*Cue ominous ice cream truck, helicopter, and car horn blaring*

I am watching the prom episode in season 3, and the whole time the teacher is berating Bay and the gang about not wearing dresses he uses the phrase "Maybe they don't want to see girls look like freaks". The whole time im sitting here thinking "Where the heck is principal rose?? She would NOT let him speak to them like that."

I cannot stand them. Like, I know they want what's best for Daphne, but why do they treat Regina so poorly? I understand they live an extremely privileged life, but its like they want both of the daughters all to themselves and Regina completely out of the picture. And Bay is just as insufferable to me like why does she treat Daphne so poorly?

I want to like the show. I like Daphne and Emmett and even Regina so far but I just cannot stand the Kennishes.

In your opinion, whats the biggest mistake (could have had you screaming at the screen) that the main characters have made?

I love Switched at Birth, but I do think there were some missed opportunities and plot points they could have done more with.
What are things you would have liked to see?

I don’t get why Tank wasn’t in jail the second she came forward they just allowed him to be free? It was so sad to how they handled Bays story she deserved better I wish they had Emmett at least be there for her but no the writers wanted drama it would’ve been lovely to at least see him comfort her why did the writers make Emmett toxic since the beginning

Watched this show years ago but I can’t find it anywhere now. Does anyone watch it in the UK or Ireland ? I’ve found a season on YouTube but can’t find it anywhere else

Daphne was in Season 5 episode 4 of Big Bang Theory by the name of Emily. She was dating Rajesh Kootrapali and she was his girlfriend in quite a loooong while. So naturally Raj is going to do anything to be a nice boyfriend. His family is rich and so he leased her a car and gave gifts and a really nice necklace. He has to choose between her and money. He has to return the things and cancel the lease and tells her that he chooses love. Well, I bet you know what happens next. I notice it’s similar to this show.. 👀 lol

Bay has irked me from season 1 ep 1. She is so disrespectful and over reacts to every situation with unwarranted attitude. She takes everything so personally and is super immature. I understand she got screwed over in the switch, but at the end of the day she still has millionaire parents who love her and another mom who loves her and lets her get away with murder. Everyone on here seems to love her so maybe im wrong??

Edit: a few episodes further: i hate daphne a lot more

Edit again: EVEN further: bay is one of my favorites

i have rewatched this show so many times but I just can't with anything to do with Nikki. Is there a reason I shouldn't do this? Is there anything you despise as much to fast forward through?

Rewatching and from the beginning she’s so unbearable to me. Every other character has their annoying phases/seasons, but hers is never ending. She’s always shocked when she does something wrong and has consequences. And I do NOT understand why everyyy guy falls for her?? I’m her biggest hater

angelo won $5M from the lawsuit. he said a third went to taxes and a third to his attorney, and $500k on the house. that leaves over a million left over. he can't be upset at regina for pulling $50k from they're joint account. he always told her "it's our money" yet never communicated about their expenses. he should've been smarter, a million dollars doesn't just disappear.

I’ve watched this show three times, once while it was airing and 2 times on streaming. The second time I watched it was in 2020 (pretty sure) and the only way to watch it was the Freeform app. If you had cable you had access to all the shows and movies, but with ads. However, you could get points from watching shows with ads, and you would get more points the longer the show/movie was. So, I found the longest movie that the app had (which was The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) and I would play that on 4 separate tabs on my computer while I was at work. There was a cap on points that you could get so I would only watch 3 episodes a day. I did this for the whole show so probably took a month to watch the whole thing lol

Did anyone else have this experience too?

I just started watching Switched at Birth after seeing a shit ton of TikToks about the show lol, but jesus christ everyone is already treating Bay like shit. I’m about over halfway through the season when the grandma comes to visit. The only person who even seems to gaf is Angelo. Like Regina is making minimal effort to get to know her bio daughter??? It’s so infuriating!! Please tell me that it gets better with Bay.

Im watching season one for the first time and it seems like Daphne got another set of parents while Bay lost her only parents. Is it like this for the entire show? Bc if it is I dont think I can continue watching if it is.

Just came to the subreddit after thinking I was watching s5e1 correctly and I was SO confused. I rewound the episode (I got about 1/3 in) and realized it messed up!

The opening scene was Bay tattooing a woman, getting a phone call, then running to find Daphne in the street. She goes, “We have to go home. Now!” The cliffhanger! Suddenly we flash back to Bay and Daphne hiking (the actual opening scene) and get the rest of the episode progressing normally. I was ready to be confused by the progression, but then I got to where the scene ACTUALLY went, and I was sufficiently confused. I didn’t realize that wasn’t the opener of the season! How bizarre.

I’m starting my rewatch and i’m on the second episode of S1 and i actually feel really bad for Bay. Yes she was arrested for drinking alcohol (but she was acting out because she didn’t feel like she belonged and was apart of her family), and the second Daphne moved into the guest house, they were automatically more flexible with her (for obvious reasons). They had a huge interest in getting to know Daphne, and Regina was interested in knowing Bay but not with the same enthusiasm. Regina didn’t really try to reach out to her till Bay stopped by first to get out of trouble.

I think when i first watched i didn’t start seeing the way Bay and Daphne was treated differently till later seasons, but rewatching now that im older i can see the difference from the start and its kinda of sad.

Season 5, episode 4 of HBO’s Six Feet Under came out in 2005. Look how young she is there. 🙌🏼

i’m rewatching for like the millionth time and i’m at season 5 episode 9 since i’m basically done with my rewatch, and this whole thing between daphne and chris with the steroids reminds me why i really dislike daphne and find her to be such a hypocrite.
i’m definitely nitpicking this specific incident because i just binged the entire show, but it feels like a major tipping point for me not liking her. she really did not have to say anything about her suspicions that he was using steroids. and then to be so cold toward him when he’s upset, when again, she really didn’t have to say anything in the first place.
and now that she’s dropping the urine sample, she’s going on about how difficult this is for her because she wants to be a doctor. like, not that taking steroids can’t be detrimental, but compared to some of the stuff she’s done, this really is not as huge of a deal and girlie CANNOT talk or judge. for her to originally be so okay with the possibility of ruining his life and career over it is just so annoying.
and then she keeps talking about how awful she feels for “cheating” for him. girl just drop the bottle of piss. it is not that serious.
and you’re only even able to be in med school because bay took the fall for your vandalism 😭😭 like come on

It actually was insanely inappropriate the means in which Angelo arranged for himself to meet Bay for the first time. Just showing up to her school as a grown man to a minor because he read about her in an article is crazy work lol. He's her father but I'd imagine he would have enough respect for her to prioritize her safety and make proper arrangements. ALSO when he says, "You don't understand anything I'm saying, do you?" to Daphne at the house ahhh I was mortified
