So here it is our FOTM interview for November with Maham! ;) আপনি may all know her from being very active on this spot, which shows how much she deserves this! Congrats hun <3

1. So Maham, আপনি won! =D Why don’t আপনি start দ্বারা telling us আরো about you? ;)
নমস্কার guys =)
So starting with the basics, I am Maham, as most of আপনি probably know, I am 17 years old and I live in California.
I am sucker for romance, chocolate, good বই and of course TV. I don't really have any talents- I can't draw. paint, sing, act, play an instrument, nothing! It's kinda sad at times, but the one thing I take pride in is my লেখা ability and লেখা fanfictions is something I like doing on the side, as many of আপনি Leyton অনুরাগী might know (Too Far Gone). My history on ফ্যানপপ is relatively short since I have been active here for only about 8 months, but its been a lot of fun, and for the past couple of months I have been completely addicted!
This is my first FOTM, and it's really exciting because One বৃক্ষ পাহাড় is the one spot that I spent a lot of my time on because of my প্রণয় of the show, and each and everyone has been so great to me, that it's been an amazing experience =)

2. Is One বৃক্ষ পাহাড় your পছন্দ tv প্রদর্শনী ever? If not, which প্রদর্শনী is it?
Yeah, it is. Even though I haven't been watching it from the beginning, I fell in প্রণয় with it the moment I saw it. The characters, the storylines, the couples, they're all amazing. And even though at times I am tempted to kill Mark because of the way a season has been going and what not, in the end it all wraps up to be something worth watching!

3. How did আপনি find out about OTH? And what was the first episode that আপনি watched?
My বন্ধু have the biggest hand behind my addiction to One বৃক্ষ Hill. When I started watching OTH, it was in its fourth season, and after every episode, my বন্ধু would rave about how good the episode was, how much they hated/loved a certain character, and the discussions were never ending. I felt so out of the loop because I had no idea what they were talking about, and after a great deal of persuasion, I finally gave in and watched the pilot. Needless to say, I have been hooked ever since!

4. What is the thing about OTH that makes it different from any other show?
Hmmm...this is a good one. I think I would have to go with the fact that it deals with a lot of the everyday real life problems that other shows often fail to grasp. Especially during the high school years (S1-4) OTH has covered a lot of the topics that teenagers have to go through with everyday- social pressures, jack গাধা parents, drug abuse, suicide, falling in love, having your হৃদয় broken, and the তালিকা goes on. And while sometimes the storylines are a little exaggerated, they get the message across and that's what it makes it different and আরো relate-able than most other shows out there.

5. Imagine আপনি can re-write all the OTH seasons. Would আপনি change anything অথবা the প্রদর্শনী would end up exactly like it is now?
Oh আপনি have no idea how tempted I would be to change what happened between ন্যালে in season 2, but when I think about the reconciliation that took place in season 3, I won't be able to do it. That reconciliation/finding each other again gave us some of the best ন্যালে scenes ever, and that would not have happened if Haley hadn't left (no matter how much I despised her for it).
In fact, I don't think I will change anything, because even though some storylines made me want to throttle Mark, most of the outcomes, at least to me, were worth the pain.

I guess what I have to say to আপনি today is this: where I play basketball, if I play basketball, is no longer a decision for me to make alone. It's a decision that I make with my wife and my family's best interests at heart, and when I do I'll let আপনি all know. My wife couldn't be here today so, I just wanted to say one thing to her: Haley, no matters what happens, we face it together. I promise you, I've never been happier. Everything is gonna be okay. I প্রণয় you." (Nathan)

"I was reminded today in a roundabout way that the most perfect act of প্রণয় is sacrifice. It's what Keith did for Karen; burying his feelings for her for all those years so he could be a good friend. I প্রণয় আপনি Lucas. And I think I have since the first moment we locked eyes and it is going to suck but if what আপনি want is for me to let go then I'm gonna do it. Be happy Luke. I want that with all my heart."

13. This season doesn’t have Lucas and Peyton, two of the main five characters. Do আপনি think OTH feels like a different show, অথবা it’s still the same?
OTH definitely feels different without the two because obviously they were a huge part of the প্রদর্শনী for the past six years, but I am not sure its a bad different. I mean, I প্রণয় Lucas & Peyton both as characters and as a couple, and coming into the 7th season without them, I wasn't sure what to expect, but to be honest I haven't been disappointed so far (with the exception of 7x11 which was my least পছন্দ episode of the season). I am always going to miss Lucas & Peyton, but I প্রণয় the new characters, especially Clay, and I think after 7 years it isn't the worst idea to try something new! And with the consistency with the rating, I think the freshness of this season is doing good with the viewers (I mean we beat GG in ratings like almost every week, and that is such an over hyped/advertised show!)

14. What do আপনি think it’s gonna happen in the future for Brooke & Julian and Nathan & Haley?
I honestly am not sure what's going to happen between Nathan & Haley. Right now they're making it seem like Nathan is headed towards Barcelona and Haley & Jamie are going on tour. I don't know about Haley's tour, but I doubt Nathan will be moving to Barcelona- I think they're setting the stage for a big "Clay comes to the rescue kind of thing".
Personally I am a huge supporter of Haley going to tour because that would be like স্নেহ চুম্বন goodbye to the already meager ন্যালে scenes we are getting these days. But who knows anything is possible.
And with Taylor coming to town in 7x13 (episode after midseason break), I am sure it's going to stir some interesting ন্যালে stuff.
As for Brulian, I don't believe they are over for a second. We see her with him in the hospital where they bring Alex, I am guessing. I think they need a lot of issues they need to fix before they can get back on track. Julian needs to learn to keep his mouth shut, and Brooke needs to learn to trust her man. I am pretty sure Julian will want to help and be there for Alex, because he will partially blame himself for what happened to her, and Brooke will have to come to some sort of understanding with that. But I have no doubt that they will find there way back to each other, and hopefully get a miracle pregnancy out of it?

