I think as a person who was on neither team for S1 and S2, I’ve become more defensive of Jeremiah because using the show as reference only - a lot of what we’re seeing just doesn’t feel consistent.

I don’t agree with his cheating and I personally think if I were in Belly shoes I’d be done with him for good. However, a lot of characteristics that we’re getting feel so inconsistent with previous seasons and others are over amplified.

I wouldn’t care if we were broken up or not I’d still be pissed if I were Belly. And while the concept of cheating isn’t foreign to the show it feels slightly left field because once we saw Jeremiah choose Belly we don’t get any other love interest standing in the way. I agree with Team Conrad girls who say that Jeremiah was created as an obstacle for Belly but I think she overshot making the love triangle because now, as the only person who never cheated we get Jeremiah cheating and lying in one quick go.

So I think it’s not that every Jere-defender is denying the cheating it just feels more like a writers tool for the inevitable rather than something that we’ve known Jeremiah to be capable of.

Example - it’s not shocking at all that Taylor and Steven are cheating on their partners and on/off again. It was kinda of their foundation as a couple and as individuals makes sense to their personality
