** Maybe it's not even Joey's personality or even Joey himself who turns her on but she just desperately wants to have a boyfriend. Willow does not seem be overly popular so maybe picked Joey because he's a loser who can't pick up girls so she thinks he can't have high standards and at least is not out of his league.
So she chose him because she thinks she'll have better chances dating a loser than a popular [[BigManOnCampus Big Man On Campus.]]

** They only really found out that she liked heels after ditching a game so she could... sit in bed, wearing heels. Realistically, that dog won't hunt because female athletes don't have to be straight tomboys, a fact BellaAndTheBulldogs displays much better.

[[WMG: Why is Maddie's vision require correction when Liv's does not?]]
* Since they are identical twins, shouldn't they have the same biological flaws? Which means they should both need to wear glasses to correct their vision. Unless Liv had the laser surgery to correct her vision problems.

* Why was Linda and Heather made into a freaky space show?! The comments dropped about that show before made it seem like a normal yet girly sitcom about relationship troubles which was the reason Parker was ashamed to watch it. Also the theme song doesn't fit into a space show. Maybe RuleOfCool ?

[[WMG:Have the events of the episode ''Haunt-A-Rooney'' been erased?]]
* That episode features ''Series/BestFriendsWhenever'''s Cyd and Shelby, who teleported themselves to New York and met Liv Rooney. However, since it's known that at the end of their own episode, they time traveled back to before they teleported. Wouldn't that mean the events of ''Haunt-A-Rooney'' have been erased from continuity?

This contrasts with HannahMontana who gets mobbed as soon as she show up. Given how successful ''Sing it Loud!'' is, it should have propelled Liv into IdolSinger status, and give her a similar following of fans as Hannah or ''Series/{{Glee}}'' cast members had.

* Why do Maddie's friends gang up on her and have an "intervention" when she suddenly starts dressing more feminine and switching up her interests and why isn't Maddie upset at this? They act as if her changing is a bad thing and Liv says that Maddie's "priorities are out of wack" as if Liv is in charge of Maddie's priorities and she doesn't have a right to change them. Liv also acts shocked and maybe even repulsed when she first happens upon Maddie "embracing her inner sparkle" even though Maddie's outfit isn't even that bad. Altogether, I find this pretty horrible and not a good Aesop for children.

** Yeah, that would've worked better if they'd filmed in Chicago and implied Stevens Point was just over the state line. Especially since major Hollywood productions in states other than California and New York tend to attract politicians to their events, the governor was running for president and Scott Walker probably isn't very popular in the Rooney household.

** Maddie as Liv did succeed in fooling the fanboys and the general populace(Except Joey and Parker who are much closer to them). Liv as Maddie technically succeeded too, the only fail they had was that Liv had not realized she would required to wear glasses, and with them only being recently reunited, it's understandable that she doesn't have glasses to pull the switch.

* Liv is 15 when the show ends, probably still a B-lister at most based on youth alone. If Stevens Point is far enough from Chicago (let alone New York or LA) that it's simply too much travel time for not valuable enough a picture, they'll leave her alone. Most paparrazzi work on spec and cluster in celeb-rich environments.
