Not the city, but the incomparable Paris Gellar. 

She's driven. She's competitive. She's rude.  And she's amazing.

6) Girls in Bikinis and Boys Doin the Twist - Rory and Paris go on a spring break trip. Paris learns the banana eating contest is not about just eating a banana (Season 4, Episode 17)

I think I'd have to add 'The Big One' to that list. I think Paris' C-SPAN breakdown is a great moment. "I'm not going to Harvard. I had sex, but I'm not going to Harvard."

Haha.... I hate that episode! It’s so cringeworthy to me. The thought of her going on live TV looking like that and talking about her and Rory’s sex lives.... so embarrassing! 🙂

I do feel bad for her in that moment. But, earlier in the eisodenwhennshes talking about having had sex with Jamie, its so sweet. And I love a vulnerable Paris; if it had knocked her down, I wouldn't like it... But instead she bounced right back from all this to continue being her. 

[Grrarrggh]

It's interesting that on the surface she's supposed to be worst that sweet, little Rory, but in actuality Rory is the selfish bitch and Paris is great.

"Do what you've got to do, Luke." LMAO. I love that episode, and Jess' responses, too. "I want to be good, but life just isn't letting me." I wasn't a fan of teen Jess, but he gets good lines. I also love it when she steps in to help with Logan, at the hospital.

 

The very first part of this video:

 

Paris : I know you cheated on Rory.

Logan : I did not cheat on Rory.

Paris : Are you going to deny it? Are you serious?

Logan : We were apart!

Paris : Oh please!

Logan : We were! We weren't together! And why the hell am I arguing with you? I don't want you back!

Paris : You, Logan Huntzburger, are nothing but a two-bit, spoiled waste of a trust fund! You offer nothing to women or the world in general! If you were to disappear from the face of the earth tomorrow, the only person that would miss you is your Porsche dealer!

I can't find an exact quote, but when Logan is in her "office" and is leaning back in the chair, looking through the door, for Rory, and Paris tells him to stop doing that, unless he's going to spin plates on his head.

This is great! When you see how Paris evolved, I've really got to hand it to the showrunners.
