I think it's a nice change of pace from Season 6, but I miss CJ a lot. I didn't like her too much in the beginning because her personality is quite strong, but she's grown on me and her chemistry with Mordecai is just fabulous. She was really good for him. He even seemed happier with her than he was with Margaret.

I was never a Margaret fan - her personality's too flat. Can anyone name one negative Margaret trait? I can't think of anything. And that's just it - we're all 3D because we have good and bad traits/habits. Margaret's just ... nice. It's pretty obvious they've been trying to flesh her out more since Season 6, but truth is, she'll never ride motorcycles, or come up with creative surprises, or worst of all - make actually funny jokes.

If you notice, everything about Margaret and CJ is different, even their context to Mordecai. Margaret is also a bird, making her seem aesthetically more compatible with Mordecai, so it's easy to naturally want to root for her. But CJ's not afraid to "challenge" her dates, introduces Mordecai to new experiences, and never has one dull moment. In fact, she and Mordecai have infinitely more fantasy adventures together, and she saves his @ss on many occasions. So their relationship has always felt more real with a strong connection, even though they look so different from each other on the outside.

When they finally conclude on this show, I hope they do the triangle justice - either go with what feels real, or have Mordecai not choose either. It would be a huge shame if he ends up with Margaret because they simply have nothing in common that will keep them properly together in the long-term. Honestly, I personally think that the reason that RS fans prefer Margaret is because she's Mordecai's "opposite", and she seems "fun". Honestly? I don't think she'd be good for Mordecai BECAUSE she's his opposite. See, in that episode where Mordecai had to take Margaret to the airport (I forgot what it was called), when Mordecai and Margaret were getting chased by the Wickets, Margaret started panicing and threatened to call the cops on Mordecai-- she may have spent a lot of time with him and his crazy adventures, but she's not really used to them-- in fact, she's FRIGHTENED by them, and at some point, it might drive her crazy and/or make her not want to spend any more time with Mordecai anymore so she doesn't have to go through almost getting killed.

CJ, on the other hand, seemed like she was okay with Mordecai's crazy adventures, and was willing to go through them with him together. She saved his birdy booty, and accepted everything she had to go through with him, without wanting to call the cops on Mordecai or whatever.

THAT'S a real relationship, and THAT'S true love-- overcoming any obstical with someone, no matter how big or how small.

I don't mind shipping opposites, but Margaret is the opposite in a BAD way-- she has no character. She has good traits, but she doesn't have any bad traits, unless you count being bland and unfunny negative traits. Though, I'll only count "unfunny" as a negative trait when the show starts TREATING it like one-- and by that, I mean, it'd be kinda cool to see a time where she tries to crack a joke or something, and nobody laughs, or just find it awkward, and she's like "eh? eh? get it? no? ah, forget it." or something like that... you know, like... it's treated like an awkward moment.

I mean, she's beautiful, nice, portrayed as sexy, loved by many, has a nice job, a famous dad, took karate lessons, ect... basically, she's perfect. Heck, even though (in my opinion), she doesn't seem "too bright", the characters treat her as if she's intelligent. Okay, point is, Margaret doesn't have much flaws. She has NEVER seemed to have a moment where she was awkward, other than the time where she (horribly) spoke Spanish-- and before you ask why I said "horribly", it's cause I was raised by a Puerto Rican family who speaks fluent Spanish, and she pronounced "Que interasante" wrong. Ahem, otherwise, that's the only moment in history where she's done something awkward, and shared a "flawful" moment.

CJ has a flaw that is major. She has anger issues, and she's easily jealous. People dislike her because of that, other than her being Margaret's replacement. Even some people in the show is afraid of her for that. She has tried to control her anger a few times, which is great. She also has good traits, such as being funny, badass, knowing how to ride a motorcycle, being good at games, ect. She has a character. She has a personality.

Either way, I prefer CJ for Mordecai, cause she's just a better character, and she's better for him. She has more in common with Mordecai, and treats him right.

I would go on about why CJ's better but eh...

anyways, that's just my opinion. A few months ago you really couldn't ship anyone and now you can. See how time can help you forget all those fights? Now you have regained your opinion
