・Was he a prick when you first knew him? Fuck yes. But did he grow and become a better man? HELL FUCKING YES.

・You knew Jamie from your school years, he was always the prick, the jock who would tease anyone just so no one would see the hurt he endured

・You used to stand up to him all the time - putting him in his place

・The funny thing was, that later in your life, your brother was chosen for the Richmond team

・And you were forced to go to every game by your mother, and see your former bully play on the same team as your brother 

・It was such a weird situation, and yet you tried to make the best of it. 

・Somehow you became incredibly close friends with Keeley. She saw you trying to find the locker room, to wish your brother good luck. And you became fast friends. 

・Your relationship with Keeley became really important, and once you found out about her and Jamie (after they split up), you were shocked.

  “But, but you’re so - you!” 

“What are you talkin’ about?” 

   “You’re so ... gorgeous, and funny and open-minded...the complete opposite of Jamie!” 

・She just shook her head with a sad smile, “there’s a lot about him that people don’t see. Or understand.” 

・Keeley actually became one of your biggest shippers

・It was a slowburn romance. A lot of stolen glances, baseless insults and light-hearted complaining about the other. 

・Everyone could see it but the two of you

・And you both denied your feelings over and over and over again

・Even Coach Lasso could see it, and it wasn’t until Roy told Jamie to stop being suck a twat, that Jamie realised his feelings 

・Keeley gave her blessing, because you’d never go breach your friendship over a guy 

・When you started going out, Jamie did everything he could to impress you - take you on the most expensive dates to restaurants; one of his ideas was to take you to Disneyland but Keeley said ... that was overdoing it a bit. (She said maybe after a year of dating you’d be comfortable with that idea)

・You were hesitant with the relationship because you didn’t want an immature partner. But although he can be childish at times, he really developed as a person. 

・He’s accountable for his actions - and actually went and apologised to everyone he bullied at school

・You made him watch the Prince of Egypt and he response throughout was “woahh babe, babe what-” “um...why aren’t more people talking about this?” 

・And he basically cried throughout the movie, especially at the end. And then he asked what happens to them after they escape and you’re like ... “babe c’mon. It’s - they’ve literally written...”

・Calls you “babe,” “sexy,” “sweetcheeks” 

・Actually really likes the show Outlander, like ... a lot. To the point that he binge watched it and wanted to dress up as Jamie Fraser for Halloween

・You go to all his games (I mean...your brother is on the same team, so really two birds one stone, right?)

・He always spots you in the crowd (easily done - you sit where Rebecca, Keeley and Higgins do) and when he does, he blows you a kiss. It’s always good luck when you catch it and place it on your heart

Has the show lost its charm for you now that the Ted x Rebecca ship isn't (likely) happening?

Not really! It’s just changed a little. I went into this season not expecting for Tedbecca to become canon anyways, but a shipper can dream.

My biggest gripe with this season is that the character arcs/development feel very disproportionate.

Rebecca’s arc seemed to be largely miraculously solved in Amsterdam. Now, it feels like her role is to prop up the other mains in their development (Roy, Keeley and Ted) now that she’s “chill, wise Rebecca”.

If anything, her arc feels like a resolution to her overarching theme of dealing with finding out who she is post-Rupert but it doesn’t feel like there’s been a specific focal point for her (the psychic feels kinda lazy tbh).

Thats not to say I’m unhappy with the treatment of all characters, I think the show has done a BEAUTIFUL job with the likes of Isaac, Colin and Trent.

But why must we get a concentrated focus in the last season and not have had it earlier on?

I want to know more about the struggles Colin has had as a gay man in a largely homophobic industry. And don’t even get me started on the rejection of Keeley. Her storyline has been abysmal and bi!Keeley could’ve been so much more fleshed out.

Selfishly, I kinda want an ambiguous Tedbecca ending. Something that’s open for interpretation but doesn’t necessarily take the focus away from the show. Ted Lasso is so much more than football, and so much more about wanting the main characters to bang.

If you haven’t seen Ugly Betty, I’d recommend looking at the ending. Both characters move to a new country together (not romantically), but it ends with them agreeing to go out to dinner together.

I don’t think they’d be able to do the relationship justice in three episodes, but it also feels sort of wrong to have both their overarching themes being about self identity post-divorce without showing the prospect of a healthy following relationship.
