Why the New Season of Elite is Worth Watching and Bitching

!!SPOILER ALERT!!

If you don’t want me to spoil the fourth season for you, dni. X

Ever since the news that some of the OG characters won’t be joining the new season of Élite, some people have made up their minds that they won’t watch the new season of the installment. I was one of them. However, on Jun 18, I’ve decided to give the new season of the series a shot.

It was weird. That’s one of the ways to put it. It was strange not seeing Lucrecia walking in Las Encinas’ hallway while shouting, “You Bitch.” Or not seeing Carla going tensed every time someone mention the word body. Or not seeing our dysfunctional murderer, Polo, who apparently didn’t end up in jail in the last season, but hell (hopefully). With several new characters pulling up in Las Encincas, the first few minutes of this first episode feels. . . different and dull, to be honest.

The fourth season of Elite (sorry, I’m not sure which spelling is correct, with or without the E with the accent or not, so I’m just gonna stick to the Wikipedia spelling from now on, lol) was kicked off by a few short stories about some of the OG characters. Guzman, Rebe, and Caye were the first three who got their short story premiered, and let’s just say they shouldn’t have been bothered to make another short story. Nothing could top what this trio got to offer on this short story project… campaign… series? I don’t know… marketing strategy?

ANYWAYS, that’s not the point.

In the new season of Elite, we will be introduced with a few new characters whom we will LOVE and HATE (using all caps just so you know that we’re gonna either love them or hate them).

We will meet Benjamin. The new principal who has the fucking audacity to replace (or should I say FIRED) Azucena, the previous principal who is also Ander’s mother, without any warning. This what made everyone, including ME, hates him. However, he’s hot though. A dilf (Is that an appropriate thing to say? If not. . . PLEASE let me know). Throughout the season… I don’t exactly know what I feel about Benjamin, though? Like… he’s an annoying principal and kinda dictator-ish one and an AWFUL father, but he was SO SOFT when he looked at Samu during the debate practice. So I guess… jury’s still out (but hate is kinda more dominant in this case).

Then, we have the twin. Patrick and Ari. I HATE their characters. *SPOILER ALERT* I HATE how all Patrick did throughout this season was either *accidentally* hit her sister or ruining Ander and Omar’s relationship. I mean… can’t he just ruin someone else’s relationship??? Ander and Omar were probably the only good thing that came out of the previous season, and now the writer decided to add A THIRD WHEEL. For what? JUICY SEX? Hell no! If I could drag Patrick out of Las Encinas and send him back to London, trust me, I would.

And just like her twin, Ari is another annoying character in the new season that shouldn’t have existed in the first place. But before I get into it, let me just say that Carla Diaz (the actress who played Are) is FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. She’s literally God’s favorite… but her character? Not so much. Out of the four new students in Las Encinas, Ari’s character was the only one who made me cringe the hardest. I don’t know what the writer thought while writing Ari into the story. Do they think we need another rich brat that will *SPOILER ALERT* fall for the poor? Because we DON’T. We had Carla, and that’s enough; it’s time to write another twist. And ALSO, do they think we need a new classist bitch? Because, again, we OBVIOUSLY don’t. We don’t need a new character who’s just gonna ~~replace~~ Lucrecia’s role as our favorite classist bitch. Ari’s character was a fucking disaster. The writer was trying TOO hard to replace Lucrecia with her. Lucrecia was THAT bitch, but Ari was trying TOO hard to be that bitch, and every fucking time she “try” I just wanted to tell her, “Sis, just shut the fuck up.”

At the beginning of the season, we were also introduced to Ari and Patrick’s younger sister, Mencia. She’s my FAVORITE new character so far. A fucking badass. Gorgeous, and I LOVE her, even though she’s a complicated character to understand. I love how she develops her relationship with Rebe, and I love how it turned out. Their relationship was… intimate… dangerous… and so SOFT and kinda turned me on, to be honest. Her chemistry with Rebe was INSANE. I just… Mencia was the most tolerable new character for me. She should stay if it were up to me.

AND now… another character that I HATE SO MUCH. Prince Phillipe. I don’t even wanna call him “Prince” that’s just EW… he’s an asshole. A jerk. A pig. A son of a bitch. Or any words that suit to describe men’s pig-like behavior. Phillipe disgusts me. Seriously. I thought I was gonna love him, yeah… because you know… at first, I sympathize with him for having no friends, but NOW I know why he doesn’t have any. HE’S A FUCKING A PIG. Common pig-like behavior that we often find in men today is stuffed into one disgusting character named Phillipe. I just… want to punch him so BAD. If they give me a chance, I definitely would.

