Betty & Veronica

One of the most common types of Love Triangle, wherein the male hero is caught between his affections for two girls with drastically different personalities. "Betty" is the sweet, everyday Girl Next Door, whilst "Veronica" is more alluring, exotic and edgy, but has a more 'troublesome' or 'dangerous' personality. This translates to their physical appearances; "Betty" will be usually be something of a 'Plain Jane', whilst "Veronica" will be Ms Fanservice in all her glory. Look out for color-coding, though not always uniform; A blonde Betty will be paired with a dark or red-haired Veronica, while a brown- or red-haired Betty will be opposite a blonde Veronica.

Betty:Natasha

Why They Fight:

Archie
Jealousy
Breakdown: When commitment-phobic Mr. Big marries the tall, willowy, prim, twenty-something former Ralph Lauren model Natasha after dating her for only five months, our petite, neurotic, wisecracking, thirty-something Carrie's self-esteem is plunged into a dark abyss. Carrie self deprecatingly summed it up herself when describing Natsha as such: "She's shiny hair style section Vera Wang and I'm the sex column they run next to ads for penile implants". She also surmises Big chooses Natasha over her because Carrie is "C-c-c-curly" and "C-c-c-complicated". Big and Carrie eventually enter into an affair not long after he marries, that ends when Natasha discovers Carrie in their marital apartment and chips her tooth chasing after her. Carrie and Natasha are mainly romantic rivals, but Natasha becomes a tool for the show to explore the idea of the Perfect Women who make lesser, normal women feel insecure. 
Who Wins? I'm giving this one to Betty. Both are more than a little worse for wear after the debacle, and both lost Big, but Carrie loses Big and Aidan in the process, and sleeping with married men does not veer very far into the path of rightousness. Also, Natasha delivers a whopper of a verbal bitchslap to Carrie at their impromptu lunch that could only make her feel about as big as the period that concludes this sentence.
