Actually... no. That's genuinely just how I feel at this point  O does have a few funny bits, but most of the time she's just unbearably annoying. And them trying to make her "likeable" is what really sealed it. She's too evil to redeem at this point.
2 and 3 are atrociously acted and written
5 is one of the only 2 Chanels that actually makes me laugh. That alone makes me like her

I mean, you have a fair point about her not being redeemable, but it's still kind of funny to me. Puts Heather Chandler & Regina George to SHAME. But, I still prefer Madison, lowkey
#2 is a mess, and terribly written & acted, yes, but the lines she had as a ghost were just so ridiculous that they had me rolling
But I won't understand your hatred for #3 or love for #5, ever. #3's deadpan and monotonous most of the time, even though she's saying flippant and outrageous things, and Billie's doing that absolutely perfectly. Meanwhile, #5 is an annoyingly stupid and pathetic character that has nothing interesting or redeeming about her. I laughed when she said "Wait, what?" when Chanel randomly blamed her for everything after she kinda lost the presidency, but otherwise, she does nothing interesting or entertaining by any means, and I have no sympathy for someone who always seems on the edge of a mental breakdown then runs right back to Chanel 3 seconds later.

I hope Chad gets a personality because I like him, he's really funny but other than him loving porking we know nothing about him.

Completely fair point on funny. Humor is the most subjective thihng ever. I wouldn't HATE her if not for the redeeming stuff they're pushing though. Like... there is a point when a character crosses the line to irredeemable. Chanel's crossed it about fifty times. And I definitely preferred Madison; more developed, more fleshed out, funnier, better acted, and not afraid to embrace her villain role.
That scene is what cemented her as my most hated Chanel
Huh? I have zero sympathy for Chanel #5. That's part of why she's so hilarious to me. Here's this spoiled, entitled, narcissistic homophobic bitch who keeps getting ripped to pieces by literally everyone and melting down in the most hilariously exaggerated way possible (Chanel isn't joking when she says the girl is two steps from a mental institution) She's this shows Gretchen Weiners or Heather Duke (who are my fav Plastic AND my fav Heather) Abigail is also giving a perfectly campy performance and running as far with the comedy as she can.
Plus, I don't like Chanel, and she does get some good Chanel drags in.
I was actually okay with #3's acting up until Six Minutes in Hell or whatever, where she actually had to do things beyond be a zombie (get pissed off at Predatory Lez, be regretful about her death, etc.) and she completely fell apart  As for the character... I find most her writing to be more annoying and stupid than funny.

Don't get me wrong I like you and Chad too but if you hate the Chanels so much for being mean bitches how can you like Chad who basically ****s everyone, talks about sex all the time and only dates people who are really rich and popular?  He's a horrible person just like Chanel

The only Chanel I really dislike for bitchiness is O, and there's a couple reasons for that:
1) She's WAY more evil than Chad (or anyone else on this show), but the show is suddenly trying to frame her sympathetically for some incomprehensible reason. It doesn't mesh and creates a horribly inconsistent character that I can't remotely sympathize with, but am still being expected to genuinely worry for (this is the reason I actually HATE her)
2) Chad makes me laugh. Chanel just annoys me. Acting is probably part of it, but their humor styles are different too. If Chanel made me laugh like Chad does, I'd like her way more.
3) Chad is a supporting character so he isn't overused. Chanel is the main character and is MASSIVELY overused. Even after the pilot I said I was kinda sick of her. There's a reason Heathers and Mean Girls didn't make the Heathers and Plastics the main characters.
I loved Madison too, mainly because she didn't fall into any of the traps Chanel is.
I'd also like to point out that I like the borderline psychotic Chanel #6, Cathy Munsch who is a[
murderer (!!!!)
, and the insanely bitchy Chanel #5. My issues with 2 and 3 have nothing to do with how meanspirited they are. They're probably the least bitch of the Chanels

Chanel #3 is soo overrated here. I think Billie is a terrible actress and have trouble understand her whispers.

Forgot to mention, but agreed. I sometimes have a really hard time understanding what she says
In Billie's defense, I think she's being horribly directed as well.

I get it  I think the only problem with Chanel is that she has too many scenes. That's why you all love Madison so much because she has had only a few scenes and she got those iconic one liners. Like she was the #3 of Coven  Rarely seen but whenever she opens her mouth she becomes the funniest.

I think Chanel was pretty irrelevant from 2 to 6.
She has a great amount of screen time now

I was in awe about how much screentime Chanel got in the first two episodes. I didn't expect it to be just so MUCH, but I loved it, mostly because I love her.
There was far too little Chanel in Chainsaw, and far too much Grace, then, too.
Her screentime in the last few episodes has been perfect.

Pretty much. She is being a lot better used now screentime wise, but I'm already worn down from her and she's got a way worse problem (I'm being asked to sympathize with a character who's yet to be given in-character redemptive qualities) I wouldn't want Chad in Chanel's role either (I mean.. I think he'd be a little bet on account of being not AS ruthlessly evil, but I still think his routine would get old)

The only thing you don't get is that Billie's character is supposed to be exactly like that. She represents the tumblr girls. She has said she had no personality and that the only reason she had joined the sorority is to get something to define her. That's what makes her so funny imo. She's actually like a dead person. Her lack of emotions and her thoughts about the world are actually so ridiculous it became the most awesome thing for me in the show. It may seem like it's Billie's fault but if you watch interviews with her she smiles a lot and talk in a whole different way.

The only character development problem is with Hester who have basically obtained a whole different personality in episode 3 and ever since that I don't get what's going on with her.

Ugh. I kinda really miss poorly-dressed, neckbrace-ridden, ultra-dedicated and so weird Hester.
Her makeover happening in episode 3 was tragic. That should've happened circa episode 6 or 7.
The new, devious, kinda-evil bitch Hester is still just as amazing, but I wish we had the other Hester longer.