15. I’m gonna say a word and আপনি say a scene/episode that reminds আপনি of that.
Happiness: 6x24- "You're in the NBA?" "I am in the NBA"
Angst: 4x16- Battle between Psycho Derek and Brooke & Peyton
Tragedy: 3x16- Dan kills Keith
Hope: "The roots are still there, it just takes time. Don't say I never gave আপনি anything." (3x07- ন্যালে on the rooftop of Karen's Cafe)

Unexpected: 5x12- Lindsay being the one to break of the wedding- with the comet analogy at that!
Family: 6x09- Nathan gives up Slamball for his family
Mistake: Nathan not firing Nanny Carrie after her completely off the line behavior (flirting, skinny dipping, and kiss, I mean come one Nate, that was really stupid!)
Mark is a freaking idiot (xD): Brooke telling Julian that she can't have children

16. This অথবা that?
High school years অথবা adult: High School
Chris Keller অথবা Miranda: Chris Keller
Brulian অথবা Jeyton: Brulian <3
Mouth অথবা Millie: Neither, but for the sake of picking, Mouth
Season 2 অথবা 5: 5 (season 2 was a nightmare, never watched past episode 13)
Brucas অথবা Leyton: Leyton <3
Clay অথবা Quinn: Clay
Julian অথবা Jake: Oh man this is hard, I প্রণয় both, but I think Jake a little bit আরো =)

17. Which season is your favorite? And least? What do আপনি think that could have been done to make that least one better?
For পছন্দ season its tough tie between 3 and 4, but for the sake of this প্রশ্ন I'll go for 4. We had some great ন্যালে moments along with the pregnancy, the state championship, Leyton getting together, psycho derek attacks, Nathan trying to dance, Honey grove prom, and of course a reappearance of Chris Keller, could আপনি get any better than this?
It was the perfect ending of their high school career, and almost every storyline was interesting to watch =)
Least favorite, well thats cake, season 2 hands down. For me, it was the most painful season to watch. I stopped watching after 2x13, and mostly just saw the Jeyton scenes after that (the only part of S2 worth watching). Even though I hated what Haley did to Nathan in this season, like I ব্যক্ত before, I wouldn't change that because the pain was worth it in the end. But the one thing I would change will be Felix & Ana storyline. I swear, that was such a pointless storyline. Brooke/Felix being বন্ধু with benefits, Lucas/Ana dating, Ana admitting that she's bi- it was all such a waste, so yeah I would definitely মোছা that out of season 2 if I had the chance.

18. Imagine you’re Mark for one day. After getting a body-guard to protect আপনি from the অনুরাগী (xD), আপনি can write an episode for this season. What happens?
Oo yes, I would definitely need someone to protect me from the fans. I find it hard to believe how Mark can come out of his house sometimes without being egged দ্বারা angry fans...lol!
But back to the question, what would happen if I wrote an episode for his season? Well, I would definitely প্রণয় to ship Millicent away, somewhere, anywhere, I don't care, as long as she is away from বৃক্ষ Hill, I am good. I would also প্রণয় to write a scene where we see some characterful development of Alex. I প্রণয় her, but so far we've only seen her in a bad light, only being allowed glimpses of who she really is. I would like to see her character grow and mature after this suicide attempt, so that she could realize just how important and beautiful life truly is.
On the Brulian front, I would প্রণয় to write the reconciliation scene, আপনি know in which Brooke lets Julian in all the way, and Julian finally acts like the boyfriend we know he can be. For Quinn, I would প্রণয় for her to finally get a divorce from David, seriously its long overdue!
Finally, Naley! Mmm...a night alone sounds pretty awesome, maybe in the rain, with a return of the bracelet/purple ফুলেরডালি and the line "Don't say I never gave আপনি anything". I know, I am a complete sucker for old school Naley, and I would প্রণয় to see a reappearance of all these little things that while insignificant to others, meant the world to them.

19. Season 8. Hot অথবা not?
Right now, it's too early to tell. A part of me never wants this প্রদর্শনী to end, but in the end it all comes down to the storylines and how they work out. So far, every character's life is in a mess, and I don't see a closure coming any time soon, but we're only at half season, so there are a lot of "what ifs" hanging there. However, if the quality of the storylines stay interesting, I wouldn't say no to a season 8...crazy I know =D

20. Finally, any last words? =)
I would just like to say thank everyone who voted for me. Thank আপনি so much guys, it means a lot. Also to everyone who's been so awesome to me here, for rating my stuff, leaving sweet comments, and just being great in general.
And last but not the least, a huge shout out to Cat for taking out the time to do this interview, thank আপনি so much hun, আপনি have been nothing but absolutely wonderful ever since I have known you, so thank আপনি so, so much =)

প্রণয় আপনি all <3
