Best Couple - Semi-Final

[Aaron]

Due to the large amount of nominations, we must do this semi-final polling to determine which books will actually be in the running for the final voting. There are only ten slots available on the ballot (board restrictions) and we have twelve couples in this category that met the minimum requirements. Those books with more than three nominations will be moving forward automatically.

They are:

Scott and Lisey Landon (Lisey's Story)
Roland and Rosalita (Wolves of the Calla)
Mike and Mattie (Bag of Bones)

Of the following books only seven will advance to final voting, based on the scoring in this poll. Please choose who your top pick is from those listed. This poll will close in one week.

Eddie and Susannah Dean (DT2 - DT7)
Roland Deschain and Susan Delgado(Wizard and Glass)
Ralph Roberts and Lois Chasse (Insomnia)
Ben Hanscom and Beverly Marsh (IT)
Bobby Garfield and Carol Gerber (Hearts in Atlantis)
Ben Mears and Susan Norton ('Salem's Lot)
Stu Redman and Frannie Goldsmith(The Stand)
Johnny Smith and Sarah Bracknell (The Dead Zone)
Alan Pangborn and Polly Chalmers (Needful Things)

I'm sticking with Ralph and Lois. :couple:

I'd be tempted to pick Eddie & Susannah, but like I've said previously...

...if that is a different Eddie in Central Park, it cheapens the whole thing for me, as if Susannah settled for the consolation prize.

[Heather19]

Ben & Bev

[jayson]

Heather picked from It. That's shocking. :lol:

[Heather19]

I know, I bet no one was expecting that. :lol:

[Chap]

Eddie and Susannah, because of all those books - I've only read the DT ones...
(and I found Susan annoying)

[Ruthful]

I voted for Alan and Polly.

Ben and Beverly were great characters, but I didn't get enough about their "couple" relationship to really have an opinion about it. Plus, the two people that do end up happily ever after forget their childhood/early adulthood which I had just spent 1100 pages reading about.

[Unfound One]

Ralph and Lois. :thumbsup:

[Jean]

still can't choose between Eddie/Susannah, Ben/Beverly and Stu/Fran.......

[flaggwalkstheline]

I voted Roland and susan delgado

I'm reading the tommyknockers right now n i think if we had a vote for most screwed up relationship then Bobby and Gard would win:P alcohol and aliens:onfire:

[SpaceMaN]

bobby and carol

[alinda]

Too hard to choose:orely:

[Jon]

We missed Randell Flagg and Nadine Cross from The Stand. Oh well. I just always like the bad guys.

I especially like the bad girls.

[Jean]

You should have nominated them.

I'm voting Stu and Frannie

[alinda]

After much deliberation, and not too much surprise I find myself agreeing with Jean again.
Stu and Frannie get the vote. Ralph and Lois come in right after them.:rock:

[obscurejude]

Damnit Alinda, Ralph and Lois just needed one more vote to tie. :nope:
:)

[Melike]

Alan and Polly.

[ManOfWesternesse]

Ralph & Lois.

[Jean]

and now all my favorite couples have tied at 5!

[jayson]

Ralph & Lois.

Hooray Brian. You just put them ahead in the race!:clap:

[Jon]

You should have nominated them.

I'm voting Stu and Frannie

I second that! Frannie was like Eve!

[Matt]

Close one! :thumbsup:

[Jon]

Funny. With 3 couples tied at 6...that's 666! :panic::panic:

[Aaron]

Okay. It looks like all will be advancing except Ben Mears/Susan Norton and Johnny Smith/Sarah Bracknell. The final will go up next week.
