Poll: TV’s Hottest Couple
Got a sexy TV couple that you love to ship?
When it comes to on-screen chemistry, there’s no denying these devoted pairs are heating up every scene they share. But who’s the ultimate, undeniable duo with a love that will transcend beyond the bedroom and endure to the end?
We chose 10 couples who we believe always smolder (and sizzle) on the small screen. Give us your opinion by taking our poll below to vote, and the winner will be announced in a future issue of TV Guide Magazine.

Yes Rick and Michonne they have such a good everything. . Olivia and Jake TV guide really. I didn't know physical mental emotional and sexual abuse was sexy.
14
-
B
Rick and Michonne!!!!!!!
tviInsider, Olivia and Jake are not a couple and sorry but they have absolutely NO CHEMISTRY at all. Scott Foley is a terrible actor, good person but terrible actor. I guess his agent must have contacted you all. haha.
14
-
C
I like Scott Foley and think he's a great actor but hate what the writers have done to the Jake character. I seriously used to root for Olake to find love in the sun together but this season has turned me totally off Olake as a couple and Jake and Liv as individual characters. Thank goodness I have Richonne. Note to Shonda- Richonne is what a true pairing looks like. Two people who love and respect each other, have each others backs no matter what, don't play highschool games, and can stand the test of time.
4
-
B
Agree. The couples on Scandal do not really love, respect and support each other since S2. It's just all for sex and ratings and OMG moments. Rick and Michonne is what love and support is all about. Not this 'I don't need a man or I'm a big dog' or whatever faux feminism Shonda Rhimes is trying to promote on Scandal.

What is it about Liv that you think Jake being abusive towards her is hot? You're lucky Shonda agrees. The low ratings are proof of how hot the audience finds them.

Rooting for Richonne. They deserve and need a cover 100%.
10

B
I don't think the winning couple gets to be on the cover...they just get a mention/are featured in the issue. That would be awesome, though, if Richonne won and got the cover!

G
Easily Richonne.

-
P
Have you watched Scandal? Jake choked Olivia & gave her a concussion. Shonda's obsession with Scott Foley is the ONLY reason Jake is on the show. She tries to make his ass relevant by making him Olivia's human vibrator.
9
-
C
What Season/eppy was that when Jake choked Olivia out? I can't remember.
-
B
The very first night they slept together when Olivia discovered he had been filming her. That's my recollection of when it happened.
-
-
P
But of course . . . . RICHONNE.
8

O
Rick and Michonne of course.

Olivia & Jake aren't a couple. They are fuck buddies with zero chemistry.

Rick and Michonne! The ultimate TV Power Couple and what isn't sexy about that? Richonne is definitely the hottest thing on our screens right now.

Would love to have seen Sally Ann and Hasil from WGN America's "Outsiders" on here. Sasil are so cute.
As for people calling Olitz fans 'bitter,' that still doesn't mean Olitz fans aren't right even if ALSO deservedly bitter. One doesn't negate the other and it's not like the ratings are backing up Scandal as a fan paradise since it's return in February. Shonda said if folks don't like what's going on, then stop watching. Look how many took her advice. Guess there are more vitriolic viewers who left than shippers who stayed cause they like what's been onscreen the past 6 months.

I wish I could upvote this a thousand times.

Sasil is adorable. And Olake is complete trash but I'm over it.

Jake & Olivia?? LOL! They have absolutely no chemistry!

Castle and Beckett !!

My heart is warmed to know that the same people who love Richonne hate Olake. You are my people.

I voted for Jamie and Claire, but now that I know they already have a cover, I'm kind of wishing I voted for Richonne. And btw, Olake is trash. Really gross, rancid trash. lol

Olicity is the best couple !

Bitter Olitz fans are the WORSE!

O
Whoops... *worst*
-
P
This goes well beyond 'Olitz' fans.
I voted for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, and haven't watched Scandal in ages, but when I was watching, Jake made a sex tape of Olivia, threatened to kill her and choked her. Calling that hot is a making light of domestic violence.
And its wrong.
Whatever shipper wars you're engaged in shouldn't blind you to that.

Jamie and Claire without question are the hottest couple on television in my opinion.

What? Olivia and Jake? This makes no sense... the title is "TV's hottest couple", they stay being the least hottest couple on TV.

Where is the poll? I have been on this site a hundred times and cannot find the poll. Jamie and Claire are the hottest couple on television. Why am I unable to vote for them?
1
-
C
I cannot find where to vote on this page. My votes would all go to Sam Heughan but there is no place to vote.
1

R
Richard castle & Katherine Beckett *-*
1

C
I don't see where to vote, but If I could vote, it would be for Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe as Jamie and Claire Fraser. My favorite show on television and by far my favorite couple.
1
-
G
Jamie /Sam and Claire /Caitriona are the hottest couple , they are so sexy in their love scenes they are made for each other
1
-
B
anyone who thinks it is anyone but Jamie & Claire (Sam & Catronia) has never seen the show
1

O
Exactly. They're simply the best.

R
Jamie & Claire all the way!!!
1

Extremely disappointed that you did not include anyone from Once Upon A Time, especially Hook and Emma who recently just won a poll with half a million votes. A lot of us are very disappointed with your exclusion of one of the most popular tv ships.

shhh. stop complaining. They don't have to be in every poll.

The most interesting and romantic couple on TV right now is Hasil Farrell and Sally Ann; WGN America's " OUTSIDERS."

