Based on the responses to the polls for each series, we’re now going to have a championship round of sorts.
I’d like to know where you guys stand on the current teen dramas–who tops your list when all three current shows are compared together.
Please vote in the following by Sunday evening!
RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Question: Any news on the CW drama Body Politic? Will it be picked up for mid-season? –Corinne
Ausiello: It won’t. But I keep hearing rumors that one of the show’s stars may find work on another high-profile CW drama. If it happens, and all of my sources insist it probably won’t, it would create quite the hububaloo.
Question: Why did The CW kill the Gossip Girl spin-off? –Tammy
Ausiello: I’m told the higher-ups never embraced the whole ’80s conceit. I’m also told the reason CW boss Dawn Ostroff stopped short of declaring the project dead last week was because there’s a chance it could be reconceived down the road.
****
Note: I think the first question is referring to whether Brian Austin Green (David, Beverly Hills 90210) will appear on the new 90210.
RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
Any scoop on Gossip Girl‘s Season 3? — F.R.
MICKEY: Speaking with TVGuide.com at the CW upfronts, Leighton Meester seemed to confirm that Georgina’s plan to weasel her way into Blair’s life will be successful, as Blair will be living — gasp! — in an NYU dorm, with the little people! Including possibly both G. and V.! (Don’t worry, Dorota fans; she’ll still be on hand to tend to her “Miss Blair.”)
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)
You now have until Tuesday evening to vote in the One Tree Hill Evaluation.
Happy voting!
First off, I want to thank you all for encouraging me to do a poll for Gossip Girl (and One Tree Hill). While the results weren’t surprising to me, it’s still interesting to know where you all stand.
Chuck and Blair pretty much dominated. They’re your favorite characters and favorite couple, and their relationship won best storyline. The percentages were pretty high, too, so no one else really stood a chance apparently.
Vanessa got the majority of votes for worst female character, while Dan won for worst male–though Nate was very close behind.
Nate and Vanessa were voted worst couple, with Nate and Blair in second.
Georgina ranked best supporting character, beating Dorota by only two votes.
There were single votes for the following as worst storyline: Georgina becoming religious, Nate and Jenny’s fling, Eleanor and Cyrus getting married, Nate and Blair reuniting, Chuck’s “Eyes Wide Shut” story and the Gabriel/Poppy scheme.
There were equal votes for best cliffhanger, both coming from the finale: Serena finding out about her dad, and Georgina requesting to room with Blair at NYU.
You rated the season an 8 overall and the show a 9.
Thoughts?
One Tree Hill results will be posted tomorrow.
Today beginning at 10am, SoapNet is airing “Donnarama Marathon.”
The marathon consists of 10 Beverly Hills 90210 episodes that showcase some of Donna’s “top moments.”
The chosen episodes span the ten seasons and conclude with the series finale.
Be sure to check out their “Donna Martin Madness” slideshow, which has photos of both Donna through the years as well as Tori Spelling post-90210.
Greenberg (Jake, One Tree Hill) turned 31 today.
