" 17: Awkward is back on June 28th! What can you tell us about viewers can expect? JRR: As far as my character goes, I left on a good note with Ricky Schwartz \u2014 my on-again/off-again boyfriend in the first season. But it all goes bad again in the first episode! As for Jenna, she&amp;#039;s dealing with this really big discovery that it was her mom writing the letter, and she&amp;#039;s starting a new thing with Jake. So there&amp;#039;s a lot of drama in the first episode. 17: Are we going to see any new relationship drama with other characters? JRR: It stays more of a triangle, but I will tell you it&amp;#039;s super, super juicy. My prediction is that if you&amp;#039;re Team Jake or Team Matty, then you&amp;#039;re going to be really confused. I never knew who to pick and it doesn&amp;#039;t get any easier this season. I just want Jenna to date them both!  17: What about Tamara?  JRR: Well, she&amp;#039;s pretty hung up on this Ricki guy for some reason. He&amp;#039;s like the one guy that she just can&amp;#039;t get over. So she spends the majority of her time focusing on that, but she does get a little bit stronger this season. She sticks up for herself a bit more. 17: How has Jenna and Tamara&amp;#039;s friendship changed since when the show first started? JRR: It did have some ups and downs in the first season, but now they&amp;#039;re going strong. Tamara has become someone who Jenna can really lean on instead of just being this crazy, sassy best friend. 17: If you were Jenna and had to choose between Jake or Matty, who would you go for? JRR: Well, if I was Jenna and the option to mash them both together wasn&amp;#039;t on the table, then I would have to go with Jake. He&amp;#039;s definitely the better contender because he has just been treating her better from the start. 17: What&amp;#039;s your favorite part working on Awkward? JRR: The cast and the crew! We have such a good team behind this show and it makes coming to work mean so much more. We are like one big family. 17: Who is your best friend on the set? JRR: I am super close with Molly and Jessica. Molly, who plays Sadie, and Jessica, who plays Ming. 17: What kinds of things do you like to do when you hang out together off set? JRR: We like to hike, but we especially like to eat! Molly and I often find ourselves at the Cheesecake Factory with giant pieces of cheesecake in front of us\u2014and we never know how it happened! My favorite is the Banana Cream Cheesecake. Watch Awkward every Thursday at 10:30 P.M. ET/PT on MTV! Click here for even more scoop from Jillian! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
