    Bill Compton or Don Draper,

    Bill Compton or Don Draper, huh?  I've had worse choices to make ;-)

    OK...?

    Are we supposed to get a guy from Chart 1, another from Chart 2 and have them fight for us? Hawt! LOL!

    Ok, I got Ianto Jones and Barney Stinson. Are you ready guys? Let get it on!

    Stuck

    Stuck on the impossible Kish conundrum; law enforcement vs medicine - a battle that can never be won.

    Russell T.Davies got the best write-up though!

    HAHA

    Russell T.Davies got the best write-up though!

    That he did. I'm sure after he smashes your teacup he'll tell you that you just don't know what REAL tea is.

    So True

    So True. is it bad that I found Ianto and then just backtracked through my questions?

    Call me dumb..

    .. or slow or what, but are all of the above gay characters?? Did I miss something?

    Not that it matters as I'm a women, but just to make sure I wasn't living under a rock the last couple of months/years.

    Can I choose still? Well, then, I'd go for cutie pie Oliver Fish! No, wait. Cutie pie Kyle Lewis. Yep! NO! Ehm, FIsh! Kyle.. ? Fish it is! No, had fish yesterday. Kyle then.. Ah, whatever, I choose KISH!

    If they are too busy dating each other, I'd go for Calvin Owens.

    And where on earth are Christian and Syed on these charts. Hunh? And Christian and Olli for that matter? Or is it all American? But then why are the Torchwood guys on it?

    Or am I just reeeally dumb?

    Alessar's picture

    They're not all gay. But

    They're not all gay.

    But they are all characters US viewers would be familiar with. Torchwood has been widely aired in the US and is fairly high profile thanks to John Barrowman's ... well, everything really.

    They have all appeared on US TV

    at some point. I thought about opening it up, but narrowing it down would've been impossible!

    Apropos of nothing...

    John Partridge (openly gay in real-life and playing gay Christian on EastEnders) recently won 'Sexiest male actor' on the 2009 Inside Soap awards. Given that he's openly gay and his character is gay and Inside Soap doesn't have a specifically gay demographic, I was incredibly proud of soap fans in the UK. I know Inside Soap quite well and as far as I can tell, it doesn't have any gay staff (despite most of the male editorial people being enjoyably cute when observed from a distance), so there was no 'gay agenda' nonsense - the readers really did make the choice.

    So yes, it might have been nice to see Christian included here. But having said that, this is an American site. However, it works damn hard to be international and is infinitely more inclusive of stuff happening elsewhere in the world than many other American-based websites. Let's face it, one of the reasons we non-Yanks read this site and comment so often is because the editorial staff and most of the commenters either know about events in the rest of the world or are prepared to learn about them.

    Jude, let's give AE a free pass on this one? They're understaffed and they give us all this mass of high quality free content. OK, sometimes they miss non-US stories, but in this instance it's not a big deal. It's a great article that manages to be funny, witty and intelligent - and really, really , really creative.

    I think we should just accept this feature for what it is - and what is is is infinitely better than most of the dross we get on other gay sites, be they American or not.

    SPOILER !!

    A flying monkey told me that Anthony of GOOL fame might be writing an article on the UK soap awards & Mr. Partridge.   sshhhh

    As an anglophile, I also am very proud of the English viewers.  Especially when, not that long ago ( OK a few years back LOL), there was some anger over the straight AIDS story line.

    GO BRITAIN   (btw John IS sooo sexxxy)

    RC94's picture

    WOW

    I got Barney Stinson,

    facorite show, favorite actor, conincidence???

    Patrick's picture

    Jack Donaghy

    I'll have to give it up to Ianto Jones or Barney Stinson for this one.

    How do you get to Jack Donaghy (Alec Baldwin)? He's not my type, even if he is hilarious, but he doesn't seem to be connected to anything/anyone else in the chart.

    JusticeGH's picture

    All that and a bag of chips

    He's linked via "a package of Sabor de Soledad" chips (below his picture) back up to the "Perfect First Date Gift" question.

    Is it cheating?

