Hmm, I suspected that's why you hated her. It seems to be mandatory for every Zoey fan to be an Anne Maria hater, I was once there myself.

I'll be honest, I did not like Anne Maria at all when I first heard of her. She was so rude and obnoxious, and her Jersey Shore Expy didn't help either. However when I actually sat down and watched her closely, she's actually much more than rude love-triangle fodder. She has a very vibrant, complex personality: being quick-to-anger and aggressive, but at the same time she is intolerant of excess cruelty like Jo, and means well deep down. She can easily be friendly if she wishes to, as evidenced with Cameron. In fact she and Zoey got along when they first met, it's just things didn't quite go out with them with the inclusion of Offensive Mike. If he was booted in Ep. 2 then Anne and Zoey could easily have been friends in the season.

Plus she has so many memorable moments and great one-liners, such as the one I currently have as my signature. All friendly or all mean characters are fine, but it's sometimes nice to have a character who's a mix of both and sits in the middle.

I won't force you to change your opinion, but just consider that how Anne and Zoey turned out was more of an unfortunate series of events, rather than full blame on her character.
