I'm giving it 1 star because it currently promotes bullying.
I have watched this show from the start, but I agree that the characters have become stale. Please just give Stassi and Beau their own show. That would be awesome. Also, how terrible is it that they've kept Lala on? She's such a bully and it was so hilarious, in that last episode, where she was trying to put Raquel in her place and all Raquel did was handle it with grace and tact. Exact opposite of Lala. Please get rid of Lala, I've heard enough of her bullying.
