I’d take Martha over Rose any day. Freema is freakin’ hot! And Donna’s not in the same league as either of them. I mean, I liked the character okay, but she’s not anyone’s fantasy girlfriend. ---

They’ve already been claimed (damn you, **Stuffy** and **GuanoLad**!), but for the longest time, it was Garcia from _Criminal Minds_, but she started getting kinda weepy this past season. Then along came Parker from _Leverage_ and all was right with the world again. And, maybe not as a “boyfriend”, but more of a “bromance”, I would definitely hang with Eliot Spencer from _Leverage_. ---

[Jill Wagner](http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=jill+wagner), from _Wipeout_. Back off, she’s mine. ---

> [@want2know](#): > > And, maybe not as a “boyfriend”, but more of a “bromance”, I would definitely hang with Eliot Spencer from _Leverage_. Mmmmm. Eliot. If I can’t have _Criminal Mind_’s Morgan, I want Eliot! A man who can cook gourmet food _and_ kick ass? (Not to mention that nummy long hair, and his way of moving like one of those large predatory cats, a cougar or lion or something. . .) Oh yeah! ---

She met some people with a completely different lifestyle then her’s but managed to become friends with them and even try some of their geeky stuff out. ---

Well, I’m only watching two shows right now - guess which: Billy Piper (Rose Tyler) and Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel) ---

During the summer, while I’m watching _So You Think You Can Dance_, there always ends up being a guy I have a teensy crush on (and who I terribly want to win!)… this year it’s Robert. Tall, dark, handsome, and very flexible! During the rest of the year, it’s kind of between Josh Radnor (Ted Mosby from _How I Met Your Mother_) and Jesse Spencer (Dr. Chase on _House_). Depends on how good the episode was for the week. ---

Ziva from NCIS, if we’re talking characters. If we’re talking real people, then Susie Dent from Countdown. I had a crush on her in my teens and she doesn’t seem to have aged a day since. Adorable smile, intelligent, funny, sweet, and she loves language. ---

Well, I think I’m going to have to go with [Zoe Graystone](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0003779/). She is unbelievably hot, and that voice… Oh. My. God. The fact that is quite dead would be something we would have to work on to get past. So, given that, I would have to go with [Chloe Armstrong](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1137028/). I know, so many people here find her character to be completely annoying. She also has terrible taste in men. But, DAMN! The sad fact is that much of my 20’s was spent just like Eli – always pining away for the pretty girl who loves me like a brother, but sleeps with the jerk. And the jerk she sleeps with isn’t totally loathsome, but is so not what is best for her. I’m happily married now, but I guess I still have a soft spot for the hottie needing rescue. I also am trying to ignore the fact that both of these young women are young enough to be my … … … friend. ---

[Tom Welling](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pKos-WpFP7E/SLSG_gfKx1I/AAAAAAAAAgc/p86XhYaRrY0/s1600-h/twilight+Tom.Welling.jpg) from _Smallville_. I kept watching about three seasons longer than I should have because he’s just so . . . . dreamy. I know, ancient word choice but he conjures up all those sweet perfect boy next door images. Best smile on television right there. ---

That reminds me, I really like [Magda Apanowicz](http://www.buddytv.com/info/magda-apanowicz-info.aspx), not so much as her _Caprica_ character, who is a bit limp so far, but I really liked her role as Andy in _Kyle XY_ ---
