Did you hear about the latest controversy concerning Entertainment Weekly’s couples poll and a certain Teen Wolf fanbase that wasn’t too pleased? Well, John Barrowman of Doctor Who and Torchwood fame is here to give you a little history, his thoughts, and a brand new poll!
EW thought it would be a good idea to run various polls and have readers vote for their favorite characters in different categories. One such category was named, “Couple You’re ‘shipping Like Crazy.” Hundreds of Sterek fans wrote in to try to get the duo on the ballot. EW disregarded the votes, saying that they weren’t an actual potential couple on the show and so didn’t belong in the poll.
We’ll let Captain Jack Harkness explain the rest:
Now, Teen Wolf didn’t walk away empty handed. They won the “Most disturbing image” award for that scene when the snake came out of Jackson’s eye. Derek also won them a “Special Achievement in Shirtlessness, Non-Olympian Class” award.
But better yet, EW also gave Teen Wolf an honorable mention as the “Most Die-Hard Fanbase,” saying they deserve it for “mounting a truly impressive effort to nominate Stiles and Derek in the Summer TV couple they’re ‘shipping like crazy category” and for securing two additional awards, even besting True Blood‘s Joe Manganiello in the process!
