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?
