This poll had the most interesting results out of all three shows only because you guys didn’t follow the directions too well. For almost every question, people put in things for ‘other’ that didn’t even take place during this season. Remember, guys, I said to vote on this season only.
Because there were so many crazy votes (and a few of them made me laugh), I’m going to organize this results summary differently than the others ones. I will list the winners, some of the answers you guys wrote-in, some of the invalid answers (i.e. not eligible because it wasn’t from this season) you wrote-in and my thoughts. I think it will be much clearer this way, since there is so much I want to share.
FAVORITE CHARACTERS
Winners: Brooke, Lucas
Noteworthy Others: Julian
Invalid Others: Keith, Chris Keller, Fake Derek…and Chuck Bass?
Thoughts: Brooke beat by Peyton by only 2 votes. The percentages were 37.5 versus 37.0. Ridiculously close! Julian getting a decent number of votes bodes well for next season when he’s a regular.
FAVORITE COUPLE
Winner: Lucas & Peyton
Invalid Others: Brooke & Lucas, Brooke & Nathan…and Brooke and Rachel?
Thoughts: Not surprising considering their huge following, and that Brucas wasn’t an option. Naley wasn’t too far behind.
WORST CHARACTERS
Winners: Peyton, Lucas
Noteworthy Others: Victoria, Millie, Nanny Carrie, Gigi and “Kate Buy-My-CD Voegele”; Chase, Owen, Dan, Dixon, Nick Lachey
Invalid Others: Bevin, Nikki, Lindsey, Anna; Felix, Derek, Tim, Chris
Thoughts: I know there are a lot of Leyton haters out there, and a lot of people love Brooke, Haley and Nathan individually so I guess this result kind of makes sense. I’m, of course, disappointed since Peyton and Lucas are my fave.
WORST COUPLE
Winner: Brooke & Owen
Noteworthy Others: Mia & Chase, Skills & Lauren, Mouth & Millie, Skills & Deb
Invalid Others: Lucas & Anna, Bevin & Tim, Rachel & Cooper
Thoughts: There was a lot of Browen love last season…and then Julian came around so I understand why this won.
FAVORITE SUPPORTING CHARACTER
Winner: Jamie
Noteworthy Others: Julian (who I should’ve included as one of the options)
Invalid Others: Rachel
Thoughts: All the choices got a vote except for Nino and Mick. I thought that was pretty interesting. There were some that I didn’t think were going to get any votes.
FAVORITE RETURNING CHARACTER
Winner: Karen
Noteworthy Others: Chase
Invalid Others: Rachel, Jake
Thoughts: Karen won by the largest majority seen in any of the OTH polls–57%. Gigi actually got 5 votes. Who are you people?
BEST STORYLINE
Winner: Leyton’s relationship
Noteworthy Others: Brooke’s relationship with Sam, Nathan’s comeback
Invalid Others: Peyton’s stalker, Brucas relationship, Naley’s season 5 split, the school shooting
Thoughts: The top three vote-getters weren’t surprising since they were the main stories of the season.
WORST STORYLINE
Winner: Nanny Carrie’s return
Noteworthy Others: Skills & Deb relationship, Dan’s heart getting eaten, Millie-Mouth-Gigi triangle, Peyton’s pregnancy
Invalid Others: Brucas relationship, Lucas & Lindsey, Rachel, Peyton’s drug storyline, “Trick question…I see right through you”
Thoughts: The top vote-getters were all fair answers, I think, even though I did like the Peyton pregnancy storyline.
BEST CLIFF-HANGER
Winner: Peyton’s health scare(s)
Noteworthy Others: Brooke’s attack, Quentin’s death, Sam with Quentin’s killer, Season 6 finale
Invalid Others: Season 3 finale, school shooting, Season 5 finale
Thoughts: Knowing that the Peyton health scares were coming, I’m more torn between Brooke’s attack and the Q stuff. Both were a lot more stunning and emotional.
RATE THE SEASON OVERALL
Winner: 8
Thoughts: Every single value got a vote–that means some of you (12 total, to be exact) thought this season was only worth a 1 or a 2! 10 came in second but with only 22% of the vote. This one was very spread out.
RATE THE SHOW OVERALL
Winner: 10
Thoughts: The only one of the three dramas to get a perfect score! It had the majority with 53% of the vote but, again, all values were voted for. For those of you that rated the show a 4 or lower…why are you even watching? Or participating in this poll?
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED!
(Even if you didn’t follow the directions! =P)
aha, wow ! those write-ins were pretty funny.,
lol at the kate buy-my-cd voegele ! i totally agree
I can’t believe that Leyton won best cuple. ( Brulian = <3).
Question: Wouln't be better to do an average in the "Rate…" categories?
That’s a good idea, Ezequiel. I will definitely do that in the future. Thanks!
