The thing i absolutely LOATHE about this show:


*Spoiler Alert*

it's so INCESTUOUS!! seriously. Aiden hooks up with like EVERYONE. He says he loves ashley.. then he breaks up with her and moves on. and in season 3 he starts to get back into Kayla. I hated the Glen/Aiden/Madison triangle and the Glen/Chelsey/Clay triangle and the Aiden/Ashley/Kayla one too. It's disgusting. comon now, I would never date and have sex with a guy that my sister has been with.

Does anyone agree with me?!

One final note, it does accurately portray confused and horny teenagers that want to do everything that moves.

Well, Clay had been dead a while before Glen and Chelsea got together. Even then, it was something that just happened and they were not looking for it. You cant help who you love..

but, the glen/aiden/madison thing was so crazy. I hated it. They were like, both banging her at the same time pretty much.

Aiden was a little bit whorish. lol, I do feel bad for the guy. Two girls ditch him to date each other. I do think Aiden loved Ashley. She was just always jerking him around. I would probably date someone my sibling has been with.. if I really liked them. Does that make me sound nasty? I wouldn't hold back if I wanted to be with them. Plus, Kyla just kinda showed up out of nowhere. It took them a while to build up that sister connection. Aiden had his eyes on her before that lol

but you're right. They pretty much all dated each other, which is really odd. If i was in that close of a circle of friends..and I knew what all happened between each hookup. I'd be hesitant to pursue anyone lol

You know, this is so true! Spencer is like the only one who wasn't messing with everyone (well Clay too). I don't think her tiny fling with Aiden can really be counted as much either because she was just trying to like him instead of Ashley. I just watched the first season again, and I agree that the whole Glen/Madison/Aiden triangle is pretty nasty. Like the guys even talked about her! And when Aiden commented about her hotness and Glen was like hey that's my girl, um, she was Aiden's first and he's seen just as much of her so you shouldn't be offended. All 3 of those characters were little horndogs though haha. I'll have to come back when I rewatch the bits with Ashley/Aiden/Kyla. Also, it's funny how Aiden has been with most of the girls on this show, aside from Chelsea. Even when Spencer was considering him Ashley was all go for it (except for that weird episode when they both were trying to make the other jealous so they kept making out with Aiden, only to then say they were thinking of each other, then freaking Aiden interrupted their almost kiss!). However, I'm not that surprised by all the hookups. The only one that seemed really strange to me was Glen/Chelsea. Even though I liked them together it was like WTF?!?! Glen: so I'm gonna date my dead brothers gf now, yay! Chelsea: hmm well Clay's dead now, Glen's kinda hot, what the heck. Haha imagine IRL what you'd be thinking in that situation, if you were their family. I guess since they liked Chelsea it was all fine and dandy. Also, the Kyla/Aiden thing I don't think bothered me as much because at points didn't Ashley tell her it was okay, plus Ashley was supposed to be completely a lesbian, so I wouldn't feel as weird about it.

edit: Okay, well actually the Kyla/Aiden/Ashley thing is really weird. Like just the way Kyla and Aiden get back together. I mean, I don't mind this triangle (well I really hated when Ashley was with Aiden by like default since Spencer dumped her and they continued to talk daily; I mean I liked Spashley's phone calls just not the fact that Ashley was going to sleep in Aiden's bed and with him). But anyway main point, there are a lot of triangles on this show ha. Legit every main character just about was in one (other than Clay).

edit: Okay, so rewatching I actually really liked Glen and Chelsea together, I think more than I liked Chelsea with Clay. Chelsea made Glen bearable and actually likable to me (I legit can't stand him the first 2 seasons). Plus, they do deal with the repercussions and weirdness of the situation, and stuff like this really does happen sometimes (my aunt's first husband died, she grew close to his brother and then they married).

what i relly hate is thatif Ashley loves aiden so much, she's not gay she's Bi. But if she's bi she' not a complete lesbian. And if she's not a complete lesbian why does she sit back and let madison just say anything to her. Being bi gives her an alibi. and BTW the only triangle i like is the spencer/ashley/aiden triangle just becuz it was entertaining. and there was no glen/chelsey/clay traingle. there was however a glen/chelsey/sean triangle in S3.

reply

Actually I do believe Ashley loved Aiden so I guess she is bi. Did she ever say she was a lesbian? Or was Aiden like the one guy she was interested in, whereas otherwise she was only/mainly interested in girls?

I forgot about the Glen/Chelsea/Sean triangle. That was kind of sad since Sean had always liked her, but I don't think they were right together.

Incest is having a sexual relationship with your close relative, not dating someone your relative has dated.

I agree with your point, I just thought I'd let you know you used the wrong word. I'm not being mean, I'm a dork and I read the dictionary too much.

reply

Incestuous is also used as a way to describe keeping things within a close group. In this case, incestuous is the correct word to describe the relationships on SoN.

Before you try to school someone on grammar, you might want to make sure you are correct in your lecturing. Guess you skipped that part in the dictionary.
