Another extended poll has come to a close and once again I'm surprised by the amazing turnout (192 votes in all). I'm definitely not surprised by the results however...

Favorite Duo?
Marcus and Krista: 38% (73)
Blade and Krista: 24% (46)
Chase and Krista: 18% (34)
Blade and Shen: 11% (21)
Marcus and Chase: 8% (15)
Charlotte and Thorne: 2% (3)
Total Votes : 192

With Marcus and Krista topping all favorite character polls, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see them top the favorite duo poll. I think I was actually a little surprised that they didn't win by an even larger margin. I was also surprised to see Blade and Krista get a considerable amount of votes as my impressions were that many didn't care for that pairing much (though I'm glad to be proven wrong as I did enjoy their back and forth quite a bit).

I actually voted for the pair that I was reluctant to include - Krista and Chase. I wasn't really sure if I should include them because people may just vote for the "girl on girl" aspect. I then realized that that really isn't a fair poll then if I restrict it because of that so I decided to add them. While I definetly enjoyed the semi erotic vampire play between the two, it was what they brought out of each other that really grabbed me. Krista brought out the jealous vengeful side of Chase, a side of her that was incredible to watch. Chase brought out the fiesty, strong willed and confident side of Krista. Chase challenged Krista and Krista was always up for it, whether it was to prove her new vampiric passions or two demonstrate her loyalties.

There were some clear standouts in the character pairings, but they all offered some great differences that kept the show moving along at a quick, yet involved pace. The play between all the characters was truly one of the best parts of the show.

Thanks to all who voted and keep an eye out Thursday for the next poll.
