Transcript

I feel like the search with the Rory versus Ellis situation is that anyone who is team Rory is maybe like 25 and over. Cuz for me, I've like gone through life and I'm like, I do not want the like quiet brooding boy who like does not tell me how he feels and I literally have to be like, I feel like you hate me. No, like Rory is emotionally intelligent. He expresses his feelings, so to me it's like an obvious choice. But I do feel like if I was like a 17-year-old watching this show, I would be like, oh my god, like Ellis is so mysterious. But now I'm like, no, like tell me to my face that you like me and you want to see me again and you're excited. Like, I don't know. Maybe I'm just old. Maybe I'm just washed up at 28.

Not that ellis is a bad choice at all but personally the person who is emotionally vulnerable and talks about how he feels is the obvious choice #sterlingpoint #teamrory #sterlingpointedit
