Well, this is YOUR opinion. Many Gizzie fans don't feel the same way you do. The way I see it, Izzie always loved george, from day 1, they had a connection and his opiniona dn his presence in her life always meant more than anything to her. Izzie always believed in George, trusted him and saw the greatness in him when nobody did. When Meredith would not notice him, Izzie would notice how he let his hair grow out, if he put a new shirt in and everything about him. She noticed him. When there was the thing with Mer, she unconditionnally took his side no questions asked, she went to war with Mer because Mer had hurt him and she hated that.
There was always this love, this bond, this connection with them and George was not only Izzie's best friend, he was her person.
UIt was obvious when she spent a whole conversattion with Denny talking about him.
Izzie wasn,t angry at George for not telling her he married Callie, she was genuinely worried that, being half-craxy with grief, he had

Another this show is about people with relationship issues and they all have relationship issue specially george, izzie, meredith, cristina and Alex they all have issue and they need to deal with it like adults not with sleepin with their best friend it doesn't solved anything. Anyways george need someone more like him and izzie is not like him when it comes to relationships. Gizzie fans need a little perspetive is a show and one day is going to be over. they need new charaters people from outside the damn hospital.

Let me tell you all something about Izzie and George. 1st Izzie slept with George last season because he married Callie and she never liked Callie and she thought she was losing her best friend. Izzie is a selfish person when it comes to George and when they were best friend she used to treat him like a child. 2nd the other reason they had sex last season (that was the only thing they did really )she was piss cuz george didn't tell her that he got married. The point is that what happen between george and izzie wasn't love it was control. Meaning Izzie couln't stand the fact that george was growing up without consulting her.

The TWOP mod are strict. Are you kidding me? When I posted on TWOP, I kept receiving PMs from Gizzie haters trying to chase me from the site, telling me my opinions were not welcome here, that they were serious fans and they didn't want some twit like me, those PMS were non-stop harassing me. I sent them to the mod and she gave a very general warning that BOTH sides should respect each other, she didn't even warn those people, I had to leave the show.
And to be honest, LOL, that is not honesty, that is your opinion.
Do you also know that Katie said that even though she hated how Gizzie got together and felt it was done for shock and ratings, that she also believed in Izzie and George, that when she saw them together, she kept thinking that is why they should be together because there is such pure joy for Izzie to be around him.
Do you also know that George said that he thought Izzie and george were always meant to happen one day or the other because they had that connection together

The ABC Panel, Mer/Der fans, Alex/Izzie fans, TWOP, the ABC boards, Kristin from E!, Michael Aussiello, ABC, angry fans, spamers, editors, Shonda Rhimes, the writers...everyone's to blame for GIZZIE falling apart, but truth of the matter is, this is Shonda's show and she'll run it the way she wants to. And for fans pointing a finger, right back at you. I have been on the GA boards since this show started and when the GIZZIE fans started up in S3 in mass, the blame games and anger began. This is not a show run by fans. The net represents a very small part of the 19 million plus viewers who watch it. Truth of the matter is, even Heigl called it a "ratings ploy" this season. TR Knight in a recent interview said "George should be SINGLE for awhile as well. It's a tv show. These are two amazing actors and to be honest, both George and Izzie were at their worst together. Both selfish and uncaring and from the George character in particular, that was disturbing. I want the old Georg

Reading all the posts, I think, are there any GreysAntomy fans. I mean SERIOUSLY!!!!! have a bit of loyalty to the awesome writers that have kept the show interesting, on edge, real and not like very other show on tv. Personally, I can't wait to see what unfolds. New drama on the horizon, I can't wait.

And this is new how? We saw them break up months ago, TR and Katie said they were over. Assiello is always the last to know things and then he pretends he knows it all. They died in march, LOL, they died much before.
But then being dead for now does not mean they are dead for good. We are only in season 4, and we have many other seasons to go.
I admit I have pretty much not watched the show at all since Gizzie started having their problems, they are why I watch.
It does not mean I will give up on them and stop fighting for them, far from it.
I am in it for the long haul with them.
Gizzie love forever!

If there is a God, george and Izzie will be together one day where they belong.
I feel better than yesterday. I got mad, then remembered we knew they were over. being over for now does not mean they will always be. The show is far from over and I intend on reminding Shonda all the time that those two are soulmates and belong together.
Like Jessie said, I plan on fighting for those two. Giving up would just be letting the haters and the likes of Assiello win, and I won't do that.
Those two belong together and I won't give up that easily
Gizzie forever and ever

Twinpower, you can post once you know, no need to post twice to make it seem like more people share your POV, LOL.
I expected this news, it makes me sad, furious, bitter, heartbroken, but in no way defeated.
Nothing is ever easy for any couple on this soap, so I intend to fight for this couple until the very end.
They are so right for each other, it would be a crime for them not to end up together.
They are the one couple who is as good as doing angst and pining as doing funny, fluffy couple scenes. TR and Katie can do it all, and George and Izzie have all kinds of chemistry: romantic, sexual, comedic, lovable.
They are so so so perfect for each other.
Oh and I could watch their kiss and their love scene a hundred million times, in fact I have, so hot, so tender, so sweet.
I am NEVER giving up on them, Gizzie hope never dies.

