The reason why I thought Taylor was just using TJ for clout and money was that I just could not fathom anyone standing that mess of a person without some ulterior motive. But as things went on I thought they were cute together. I'm disapointed it ended like this. But I don't know what else to expect from anyone adjacent to Sam Hyde at this point.
While I kind of agree that she's way above his league, at least that's my feeling as a dude, I'm not really drawn to this very cynical idea of women as ruthless money chasers. Certainly nothing about Taylor strikes me that way.
I think they were almost certainly affected by the setting in which they met. Imagine two awkward twenty-somethings meeting on a live-streamed reality show, sharing their first kiss under encouragement from TTS, while thousands of viewers cheer them on. The whole scenario has the whiff of a fairy tale romance, and I imagine TJ and Taylor were probably just as caught up in the narrative surrounding them as the viewers were.
But the reality of a relationship outside the show is obviously something else entirely, and it might just not have worked out. In fact, it's possible that the only reason they stuck together for even as long as they did was exactly that pressure of being known as the 'Fishtank sweethearts' by an entire community that was rooting for them and expecting them to stay a couple.
All speculation, of course, but really, we should treat Lovetank with some skepticism.
