This conflict had the potential for engrossing drama, but the plot’s background feels rushed with its choppy transition and lack of footage or other visuals to help communicate the premise of the story.Īnd although Dragun and Larray are the most compelling to watch on screen, they do not live in the main Hype House. Observing the complex dynamic between the two is a bit more captivating than the other plots, as the pair squabble over Larray’s team blaming Dragun for his irresponsibility after testing positive for COVID-19, resulting in production being shut down. Though many of the Hype House members have similarly dreary personalities, Nikita Dragun’s confidence and ability to stir the pot as well as Larray’s outgoing and lovable persona thankfully add an entertaining factor to the mundaneness. Beginning with Hudson also sets a dull tone, as his confessionals lack the big energy and personality normally associated with entertaining reality television. But opening with someone who wants to break away from the house counters the supposed purpose of illustrating the success of the Hype House. The episode begins with his narrative of moving out to focus on music.
