Entertainment Weekly's Fall Preview came out today and some hardcore fans couldn't believe they had the audacity to put a picture of the Scandal Jake/Olivia/Fitz love triangle on the cover...with an axe so close to President Fitz's head.
Scandal fans ( some of the most vocal peeps on the internet) have made it abundantly clear they do not like Jake (Scott Foley) being the third wheel in the Olivia (Kerry Washington) and President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) relationship. Basically they 'ship (slang for "worship") #OLITZ (Olivia & Fitz) hard and aren't here for Jake and Olivia (#JALIVIA) getting together...ever...like not even for a minute.
When it comes to Jake and Olivia, many Scandal fans are like:
This comes on the heels of a summer filled with heightened emotions in Scandal fandom. Between Foley becoming a series regular, dashing the hopes of an OLITZ wedding and Washington up and getting married out of the blue when no one in fandom even knew she had a man, fans have been taking to Twitter to talk about their feelings. Some OLITZ 'shippers already made elaborate inspiration wedding boards for an OLITZ wedding and have threatened to never watch the show if Jake continues to be a potential love interest for Olivia...and those were the calm and rational tweets.
It's gotten to the point where Shonda Rhimes has pretty much said, "You betta get out of my face with this nonsense" (we're paraphrasing) and made it known that if you tweet her your foolishness, she will block a bitch.
The good news is when Rhimes isn't shutting down somebody’s noise on Twitter she is dropping hints about Season 3. Will you watch? Of course you will.
What do you think? Do you think Liv should not date anyone while she waits for Fitz?
Whoa, Scandal peeps 'ship hard!
ReplyDeleteShe needs to hold her horses and wait for Fitz. Her panties must be on fire.
ReplyDeleteOLITZ FOREVER! Let Mellie have Jake.
ReplyDeleteSome of these Scandal fans are out of their minds. You can't be disturbing Shonda Rhimes' peace over a fictional TV show.
ReplyDeleteMost fans weren't expecting OLITZ to marry this season, but Fitz should get an divorce first. A sitting President divorce storyline would be exciting to watch. As far as Jake goes, EW just lost money because we hate Jake. We don't hate Scott the actor, but Jake the character is creepy and pointless. EW going learn...online fans might be small, but we are loud and vocal. Scandal fans RUN TWITTER! Don't test our gangster!
ReplyDeleteCO-SIGN!
DeleteThese gifs are everything!! LMAO!
ReplyDeleteShe can date that good looking Senator Shaw until Fitz gets a divorce. Girl got needs. But, no Jake. Hell no!
ReplyDeleteWho is Senator Shaw?! I don't remember him. What episode is he in?
DeleteOh yes, yes! Senator Shaw is from Season 1 "White Hats Off" and is as FINE as the day is long... yes, yes... bring HIM BACK.
DeleteI believe he was the Senator from episode 1 of season 2 who got caught having sex in his office. Handsome actor played him and he was interested in Olivia, but the scene was deleted.
DeleteSenator Shaw is this guy. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1938755/
DeleteHe is sexy and single for Liv.
Why does everyone hate Jake? But nobody is mad at Fitz?
ReplyDeleteWhy should we be mad at Fitz? He earned Olivia back. Jake is a weirdo watching that sex tape over and over like some pervert. The tape Liv's dad hired him to film. Creepy dude. Let Mellie have him. She just as bad in bed as Jake. They would be perfect together. Let Olivia and Fitz give the show some sexy.
DeleteHow do we know Jake is bad in bed? He looked like he had good form to me... and I was ALLLL up on my TV watching plus rewound several times..HAHA!
DeleteI don't know. He earned her back but then went crawling back to his wife. He really loved Liv he would do what he has to do to clear the deck for Olivia.
ReplyDeleteI like Jake. He was just doing his job by spying on Olivia. I think people are just mad at him because he's not as sexy as Fitz. It's not his fault though.
ReplyDeleteIf people don't start minding their manners. Shonda is going to drop both her tittles on everyone's head and write a Jake and Olivia wedding.
