Betty or Veronica?
A simple thread, and a simple poll. It all came from another TVTropes binge. Cheryl Blossom and any other Archie crushes don't count.
In addition, we can discuss which we'd prefer in real life. I'm a Betty guy all the way.

Why is there no 'Aaagh! Make it stop!' option?
Who the hell is Cheryl Blossom? The very name makes me feel slightly ill.

Cheryl Blossom
Think of her as being a failed atempt at a uber-amalgam of Betty and Veronica. She's uberbeautiful (at least according to Archie's standards), richer than Veronica, and...and...I don't get it either. Putting aside the fact as to whether such a girl would be a good match for Archie, WHY is she attracted to a nobody like him, and HOW could he fit into her life? I include her just because she is an official contender for Archie's heart.

...I must admit defeat. What, pray tell, is a Veronica or a Betty?

Well, specifically Betty and Veronica are the two main love interests of classic everydude Archie. In general, it's a poll to ask which of the two "extremes" of love interests you prefer. "Betty" is the more traditional, dependable one, and "Veronica" is the more extreme, nonconventional one. Here are some Trek analogues to help you:
Archie Betty Veronica Troi Riker Worf Leeta Rom Bashir Picard Crusher Vash Archer T'Pol Trip

Oh, for Zarquon's sake, it's Archie! There have been umpteen Archie comic books over DECADES! Don't tell me that Canada doesn't have xerox joke comics, where they just recycle the gags every few years, changing the joker and the jokee every once in awhile. Look it up on Wikipedia.

I've heard of Archie but never read it or even seen it published.

Oh. I figured Archie came from Archer. Silly me.

I wash my hands of this whole thing. If you don't understand the options, don't participate. Start your own poll. We can always use more discussion in this forum.

As for me, I've heard rumors of other continents, but they nearly always start and end with "A" so I figure people are just confused on how to pronounce "America".

Anyway, in answer to the original question: I've never paid attention to the Archie comics myself, but based on the personalities I'd have to go with Betty in terms of settling down with someone.
Veronica sounds more like the sort who can enliven a dull class. :lol:

There are a lot of Canucks among the forumgoers. Sue a guy for taking a mental shortcut. And I'd prefer it if you don't insult my geography skills. I did beat out my entire school to a Geography Bee crown once upon a time.
As for a "What?" option, it hadn't occured to me. I sort of assumed that people who didn't understand the choices would simply move on to other threads.

See when I first read it I assumed it was a 'Veronica Mars' versus 'Ugly Betty' versus 'Some other person I never heard of' thing. Hence the 'Aargh, make it stop' comment.
The name 'Cheryl Blossom' is still making me slightly nauseous. Nate! Educate me! Direct me to an Archie website or summat.
