00:00 "Oh, Sam, naughty naughty."
00:02 "They give you bonus points for it."
00:04 Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:06 And today we're counting down our picks for the enemies and rivals from TV who end up falling in love.
00:12 A few spoilers for these relationships.
00:14 "It's only 10.30."
00:15 "Wanna break up at midnight?"
00:18 "That works."
00:19 "Okay."
00:20 When Mary Crawley first meets the middle-class male heir to her family's fortune,
00:29 she and Matthew don't get along.
00:31 "Very good, my lady."
00:32 "Lady Mary, I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I was only joking."
00:35 "Of course. And I agree. The whole thing is a complete joke."
00:40 Mary is condescending and rude,
00:42 while Matthew struggles with fitting in with the aristocracy and the new expectations placed on him.
00:46 However, despite many obstacles standing in their way,
00:49 including scandals and other partners,
00:52 these two distant cousins discover genuine affection for one another and later love.
00:56 They marry and have a son.
00:58 And while their love story is cut tragically short,
01:01 while it lasts,
01:02 Matthew and Mary's relationship is entertaining and beautiful.
01:06 "You'll be my Mary always.
01:08 Because mine is the true Mary.
01:11 Do you ever wonder how happy you've made me?"
01:15 Even the most meticulously planned heists can have unexpected complications.
01:26 But the mastermind falling for the lead detective in charge?
01:29 Well, there's no planning for that.
01:31 Sergio Marquina, better known as "The Professor",
01:34 at first gets close to Inspector Raquel Morillo
01:36 while trying to manipulate her investigation into his team's heist at the Spanish Royal Mint.
01:40 "Everything was planned, Raquel. Everything. Everything was planned.
01:45 I'm sorry. Everything was planned.
01:49 And what happened between us was not planned."
01:51 However, they both develop genuine feelings for one another,
01:55 which leads to Raquel not only letting Sergio escape,
01:58 but also the detective joining their gang and the duo forming a relationship.
02:02 Their bond is tested by the circumstances of further heists,
02:06 yet always endures.
02:22 Davey and Ben begin the show as academic rivals,
02:25 often competing over their success in the classroom and outside of it.
02:28 "Do you think you can set aside your rivalry for the good of the class?"
02:33 "Of course, Mr. Shapiro. A great idea, as always."
02:36 "I agree. In fact, I liked your idea even more than he did."
02:40 As hilarious as their mutual loathing and creative insults are,
02:43 it's even better seeing them slowly realize that the sparks between them have a romantic edge to them.
02:49 Even after getting together, though, Benvy isn't without issues.
02:52 Their on-again, off-again relationship is every bit as tumultuous as their rivalry.
02:57 But ultimately, they were made for each other, and we're glad to see them get together in the end.
03:01 "What?"
03:03 "I love you."
03:05 "I love you too, Ben."
03:09 This duo's differences often leave them at odds with each other in high school.
03:18 Quinn is a quirky inventor, while Logan is an often superficial jock.
03:22 Their mutual dislike is evident throughout the show.
03:25 "I am Quinn. I must go get a sprocket from my home planet, Dorkon."
03:30 "I am Quinn from Dorkon."
03:32 "So, you guys think I'm a dork."
03:35 However, after a breakup, Logan comforts Quinn and a mutual attraction blossoms.
03:40 The pair begins dating in secret, but ultimately,
03:43 the two of them decide to be open about their unorthodox yet strangely perfect relationship.
03:48 The sequel film reveals they've not only stayed together, but also sees them get married.
03:53 Sometimes young love lasts.
03:55 Congratulations, Quoggan.
03:56 "I love Quinn Petski!"
03:59 "And I love Logan Reese!"
04:02 "Shut up!"
04:03 Most romances don't begin in earnest after the divorce.
04:12 But there are always exceptions.
04:14 Dr. Perry Cox and Jordan Sullivan are both the most vitriolic and sarcastic characters at Sacred Heart Hospital.
04:20 "Oh my God, if I have to stay here and listen to this crap, I'll need a stronger drink."
04:24 "I hate you."
04:27 "I hate you too, honey."
04:29 "Fair enough."
04:30 They're both fond of witty barbs and taking each other down a peg.
04:34 And while they essentially rekindle their relationship as a mutual booty call,
04:38 Jordan and Perry basically fall in love again,
04:41 having multiple children together and even renewing their divorce.
04:45 "I pronounce you ex-husband and ex-wife. You may now do whatever the hell you want."
04:52 Although they never stop insulting each other and everyone around them,
04:55 it's clear they have an abiding love for each other.
04:58 Right from the moment these two meet, they cannot help but compete with each other.
05:08 Viscount Anthony Bridgerton has a reputation as a rake.
