  • The Wrap has an article giving their renewal/cancellation predictions but the teen dramas aren’t included.

Weekly Poll

23 12 2009

In the last Weekly Poll, every single question was a tight race. Just one vote separated “Brulian forever” from “I need to see more of Alexander first.” There was a slightly wider margin regarding Dan and Vanessa, where 24 of you said the thought makes you want to throw up and 19 said admitted curiosity (5 were giddy). And in the last one, Dixon narrowly beat out Teddy by, again, just one vote!

Weekly Poll

17 12 2009

In last week’s Weekly Poll, a huge majority–nearly 70 percent–thought it was Chuck’s mother in the graveyard. While the votes were a little bit more spread out on the killing of Jasper’s uncle, most of you think Annie did it. The results were much closer on the question of Millie and Mouth’s relationship, where the winning answer (“Who cares? They are so boring!) came out on top by just 7 votes.
