Fan-Preferred Couple/Playing With: Difference between revisions

* '''Exaggerated''': Fans think that the pairing that is Ted X Alice is perfect in every way, and that Bob X Alice has no merit whatsoever. But the storyline insists that Bob X Alice is meant to be.

* '''Justified''':

** Ted has a very well developed history with Alice more than she ever did with Bob.

** Ted is a [[Romantic False Lead]] in which the story tried to make him look like a good alternative to the [[Official Couple]] and it worked [[Gone Horribly Right|perhaps a little too well.]]

* '''Subverted''':

** Ted X Alice originally were suppose to be the [[Official Couple]] of the series but due to Creative Control issues that [[Ship Sinking|pairing was stopped]].

** Ted X Alice was originally a popular fanon pairing but then it got a [[Relationship Upgrade]] and becomes an [[Official Couple]] (though it works for the best if Bob was never in the picture to begin with).

** Ted and/or Alice become [[The Scrappy]] later on in the story and therefore the pairing loses its popularity.

* '''Conversed''': "You know, Alice, a lot of people feel that Ted is a better match for you than Bob."
