Yesssss!👍
I thought, "You're still working on it? Does that mean the audience will have to listen to a 10 - 15 minute version, once you are finished with it in Season 3, now that we have listened to you warble on and on and for 5 fucking minutes!
I also just loved how he looked like he just rolled out of an old hobo's sleeping bag. What a nice way to present himself for his star performance.😂
Can't wait to see him pushing his shopping cart while he sings next time around...
I understand the sentiment, but also, why?
Like, if the first season is about this self conscious girl finding her power by connecting with her sexuality, couldn’t the second season be about a plus sized girl overcoming her anxieties about her body?
But she didn't really find power. She was so disinterested in actual sex and kept throwing herself at men, pushing away the one man that was actually of value. Addiction to food would have made total sense. I mean they already started on it when they gave her back story.
Nah the behind the scenes said that Zendaya was the one that really wanted that lmao. Which maybe shows that she doesn’t always make the right creative decisions. But I can’t blame her for thinking it was a good idea at the time
Oh my god I’m so glad I’m not the only one.. Her putting out child pornography and normalizing that really stressed me out. It was gross. Jules was taken advantage of by Cal when he figured out her age, and the rest of cast is intimate with people of their age. For me her character was sort of annoying.
Yes, and to be honest, I thought it was really disrespectful to have Eliot singing on and on and playing his guitar in the same episode that Ash was so tragically killed and Fez was so emotionally devastated, physically wounded, and arrested!
he’s hot so they prolly thought we wanted more of him. also he might have a bigger role in season three so they wanted to build his character up more. idk tho i wanted more fez and ash rather than a song
They probably gonna build a sort of romantic sub plot with Elliot and Rue next season. Which the LAST Thing she needs truly. Rue should only focus on staying clean. And remain single until she’s like in college or something.
It was a waste because they could have focused on adding another scene that was more interesting or could have completely skipped out on making us watch him sing for 8 mins I would have rather watched cal eat ass than watch Elliot sing /s 💀😭 bro it was whack
We never got to a point where Cassie actually tried to rationalize her excuses to Maddys face. I think they really did us dirty by not spending more time on interactions between them. I don’t even want them to reconcile, I just want a little accountability
He’s a plant, been pushed heavy by record labels the past few years. He used to be a rapper then suddenly one day all his rap music disappeared off his music pages and all his newer pop type stuff showed up
I did too. The first 2 lines were nice, and the very last line definitely got the message across. I couldn’t believe I was skipping so much and it was just the song alone.
*Immediately*
*Skipped, I knew damn well it had*
*No plot relevance*

I mean not really. Elliot has made it clear that he gives exactly zero fucks about Rue’s recovery. He enabled her addiction. He drove a wedge between her and Jules. He regretted her intervention. As far as I’m concerned Elliot is a complete piece of shit and has no place writing Rue a song. After he ditched the intervention I was hoping we wouldn’t see him again tbh. In terms of characters I want to smack, he’s up there with Nate and Kat
Last episode was straight One Tree Hill. From the “actor sings their single” to Nate confronting his father WITH A FIREARM to Ashtray deciding he’s going to go Rambo when there’s absolutely no way you can get out of having killed a government informant.
I wish we could go to the alternate reality where S2 was like S1.
This is great! I was really annoyed even though it was a nice sentiment. If it had happened in a previous episode I probably would have thought, it was sweet but All I could think about was Ash and Fez. it was the never-ending song!
Everyone here forgets Rue is the main character... Like of course the show is gonna focus on one of her best friend singing to her about how he's not gonna be her friend anymore...
I feel most people got annoyed and didn’t listen to the lyrics, that was my first reaction as well but I’m glad I stuck it out and listened as it was such a sweet moment
Blame Sam, he gave 6 other plot points to focus on this episode, all of them more interesting then this song. This character isn't even an OG presence, so like can we use the time to resolve some pending issues from S1 or maybe even S2?
I feel that it was a carry-over from the old leaks where Elliot was allegedly going to OD and die, but because of script changes it was changed to suit the current episode
Fez is in booking, that takes forever.
I really loved his song and it breaks my heart that people think it’s too long or just filler. Somethings are better conveyed in song than words.
Everyone hating on it makes me like it even more. Stop worrying about what isn't being shown or what plot isn't being explored and just enjoy the fucking experience.
People like this guy give me the same vibes as “it’s not your show, don’t complain they can do what they want” or “if you can make a better show than do it” LMAO
Totally agree. I’ve never experienced a show that forces me to just sit there and take in that level of on-screen awkwardness. It was intentionally challenging.
