True Blood’s Top Hottie: Too Close to Call!

Joe Manganiello as Alcide Herveaux

Well, the voting is done, and the results are...inconclusive.

We started out with The Men of True Blood: Bill vs. Eric and The Men of True Blood: Sam vs. Alcide. Your comments crowned the winners of each respective post.

And in The Men of True Blood: Round 2, Eric vs. Alcide, we asked you to vote again. We counted—PAINSTAKINGLY—the votes for which True Blood guy you’d choose to spend a shirtless Sunday night with, and...

Alexander Skarsgard as Eric Northman

The votes were Eric 60, Alcide 59. But some of the votes weren’t decisive, and there was clearly some behind-the-scenes partisan action (we’re looking at you, Charli Mac!), so we have to call it a draw.

Which means you get BOTH of them. You’re welcome.

But while we’re on the subject, are you watching True Blood this season? Do you feel you should deliver a True Blood Ultimatum: Sex or Plot, It’s That Simple? Are you willing to pitch in to a fund to purchase Alcide a shirt? Do you like amnesiac Eric and his mussed-up hair as much as the smooth-stalking vampire of seasons past?

I am not paying for a shirt. Alcide needs to be shirtless--and more-- as often as possible. I do however humbly offer to snuggle him to keep him warm if he gets a bit chilled while all that scrumdillyumpshous hotness is nekkid. :)~

There will be no Alcide Shirt Fund. I may be firmly Team Eric, but any day Joe M. isn't wearing a shirt is a good day.

I have no idea what you are talking about, Megan. ;0

With that being said, I do love a good campaign. Who wouldn't happily get out the vote for that shirtless wonder? And I'd do it again. ;)

In total agreement with these ladies -- esp. Grace! I'll be your shirt, Joe! Sorry I missed the vote, but it would have been a tough one. So I won't weigh in now. But I must answer that question at the end. I LOVE innocent Eric. How do you not love a guy who frolicks in the lake and says "Sorry" so sweetly after sucking your fairy godmother dry!?! I think he'll find a good mix of swagger and sweet when he gets his memory back.

I agree i love Alcide without a shirt but I love Eric all over period. I love him good and I love him bad. Eric makes the show as well as his character in the books. He is the only reason that I am still watching the series!!!!! Eric has the best butt i have seen in ages!!!!!

Quite frankly I could care less whether Alcide is wearing a shirt or not either way he does nothing for me. As for Eric, I love him bad, bold and vicious, I love him sweet, tender and innocent, I love him any way we get him he is what makes the show pop. I agree he does have a world class but.

By the way, when a man holds me I don't want to feel a solid rock wall I like a little softness.

Alcide needs to stay shirtless since the poor guy can't act worth a damn. He got the pretty, but not the talent. Still, even if he is just window dressing, he looks good, BUT, my heart belongs to Eric. Something about his presence on the screen is electrifying. He doesn't have to say much of anything, but when he is in the scene, I can't take my eyes off of him.
