Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Given that Brandon chooses to watch the Mets, Allie's best response is to also watch the Mets because this scenario likely maximizes their joint utility by allowing them to spend time together, despite her preference for the Red Sox. This is inferred from the description of their willingness to watch the other's game for the sake of spending time together.