05:11 Meanwhile, Kate's sharp tongue and desire to protect her sister Edwina's prospects
05:16 give Anthony a poor impression of her.
05:18 "Are you the superstitious sort? I know some men cannot perform without their familiar tools,
05:22 like a child with a blanket."
05:24 "I can play perfectly well with any mallet."
05:29 However, despite their frequent arguments and tete-a-tetes,
05:32 their chemistry soon becomes obvious to everyone, except them.
05:36 Although it takes an aborted wedding between Anthony and Edwina for them to see it,
05:40 Kate and Anthony do eventually get together.
05:43 Their fiery passion and 11 out of 10 chemistry
05:46 have us excited to see what their married life will look like.
05:49 "I suppose that means they are cutting out."
05:51 "No, no, no, we're not cutting out." "No, not a chance."
05:53 "I just want to take this opportunity to return upstairs."
05:57 "And admit defeat? Never."
06:05 When Ben Wyatt comes to Pawnee, he's there to slash the government's budget.
06:09 This puts him at odds with Deputy Parks Director Leslie Knope.
06:13 The two of them immediately clash over spending.
06:15 However, a rapport and mutual respect quickly develop between them
06:28 as they get to know each other, which naturally leads to attraction as well.
06:32 Despite some initial drama in keeping their relationship a secret to protect their jobs,
06:36 Leslie and Ben have a wonderful dynamic.
06:39 Their constant support of one another and utter admiration for each other
06:42 is something any couple should hope for.
06:44 Ian and Mickey are from a pair of rival families.
07:01 Their initial relationship is as adversarial as the rest of their families.
07:06 However, even after hooking up, these two have a tumultuous relationship.
07:10 From jealousy over other partners, to arguments, to Ian's struggles with bipolar disorder,
07:15 Galevich has their share of ups and downs.
07:18 But, after reuniting in prison of all places,
07:21 Mickey and Ian set out to make things work for good, even tying the knot.
07:25 "I now pronounce you husband and husband."
07:30 "Now?"
07:31 "Yes, now."
07:32 They both may be walking disasters, but together,
07:38 their dysfunctions somehow fit each other perfectly.
07:41 Speaking of disasters, Chuck and Blair have quite a chaotic relationship.
07:50 This shows resident bad boy and queen bee respectively,
07:53 these two are at each other's throats initially,
07:56 often sparring verbally with one another.
07:58 "And here I thought you were getting soft."
08:00 "So this is your bed, huh?"
08:03 "Leaving, now."
08:06 "You can repay me another time."
08:08 However, even after getting together, things aren't smooth sailing for them.
08:13 Between several breakups and hookups, Blair and Chuck are constantly on again and off again,
08:19 when they're not antagonizing each other.
08:21 But come on, these two getting together was an inevitability.
08:24 They're Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf.
08:26 We all knew they were bound to be an endgame couple.
08:29 "Blair, do you take Chuck to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
08:32 "One word, three letters, yes."
08:34 "And by the power vested in me by the great state of New York,
08:36 I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride."
08:39 At the beginning of this series,
08:48 it's probably difficult to believe that these two would get together.
08:51 After all, Logan is the one leading the charge in ostracizing Veronica from their social circle
08:57 in the wake of the death of his ex-girlfriend Lily, Veronica's best friend.
09:00 "You seem to care a bit what I think."
09:02 "Tell the truth, Veronica. Did you just sign up for newspapers so you could be around Duncan?"
09:06 "No. I'm here so I can be closer to you."
09:09 However, both of them come to respect each other, and they eventually get together.
09:14 Despite several breakups and drama,
09:16 Logan and Veronica ultimately stay together and even marry in the fourth season.
09:20 "I pronounce you husband and wife."
09:22 "And that's where we kiss?"
09:28 "I'm a civil servant. It's your call."
09:30 "Let's go for it."
09:32 "I'm nothing if not traditional."
09:34 And then the event which shall not be spoken of ruined everything.
09:41 But at least their journey up until that point was satisfying.
09:49 Heroin Sookie Stackhouse has several contentious love interests during True Blood,
09:53 but we ultimately settled on Eric Northman.
09:55 "You big lying a-hole!"
09:57 "Bill, you're right. I believe I can sense her emotions."
10:00 The complicated vampire earned Sookie's justifiable ire after he tricked her into drinking his blood,
10:05 forming a permanent bond between them without her knowledge or consent.
10:09 However, as time went on, their connection began to become genuine,
10:13 leading to a romance as well as a deep level of trust and mutual protectiveness on both their parts.
10:18 While their relationship didn't work out, the love between them never really faded.
