Ok, I'll admit I have a tendency to get caught up in TV romances. If the chemistry is there and the acting and writing is good, there's nothing like seeing two great characters get together. Even those dragged out on-again-off-agains can be fun to watch when done right. But let's face it; not all TV relationships are great. In fact, Katey and I came up with a handful of ones that were downright terrible.
Some relationships are doomed for failure. Take Andy and Angela in The Office. I don't think the writers ever intended for us to fall head over heels for these two. And given the way the last season ended (with Angela and Dwight getting busy in the almost-deserted office shortly after Angela accepted Andy's marriage proposal), I'm guessing that it's only a matter of time before things fall apart for Andangela (yeah, that's the best I could come up with). Anyway, looking back at some of our favorite shows, we came up with our five least favorite romances. These are the ones that weren't supposed to be humorous side-plots. The ones we thought the writers really wanted us to buy into and instead, made us cringe everytime they were on screen together. Without further introduction, here they are:
5. Nate and Lisa - Six Feet Under
Nate was always a jerk, but when he agreed to a shotgun wedding with whiny hippie Lisa, he turned into a whole new kind of asshole. That whole season seemed to be spent watching the two bicker in the apartment over the garage, while Brenda, who Nate clearly still loved, was off having her own hot subplot with Justin Theroux. What I would give to be his French horn... uh, anyway. The whole thing ended with the melodrama of Lisa's death, which added much-needed excitement to the season, but also made it feel like an overlong, moody episode of CSI.
4. Willow and Kennedy - Buffy the Vampire Slayer
I'm going to put aside the fact that I wasn't over the whole Tara thing when I got to watching season 7 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. My dislike of Kennedy had little to do with the fact that she wasn't Tara because let's face it, no one could replace Tara. Kennedy was just annoying. Not only did I not feel prepared to adjust to seeing Willow as the more timid one in the relationship but I just wasn't able to find any appreciation in Kennedy's pushy attitude and she failed to win me over in the way she pursued Willow. Disliking Kennedy as a character pretty much destroyed any chance that I might have actually bought into their budding romance.
3. Joey and Rachel - Friends
Seriously, what were they thinking there? The writers spent the duration of the Friends series dumbing Joey down to the point where the only thing the guy ever took seriously was his obsession with sandwiches and then all of a sudden we're supposed to get into the idea of him and Rachel dating? Putting aside the fact that Ross was totally Rachel's lobster and no other man would do (though I happened to like Tag), it would've taken a lot more than seeing the two cuddling while watching Cujo to win me over on this one.
2. George and Izzie - Grey's Anatomy
Gizzie. These two had zero chemistry and there was virtually no real set up for their relationship. George is unhappy in his marriage. Izzie's grieving. So rather than lean on each other in the friendship they've built over the years, they decide to get hammered and sleep together. Then they proceed to try and have an actual relationship. Granted, getting hammered and sleeping together is how things started for Meredith and Derek but in Gizzie's case, their inebriated and regretful beginning only lead to a lot of flat and awkward scenes. George and Izzie as friends: Adorable. Perfect. And occasionally it provided some much needed comic relief. George and Izzie as lovers? Blech.
1. Kate and Jack - Lost
Writers, you had your chance with Jack and Kate. They started as the alpha team of the island, leading everyone while tenatively flirting amongst themselves. We even rooted for them. But as soon as you transformed Sawyer into a decent person, and made him moon over Kate, the love triangle turned into a stupid, filthy mess. You're not fooling anyone. Everyone knows Kate and Sawyer are meant to be, and Jack should've jumped off that bridge when he had the chance. At this point you've made Kate so annoying, he should've taken her with him. Way to destroy a good thing, guys.

jack and kate, they can be patner and friends but lovers don't work at all, bring kate to sawyer on the island and lets jack and juliet tried a romance ! you stole my fav expression about jack and his bridge ^^ but i can't blame you lol
George and Izzie are the worst couple in the history of television. And while Kate and Jack have zero chemistry at the moment and their relationship feels painfully forced, they at least had some spark in the first season. George and Izzie never had any. I think those two should switch spots.
Kate and Sawyer have chemistry so hot it leaps off the screen. No show runner in his right mind would waste that in favor of the dull, almost uncomfortable vibe between Kate and Jack. Not only was that pairing force but it was a totally predictable and lackluster storyline for a show as edgy as Lost. Thank the casting gods for Evi and Josh and that memorable kiss from Season One, it launched Kate and Sawyer like a tidal wave and there is no going back.
