Oh yeah, and another thing: I know I like the original pairings the best, but that does not mean I'm stuck on them.

In the first season, the couples were paired up the way they were because that's what worked out the best. Don't get me wrong, having the same 6 six couples for an entire series would be boring. I would support having them be changed up a little. There SHOULD be break-ups and new relationships between the characters in order to have more drama. There SHOULD be new relationships, both brand new ones and ones involving a character that was previously in a different relationship.

But still, either way MOST of the original couples should end up together in the end. Maybe not irrelevant ones like BethxHarold, or even GwenxDuncan. When I mean irrelevant, I mean pertaining to the story line. A major couple like GxT has to get back together in the end. They were by far the most important and dramatic couple, and I see no reason why they don't deserve a happy ending. That's how most stories end anyway. I just don't think that the story would make ANY sense to have a major and important couple like GxT just break up and forgotten. Maybe a lesser-important or less-focussed on couple might not stay together, but the important ones like GxT and DxC most certainly will.

In a way, I think this: The more drama a couple has, the more likely they are to get back together. Unless the couple is abusive, or just a plain bad relationship.
