(The ones I’m adding are exclusively fanon btw. So, ones like Westmily and Rishad, who were hinted at but never got together, won’t be here.)

Season 1:

Remove: Micheldon

I took so long to watch season 1 again just because of these two. Their relationship was so back and forth, and almost all their conversations were variations of the same thing. Doesn’t help they broke-up in the end in less than half a season. (Ignoring the poor choice to bring them back in season 10.)

Add: Westaniel

Idk how the writers/directors expected anyone to watch their scenes in 1x06 and think they’re just platonic.  The way they talked and their body language was so flirty and they could’ve easily done a relationship plot after that episode.

Season 2:

Remove: Jiley

Who’s bright idea was it make their first conflict as a couple a cheating plot, and also have scenes before that of them not really understanding each-other, just for them to get back together in the end? This plot went on almost the entire season and ruined both of their characters. (Which I especially hated for Riley since she was one of my favs in season 1.) They should’ve just had them realise they were better when they were just friends and have Jiley end there.

Add: Gisanda

Despite us having the Amanda, Heath and Ariana traitor plots, none of the characters were ever dating someone when they did it. And the angst of Giselle finding out her girlfriend was a spy the whole time could’ve been such a good plot. They could’ve had the viewers wondering if they’d ever get back together, and Giselle thinking the whole relationship was a lie!

Season 3:

Remove: Noabi

Was sweet enough for a “first crush” situation, but it never went anywhere, so…(Also, I would’ve rathered more of Noah’s screentime been used for his plot about feeling like an outsider anyway.)

Add: Rella

The opportunity for sapphic Riley was right in our faces! The plot could’ve happened the exact same, but this time Riley realises she’s “having more fun with Ella than James” because she has feelings for her. (Also has the added bonus of getting rid of Jiley if we can’t do it in season 2.)

Season 4:

Remove: Ralfie

I don’t even care if this would cause Jiley to still be together. (They sadly did despite everything that happened anyway.) We should not have had to deal with another cheating plot involving this ship! Either give Riley an actual plot not surrounding romance or maybe don’t make an OG character the protagonist for the season that was mean to be the start of Gen 2!

Add: Henoah

As much as I like the concept of Nomanda, the canon version of them is just…no. (Meaning they’re also getting removed ig.)  So instead, Noah has just started to not be as hard on and accept himself. New boy comes to the studio and makes him start questioning things. There! He get’s a plot about his sexuality, (which his season 3 one always felt like a code for), and not an OOC one about an injury.

Season 5:

Remove: Noacquie

If Jiley wasn’t a thing, I’d be giving these two the crown for most toxic couple! None of the episodes about them this season were interesting, they made Henry annoying for whatever reason, and Jacquie made me want to bash a head on my wall anytime she started a fight over nothing!

Add: Richola

Okay, this would be just as toxic as Noacquie. But in this case it would more-so be about Lola, who wouldn’t have her feelings reciprocated and would learn to walk away from a toxic crush/relationship. (Which ig Noacquie could’ve taught us, but they didn’t go down that route.)

Season 6:

Remove: Tymy

I love Hamy as a ship, but I could not find myself to care about the drama they had. It was unneeded and we could’ve just gotten them as the healthy couple they were for all of season 6, rather than having to wait till season 7. They could still have Ty as a character but just keep him away from Amy.

Add: Michemily

Do I even need to explain? (Also Michelle would buy the studio with Emily in this case.)

Season 7:

Remove: Pinn

You’d think the writers would’ve learned at this point that nobody cares about/likes cheating storylines at this point.

Add: Heathozzy

We’ve all seen the tension they had. They could’ve easily had Ozzy’s plot be about him finally getting with someone that likes him back. Rather than just backpedalling all his development from season 6.

Season 8:

Remove: Richozzy

Idc about the “development” the show kept insisting they had this season. How about we don’t have these two get together the very same season that Ozzy even starts treating Richelle like a decent person! (Also she should’ve gotten with Shad.)

Add: Pamy

Piper and Finn break up because of long-distance, Piper is now gonna be living with Amu and realises her feelings for her, we all win.

Season 9:

Remove: Micheldon (again!)

I know they properly get together in season 10, but I have a different ship to remove that season. Also, they hinted at it first this season. Michelle still visits and tells Eldon to get over himself. Then she goes back to Emily on their tour and stays there! 

Add: Jetiana

We all were thinking it.

Season 10:

Remove: Haisy

Which writer thought adding in a major love plot only 3 days before filming was going to end well? Doesn’t help that Heath was practically the protagonist this season so we got sm focus on this. Haisy got their platonic goodbye in season 9, keep it that way! This ship was so forced and ruined sm characters. (Again, especially Heath.) Either bring Daisy back and instead just focus on how toxic Carly was to her, or just leave her with the goodbye she got in season 9. (Honestly, I miss the period after that first promo when I thought she’d only be back for the reunion.

Also, justice for Pascale!

Add: Michemily (again!)
