Team Gale all the way!!
First of all, he knows Katniss way better than Peeta. Peeta just got lucky with Katniss, and for a long time he had her believing that he was pretending to like her only for the games.
Gale loved her for a long time, and he loved her for who she was. Peeta just had a crush on her because she could sing, and because she was pretty. He did not know her. He never talked to her. Sounds shallow to me! But Gale loved her for her spirit, which is far more important than beauty.
Gale took care of Katniss so well! He gave her meat, and Peeta gave her burnt bread. Once.
When Katniss went to the games, Gale still helped her family even though she was making out with Peeta on screen. And when she came back, although he was jealous, Gale was happy that she was still alive.
To top that off, he's Australian inside.
Team Peeta all the way!!
First of all, Peeta's loved Katniss longer than Gale. He loved her since the moment he laid eyes on her. Very romantic. Also, Peeta did not get lucky. He made his own decision to create the fake romance. He took initiative, unlike Gale, who waited for a few months to tell and only cuz he was jealous.
Peeta loved her at first sight, is there anything more romantic that that? I doubt it. And he did not just love her for how she looked. He also observed her spirit and determination, although he never experienced it personally, until the arena.
Peeta swore to protect her with his life. Everyday, he would want to break with his friends and go sit with Katniss. Before the games, he made her desirable, the object of affection to help gain sponsors, which could save her life. In the arena, he advised her not to go to the bloodbath. He led the careers away from her. He told her not to go to the feast, because she might get hurt. And that's only the first book. In the second one, Peeta volunteered at the reaping to take her place. He trained them as careers, to give them a better chance. Then, once in there, he protected her from everything. Trying to keep her as safe as possible. At the end he sacrificed himself for her. In Mockngjay, Peeta told her not to eat the night lock pills, therefore saving her life again. He gave her hope, a promise of a fresh start, a new beginning. Gale just left her, heartbroken and looking for answers. Peeta stayed with her through her troubled times.
Peeta is a true romantic, he wears his heart on his sleeve and he's the sweetest boy ever. He truly loves her. Gale was just platonic love, but Peeta was madly in love with her ever since day 1.
WHO DO YOU THINK WON? WHO MADE THE MOST VALID CASE?
