Which is the dullest knife in the drawer???
« on: August 02, 2002, 12:33:50 AM »
Each of you can cast your vote! The nominees are:

Earth to Barnabus: HELLOOOOO, Maggie Evans is NOT the only woman on the face of the earth! There are even some others who CAN be hypnotized!

Adam: Once more, HELLOOOOO, Maggie Evans is NOT the only woman on the face of the earth! You question Barney about everything else, but take his word that the experiment is off without her????

Julia: The stand-by-your-man thing is cute, but not when he is acting dumber than a box of cheese.

Willie, the gallant dork:  So sweet and the ONLY one with the nads to stand up to Barney and protect his gal. (Nicholas would have, but it took a lot more gumption for Willie to do it!) Then, he just walks away and leaves the door open! Ka-thunk is the sound of my hand hitting his head!

Maggie: The amnesiac kidnap victim who has NEVER known who her abductor was. "Why would Barnabus want to hurt ME? He's nice to me!" "Why would you say that someone wants to hurt me, YOU must be CRAZY!" She and Willie were made for each other.

Jeffy Clark: he doesn't even have to be in the episode to be included in this vote. Just because. (Is it ONLY 70 times, I would have sworn he grabbed his head at least that many times in the last show he was on!)

PERSONALLY, I have to go with Maggie on this one.

Gotta go with Jeff.  [sleep]

He has the personality of a wet biscuit.   :P  

His acting range runs the gamut from A to B.  ::)

OOOOOOhhhhhh this is such a toughie.

Despite my admiration for Karlen, I'm going to have to go with Willie on this one. What is that man thinking, if he's thinking at all?? Kidnapping Maggie and taking her to the not-so-secret-anymore room. Like after the danger passes he'll let her loose and she'll simply go back home and say nothing. Why doesn't he simply tell her THE TRUTH? I mean he knows he can't go back to Collinwood now; why not help refresh Maggie's memory of what Barnabas did to her . . . and him? Together they could go to the police and end this nonsense once and for all. Willie could even warn Maggie to beware of a medallion dangling Dr. Hoffman.

Dumb dumb dumb.

I gotta go with Jeff Clark too. He always seems to yell stuff..I don't want to think about what would happen if he had to whisper something. And he alllwwayys grabs his head. LOL I wouldn't have noticed it really if it weren't for the counter but now it stands out like a sore thumb to me. I'm glad Vicki dumped Jeff. At least the other guys on DS can come up with good excuses.

I put in a vote for Jeff Clark

I for one, don't like the charactor, not dishing the actor who plays him.

No kidding!

Willie might as well hold Maggie captive in the Collinsport town square. There's probably fewer people snack dab in the middle of town than at that damned mausoleum...

That place is like Grand Central Station!!

Gotta be Maggie.....(sorry Ringo).

RIGHT NOW, she's behaving so stupidly I could cheerfully slam that inner door in the mausoleum shut and forget she was in there.

She KNOWS Willie, for god's sake.  Get him worked up and he becomes incoherent.  Smile at him and tell him he's sweet for caring about you and he'll melt into a puddle at your feet.  What does she do?  Argues with him, yells at him, tells him she hates him.  And she expects him to respond reasonably and rationally to this?

She was such a sharp cookie in the beginning.  Now she's the Village Idiot.

On the other hand, I don't think it's fair to name Willie in this category at all.  He was always 'half-witted' (Karlen's term) and is simply playing true to character.  At least he's screwing up spectacularly in the most chivalrous cause!!...unlike just about every other male character on screen these days!!

Dear Kuanyin,
You forgot to add the writers to your list. I think at this point, they win the award hands down.
I think the "Making the Best of a Bad Situation Award" has to go to all of those you named. Even Jeff Clark. Nobody could have needed to eat THAT badly.

It only seemed like 70 times. ;) But he did set a new per episode record of 17 times!!!! :o

As to your question - I don't know, I think it's just too close to call. [lghy]

Most definitely Jeff

He couldn't find a clue if they put it in his hair.

It's a tie between Willie and Jeff.

Just as I start to gain some respect for Willie, he goes and blows it.  Such as when he left the door open today, with Maggie right by it.

And when he went down to the basement and was about to stab a DEAD body.  Jeff did that a day or two earlier, so that would place him in the same league.  And I just don't like Jeff to begin with.
