Dean vs. Jess
|
Category: Gilmore Girls
Here is my pro-con list of Rory’s loves. The winner will go on to challenge her next boyfriend in a pro-con list. Think of it as death match with pro-con lists. This is a list for the still bitter discussion which should Rory have chosen, Dean or Jess? I have always liked Jess more than Dean. For all of Jess’ faults, after Rory broke up with Dean he said he had to go take care of something (break up with Shane), before he kissed her. Which is more than I can say for Dean. However, the list has spoken. Did I leave something out? Disagree with anything? Leave a comment & let me know.
| Dean Pro | Jess Pro |
| Tall Nice Changes the water bottle Lorelai likes him Doesn’t get in trouble Handsome Hangs out with Lane Planning on college Remembers birthday Built Rory a car Comfortable with the phrase “I love you” Will watch movies with Lorelai & Rory |
Exciting Reads a lot Does things his own way Deep |
| Dean Con | Jess Con |
| Not a lot of common interests Really likes sports Doesn’t read Doesn’t feel a need to travel Breaks up with Rory quickly |
Lorelei doesn’t like him Stood Rory up Used Shane because he couldn’t have Rory Wrecked her car Town doesn’t like him Drifter Didn’t take her to the Prom Not tall Cuts school a lot Gets in fights |

I’ve never understood the anti-Dean sentiment. Tall, handsome, sweet. What’s not to love? Sure, he might not be a rocket scientist, but it made sense for Rory - having seen her mother’s lifetime of romantic angst - to go for someone straightforward and solid, someone she could count on. Unfortunately, straightforward and solid doesn’t make for great television. I didn’t thing ANYTHING could make me root for Jess, but a couple episodes of Logan was all it took…

I can’t say that I loved either of her boys. I guess the lists tell me that it really just depends on what Rory is looking for…if she wants a tall puppy dog, then she should pick Dean…if she wants a smarty pants rebel, then she should pick Jess. Personally, I’d like her to explore other options!
