Gwen you Carrey on posting

I think we all have difference of opinions regarding when BK should get together but one thing remains the same: our immense love and support for this couple.

Sorry I've not been too much on the board as I've been too busy watching the knockout stages of Fifa World Cup and probably be invisible on Tuesday evening as England are playing and I'm inviting some friends over to my house

No worries. You’ve still posting more than I am.

I’m not into the World Cup but I hope you’re having fun watching it.

I agree. But I think that Darren Star would’ve also promoted BK in a sense that they needed another power couple to boost ratings (even if Kelly hadn’t matured). But they may have just got Kelly all matured up by S4 so that when they need to use BK, she’ll be ready – whether it was in S4, S5, or S6.

I really wanted Melissa to stay longer. She was nice and I think that Brandon could’ve learned how to be a good father just by being around her.

I just couldn’t stand Brooke. She was really getting on my nerves with her personality and her haircut.

I find the whole situation weird. Brandon's a great guy, but he had horrible taste in women.

He sure had hooked up his share of girls that I didn’t like. But I don’t think he had bad taste in women. I think he wanted to give all his girlfriends a fair chance and the benefit of the doubt to make him happy and for him to make them happy.

Him and Nikki were good. But I agree that the writers had different plans for them. But I would’ve thought they would’ve dated till after they graduated in S3 and then break up.

I agree. I also think that just like B/D, people would think that B/K would’ve gotten back together at some point as long as Jason and Jennie were still on the show. Even Brandon and Kelly themselves thought that. I was actually kind of surprise that not everyone seemed bummed about Brandon leaving. I thought for sure everyone would be crowding around watching Brandon drive off, like they did with Andrea. I was really disappointed that Kelly wasn’t there to say goodbye to Brandon when he drove off. I like that David gave him a special shoutout on his radio show but it’s not the same.

Good point. I think that some fans may have been happy to see Shannen leave the show. And given that Jason was the last Walsh character to leave, fans may have felt that he was leaving the show to rott.

The buildup was all worth it.

I suppose that Brooke's haircut wasn't that great. But Kelly's super-short hair later on, which they tried to convince us that Brandon liked, was the worst in the history of this show. I'll add that to the long list of things the producers never should've gone along with. Glad it didn't last long.

Brandon did deserve a better send-off. It wasn't terrible, but I agree that it should've been akin to Andrea's.

Really? They would have me believe that everyone will make a huge deal about the Walsh family leaving at the end of S1, but it's just another day when Brandon leaves years later? No.

And I'll never believe the "no regrets" nonsense. Jason was leaving, so the writers tried their best to make the B/K break-up realistic. But it simply could not be done at that stage of their relationship.

HipHopKingMike · 07-02-2018, 07:21 AM

Lord have mercy about Brooke - she was his worst GF along his affair with Emma. He did have some bad GFs in his one episode flavas. Lucinda toyed him and Tracy was clingy.
I guess Emily was crazy and obsessive for him in the long term although I would like it to be. Susan would have been good for long term but she was bossy. So in the end Kelly just seemed to fit better with Brandon than anyone else even though I can't stand her

James26 · 07-02-2018, 10:04 AM

While I can't agree that Brooke was his worst girlfriend, I definitely agree that his best relationship was with Kelly.

heyitsrachel · 07-02-2018, 01:56 PM

Agreed. I also didn't like him and that Keeping it together chick.

HipHopKingMike · 07-02-2018, 02:07 PM

You mean Lydia Leeds? I thought she was hot but personality wise she was quite wretched

heyitsrachel · 07-02-2018, 05:34 PM

Yes. She was super spoiled.

**Crystal Clear** · 07-03-2018, 01:43 AM

Nothing is worse than Brandon/Emma.

I'd like to believe that even anti- BKers agree with that.

heyitsrachel · 07-03-2018, 06:11 AM

**Crystal Clear** · 07-03-2018, 06:13 AM

It was a cheap fling with a nasty, selfish + vain woman that made Brandon look gross. Unforgivable move from the writers

heyitsrachel · 07-03-2018, 01:30 PM

Filthy: just plain filthy. I wonder if they even took the time to review the safe sex practices manual and discuss the positions they'll be using on each other.

HipHopKingMike · 07-04-2018, 02:32 AM

It was nasty and they did the nasty

heyitsrachel · 07-04-2018, 11:07 AM

I'm surprised Emma didn't make a sex tape just to make things worse. But I think at that point, she may have thought she had a chance to get Brandon to leave Kelly and be with her.

The clever so-and-so made sure to get something just as bad as a sex tape - Brandon on tape, admitting "it was good."

I really hated how naive the writers made him look at that point.