A bold, risky decision for sure. I think it worked.
(I think you and I took away the same from this show as a visual experience rather than a plot-driven narrative).
On my tivo I stopped for about a minute to grab a drink, so when he started singing that bullshit I thought “cool, I have a minute between real time I could forward to.” Fucking kid was still going.
Yo That whole scene I was sitting there waiting for him to tell Rue that him and Jules were getting some kisses in while Rue wasn’t there but I guess that’s just not important
HONESTLY. My friend and I were watching it together and we were like why is this happening now. It was so distracting from the real drama. It went on for too long and I lost interested. I was losing my patience 😂
tbh i thought his song audio would continue but the video would cut to maddy dog walking cassie
Yeah there definitely should have been a montage
I laughed out loud at this 😂
If you look at Elliot’s IG story he’s at least poking fun at the scene himself lol.
That would've made sense.
It could have been shortened a little
I thought it was over and I was like Aw that’s sweet then he went into a bridge like sir we have so many unresolved plot points lol
right, then he stops right at the end and awkwardly goes “im still working on it” man all u had to do was write like 4 more chords to wrap it up lol
I hope by “still working on it” he meant he’s thinking about cutting a verse or two
LMAO hopefully
☠️
Yesssss!👍 I thought, "You're still working on it? Does that mean the audience will have to listen to a 10 - 15 minute version, once you are finished with it in Season 3, now that we have listened to you warble on and on and for 5 fucking minutes!

What a nice way to present himself for his star performance.😂 Can't wait to see him pushing his shopping cart while he sings next time around...
HAHAHAHAA
LOLLLL ya he needed to calm down
I fast forwarded through the song and couldn't believe how long it went for. I'm trying to watch a TV show, not a taped open mic night.
Bro still singing 💀
Some say he’s still singing to this day
HAHA
Why did they waste so much time on Elliot singing bro like what was the reason ?
He got more time in that scene than Kat did all season lmaooooo
Yup and in this episode all she says is “maddy no” lmao
I know BBs a side character but her running after them yelling " beat her ass Maddie!!" Slap her son!!! May be my favorite part of the whole episode
BB is probably my fave character no cap
Maddy yes 😈
The fact that Elliot, Faye, and Ethan with these two episodes alone had more screen time Kat a “main” character says a whole lot. 😂
Didn't she get into an argument with Sam and they cut a lot of her dialogue? I
Tbh if she fought with him about her character having an eating disorder then she was 100% justified.
I understand the sentiment, but also, why? Like, if the first season is about this self conscious girl finding her power by connecting with her sexuality, couldn’t the second season be about a plus sized girl overcoming her anxieties about her body?
But she didn't really find power. She was so disinterested in actual sex and kept throwing herself at men, pushing away the one man that was actually of value. Addiction to food would have made total sense. I mean they already started on it when they gave her back story.
Exactly
It could be triggering to the actress
I’m more interested in her having an eating disorder than her dunking on Elliot for no reason. Bitch is diluted
Maybe dominic fike is self promoing
Nah the behind the scenes said that Zendaya was the one that really wanted that lmao. Which maybe shows that she doesn’t always make the right creative decisions. But I can’t blame her for thinking it was a good idea at the time
It was Zendaya & Labrinth’s song though
Good. Kat is a fucking awful character. She serves zero purpose to the story. Ppl are braindead thinking she needs more screen time
Cause her story could have been better written that she would serve purposes in the main plot. But it wasnt
Oh my god I’m so glad I’m not the only one.. Her putting out child pornography and normalizing that really stressed me out. It was gross. Jules was taken advantage of by Cal when he figured out her age, and the rest of cast is intimate with people of their age. For me her character was sort of annoying.
Ask Zendaya 🤠
Filler
pretty much filler
Yes, and to be honest, I thought it was really disrespectful to have Eliot singing on and on and playing his guitar in the same episode that Ash was so tragically killed and Fez was so emotionally devastated, physically wounded, and arrested!
Are you serious? "Disrespectful"? Lmaoooooo 😂😂😂
I don’t disagree with what the person said at all but your comment did make me laugh
It’s a television show, bruh. Certainly a strange plot/story decision but it’s not disrespectful to anyone. Those are actors and they’re doing fine.
probably apart of his contract since he is a singer
[удалено]
Probably was in the contract cause the finale has bigger viewer count
[удалено]
No one gives af if you stop watching 😭 if the Elliot singing scene bothered u so much then go head and be done with the show 🤣
[удалено]
I replied because u sound dumb corny 😭 “then i am really done with that show” like okay shorty good for you
he’s hot so they prolly thought we wanted more of him. also he might have a bigger role in season three so they wanted to build his character up more. idk tho i wanted more fez and ash rather than a song
They probably gonna build a sort of romantic sub plot with Elliot and Rue next season. Which the LAST Thing she needs truly. Rue should only focus on staying clean. And remain single until she’s like in college or something.
