The Bermuda Triangle (CBN Edition)

Tue, Feb 05

Reported by Willow S.

If you’re a geography genius… you’d know exactly where the Bermuda triangle is. But if you’re a fangirl or fanboy like the rest of us - you’d know that it’s pretty much everywhere - Upper East Side, Tree Hill, Sunnydale, Neptune, Seattle Grace, Capeside, University Of New York, The Island, Forks and even Hogwarts! Bermuda Triangle is what fangirls and fanboys refer to the complicated love triangles in a series or movie.In Gossip Girl, the hottest Bermuda right now is happening between Chuck, Blair & Nate. If you observe carefully, you might spot a pattern between all three characters involved in a 2 guy/1girl Bermuda. For example: The lead girl is always caught between a funny guy and a brooding guy.

GOSSIP GIRL

Caught In The Middle
Blair Waldorf

Blair Waldorf is New York’s most lovable bitch. And two hot guys chasing after her - proves our point. Blair is also an example of how you should be careful on what you wish for. At the very beginning, she was someone who is completely overshadowed by Serena. She complains how Serena gets all the guys. But not this time. And if we were in her position, we’d all be nose-bleeding just trying to decide who to choose.

Brooding Guy
Nathaniel Archibald

Nate definitely deserves the title as Prince of the Upper East Side. He has every quality, good and bad, of that of a prince. He is innately good but is so caught up with his responsibilities that he keeps making mistakes. Like a prince, he is a magnet to scandal and is always in the middle of everything… although always so clueless that he is. First, he’s in love with Serena… the so-called princess-slash-goddess of NY. But then he heads back down to earth when he decides he’s now in love with Blair, the Queen Bee. He is one of the guys who keeps questioning his existence, making him broody all the time. But then again, who can resist a handsome brood? Especially when he champions the wounded look.

Funny Guy
Charles Bass

There are no worthy words to describe Chuck. He is just so unbelievably unpredictable! He’s a gift of a character and that’s for sure. The thing about Chuck that makes us think he’d be perfect for Blair is that while he’s an ass to everyone else - Blair is the one girl he is really decent with. We can see that he genuinely cares for her and makes an effort to prove that. They bring out the best in each other although they can wreck havoc to anyone else. They’re kindred spirits and together, they are on fire, baby!

WHO’S WINNING: Neither. Looks like Blair had a little too much of too much. Now, neither Nate nor Chuck wants anything to do with her… or don’t they?
WHO SHOULD WIN: Chuck. Come off it - you know you love them.

LOST

Caught In The Middle
Kate Austen

Kate Sawyer is a fugitive. But she didn’t start out that way and she longs to be different. However, there are just some things that are hard to fight and during her stay in the island, this is what’s tearing her up inside. She is fighting an ongoing battle whether to be the person she was or to be the person that she can be… and with this fight comes two guys who represents both sides.

Brooding Guy
Jack Shepherd

Despite how Jack is a doctor, he can’t seem to cure the Hero Syndrome he is suffering from. He always puts others before himself. This earned him the position of being the respected leader of the survivor’s community. The first person he has befriended in the island was Kate and together, they try to fix each other’s broken wounds. However, there are just some things in the past that haunts them and prevents them from having an actual relationship despite the fact that the ongoing romantic tension between never backs down.

Funny Guy
James Ford

Sawyer was a conman would a quest to avenge his family’s brutal deaths. You’d think he’d be the brooding guy but he turned out to be the sexy sarcastic guy whose selfish nature you just love to hate. Being an outcast can be quite tiresome to most but it works for him - and it doesn’t hurt that it’s also the reason why Kate was attracted to him in the first place.

WHO’S WINNING: Sawyer. They sealed the deal by having sex on a bear cage.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Jack. There’s something more than sex about these two and it’s showing. Looks like the L-word confessions are just the beginning too.

ONE TREE HILL

Caught In The Middle
Haley James-Scott

She started out as Tutor Girl. Eventually she became Mrs. Scott. But it was Mr. Keller that urged her to become Rock Star Haley James. There wasn’t a doubt even for a moment that Haley loves Nathan and Nathan loves her back. It wasn’t much of a competition against Chris than it is a competition against her dreams - something that is consistently an issue between the two married couple. But Lucas’ AU episode when he had a heart failure makes us think - what would have happened if she never returned home and continued the tour with Chris?

Brooding Guy
Nathan Scott

When we were first introduced to Nathan, most people hated him because he was a complete jackass. But who would have known that bad motives lead him to become a better man? He wanted to play Haley James just to get back at his half-brother, Lucas. But in the process, he genuinely fell in love with her and because of Haley, he is a better person. Nathan has a lot of issues in his life. Daddy issues, mommy issues, money issues, popularity issues - you name it! Although he isn’t as brooding as his half brother, these issues tend to pile up on him and send him spiraling backwards. Lucky for him, his wife is always there to bring him back up.