ReplyDeleteShe can write it, but nobody will be watching by then. The online buzz is what saved Scandal in season 1. This buzz included a huge Olitz fanbase on twitter. So if Shonda wants to kill her show, go for it.
DeletePeople this is tv fiction. . let enjoy the show. the only thing I do not like with Scott foley he is so rude with the scandal fans. and the show is not a soap , love triangle and about him. . I want to know more about Harrison, Abby and not jake. love triangle is soap I do want to see that. if the show go there ,it will be epic fail.
ReplyDeleteHow was he rude? What has he said?
DeleteScott Foley is not humble like Tony Goldwyn. This is a fact. he needs training media. because the show is not about him. the show is about a fixer . Why they did not put Columbus Short, Darby or Kathie lowes ?
DeleteFoley is very arrogant on twitter when it comes to Jake. He called Tony Goldwyn old in a magazine. Funny, Tony looks better than he does and has a better body for an old man. I agree, EW should have put fan favorites on the cover, not one of the most hated character on the show. Stupid move.
DeleteIn all fairness Foley gets a lot of abuse so he just seems a little defensive. He should use the Tony Goldwyn charm offensive and tweet more compliments and happy birthdays. We're chicks...we eat that stuff up..lol! It's not his fault Shonda writes Jake the way she does. He was funny and humble in the beginning when he said tht even his wife roots for OLITZ. At this point a little self-deprecation would go a long way...these OLITZ fans are ball-busters.
DeleteI do not like this cover because Scandal is not a soap. E,w should put Opa staff: olivia, Harrison , Abby and Quin. and we know if shonda continue to destroy Fitz character for Jake . I am sure the show will be cancel. Tony Goldwyn is a smart and humble guy and a good outspoken for the show. do no go there because it is unfair.
ReplyDeleteTony gives the best interviews. Very smart man. Kerry Washington is the star of the show, but Tony does a great job as the leading man. Both are so humbled and loved by the fans. Scott Foley is clearly out of his league next to Kerry and Tony. Word of advice Foley, you do not antagonize Olitz fans on Scandal. They represent the largest fanbase on the show.
DeleteTony Goldwyn should open a charm school for young actors.
DeletePretty much anyone who was cast as Jake would have a hard time. I hope Foley doesn't take it personally and that Jake eventually gets a big come up like David Rosen did.
ReplyDeleteNo Jake does not need a big come up...what kind of dude is charged with watching someone and then sleeps with the person he's supposed to be watching...hes a perv.
ReplyDeleteAll you Fitz lovers basically just want to have sex with Tony Goldwyn which is understandable but it's clouding your better judgement. Why shouldn't Olivia date until if/when Fitz leaves Mellie. If he really wanted to leave, he would have left already.
ReplyDeleteBecause Shonda is the runner of the show and she wrote Fitz a weak an continue to destroy this character ,if you really watch the show , on the back 9 episodes , she put a lot on fitz character, weak , drunk extra...... This is the president, and you make hime kill a supreme court woman who whas the best friend of his father , Why? an this same woman has paid to kill him. Scandal will become crazy sorry I won't be there for that . there are to many goods shows on tv now.
DeletePeople love Scandal because this is bold tv show and the actors are smarts , brilliant and stellar. but if the show change direction and become a soap opera ,it will be epic fail.
People the point is E.w should put OPa on the Cover. E.w made a mistake and maybe want to promote Scott. But the show is not about him. Whatever Shonda want to do with this character because this is her show. the fans of Scandal are brilliant and intelligent and understand the show wass not a soap opera. because there was no love triangle between Mellie, Fitz and Olivia. This is Shonda Rhimes show she can do what she want, but Scandal fans are brilliants and not idiots ?????????????
ReplyDeleteAll I know is I need to see Columbus Short in sum shorts this season!
ReplyDeleteWow, this article is really very good, so that I can't say how happy feeling. The article make every detail of the story depicts streaming with the best, and every movement of the characters all write so lifelike, let me see the waves excited. 3d virtual animation
