When it comes to TV love triangles, there is no such thing as “in between.” You are either Team Ben or Team Noel. Team Stefan or Team Damon. Team Brandon or Team Dylan. Period.
If you doubt it, check any TVLine comments section that veers toward a discussion of Gossip Girl‘s Chuck/Blair and Dan/Blair, and you’ll get all the proof you need. Couch potatoes are as passionate about which couple should be/stick together as Republicans and Democrats are about who should be the next president.
In honor of this phenomenon, we’ve compiled an exhaustive list of TV’s Most Divisive Love Triangles, from classic Gilmore Girls and Friends threesomes to current obsessions from The Vampire Diaries and Revenge. We won’t bother to remind you to hit the comments afterward to let us know where your allegiances lie and to chime in with any trios that we snubbed. That would be as silly as Frasier ending up with [insert the name of Diane or Lilith, whichever you didn't favor].
Fred/Wesley and Joey/Pacey hands down…Robin/Barney (I’d actually consider watching HIMYM again just to see them back together)…Dylan/Kelly.
Peyton/Lucas, although I did also like him with Brooke, and Buffy/Spike, even though I also like Buffy/Angel (and, ::gasp:: Buffy/Riley, for that matter. ) Basically, I liked Buffy with everyone except the evil Parker.
Summer/Seth/Anna? I’ve never heard of anyone rooting for Seth/Anna. I didn’t dislike them but I thought basically everyone wanted SS. They were perfect!
Also Dair is wayyy better than Chair. The battles over this triangle are the worst I’ve seen since Leyton vs Brucas, though! It’s kinda stressful lol.
I was a seth and anna fan and rooted for them till the end of oc. I always thought they should of kept anna around instead of bringing on that alex girl. But i think they missed taylor/ryan/marissa (even though marissa died off fans were still split between the two)
Kelly & Dylan!
Taylor & Ridge!
Joey & Pacey!
Ben & Felicity!! (yeah!!! I hated Noel!)
Jess & Rory!! (they were AWESOME!)
Luke & Lorelai!!! (though I used to LOVE Chris)
Will & Alicia! (<3)
Mark & Lexie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Shonda, PLEASEEEE!!)
Barney & Robin!!!!!!
Jake-Kate & Sawyer-Juliet!!!! <3 <3
Anna & Summers (XDDD. No, I'm joking, Seth & Summers = Seth & Anna… I loved them both!!)
Brooke & Lucas!!!!!! (LOVED them together… Though in season 6 I become Brucas & Leyton! )
Big & Carrie!
Daniel & Betty (come on!!! They were PERFECT together!!! Between Gio & Henry, I'd say Henry!!)
Logan & Veronica (LoVe, always… Movie, pleaseeeee!!)
Fred/Wesley. Even Illyria recognized it.
Buffy/Spike. Angel was always meant for Cordelia.
Jeff/Britta. I love Annie, but I think this week she started outgrowing him, and Jeff and Britta kind of deserve each other.
Rory/Jess (though part of me was always holding up for Marty)
Lorelei/Christopher. I could go either way with this, but by the end, Luke came with April, and April was terrible.
Alicia/Peter. Alicia’s affair with Will was, far and away, the worst thing to happen to the show.
Jack/Kate and Juliet/Sawyer obviously worked, so good for the producers wrapping it up that way.
I don’t think anyone is actually ready to “ship” Angela, whether with Dwight or Andy.
Am I the only person on the planet who love Nate and Blair? The show should have done a Serena/Nate/Blair triangle, like in the books. However, since there’s no hope for Nair, I’m all about Dan/Blair at the moment. Chuck and Blair is so unhealthy.
Starting with who i ship most,ending with who i like:
Chuck and Blair – Gossip Girl
Nate and Serena- Gossip Girl
Big and Carrie – SATC
Tyler and Caroline – TVD
Damon and Elena (thouh i’m still fighting the urge to ship him with Katherine) – TVD
Ted and Robin – HIMYM
Angel and Buffy – BTVS
Ross and Rachel – Friends
Mark and Lexie – GA
Dean and Rory – Gilmore Girls
Luke and Lorelai – Gilmore Girls
Angel: Team Wesley/Fred
BtvS: Team Spike/Buffy
Dawson’s Creek: Pacey/Joey (I just couldn’t stand Dawson as a character, anyone with Joey other than him would have made me happy LOL)
Gilmore Girls: Team Rory! LOL and Luke/Lorelai
Glee: Artie/Tina/Mike I can’t decide, love them both!
The Vampire diaries: Team Salvatore (Can’t stand Mary Sue!Elena), Tyler/Caroline (They are destroying Klaus, leave my Hybrid man alone!)
Grey’s had Alex/Izzie/Denny triangle too! and whoc can forget THE CLIFFHANGER of season 2: McDreamy/Meredith/McVet or Addison/Derek/Meredith for instance!
So does Secret Circle (Adam/Cassie/Diana) and Ringer (Bridget/Andrew/Siobhan)
Buffy Angel
Wesley and Fred
Loreai and Luke
Rory and Jessie
Damon and Elena
Lucas and Payton
Cassie and Cappie
Chuck and Blair
Barney Robin
Mike Tina
Ross Rachel
Pacey Joey
Summer Seth
Gio Betty
Adding Finn Puck/Jessie Rachel and going for Finn and Rachel
Finn/Shelby Quinn Puck and choose Puck and Quinn.
Also adding Brennan(bones) Booth and Hannah
Of course choose BNB
I just want to say that Sonny/Brenda/Jax was the best triangle ever written. I am hardcore S&B, but man.. good times it was. I miss those days. Triangles these days are so lame.
But in any case.. Damon and Elena, Chuck and Blair. That’s who I currently ship.
hahaha love how the article mentions the wars on the comment sections of TVline gossip girl articles. so true lol…but yeah, i’m gonna say Dan/Blair for that one.
Chuck and Blair
Jess and Rory (pref. LOGAN & Rory, but didn’t have the option!)
Veronica and Logan
Spike and Buffy (don’t hate)
Seth and Summer (and all 3 as FRIENDS)

