Every good chaperone should ask high school girls to dance... right? Maybe only when they look like Damon.
We’ve definitely seen more than one side toDamon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder) on The Vampire Diaries. Sometimes he’s this deranged, bloodthirsty killer, and other times he’s this sensitive and devoted friend (even if realistically we know he’s just hoping for a lil’ Elena action in the end). What gives?

Nina Dobrev (Elena) tells Zap2It we see Damon slip back into his bad ways mostly because nobody cares when he’s good. “When we first started the show, Damon was this crazy maniacal killer, and he was basically a ticking time bomb," Dobrev says. "Then he started to somewhat redeem himself, almost for Elena, and he kept doing all these great things, but he wasn't really getting rewarded for it. To his defense, why be good if nothing ever comes of it?"

Girl’s got a point. Damon does pull through for her — and others, occasionally — but everybody still pegs him as the bad guy. What’s the point then, right?

At least that’s Damon’s logic, and Nina says that’s why the whole Andie Star thing began. "He never gets rewarded for his good deeds, so he's kind of going back to his selfish state as well," she says. "[He's] doing things to make himself happy and to feel loved and get attention, even if he's compelling someone to give him that attention and it's not genuine."

Damon not getting enough attention? Anybody else see something wrong with this picture?
