… I can’t help thinking that main guy off the OC is a er… um… _handsome_ git. He reminds me of Russel Crow in a way. ---

He was very often compared to Russel Crowe when the show started last summer. …but does this mean I’m NOT the only one who watches the show??? ---

Well, on a sunday, at work, where there is a tv, and there’s nothing else on. I have to watch something. ---

Ah. He’s not bad looking. The woman’s prettier than either of them though. What show is it? I don’t really watch television, is it an American show, or BBC? (Personally, I think Robert Carlyle is more handsome, but that’s just me.) ---

(Personally, I think Robert Carlyle is more handsome, but that’s just me.) It’s American (google the name and find out more). The woman is Mischa Barton. Very very beautiful. She was in ‘lawn dogs’ as a kid. Peed on a car windshield. I like robert carlisle as an actor. His portrayal of Hitler was brilliant. ---

Erm link to a picture of [Robert Carylye](http://www.bbcamerica.com/genre/drama_mysteries/hamish_macbeth/hamish_macbeth.jsp) love that show, wish I could see the final season. Both he and [Stuart Townsend](http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800024499&cf=pg&photoid=247190&intl=us) are nice looking. ---

While I do think Benjamin Mackenzie is a good looking guy, I’m all about the Adam Brody and his character, Seth Cohen. Adam is just adorable! And the fact that Seth has a Ben Folds Live poster on his wall seals the deal for me. [/girly stupidity] ---

Yet another reason to love you, Lobsang! My friends and I called him the poor man’s Ed Norton when the show started. Have to say, though, I’m all about the Seth action myself. His wardrobe could have been lifted from my closet, except that I’d never were a Members Only jacket that shiny. ---

You kiddin’ me! We don’t watch the show anymore because we find him so butt ugly we spend every second of his screentime heckling! ---

He’s so unattractive I can’t believe he’s actually a star. He sort of reminds me of “Bud” on JAG. Totally unfuckable. ---

He is a similar to Russel Crowe, I suppose. I find Russel alot more rugged-looking though - yum! Checking out that link, neither one of those boys do much for me really. The woman on the other hand, she’s gorgeous. ---

I’m attracted to him in a weird way, but the comparisons to Russell Crowe may end that once and for all. He’s ugly in a really hot sort of way. Of course, I’m usually attracted to guys. The real mystery is why I’m so frickin’ hot for Keira Knightley. ---

There isn’t much difference between 18 and 22… I don’t understand why that would come as a surprise? ---