Enough shit-talking about the characters. Now, what else?

OH YEAH, the plot. I seriously have mixed feelings about it. I love how they slowly build up the story just like before, but I don’t think it was as strong as the last three seasons. I mean, yeah… they have to make three fucking seasons to solve ONE problem. But I thought the new season will turn out at least half-good, but no. It wasn’t even near that.

They did highlight the characters’ side story, but they didn’t wrap it as well as before. It’s still premature, and I believe if they continue to develop the story and give them the right amount of screen time, it will be perfect.

For instance, Cayetana and Phillipe’s storyline. It is actually scary seeing what happened to Caye (though I don’t like her characters in the last two seasons). She was a professional social climber and THAT was seen as something beneficial for Phillipe. That what makes him an absolute jerk and what makes him think it’s okay to abuse Caye (A fucking pig, right?). Their storyline is actually synonymous with what happened in today’s world and the writer made the right move by bringing this issue to the screen just so we can be more aware that things like this DO HAPPEN AND NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. However, they did not cook the story well. I feel like we only see a glimpse of their story, which is VERY unfortunate. Their story was interesting and scary to watch, but instead, the writer decided to, “oh yeah… let’s just give them more unnecessary love triangle between Samu, Guzman, and Ari.” Let me tell you something, NO ONE WANTS THAT. We want to see Phillipe in JAIL. No one wants to see Guzman and Samu (The perfect duo since the last two season if I may add) fighting over a girl that definitely not worth punching each other’s faces. I guess it’s safe to assume that Guzman and Samu have a type. Samu: the completely out-of-your-league girl and Guzman: The I-had-Nadia-but-girl-like-Lucrecia-still-turns-me-on girl.

Despite endless things that are worth bitching for, there are some parts that did not make me regret binge-watching this season. There weren’t that many, but I guess it was okay.

First, throughout the season, I’ve came to a realization that Ander and Omar (Despite having to go through many ups and downs) still my favorite couple, and WE SHOULD LEAVE THEM ALONE TO BE HAPPY. PLEASE @Elite Writer. They are meant for each other like… CAN WE GET A FUCKING SPIN-OFF WHERE THEY GET THEIR HAPPY ENDING? And maybe… some *cough* intimate scenes *mm wink*

Another good thing and heart-warming moment in this season are where Ari (Yes, Ari, the girl that I explicitly stated I don’t like) showing us her big sister act. It’s just so SOFT seeing Ari hugging the vulnerable Mencia while telling her that she will be by her side. I mean… she doesn’t really do a good job when it comes to the Classist Bitch Ari, but when it comes to acting like a big sister… SHE WON. It was so… heart-warming. And she looks like she gives the best hug. OH P.S. I LOVE CARLA DIAZ (ARI) AND MARTINA CARIDDI (MENCIA)’S RELATIONSHIP OFFSCREEN.

And what I thankful for this season was SAMUEL FUCKING GARCIA. Let me just say that… HE’S A BEAUTIFUL AND UNDERRATED. This season… we get to see his SOFT side as a friend, and I think THAT deserves more recognition. When Mencia and Rebe need a place to stay… HE OPENED HIS DOOR FOR THEM. Even offered them the bed instead of the couch (though they refused). THEN, when Omar and Ander went to a break-up… HE TOOK CARE OF OMAR. He opened the curtain just so his friend doesn’t sleep in the dark when the sun is practically out. Not to mention when Ander came to his house to get all of his stuff… HE FUCKING LENDS HIM HIS SHOULDER and lets Ander cry his eyes out. Samuel fucking Garcia you big softie. I WANT A FRIEND (maybe boyfriend) like Samuel Garcia. And this is also worth mentioning: the fight between Guzman and Samu. Samu was legit CRYING when Guzman returned after punching the hell out of him after the whole shitshow that happened. Samu was willing to throw everything he had with Ari (tHANK GOD) because of his friendship with Guzman. SEE? This is why I’m thankful for this season; we get to see this side of Samuel Garcia.

I guess, despite annoying characters that somehow made it to the story, there are several things I’ve previously mentioned that make this season worth watching, at least once. As the last three seasons enthusiast, I must say that it’s disappointing to see some of the OG characters leave the show. Especially those who made the series even more interesting (Yes, I’m talking about Lucrecia).

It doesn’t hurt to give the new season a shot. Who knows that we’re gonna end up loving it instead of bitching about it, right?

Um... I guess that's it?

Well, ok. Bye. <3

Yes, I know. That was the worst way to sign off. I gotta find a better and cooler way to do it, but for now, Bye!
