HAHA that show was awesome... It truly was amusing to watch!
But yeah, honestly I thought Archie would never propose to either of them. Though it always did seem like he would Propose to Veronica, however he would get shot down and Betty would come on the rebound. Hmm...
Word! I still watch it from time to time on youtube. It's hilarious!
I agree that Archie could never chose between them, and sometimes I do think Betty deserves better than Archie. Archie, though, is just as crazy about Betty as he is Veronica, but Veronica flaunts herself more and dazzles with her designer clothes and money, so as a result he tends to dump everything for Ronnie. However, Archie is very possessive of Betty and calls her "his girl" and is immensely jealous if other guys hit on her. I think Veronica's allure is that she's hot, and Betty is cute girl-next-door who plays sports and is intelligent to boot. I'd say Betty's allure is more of a love-centric nature than mere lust, but who knows who Archie truly loves, if he does at all.
A lot of fans ship Betty with Jughead instead (who treats her with so much kindness and respect, but let's face it, Jughead's true love is food).

She does have a good heart deep down, but she also intentionally hurts Betty at times, too. In the Archie marries Betty arc, Veronica was going to sabotage Betty's wedding and wear a sleazy dress, until Reggie said something and made her think twice about it. For instances like that, she's no favorite character of mine, but yes, she isn't a total lout.
Honestly, though, I think Ronnie's ideal match is Reggie; they're so much alike. In the Archie Marries Betty arc, Ronnie actually does marry Reggie.
