^ Yes! When Stuart or Farkle got competitive with the other characters, they usually came out on top. I can only imagine that they would get crazy-competitive if/when they went head-to-head with each other. It will be a competition that will never end, because neither one of them will want to give up or give in and admit defeat.

Yeah, there might be a truce every now & then, but never a surrender

rocky845

^ Exactly. How old do you think Farkle was the first time he beat Stuart at a game, and Stuart made sure he knew that he wasn't happy about his defeat, and that he demanded a rematch?

starryeyesxx

Idk, probably not too young, but still way sooner than Stuart would have liked

rocky845

^ That sounds right. I bet Stuart hoped that Farkle wouldn't beat him in a game or a challenge until he was much, much older...but it probably happened when Farkle wasn't even 10-years-old yet.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, maybe Stuart had started out going easy on him in a game they were playing, but then Farkle beat him & Stuart never went easy on him again after that!

rocky845

^ I am sure that happened. I bet Farkle picked up on the fact that Stuart went easy on him, so he probably told him to treat him like an equal and to play the game the way it's meant to be played.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, it would drive Farkle insane if Stuart tried to act like he'd let Farkle win

rocky845

^ Yes, it would. I imagine the first time Stuart realized how much of a match Farkle was to him did not go so well, especially after Farkle realized that Stuart might have let him win.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, their competitiveness will drive both of them pretty insane most of the time!

rocky845

^ That's how I imagine it. I'm sure their friends and family try really hard not to let them get caught in a competitive match or game so that they all stay calm, cool and collected (i.e. sane). =p

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I bet they all try really hard to not let these two get involved in any kind of game or competition with each other anymore

rocky845

^ Exactly. I'm sure Stuart and Farkle's friends and family are always on the lookout for signs that the guys are headed toward potential competition, and they try really hard to shift their focus to something else.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, I'm sure they had a plan in place when it seemed like Stuart & Farkle were going down that road again

rocky845

^ I'm sure they did. It would have been such a fun episode if TPTB had done that storyline with the Minkus men. I would have enjoyed watching their friends and family work really hard to discourage the guys from getting into a competition.
