Em Burnham

But I really loved his character because firstly, I'm glad they changed it and didn't make him another jock.

I'm glad they kind of made him the opposite of Garrett, but also still really likable because whenever we have these situations where it's fake dating to real dating or enemies to lovers, there's always that third person.

And the audience is meant to root for the people they know are going to end up together, not root for the other person.

But they made Justin really likeable.

Like he didn't have any like flaws in the sense where he wasn't a dick to her.

He wasn't ignoring her.

He wasn't bad at music.

He wasn't a shit person.

They made him like a proper person that makes sense where you're like, yeah, I can see why she likes him because he is a really nice guy who's helping her with this song so she can get a scholarship.

And the fact that even though it didn't work out with them, he still helped her.

Yeah.

So I'm glad it's like they gave the challenge to the audience to really pick who they wanted her to end up with.

And I think it was a worthy challenge.

Yeah.

Otherwise you're like, this woman is crazy.

Exactly.

Which is what I feel like they kind of failed at when we did our brutally honest review of The Summer I Turned Pretty, where I think they made Jeremiah a bit too unlikable.

Okay.

You were a bit into him.

But it was like the last season, they made him like a completely different person because they needed everyone to root for Bailey and Conrad.
