Move over, Jillian Harris! These are our picks for the sexiest unmarried ladies on television.
BuddyTV’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelorettes of 2009
We do, Hayden. We do.
After selecting our TV’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelors, we decided that a nailing down of our criteria for such an illustrious list was in order. After all, users were correct to point out, isn’t Nick Jonas, at 16, less of a “bachelor” and more of a “normal teenage dude”? Touche. So, for the ladies, we’ve been more careful.
Here’s how we chose our TV’s 50 Most Eligible Bachelorettes of 2009:
- She’s over 21 years old. That means sorry, Hayden, Miley, Demi, and K Stew fans!
- She’s got no ring (engaged or married) because… well, duh.
- Boyfriends are fair game, but no long-term, super serious significant others. That means sorry, Blake Lively, Evangeline Lilly, Leighton Meester, Rose Byrne, Rachel Bilson (and the list goes on…) fans! For all intents and purposes, they’re taken.
- She’s (most recently or prominently) a TV actress.
Onward to our picks for TV’s hottest single ladies of 2009!
