Rory's nightmare comes true

It's crazy that she got the privilege yet can't understand a simple thing like "stop being too entitled" can't she be more open minded she's a smart person should have just find other jobs that suits her skills better

God I wish I had Rory's money

I have never seen a single episode of Gilmore Girls but keep getting these videos recommended and I find myself drawn to them. No idea why

Rory Gilmore is so privileged i mean she got like 3 trust funds from her great grandmother, her grandparents and then Christopher too and you cant convince me to sympathise with a character who has so much to fall back on and they're still fumbling throughout the series with this "struggle" that they want to follow a specific path Which is obviously not working out for them but they consider everything else beneath it and reject multiple incredible opportunities.. but apparently we're supposed to feel bad for their "struggles"

I am really obsessed with her ,i like her pretty educated privilege

“What bathroom do you go throw up in?” lol 😂

It’s so odd that the Chilton headmaster doesn’t see getting a PhD as admirable. He and Rory do not see it as the “real world,” when everyone I’ve talked to who has gotten a PhD talks about how difficult it is. It certainly isn’t an easy way out.

Personally, I could have seen Rory as a professor. Her research skills from investigative journalism would come in handy.

I'm glad they made her human !

She should never have gone to the fancy school in the first place. Should have never been a snob about education. Her mother should never have made her grandparents pay for time together. They should have just had time together from the start. And the writers should not have made the show decidedly woke. Why is the entertainment world insistent on make young Americans feel there is something wrong with them? That there is something they are grappling with they have to figure out? She was 5 going on 35 because of her mother being a child perpetually her entire life and someone had to be the grown up. She is just tired of being a grown up.

Rorys story is one of trying to achieve something she thought she wanted bc ahe wanted to be like her mother. Independent. And making it on her own, even raising a kid on your own. Bc her mother did the same. But shes not like her mother and doesnt have the grit like her mother. Shes an Emily. And its OKAY, to be an Emily. Its okay to do well organizing DARs, doing charity work, and making parties. But she didnt want to bc she felt she NEEDED to be like her mother. I just wish Lorelai told her its okay.

Good for Loreali she deserves a vacation

My favorite line in the series came from Paris: "You look like little birds help you get dressed."

This is Rory's blessing and curse. Everyone wanted to like and root for her, but that made her very soft and spoiled.

So glad so many now are seeing Rory for who she truly is. It's only with an adult's mind that you start to realize Logan's father was right about her. She was once again offered something most would only dream of being offered(a teaching job at an ivy league private school) and scuffs at it like it's beneath her. Rory's problem is that she always thought she was meant for greater things, when in reality it takes more than just being academically smart to succeed in life; Logan's father tried warning her and she titled him as a bully.

Haven’t finished season 6 or season 7 of Gilmore girls, but this plot in the revival series just further scares me as a young adult myself. Rory was insanely smart, & she still ended up where she is now. She has no place of her own and is left babysitting Paris’s kids. She’s left still talking about the possibilities of what could’ve been her future. Im not like a valedictorian or super smart as Rory, but I feel like college and life will eat me alive if I dont figure out plan a to plan z.

She should have become a food journalist and eat around the world.

really annoying program

Me2 =/

The only way the revival would work is with a follow up series, opening with Rory travelling around with her daughter, not speaking anymore with Lorelai (after the rift the cheat pregnancy caused). Basically Rory's version of her own upbringing, trying to right her wrongs (with Lorelai becoming a softer version of Emily)!

Rory is an idiot who never grew up

Life doesn’t always go the way you planned. I was glad she was kinda screwed up later in life lol. Realistically it made sense.

The problem is that Rory adopted her spending habits from Logan and Lorelei. If Rory had a clue about investing like Richard and most wealthy people, she would've been able to make her trust fund last and even expand it. But she probably wasted it all on rent, restaurants, expenses, etc. Lorelei was never financially literate but she had a goal (the inn) and reached it by saving money which allowed her to be successful. Someone like Luke created wealth by never spending money on anything and owning properties (collecting rent). Rory was throwing money down the drain like Logan and Lorelei but without any dreams/goals/ or backup plans. What a waste. It shows that her head was truly in the clouds. This is why it's not all about being rich/wealthy. If you are stupid, you could have a million dollars and still end up poor!! Only verrrrry few people have so much money that it's actually worthless. Even if Logan didn't step up and help his dad's company, their wealth would have decreased significantly eventually. Rory was truly meant to be a housewife or at least not have had so many people lie to her face about journalism.

This is a tough one....I used to be vehemently on the side of she should have gone back to teach at Chilton...but now that I think about it...that is still being handed to her so I don't actually think she would have learned what she needed to if she did that....she needed to reach a point where she had to start at the bottom again and work her way up...she needed to be more humble and build her confidence to a place where she didn't need or even want to rely on her multiple layers of safety netting...Lorelai....Emily....Paris... Where it would truly be sink or swim....I think that is was Palladino was driving her towards by having her get pregnant at the end...she obviously couldn't do it for herself so she would have to do it for her child.

