How I Met Your Mother: Ted's 5 Worst Ex-Girlfriends, Ranked by Reddit
Ted hasn't always been lucky with his girlfriends.
For a series called How I Met Your Mother, it should be no surprise that the main character, Ted Mosby, spends a lot of his time trying to find love, stumbling and failing far more often than he succeeds. During the show's nine-season run, Ted dated numerous women, some of whom became beloved characters while others were not so popular with fans.
Here are five of Ted's worst ex-girlfriends, ranked by Reddit.
5. Carly Whittaker
Carly and Ted only dated for one episode, and it was clear from the start that she was not the one for him. For starters, Carly was only 20 years old, and Ted really struggled to find common interests with her. This doesn't make her the worst girlfriend in the world, but fans got a little mad at Carly because she hid the fact Barney Stinson was her half-brother.
4. Becky
Robin's co-anchor is not a bad person per se, but her personality proved to be a bit too much for Ted. While Becky was obviously a beautiful grown-up woman, some of her actions made her look like a five-year-old girl. Fans didn't dislike her, but she was the worst possible woman for Ted.
3. Zoey Pierson
Ted's longtime girlfriend was one of the most annoying characters on the show, as her activism drove many fans crazy. Mosby managed to put up with her antics for a long time, but when Zoey made his entire college class skip his lesson, he began to realize that they weren't made for each other.
2. Victoria
While Victoria might have been the one for Ted, her fate was sealed when she left her fiancé at the altar and tried to run off with Ted. Even though he initially agreed to go out with her, Ted simply couldn't trust Victoria after what she did to her ex, and their relationship was doomed.
1. Stella Zinman
Ted's most hated ex-girlfriend is undoubtedly Stella, who left Ted at the altar for another man and then asked for his help to save her marriage. Stella was a diminishing presence in Ted's life, and fans hated how the writers tried to make her look like a good person after what she did.
