Most Despised RA Leading Lady

Ta-da! Not as clear-cut beforehand than I thought. I mean, Marian is THIRD? That's a bit of a surprise, surely! I thought she'd be at least two, and that the battle would be between her and Sarah, but instead, it's Sarah and Alona. Go fig! So, in keeping with tradition, here's a picture... the extended version, you might say:


Sarah Cauldron Cauliflower Caulfield, bound and gagged
...not by Lucas, but hey, can't have it all.
He totally would've done it eventually.
Surely.

Here's one of many grating moments:


And for number two, we're Alonagain, naturally...
with another grating moment, woo!


Pinned to the wall of shame:

Sarah Caulfield, Spooks 76 (64%)
Alona Cunningham, Between the Sheets 12 (10%)
Marian, Robin Hood 11 (9%)
Isabella of Gisborne, Robin Hood 7 (5%)
Ellie Morgan, Moving On 5 (4%)
Carol Bolton, Sparkhouse 2 (1%)
Fannie Thornton, North and South 2 (1%)
Kath, Frozen 2 (1%)
Ivy Ridgeway, Malice Aforethought 0 (0%)
Madeleine Cranmere, Malice Aforethought 0 (0%)

Thanks to everyone who voted! Hope you had fun with the RA Fanstravaganza. Perhaps we'll have another one next year, if not before? :) Thanks to Nat at RA Fan Blog for the organisation and to Maria at FLY HIGH! for coming up with the idea. It's been great fun to read everyone's posts, polls and comments. And thanks to all the other participants, who have their results up as well:

    Great work on the Fanstravaganza Traxy!
    Also, these clips are good. Sarah Caulfield was very sinister, heartless and cold in this clip. I never understood what he saw in her, that's why this relationship was the worst!
    As for Alona Cummingham (interesting name for her character, don't you think!) I don't understand why people didn't like her. I think her reactions as the cheated on wife are spot on, and she does have more insight into these things being a "relationship" counsellor. Her husband hasn't been performing his "husbandly" duties for 7 months (!), he's accused of having an affair with a young girl (his client), and he lies to her about it....I'd be a bit bitchy myself!!

    Thanks, phylly3! :) You've got a very good point about Alona, although if we are to believe Paul when he swears he hasn't had an affair, she's a bit bitchy, because why won't she believe him? Still, I thought Marian would come in second!

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