Funny Guy
Chris Keller

The only thing that Chris has in common with Nate is that he started out as jackass… but, unlike Nate, he is a jackass through and through. He wrecked havoc by making his way through half of the cheerleading squad… slept with Brooke, kissed Haley and annoyed Peyton to no end. But it was Haley that he had really set his eyes (and lips) on. He was the one who urged her to chase her dreams (and leave Nathan). But no matter how infuriating he can be, his husky voice just sends us swooning still.

WHO WON: Nathan. They’re married. How solid can a ship get?
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Nathan. Despite Chris’ infuriating charm - Nathan and Haley are just, well, always and forever.

GREY’S ANATOMY

Caught In The Middle
Meredith Grey

Meredith is the title character and, from the very beginning, it was quite clear that she and Derek had genuine attraction. But there seems to be a million things that comes between them that hinders them from becoming an official happy couple. She’s even given herself the title, Dark Meredith. When Finn came, he showed her that she can be happy… with him. And, thus, the competition began.

Brooding Guy
Derek Shepherd

If Meredith was Dark Meredith, it’s with good reason. Derek is a catch… that is almost always complete off-limits. First off, he started out as doctor superior McDreamy… making him boss to Meredith. And if that wasn’t enough, we find out he’s married - which made him doctor superior cheating married McDreamy. Af it was any other guy, we would have stirred clear from the likes of him but that’s just it - McDreamy is McDreamy. He’s not like any other guy. Oh, joy.

Funny Guy
Finn Dandridge

Ok, he’s more likeable than funny but he certainly seemed more fun and easy to love than Derek. Let me just say one reason would have been enough - he’s played by Chris O’ Donnell. That plus he’s sweet, kind, brilliant, well-off, passionate, friendly and just so darn charming. Yes, he would have made Meredith really really happy indeed. He might as well walk around with a sign on his forehead that says, “Hey you, I’m angst-free… so pick me.” If it was me, I would have picked him, hands down. But that’s just me. I’m no Dark Meredith.

WHO WON: Derek. It was a very hard choice but Meredith chose Derek over Finn despite the fact that she could have been so much happier with Finn. She can’t help who she loves, after all.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Derek. As perfect as Finn would have been, she can’t love him because Meredith’s heart always belonged to Derek. Finn IS the better guy. But when was love ever rational?

BUFFY, THE VAMPIRE SLAYER

Caught In The Middle
Buffy Summers

Buffy is the kind of girl who can take care of herself - which is a good thing because she needs it. Especially when the guys she attracts are not 100% human. Case in point, gorgeous, irresistible, bloody sexy VAMPIRES!

Brooding Guy
Angel

Angel is in a quest for atonement - all of those he killed when he lost his soul has come back to haunt him when he regained it. With this in mind, I guess his brooding is justifiable. His image certainly calls for it. Always prowling in dark alleys, wearing dark swishy leather cape-like jackets. Give him a few horns and we can call him Batman. His quest for redemption keeps him busy but Buffy was a special girl that certainly made him notice - enough to make him fall in love with her for the first and only time during his existence.

Funny Guy
Spike

Spike cracks sarcastic jokes left and right like it was more of a weapon than his fangs. And when he does - you can’t help but laugh out loud because they are hysterically funny. Despite his filthy actions as a vampire, there’s something about Spike that is unbearably sweet - a residue of his human self. Before he became Spike, he was William - an awkward but adorable poet. It was the complete opposite of the “monster” that he has become. But that part of himself persisted when he fell in love with Buffy.

WHO WON: Neither. This is like the Gossip Girl books all over again… with both ends ending up majorly disappointed. Spike and Angel ended up working with each other leaving Buffy to tend on her own in Sunnydale.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Angel. They DO belong together. That was a given fact from the very beginning. Spike said it better when he said how Buffy and Angel can never be friends because they’re gonna love each other until it kills them both. They’re love was so dangerously intense that they ended up trying to stay away from each other just so they could keep each other safe. Wowzee on a love that intense.

VERONICA MARS

Caught In The Middle
Veronica Mars

Veronica Mars is one of the best female characters out there. She’s an amazing girl that nobody watches but everybody loves. Be it the nerd, the bad boy, the rich boy, whichever! No wonder hot guys are after her despite her being an outsider.

