So, did you all watch Olivia Holt’s Girl Vs. Monster
The premiere only got a 4.9 in the ratings, so I don’t think you all did.
I know I was watching, and I thought it was one of the best DCOMs they have done to date.
The girl can act, and she’s got a pretty good voice too.
Still… I can’t help but wonder why more people didn’t tune in.
I mean, do people not like pretty blondes anymore?

Olivia Holt is the hottest girl in all of DC & XD combined…yeah I said it, hotter than Debbie Ryan.
@Greg: 4.9 peaking at 5.6 rating for GvM is pretty impressive.
I work Friday nights. But on a rerun, I watched it. I was quite impressed with Olivia in the movie more than on Kickin’ It. On the other extreme, Katherine McNamara didn’t impress me at all.
she reminds me of a cuter, more talented version of Hilary Duff – I like girls who aren’t afraid to be seen in a bikini. she just keeps getting hotter! =D as was mentioned on her IMDb, she does remind me of a real-life version of Kim Possible
She’s definitely cute, but the movie was more than a little formulaic, and in terms of her voice, in the early scene she sounded good, but when she sung at the end of the movie, it was so autotuned it pretty much could have been anyone singing.
Wow
I haven’t seen the movie yet and I hope to see it soon.
She has pretty eyes.
We talk about “it” all the time, and this girl has “it” in spades. She’s the next big thing.
Ok, I try and not talk about the younger girls here on this site, but I have to agree 110% with pwfan on this one. Olivia has what it takes to be the next Disney superstar girl. And looking at these photos, at only 15 ( Holy Cr@p !! ) She has to be classified as scary, dangerous hot. If Disney is smart, we will be seeing a ton more out of Olivia in the future.
I almost forgot she’s only 15 for a second.
Olivia was definitely fantastic in that movie. The movie, in general was fantastic. I really enjoyed. I’ve loved Olivia since the day I saw the Kickin’ It COMMERCIALS. The only reason I liked her so much before seeing her in action was because she was so damn attractive which completely threw me off after I found out how young she was, though, at this point, I’ve learned to live with the youth of my favorite Disney girls. These girls are insanely gorgeous at young ages, and it kills me sometimes, but I just have to deal.
I have to agree with some of you who commented above me. Olivia definitely has that star quality about her. I’ve really enjoyed the roles she’s taken thus far. I love a tough girl much more than a girly girl, and she’s played two tough girls so far. I’m definitely excited to see her in more stuff, and Disney, as someone else has already said, would be stupid to not keep her around for more projects. Girls are gonna love her toughness, and guys are gonna love her beauty, plus, she’s got the vocals to make her a killer star on the channel.
She’s Disney x-ds breakout star.
Like Bella is for dc.
She’s more popular than the rest of of x-ds girl stars.
Many of the regular visitors to this site know that Debby Ryan is my girl but what you may not know is that Olivia Holt is my “jailbait” girl. This was a fun thing we started on the Debby forum where each of the members was asked to picked a “legal” girl (over 18) and a “jailbait” girl (under 18) as their favorites. The reason I picked Olivia is because of her stunning good looks and also because she’s so relatable on screen. I had no idea she could sing as well as she could when I first picked her. There is a lot of irony for me in picking Olivia because her career is now on the fast track and I have no doubt she’ll be making the switch at some point to the main channel and getting her own show. The irony part comes from me picking Debby because when I did that several years ago not many people saw the potential in her but I did from the moment I first saw her. Well look at where Debby is now! I feel this way with Olivia as well. She has almost unlimited potential. There will be very BIG things ahead for this little girl and you can mark my words on that! 😀
