[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The show would have been so much better if there was some nuance to Shane instead of making him a one note parody of an unlikeable bro that everyone in the crowd can root against.

So many instances where the show's creators clearly think their audience is too dumb to grasp things unless they pound you over the head with it.[/quote]

I think he did have a little nuance. He had a few moments where he showed some actual caring about Rachel. He looked genuinely shaken up when he stabbed Armand. He and his mom have a real relationship!

I didn’t understand how Rachel could fall in love and marry him, then hate all his personality traits as soon as the honeymoon started. 
They portray her as innocent, but to get that far in the relationship she had to totally ignore some huge red flags.[/quote]

She is a gold digger and had temporary remorse which she quickly overcame. [/quote]

I don’t think she’s a gold digger, at least not consciously. Shane was a rebound guy, she enjoyed the perks of his wealth and everything moved too fast. I think she’s weak and naive, but not conniving.[/quote] +1   She looked miserable at the airport when she took him back. She is not happy.[/quote]

In the end she decided to make the "faustian bargain" (her words when she was confiding in Belinda), but it's obvious she is conflicted/not happy about it and who knows how that turns out down the road. It isn't clear if she ended up having a chance to talk to her mother about what she was feeling before reuniting with Shane at the airport.

She was so spoiled and delusional. The best thing Shane did was leave her alone. Lonely loser. Followed by Belinda bailing, again Alone. She smartened up. I still don’t understand why she couldn’t work with Shane. So what he might get annoyed? She really needs to mature. I actually think they were a great couple, probably just what each other needed, opposites so as not to indulge each other’s worst instincts. [/quote]

With that MIL, she will never be happy.[/quote]
