Reception
The show was critically panned.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Since then van Outen has distanced herself from the show.[10][11]
gollark: It took a while, but I finished breeding all my BSA dragons.
gollark: I should "help" people by breeding some of my incredibly messy BSA dragons to the AP.
gollark: I just saw and missed a silver in the coast... annoying.
gollark: I love autorefreshing, it's so much more convenient than just *waiting* for eggs to get enough views to hash.
gollark: This is irritating. There are so many prizes and silvers and golds in the AP and I *keep* missing them.
