For all the people do don't want to see the ratings drop if we all quit watching. অথবা those who are confused about our loyalty to the show. We are not only watching this প্রদর্শনী for Delena. I, personally, watch this for quite a few reasons and I'm sure many (if not most) other Delena অনুরাগী do as well.
These include...
Interesting relationships- Dalaric...is dead. Klaroline...is dying. Deremy...missed its time. Steroline...is hindered দ্বারা Stelena. I know Stefan is the 'good guy' and if he managed to stay on the wagon he wouldn't be bad for Elena in the long term either. But does anyone really want to see আরো boring love? If আপনি do, are আপনি sure আপনি want to see two আরো seasons of boring love? Maybe it's good in real life. Maybe it's good for your friends. Maybe it's good for your neighbours. But it doesn't make good television.
Character growth- Stefan had his redemption arc. Matt's acceptance of the supernatural. Alaric letting go of his past. Jeremy becoming a Hunter and making sacrifices. Katherine had hers quite recently. Klaus is going onto the new প্রদর্শনী for his. Rebekah's feelings for Matt, Bonnie's Shane arc and post-Shane story (and let's not forget her disastrous প্রণয় life), Caroline's transformation from nasty cheerleader to loyal friend and teammate. And of course Damon, who has suffered and grown আরো than anyone else, through all 4 seasons. Who's left? Elena. And she won't grow as a character if she keeps picking the নিরাপদ option.
The Blood and Badassery- So think of it this way. It's a vampire প্রদর্শনী and we thirst to see blood. A lot of blood. And let's face it- if Klaus and the Originals are gone and Damon goes soft trying to impress Elena, we aren't going to see much of that. On the other hand, if Damon brings Elena over to the dark side...blood! Blood! Glorious blood, they're not humans with superpowers anymore, they're bloodthirsty vampires! Which was the concept of the প্রদর্শনী to begin with.
Damon- I think it's নিরাপদ to say that Damon's the funny one on the show. The only funny one on the প্রদর্শনী now, because Elijah has gone god knows where, Katherine has gone god knows where and Caroline is too busy making Stelena shirts. Damon, at his best in the first two seasons, is the হৃদয় and soul of the show. If he dies, the প্রদর্শনী dies. And if he has his হৃদয় broken again, all we'll see is another pointless killing spree. I know that my last point was about blood, but death is a প্রদত্ত on TVD and it doesn't count unless it's a character we love. They're hot model ভ্যাম্পায়ার after all, not dracula i-vant-to-suck-your-blud types.
Delena- Because they have such amazing scenes, chemistry and your eye is just sort of drawn to them. Even if you're a অনুরাগী of some other pairing, আপনি have to admit that their friendship (and thus any interaction between them) is screwed if she rejects him again. So if this goes, the প্রদর্শনী kind of strays into the good story, but meh category. আপনি know, the shows that people watch only when there's nothing else on TV? That are interesting, but don't really grab your attention enough?
Spectacular writing- They kind of derped with the Sun and Moon curse (which was fake, ha!), but they've had a pretty spotless record when it comes to making sure everything is not only canonically sound but also genius. But the লেখা kind of went down the drain with the sire bond. Seriously, there were too many plot holes associated with it like the fact that she was able to defy him in a few episodes. And how many times are they going to pull the it-was-fake card? Seriously, it only works if আপনি don't see it coming.
Quality of the actors- Which will still exist, no matter who Elena picks. But nobody watches a প্রদর্শনী just because of good acting. At least, the majority doesn't. And in TV shows, it's all about the ratings.
So in truth, the decision to drop the প্রদর্শনী has been in the back of my mind (and this might apply for some other people too) for some time now, but I've been clinging on to the hope that TVD, Alloy, Julie, Kevin, anybody can pull it back from the cliff before it's too late. If Elena chooses Damon, it shows me that they're getting back on track. Why? Because it would be unrealistic after a season of her proving her genuine feelings for Damon for her to pick Stefan again!
Personally, I won't be leaving entirely. I'll be watching from a distance to see if all is হারিয়ে গেছে অথবা if there is a sudden burst of awesome for the show. But I don't blame anybody else for quitting because there are only so many ways the ত্রিভুজ can be recycled.

I am in প্রণয় with Vampire Diaries. However, it is my duty as a অনুরাগী to not stand aside and watch the writers and the অনুরাগী of this spectacular প্রদর্শনী make the biggest mistake ever! প্রণয় is a very passionate thing and no matter who Elena chooses in the end if she chooses stefan..... it will be the biggest mistake she will ever make in her life and for the Stelena fans..... আপনি know I am write and আপনি are probably thinking who the hell is this person Stefan is hot, well i will admit he is pretty hot, but প্রণয় depends on passion and how much a person connects and damon and elena have a relationship(besides the sire bond) that i am pretty sure any girl অথবা maybe guy....... would kill for. so if the writers choose the wrong one i am sorry to say but they do not understand প্রণয় and that is a shame because this is the perfect প্রণয় story.
