Aside from Victoria in Season 1 of HIMYM, I have disliked any of Ted's love interests. Stella was mostly, such a bland and irritating character and then, there is Zoey. She is everything irritating about Stella, amplified.

Zoey and Ted is a terrible dynamic, and Zoey being integrated into "the gang" was done in such a hideous manner as far as the writing was concerned. I did not care for her at the end of "Blitsgiving, as the writers attempted to humanize her. At the start of this episode, something is terribly wrong. And it has to do with Zoey being a part of the group. She calls Ted 'man', something that is just the poorest and most inexcusable form of poor writing imaginable. The writers had to quickly sell Zoey as a close friend to the gang, so she decides to call Ted 'man'. The actress Jennifer Morrison does a very poor job with the character, making her little more than a cardboard cutout. And this moment stuck out, as just terrible script writing.

The end of this episode is poor, and it is meant to be very sweet and endearing. As I know she is not the mother, I eagerly await the character's departure from the show. Zoey is everything the writers did wrong with Stella, amplified, making her one of HIMYM's biggest nuisances to date.