Oliver and Felicity
Olicity all the way!!

There is very little that is hot about a relationship that is based on manipulative sex, lies, & video tape. Oh and physical abuse so Olake is out. *Claire & Jamie

Jamie and Claire - for the adults in the audience...

Jamie and Claire! Their sex scenes are also smokin'...

How would people who boycotted a certain show months ago even come across this poll to complain about the same old same old anyway if they've 'lost interest'?
1
-
C
Cause the watch great shows like The Walking Dead.
5
-
B
You do see there are other shows on the list?
A lot of us are The Walking Dead Fans and Richonne fan -- so why wouldn't we be here?
1
-
R
It's fine that you believe that but I can assure you that that is not the reason they are here, they didn't come here for TWD
-
O
Plenty of former Scandal fans have started getting into TWD and Outlander couples. You see it on twitter and tumblr.
-
-
C
No B&B from Bones? No else to vote for.
1
-
P
My first reaction. Don't get my wrong, I love a lot of the couples there, but, B&B would win hands down
1
-
O
lol that ship made me stop watching the show.
-
-
P
Why is there no information? When did this start? When does poll end? Can you vote more than once? Where are the scores? Blind voting is not a desirable way to vote for anyone, turns away many voters. It isn't fun way to vote with no competition
1
-
R
Voting ends 4/11/16. The winning couple will be announced in TV Guide Magazine and on TV Insider soon!
-
-
G
Castle &Beckett
1

G
Rick is not even with Michonne in the source material! Jamie and Claire, no question.
-
G
THE FRASERS FTW!!
-
O
They missed the hottest couple - Jack and Elizabeth from Hallmark's "When Calls the Heart"
-
R
Olicity
-
O
Its most definitely, positively Jamie and Claire!
Time travel historical mystical romance should beat rotting walkers any day. It's an all encompassing smoking hot love story between two people that would sacrifice anything for the other. What could be hotter than a roll in the grass with a hunky man in a kilt?
-
B
Castle and Beckett!!
-
O
Castle-the best
-
O
Olicity Oliver&Felicity Forever Vote Vote Vote yeah!!!!!!

Castle and Beckett!

P
Love Olivia and Jake....
-
O
I guess I'm not with the majority here. I must admite I don't know who Rick and Michonne are or what series they are in! Give me CASTLE & BECKETT, ~ALWAYS~!!!
-
G
Jason and Alicia, I will ALWAYS vote for Jeffrey Dean Morgan aka Papa Winchester.
-
P
#Olicity es la mejor pareja del mundo 😍🎯💓👓👌💏💑
-
O
Olicity. Duh.
-
O
I'm just going to have to say it...Rick and Michonne???? Really?? Why would anyone think it was sexy or hot that he passed her over for Jessie when he could have chosen Michonne in the first place? Sorry that's not hot. She deserves better. Think about it.
-
O
Without a doubt its Jamie and Claire! A love that transcends time...come on people. The sizzling, steamy, hot and romantic love scenes that nearly melt the television. The passionate romantic things that Jamie says and does for Claire. The brutal honesty between them. There is nothing else that even comes close on any of the other shows. ❤❤❤

G

-
G
richonne duh
-
C
Love OLAKE on Scandal because it's at least TWO FLAVAS. I find one flava couples so boring. hey're like one scoop of ice cream.
-
O
Two flavas are mental and physical abuse. It's all Shonda's fault for making that romantic when her actor is a spokes woman for abuse. I guess trying to be a Titan is more important #purplepurse
2
-
-
O
Just a heads up the crazy terry shippers (People who believe olitz is real) on tumblr caught wind of this poll, they're complaining about it over there and coming here to flood the comments section. Grow up, if people want to ship Olivia and an alien from Venus they can. Live and let people live, complaining isnt going to change the fact that olake has been a thing people have shipped for 3 years now. You dont get it? Oh well, You dont like it? Too bad! You cant control what people like. My God a bunch of 40 year old children.
-
O
The truth is the truth. Glorifying a disgusting and abusive relationship is just wrong. You all should be ashamed. tvinsider should be ashamed. Smdh
2
-
C
Well choking me out and me landing in the hospital is a flava I can do without.
2
-
R
does anything you say here negate the fact that Olake is a pile of doodoo. I don't really care what the terrys believe, these people are married to other people so you coming on here discussing tumblr is rediculous. What is more rediculous are people shipping Olake, Olake is disgusting.
-
-
G
I love several of these, so hard to choose.
-
R
It's the same sad old bitter women in that Scandal fandom who come here to talk smack all the time. And why are Alex and Piper on here?
-
O
Calling people names will not change the fact the Olake is trash. Sorry I know it's not your fault they are trash.
1
-
R
And forcing an unnecessary attitude at me isn't going to change the fact that you're one of these sad old bitter women in talking about. Also, what exactly suggests I'm an Olake fan? Because I said something about the rude people in the Scandal fandom? That's all you went off on? Wow, if I was superficial as you are, I don't know how I'd cope in this world. For your information, I came here to vote for Bow and Dre from Black-ish and just so happened to stumble across the rude yet pathetic and childish comments from the same people I've seen comment on a few other Scandal articles and reviews online. You're only mad because you're one of these sad old bitter women who can't handle the truth, that's why you're pressed about my comment, the truth hurts 🙂
-
O
Ok lady you are the one who sounds bitter and angry. That's a long post sorry I lost interest half way through.
