This isn't too fair for me to say because I quit seeing Different World after the first half of the first episode of the second year.
I loved the show at first,but after the first year there were a few people who were voted off the island-er,show.They had made the show special for me and without Denise,Maggie or Millie(let alone Anne Beatts,the first producer whose touches were apreciated by me) the show just didn't have the same spark.JMHO

I think the first person I would vote off would be denise. She lacked personality and the show thrived after her departure.

I would kick Kinu Owens off! She was a idiot that only prolonged the inevitable. I love Whitley and she was put through the humilation of having to beg for Dwayne's love and affection. Kick that heffa off!

I think Lettie.Not neccesary to the show.But I liked Millie.They should've developed her character so she would not have been so one dimensional.They could've given her character a make-over and she could've competed with Whitley.

Yeah, I agree - Millie should've stayed on the show. Her character had so much potential. They could've given her a bit of a make-over - smartened her up and made her stand-up to Whitley instead of following her around all the time.
Anyway - boot Freddie Brookes off the island cos she did my head in! Maggie should be the winner cos she was the best character on the whole show. Millie was cool too.
Why does everybody hate Denise so much? Sure she was a bit wet but she was alright.

I voted off Ernest. Some of you are wondering "Who is Ernest"? He appeared as a regular during the 89-90 season and dated Freddie.
