[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 331496, member: 7"] You're right. It was a good idea to get them out of the house and into a setting, even though I missed the familiarity of the kitchen and living room from the house. In the hotel, they didn't quite know where to place them for the more personal, character-driven scenes. They would put them in the kitchen, but with the men there, it just didn't work as well. I didn't necessarily find the new co-stars dull, but I definitely thought they were a little out of place. Don Cheadle, a very good comedic actor, I thought was well-suited, but he should've been more of a villain perhaps at the beginning. He was funny, though, and I thought he mixed with the women well. Yes, that might have worked, or maybe something similar. Maybe that could've been one of the two men already in the cast, or perhaps they could've reworked the line-up of characters and worked a story like this in. They may have worked.
