(SPOILER ALERT: don't read if you haven't watched the prestige but plan to!!)
I always thought that Olivia was completely undeserving of the love of one of Christian Bale's characters. Ever since watching Thre Prestige, I've always grimaced at the thought of Scarlett Johanson (however you spell her name ...). I probably wouldn't have minded her if it wasn't for Sarah, his wife. I thought she was adorable. She was always so nice, and seemed to really care about one of his halves. I was really sad when the part of him that loved Olivia caused her to kill herself.

So basically, I hated olivia for breaking up the nice part of Alfred and his wife, Sarah, because I really liked them as a couple.

Please comment for my article!!

(Yes, I'm stealing another idea of the disney princesses spot ... shame on me)

Shock! Who picked Amled and Ethel? And why! They are so sweet together - I mean, they're adorable ... I supposed they'd go at some pint as a lot of people probably haven't seen the prince of jutland, but right at the start!?!?
I always liked Amled being with Ethel, to be honest.

But wait! If you've chosen Amled and Ethel you must have seen Royal Deceit which means you must like Amled better with the blond chick whose name I can't recall!! Wow .. I mean, they were kinda sweet together, but not so much As Amled and Ethel ...

There just never semed to be any chemistry between John and Pocahontas - I mean, she was completely undeserving of his love, and seemed to throw it all back in his face by simpy not caring about him one bit.

@ Ashley-Green: Hmm... It's perhaps an overreaction on your part about Amled and Ethel - I mean, I like Amled being with that blond girl better that Ethel. Ethel was always, in my opinion, very cold towards Amled, kind of standoffish, and she never really atempted to show him any great kindness. The blond girl, however, saved his life and eventually gave hers for him through default!
And on the subject of Alfred and Olivia, I have to say that my feelings about that are basically the same as yours. I preferred the wife, which led me to dislike Olivia, who i viewed as being the cause of the wife's death

They're not even really a couple!

@ doc-choc:
They don't have to be a couple to be in this pick - there just has to be feelings on one side for the other side. I think that John and Mary are a dynamic couple, and that Mary is what really brought john back to life. i mean, sure, I liked John's wife better, because I don't really like Emily Watson that much, but she didn't pose any competition for the wife, she just made him realise that he was sad about the wife dying, and he was sad about Mar dying, She helped him to feel again.

@madonna26:
Frankly, I always respected John's desicion to take Pocahonatas' hand in marriage, and accepted that he must therefore think very highly of her and love her. Those conclusions always led me to liek thei being together, but, for the same reasons as you have (she's undeserving and doesn't care for him), I always disliked the fact that they actually were together. However, I would have been much grumpier if John hadn't got what he wanted and what would "inevitabely" make him happy - Pocahontas.

Haha, yes I probably was overreactin about Ethel and Amled being picked as a least favourite pairing, but honestly, you prefer him being with that blond chick? And you're not kidding ... which shocks me. Sure, I like him with her, but the way you're talking about it, it sounds like, because they did (it) a lot of the time, you deduced that he cared for her and she for him to innumerable extent. Sure, she saved his life, but if Ethel had been in her position, it is almost assured that she would have done the same.
Also, Ethel is never cold and unfeeling towards Amled! From their very first conversation and even their first exchanging of glances you can feel the connection.

You have got to be kidding!! Ethe and Amled got picked again! Some people must really hate them ... *sob*

Hello again. You may have noticed that I added another opyion after 5 people had already picked. Well, as it is the first day, and I was begged, I added it, but there will be no further additions, and I apologise if that upsets anyone's previous choices

Poor Ethel ... what did she do to deserve this ...

(I assume you mean Mandras, not Manrdas)

Anyways, I hated Pelagia - she was such a bitch to Mandras, and just left him out of the blue. I blame her father largely for that though, call me crazy if you wish.

Mandras was totally perfect, he was smart (though he couldn't read or write he probably would have picked it up easily if anyone had bothered to teach him), he anaged to make Pelagia laugh and be happy, cracking her hard exterior, and though he fooled around, he wasn't simple, he had lots of highfluent ideas and was, well, deep. She could have had no real reason for leaving him.

Mandras + Pelagia = Love. (more so on Mandras' part)
Corelli + Pelagia = Lust.

Seb, I agree with your mathematical equations (LOL), but in essence, it's not really what became of the couple, but what the couple were when they were together. Knowing this, you may want to rethink your comments or you answer. Sure, Pelagia proved that she was unworthy of Mandras (yes, apologies for the misspelling) by ditching him eventually (whilst he was off being glorious), but when they were together, they made each other so happy! It's not like they were a perfect match, but not everyone is, and if nothing bad had happened to their relationship (like war and corelli) then it could have stood the test of time - though perhaps Pelagia would have been too fickle ... hmm ... but anyway, I disagree with you in essence, though I accept that what you say is true. As a couple, I like them. As Pelagia and Mandras, in all eventuality, I dislike them. But, this is about when they are a couple, not what becomes of the coupling.