You placed Willow and Kennedy from BUFFY on this list? Hell, I would have placed Willow and Tara . . . or Willow and Oz. I had to struggle to stay awake while watching the last two couples. There is nothing more boring than a romance between two introverts.
OMG! Now I know why I never had heard about this poll before! It's a concentratrion of anti-jaters, and they are ... do you know!
Hummmm, Jack & Kate with this so high percentage! Well, it makes me understand all that is happening here!
You can put their here like one of the couples to vote, but this resoults... I'm laughing here but is so sad that it is happening!
What's funny is seeing the few Jack and Kate fans left in the world show up and bitch about Jate hate instead of admitting that maybe there are just more people who prefer Kate and Sawyer. Even funnier is the fact that they are the most self rightous, hateful fans in the world and manage to prove that over and over with remarks like "Skate is the worst couple ever. Nasty cage sex and pity sex does not equal love. " What a classy group!
I just can´t pick which of these couples is the worst at all.
Jack and Kate are utterly boring and weird and the best thing about it was that it last just one episode and Gizzie made me quit watching GA (among other things!)
What's funny is seeing the few Jack and Kate fans left in the world show up and bitch about Jate hate instead of admitting that maybe there are just more people who prefer Kate and Sawyer. "
Have you ever checked the Jater and Skater lists on the 2 major Lost forums? If you did, you'd know who has more fans. And yeah, we're totally cracy about shipping the 2 MORE IMPORTANT characters on the show. We should ship the female lead with that other character...that one who barely has lines or screentime. Cause ZOMG!they're so hot! OTP!!! ;)
It's a well-known fact that the jaters have 5 or 6 false identities each, plus several numbers assigned to celebrities who don't know what in the world jating is.
jaters are more.that's a FACT.
it doesnt even matter which fanbase is biggger tho.
jack and kate are meant to be.your bitching about them won't change anything.
just wait..watch ..and see..
Skaters showing their stupidity again. "ZOMG AWWW THEY'RE SO HOT AND SAWYER IS SO BAD MAKES ME HORNY OH CHEMISTRY AWWW" yeah, way to go!
"and yeah, we're totally cracy about shipping the 2 MORE IMPORTANT characters on the show. We should ship the female lead with that other character...that one who barely has lines or screentime. Cause ZOMG!they're so hot! OTP!!! ;)"
I totally agree! LMFAO! Josh talked about skate closure, Evie recently laughed at Ausiello when he asked about Sawyer being Kate's choice, her comments on the hug scene, about Kate fooling the man she loves, Darlton's "Ultimate reltionship" quote, and on and on just proves what we believe. Skaters need to stay in denial and not ackowledge all this and all the sh** that happens to their lousy couple, they need to attack us all the time and worry about us all the time. What a shame, get over it, Sawyer will never have a leading role like Jack and Skate will never be the ultimate couple of the show like JATE. Oh, and just check around the biggest forums, Jaters are the biggest fandom, it's a fact.
ALSO, CHECK THIS ONE POLL AT DARKUFO, "WHICH SET OF SHIPPERS IS THE WORST?"
SKATERS, YOU WIN!
And one more: Jack and Juliet have no chemistry, no spark, and you root for them. It shows how honest and truthful you are.
Are there really people out there who want Kate and Jack to be together?
I’m not a regular audience member of LOST even though I wish I could be (I travel to much in business to be able to stick to a show. THANK GOD for the DVD’s) but every time I watch it it’s obvious Kate and Sawyer are the THE couple of Lost. At least they should be
They get these great scenes (along with that scottish guy and his girl) and they have this amazing chemistry that hits you over the head.
And... Watching last season it looks like the writers finally had the guts to end Jack and Kate. She did give up her relationship with Jack rather than give up her promise to Sawyer, right. Thank you, writers. It’s about freaking time!
Haha Looks like DarkUFO taught the silly Jaters how to cheat polls. They went from 74% to 4% overnight! Silly Jaters. No one can stand this couple except your odd little group of obsessives. You keep getting your nose rubbed in it, but it's not worth cheating an online poll over. Face it, Jate makes people GAG. Deal with it.