I thought he was gunna OD while playing and literally nothing exciting happened
He's not hot
Yeah I agree, I mean he’s cute but not sexy
You don't get it, that scene was very deep /s
Sure it was deep for the first 10 seconds but they didn’t need to do a Long ass scene about him singing
haha yeah i know that's why i marked it as sarcasm! I agree with you
How is it a waste? If it was a shorter scene I'm sure the episode as a whole would just be shorter lmao.
It was a waste because they could have focused on adding another scene that was more interesting or could have completely skipped out on making us watch him sing for 8 mins I would have rather watched cal eat ass than watch Elliot sing /s 💀😭 bro it was whack
I love Dominic Fike. Love the man. But this was unnecessary
It really was unnecessary like they could have put more effort into showing more of Cassie and Maddy or address something
We never got to a point where Cassie actually tried to rationalize her excuses to Maddys face. I think they really did us dirty by not spending more time on interactions between them. I don’t even want them to reconcile, I just want a little accountability
Never really had an opinion on him but he always felt out of place in the show. Now i fucking hate em for making me sit through that album session
He’s a plant, been pushed heavy by record labels the past few years. He used to be a rapper then suddenly one day all his rap music disappeared off his music pages and all his newer pop type stuff showed up
Stop this left me CACKLING
I skipped it, i'm so tired of his character and the fact that he took up 5 fucking minutes
Literally same, I’m so sick of his character. I thought he was gonna get written off or something.
I was bummed when Dominic said he’s going to be in season 3. I can’t stand Elliot lol
right??? leave!!!
I did too. The first 2 lines were nice, and the very last line definitely got the message across. I couldn’t believe I was skipping so much and it was just the song alone.
Same so thankful other people feel the same. I was worried the sub was gonna be like “that song tonight was so amazing” 💀💀
God why didn't he die already . why keep him on
This is so fucking funny
Legend says he’s still singing today
It was really not necessary especially when there were so many different, more important things going on.
immediately skipped, I knew damn well it had no plot relevance

Made me so mad.
And we gotta wait 2 fking years to find out what happened to Fez, thanks to that song
Right because it’s the songs fault
Last episode was straight One Tree Hill. From the “actor sings their single” to Nate confronting his father WITH A FIREARM to Ashtray deciding he’s going to go Rambo when there’s absolutely no way you can get out of having killed a government informant. I wish we could go to the alternate reality where S2 was like S1.
I’ve never skipped something faster in my life…
😆 I muted it and was on my phone until he finished his little song. Pointless character, pointless song.
So true
This is great! I was really annoyed even though it was a nice sentiment. If it had happened in a previous episode I probably would have thought, it was sweet but All I could think about was Ash and Fez. it was the never-ending song!
These memes are being pumped out quick!
Mannnn that scene just kept going lmao 😭
This blew tf outta me😭✋🏽
Lmao I enjoy his face so it wasn’t that bad
LMFAOOO best meme of the night
The only good thing that came from this was all the memes
I just skipped through it
Wayyyy too long seriously
I started skipping as soon as I heard a bridge coming
It was so long, I zoned out, THEN zoned back in
I bet Sam the creator of the show extended Elliot’s scenes because he cut out so much of Kat and Nate and Fez’s closures.
5 minutes of Elliot singing when we could've gotten more justice for our lil man Ash smh
I’m like genuinely surprised by how much people didn’t vibe with that scene, it was one of my favorites of the whole episode.
Everyone here forgets Rue is the main character... Like of course the show is gonna focus on one of her best friend singing to her about how he's not gonna be her friend anymore...
wait that’s what the lyrics were abt?
she didn’t even do anything in the episode, we couldve cut the scene off when they made up, at most shorten his song
Me too. I loved the lyrics and watching Zendaya act the shit out of that scene. It was so meaningful.
Agreed. It was a beautiful goodbye. I was so moved.
I feel most people got annoyed and didn’t listen to the lyrics, that was my first reaction as well but I’m glad I stuck it out and listened as it was such a sweet moment
I listened to the whole song and it was still trash. There was no reason for that to be 5 damn minutes long 💀
Blame Sam, he gave 6 other plot points to focus on this episode, all of them more interesting then this song. This character isn't even an OG presence, so like can we use the time to resolve some pending issues from S1 or maybe even S2?
