It's funny how JJ and Kiara were never meant to be a couple, but the fans became so loud and obnoxious about them on social media that the showrunners made them happen, only to prove that they have absolutely no chemistry lmao

Another funny thing is that Cleo was originally going to be JJ's girlfriend and there was a chemistry read between the actors, but the showrunners changed their plans because of the Jiara shippers. idk man, sometimes fanservice isn't the answer to everything. But they clearly haven't learnt a thing, since they're already discussing a potential relationship between Kiara and Rafe, which is Kiara's second most popular heterosexual ship lol Anything to avoid making her queer, I guess.

I feel bad for Madison Bailey because I can't imagine how annoying it'd be as a queer woman have your entire fanbase try to harass you into breaking up with your girlfriend to date your male co-star.

I saw those rumors about Kiara and Rafe but people actually ship them? Jesus

[barbychanftw]

Oh, yeah, people LOVE them. Rafe is a very popular character.

Oh Drew is great as Rafe so I appreciate that, just not like that lol

[barbychanftw]

I like Drew and I think he's a great actor, but I can't stand Rafe lol I think he's very annoying.

I wasn't a hardcore shipper but it's weird because I felt like their first kiss was sweet and had chemistry and then...nothing after that lol. Idk how they fumbled so hard.

I hope they don't do Kiara and Rafe though.

they should learn that fan service isn't the way. look at the gossip girl writers who listened to crazy ass chair shippers when they did such a legitimately good job building up Dair over multiple seasons :(

I haven’t watched this season yet so I’m going off the past.

Cleo & Pope have good chemistry so I think that was probably a better choice in that regard. I’ve been so annoyed that they had Kiara kiss/hook up with all of the guys in the friend group. Give her a gf dammit!

The writers will pair up Kiara with any man that breaths near her before letting her be with a girl.
