YW. I like that they made the list. I just can't deal anymore with media having to point out that Brenda was annoying. For a lot of viewers, Brandon was more annoying twin. Just go through the forums. Anyway, I really enjoyed their S1 sibling relationship.

she was annoying to me, but in a lovable way!

I found them both annoying at times but at the same time I love them both. Brandon is my fav male and Brenda is my fav female. I have seen on a few polls in which twin they do prefer and Brandon wins every time - this is true

I would like to get links for those polls, because I haven't seen a poll putting Brandon against Brenda in my life. In the forums I know, Brandon seems to be the most hated character in the history of TV.

Anyway...

Really? Brandon most hated character in history on any TV shows? Now I find that hard to believe. Sure some ppl don't like him but rest assured he isn't that well hated. I do say that Dylan is more popular with the ladies than Brandon but even B has his fair share of female fans too.
When I get the chance, I'll send you the links via PM

I didn't hate him except that episode he was a conservative student from the military.

They both annoyed me at times, but I never hated either one of them.

What it's interesting to me is that in the beginning they were portrayed pretty much as male and female versions of each other. Sure, they had their differences with Brenda being more rebellious, irrational, interested in fitting in, but I think the emphasis was that they both had good upbringing, good hearts and heads on their shoulders, morals, directness, honesty and will to help the others. Then as show progressed and problems with Shannen multiplied, writers played on their differences.

Brenda is actually more like Jim and Brandon is more like Cindy - that is the way I see it. Brenda always take chances where Brandon is risk-free and cautious

msstock87

I can actually see that a little bit.

That is a very interesting thought. I did not Jim as a risk-taker though. The only risky thing he did was moving to 90210 - if that could be considered risky, and controlling his daughter's love life by persuading her ex to convince her to be in love with her to stop her from marrying the other man. I'd say that both Jim and Cindy liked to play it safe like Brandon. Maybe they did not in their young age though...

But Brenda was similar to Jim in that that they were both stubborn.

GardenSirens

she is more like Jim!

msstock87

Brenda and Jim are for sure more stubborn!

yulan

They are. But I'd say in general Brandon is more alike to both Jim and Cindy than Brenda is. Didn't they say so themselves, that they cannot believe she was their daughter?

GardenSirens

very true.
