I sincerely hope that Chanel isn't broken down into a good girl by the end of the season, because I'm not here for it. It's wonderful to have the cruel HBIC be the main character for once, because it's different.

Well, I don't necessarily want a "good girl" lead (I don't like Grace either, Veronica from Heathers murders people, and Cady from Mean GIrls turns INTO the alpha bitch) But the thing with leads is they do need to be at least
somewhat likeable or three dimensonal. Chanel is neither (in fact, she has less layers as the main character with two episodes than Madison Montgomery had in one), and that just gets.. kinda stale.
I don't want her to turn into a nice girl, but you can make a character three dimensional and somewhat sympathetic while keeping her as an alpha bitch (or demote her and make someone more threedimensional the lead). Madison is an example. Hell, Chad from Scream Queens is relatively three dimensional in comparison (you at least get something redemptive with his Boone friendship) There's
Paxton
from Hostel and
Blanca
from Killer Movie. I'm all for making a bitchy mean girl the lead, but you gotta give her a little more than bitchy mean girl. Like, at least give her a co-lead My Super Psycho Sweet 16 style
