Pit Babe, where they're barely featured as a side couple.

With a pairing this strong, it's honestly wild that we haven't gotten more. This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans is a gem.
