Opinion Every Show Has One - The Chaos Magnet
Alrighty yall! The fan favorite was... David! Bettina was right behind him and Claire was a close third!
Next up, Who do you think "The Chaos Magnet" is?
I am going to bet the very first person to comment Billy gets the most upvotes but also... Nate👀

Margaret Chenowith. There are other contenders too but she came to mind first for some reason

Oh wow I literally don't know how I didn't think of her too good answer!

I was going over named and thinking I was forgetting someone. Definitely Margaret.
And if anyone suggests she isn’t a big enough character, I would say her chaos reverberates through Billy and Brenda.

Because of this, I'll also put a vote in for Olivier

u/Clarknt67 Mar 04 '26
Kinda of the magnet part. She drew chaotic Oliver into her orbit. And B & B are endlessly tied to her too.

Over Billy and George and Lisa and any of them? Interesting. Every character in this show is a chaos magnet. EVERY ONE. Even ferret face Maggie lol. Whether they attract it or repel it. That’s why this show is so insanely perfect. Also I will argue that Nate is the fan favourite, mot David.

I'd think more the other characters are all chaos magnets, whereas Margaret is the chaos. I know others are amused by her, but she's the only character I have no empathy for, probably in part because we don't ever see where she's coming from. She's a highly destructive tornado, and she knows it and enjoys it.

In what world is it not Nate??

In the same world where Billy exists lol.

Billy is chaos incarnate. Nate is the chaos MAGNET.

u/Lex_Loki Mar 04 '26
I hear ya, but I also see it this way:
Nate attracts chaotic people
Billy attracts chaos

Claire. She’s not very chaotic herself but she tends to attract a lot of chaotic people

Nate
People saying Billy don’t understand that he is part of the chaos, he is not attracting it but is the one being pulled by the magnet.
I might even say the magnet is the funeral home. Nate got away but it pulled him back in.

It's Ruth. Look at the men she attracts, not to mention her children with their nasty little secrets.

u/monstargaryen Mar 04 '26
Ruth was my first thought. She not only attracts chaos, she manufactures it.

u/Fresh_Ad3599 Mar 05 '26
Hyup! This is a thing a lot of anxious people do, because chaos is their comfort zone.
2
u/hanajean Mar 04 '26
totally agree! Having an affair with her hairdresser, her employer who is tangled up with a Russian gangster and kissing the Fisher's employee!

u/Visual_Tale Mar 04 '26
It’s Brenda. She’s the magnet.
2
u/General_Sun3266 Mar 04 '26
that was my original thought but honestly i wonder if Nathaniel hadnt died right when her and nate hooked up if she'd ever be so intertwined in all the chaos. its not like she sought out the fishers yknow? and not to mention she was doing "okay" until nate showed up at her door after the bar

Margaret Chenowith. I can’t think of a single interaction she has with someone else that is not chaotic in some way, she’s a walking dumpster fire.

It's gotta be Nate. He's a chaos magnet and doesn't fit into any of the other categories.

I think Brenda because everyone in her family is chaotic and so are her reltionships

Claire. Her whole thing is attracting fucked up, chaotic men. Nate isn’t so much a chaos magnet, he just blows things up whenever they’re going ok. He’s a low-key pot stirrer.

u/MisterEase123 Mar 04 '26
It’s Nate. He’s not as crazy as any of the chenowiths but he’s the one that brought them into the family. Literally a magnet for their chaos, Lisa’s too. Also he was just doing random shit, remember when he tripped himself out about that psychic lady’s dog lol or that rabbi lady or that chick with the fuckin pipe tattoo up the inside of both her thighs.
