Talk:Jerrette/@comment-4392070-20111212140907/@comment-4392070-20111213014840

Well, I looked over the comments section on the Jathan page, and there was a lot of romance speculating going on there - so if the Jathan shippers can do that over there, I think it's only fair that we should be able to post our thoughts here. Though I REALLY think it's time the Spam/Jerrette community got it together and established some kind of dedicated forum - the one that currently exists over at z13.invisionfree.com is dead, boring, and totally user-unfriendly. But I suppose that's a topic for another day.

I don't have a problem shipping a real-life pairing, as long as it's obvious that the people involved WANT to be together. For example, I wish Nathan Kress and Madisen Hill nothing but the best, simply because it's clear that they (themselves) have CHOSEN to be together and seem to make each other really happy. I also stayed up all night April 29th to watch the royal wedding because I wanted to cheer Wills & Kate (who clearly love each other) on in their new life together. In the case of Jerrette, Jennette McCurdy has gone on the record (http://www.bopandtigerbeat.com/news-and-gossip/exclusive-rumor-buster-jennette-mccurdy-sets-the-record-straight/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter) as saying that she wishes she were dating Jerry Trainor. Translation: JENNETTE SHIPS JERRETTE!!!! I figure if she can, so can I!

So with that said, I can't deny how I squeed over the way Jen 'n Jer impersonated each other in the interview mentioned above!! Furthermore, I have to give props to the reporter who asked such a perceptive question in the first place. What I saw in that clip were basically all the subtleties and nuances I love about Spam that both Jerry and Jennette bring to their on-screen pairing - the playfulness, the competitiveness ... When I saw Jen gesture for Jerry to imitate her, I felt like she was inviting him to try to one-up her. IDK, the whole clip just felt like a happy reminder of iSYL and the Spammy Assassin game the two characters played.
