Olivia Wilde: Genre babe of the week #26 (June 2009)

We need more votes! Olivia Wilde CANNOT get below 90%!

[Aragorn]

^ That would be impossible. She'd need 80 more votes and they'd all have to be thumbs up for her score to make it back to 90%.

Will she at least be in the final rounds/bracket?

[Aragorn]

Yeah, 80% has so far been a given to make it into the postseason. 80% is an elite score. 75% was the cutoff point last year where an actress could or could not make it depending on how everyone else in that range did.

Well, I guess that will have to suffice.

Still, she shouldn't be under 90%. I suspect a lot of "sideways" votes were of the "sharp knees"/"overhyped" variety.

Thumbs WAY WAY WAY up!!!!

This woman is pure perfection in the looks department....

[Othello]

I think people doomed it by touting her early success and people voted as a protest vote and brought her rating down...

There were film clips of Olivia Wilde on the GUY CHOICE 2009 special on Spike. She was swimming underwater in one scene. Would anyone know what film the scene is from?

They just get wrinkly and less hot. I think it's a decent enough cutoff for evaluating someone as a 'babe'. Women in their 30s are at a disadvantage compared to women in their 20s.

Looks like that Monty Python retrospective arrived just in time to crown this as the winner in the current TOTY contest.

As for the subject of the poll, yes Olivia Wilde could use a couple of pounds in strategic spots, but she's still pretty damned close to perfect. And in interviews, she seems smart and good-hearted, adding to her hotness.

While your enthusiasm for good-looking women is of course appreciated, I do hope you're not planning on bumping even more Genre Babe threads, especially those that have been inactive for months (like this one). Just to warn you, that sort of thing is generally frowned upon here.
