The team behindStarstruckhas a preternatural understanding of rom-coms.
Im rooting for Ian.
outing, youve come to the right place.
Lets track all those changes of heart episode by episode to figure out who ours really belongs to.
Who Im rooting for in Episode One …
At the start:ObviouslyJessie and Tom.
Im single, but Im pretty sure thats love right there.
Oh wait, whats this?
By the end, Jessie moves out, and I am sad.
The mascara is ancient history.
How can we root for people who make each other so sad?
It feels wildly fast, but Im rooting forJessie and Liamnow.
Did I love watching every second of that?
I am a human being!
Mostly, however, Im torn between the two points in Jessies love triangle.
What does it the most?
Is it his absolute shit bowling skills?
The way Tom Kapoor sounds in his Scottish accent?
Those are some high marks for our electrician.
I am very sorry to that man (Tom), but Im still riding thatJessie and Liamhigh.
But its not long before Im sucked back intoJessie and Tom.
They both clearly have some unresolved feelings for each other.
They are both back in this!
Is this villain behavior?
Dont answer that because I dont care!
And yet, all my energy winds up focused on Toms sweet fianceeClem.
Not even Clem and Tom, just Clem.
She deserves everything she wants.
How wise ofStarstruckto make Toms new love interest wonderful instead of a monster.
Dont hurt Clem!!
Im back toJessie and Liam.
Yes, mostly for the twin bed thing!
By the end:Once Ian spills the beans about what Tom said, all hell breaks loose.
Its a shame for several reasons.
Second, once Liam sees how messy things remain between Jessie and Tom, he decides to bow out.
I think … he might be the best man on the planet?
I will always root for the Get A Grip friend.
By the end:What a reversal!
Its not by accident that this rom-coms big run-to-your-soulmate grand gesture is Jessie rushing to be with Kate.
Now this man is at the hospital!
He had to give Ian a ride, but still!
I love you, Tom Kapoor, but just leave!!
I will never stop rooting for that weirdo.
and it is gorgeous and heartbreaking and cathartic and so wonderfully bittersweet.
And although Tom points out that those are pretty shit vows, they are the truth.
So, yeah, Im rooting for them.
But HOLY HELL, I am alsovery muchrooting forJessie and Liam.
Hours and hours of just making sure he was there if Jessie ended up needing him.
I think this is what they invented fainting couches for.
Now that right there is an ending worth rooting for.