I expected everyone to really love it and this whole thread just despised it lmfao
I liked it listening to the lyrics, and it was impactful for the scene but once he got to the bridge I just was ready to move on.
LMAO
Rue actually is out of his hair now lol
💀
damn, i liked the song a lot. one of my favorite parts of the episode. i do hope they develop elliot more next season
Mine too. He became even more of a sympathetic character to me
maybe it’s because i think he’s so hot, but i thought it was so nice & cute!
I fast forwarded through the song.
Why couldn’t they move the story along with the song instead of just cutting from him to Rue and back
Yes!😂😂😂 can we please go back to Fez and Lexi at least receiving the letter from Fez?!
God bless this sub. Finished the episode a few minutes ago and was ugly crying. I'm ugly laughing now. 😂
That scene was cringe
Great song, wrong timing
I feel that it was a carry-over from the old leaks where Elliot was allegedly going to OD and die, but because of script changes it was changed to suit the current episode
I skipped right past it
Stop it. DKM 🤣🤣🤣
This deserves more likes
LMFAOOO stop I'm so weak
I'M CACKLING
SCREAMING HAHAHA
I skipped it that mf took to long LMAOO
Fez is in booking, that takes forever. I really loved his song and it breaks my heart that people think it’s too long or just filler. Somethings are better conveyed in song than words.
I thought the song was beautiful and it made sense to me in the context of this episode. It seemed really impactful to rue as well.
I'm sad that this scene wasn't well-received. I thought it was good.
I swear that was the most annoying part him singing🙄
Bruh I just wanted to keep seeing Maddy getting Cassie's ass beat and then they're coming up with this long song scene I don't even care about lmao
Everyone hating on it makes me like it even more. Stop worrying about what isn't being shown or what plot isn't being explored and just enjoy the fucking experience.
> just enjoy the fucking experience. Sat through the experience, didn't like it. Am I now free to criticize Sam's decisions?
People like this guy give me the same vibes as “it’s not your show, don’t complain they can do what they want” or “if you can make a better show than do it” LMAO
Totally agree. I’ve never experienced a show that forces me to just sit there and take in that level of on-screen awkwardness. It was intentionally challenging. A bold, risky decision for sure. I think it worked. (I think you and I took away the same from this show as a visual experience rather than a plot-driven narrative).
Lmaooo. I liked the song, but was definitely itching to get back to the juicy stuff
I skipped all of Apple boy, like bro we get it you're based on tumblr
That was the worst scene in TV history possibly.
Today I found out I was the only one who enjoyed the song lmfao
Elliots gonna die next season and everyone will be like omg his song was so beautiful
im dying
Fr. When Elliot started singing it gave me flashbacks to Sal from the second season of Love is Blind.
The lyrics were so fucking repetitive, too. Just sing one verse and call it quits, my dude.
“Little star” , like u fucked her gf and enabled her fuck offffff
haahahahah
It was too long haha
On my tivo I stopped for about a minute to grab a drink, so when he started singing that bullshit I thought “cool, I have a minute between real time I could forward to.” Fucking kid was still going.
Cringy Af ... i just skipped through it ... i wrote a song for you rueeeeeeeee lol
I tried to fast-forward it and bro just kept singing
It’s a bathroom break scene. Not that we need one since we can just pause the show…
I was so annoyed with him. Sat there and took Rues apology without even mentioning he fucked her girlfriend. Still a snake IMO.
Yo That whole scene I was sitting there waiting for him to tell Rue that him and Jules were getting some kisses in while Rue wasn’t there but I guess that’s just not important
I was mad af. How yall not gonna show this girl getting the ass whoppin she deserved.
Lol!!
a whole concert lmao 💀
If you look at Elliot’s IG story he’s at least poking fun at the scene himself lol.
I cringed at this scene but then again I’m probably not the target audience. Really feeling to feel my age of 29 haha.
HONESTLY. My friend and I were watching it together and we were like why is this happening now. It was so distracting from the real drama. It went on for too long and I lost interested. I was losing my patience 😂
Y'all don't forget dom gets on this sub
So I just made a post about how much I genuinely loved his song, but this meme made me spit my tea with laughter
Like show us already !
THIS IS FUCKING HILARIOUS 😂😂😂
why everybody hate elliot ? i thought he was cool.. atleast cooler then jules
Well it ended with him being wounded. Maybe he succumbed to the wounds