Too funny that Jack and Kate made this list just a few weeks after TV Guide listed them as one of the ten most annoying TV couples. The amazing thing is that the few fans of this dysfunctional, watching-paint-dry-boring pairing actually refuse to believe that it might be possible that the majority of the viewing audience (of which only a small percentage ever go online) just actually prefers the sizzling chemistry between Sawyer and Kate. I find it utterly laughable that Jack/Kate fans (online) always revert back to the fact that Jack and Kate met first and that they are the male/female leads as evidence that they will be the final couple standing. So we are supposed to believe that the writers of LOST, who have proven that they will continuously do the unexpected, will follow such a cliched and uninspired route in the romance department? C'mon. Damon is the one who wrote an article saying that he thought Harry Potter, the lead character in those books, should have died in the end. This is clearly not a man who has qualms about taking chances and killing off the main character.
Jack & Kate do suck...Jack shouldn't be with ANY woman till he gets over his daddy issues. I would also add Buffy/Angel to this list.....yyyyick...cringeworthy.
And that's exactly why I don't like the thing called "SKATE" and Sawyer. This whole "oh Skate is so hot. Kate should be with Sawyer", "oh Sawyer is better character than Jack" crap has just trivialized Kate or Sawyer characters themselves. I value Jack more because he doesn't act like a romance character. What made the characters annoying was the overplayed triangle because of ping-pong ball Kate ( just to activate Sawyer's sex life) , not Jack-Kate dynamic. What was the worst storyline in Lost??? Yeah, the Jack-Kate-Sawyer captivity arc". Sawyer, who just acts like a character transported to the Island directly from romance book is not interesting at all. I don't care how hot Kate-Sawyer look together. Lost doens't need THAT. I'm not watching Lost for them. Give me a consistent, meaningful story. Don't mess with Jack's story. Otherwise Lost means nothing.
Wining polls = OTP for the fans of the Kate and Jack pairing; many of whom admit they don't watch the show just the Jate clips out up on Youtube. They aren't Lost fans, they are Jack fans and want their hero to win.
The media and most of the fans are rooting for the sexy outlaw and the pretty fugitive and another site reinforced that today. Kate and Sawyer made SideReel's list of Top 15 TV Couples:
http://www.sidereel.com/_post/18516
In a medium as visual as television, chemistry counts. Josh and Evi have it and can put it on the screen. They make Sawyer and Kate believable. Jack and Kate make me want to yawn or cringe.
I read each commentary here and what I had seen are skaters down and down on level! They aren't shippers any more, they are blamers in first place! Their angry against who that like Jack and Kate is unbelievable and it is so sad to see! Sad that Lost and Sawyer and Kate have fans like that! I'm very shamed because I love Sawyer and Kate but I'd like to know other fans, in a other level, that respect others, that don't need scream their feelings. It isn't a ship group any more! It is a group in war with other one that ship Jack and Kate!
I'm out that! I want Sawyer and Kate and not past my time arguing with other people. TPTB will decide who is the guy that Kate will end up and I believe in Damon and Cuse more than in any one here.
It's just so fun how easy Jack and Kate fans (And Jack worshipers who get their panties twisted at every single mention of how much he really sucks) gets ballistic to those who see their beloved ship as anything more than a joke. Even the writers realise how much of a lost case it is to make them work and fuel some emotion on the general public (Not only fanatic freaks who liked their sick scenes, specially since I am sure of all those OMFGJaters on OMFGBoards who writes crappy fanfictions and make crappy videos, do several accounts... Plus some wisely jump the ship) so they make an insipid life to them, they get a 20 minute relationship, Jack almost sniffling Kate's pants to imply some sex (Because having them on a bed is a no no), an un-romantic engagement and a discussion where is clear Jack is the second choice. Plus no media mention and no promotion on their own DVD. Hee... shows how much respect they have to this relationship romantic wise (Though I am sure as the leads they do have some importance, but the Jaters can't really get that being ultimate does not equals ultimate).
Oh and Jack and Kate were at some point with 75% as the worse couple. Funny how it changed in a hour isn't it? It is so... fishy ;).
"Oh and Jack and Kate were at some point with 75% as the worse couple. Funny how it changed in a hour isn't it? It is so... fishy ;)."
What was funny is that jaters didn't knew about this blog and more funny yet is that was so clear how this resoults was manipulated in the beginning. If "jaters" are voteing now is because skaters and haters was voteing before. And more than once for sure! It is so clear, oh, and funny, of course.
