    DOG WATER staring predators

    Very low tier show, with peace and love I think James Charles and NiKathoey Dragon really made this unwatchable. I heard she worked with the LAPD to give 30 homeless men Covid so they could clear Echo Park. Lock James Charles up and thro the key into some burning Sisters merch.

    Deserves a second season!

    I was really suprised by how much I'm in love with this show. I look foward to Friday's only because of this show. I really like how well thought the challenges are and how fun it looks to be in the show. It doesn't remind of reality tv (which i'm not a huge fan of reality tv). James did a great job when giving constructive criticism. The contestants brought even more life to the show. I'm just amazed by the show and would love if ,after quarantine, they shot a second season with more contestants. Overall great show and I totally recommend.

    Great show

    I really enjoy it! It was not as bad as I expected it to be.I really appreciate the fact that the show was free to watch.

    Really well made

    It's really well made for a Youtube reality show. James didi a commendable job for his first time in this genre.Judging seemed fair and less dramatic which is difficult to say these days with fake reality shows.Contestants are also talented and diverse which made entire show interesting. Last but not least set design is apt for the show and theme is well balanced.

    Over in an instant, lots of good influence

    * It's free. * Well-made professional production and very nice camera/editing work. * Fun, very different sorts of challenges. Fast-paced, good for binge-watching and the show is over is a very quick watch. * Never loses its steam. * Good competition with interesting and talented contestants, several of whom you genuinely want to root for, no annoying drama from anybody (*Cough* hard exception being Benny and at one point, Indigo, but let's be honest, it's kinda funny). * You learn a lot about makeup and being an influencer from everybody being so constructive and explanatory on the subjects during the show, which is nice. Even if makeup and being an influencer is not your thing, it's very interesting and you can definitely learn a lot from the experiences of these people. * James Charles is an excellent host. Never had I imagined saying this, but the guy is seriously such a talented host understanding how to take charge and drive the show, bring the right guest stars and contestants in to get good energy and entertainment flowing, take harsh choices but with a lot of empathy, understanding and a focus solely on creative talent etc. and not drama or anything unnecessary. He brings so much humanity into the show and comes off very down-to-earth without losing the star power that got him where he is. Simply amazing. 10/10.
