I think Sawyer and Juliet getting together (if only briefly) is 1) predictable 2) a good thing. I'm getting real tired of the 'love triangle' that is Jack Kate and Sawyer - it's become real stale and an element I never liked in LOST. It really put me off S3. So I think Sawyer getting together with any-one that isn't Kate (and mistreats and uses him the way Kate has done) is a good thing.
I also don't believe Sawyer really loves Kate in the real sense, I believe he has feelings for her but not love. The one time we did see him in love was with the woman he reluctantly conned (and got pregnant). It would be nice if he did really hit it off with Juliet and that they did end up getting close. As for Kate, I think she just wants her cake. It would really make me happy to see the look on her face if she ever found out that Sawyer had moved on and found some-one else.
