    Is is just me, or is Gwen getting paired up with a ridiculous amount of boys?

    Of course, there's Gwen and Trent.

    Last season, Cody tried to hook up with her, and we all know how that turned out.

    In an old promo, it shows Gwen and Geoff getting cozy with each other. And then, there's Trial by Tri-Armed Triathelon.

    Now, there's this weird Duncan thing going on.

    For the Canadians: the incident with Gwen, Harold, and a golden shovel during The Chefshank Redemption.

    Also for the Canadians: Geoff suggested a Gwen-DJ relationship during the second Aftermath.

    It's depressing. This is six out of the eleven guys! Not to mention that I've seen her paired up with Noah in a few fanfics. Any comments?

    I think that Gwen is lucky/unlucky at the same time.

    I guess the Duncan thing is just Geoff and others blowing things out of proportion.

    Other than Trent, Cody likes Gwen, I sort of see it as her being lucky since a guy other than Trent likes her.

    I didn't know there was an old promo about Gwen and Geoff. It's the first I've heard of it. But knowing Geoff, I think he still maintains his loyality to Bridgette, depending how much further their relationship will go.

    Noah and Gwen? That sounds funny.

    Hmm, DJ... I think Geoff has lately been blowing stuff out of proportion. I'm not sure what he sees, but I can't picture Gwen and DJ together.

    Gwen must be popular in a funny way.

    I know that most of the pairings are just things that have been blown out of proportion. But I'm a little curious as to why/how it happened on the writers' side of the equation.

    And, Noah and Gwen isn't the weirdest pairing out there. There are plenty of other, unsettling, fandom relationships for Noah. Lindsay, Izzy, Eva, Katie, Cody (groan), and I think I saw a fanfic that hooked him up with Courtney.

    you're reading too much into it, if you took say Owen then Lindsey, Beth, Gwen, Justin and Izzy would all want him or Duncan he would have Heater, Eva, Courtney, Gwen, Lindsey and Leshawna

    The second episode I ever watched of TDI was Tri Armed...and I thought Gwen and Geoff were gonna hook up....*shrugs* they have the opposites attract thing going on...

    I guess...never really thought of this that much...

    What I am pointing out is that Gwen has 3 people who have directly expressed attraction towards her verbally. Trent has explained that he likes her many times. Cody has said so also. And, Harold mentioned that he was attracted to her in a confessional.

    In Camp TV (the stone-age promo) Gwen is practically snuggling with Geoff. I'd count that as an obvious expression of attraction.

    Then, there's Duncan and DJ. While there is very little evidence to say that these pairings are canon, they have been suggested verbally ON SCREEN.

    Duncan, let's say, would have a maximum of 3 pairings based on these rules, if you count the two Heather incidences as 'obvious expressions of attraction', and Owen would have 2 including Justin. Nowhere close to the 6 that Gwen has.

    The Noah shippings, as I have stated before, are strictly fandom. He would have no pairings under my set of rules, except for the slim chance of Cody. (I am disregarding this because, in my opinion, there is evidence that proves Noah's proper sexual orientation.)

    Harold never actually said he liked her, he said according to prison rules he'd either have to hit her in the head with a shovel or fall in love with her if she stayed so he voted her off, I wouldn't count him, and I wouldn't count a promo either, I mean it's just one screen and Duncan and DJ, that was mostly Goeff's doing there was no evidence of attraction, Geoff just said it for ratings and it was only in that one episode I wouldn't count those either so your left with 2 of your 6

    Harold did actually mention it, right after he got hit with the shovel.

    "Classic prison madness. And that shovel thing, heck, everyone knows, first day in prison, break something over some big dude's back. Then nobody messes with you. I'm kind of scared of Gwen now...and kind of attracted to her. Don't tell LeShawna!...or Heather!...or Gwen!"

    I'm just saying that Gwen is the only person with 6 pairings that are either suggested verbally by another contestant or proven through obvious expressions of attraction at any point in the show's history. It doesn't matter if attraction exists if the pairing has been suggested verbally on screen. I suppose you could disregard the promo, since it's pretty ancient, but that still leaves 5, and that is a step higher than any other contestant.

    So what Geoff said he was attracted to Heather one line in an entire show doesn't make a pairing, and DJ and Duncan were Goeffs doing in the episode to make Gwen look bad, your giving too much slack on too little stuff, all of them would have numbers that high if we rewatched all the episodes under those rules the only reason your saying Gwen now is because she just had the most recent stuff happen to her

    They are both good at putting ppl down, how knows insulting each other might get them off then they'd bond by insulting everyone else

    She's already done with Trent. She's shown no interest in anyone else. So there's no deciding to be done.

    It's still possible for her to take interest in someone else, with the right development to it.
