Rory Gilmore and Her Boyfriends: The Complete List

by Kirsten F

*Disclaimer* All of this is formed specifically from my own opinions. Which I am clearly an expert, so there.

I am what one would call a “Gilmore Girls” expert, I have watched each episode enough times to make fully formed opinions on each character and their lives. Today we’re going to discuss Rory Gilmore and her different relationships with each of her three boyfriends during the original series. Rory was shy and timid when we first met her, she was the book reading, music loving, sweetheart that we all loved. Not as flirty as her vivacious mother, Rory was more on the serious side. She was a serious relationship type of gal, who at times refused to stand up for herself. Here’s my very calculated (and science approved) “Boyfriend of Rory Gilmore Scale”. Where we will dive deep into who in fact was the number one beau of our baby Gilmore.

Dean Forester

Dean was Rory’s high school boyfriend, her first one to be exact. When we first met Dean he was that sweet boy next door with great hair. He was polite, respectful, he understood that Lorelai and Rory were a double package. I personally loved Dean up until season two I believe. He became this clingy, needy human and I personally can’t stand that in a partner. To me Dean wanted Rory to utilize all of her time for him, and I’m sorry… But the girl was on a fast track to the Ivy Leagues, she didn’t have time to cater to his needs. Also, let’s not forget to add the fact that Dean was lowkey a misogynist! That entire Donna Reed inspired episode proved that, oh and the fact that he felt like he could tell her what to do and who she was.

Rory was still very new to the whole girlfriend thing, and I think she handled it in her own way. That was their first rodeo at a relationship, obviously if you watched the show you know that they broke up and then got back together. Except when the got back together, DEAN WAS MARRIED, and that’s just a no no! Rory and Dean’s relationship was very juvenile and at times just plain annoying.

To be honest, I give dean a 4.5/10 because although he was a cutie, he was also very shitty.

Jess Mariano

Let me go ahead and just let this be known before we dive into Jess and Rory’s relationship. I can not stand Jess, and I don’t care that he’s gotten his life together. To me Jess was this broody, moody, self centered, self proclaimed tortured soul. He was rude, and treated everyone around him like crap just because he had parental issues, and didn’t know how to deal with it. To me Rory saw Jess as a project … Someone who she could take care of, but in reality he sucked the life right out of her. They were constantly fighting and I truly believe Rory forgot her worth while she was with Jess. Sure they were compatible in certain ways, but the boy had some SERIOUS issues he needed to work out. Who just ups and leaves their girlfriend without saying goodbye? RUDE.

Jess had no idea how to be with Rory, he lacked basic communication skills, and often tried to use sex as a way to get Rory to back off. Not cool bro! Not to mention he was always so disrespectful to Lorelai, and one thing you don’t do is disrespect a girls mama. Let’s also not forget that he was the KING of self sabotage, and didn’t seem to give a damn about that fact. Whatever, Jess was not my cup of tea.

Jess on a point system out of 10… You get a 1/10, The one is for having good taste in music.

last on our list, is the one and only

Logan Huntzberger

I am 100% #TeamLogan , and no… it’s not because he is rich. It’s because out of all two other people Rory has dated Logan was the ONLY one who was honest off the start. He never lied to Rory about what his intentions were, he never tried to change her, nor did he disguise himself as the nice guy. Logan told Rory from day one that he’s a rich, spoiled brat who likes to party. To me Logan was possibly the best guy Rory was with, I think he helped her relax. Now I am not saying that Logan was perfect, in no way was he perfect. To be honest he was very set in his ways, and often was reckless to the detriment of himself.

Logan was a spoiled brat, who eventually grew up, however one thing always remained consistent … He never asked Rory to be anyone other than herself. He actually changed himself while he was with her, which I’m not saying that’s what you should do in a relationship. I think Rory’s relationship with Logan was her first post adolescent one, instead of just breaking up. They actually grew together and worked on their issues. That my friends is how you have a successful situation, COMMUNICATE.

Logan you receive a 8/10 simply because compared to those other two… You’re the bees knees. Also, you’re the hottest of the three.

All of these are strictly my own opinion, and that’s okay. The Gilmore Girls is a staple in my life, and I am very excited for November! I truly hope Logan and Rory get back together because they make me smile. Who’s your favorite boyfriend of Rory?

7 Gilmore Girls Watch Party Must Haves.

by Emery W.

SEVEN MORE DAYS!!!!

Alright guys, we are officially seven days away from Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m not able to contain my excitement any more.

Now, if you haven’t been following the watch schedule I came up with last month, mic.com has a great list of the most important episodes to watch before the revival. Catch up on said episodes, then come November 25, make sure you have these seven must-haves for your GG watch party.

