There are so many storylines that can be explored I hate to have any guest on for 6 episodes. If Routh is competing for Sarah’s love it has to generate a lot of the angst that I despise over 6 episodes. Of course if he is successful in bedding down Sarah that will be my last episode. I do not want her being intimate with anyone but Chuck and vica versa. I may have to skip most of the Routh episodes because to me the comedy and action would not be worth going through the romantic heartache. Chuck and Sarah relationship is the primary reason I watch the show. Everyone may watch it for a different reason and that is fine but the relationship is the primary reason I watch the show and if F&S want to travel down the angst road they can do it without me. I prefer more uplifting amusement. It would be interesting to see the price of angst on viewersship. Some feel a little betrayed now by the anticipation of an increase in angst for season 3. As I have quoted previously I do not believe you can accurately prove your point with an online poll because very few watching the show posts anywhere and we are talking millions of viewers. It is up to F&S and the market to determine the shows success. If I wanted love triangles I would look at soaps. Hopefully I can get through all 19 episodes without departing early. It is after all only a television show.

In reply to Jeff. "Besides, if Sarah wouldnâ€t leave Chuck for major hotties like Bryce or Cole, then Routh has little chance of success. Routhâ€s kind of bland in the looks department." I strongly disagree with that! Routh is so very handsome. ;)

In reply to mizenkay. Oh, believe me, Brandon has the comedic chops. ;) He was very funny in "Table for Three" (a film he made with Sophia Bush) and in "Zach & Miri Make a Porno". Plus his Clark was really funny. He's got what it takes.

In reply to Alris. Well said! Some angst is necessary for the sexual tension to work. Once they get together/get married, most people lose interest and the show is over. I'm confident the producer/writers will be creative enough. I mean, they KNOW what's at stake here.

In reply to Pat. Well said, and interesting theory. I think this season could be the best yet.

In reply to stella. so u aren't even curious on how everything will pan out? Who said that Sarah will hook up with Shaw. Do u have any inside info that we aren't aware of? I don't undesrtand how ppl get freaked out for something that it's most likely a teaser to stir em up. Didn't u lear already that all the spoilers are from JS so he can piss ppl off?
