I’m so sorry it took so long. But I just want you to know, I really didn't intend to ignore you, and I definitely value your opinion.

Personally I didn’t mind the Beth-Lindsay friendship, because it wasn’t as over the top as Katie-Sadie. It was actively explored and had an appropriate buildup. To me it felt like Katie and Sadie done right. While it may have been a bit over focused, I felt it was reasonable since Beth had such little screen time last season, and it was her time to shine. I certainly liked it a lot more than a lot of the other stuff in the season like Trent and #9, and Owen as the mole. Also I liked the progression and development with Beth, and how she gradually stood up to Courtney.

I have heard of the whole Sadie being friends with Lindsay making her better, but she still felt like she had the same personality as Katie, so it didn’t feel that different to me. I thought some people were being anti-weightist towards Sadie as well, and liked the character because she's fat, because it's not what's expected. I didn’t actually know about Adam Reid and Lauren Lipson, but that really explains why Justin didn’t speak at all except for a few lines in the first episode.

The Katie ships are just ridiculous. It's beyond me why people think it's okay to just take the most plotless girl in the series and pair her with everyone, just because she has no existing relationship to ruin. I can't believe that DJ/Katie and Noah/Katie are popular google searches.

Personally I think every character has the potential to be better and become great, regardless of how much I dislike them. Staci might be the only one I don't see any potential in, and that's only because she was made to be hated.

The deal with Mr. Coconut is not so much the character himself, but the joke in the fanbase about how awesome an inanimate fruit can be. I didn't like Mr. Coconut at all when I first heard about him, but I caught on with the joke later on. Now it's just funny to say that fruit is an amazing character, because he just sits there and does nothing.
