To be honest with you Whisper, I don't hate Bonnie... it's just her personality makes her a b****. During the Bonding episode, I saw why she was like that... her sisters always teasing her about "One has the looks, the other has the brains and she has everything else."

I'll do you one better, I'll post it on my server, where you can DL it whenever you want. Here is the link, all you have to do is go and click whatever chapter you want and it will download a .rtf file (i think all comps can read .rtf). If that won't work, just PM me, and I'll get it to you another way. EDIT: I'm only up to chapter 12, 13 is in the works and there should be a couple more (one or two i think, it's all dependent on my muse).

Unless you've been under a rock this past year, I'd like to introduce myself: I'm Lonestarr357 and I hate Bonnie Rockwaller.
'Hate' is a pretty strong word, I know...but it's not like what I feel for her is weak.
Granted, she was but a minor irritation in earlier episodes, but then came "Ron Millionaire". She wants nothing to do with Ron until he gains the $99 million. Then, she's all over him like cheap cologne. He loses the cash (for reasons too mind-numbing on which to elaborate, but that's another thread) and she goes back to despising him.
The irritation only grew worse with "Bonding". She's her normal, unlikable self, which would've been tolerable if not for one scene that lasts barely 30 seconds. Kim and Bonnie prepare for a mission. Enter Bonnie's sisters, Connie and Lonnie (ha ha), who proceed to berate their younger sibling. Asking the audience to feel sorry for this one-dimensionally obnoxious girl (especially by foisting on us her even more one-dimensionally obnoxious older sisters) is dirty pool to end all dirty pool, even more so when you consider that a) in "So the Drama", Bonnie is just as cruel and petty as ever, b) "Hey Arnold!", more or less, turned the same trick with Helga, to no avail and c) "Camp Lazlo" ripped this off with the equally contemptible Edward.
And earlier this year, this woman came into work wanting to return $150 of groceries. As I tried (and didn't quite succeed) to do this, her personality went from flirtatious to insulting. As far as I'm concerned, it's hard not to make the comparison. (And don't think that this is coloring my opinion; my feelings would be the same if this didn't happen.)
I have seen far too many characters like her on a number of shows. I can't help but make an example of her. I still think that looking for goodness in Bonnie is like looking for a corner in a round room. What's more, it's only gonna come off as embarrassing if they try to humanize her in season 4.

I guess you can't like or love everybody... besides Bonnie's personality matches this girl who works with me on my job and everytime we work together we end up arguing and she draws first blood by cursing at me and it goes from there... The other day she has the nerves to ask me "Do I trust her???" My reply... "Not really... You didn't do anything special to earn my trust..." Now was I wrong to say that or not???

Such a shame... really. I honestly believe that it is because of people not giving the "Bonnie's" of the world a chance to change that they continue to be like that.
However, I do agree that honesty is always the best policy, and RC I agree with what you said. She hasn't given you any reason to trust her, however if she does give you reason to trust her, but you still don't like her (aka you still yell at each other) and she asks again it's only fair that you keep up with the honesty and tell her yes you trust her.
And just a suggestion, find a "Bonnie" that you know, and try striking up a conversation with them outside of the normal element you typically see them in... I promise you will be surprised at what you find. Like in RC's case, it could be that the job makes her a royal B**** because she can't stand it, and no it's not right to take it out on her co-workers but some people don't know how to divert their stress until a later more appropriate time.

I actually love Bonnie. Probably would punch her in the snoot if I met her IRL, but on screen, what's not to love.
Prolly why I found her the perfect mate in one fic. ;D

Amen to what Lonestarr357 said upthread. Every word of it. Why do we "haters" hate her? It's simple, really. She's opportunistic, cruel, and self centered. She's rarely been seen doing or saying anything on-screen that wasn't mean or b$#%hy. The best thing that can be said about her is that she's not two-faced; her meanness is front and center and you know exactly what she thinks. Even when she tries to hide it to get what she wants (as in "And the Mole-Rat Will be CGI"), it seeps through. I can't sugar-coat how I feel about Bon-Bon. I hate Bonnie. Hate. Her. I've never made my contempt for her a secret. Her actions specifically in "Ron Millionaire" squashed what little respect I did have and has earned my scorn with her constant and persistant meaness. I mean, yeah you will find that she can be a royal B**** once in a while. But how many people here can honestly say that the have never been a b**** before? Everyone has their moments of b@$%hiness, that's true, but Bonnie's been that way since she first appeared onscreen. The girl even has a b@#$hface on when she's happy. There are many examples, both in RL and in many stories from many different genres in which the "minor protagonist" becomes "one of the good guys" and/or goes their own way to find "redemption". All evidence up to this point (and the official confirmation that she will continue to behave this way next season) suggest that she may not get the redemption you're hoping for. All in all Bonnie has never really been evil, maybe "high school evil", but that's no reason to treat her the way I've seen her treated. I mean at the mere mention of her name some people's first reaction is something to the effect of throwing something at her (I've seen a shoe more often than not) or hurling insults. The reaction people get from Bonnie doesn't come out of a vaccum. It's the things she's actually said and done on the show and her pattern of consistant "mean girl" behavior that turns people off. Now some people may say that the only reason I am defending her is because she is "hot"... That actually played no part in my thought process about this. I just think that we should try to see the best in others (even if they are just an animated object). I would love to believe that, but if Bon-Bon looked like Justine Flanner or DNAmy, there would be no threads like this. No one would be pairing her up with anyone or making excuses for her lousy behavior. She would be that fat and/or ugly b@#$h that no one can stand. It's really nice that you can forgive Bonnie for the way she is; it really is. It seems to me that if you're a Bonnie apologist, you're either really big-hearted or really naive. I'm going to go with big-hearted, though. I say that with all sincerity. I understand your desire to see something good in her and see her be redeemed in the end. I actually like that Bonnie is mean from a storytelling POV; she causes needed conflict in Kim's civilian life. Most normal people seem to like Kim and at least one normal person in her life has to dislike her and cause grief. Bonnie's like J.R. Ewing ( Dallas), in a way. She's just one of those characters "haters" love to hate. Those of us who severely dislike hate Bonnie have perfectly valid reasons for how we feel and can back them up with solid evidence. Just try to understand that and we can all get along just fine. Bon-Bon wouldn't care if she has "haters", anyway. She'd just say we're jealous of her.

She'd just say we're jealous of her. I'm sorry in advance, but I can't help myself... the sarcasm build up is just too much for me to hold back... Could it be because it's true... *ducks and hides away from all women carrying pitchforks and torches*... *found weeks later in the fetal position and it's obvious I didn't hide good enough*... no more joking, no more joking, I'll be a good boy, no not the feather, I'll never do it again...
