A Lot More People Than You Think Are Team Dean

We’re just going to get this out the way now: Dean Forester is probably one of Gilmore Girls‘ most frustrating characters, and we’ve got plenty of reasons why he drives us absolutely insane. Given all the cons stacked against Rory’s first love, you might be surprised to learn that a lot of people are actually Team Dean. Crazy, we know.


Even though Jared Padalecki (aka Dean) already said that he won’t have much screentime on Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, there appears to be a huge chunk of people still holding out hope for a Rory and Dean rekindling.

With the reboot’s premiere date just days away, Yik Yak conducted a survey, asking people whose team they’re on—Dean, Jess or Logan. Just looking at the map, there’s an overwhelming number of states that are totally Team Dean.

Even though neither Dean nor Rory is perfect, we just can’t condone Dean’s actions across the series. We also can’t help but feel as though Rory deserves someone better. It looks like we’ll just have to wait until November 25 to see the drama unfold!