I don’t see Rory rebounding. She’s like a child prodigy. Everyone’s there for you and impressed by your talent in youth but the older you get the less people care. Then you’re left with early burn out and abandoned by your fans. You lose faith in yourself and you don’t get it back.

what's with the stairs?

Nobody deserves to be cut out by their own mother. When they're troubled and simply need love and support. That's what Rory needed, and estrangement with no way of contact is emotional abuse. LORELAI is trash and irredeemable for her actions and she is having her cake and eating it too by expecting Rory not to go to her grandparents. Idiotic.

Lorelei flies across the country to backpack the PCT to “find herself” or whatever and she won’t be able to contact Rory because she won’t be near cell towers in the middle of the woods, a strong parallel to dream Lorelei flying to Hawaii and not being able to talk to Rory.

Rory's intellect would have been enough, she wouldn't have needed to go out and do amazing things with her life. BUT she grew up being told SHE was going to do all the amazing things Lorelei didn't get to do.

Feeling bad for her is really difficult.

She looks so adorable with bangs. I wish she had kept them.

Jonathan like a boss here

To be honest, I think being part of the DAR and a trophy wife would suit Rory the best lol she made it seem like she hated the DAR job but she was good at it... I think admin jobs would really work for her, but yes, like what others have said, definitely not a journalist. Rory grew up with a silver spoon and is very proud of herself despite being quite mediocre 😂 she’s also pretty which comes with privileges

Actually I don’t even believe she entered Yale like this— we didn’t see her studying that much, instead her relationships with others and her two lovers before uni. Of course its for show drama, but Its not realistic to being accepted to Yale like this, maybe also because of their family who studied in Yale ,she got accepted.

I don't think people hate Rory because of her downfall. They begin to hate her in the later seasons because she acts like her entitlement and privilege don't exist, and yet thinks she's owed certain things, like validation. I also think people (myself included) don't like her because of the writers. The writers just did a really bad job with her after season 3 and in the revival. It didn't feel like Rory. While a lot of people in her position do end up finding themselves in a rut, this is just poor writing. People could accept Rory's downfall if it was written better, and it was used to fuel her life in other ways, but it wasn't.

I honestly think the whole storyline for rory gilmore would be totally different if she would go to Harvard. She would learn how to live a life just being on her own - no mommy's girl, not having grandparents luxury and distance from her town just figuring out her life by the challenges and ups and downs. I think it would make her strong, build self confidence and so on. Yale wasn't that far away from stars hollow so should could just come and go.

Rory is the example of many smart children out there and how they aren't too successful which i find refreshing. But i disagree that Rory wasn't driven. When given a task, Rory excels at it. We saw this when she planned that party for Emily. When Rory wants to socialize, she's great at it. But the problem is that Rory simply doesn't care about anything other than getting into Harvard and reading. Unless she's told to do something, she will never actually do it. She's a simple girl. She's like a ball of potential that can only be unlocked or used with a key. Even when Rory was offered a chance to write some speech at Chilton she wasn't going to because it wasn't required until Lorelei encouraged her. Love or hate Rory, i find her very relatable. A lot of us have something holding us back in life.

Everyone has their own view of what led to her downfall but i think it's rooted in her daddy issues which really surfaced in her boyfriend choices...also with her family name, money and looks i think if we saw a continuation of the series then she'd actually end up successful in the end

If my young self saw this she would’ve gave hell to me 😭

Man they assassinated Rory’s character.

Chilton was the mistake. She could have gotten into an Ivy league without Chilton. It came into her life at a very critical stage and so did her rich grand parents

i feel like this all the time

Why is a year in the life so depressing

Someone offered her a job and she said no 😭😭😭

I feel like she should have done a PhD and become a university professor

If you think you can measure a person's value based on their work situation, then your own value will drop significantly.
Disgusting people here

I really don’t remember this lol

if rory had acknowledged she was going through a bad patch and her situation wasn’t ideal she would have been able to take opportunities and get back on her feet; it’s her denial that anything is wrong and her insistence on not settling for anything other than perfection and immediate success straight off that is really the problem

Hate that Rory gets tagged with "gifted kid" when she's so obviously not. Gifted kids have a specific set of qualities unique to them (there's a cool table on google contrasting smart and gifted). If anything, I'd say Paris is properly gifted. Rory's just smart.

It's so ridiculous when people talk of Rory's "downfall"😆 We all have crises like this in our life and we grow through them. she is still very young at the end of the series and there can be so much ahead for her still. Who has it all figured out by the time they are 30? (which is super young)
