Eleanor sure has come a long way since first arriving in the Good Bad Place – from being a pretty terrible human being to stepping up and becoming team leader. Through it all, she’s kept her head held high and not cared about what other people thought of her. This week, that all changed when she overheard Tahani, Jackson and Janet talking about how Eleanor wasn’t doing a good job as leader. In typical Eleanor fashion, she lashed out at them before storming out and then breaking down when Michael followed her. I really felt for Eleanor as she stressed that she was just a girl from Arizona and not cut out for saving the world. Not to mention how she put her own feelings aside so she could push Chidi and Simone together! Bell is known for playing strong female characters and she does it so well that I sometimes forget that she also nails vulnerable moments too.
