Let’s face it: we all love the iconic television and movie couples such as Buffy and Angel and Rachel and Ross, but who are the worst couples to grace our screens? Here are five couples that just didn’t do anything for me!
#5: Rachel and Joey – Friends
Reasons why it’s wrong:
- Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) was once with Joey’s (Matt LeBlanc) best friend, Ross.
- Dating Joey is like dating a brick (seriously, we’re told he’s got a brain but we’re not so sure).
- Joey has a “thing” for Rachel for ages… it seems as though it’s only because she runs out of other guys to pursue that she looks Joey’s way.
#4: Buffy and Spike – Buffy: The Vampire Slayer
Reasons why it’s wrong:
- Spike (James Marsters) is a vampire, an evil vampire (okay, sometimes he has a chip and a soul but still…) and Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is the Slayer.
- Spike’s hair is blonder than Buffy’s – any guy that uses hair dye in a more extreme way than his partner is a little wrong if you ask me (sexist, but true).
- At one point, Spike has a chip (an implant that prevents him from biting people) and a soul – talk about baggage!
- Loyal viewers (yes, people like me) have seen Spike’s past – he was quite the mama’s boy (and he wrote poetry… he even used the word “effulgent” which was one of the reasons he was eventually transformed into a vampire).
#3: Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) and Link Larkin (Zac Efron) – Hairspray
Reasons why it’s wrong:
- Umm… I fear that anything that I write here is going to be taken the wrong way so maybe I can get away with just asking: “isn’t it obvious?”
#2: Woody Allen and anyone
Reasons why it’s wrong:
- He’s creepy.
- Again, he’s creepy.
- I’d be willing to bet my life on the fact that Charlize Theron would NEVER find this man appealing. Not even in an alternate Buffy dimension!
#1: Izzie and Denny’s ghost – Grey’s Anatomy
Reasons why it’s wrong:
- Keep in mind, Grey’s Anatomy is not a fantasy-based show… these writers actually want us to believe that Izzy (Katherine Heigl) is having an affair with her dead lover Denny (Dean Morgan).
- Although I’m assuming it’s supposed to be romantic, it’s not: it’s freaky!
- It seems like a last ditch effort to revitalise a show whose best days are clearly behind it.
- This is a personal thing but I just can’t stand little Miss Heigl!