    To start at the picture of your desired result, and then work your way up??

    I'll take Dean Winchester and Don Draper, to go, please.

    Ode to Buffy

    First off, this is a black hole of procrastination...but I second working your way back and ending up (or starting off) with Dean Winchester. Yummy!

    But, really, I just wanted to send kudos for the ode to Buffy in the first chart. "Apocalypse? We've all been there. The same old trips, why should we care?" :-)

    You made my day!

    purple_squirrel's picture

    I noticed the "Apocalypse?

    I noticed the "Apocalypse? We've all been there" also :)

    Sadness

    I just broke up with NPH this week, and it's a little soon for me.

    Oh, Okay.

    Answering the questions seriously, I got  Scotty Wandell. Gerrymandering for daytime, I got Oliver Fish.

    dback's picture

    LOL, I did it 4 different ways, depending on my mood/taste

    And I wound up potentially with Bill Compton, Ianto Jones, Noah Mayer, and Scotty Walker as my potential mates.  Any and all of whom I'd be extremely pleased with.

    What would I have had to do to snag Kyle Chandler on "Friday Night Lights"?

    bradano's picture

    I got may man!

    Very scientific so I thinking that it is very accurate.  SO now what do we do.  Does he just show up here.  Or is he going to call to get the logistics.  FOr now I just be patience and wait patientiently for Brett althoug I am sure that as soon as he found out who I was he hopped on the first form of transport to get here!

    Eww, I got the one I don't

    Eww, I got the one I don't like...

    Suggestion...do not reveal the picture, or it will affect how you choose.  Why not blank it, until the end, then click, then reveal the guy??

    Gee what a choice

    Barney Stinson, Jack Donaghy, or Don Draper?

    If we're going purely by physical being, I'm all for NPH... but coming down to character, oiy what a selection >_<

    jago87's picture

    First question LOL

    Didn't even notice the other answer to the very first question hahahahaha
    JoJo06's picture

    I got me some Kevin Walker!!! and Some Hot Noah Mayer!

    I LIKE my choice, but I don't love it... Kevin is cute, his family? I could totally handle, the age factor however, not so much, maybe if he was 10 years younger? Totally! LoL his family is nothing compared to mine, just kidding, but totally could handle the Walkers!

    I did get Noah if I did go on a Daytime date, oh man Noah would be perfect! Sweet, charming and taller than me!! Thank goodness.. LoL guys here at home are totally shorter than I am, and it's kinda funny! I like me some barista! 

    jws1128's picture

    I'm a Mormon

    so I get 3 from chart1 & 5 from chart2. 

    Seriously,  VERY clever and apropos to the characters.  Well Done. thanks

    Interesting...

    Somehow I ended up with Jack Harkness. Hmm... Don't know about him, but since he's popular around here I'll give it a shot. He's definitely cute enough! ;)
    jacknunez's picture

    I got Dean Winchester, not

    I got Dean Winchester, not happy with the results :(
    Elliot's picture

    Wow

    I got the two Jacks:  Harkness and Bauer.  Wow.  I wonder what that says about me...

    Choose your own

    These charts are entirely amusing. I kept changing my answers to get to different conclusions, and I was hardly ever disappointed with the results!

     

    (Although, I notice that this site is again referring to Scotty as Walker, this time without even a hypen.  Could someone please explain to me the reasoning behind this?  We've never heard him or anyone else refer to the character as such on the show, and even the revamped ABC web site and other press releases refer to him as Wandell.  There's no evidence that he changed his name, so I don't get why I keep seeing it this way, especially since Kevin remains simply Walker.)

    F&#039;losrix's picture

    ...foiled again!

    So of course I end up with the one who's dead.  Curse you, Russell Davies!  My fine porcelain teacups with the handpainted periwinkles were utterly precious to me. (Oops, completely wrong series.  Nevermind.  Carry on.)

    Give me Van Hansis any day.  I like the characters ability to sacrifice for others.  I love Luke.

    GAH!

    ...Well that sucks. I don't know who I got. It's either Sam Winchester or Jack Harkness...
