As for the plot, more often than not one Barbie has cheated on the other, there’s a custody battle over their kids, criminal behavior, and questionable mental health professionals.

The creator recently had to begin censoring profanity in his episodes because the passionate arguments between the Barbies kept getting taken down. Although, this really only adds even more of a reality TV feel.

The show wasn’t always about an overarching storyline, though there were always recurring characters and themes. More often than not the story bounces between two plots: Ariel’s questionable dating endeavors, and Gary being cheated on by his wife.

The two seemingly unrelated plots recently came together as Gary embarked on a journey to reunite with his lost love Kendra whose ex cheated on her with Ariel.

Followers are loving Gary’s storyline, saying “The plot lines are finally coming together” and “I’m cautiously optimistic for Kendra and Gary.”

Their dating plans took a turn when Kendra kills Woody. All the while, Gary’s ex-wife Sarah is facing prison charges.

Belatown posted a teaser for upcoming episodes that shows Kendra and Sarah sharing a prison cell leaving fans anxiously awaiting the drama that will come next. Commenters shared, “Belatown > whatever soap opera is popular rn” and “With the writers and actors strike you’re our only hope and source of true entertainment.”

Belatown has amassed over 600 thousand followers and 6.7 million likes. Fans can follow along with all of the drama via TikTok to see what happens next with Kendra, Sarah, and Gary.
