Listen All American does not need another friends to lovers/emotional cheating trope. In the words of T-Pain “DO SOMETHING ELSE!!!” I have no idea why NK would make that the basis of the Jimone/Dimone/Jordayla situation. That’ll look so boring. Emotional cheating has been done before here and been done WELL might I add. The Spelivia/Spayla love triangle might have been one-sided but 3A ATE!!! The cabin episode with both Layla and Liv giving advice to Spencer about the letters and Spencer following Liv, his “friend’s” advice instead of Layla’s, his girlfriend??? Perfection. This show will never serve emotional cheating like that ever again. This show will never serve pining like that ever again. Everything else after will seem lackluster in comparison.
Do something else!!!!! Say what you want about Jimone but no other ship in this universe will ever be them either. Fast burn. Married young. Pregnancy scandal. Forbidden love (kinda). They’re excellent. They’re DIFFERENT. How you calling them boring but shipping ships with tropes that have been done on this show before?? No uniqueness. Just recycled tropes with lackluster chemistry. THAT’S boring. I think that’s why I gravitated to Keisha and Cam and their friends with benefits to lovers situation. Like yes!!! Something different. And even then they made them become friends way too fast for me.
