Wow. All of the ladies are even hotter than usual, this round. ...except Katherine Hepburn, who is STILL doing nothing for me, sorry.

[alpheratz]

This is the first picture where I found Tracie Thoms very pretty, but I have to vote against her because of her prior photos, sry. And Ewan McGregor is unhot once again!

[aria]

Heh. I suspect a large part of Kate's appeal is loving her as an actor; I literally have not found any picture of her where I find her even remotely unattractive because I find her so awesome at all times. So I do not find it unreasonable that she is doing nothing for you.

[aria]

I suspect we have fundamentally different ideas of hotness! I mean, I see your Cate Blanchett thing and my reaction is, "Yes, intellectually I can see why you would be into her!" Though obviously there is some overlap or you would be going "Wow why did you pick these people?"

[alpheratz]

IDK if I have any ideas of hotness or be able to articulate much about what I find attractive. I have several types and it's not always about the obvious things like figure and coloring.

TBH I find it pretty much impossible to be into people based on photos alone. I haven't seen any video of the last three ladies, so it's like the potential for crushing is reduced by 70%. And maybe I'd understand your thing for them if I saw them in something other than a photo. Also, for the others, I have so many more images of them to draw on that one bad or good photo doesn't make a difference.

[sophia_sol]

I had neve heard of Tracie Thoms before you started these polls, but by god if she gets voted out this early I will be DISAPPOINTED. That lady is smokin'.

[aria]

Tracie Thoms is great! I first saw her as Joanne in the movie version of Rent, but I am fondest of her in the short-lived TV show Wonderfalls, where she plays the protagonist's BFF and there are wacky hijinks. And she is pretty damn smokin' the whole time. :D

[gehayi]

I hated to pick Tracie Thoms, as she is gorgeous here, but I think the other ladies are just a smidge hotter. Also, I still want to be Katherine Hepburn when I grown up.

I voted for Lee Pace because he is cute but NOT smokin'. Paul Gross, on the other hand, is the very definition of smokin'.

[sentientcitizen]

Fair enough. I suspect there might be a similar situation with me and David Tennant. Objectively I suspect he looks rather silly. But, the AWESOME!

...oh, no, Tracie Thoms! *very sad face* Aria, I do not like your rlist anymore, 'kay?

[feverbeats]

Wow, your flist looks like it's about to have horrible taste in women, or maybe good taste in twelve-year-olds, idk, because that is what Karen Gillan looks like.

P.S. plz to stop posting pictures of Idris Elba, I cannot handle it. *______*

[polarisnorth]

Really? Really Tracie Thomas today? That picture is SMOKING. I had to vote for Freema, unfortunately, because that picture is just... meh, to me. And everyone else is SO HOT.

Ewan McGregor doesn't do a lot for me in general, but this is the first day I've liked his picture least.

[graycardinal]

Must....save....Kate....

[innocentsmith]

Vienna Teng is looking especially pretty there. But man, if it comes down to Freema vs. Karen vs. Gina, I may hide my face and weep.

Meanwhile, I'm having no trouble choosing between the dudes, perhaps because JOHN SIMM AND CKR WERE VOTED OFF WTF NO. *grumpyface*

[mergatrude]

I would find it interesting to learn how much people are responding to their concepts of the people as opposed to the pictures presented each day. And are the pictures cumulative? Yesterday was the first day I didn't vote Ellen Page, because I am not a fan of the ingenue and Karen was pulling that stunt. Karen's looking verra sexay today.

And I don't think I could vote out Katherine Hepburn on my life, but like you, that has everything to do with how awesome I think she is. I would love an On Golden Pond pic of her, as I think she aged beautifully, but I guess that's not what this poll is about, eh?

[mergatrude]

I mean, look!



Really, if you're going to grow old with someone, wouldn't you want it to be her?

[aria]

I approve of everything about this comment. :D

[aria]

That is what Karen Gillan looks like at all times, or just in that picture?

Mwahaha, you will have to keep dealing with Idris Elba being goddamn hot until he is voted out! Which looks like it won't be this round! OH YOUR SUFFERING.

[aria]

EVERY TIME YOU VOTE FOR FREEMA, RUSTY WRITES EPICS ABOUT CATNUNS. Or something! But I am glad you are finding everyone attractive today. :D

[aria]

THIS IS A GOOD GOAL. :D

[aria]

I know. I am so overinvested in the ladies' poll!

Heh. I think there are still a few nice ones left!

[aria]

I'm guessing it's a combination! I know when other people have done this meme, I definitely have a few favorites, but of the ones I care less about, who I vote off changes day to day depending on the picture.

Oh my god, that On Golden Pond pic. *____* Yeah, I would be happy to use that, or any of a million stills from Lion in Winter, &c &c, but I suspect that is not the way to win votes for her outside the people who would never vote for her to begin with.

[paperpenguin]

She also drives a super hot car repeating, "I'M GONNA KILL YOU, MUTHAFUCKER," in Deathproof, and that...works more for me than pretty much any other moment in a Tarantino film.

[paperpenguin]

OH GOD, Tracie Thoms and Katherine Hepburn are doing worst? THAT IS SO APPALLING.

[sentientcitizen]

Oh - huh. Well. I suddenly see the appeal of Katherine Hepburn? Aged well indeed.

[aria]

I KNOW RIGHT. I mean at this point I suspect I would be appalled whatever the case, but I am very much with you here.

[mergatrude]

Beautiful, smart, good sense of humour...

[aria]

This is possibly my favorite comment ever. :D

[feverbeats]

AT ALL TIMES.

I guess I will just have to deal.

[sentientcitizen]

Beauty I am suddenly agreeing on! Smart and good sense of humour are difficult to discern from still photos. :)

[mergatrude]

Yes, as I said to Aria above, it's interesting how much we are voting on immediate appeal and how much our own knowledge of the person is affecting our voting patterns.

I mean, I have been voting down Lee Pace the entire time, because I have no idea who he is and I don't care about him, whereas I will pick a skeezy pic of Callum Keith Rennie over most other guys because, in conclusion, Ray Kowalski!

[entropical]

Eva Green AND Ellen Page have been taken away from me, and now people are voting out Lee Pace? WHAT IS THE POINT OF ANYTHING.

*retires to fainting couch*

[polarisnorth]

I'M SORRY, I JUST HATE THAT DRESS, OKAY.

I am so cracked out with tired right now. *whump*

[alpheratz]

She looks exactly like my great-grandmother in that pic. Same smile, same happy eyes.

[sentientcitizen]

A lady-like swoon is the ONLY LOGICAL RESPONSE to the loss of Lee Pace. *nodnod*

[genarti]

It is SO HARD to pick any of the ladies to vote off! SO HARD. THEY ARE ALL GORGEOUS. I am having to go on "Well, I guess you're a little less breathtaking than the others... if I squint...? I'M SORRY."

(Most of the guys I am not particularly taken by, though. So that one's easier, as often, due to my general disagreement with much of fandom about what makes for a swoon-worthy fellow. Ah well!)
