I can't escape, I greet them all Greet them all, huh
Spirit's come and see them all, huh She could stomach it

They definitely lied to you about you not being in a role that people was not watching. You played an important role and I loved watching you. You stepped outside of the box with your style and you looked good doing it!
@keba773
Agreed. I loves spirits character 💕
@rooseveltwilliams1073
Spirit was my favorite on One on One. Flex was annoying on the show for me.
Spirit was so dope and I resonated with the character.
@kathrinecollins-williams6417
I loved spirit
@LetztlkboutIt
I stopped watching when they took off Spirit. She was my favorite
@therealbauce
Letting go of Spirit and Diane was a huge mistake the creators made, and they basically removed Flex too. They were crucial to the vibe of the show and the reason why it only lasted one season after. That show could've lasted 10 seasons.

@Chef Sicily Sierra That would have been amazing. Brianna and Arnez should've just stayed in Baltimore. You did such a great job, Spirit was so funny.
@madwheelsgaming2360
They wanted to tell Brianna’s story so removing characters is the correct thing to do but they removed the characters in the wrong way. It felt like the were just getting rid of the characters they didn’t want to write anymore and not that those characters had moved on. For instance, if Dwayne got sick and dies then Flex commits suicide the night before Brianna goes back home from college to visit and console him so he can get through it. He does this because he’s now truly alone. The 2 most important people in his life are no longer around. Then Brianna has to deal with that and she leans on arnez to do this. Then you tell the story of Brianna and arnez as they grow into adulthood together.
@therealbauce
@@madwheelsgaming2360 They removed the wrong people, that was the problem. One on One wasn't just about Brianna and Arnez...Flex, Duane, and Spirit were main characters. Remove them and the vibe changes. Brianna had a story but that didn't mean they had to stop Flex's story. They dropped the ball on a classic show, no excuses for that bs.
