Was Blue set up to be shot down?

Is Blue the fall girl? Someone that is in the series to be made fun of?

One of the things that struck me was her complete lack of any acting talent as expressed so far. Then they set her up as a drunk and put into positions to be laughed at.

Brady has already had several shots at her, saying she doesn't like her "colour" (racist innuenedo?) and she is a stinking bitch etc. Eddie has made two vids one with her in a drunken state and the other making a mockery of her in a shower scene with Brady. Somehow these things seem to pass by as she is such a bad performer.

It is interesting to see if Blue is going to be written out, or she will make a come back, suddenly "discovering" some screen talent. I'm just wondering how much they have paid her to be treated like this.

I think Blue's character was definitely set-up to be a bit of comic relief. I don't know why everybody is so anti-Blue, though. Blue makes me laugh a lot! Her character is supposed to be a little ridiculous. I don't think she's a bad performer, I think she's probably just being a sillier version of who she is in real life. I know a lot of party girls who are a lot like Blue.

Welcome to the Cove, Jennifer. Exciting to have another NoHo/WeHo fan here!! A lot of the ol' LG crowd hasn't come around to how great the HoHos are!

Thanks Jay ;D

I don't think she has had chance to display much talent. She certainly can't hold the camera like Cara or Leah, but I've been reviewing her role and been somewhat shocked at the way she has been abused by the cast and the fans.

Even I have been unfair to her in a way, because I described her as a pornstar in one review, although to be fair that was a term arrived at by consensus in discussion with several others. It does show how the mob mentalilty can get out of hand though.

Don't bet against Blue.

OK. We will watch with interest. I've had a feeling, like I had about Brady, that Blue has got more to offer. When I first saw Brady, I got a bad impression, but she was pretending, and like Eddie she has blossomed.

So far, Blue hasn't done it for me. She mumbles her lines and any improv she does is poor. There's a fine line between annoying and cool I guess, but she hasn't yet crossed it in my eyes.
