*hugs Yim*
I ended up not being able to contribute more than a handful of votes: the site just would. not. load! Crawled as slow as a turtle missing three of its legs. I finally gave up, lost patience really. Maybe the site was just so slammed that I could only get a squeak in for my own connection, I dunno. But I tried.
I tried...because I was voting for my love of Cas. AND my love of Dean. AND my love of Misha and Jensen, as actors who I want to try to gain as much attention for as I can.
Every time I see a few minutes of a program like Entertainment Weekly (or Tonight, whatever), or any of the other entertainment-focused shows, it's always blah blah blah Kardashians, blah blah Jersey Shore cast

, the latest rap & pop & tween favorite, the latest castoff from Survivor or American Idol. I want the actors
I enjoy, two good men who are so amazing both on screen and off, to get at least a brief small additional moment of attention that would otherwise go yet again to the usual suspects...like Glee and its cast, who gets plenty enough attention as it is, IMO.
And I am proud to be a part of a fandom that supports our show through thick and thin, dark and light...and anywhere we get challenged we take our competition
down thankyouverramuch...OH WAIT! I guess we're not, and we don't - not anymore.
A fandom that votes against our own show...where have I heard that before? Wasn't that supposed to be the worst of the worst? Guess not after all.
So....just think this might be a fitting time to share this, one of my many, many posts from my "Entertainment" thread on NU, where I fill a forum with lots of love for my favorite show, the characters, and cast. ALL the characters and cast, true fan that I am.

CALLING ALL FANS OF TV ALPHA MALES!!E! Online has brought back their March Madness Alpha Male contest....last time the winner was Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester, Supernatural.)
The game is set up much like regular March Madness: viewers posted their suggestions for this year's Alpha Males, and E! narrowed the list down to 64 names. We're still in the first round, 64 candidates in 32 matchups.
E! Online Alpha Male March Madness contest <=(former link to contest)
This is a contest for both guys & gals, eye-candy isn't the goal, picking the most Alpha man is.
Please feel free to share your own choice for Alpha Male, post photos to showcase your pick and support your choice! Or if your own personal ideal Alpha Male on tv has been grieviously ignored and wasn't included in the 64, who is it and why?
Now, again, the idea is to pick your favorites based on their Alpha-ness, NOT who you just happen to like more. Of course, it might end up with the voting turning into a contest of who has the biggest and most active fanbase, but then again, people may actually choose wisely and the most deserved Alpha will win. But this might help explain why guys from Glee somehow have managed to get included in the 64.....I can't for the life of me think of any characters LESS Alpha than Gleeks.
To demonstrate the thinking for a matchup: Mark Harmon (Gibbs on NCIS) is up against Rober Sean Leonard (Wilson on House). Wilson is a limp noodle in comparison to Gibbs; Mark/Gibbs is much more the Alpha. Remember the (sadly, too few) episodes when Gibbs gets to dust off his sniper skills? Don't let his soft-spoken, zen-like calm and cool demeanor fool you, that man is pure yes-sir Alpha.
As much as I like Simon Baker (Patrick Jane on The Mentalist), he isn't very Alpha. Sneaky, yes....smart, very much so. But not Alpha. Detective Cho on the show is very much the Alpha personality, but he didn't make the 64. But Simon/Patrick is up against a Gleek, so in this first round I'll have to give him the win. Against a better candidate I'm guessing he won't make it much further.

Now for my choice!! Jensen Ackles, all the way! Dean Winchester is ALL Alpha: 100% pure red-blooded, command-n-control, rock-n-roll, deadly kick-ass, focused, full-throttle and formidable. With the good looks and charm enough to smile his way in or out of any situation, or get a girl's number. PLUS he drives a black '67 Chevy Impala, bonus points!! Jared Padalecki (Sam, Dean's brother) is also on the list, but while Sammy in his own right is very Alpha, he has those puppy-dog eyes and a big heart brimming with empathy....so in a head-to-head with his tough guy rebel charmer big brother, Dean's the Alpha dog in that pack.
I'm REALLY hoping Jensen/Dean won't end up against Alex O'Loughlin (McGarrett, Hawaii 5-0). THAT would be a very tough choice, both are Alphas to the extreme. Alex/McGarrett has the leg up for trained military precision death, plus looks sharp in Navy whites; Jensen/Dean can take down terrifying evil, rocks a suit, AND can exorcize a demon if need be. Cars: both hot. Tattoos: yes. McGarrett likes mellow music, Dean likes classic rock and metal. Dean's taste in music has the edge: Dean wins!!
Photos!! Here's Dean as he glares painful death at his grandfather (aka Grandpa Creepy) as he ponders whether to put the bullet in grandpa's head now, or wait until after the monster the gang is Hunting is ganked. ALPHA!!

Dean on a Hunt in a vamp nest, carrying a very large knife (for vamp beheadings) plus more weapons carried on his person: tied to his leg, in his boot, in his jacket inner pocket and tucked into the waistband of his jeans at the small of his back. Deadly weaponized ALPHA!!
