## Why He Rocks

1. Logan is a jerk, but he has a heart of gold.
2. Logan is often very arrogant and self-absorbed.
3. He's considered a flirtatious jerk by many students and likes to take pictures of himself and autograph them to give to girls at PCA.
4. Logan constantly refers to himself as being attractive and condescends to others.
5. He also enjoys being active and making out with girls.
6. He has a good friendship with Chase and Michael, and is always there for them on many occasions.
7. He does get her comeuppance for really bad things she’s done.
8. He is portrayed to have a crush on Zoey on numerous occasions, including "Broadcast Views", where he flirts and asks her to make out, until he starts dating one of Zoey's best friends and roommate, Quinn Pensky.
9. He's portrayed as being a dumb person when it comes to school, spending money and street smarts on many occasion, but it's revealed in one episode that he's very gifted in Chemistry, smart enough to tutor Zoey. This is due to being taught every summer as a child by his grandfather, a chemistry professor at a nearby college.
10. Despite being so stuck up, Logan is not truly a bad person, and although selfish and arrogant, he does care about his friends, and will come through for them when they need him to.
11. His arrogance and maliciousness often stem from his family's wealth and connections. However, in the episode ''Logan Gets Cut Off,'' his dad cuts him off from his money and credit and confiscates his luxury belongings for a while after Logan buys a six-figure priced car without asking permission in order to teach him a hard lesson. Logan, distraught, broke, and with no amenities, is forced to navigate the world of being an average kid and do things for himself without financial help, which he has a *very* hard time doing.
12. Despite being known as a womanising jerk in the earlier seasons, especially in seasons 1 and 2, Logan started to grow out of this in season 3 and while he still tried to get girls to date him, he showed his really soft side when he found Quinn crying and listened to her after her break up with Mark, which leads Logan to kissing Quinn. It is shown after he started dating Quinn that his player attitude is behind him and is generally a really sweet guy deep down when it comes to being in a relationship with her and is willing to do what makes her happy.
13. In Goodbye Zoey, Logan and Michael helped Chase admit how much he missed and loved Zoey. Logan ripped the head off a stuffed giraffe Zoey gave him, showing that he does care for Chase and wishes him to be happy. Subsequently, Chase attacked Logan, although Logan forgave him.

## Bad Qualities

1. He has a *very* strange relationship with the group, due to him being the Token Evil Teammate and The Friend Nobody Likes. And while Logan is often a jerk to his friends, they aren't exactly kind to him either, often going a bit too far on their payback for Logan's jerkish behavior.
2. His constant suffering is basically karma's way of telling him that being a colossal jerk towards others has its impeccable amount of consequences, and thus he suffers through karmic retribution whenever he reaches that point. However, while he often deserves it for being an asshole, in some episodes he seems just victim of Disproportionate Retribution from his "friends" (with "Zoey's Tutor", "Rumor of Love" and "Anger Management" being some of the most egregious examples, which have led by Zoey who was very unlikeable in those episodes.
3. He can be unlikeable a lot of the times.
4. While his arrogance can be funny, it can be annoying most of the time.
5. Him and Dana Cruz were originally supposed to date (as hinted by their belligerent sexual tension) until she was written out of the show and Quinn took over the role as Logan's love interest,
6. Although Quinn and Logan were a cute couple, their relationship came out of nowhere, and it could've been better if they developed their relationship a little early in the show due to the fact they didn't have much screen time together. They also don't have much things in common, which also why Dana was Logan original love intress.
