The packaging really was the only appealing aspect of this entire set. I provided a brief review here.

My opinion did not soften with the price drop.

ETA: Good luck, Pam Lol

I agree completely. I so wanted to like this set, but thought it was dreadful.

Thanks for your input. I am passing on it.

Same here. Kind of a waste of great packaging! And the obviously fake reviews were another turnoff. I took another look on Amazon and thought: "What makes you think you'll like it any better now that it's cheaper?"

I paid about $16 for it and I actually threw my set away. I thought about donating to the thrift but I just couldn't do that to another human being. My nose involuntarily crinkles every time I think of the title

I know somebody is thinking that I should have put it on share the wealth. That would be like offering the VF version of meth. No matter how many warnings have been given, you just know someone will have to try it. It's all fun and games until Holly Perkins leads a horde of smiling zombies through 5000 knee lifts and can't do one of them on the beat. I mean, what are the odds that you wouldn't accidentally hit the beat? The endless loop music is somewhat hypnotizing. Maybe that's why they felt the need to be relentlessly repetitive. Or perhaps it is because Holly Perkins is clearly channeling Dexter and those women are afraid to stop. They are all smiling so hard that you expect a creepy dentist to pop in any moment.

Suddenly, you remember all the people who tried to steer you down a better path. It was too late for me but at least I could try to save others

Uh, Pam---I'm sure you'll love it Cough. Amazon has a great return policy....

I thought your posts in the other thread were funny, but this last one had me dying. I really wish you'd stop beating around the bush and tell us how you really feel.
