Get ready for a deep dive into the not-so-charming world of Jeremiah Fisher, the not-so-innocent villain of the Amazon Prime series, "The Summer I Turned Pretty." Let's rank the top five worst things this seemingly spoiled boy does, and trust me, it's a doozy!
Breaking Up Before Spring Break: The Cabo Catastrophe
In a move that's anything but romantic, Jeremiah breaks up with Belly right before his spring break trip to Cabo. But here's the kicker: he doesn't even tell her about the trip! Imagine finding out your boyfriend is jetting off to Mexico while you're left in the dark. And to add insult to injury, he picks a fight with her when she discovers the truth, unloading all his daddy issues and leaving her heartbroken. When he returns, he tries to win her back with a puka shell bracelet - seriously?! This whole Cabo debacle is a perfect storm of mean-spiritedness and immaturity.
Wedding Woes: Cake Drama and Unilateral Decisions
Jeremiah's lack of consideration for Belly's feelings continues as they plan their wedding (yes, you read that right). He spends all his time in Boston, working for his dad, leaving Belly to handle the wedding planning solo. And when it comes to the wedding cake, he makes a huge fuss, insisting on an extravagant cake that Belly can't afford. After solving some work-related issue, Jeremiah becomes the golden boy, and his dad offers to pay for the wedding at his country club - without even consulting Belly! Jeremiah agrees to this massive change without a second thought, leaving Belly feeling let down and disappointed. Talk about a recipe for disaster!
Fireworks Fiasco: Interrupting a Momentous Moment
In a classic case of sibling rivalry, Jeremiah sets off fireworks to interrupt Belly and Conrad's first kiss. This is not only bratty and petulant but also incredibly selfish. He knows Belly has feelings for Conrad, yet he can't resist trying to claim her for himself. And to make matters worse, he makes his move on Belly in the very next episode, leaving us wondering if his feelings are genuine or just a ploy to one-up his brother. This fireworks fiasco is a clear demonstration of Jeremiah's immaturity and lack of respect for others' feelings.
Spontaneous Proposal: A Recipe for Embarrassment
Jeremiah's proposal to Belly is a disaster waiting to happen. He pops the question while they're broken up and before she even turns 21! Outside the hospital, without getting down on one knee, he asks her to marry him. And if that's not embarrassing enough, the ring he presents to her is the tiniest, most dinky ring imaginable. When they announce their engagement, the naysayers can barely see the ring! This proposal is a perfect example of Jeremiah's impulsive and thoughtless behavior, leaving both him and Belly in an awkward and uncomfortable situation.
Cheating in Cabo: The Ultimate Betrayal
Remember that spring break trip to Cabo? Well, Jeremiah uses this opportunity to cheat on Belly with Lacie Barone, a gossipy sorority sister of Belly's best friend, Taylor. And to make matters worse, he doesn't even have the decency to tell Belly about his indiscretion. She finds out when she overhears Lacie bragging about their hookup at a party. Belly is understandably crushed and furious, and the ripple effect of Jeremiah's cheating reaches even Conrad, who confronts a drunken Belly on the beach. Jeremiah's cheating not only ruins his relationship with Belly but also causes a chain reaction of betrayals and heartache for everyone involved.
So, there you have it - the top five worst things Jeremiah Fisher does in "The Summer I Turned Pretty." While he may have redeemed himself by the end of the series, these actions are definitely not forgivable. What do you think? Do you agree with this ranking?