It's funny too how some people has that big necessity in blame Jate and Jaters! To me, it seems like skate doesn't exist without blame Jate or without blame Jack! Yes, Sawyer loves Kate, Kate loves Sawyer, but first of all, we hate Jate - Jack and Jaters! Skate doesn't exists for itself, just if compared to Jate. And it make us, jaters, have many hilarious moments because to us, just what matter is our couple and debate our scenes and our fav characters. We don't need this kind of manipulated situation to show how powerful our ship is! Oh Lord, guive patience!
It was clear at the start whose relationship they were trying very hard (& failing) to push, but even with all that effort - Jack & Kate always lacked any real punch or spark. Mostly they come across as terribly uncomfortable together, which certainly doesn't make for enjoyable viewing...this has surely got to be the reason (apart from the fact they can't kiss worth a damn) that the writers skipped any major intimate scenes for these two, & to quote a brilliant phrase went for "Speed-Jating" in one easy bite-sized episode LOL :o). I honestly wouldn't be surprised to find out TPTB realised they had a major issue early on when Lilley & Holloway exibited a white-hot chemistry from the get-go which simply wasn't (& still isn't) present between their two leads.
IMHO the biggest thing that has to put you off Jack & Kate apart from their awkwardness & their cringeworthy kisses, is a portion of their fanbase. It was a real eye-opener for me to find places like the Fuse because I've never ever EVER encountered a group so freakishly obsessive; it absolutely beggars belief, & this helped to completely put me off this particular pairing as well as 'shipping' in general :o(.
If they do intend the show to finish with one of these being a couple, no doubt it has to be Sawyer & Kate...it's as plain as day they love each other & anything else wouldn't be believable in the slightest, not to mention I absolutely detest any storyline that sees Kate ending up with a drunkard like her Father - that's a very negative message which this show doesn't need to send.
Ultimately I just want this situation over & done with already, so if all 3 parties went their seperate ways then that'd be fine too. If there is any triangle I'm interested in then it has to be the outcome between Abbadon, Widmore & Linus ;o)

Wow, I'm surprised anyone got any sleep at all, what with being up all night moaning and bitching to people who have NO say in what happens on LOST at all! And also e-mailing all your FBL friends to "get here quickly to bitch about Jate and Jaters." Sad! If Josh only knew what his "fans" were really like, I doubt he'd be too jazzed. So, have a nice day complaining about Jaters and Jack and Kate and how amazing they are. Kate must not be missing Sawyer too much, I mean she moved on pretty nicely and agreed to marry Jack...in a heartbeat! Have fun with your oh so scientific "polls' that mean EVERYTHING to the writers, and with your proxy's and all the other ways you do these things. It doesn't matter at all. IF they give Sawyer more to do than take off his shirt next season, maybe we'll actually see this "new and improved Sawyer" we are being forced to believe actually exists. Having pity sex in a dirty filthy polar bear cage filled with crap, does not equal LOVE, hell, it barely equals "like". Kate made her choice long ago, and reiterated it when she accepted Jack's proposal in the blink of an eye. But you all keep telling yourselves we are the delusional ones! It does make this hiatus all that much more entertaining. And I can only guess what cess-pool, I mean "website" the writers of this article belong to!
LOL I guess some ppl found their proxy servers they accused another group of shippers of using a while ago (in a poll on another site unrelated to this poll).
The Jaters didn't know about this blog..makes me wonder how they found it..ah yeah that's right..someone stumbled on a SKATE board then I guess?!
Jate being powerful..ahem ok I guess I must be watching Imaginary Lost with the author of this article then...oh dear. Oh well..atleast I'm watching a show with actors who got CHEMISTRY other than the forced pretend to muster som romantic spark between two actors. Jate to me has zero spark whatsoever but I certainly believe in them as allies and buddies.
So yeah Skate doesn't exist other than mocking Jate and Jaters, hm so that means the Lost WRITERS are doing the same thing? Mocking Jate and Jaters then? Cos after all, you know, it's the writers that actually CREATED Skate! I guess they did that only to mock Jate and Jaters too? Honsetly that is a kind of logic I'll never get.
I find it absolutely hilarious that a Jater accuses Skaters of being hypocrites because they ship Jack/Juliet. What about all the Jaters then who ship Sawyer with Juliet although they have only shared about 3 scenes over the course of the entire show? 99% of Suliets are Jaters with the one occasional angry-Skater/Sawyer fan here and there. Not to mention that Jaters pair up Sawyer with every single female character on the sun. If they could they would ship him with Vincent. It's crystal clear who the hypocrites are IMO.
