** It gets even worse if you look at Elaine and Jerry's relationship over the course of the show. Here are two people who simply didn't work out, but thought they were BetterAsFriends. In the beginning, both were pretty normal people, but over the course of the series, the two, along with Kramer and George, bring out the worst in each other, becoming caricatures of their former selves. At this point, Elaine fully realizes this but is too far gone to do anything about it.
