If anybody can make you feel like you're falling headfirst from a flaming tower, it's Paris Geller. She's exhilarating to be around and forces us to level up (whether we like it or not), but she can also be really disorienting and destructive. She is an absolute TROLL to Rory at Chilton . . . but her attitude forces Rory to buckle down and become valedictorian. She goes crazy organising extra curricular events as she and Rory careen towards college graduation . . . but all that tap-dancing probably helps Rory land the Obama campaign. We run when we see Paris coming, but we know we'll probably be better for having dealt with her.
