Unpopular Opinion: I didn’t like any of Brooke’s relationships.

None of them were particularly amazing to me. All of them were either bad or boring imo. Idk what it is, but I didn’t care for any of her pairings on the show.

Leyton and Naley were both epic romances, and I feel like they tried to do that for Brooke by bringing in Julian, but it just doesn’t hit the same for me.

-Brooke and Lucas: The actors had great chemistry in the first three seasons, but it was always obvious that Lucas was meant to be with Peyton. Him and Brooke were destined for failure from the start.

-Brooke and Felix: No explanation needed. 🤮

-Brooke and Nick: Again, not much to explain. 🤮

-Brooke and Chase: He was nice, but boring. They just didn’t have any chemistry imo. It wasn’t there.

-Brooke and Owen: There was potential, but it was so short lived and they moved on from them quickly.

-Brooke and Julian: I know a lot of people loved them together because he gave Brooke everything she ever wanted, and I love that for her, but they just didn’t have the same spark as the other main ships.

Leyton Vs Naley: Which OTH Couple Was Your OTP?

Do you prefer the stability of Nathan and Haley’s relationship where they fight through their issues and work hard to maintain their relationship because they love each other and their family, or the ups and downs of Lucas and Peyton’s relationship where two broken people struggle to find their way as people but always return to each other in the end? Which love story resonated with you the most? I’ve come to appreciate Leyton’s relationship a lot more in recent rewatches, but Naley will always be my favorite.

Besides Elena, which one of Stefan’s love interests did you like him with the most?

It’s difficult. They all have pros and cons. Stefan and Katherine had amazing chemistry, but they were extremely toxic. I also don’t think they make sense as a couple. Stefan and Caroline made sense as a couple, and in theory, it’s nice that their relationship was based on a foundation of friendship, but they just lacked chemistry as a romantic pairing.

Stefan and Rebekah had chemistry and I think they could have worked as a couple, but they were so short lived it’s hard to tell. Stefan and Valerie seemed sweet, but they didn’t have any chemistry. If I had to pick I would go with Rebekah because their dynamic was the most interesting to me without being overly toxic, like his dynamic with Katherine.

The Writers Really Failed Serena’s Character

Serena was one of my favorite characters in the first season. She was kind-hearted, compassionate, with a fun personality. She also had a lot of depth. You could tell that the mistakes of her past haunted her and she really wanted to be a better person.

Her setback at the end of the season was hard to watch because you could tell how much guilt she was carrying around over what happened with Pete.

However, somewhere along the way those qualities got lost. She became less and less sympathetic. And her lack of development became draining to watch.

I never hated Serena because I recognized that all the characters did horrible things and were pretty terrible people, however, as a character I think she could’ve been a lot better. What do you think went wrong, and what could’ve been done differently?

What Do You Like Most About Blair Waldorf?

Blair’s my favorite character in the show. I found her to be the most entertaining, and even through all the mean-spirited behavior and harsh words I felt like her character had a lot of depth. She was more than a mean girl, especially in the beginning. I thought she was hilarious, but she also had a lot of serious storylines that provided a lot of insight into the complexities of her character. What about Blair do you love the most? Which season had your favorite storylines for her? Why do you like her character?

Do you prefer Beyoncé’s signature Blonde hairstyles or do you like it better when she switches it up?

I can’t decide. Blonde hair is her signature look, but she looks amazing with darker hair too. I also love when she has curly hair. I love her Blonde hair, but I really like it when she experiments with the color and style. I do hope she has more darker hairstyles in the future because I think she looks really good with dark hair. What’s your favorite Beyoncé hairstyle?

In a universe where Mondler and Roschel never got together, which love interest would you want each friend to end up with?

I was thinking about the other partners that the friends had and which ones I thought were really good. I love Mondler and Roschel, but I thought it would be fun to imagine who they could end up with if not each other. In my scenario, neither of these couples get together, so I chose the partners I liked the best for them outside of their endgame pairing. Joey and Phoebe aren’t affected by this.

  1. Ross and Julie: If Ross and Rachel never had any romantic connection, then I think Julie would’ve been the best for him. I thought they were cute, they had chemistry, and they seemed happy together. They felt like they were really compatible, and I could see them maintaining a long term relationship.

  2. Rachel and Gavin: Rachel was tough because none of her relationships became very serious. But I thought her and Gavin had good chemistry, and a lot of potential. Without the complicated timing due to her situation with Ross, they could’ve been good.

  3. Chandler and Kathy: Chandler had the best chemistry with Kathy imo. The build up to them was incredible, and the writers really ruined it. I wanted to see them together much longer or at least not give them such a terrible ending. In this case, I would eliminate the cheating aspect, which would make their endgame more believable and sweet.

  4. Monica and Richard: Richard was the one that got away for Monica. She was really in love with him, and getting over him was really hard for her. They had chemistry, they made each other happy, and they loved each other. The only issue I had was their history, with him being a close long time friend of her parents. Without that, I think they were perfect.

  5. Phoebe and David: I love Mike, but I thought there was something really sweet and special about her and David. I love that he came back multiple times, and I thought they should have been together for a longer time. I really enjoyed watching them together.

  6. Joey and Kate: If there was anyone I would’ve liked Joey to be with, it would be Kate. Their chemistry was excellent, and I could see them lasting. The two of them living a career-focused, child-free life together would’ve been great.

Louise’s Bunny Ears

I was watching Bob’s Burgers, like always, and I got to the season 10 episode “Legends of the Mall”, and the B plot of the episode got me thinking about the movie. In the movie, Louise’s plot was about her fear of not being brave, which happens because of the monkey bars incident where there’s a whole issue about her hat falling off. In the episode I was watching, Louise has to go upside down to cut the wire of the mechanical animal Gene’s riding, and she ties her ears to her chin to keep it from falling off. It’s interesting that that wasn’t even an option for her in the movie. I understand that it could’ve fallen off anyway, but it’s weird nobody even considered it.

Which of Dawson’s relationships was the best? Which was the worst?

  1. Dawson and Jen in season 1

  2. Dawson and Joey

  3. Dawson and Gretchen

  4. Dawson and Jen in season 5

I think Dawson and Jen in season 5 were the best. They had great chemistry, and they seemed really good together. They should’ve dated longer. The worst for me was Dawson and Jen in season 1. They were so horrible together back then. Dawson was so annoying when it came to his relationship with her.

Which break up do you think hit Rory the hardest?

  1. Dean in season 1 over the I love you incident.

  2. Dean in season 3 at the dance marathon

  3. Jess in season 3 after he left town.

  4. Dean in season 5 at the male Yale party.

  5. Logan in season 6 after the dinner with Jess.

  6. Logan in season 7 after the failed proposal.

It felt like she was most upset about what happened with Logan in season 6, but mostly what he did with bridesmaids than the actual break up itself. I feel like we didn’t get enough time to see truly how the break up in season 7 affected her because it was the end of the show. When Dean broke up with her in season 3 and 5 I feel like she was more embarrassed than actually hurt about the relationship ending. Similarly, with Jess it felt like she was more upset about how he ended things than the fact that he ended things. So I think it’s between Dean in season 1 and Logan in season 6. I’d give the edge to Logan in season 6 bc it was a longer, more mature relationship at the time.

Which Bonnie ship do you think is superior? Bonnie didn’t get a lot of romantic opportunities on the show, these are her only two canon relationships. I know a lot of people would’ve liked for her and Damon to get together, but since that never happened, which of her two ships on the show is the better one? I prefer Bonnie and Enzo because they had more chemistry to me, but what do you think?
