Okay, let's be real. A second season of 10 Things I Hate About You, the TV show, never actually happened. But, what if it DID? Let's dive into a purely hypothetical (and hilarious) list of "things we'd hate" about a season two, if one existed.
1. New Crush Alert (Maybe?)
Imagine Kat Stratford suddenly developing a soft spot for someone *other* than Patrick Verona. Blasphemy, right? But what if it was a super-charming exchange student who challenged her beliefs?
We’d secretly hate the distraction but also be glued to our screens to see if Patrick could handle the competition. The jealousy would be palpable, folks.
2. Bianca's Identity Crisis
Now that she's "got the guy," what's Bianca's deal? Would she suddenly become super intellectual to impress Joey? Or maybe rebel against her newfound "popularity" and become a goth?
Either way, we'd cringe at her trying too hard, but also kind of root for her to find her authentic self. Plus, a goth Bianca would be visually stunning.
3. Cameron's "Glow-Up" Gone Wrong
Poor Cameron. He finally won over Chastity, but what if Season 2 saw him trying *too* hard to be cool? Think embarrassing fashion choices and trying to speak "teen" slang.
It would be painful to watch, but also a reminder of how much we loved him for just being himself. Stay true to you, Cameron!
4. The Musical Episode That Wasn't (Thank Goodness)
Picture this: Suddenly, everyone's bursting into song. A random musical episode? No, thank you. Let's stick to the witty dialogue, please.
We'd "hate" it because, well, it just wouldn't fit the show's vibe. Some things are sacred!
5. Over-the-Top Drama
The first season had its fair share of teenage angst. But what if Season 2 went full soap opera? Think secret siblings, amnesia, and dramatic cliffhangers.
It would feel forced and betray the original's grounded (ish) charm. Less drama, more witty banter, please.
6. Mr. Stratford's Dating Life Gets Weird
Okay, we love Mr. Stratford's quirky parenting style, but do we really need to see him navigating the dating scene? Probably not.
The awkward dates and overprotective dad moments would be a little too much. Some things are better left unseen.
7. Joey Becomes... Nice?
Imagine the unthinkable: Joey suddenly develops a conscience. He starts volunteering, donating to charity, and genuinely cares about Bianca's feelings.
While morally good, it would completely ruin his character! We need Joey's comedic, self-absorbed antics. Keep him awful, for goodness sake!
8. Patrick's Secret Past Revealed
What if Season 2 revealed some dark secret about Patrick's past? Maybe he was a child prodigy concert pianist who ran away to become a rebel?
It could be interesting, but also potentially ruin his mysterious allure. Some secrets are better left unsaid.
9. The "Very Special Episode"
Every teen show eventually tackles a "very special episode" about a serious issue. But would it fit with 10 Things?
It might feel out of place and heavy-handed. We'd secretly hope they'd stick to the lighter side of high school life.
10. The Series Finale (That Never Happened)
Ultimately, we'd "hate" saying goodbye. Imagining the final episode, knowing it would be the end of this (imaginary) chapter, would be bittersweet.
Would everyone get their happy ending? Would there be a tearful montage? The thought alone is enough to make us reach for the tissues. But let's be honest, some stories are perfect just as they are, even if they're incomplete.
