"Gilmore Girls" has been my ultimate favorite show since it originally aired on the WB/CW networks. Like many other fans, I was not a huge fan of the final episode, as I felt like the writers left a lot hanging. Particularly, which guy Rory ends up with. Silly I know, but after seven seasons of watching Rory date multiple great guys, it was annoying to be left with her single.
So naturally, when it was announced that Netflix would be reviving the show for four new episodes, I could not contain my excitement! My mind immediately started spinning on the different possibilities of what would happen to each character, and who would be coming back. After months of speculation it was announced that Jared Padalecki, Milo Ventimiglia and Matt Czuchry would all be returning! That means that all three of Rory’s serious boyfriends will be back.
With that announcement, it sparked the discussion between my other Gilmore-Girls-watching friends and I: Who will Rory ultimately end up with?
Well, I’ve broken down the main points for each guy below.
Team Dean
Dean was the sweet first boyfriend that Rory needed. They had a good relationship from the start, and he was very protective and supportive of her.
Their first kiss (in the grocery store, while he was working):

"I have to meet that girl" *swoon*

Remember when he came to Chilton to visit her? "I love you, you idiot."

Team Jess
I won't lie to you, I have always been a Jess fan so this one might be a little biased. While Jess originally comes off as the tough bad boy who doesn't care about anything, he totally opens up to Rory. They have a great connection, and they like all of the same books and movies. They are willing to try new things for each other. Rory definitely helps him become a better person, and he helps her explore new things.

Just look how cute they are:

Remember that time she skipped school to visit him in New York and he takes her to this cool record store, which she falls in love with? Yeah that was cute.

Then several seasons later when she visits him in Philadelphia? I think I see a pattern here.

He appreciates everything she did for him, even years later when they aren't together.

Never forget that smirk.

Team Logan
Logan was a thrill seeking, exciting, "trust fund baby." (Full disclosure: I hate Logan, so this is very hard for me to write). However, he did genuinely care for Rory, and wanted a life with her. He tried his best to help her succeed, and used his connections to help her land an internship with her dream newspaper.
Their first "date" in "I jump, you jump, Jack" was one of the most unconventional and fun things I've ever seen.

— So motivational — But look at the way he looks at her.

He appreciated her brain and her interests, not just her looks.

So are you Team Dean, Jess or Logan?
