But what has he won, really? Well, pretty much the hatred, disgust and frustration of many. The rolling eyes and frowns when he graces our screens. The urge to write Joss Whedon some good ole' fandom hate mail. That's right, by a slim margin of only 5 votes against Warren, "The Worst of the Lot" is:
Connor (no real last name)!
(also known as Connor Angel, Steven Franklin Thomas Holtz, Connor Reilly and The Destroyer)
As a child of two dead people, Angel and Darla (also no last names), Connor's birth is an impossible one, despite being prophesied, and concerns much of the show's third season. From his parents he has inherited many vampire-like powers and abilities. After the infant's painful estrangement from his father, he returns toward the end of the third season as an emotionally inexperienced and mentally unstable teenager who has grown up in a hell dimension and harbors resentment toward Angel.
Later, he had sex with Angel's love interest at that time, Cordelia Chase, whose body, unbeknownst to Connor, was actually being inhabited by the morally ambiguous fallen goddess Jasmine. This results in a mystical pregnancy birthing Jasmine herself, but not after a little kidnapping and murder of an innocent virgin to make it happen! By the end of Season 4 he was a faithful servant of Jasmine but finally had to kill her as well, which sends Connor down a twisted path of mass murder/suicide by bomb. In the end, Angel had to make a deal with the evil Wolfram & Hart to save Connor by killing him and raping the minds of everyone in the series, as he felt he had no other choice. Yay! (Read more about Connor, not that you'd want to from these results, here)
Connor is played by Vincent Kartheiser, who is currently playing another douche on the series Mad Men along with fellow Whedonverse alum Christina Hendricks.

Thanks so much to everyone who played this year's March Madness! We'll have another tourney in the fall for September Silliness, it's tradition now.
Holy shazbot! It's the end, but the moment has been well prepared for... by poll daddy. Sidebar: poll daddy is a number one jam.
So this is it, the dirty dos. In two days we'll know, through the extremely scientific mode that is fan polling, who the worst of the worst in the Whedonverse is. Before we get there though, let's reveal two folks who got the call from the governor just before we could pull the switch.
Kathy Newman - You really went the distance, didn't you? You're a testament to just how much people hate cohabitation with Celine Dion fans. Lesson learned: French Canadians are the devil. Parker - I will never have sex with you, Parker. Your eyebrows filled me with rage. Get out of here before me and Buffy bust out the caveman clubs.
Here we go. It's the dude with no skin vs. the dude who has sex with his dad's cast-offs. Who will get an honorary degree in horribleness. Cast your vote and make it count!

If you're just landing here now, you've arrived at the final week of our March Madness tournament. One week from today, we'll know who is the Worst of the Lot.

We've been giving out randomized pairings of characters from Joss Whedon shows: Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse and Dr. Horrible and will be for the rest of the month. So if the character sucks in your opinion, vote for them.
In the last half of Round 3, we found out that the following people have been saved from fandom hatred:
Sahjhan Ted - This was a close one, but in the end, good cooking skills always wins out. Electric Gwen Linwood Murrow Ubervamps - Who knew the son of 2 vamps is hated so much more than vamps that are uber? Kennedy - This is a surprise! I guess skank beats out bitch. Holland Manners Dawn - Get out, get out, get out!!!!!!!!!!!!

In part 3, we found out that the following people have been saved from fandom hatred:
-Dr Horrible (of course, he's way more loved than Halfrek) -Ethan Rayne -Simon -Willow (but shockingly she did get 21 votes against Cassie Newton!) -Wes -Doc barely made it, but he did. Apparently Jesse is more hated. -River is loved only slightly more than Illyria. So River is safe but I think Illyria will only last another round...especially since she's against Whistler, who apparently everyone hates (see below). -Caleb is also safe! I'm surprised people hate Whistler, a voice of the PTB, more than Caleb! Scandal! -Principal Wood, in the closest match of the round, is more loved than Moist by just a few votes. Poor Moist. -Mr. Trick -Larry -The Judge (of all people!) -Victor beat Echo for the fan's love -Anya is safe, Penny is more hated!! -Quentin Travers -and finally, Dracula...who prolly wouldn't have been saved if he wasn't against The Beast.

With all the *other stuff* going on in the 'verse this week, the tourney might be a bit skewed. Let's try to put current issues aside and ask ourselves: who does this fandom despise most? A character so lame, so annoying, we just wish never existed at all? At the end of this ambitious month long journey, we'll know for sure. Over the next 4 weeks we will give out computer-generated randomized pairings of characters from Joss Whedon shows: Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dr. Horrible and Dollhouse.

One year ago we challenged the fandom to a lethal tourney. The goal? Find out the fan favorite character of the entire Whedonverse. Buffy reigned champ there, by the way, followed EXTREMELY closely by Spikey-poo.With that behind us (along with a heated Favorite Episode Tourney 6 months later), we thought we'd flip the script this time and try to find the opposite....the most hated character of them all. And so we give you March Madness: The Worst of the Lot.
Well, we all have our favorite most beloved characters, but who do we most despise? A character so lame, so annoying, we just wish never existed at all.