Brooding Guy
Duncan Kane

Duncan had Veronica. Lost her. And the had her again. You would’ve thought that only soap operas have the “I-can’t-date-her-because-she-might-be-my-sister” storyline but apparently they have it too. And VMars is not soap opera. Erm, right? Anyway, these are just “some” of the issues that Duncan had to deal with. There’s the fact that his sister was murdered by his best friend’s father. And there’s also the fact that he just became a teenage father. Despite his brooding, VMars loved him. And he loved her. So soap opera, be damned. Too bad for him, he’s not the only guy in VMars’ life.

Funny Guy
Logan Echolls

Logan was a gigantic pain in V’s arse. He was the guy that she hated to love. But despite his bad boy aura, he was V’s hero. He was there for her when Backup couldn’t. Although V was still sobbing over Duncan’s apparent snob for her, Logan was the one who kept showering her with attention, albeit his kind of attention was not necessarily what V yearns for. During one of this rescues, they discovered, through a serendipitous spur-of-the-moment kiss that there could be something more between them than just playground bickering.

WHO WON: Logan. Well, ok, so we can’t really say that since Duncan had to leave for his baby. And Veronica didn’t actually pick Logan but who the hell cares?! Duncan left. End of story.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Logan. They’re epic, what more can we say?

DAWSON’S CREEK

Caught In The Middle
Josephine Potter

Katie Holmes might have traded her girl-next-door look for a more glamorous Hollywood one but we’re still jealous of her because she still gets the guys we pine for. Joey was the kind of girl that effortlessly attracts guys with her girly charms. So it comes to no surprise that her best pals, Dawson and Pacey, eventually fell for her. Both have a special place in her heart but one can’t have it all - oh, what’s a girl to do?

Brooding Guy
Dawson Leery

Dawson is the melodramatic tortured-for-no-reason movie buff, This idealistic guy’s bright eyes has smitten dear Joey ever since they hit puberty. Theirs was a very confusing, angst-filled relationship - bouncing from friends to loves, neither then both.

Funny Guy
Pacey Witter

Pacey used to be thesmart-talking delinquent. But if there was one thing that he was ever serious with, it was Joey. He fell for her so hard that he was willing to risk his life-long friendship with Dawson and fight for her.

WHO WON: Pacey. We never saw the wedding bells but them snuggling intimately on a couch in the finale was a clear enough sign.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Dawson. Joey and Pacey had the most chemistry but it was clear from the very beginning that it was Dawson and Joey’s story. It started with the both of them, it should have ended with the both of them.

FELICITY

Caught In The Middle
Felicity Porter

Felicity not only has gorgeous curls - she has gorgeous guys after her as well. Ben was the sexy brooding guy we can’t help but fall for. But if he couldn’t even remember your name, it’s nice to know someone like Noel who does.

Brooding Guy
Ben Covington

We can’t blame Felicity for falling head over heels with this guy. Even though he can be so clueless at times - you can’t help but run away with him the moment he asks you to.

Funny Guy
Noel Crane

When Ben gave Felicity the brush-off, she didn’t need comfort food. For what is ice-cream compared to an adorkable fast-talking Noel?

WHO WON: Ben. Years of pining and, finally, Ben returns the love. It’s every unrequited lover’s fantasy come true.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Ben. As adorable as Noel was - Ben was THE guy. Come on - she dropped all her college plans just because this guy wrote a note in her yearbook. It was only fitting that she gets him in the end. We can have Noel.

ALIAS

Caught In The Middle
Sydney Bristow

Sydney has proved that girls can be more than just Bond girls. Albeit, almost all her missions require stilettos - we know of two guys who wouldn’t mind in the least.

Brooding Guy
Michal Vaughn

Agent Vaughn was Sydney’s handler. And he sure did handle her well if you get what I mean. He fell for her, understandably of course. Pretty soon, these two were locking lips amidst exploding rockets in the background.

Funny Guy
Julian Sark

Sex on legs. This guy is a pompous, greedy but very sexy bad boy. His witty lines are delivered by that delicious British accent. Sometimes, we can’t understand half the things he says - so long as it’s coming from his mouth, we don’t care.

WHO WON: Vaughn. They married. On a beach. And had two kids. O.o
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Vaughn. Despite how Sark had erotic fantasies about Sydney - that’s never gonna happen. They couldn’t even stand 2 seconds without trying to kill each other. They would have killed each other just by trying not to kill each other! But if limes are involved - now that’s a whole new different story.

FRIENDS

Caught In The Middle
Rachel Green

Imagine Summer Roberts (from The OC) has grown up and moved to New York. That’s Rachel Green for you. Now imagine an even more brooding dorky Seth Cohen - that’s Ross Gellar for you. Now, imagine a really handsome smooth-talker getting between them, yep… that’s Joey Tribianni.