Anyways, I fully agree with the list. There have been several TV couples that I didn't like in my life but Jack/Kate take the cake for me. They have absolutely no chemistry. They are always awkward around each other and I can't even see a friendship between the 2 characters, let alone love and their abusive dynamic is a huge turn-off. I can't even stand them together in scenes anymore. That's how terrible they are.
Sawyer would be lucky to even up with Vincent! Jack and Kate have more going for them, and between them. than Sawyer and Kate ever had. All I've ever seen between Kate and Sawyer is alot of head-butting (literally) and eye-rolling (on Kate's part). It's funny how whenever she was with Sawyer it was always preceded by an encounter with Jack and her sad realization that they weren't together......yet, so she ran to Sawyer. (and quickly wanted to get the hell outta there before he could wake up.......and even then wanted to sleep alone when he wanted to "tag" along). Jack and Kate had more between them in their first five minutes on screen, than anything between Kate and Saywer in the last two seasons (although you can't really count last season because Sawyer had what, 3 lines the entire time). Of course, everyone knows, yet refuses to remember, the whole reason Kate even slept with Sawyer in the first place. Ummm, circumstances created precisely for the outcome that followed. But pity sex, jealousy sex, anger sex, and every other reason was shown as to why Kate ever slept with Sawyer. Everything except LOVE. I think that's a biggie too. Skaters have twisted the story to fit their agenda whenever it didn't fit, which was usually all the time. You guys are good at spin, I'll give you that. But you will never convince millions of other people who watch the actual show and know what's playing out in front of them, that Jack and Kate aren't supposed to be together. You all continue to watch Imaginary Lost, while the rest of us watch Lost and how amazing Jack and Kate are together and will be in the end. Isn't there an old saying about "protesting too much." Hmmmm???
If Jack and Kate are the focus of Lost tell me why the story doesn't tell us that. Instead of hating on Sawyer who is arguably the shows most popular character or hating fans of the other pairing tell me that. Explain why the creative producers and head writing team of the show would not bother to highlight their favorite romance in the episodes that they write or in the season finales. If they want the audience to be rooting for Jack and Kate, why do Jack and Kate not have any iconic romantic scenes in the finales, which are the most important, talked-about episodes of the season? Why do they never say anything good about Jack and Kate as a couple anymore when promoting or analyzing the show? If we're meant to be pulling for Jack, why do Sawyer's moments with Kate get all the hype and excitement from the writing team? Why is nothing about Jack and Kate ever described as "spectacular?" or TPTB’s "favorite moment of the series?"
Kate and Sawyer's first love scene came at the climax of the mini-arc, in the mini-season finale written by Damon and Carlton themselves, and given the full DVD commentary treatment. Their epic parting kiss came in yet another finale written by them, also given a commentary. Their first tragic parting came in the Season 1 finale when they both just missed each other on the beach before the raft sailed. And though it's not necessarily a romantic moment, their Season 2 finale Bonnie-and-Clyde scene is still iconic enough to be used often by the media in representing the series.
And it's not just the way Kate and Sawyer's big scenes are highlighted by their placement in each season, but even within the episodes. Kate's and Sawyer's first love making was the focus of an entire episode built around it. Jack and Kate didn’t even get a first time and their breakup was the focus of that episode. Even in episodes like The Glass Ballerina, Kate and Sawyer had several scenes (the kiss in the work yard and the flirting in the cages) that were carefully and beautifully filmed. An episode doesn’t have to focus on them and yet any piece of it they have ends up being visually stunning. I don’t think this can be dismissed as unimportant in a medium as visual as television.
If the best you can do is claim a couple is OTP because they met first or slam the fans of the other pairing, I find your arguments weak. As for Imaginary Lost, read your own post and tell me who is imagining things. Fans of Sawyer and Kate have the sense to know we are not entitled to anything, I wish I could say the same about you Jack fans who ran over here and voted like banshees to save your pairing from disgrace. Keep yelling Jate is Fate. So far that and all your nasty meltdown over I Do has gotten you nothing. I have no idea how Lost will end, but I can guarantee you they will use that white hot chemistry again and Sawyer and Kate will be making love to each other long before it does.
