Okay, let's talk This Is Us. Specifically, *Kate*.
Remember that flash-forward where she's getting remarried? Cue the collective gasp. But who is she marrying?!
The Obvious Choice: Toby
Let's be real. Most people probably think it's *Toby*. They have so much history.
They went through everything together, good times and bad. He is definitely her most well-known partner.
But…are we really buying it?
My Unpopular Opinion: It Shouldn’t Be Toby
I know, I know! Hear me out. This Is Us loves to throw curveballs.
And honestly? Sometimes Toby and Kate felt… forced. Like a sitcom couple.
Their relationship was tumultuous, to put it mildly, and sometimes felt like two nice people simply trying too hard.
Exhibit A: Phillip
Enter Phillip. The grumpy music teacher.
I'll admit, I didn't see it coming at first. He seemed like such a jerk!
But, he grew on me. Underneath that rough exterior, he cares deeply for Kate.
They bicker, yes, but there's also a spark. A real, undeniable spark.
The Case For Phillip (Hear Me Out!)
He challenges her. Phillip doesn't let Kate get away with anything.
Sometimes, that's exactly what you need. Someone to push you and hold you accountable.
Plus, let's be honest, the actor playing Phillip is charming as heck. Is that relevant? Maybe. Probably.
Think about it: Kate has always been defined by her relationship, and sometimes by her weight. Phillip sees *her*.
What About Miguel? (Just Kidding…Mostly)
Okay, okay, nobody actually thinks it's Miguel. That would be… weird.
But This Is Us has surprised us before. So, everything is possible!
Let's move on, because the odds are slim to none.
Other Possibilities (Wild Card Round!)
Could it be someone completely new? A long-lost love from summer camp? A handsome stranger she meets at a weight loss support group?
The possibilities are endless! But honestly, it feels like they've invested too much in Phillip for it to be someone completely out of left field.
Never say never. The show is very capable of surprises.
The Verdict?
Look, I'm not saying *Toby* is a bad guy. He's genuinely a good person.
But I think *Kate* deserves someone who truly sees her for who she is, flaws and all. Someone who challenges her, pushes her, and loves her fiercely.
And right now, that person seems to be Phillip.
So, my (unpopular) prediction? Kate is marrying Phillip. And I'm weirdly okay with it.
Don't hate me! What do *you* think?
