I would imagine that most people had a hard time with Cate and Lux because they generally acted like spoiled and whiny 14 year old girls. Just about every scene with them began and ended the same way, i.e., give them what they want, they'll like you for a day longer, don't, and they'll walk off in a huff as if you never did anything for them ever. The rules were typically different for them as well, i.e, their dihonesty was always more justified than anyone else's. Don't get me started on how Baise needed every single woman he met to like him. Did anyone find him that irresistable? I'm not sure what's worse: the needy Baise or the starving for affetion women that he always seemed to meet. In essence, it all got quite old, if not exasperating, fast.
As this appeared to be a show written more for 13 year old girls, it makes sense why most viewers of adult age had a hard time caring for these characters, i.e., they just didn't ring true. Younger viewers can be remarkably forgiving as they often can't tell when they're being manipulated by the writing team. Then again, what do I know? The show did last 2 seasons. That's considered a hit in this day and age.
