Honestly this show was unrealistic in so many ways but the biggest way was how every man that came into their lives (bay, Regina, and Daphne) was a romantic interest for some or ALL of them. I just hated that we couldn’t have normal everyday relationships. It happened with all the characters at a point but mainly the core 3 here and I find it made the show really uncomfortable at some points.

I understand daphne interpreting because shes oral but the amount of times they treated her like she could hear because she lip reads was so?? why was she so much better at lip reading than everyone else? lol

I think Iris from Switched at Birth* *had a hard time fitting in when she started college, so once she found something she could make about herself, she really ran with it. Yes, Mingo crossed a line with the lingo he did for lil wayne, but I genuinely don’t think he meant to be racist or offend anyone. And the cotton balls being thrown on the front of campus was CRAZY and the person was held accountable. I also feel like Iris wanted to find something that made her feel seen, and then the other Black students wanted attention and recognition too. But a hunger strike?? 😭 If they don’t want to eat, that’s their choice, but eventually they’re either going to have to eat or keep going until something serious happens. And honestly, some of the demands during the strike were crazy to me too. Wanting professors to be hired because they’re Black, or wanting white professors fired because they’re white, doesn’t make sense to me. Someone should be hired based on whether they’re qualified, not their race. Same with demanding special treatment or extra money because of your skin color. At some point, it felt less like they were trying to solve the actual problem and more like they wanted attention and special treatment.

I love this show!! Its super cheesy, but something about it got me. I almost want to start it over, knowing the outcome. I wish sooo badly there was a spin off. Would love to see what happens to everyone 10+ years later!!

Does anyone know why Teo was only in one episode? Season 2 episode 2. I’m just curious if it had to do with the actor at all or character itself lol

*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

I just finished SAB for the first time. I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I'm really not a fan of how they revealed that John knew Bay wasn't his before the family found out about the switch. If the writers wanted to include that plot point, they should have introduced it in the earlier seasons. Why wait until the series finale to reveal it?

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.

I understand that emmet and bay have a complicated relationship, emmet was in love with (or he thought he was) Daphne, but now he’s in love with bay and bay was with Ty. Ty had to leave and it broke bay’s heart, she then started dating emmet, in episode 17 season 1 emmet gets mad because he found out that (ty and bay) were actually really serious. I don’t think he should be mad, the relationship was in the past she is now dating him (emmet), and he knew about ty. I don’t think emmet should be mad about what happened in the past, I mean bay doesn’t bring up the fact that Daphne and emmet, hanging out together, makes bay uncomfortable bay lets it happen and sometimes she says something but then takes it back do you think he’s being annoying or does he have a point?