Brooding Guy
Ross Geller

Ross has been in love with Rachel since forever. And when they finally do get together years after high school, it’s a rocky relationship - always there for each other but never really together together. Their story was always at times angsty, at times funny but always cute.

Funny Guy
Joey Tribbiani

Joey represent all ego-maniac handsome airheads. But the first and only time he was ever in love - it was with Rachel, his long time best friend. Some might think that it was a stupid thing to do… but it’s Joey after all. However, as odd and unexpected this might have been - there was no denying that he genuinely cared for Rachel and wouldn’t have done anything deliberate to break her heart.

WHO WON: Ross. “This is it.”
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Ross. And that was that.

HARRY POTTER

Caught In The Middle
Hermione Granger

Who would have thought being called a witch would be compliment? But it is, apparently, if you study in Hogwarts. But to be called the most clever little witch? Now that’s something. And that’s exactly how Hermione Granger is. Wise beyond her years and a brave soul. No wonder celebrities flock to her (Victor Krum). And no wonder, too, that her own best friends are paired with her.

Brooding Guy
Harry James Potter

If ever Harry Potter is a brood - no muggle or wizard or any kind of creature can blame him. Orphaned at a very young age and always the subject of scandals at his teens… some people who went through all the things he went through would require serious therapy. One of the scandals in question, of course, would have to be that he is breaking hearts all over by dating her best chum, Hermione Granger. And loads of shippers all over the world were wishing that, for once, Rita Skeeter wasn’t a lying little bug. Hermione has always been there for him, through thick and thin - never failing to save him countless times. If Harry was the hero, Hermione was sure as hell deserved to be called the heroine of the series.

Funny Guy
Ronald Weasley

Seems like there was more to Ron than funny faces. Who knew? Apparently, Hermione did. They were always bickering and fighting. They would infuriate each other to no end. Some people would call this madness. J.K.Rowling calls this love. It would seem like the fights were only trying to hide the underlying sexual tension between these two.

WHO WON: Ron. They got married, had kids… and surprisingly, got along in the long run.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Evil!Harry. Oh, the possibilities! If ever there’s a reason to call Ms. Rowling brilliant, it’s because she wrote in that evil kiss.

TWILIGHT

Caught In The Middle
Isabella Swan

This girl is a danger magnet for sure. There’s must be something that this girl eats with her cereals for she gets both a vampire and a werewolf lusting after her!

Brooding Guy
Edward Cullen

Edward Cullen is a vampire. He’s a 200+ guy stuck in a seventeen-year-old’s body. It’s pretty much a weird concept to fall for, er, someone who could be your grandpa’s grandpa BUT, in this case, it’s purely understandable. This guy is beautiful - really really beautiful. At least, that’s how he’s described to be. He was written to be the guy every girl has dreamed of. He’s always been the brooding type though… not as brooding as his also-equally-hot “brother” Jasper but come on, not getting any for a century or so? You can’t blame the poor guy.

Funny Guy
Jacob Black

Ever since Jacob shed his little adorable boy looks and replaced it with that gigantic muscular hubba hubba hunka look - the Edward/Bella love story was shaken. He matched Edward’s powers with his werewolf ones and having more of the human side than Edward, he had advantage… especially since he has a deeper friendship with Bella than Edward.

WHO WON: Edward. It was a very difficult choice for Bella but she chose Edward by the end of the third book, Eclipse.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Edward. He was the Romeo and Jacob was Paris. And who, in their right minds, would pick Paris over Romeo?!

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

Caught In The Middle
Elizabeth Swann

Elizabeth was way way ahead of her times. Dueling with pirates, no she’s not your typical English girl. No wonder guys were falling for her everywhere! And if those guys are played by Johnny Depp & Orlando Bloom?! We can only try to choke ourselves with our corset out of envy.

Brooding Guy
Will Turner

Will has daddy issues. And his destiny is something so gigantic, sometimes it gets between his relationship with Elizabeth. They were engaged to be married but before Elizabeth could walk down that slippery isle, his destiny comes after him and saves them from what could have been a dull happy married life.

Funny Guy
Jack Sparrow

Jack is a complete lunatic but he’s so darn sexy being one - Elizabeth actually couldn’t resist tongue-ing him before stabbing him with a dagger. There’s something so mesmerizing about the way he slurs his words that you’d actually forgive him for not showering for days. Oh and it helps that his being played by Johnny Depp who we all wish shares our bed.

WHO WON: Will. They got married and shags every ten years. Sucky deal but hey, it’s better than no shag at all.
WHO SHOULD HAVE WON: Will. Because Jack Sparrow is OURS!
