24 since it seems to be on a roll. I have no interest in Paris' tender side.  Let her rant!

24 is outta here!

1.  Rory, Jess, and Paris eat tons of junk food and discuss literature. Jack Kerouac needs to learn to edit. Paris covers for Rory when Angry!Dean shows up, saying she has a crush on Jess. (There's the Rub)

4.  Paris gets asked out by Jamie, but doesn't realize it was for an actual date. (Lazy Hazy)

5.  Paris goes to the Bangles concert with Rory and they bond over how silly Madeline and Louise are being. (Concert Interruptus)

27.  Paris tries to find the 'seedy underbelly' of Stars Hollow.  "Reverend Nichols, huh?  What is that, like Doctor Feelgood?"  Luke wants to know how much Rory likes this person.  Rory tells him to do what he's gotta do.  (RiSH)

Nor mine.  I'm not into the kinder and gentler Paris at all. 27 is the last of what I like about Paris.

4 is gone!  We're really down to it now!  I don't think I've seen any votes at all for 5 so far which is making me really nervous for 1, which is my favorite for lots of reasons.

It really is my third favorite of these....

[LeafontheWind]

I don't love any of these but 1, so I will go with 5 as well.

[lulu1960]

My favorites were gone a long time ago. (I liked the softer side of Paris)

5

[Lady Calypso]

There are some that I definitely wanted to stick around longer, but I'm ok with these three being the top three.

27.

Oh man, I love 5...I also love the softer side of Paris, and for me, this whole episode is the foundation of the Paris/Rory friendship, and it's a lot more about Paris as the main focus, rather than about an ensemble and Paris being secondary.

That said, these are all awesome moments...there's so much to love with Paris.

Two of my very favorites survived to the end!  Yay!  

I'm going to go ahead and cast a vote this round, against 27, because 1 is not only a favorite Paris moment, it's one of my favorite scenes of the entire series.

1.  Rory, Jess, and Paris eat tons of junk food and discuss literature. Jack Kerouac needs to learn to edit. Paris covers for Rory when Angry!Dean shows up, saying she has a crush on Jess. (There's the Rub)

27.  Paris tries to find the 'seedy underbelly' of Stars Hollow.  "Reverend Nichols, huh?  What is that, like Doctor Feelgood?"  Luke wants to know how much Rory likes this person.  Rory tells him to do what he's gotta do.  (RiSH)

[navelgazer]

Mine, too.  

1 for the win.  

[LeafontheWind]

1 for the win!

I always wanted to see more interaction between Jess and Paris later on. Missed opportunity there!

[Guest]

1.

I generally prefer the non-sweet Paris side, but #27 isn't that memorable for me and I love the Jess/Paris discussion leading up to the sweeter moment.

[junienmomo]

1 for the win. 27 was hilarious, but 1 also left me wanting more.

Perfectly stated!

[ghoulina]

This is probably pointless, but I want 27 to win. None of my favorites have been in the running for a long time now anyhow. 

[Bumblebee Tights]

1 for the win, for all the reasons everyone else have said.

[Lady Calypso]

1 for the win, for the precise reasons mentioned above. There was just so much more to be desired. However, I still love 27 a lot. 

[Kohola3]

I, too, want 27 to win. It is quintessential Paris.  Number one is an aberration - it's a Lane-type moment, not a Paris one.   Not her at all.

[Taryn74]

So what are we gonna want to do next?  Have we done a favorite Michel moments?

[lulu1960]

1 for the win. 

I like the Michel scenes idea. 

[Taryn74]

So tickled that this is our winner!!  I love this one because it's not "vulnerable" Paris but she's not on her guard and overly caustic either.  She's just in her element and enjoying herself.

Rory, Jess, and Paris eat tons of junk food and discuss literature. Jack Kerouac needs to learn to edit. Paris covers for Rory when Angry!Dean shows up, saying she has a crush on Jess. (There's the Rub)

 

Let's start listing favorite Michel moments for our next game!

I'll start off with -

Michel ignores Lorelai's babbling about Rory going to the club with Richard.  "To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon." -- Kill Me Now

[lulu1960]

Michel telling the French guests that he is from Texas.

People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to any more of them.

Michel plays with the kids (Who wants to play an insipid board game?)

Michel rolls "Truman" Davy under the bed. He was playing baby crepe

[Taryn74]

Baby Crepe!  Hahahaha.

1.  Michel ignores Lorelai's babbling about Rory going to the club with Richard.  "To me, you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon." -- Kill Me Now

2.  Michel telling the French guests that he is from Texas.  "Sir, I'm just a simple country boy from Texas. I do not understand this francais business you're babbling about."  -- Cinnamon's Wake

3.  "People are particularly stupid today. I can't talk to any more of them." -- Pilot

4.  Michel plays with the kids ("Who wants to play an insipid board game?") -- A Messenger, Nothing More

5.  Michel rolls "Truman" Davy under the bed. He was playing baby crepe.  -- The Nanny and the Professor

[Kohola3]

Michel lets Emily into the Crap Shack to pick up Rory's things. ("I am here. I am here and not at the Dragonfly Inn, which I theoretically run, when I'm not busy answering doors like Benson.") -- New and Improved Lorelai

[Guest]

When Michel redid the Inn's website to be a picture of himself.  You click on different parts of him to navigate.

When he won the trailer on Price is Right but insists he did not jump or wear a t-shirt.

When he calls Rory "Little Lorelai" for stealing his pink sticky notes.

"I'm being punked, I know I'm being punked."  The Nanny and the Professor

Where he won't swear on Destiny's Child not to count the blueberries "Pick another group!"

[Kohola3]

The wedding planning for the "Doublemint Twins".  ("The battle for soup versus salad is waging in the other room. Come quick and settle it, please, as I'm running out of French curse words that they won't understand." ) -- Kill Me Now 

[Guest]

When he's calling other hotels about jobs as the Independence Inn is on fire.

When Sookie and Lorelai visit him at his new hotel.

When he's supposed to fire the guy but ends up adopting two dogs.

[Kohola3]

When the senior citizens ask him where to find the best antiques.  "At your house, I would imagine,"

To Lorelai about Luke.  "It must be nice to have a man who isn’t ashamed of his own body odor."
