The Chuck Bass Theorem: Why Nice Guys Should Finish Last

The Beast, Belle, Gaston

"Beauty and The Beast" is the kindergarten method of explaining The Chuck Bass Theorem, so if you aren't convinced that the nice guy should finish last, then this should convert you. Here is an example of why you should never trust their labels, because in reality, everybody is a little bit of both (just take Gaston for example). He is the big man on campus in the quiet village, the equivalent to the high school quarterback or fraternity president. All the townspeople look to him to protect them from the enchanted forest and he always delivers. He is their hero and thus, a "good guy," but to Belle, he is a completely average jerk. If Belle settled for Gaston, she would have ended up as a village housewife, while Gaston messed around with all his village admirers. Instead, Belle dared to fall for the bad guy, and made him want to be a better man, and she ended up a princess! We may not have enchantments and spells to make our beast into a handsome prince, but there are other things to help with that! [Photo via]