OK, I haven't actuall seen this film, but I like all the couples with films I've seen, so I picked this, because ... well, it doesn't even make my favu=ourites list, which make it my least fave right? :P

richardishot (you don't know how wierd it felt typing out your username), No, the idea of this pick is to pick the couple which you actually have a reason not to like, however, if one couple won through default (because no-one knew them and therefore no-one picked them), that wouldn't prove who was everyon's favourites, though I think it's safe to say that people will pick the ones they don't know out before their own favourites, so please, next time, pick one you know, and you like the least.

It appears that people either don't like Amled, or are just really opposed to him ever being with anyone ...

I wanted him to be with Jo. People always say that they couldn't have been together, Jo and Laurie, because they were opposing forces, blah blah blah, but I think that they were perfect for each other. I swear his marrying Amy always had something to do with his love for Jo, and it always just seemed WRONG to me.

Posy is such a bitch!! It's all about her father's basically hypnotic hold over her which leads her to leave the idea of running of with Edward - I mean, how stupid can you get! He loved her, and she supposedly loved him!! What is this unswaying loyalty to her father?!?! It's hateful!!

Anyways, even when they were 'together' she seemed like she wouldn;t make him happy anyway - she was quiet and silly. He needed someone more ... I dunno, perfect.

@ The_Balehead:
Okay, my views on the Jo/Amy and Jo/Laurie relationships are:

Jo should have put her pointless worries aside (along with that old peadophile) and accepted Laurie, they got on really well, and just because they would be married wouldn't make a difference to that BRILLIANT relationship.
I know what you mean when you say his love for Jo was what led him to marry Amy, but I think that Amy was far too strong-willed (translation: annoying) to marry someone who like them for their sister. She did say, when he was first courting her, something about not being with him because he still loved Jo, I think in response to the fact he said he HAD to be a part of the March family, but all her thoughts and worries on such account were clearly dispelled, as she DID marry him.
Therefore, I trust Laurie's judgement, and am glad that he is happy with her, whilst disliking Jo's judgement entirely.

@BBalehead:
Yes, Posy does seem to be held under some kind of hypnotic hold by her evil father, but that doesn't mean that her love for Edward waned at all, and I'm sure that she would have made him very happy, and he her! Certainly, she didn't deserve him (who ever deserves any of Christian Bale's characters?), but she did her best, and the only reason she would appear not lively etc, was because (in my opinion) she was cooped up in that terrible place, and all manners of restriction were placed upon her. Had she been freed from these boundaries by the glorious Edward, I think that in her newfound freedom she would have revelled, and made merry aplenty. I don't think we can accuse her on those grounds.
However, when it comes to how steady she is, I'm not certain what to say, as I personally would have run away with him the moment I saw him, poor as he was, but she hesitates, then takes a great step forward by saying she will .. and then, she doesn't. I was never sure if that meant she was scared of her father, feared fo Edward or herself, or merely got over him ...
So I understand your picking that couple, but nit first. No, not right away. There are much more undeserving people there.

Sarah was a TOTAL PLOT-HOLE!! And seriously, they met, what? 3 times? And then they kissed? That's just ridiculous

Oh, a "plot-hole," was she? Or maybe you're just jealous huh? Everywhere I go, there's always some deranged Newsies fan that bags Sarah out for being a plot-hole. Seriously people!! Their kiss was kind of a spur of the moment thing, and hey, I think you're forgetting one VERY important thing. It's Disney. Disney I tell you!! Looking back on all those Disney films you watched as akid, how many of them have characters like that? Umm ... I'd say ... probably ALL OF THEM. It's called love at first sight when it's a cartoon, but as soon as it's upgraded to real people, you get the fans bitching about it.
Okay, there relationship was actually better developed than a lot of Disney relationships, I'll think you'll find. They met three times? Wow, in Disney that's like ... 300 times.
Be honest with yourself: Sarah is NOT a plot-hole, seeing as plot-holes don't usually take the form of people who go around kissing Christian Bale. It's not even a really bad insult, I mean, even if she was one (which she isn't) how would that be her fault? It's not about how their relationship developed though (to be frank with you) it's about: DO YOU LIKE THEM TOGETHER.
Well, do you like them together? Do you like the fact that Jack decided to stay for her? Do you? Would you rather he'd completely shunned her, or Kenny Ortega had decided to leave the fans guessing about whether or not they would ever be together? Personally, I like a story to have an ending. You, however, don't really appear to care about that side of it.

Seriously, there are a multitude of mistakes in Newsies (look carefully, you'll find them), but Sarah isn't one of them. Just because she and Jack are attracted to each other fairly quickly doesn't mean she stuffs the whole story up. Think of a new insult, and get over the whole plot-hole thing, it is just soooo untrue.

One minute to go and it appears that Amled and Ethel will be given the boot ... I shall curl up in my bed and sob for the next few hours ...

It is closed and Amled is Ethel-less :(

I love that you wrote like a whole page in response to my two lines. All I can say is: you must have been pretty bored.

And in response to your argument: yes, it's a fair argument, and I'm not going to stand by what I said, but I'm still going to keep picking Jack and Sarah until they're out because they're still my least favourite couple. Yes, I am jealous of Sarah ... that's probably what makes me hate her so darn much.
