I’ll always pick the blonde. ---

> [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Now that that is settled, can we have a poll for Daria v. Jane? Or Quinn, and the Fashion Club? > > Were Daria and Jane supposed to be attractive? It’s difficult to tell with animated characters. From what I remember, Daria was the type who could look pretty if she put effort into it. Her sister is supposed to be quite pretty, seeing as her fashion club seem pretty high on the popularity scale and she is not presented as the less hot one. Jane I don’t remember. None of them are great personality wise, though. Jane is probably the closest. Daria is too depressing to be around, and the Quinnpack are too fake. Daria is only good if you can get past her shell, and I don’t think I can. That said, I was extremely attracted to Daria’s type at the time, and adored her. It’s only looking back that I see our personalities wouldn’t mesh. ---

I’d prefer Blondie Bumstead any day over the choices offered. Her neighbor Tootsie would do in a pinch. Of course I’d being just buying time until Alexandra got legal. ---

Based on the tv show, definitely Veronica. But just to get closer to Hermione. ---

I want them both. Why should I choose? ---

They’re both beautiful, and Betty has the “nice girl from next door” thing going for her, but Veronica always was the one for me. I’m a sucker for sexy brunettes. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > I don’t agree that they got any of them right, but especially not Archie. The hair is just so obviously fake. I cannot buy that he’s a redhead. Veronica doesn’t look rich enough, and Betty doesn’t look Girl Next Door enough. And, yes, Jughead looks off, though his clothing choices in the actual show are better–including the hat. Actually, it’s the picture that doesn’t do the actors justice. They are all fine, and look much better in the show than in the photo. Jughead is wearing the jacket of the Serpents, a gang in the show that he is drawn into due to plot machinations. The show isn’t bad, but it’s nothing like the Archie Comics. It’s alternate universe Archie, with murders and beatings and drugs etc. Here’s a better picture of Betty: [Betty from Riverdale](https://goo.gl/images/pXgtRf) And [Veronica](https://goo.gl/images/FuVi7t) And it’s still Betty.
