I want to marry him.

[Adam]

His view matches mine perfectly. A former Babe tolerater who was turned off by the Babe is Love writing. If she had been written as a vizen from day one and not this poor "innocent" victim, I'd like Babe a whole lot more.

The character is unredeemable now. Kill her when Alexa bolts this summer! KILL HER!!!!

[Q Steph]

Kill her painfully.

I'm so happy that other outlets are pointing out the blatant propping of this tired character.

[Steve]

A slow, painful, agonizing death but only after everyone on the show has turned their backs on her so she's all alone and living in a dumpster. Does that make me evil?

[Q Steph]

It makes you eligible for sainthood.

[Adam]

Yes!

Babe as an outcast.... then she gets hit by a bus

[Q Steph]

A speeding mack truck.

I'm sorry, i wasn't watching around this time.

Can someone explain the rationale between Babe sleeping with Jamie because she didn't want to meet JR's parents? That makes absolutely NO sense. Whatsoever. EVER!!

[juniorz1]

Meh. Nothing new. I posted pretty much the exact same stuff when the material was airing and since then. Many of us on here have. Good read but it's been said.

[Q Steph]

When Babe first came to town, her first scenes were with Jamie at some beach party. He thought she was some random girl. She took his virginity. The next day, Jamie was all in love, but he was shocked to find out that his new love was JR's wife. JR was in love with her, but she acted like she was nervous to meet Adam for fear she's be branded a golddiger or that JR was using her to make Adam mad.

The rationale didn't make sense. Nothing Babe does makes sense, but the writers have always excused her infedility.

[Skin]

Actually it was more about her not wanting to be alone more then anything. That's what I remember her reason for sleeping with Jaime. She didn't want to be alone that night and that's why she was with Jaime that one time. Later on it was revealed it was because she felt safe with him and that she later was in love with him after JR turned on her and that she cared for him and "always did". That's what prompted Jaime versus JR during their marriages.