10:23 Rick Castle is the show's eponymous author,
10:36 while Kate Beckett is the no-nonsense detective who becomes his muse
10:40 and reluctant partner in crime-fighting.
10:42 The two bicker frequently,
10:44 and the fact that they meet due to Castle being a murder suspect doesn't start their relationship on the best note.
10:49 "You know, for a minute there, you actually made me believe that you were human."
10:53 Castle seems keen from the beginning, while Beckett appears to be totally disinterested.
10:58 Over time, however, the flirtation became a two-way street,
11:01 and the relationship evolved into something more than attraction.
11:04 "Beckett, what do you want?"
11:06 "You."
11:07 Though their journey was not without its obstacles or drama,
11:10 Castle and Beckett eventually get married.
11:13 #8 Emma Swan and Cillian Jones' Captain Hook - Once Upon a Time
11:18 "I'm gonna let you in on a little secret."
11:21 "I'm pretty good at knowing when someone is lying to me."
11:26 Emma Swan, the primary protagonist of the series,
11:29 and Cillian Jones, better known as Captain Hook,
11:32 don't exactly get off on the right foot.
11:34 "You're not gonna guide us anywhere until you tell us who you really are."
11:37 This is mainly due to him being a roguish pirate
11:39 who's aiding the villainous Queen of Hearts when they first meet.
11:42 Still, some shared misadventures and Hook's willingness to put Swan first
11:46 ultimately wins her over, with more than a little help from his considerable charms.
11:50 While their fairy tale story was fraught with danger,
11:59 the two of them do eventually get their happily ever after.
12:02 "Emma Swan."
12:08 "Will you marry me?"
12:10 #7 Cece Babcock and Edward Niles - The Nanny
12:14 If we had a dollar for every time these two insult each other,
12:17 we'd be obscenely rich.
12:19 Every time Cece and Niles are together, the shade flies fast and free.
12:24 "Yeah, sit down."
12:26 "Just plain tomato juice, don't you have anything hard?"
12:30 "Not for you."
12:32 Niles often sabotages Cece's attempts to get together with his boss.
12:37 While Cece frequently disparages Niles' position as a butler and lack of money.
12:41 However, it gradually becomes clear that their animosity towards each other
12:45 conceals an underlying attraction.
12:47 "Servant."
12:49 "Trollope."
12:51 "Bellboy."
12:53 "Brunette."
12:55 While their repartee never quite loses its edge,
13:04 they do make a strangely fun or at least entertaining couple.
13:08 #6 Ted Mosby and Zoe Pearson - How I Met Your Mother
13:12 "I will find the bastards at GMB responsible for this,
13:15 and I promise you, I will take them down."
13:19 Jennifer Morrison really has a knack for these kind of roles, huh?
13:22 This time she plays Zoe, a protester who at first clashes with Ted
13:26 due to his role in designing a new building destined to replace an older one she loves.
13:30 "I have the chance to build a skyscraper in the best city on Earth,
13:34 and who's the one leading the charge to kill that dream? My girlfriend!"
13:37 Through their various conflicts, an understanding and attraction builds between them,
13:41 despite their differences in Zoe being married at the time.
13:44 However, their contentiousness carries through to their romantic relationship,
13:48 and ultimately their inability to see eye to eye leads to their inevitable breakup.
13:53 "Sometimes, things have to fall apart to make way for better things."
13:59 #5 Sam Puckett and Freddie Benson - iCarly
14:02 "I never said I hate you." "Yeah, you have!
14:06 Like 900 times. I still have the birthday card you gave me that says 'Happy Birthday, I hate you.'"
14:13 Sam is the best friend of Carly Shay and co-host of the titular web show,
14:17 while Freddie is their producer.
14:19 The two of them bicker and argue constantly,
14:21 with Sam, who's something of a mean girl going out of her way to mock Freddie.
14:25 "Your breath smells like dead feet." "Sure."
14:27 "No girl will ever want you." "Noted."
14:29 "I don't like your pants." "Fair enough."
14:30 "If you were a country, you'd be El Salvador."
14:32 However, their animosity gradually develops into an attraction,
14:35 culminating in a short-lived relationship.
14:37 "Everyone feels that way, but you never know what might happen if you don't..."
14:43 While they do love each other, their differences and antagonism
14:46 force them to admit they don't quite work,
14:48 even though some fans would heartily disagree with that assessment.
14:52 "No way! I've met your mom! She's obnoxious and she's rude!"
14:56 "Carly has lived next to my mom for years!"
14:59 "Carly, tell her!"
15:00 It seems with the revival series, though,
15:02 the show has firmly planted its flag in team Carly-Freddie.
