Which of JR's two wives was best suited to him?

Snarky Oracle!

Silly thread. No one's really "suited" for him because JR is a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies.

That said, let's just say Sue Ellen deserved him the most.

JR just loved the chase. He always wanted the woman he didn’t have. He would have eventually gotten bored with Leslie and cheated.

On a side note, she was a boring character that made no sense. I’ll never understand why Jock didn’t have JR removed from Ewing Oil after he allowed her to sabotage a deal to get back in the cartel.

Who would take over Ewing Oil if J.R. was removed as president? Remember, this was just after Bobby had made Ewing Oil so cash poor (liquid assets wise) while neglecting Pam for so long, and Jock and Bobby had bickered at that time too. Remember before J.R. was shot, he had sold 75% of those billionaire Southeast Asian wells to the hapless Cartel and Vaughn Leland, so huge liquid assets for Ewing Oil at the time that Bobby took over after J.R. was shot. I'm not surprised that Jock wouldn't get involved with that again so soon after the Bobby tenure as president of Ewing Oil. And remember that Jock made that "power is something you take!" statement to Bobby when Bobby was running Ewing Oil with fanatical determination and accused Jock of embezzlement. When J.R. got back in charge, with the Cartel still disliking him and Ewing Oil cash poor, he decided to finance a counter-revolution from his Swiss bank account to get the old Southeast Asian wells back to their original privatized owners.

The Leslie Stewart thing seemed interesting for a short time, but didn't really go anywhere in the end.

Cally really wasn’t as naive as she appeared to be. Remember how she tricked J.R. into finally marrying her by telling him she was pregnant when she really wasn’t yet. She was no master manipulator by any stretch but she could tussle with him when she had to and hold her own.

Jock let Bobby stay in charge because of Miss Ellie. Bobby had just started to leave Southfork when JR was shot. Miss Ellie told Jock to leave Bobby in charge because she couldn’t take losing another son. Even though Bobby was making foolish decisions, Jock agreed. Say what you will about Jock, but he would never let anything hurt her. Even Julie Gray was because he didn’t want to be treated like an invalid or be told what to do. But he didn’t do anything physical with her & he came right back to Miss Ellie. Can you imagine a woman going after JR with a horsewhip? He would have grabbed it out of their hand & said if you ever try this again, I’m going to use it on you.