Yes MerDer don't interest me much, they lack a certain it quality. But I know they have a lot of fans, and I am happy they are getting their wish.
As for Gizzie, this fan is not going anywhere. I was talking to my friends who watch the show. They don,t post on the Net, like the majority of the fanbase doesn't, and they did not know anything about Assiello the ass, so I told them. And they said we need to stick around for Gizzie, because if we don't, then we are letting the haters win.
Shonda will think there are only haters and will forget about Gizzie and we cannot let that happen.
So I plan on sticking around and reminding Shonda all the time how many of us love those two together and want nothing more than them together.
We had the same discussion over at TV-com with saying we need to stick around and fight for our wonderful couple.
George and Izzie are special, they have this innocence and loveliness to them despite the circumtances of how they got together. When I h

MerDer is about the most boring couple on Earth, all they do is have sex. They are not even friends, they don,t even like each other, which is why they keep breaking up. They have great sex and that is it. George and Izzie have the real deal, they like each other, they are friends and they are in love, they have the whole package, plus they have by far the best chemistry on the show, romantic and friendship.
I want George and Izzie together and intend to yell about it until I get what I want.
Heck, the MerDer fans whined for months like little babies and it got them what they want, so I am planning to do the same.
And I aam pretty perseverent when I want something and I want Gizzie more than anything.

Well, it depends on where you ask. On Team Sugar, 72% OF PEOPLE SAID gIZZIE SHOULD BE A COUPLE. On BuddyTV, George and Izzie won favorite couple in the 4 couple showdown. Alex and Izzie won most hated couple, MerDer and Gizzie were second (yes, the supposedly so popular MerDer) but they were 14% behind Alex and Izzie, who won most hated couple by a landslide. On Tv-com, 56% of people said Gizzie should be together. On Fanpop, 60% said Gizzie in love was a good thing and 51% said Gizzie being together was not a mistake in the most popular vote on the site ((Fanpop's Grey site has almost 5000 fans). 61% of people said they did NOT want Alex and Izzie together. And George was voted as the guy people most wanted Izzie with. On an Australian poll, 59% of people wanted Gizzie together. I guess it depends on what sites you go to, on ABC and TWOP, Gizzie would not win polls but on sites like BuddyTV, Tv-com, fanforum, Fanpop, they would because they have a majority of fans there. On voote-com,

Funny because I thought George and Izzie's romantic chemistry was the only one that didn't seem fake or forced. Now Lexziepuke aka the horror that is Alex and Izzie always came out as seriously fake and forced to me. I always had the impression they were posing for the camera, going see we're hot, we're hot, and I always remembered it was Justin and Katie playing the roles. With George and Izzie, I often forget those are two actors and totally buy those are two people completely in love. Not sure how anyone could not see romantic chemistry in that elevator kiss, to each their own, but that scene was sizzling with chemistry.
Some people have a different idea of chemistry, I guess.
Oh the haters would love for the Gizzie fans to just shut up and leave. Bad news: we are not going anywhere.
We love this couple and we will fight for them till the very bitter end.
And if you don't like it, that is your problem.
Hey, I never got MerDer and their appeal but I didn't go thank God

March 20th, 2008 8:15 AM
Wow, I don't think there was THIS much of an uproar when MerDer split. I must say, though, the Gizzie haters could be just a tad bit more compassionate about this instead of rubbing it in the lovers' faces. That's pretty rude.
Hmm, not what's this about George not being hot enough for Izzie? Shallow Hal much?
This'll sound hypocritical now, but I find George to be very attractive (alright, I'd jump his hot ass if I had the chance).
As for them having "no chemistry", I find that to be a total load of horse dung. They have a lot of chemistry as friends and lovers. I think so, anyway.
What really drew me into their love story was that kiss they shared at the end of season three. The one in the elevator. It was so real and passionate. Superb acting, but it was the most real thing I had ever seen on the show. And if you see the way they look at each other. Not that "Hey, McDreamy, let's go have a quickie in the on-call room" look you get between Meredith and McDreamy

Annoyed, a lot of Gizzie fans have stopped watching, have you not read the posts where they said they ahd stopped or are you not smart enough to have even the basic reading and comprehension skills.
I know many Gizzie fans said if Gizzie ended they would leave and I have not seen them around since, a lot of Gizzie fans have completely given up on the show, because they knew Shonda has never seen us and never will.
Some Gizzie fans will stick around though and fight for Gizzie until the evry last episode, and since Gizzie has a very large fanbase, expect us to be in your faces for a very long time to come.
So now you know what the majority of the millions of people who watch the show feel like? Get oevr yourself, the few hundreds of people max you know on the Net do not represent the majority of the fanbase and if you had any intelligence, you would know that.
Look at the ratings after episode 8, when it was obvious Gizzie was ending, look at the ratings ater that episode, t

I wish the Gizzie shippers who say they are going are going to stop watching the show would actually stop watching. Many of you have been saying that for such a long time yet you continue to watch and post over and over complaining about the show and how you'll stop watching.
Face it, Gizzie and Gizzie shippers won't be missed by the majority of people. So please, for once do what you actually say you'll do - STOP WATCHING!
