I know, it’s been 2 weeks since the big -A reveal on PLL but I have to agree with the majority of the fans, the -A reveal wasn’t exactly the most exciting. I mean, I don’t hate it, but I wasn’t surprised or terribly excited when the black hood unveiled itself. Here are some reasons why….
1. She wasn’t on the show from the start. We always suspected that -A was someone who was on the show from the very start. Someone like Melissa, Lucas, Wren, Jason, Ezra, Jenna, Ian, or Maya (they can come back from the dead right?). So the fact that Cece, who came on the show at the beginning of Season 3 makes all the characters I’ve listed above seem…unimportant. Which is sad, since those characters would’ve been very interesting. 
2. There isn’t an -A team. Remember all the times that -A bought black gloves for many people, well who are they? They either haven’t been revealed, or that most likely there isn’t any at all, and this is all just Cece’s own doing. We were kind of hoping there was a group of people hating on Alison and the girls … preferably the NAT Club. 
3. Cece is tortured the girls because she was addictive to playing the game. We’ve always known that -A was a bit mentally unstable, but the fact that she tortured the girls just because she wanted to play a game? Well you could always pick a different set of dolls to play with Cece. We were kind of hoping that -A had a real good reason to hating the girls, but nope! Just a psycho here. The girls were unlucky.
4. She got her money from being a reaaallly good investor. Yes, -A is really smart but come on! PLL writers can’t think of anything better than that? Like she could’ve been secretly married to a rich man or blackmailed the mayor at least!
5. Cece has no real connections with any of the other PLL characters. Cece kind of just came out of nowhere. She has no connections with anyone else besides the DiLaurentis family. I mean, the writers could’ve just gotten any blonde character and say they were part of the DiLaurentis family right?
