I'm starting to notice that there is a pattern of rushing atypical couples: Gorgeous heiress + game addict, pageant queen + wizard, Izzy + Owen, awkward dweeb + sassy sister, olympic athlete + germaphobe "nerd", CIT girl + trailer trash, associal goth + social cool guy. All of these characters fell instantly in love. Some of these relationships got plenty of attention (Gwent and Skave in particular) but they still fell in love "overnight".

While the typical couples get all the time in the world. Bridgette and Geoff, Jasmine and Shawn, Alejandro and Heather. it was soo obvious these couples would get together, yet it took soo many episodes just for them to develop a crush on each other and eventually get together. (with exceptions of Lindsay & Tyler and Anne Maria & Vito, whose relationships where basically just plotdevices)

Kinda strange that they devote so much time to couples that where clearly "meant to be together" from the start, while they rush the couples that would never even be a couple in real life. I think it would make more sense the other way around.
