After 70years of haberdashery Archie finally chooses Veronica! In my opinion, she was way better than Betty, who was nice and all of that, but where was the style? The sass? They’re both hot, I mean they practically have the same face with a different wig, but I’d choose a brunette any day.
There have been a lot of complaints, apparently Veronica is too “mean” for Archie, and Betty being the nice girl should win at the end of the day. Well that’s just not realistic, why go for boring but nice Betty when you can have exciting and unpredictable Veronica with Daddy’s trust fund? It would have just been too Hollywood for the good girl to win out.
Betty deserves him, she doesn’t throw money at her problems, she solves them herself. But life was never about getting what you deserve, it’s about clinging onto the best opportunities. I wonder what will happen to Betty now though? Will she find an equally awesome guy or will she die of loneliness? That will be the true testament to the storyline.
If you ask me, this is all just a headline grabbing ploy and Archie will change his mind and pick Betty. But to be honest, its been Veronica’s game all along, Betty was always taking seconds or trying to do all these schemes to win Archie, who was pretty much head over heels for V the entire time. The story isn’t just suddenly making the nice girl lose, the entire plot for fifty thousand years was nice girl loses to selfish, rich girl.
Betty never got to choose to move on, she always just kept pining. I feel sorry for her. Man, I suddenly feel like writing some kind of feminist angled rant about how unfair this is.. Oh! You guys almost got me! Close, but no. Great trolling though.
So who would you pick?

Veronica, hands down. I love her and if I ever have a daughter, her name will be Veronica!
August 21, 2009 at 1:14 pm |
Hells yea, shes smokin hot too! Will your daughter be a Ronnie or a Vee?
August 21, 2009 at 1:40 pm |
That’s the only thing that would stop me from naming my kid Veronica is the shortening to Ronnie. I hate that!
Probably “Verona” or “Veroni” or something. Acceptable!

Yeah Ronnie is a shocking nickname. Verona sounds nice tho!

I usually don’t prefer blondes, but it has to be Betty. She plays video games, is smart and has respectable taste in music.
Then again, Veronica is very rich.

There was a bloke who wrote about this one a while back, in the context of would you choose the good girl or the ‘bad’ girl. He aruged the modern version of Betty vs. Veronica was Jennifer vs. Angelina.

Whoops, it was actually about Ginger vs. Mary-Ann from Gilligan’s Island, but the theme was the same. I might as well include the url at this point, it’s pretty well-written.

CJ – She’s also a writer and social activist. She deserves better than Archie anyway, he doesn’t even see how awesome she is.
Marty – Yeah there’s definitely similar vibes with Maryanne/Ginger and Jen/Angelina. But its weird in this case (and in Angelinas) that the guy married the sexy one instead of the homely one. Maybe good girls just don’t ever win?!

I don’t think Archie’s good enough for Veronica.
Him and Betty should get together and start poppin’ out the trailer trashlings, and leave Veronica to just kinda whore about on daddy’s trust fund.
And there should be a B plot in there where Reggie thinks he’s gotten drunk and had a Vegas marriage with Veronica, but it turns out to be Jughead in a wig.

Veronica is hot!
August 26, 2009 at 5:15 pm |
Gully – Good plan, she could even match Reggie, he wasn’t so bad was he? She was defs better than Archie, he wasn’t of her social calibre 😛
Wah – Oh yeahhh shes nice!

September 6, 2009 at 3:04 pm |
Lol! Before your time young one 🙂
