I watched the first episode of the prequel a while back and I found it boring and uninteresting so I dropped it right away. Skip to 6 months later when I found this season recommended to me by Netflix and since I was really bored I just watched expecting trash that I would drop immediately bur instead I ended up binge watching 22 episodes in 5 days . This show will surprise you if you stick with it. You will love some contestants and you will love to hate others. Just get trough the first 3 "boring" episodes and you'll be grateful later when the show gets really good and gives you moments that you won't see even in dramas. Just watch it please.