15:06 #4. Nicholas "Klaus" Michelson and Caroline Forbes - The Vampire Diaries
15:11 Klaus is one of the original vampire/werewolf hybrids,
15:15 and Caroline is a human-turned-vampire,
15:17 and together they form just one of the many complicated couples on The Vampire Diaries.
15:22 "And how am I doing?"
15:25 "You're...perfect.
15:29 Just so beyond annoying, I can't even look at you."
15:34 Klaus begins his time on the series as an antagonist,
15:37 and certainly no friend of Caroline's.
15:39 However, after he saves her life,
15:41 the two of them form a bond that eventually evolves into a romance.
15:45 "He's your first love.
15:50 I intend to be your last."
15:53 Sadly, it's a rather short-lived one,
15:55 cut short partially due to Klaus' commitments elsewhere,
15:58 and his involvement in a spin-off.
16:00 "I will walk away, and I will never come back.
16:05 I promise."
16:07 Regardless, theirs was an engaging romance while it lasted.
16:11 [Music]
16:19 #3 Jon Snow and Ygritte, Game of Thrones
16:23 "Would you please shut up?"
16:24 "Would you please shut up?"
16:26 War can bring people together and tear them apart,
16:29 and this couple experiences both.
16:31 Jon Snow, a former member of the Night's Watch,
16:34 first meets Ygritte, a wildling warrior,
16:37 when he captures her north of the wall he's charged with guarding.
16:40 "I'm a free woman."
16:41 "You're a free woman?"
16:42 "But I might be your prisoner, but I'm a free woman."
16:45 "You're my prisoner, you're not a free woman, that's what prisoner means."
16:48 Although she's flirtatious with him, he resists,
16:51 as he takes his vows of celibacy to the Watch very seriously.
16:54 However, when charged with infiltrating the wildling cause,
16:58 Jon begins falling for Ygritte in earnest.
17:01 "I do know some things.
17:05 I know I love you."
17:08 Tragically, Jon's honor and duty come between them,
17:11 and he rejoins the Watch,
17:13 leading to a heartbreaking end to their relationship.
17:15 "You're not nothing, Jon Snow."
17:19 "E-fi-fo-fum.
17:33 I smell the blood of a nice ripe...
17:37 girl."
17:38 This seminal supernatural teen drama featured several pairings
17:41 that went from hate to love, like Xander and Cordelia,
17:44 but arguably the most dramatic instance is between Spike and Buffy.
17:48 "As a personal favor, from me to you, I'll make it quick.
17:52 It won't hurt a bit."
17:53 "No, Spike. It's gonna hurt a lot."
17:56 Buffy is a vampire slayer,
17:58 and Spike is a vampire who has killed several slayers,
18:01 and aims to do the same to Buffy.
18:03 Be that as it may,
18:05 circumstances lead to alliances between them on multiple occasions,
18:08 and Spike begins to nurse a crush on Buffy.
18:11 "Giles, you'll never believe what's happened."
18:17 It isn't until she goes through significant trauma
18:20 that she reaches out to him in response,
18:22 but she eventually shows interest in kind.
18:25 While their short-lived relationship is mostly rooted in lust,
18:28 Spike's love for her is genuine,
18:30 albeit sometimes very unhealthy.
18:34 "Where do we go from here?"

19:01 #1 Sam Malone and Diane Chambers - Cheers
19:05 "I'm probably gonna regret this, but you could work here."
19:10 Arguably one of the most famous and influential couples of this type,
19:14 Sam and Diane changed television with their relationship,
19:17 and likely influenced some of our other entries.
19:19 "Remember the day I said this, you are the nuttiest,
19:22 the stupidest, the phoniest fruitcake I ever met."
19:26 "You, Sam Malone, are the most arrogant, self-centered son of a-"
19:29 "Shut up! Shut your fat mouth!"
19:31 Sam is the owner of the eponymous bar Cheers,
19:33 and his working class attitude frequently clashes
19:36 with waitress Diane's more refined sensibilities.
19:39 "You disgust me. I hate you."
19:41 "Are you as turned on as I am?"
19:42 "More!"
19:43 Over time, however, their arguments eventually lead to an equally contentious romance.
19:48 Along with their verbal sparring,
19:50 the pair breaks up and gets back together many times.
19:53 "I'm calm. If I were any more calm, I would be dead."
19:56 While they ultimately don't end up together,
19:58 their back-and-forth journey to realizing they don't belong with each other
20:01 is an entertaining one.
20:03 "Hey, you know?"
20:07 "Yes. I think we both know."
20:14 If there's a hater turned lover you'd have loved to see on our list,
20:17 don't hate, tell us about it in the comments.
20:20 "Goodbye, Brie."
20:22 Do you agree with our picks?
