The show starts off strong but completely goes downhill on Season 3. The stories become boring, unbelievable, and filled with such cheesy lines and bad acting (Jamie Lynn Spears cough::cough). The newly formed friendships seemed so unnatural and forced. The various relationships also appeared too perfect and ideal with everyone being so unrealistically nice, polite, and understanding ALL the time. But the times there would be conflict the characters acted waaaay over the top and over-dramatic. And the whole Helen and Ryan split was completely random and under-developed. All I could think of when watching Season 3 was "CORNY." I'm hoping the future seasons get much better.