1. Vicious Trollop

You can’t start a revival party without looking the part. One of my favorite episodes is when Lorelai and Emily spend a mother-daughter weekend together, and eventually bond over their love of Vicious Trollop; a perfect pink lip shade. Not only can you find the product online (which I urge everyone to do), but if you don’t have time to get it, just wear your favorite pinkish-red color. When you do, tag us on Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat with the tag #OTEViciousTrollop. We’ll repost our favorite ones!

2. Coffee

You don’t have to watch every episode of Gilmore Girls to know that our favorite mother-daughter pair are the epitome of coffee addicts. Make a pot (or 10), and drink up!

3. Food

Lorelai and Rory are the kind of women that every other woman hates; they eat every that’s considered wrong yet their bodies always look right! I suggest for this night only to binge Gilmore Girls style. Order a pizza, Chinese, buy some Pop Tarts, marshmallows, Red Vines, and anything else that makes you want to vomit. Even add an apple in there for good measure.

4. Team Swag

The one thing everyone is talking about is which of Rory’s old flames she’ll inevitably end up with. In my opinion, I don’t think she’ll end up with any of them because she’s a fierce woman in her own right. However, if my greatest dreams were to come true, Team Jess will prevail. For the occasion get creative, and show us your best take on your team’s swag. Sport a leather jacket if you love Dean, wear your favorite band tee in homage to Jess, or have an umbrella handy if you’re a Logan lover. Use the tag #OTETeam, and show us who your favorite guy for Rory is. Extra points of you can make good use of our favorite underdog, Marty.

5. The Rory

Who remembers the posh 21st birthday party Emily threw for Rory in season 6? I know I do, and I’ve always wanted to try Rory’s signature drink, The Rory. The characters on the show don’t think too highly of it, but it’s up to you to make your own opinion. I won’t give you the recipe. You’ll have to watch the episode yourself to get it.

6. Your Favorite Book

Rory is the ultimate book worm. You’ll remember in season 2 when she and Lorelai take an impromptu trip to Harvard, and Rory freaks out over not having read enough books in her 16 years of life. Make sure you have your favorite page-turner with you. You get major props if it’s a Proust.

7. Kleenex

The feels that this revival are already more than I can handle so Kleenex will undoubtedly be required for this four-episode extravaganza. Make sure you’re stocked up.

We here at On The Edge will be live-watching the revival the moment it releases on Netflix next Friday, and we want you to join us and me this an interactive experience. Get your revival items, log onto and follow us on all our social media accounts, and live this tale with us.

The Ultimate Gilmore Girls Watch Party Schedule.

By. Emery W.

Where you lead, I will follow…. STRAIGHT TO NETFLIX.

Anyone else out there a massive Gilmore Girls fan? If you’re not, you should be and soon! Netflix is releasing a four-episode special of the popular CW show entitled, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on November 25th. In preparation for such a momentous occasion, I’ve decided to re-watch the entire series in 34 days. That’s right; 7 season, 153 episodes, in 34 days.

If you’re like me, and have a full-time job, semi-regular workout routine, and somewhat of a social life, this is a rigorous binge-watching challenge, but totally worth the time. The best part about it is, it’s all on Netflix so I can watch while I’m on the treadmill.

Of course, you don’t have to follow this exact schedule. This happens to be fixed to my regular functioning hours, but if you have more time, more power to you to watch. Plus if you’re an insomniac, you can watch through the night, and pull a classic GG move, and load up on coffee the next day. It’s your choice.

*Each episode is approximately 45 minutes long (give or take) which is where my time line came from.

Beginning Friday, October 21st:

8 PM – 11 PM Season 1, Episodes 1-4

Saturday, October 22nd:

10 AM – 11:30 AM; Episodes 5 and 6
8 PM – 11 PM: Episodes 7-10

Sunday, October 23rd:

9 AM – 12 PM; Episodes 11-14
3 PM – 4:30 PM; Episodes 15 and 16

For the following six weeks, the schedule will go as follows:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday; 7 PM – 10 PM (4 episodes)

Wednesday*; 6:45 PM – 9 PM (3 episodes)

Friday; 8 PM – 11PM (4 episodes)

Saturday; 10 AM – 11:30 AM/2 PM – 5 PM (6 episodes)

Sunday; 9 AM – 12 PM/3 PM – 4:30 PM (6 episodes)

*Wednesdays are carved out this way so that I can still have my American Horror Story fix.

You see? There’s plenty of time for lunch breaks, Sunday football, and a weekend social life if you so choose to have one. If you follow this schedule, the last episode of season seven would be watched on Thursday, November 24th. One day before the new episodes are released.

Sound complicated? Don’t worry. Like I said, it’s not a must that this schedule be followed to a T. Watch at your own pace. But I do highly suggest watching the series because I’ve got a feeling, these new episodes are going to be great.