Jaters...seriously...get over yourselves. The author of this article has the right to express their opinion, just like we have the right to agree. You're the one who can't stand that not everyone is crying nonsense like JIF. Be quiet and enjoy that your couple had a week or so of happiness in the future and was engaged shortly. Yeah, it didn't last long, but at least you got something. As long as we don't have to actually SEE Jack/Kate love scenes, or god, please, no more shirtless Jack, I'm a satisfied and happy skater. Anyway, we all know Darlton likes the idea of the main HERO making the ultimate sacrifice at the end....so..........bye bye Jack. :)
I can't believe anyone with a brain would actually come on the internet and say, look Jaters have more members so we are the bigger fandom. Stupidity at its finest. You Jaters should call a meeting in your livejournals to see if polls really matter or not. On one hand they don't, but then when you lurk on FBL and see a poll that has the epic Jate as the worst couple, then you, youselves send out emails to vote. And if a poll on DarkUFO where the majority of posters are Jaters say Skaters are the worst, well then it must be true. And hell, if Josh said its closer, then its must be true. Because he knows everything. And if Evi says Sawyer was not her choice, then hell it must be true. Its not like she knows or maybe she's playing the chess game. Its not like the next week she said its confusing and ambiguious. Actor interviews are to be taken as gospel, except when they are positive for Skate, and while we're at it, lets ignore everything positive that Damon and Carlton say about Skate. I know its shocking Jaters, but there are people out in the world that are not Skaters that think Jate is horrid. I know its shocking, but deal.
Woot. I love bitter Jaters, as much as I love how they prove their own logic wrong. Sure polls don't matter Jaters, so why get all worked up about this.
To the writers of this article (and everyone else who's getting upset for or against):
Re: LOST---PLEASE STOP THE SHIPPING WARS!
This is only the writers of this articles' opinion. It does not reflect the majority of viewers. There are many people out there who feel differently (myself included). There are also many people out there who don't like or don't really care about shipping at all; and many shippers who may want Kate to be with one or the other, but who are nevertheless tired of the triangle (myself included). However, just because it is your opinion (writers of the article and readers), please be respectful of the other ship. I don't take much stock in articles that seem to be overly biased and/or disrespectful. Besides, LOST is not over--only halfway through--and they have not finished telling the story, so we don't know what happens or even how we will feel about it when it does!
It's pretty cool that Jate garners so much attention--both postitive and negative from fans. TPTB are going to tell their story the way they've always intended no matter what anyone says. It would be stupid if their endgame was Kate with the character who is middle-of-the-pack in screentime and very unimportant to the scheme of the show. Kate and Jack have by far the most backstory, the most chemistry, and are the poster guy and girl of Lost. It's been set up that way from the beginning. You let the producers manipulate you with a bone thrown here and there off-screen. They actually have to talk Skate up off-screen because there is basically NONE on-screen. I'd be depressed too if I were a Skater. Whine all you want Sawyer-fan girls...you should really be happy if Sawyer ends up alive let alone with someone...anyone, be it Juliet, 1/2 dead Claire, or even fully dead Ana!
In the end it would be ridiculous to spend so much of the series (3 straight seasons) focusing on Skate to then drop them more than halfway through the story to focus on Jate (who has been virtually ignored since season 1.)
In the end, fans will always proclaim their ship is "OTP". But those who aren't bias and are objective can clearly see that the couple who has had the most development is Skate. Compare the scenes they have had together to the ones Jate has had...it's pretty clear who the writers have been propelling.
Compare an episode like "I do" to the episode "SNBH". It's pretty clear.
If Jate IS the "OTP" then the writers did a terrible job of showing that across. They didn't even get together until the fourth season and that was in one rushed and forced episode which also saw their demise. This is OTP? God I hope not. And I think the writers of LOST have proven that they're better than that.
"Chemistry is relative. This is pure provoking, lyly, you're a bitch. Don't you dare deny it, because you are. And you know it."
Well isn't that just a lovely thing to say. See? They accuse skaters of being hateful but this remark says it all.
Funny agree with your number one. Worst couple ever. No chemistry, they are unbearable to watch.
If kate is to end up with anyone, best it be sawyer since their story has developed beautifully for 3 seasons, but tbh, at this point, kate would be better off on her own.
Jaters: I mean this in the nicest way possible, grow up. Get on with your own lifes and your own relationships rather than obsessing and bitching about people that disagree with you. Not everyone has to have the same preferences. So what if the article author doesn't like jate but you do?! it doesn't make them wrong! It makes them different to you. Don't be so bloody arrogent and believe that only your opinion is the right one and say others people are watching imaginary lost. get over it.

jack and kate, they can be patner and friends but lovers don't work at all, bring kate to sawyer on the island and lets jack and juliet tried a romance ! you stole my fav expression about jack and his bridge ^^ but i can't blame you lol
