That’s very true. Brucas 2.0 was a joke and hurt every character involved directly and indirectly. TPTB wanted to take advantage of a real life marriage that lasted two seconds even if the on-screen story didn’t justify it. Think about how stupid that is, lol.

Very stupid, but I do find it funny that the ratings dropped in the second half of the season when they thought the opposite would happen.

jediwands

I wonder if TPTB ever commented on that. I am sure they were aware, obviously. I wonder if Brucas fans realize what a flop ratings-wise (and storyline-wise lol) the pairing was. Did the ratings recover season 4 and on or was it too late?

stlavin95

I think most Brucas fan ignore the ratings wise lol. Season 4 was just too late really

jediwands

I think so too, lol. They also blame Sophia for Brucas being over too. Well, they blame Chad for cheating, and they blame Sophia for refusing to work with him. They truly believe had they not divorced, Brucas would have been endgame.

stlavin95

They really do lol and they still use that argument despite what's come out about Mark.

jediwands

I don’t get it, lol.

The writing should have clued them in all on its own but when the showrunner/creator spells it out... I mean, how can they still blame the divorce? Lol

stlavin95

Because they pick and choose what they want to see.

jediwands

Pretty much, lol.

I mean, all shipper fanbases do but some are worse than others, lol.

I typically don’t have a problem with it unless the fanbase gets rude, nasty, or refuses to see 100% facts in front of them.

stlavin95

The ones who can't deny facts annoy me the most lol

jediwands

Me too. LOL. They try to make it a debate and there’s no debating facts. I totally accept when they will say I wish this would’ve happened or that would’ve happened or this would have been better for the storyline. But to deny and ignore facts, trying to act like they don’t exist is beyond ridiculous and annoying. You just can’t reason with them when they go there.

stlavin95

No you can't lol

stlavin95

Is there any friendships that you could had potential to be great but the writers never used it?

I loved peyton and haley.

jediwands

I'm with Rachel... Peyton and Haley. They had so much potential but were underused.