Yes although I would always choose Jess over Dean, Logan/Rory ended up being my favourite pairing.
Ross and Rachel
Dylan and Brenda
Pacey and Joey
Sonny and Brenda
Chuck and Blair
Serena and Nate
Brandon and Kelly
Damon and Elena
Carrie and Big
Buffy and Angel
CHUCK AND BLAIR ♥
At this point, Serena and Nate
Damon and Elena
Wade and Zoe
Luke and Lorelai
Eric and Sookie
Ross and Rachel
Klaus and Caroline, but I also like Tyler and Caroline so even though I prefer Klaroline I’ll still be happy to see Tyler and Caroline.
I was Jack and Emily because I never really felt anything with her and Daniel but now I’m neither here nor there with either ship so Nolan and Emily. They are the relationship/sibling/friendship that I love the most about the show.

“I’m getting the brush off for Captain Peroxide!” Angel came back and caused issues between Buffy and Spike at the very end. There was a lovely scene where Spike pasted a picture of “Tall, dark, and forehead” on a punching bag and went at it. Buffy commented that one day she was going to put the two of them together and let them wrastle it out. Possibly with oil of some kind. So it was a brief triangle.
I just don’t think that one scence makes love triangle. In that case Riley, Parker, Robin Wood, Drusilla or Harmony would be more suitable.
I do understand why they included Buffy/Angle/Spike in this, I just wouldn’t label it as a love triangle.
All super passionate sexy big epic true love couples
I preferred Spike/Buffy, Damon/Elena, Klaus/Caroline and Kate/Sawyer too (also super sexy and passionate) but Spuffy and Kate/Sawyer weren’t endgame and I question if Damon/Elena and Klaus/Caroline will get real shots sadly.
Never really cared about Dawson/Joey/Pacey, since Joey was so annoying I didn’t see the point in fighting over here. I’m rapidly getting to that point with Blair on GG too.
This is too funny about Joey and Blair. Blair, this season especially, I don’t even recognize her from the bad-ass she was in the first few seasons. They’ve really done a number on her. I choose Chuck and Blair because I want him to be happy. Same thing for Pacey and Joey. Joey annoyed the hell out of me, but Pacey wanted her so… haha.

Season finale: Just as Nick and Juliette get back into their groove, he and Hank are called to investigate a wave of rage-fueled assaults by zombie-like creatures.
