Maak er wat mij betreft een Rachel-Kurt-Puck-Santana-Sam-Quinn-Mike show van

Neenee, er is wel een rest, maar alles draait verder om haar. 42 minuten vol met Santana-bitchyness.

Nu heb je hem door! Rachel mag er sowieso uit, die is onder d'r koffertje gevallen en gestorven door het gewicht van d'r ego dat ze meezeult.

Total direct conversation between couples during season 3:

Tike: 2 minutes and 35 seconds in 5 episodes
Brittana: 5 minutes and 11 seconds in 8 episodes
Samcedes: 5 minutes and 17 seconds in 9 episodes
Klaine: 20 minutes and 17 seconds in 15 episodes
Finchel: 33 minutes and 51 seconds in 19 episodes
Tike/Brittana/Samcedes/Klaine combined: 33 minutes and 20 seconds

Number of (lip-to-lip) kisses during season 3:

Tike: 3 in 3 episodes
Brittana: 3 in 2 episodes
Samcedes: 2 in 2 episodes
Klaine: 2 in 1 episode
Finchel: 18 in 8 episodes, 5 make-outs in 4 episodes

My criteria while I was clocking conversations:

I started the clock when the couple began speaking and stopped it when they stopped, not when the scene began/ended, which shaved some seconds off
Only dialogue was counted; physical contact and sexy glancing were only included in the time if it happened during the conversation. Kisses were not
Speaking only - no singing, no texting
Only speaking directly to one another - general comments directed toward a group that happened to include a character’s partner were not counted
One-liners directed at their partner still counted even if they were responding to a general statement or received no reply
No fantasy sequences; this means Mike’s vision of Tina in “Asian F” wasn’t counted, nor were any of the swapped scenes in “Props”

Of course a margin of error exists. It’s possible I missed some things while I was fastforwarding over Schue. And of course these numbers don’t reflect how much casual physical intimacy each couple was allowed to display, how many romantic songs they sang to each other or together, the content of their conversations, how often they spoke to other people about their relationships, or the quality of their story lines. Regardless, I think this illustrates one of the major problems with this season.

Other stray observations:

If Mike’s fantasy of Tina in “Asian F” were included, they still wouldn’t have broken 3 minutes
Finn and Santana spoke to each other for 2 minutes and 22 seconds in “I Kissed a Girl.” Brittana didn’t speak at all
Klaine spoke to each other for 7 seconds in “Michael.” Blaine spent 53 seconds talking to Finn and Rachel about his upcoming eye surgery and missing Michael week
10 minutes and 45 seconds of Klaine’s total conversation happened during “The First Time” and “Dance With Somebody”
Brittana spoke to each other for 21 seconds in “Heart”
Tina spent 3 minutes and 6 seconds lauding Rachel in “Props”
The last line of dialogue Tike shared directly was, “I’m really disappointed in you.”
Bless Jenna and Harry’s dedication to background acting, as it is clearly 80% of the reason why I ship Tike so hard
Samcedes is one of the few things this season did right, and I’m really sad we didn’t get a full 22 episodes of them, that we hardly got to see them as boyfriend and girlfriend at all, and that they’ll probably break up over the summer (again) and Mercedes will only have a glorified cameo in the Wemma wedding episode
What these writers did with Santana, Brittany, and Brittana remains, to me, the number one most enraging thing they did all season (Kurt not getting into NYADA just makes me cry)
