Maybe they should create lists based on age, e.g, 40+, 31-40, 21-30 etc. Almost all of the girls on this list are either under 20 or just over, what about the TV women that are around the 30-40 mark, who's the sexiest of those?

Clearly we are just saying they are good looking, we aren't so dumb as to say that people who would never have seen them should vote for them.

I think Hayden is the best!!!!!!

I am assuming that Paul Henry has been voting for himself. It must be the ONLY way he would get that many votes...

I must admit, some of those girls really should not be up there... I could think of several girls from Australia and New Zealand tv shows that are better looking.

Have you ever seen Californication? She may not have a pretty face. But she gets buck naked..... woooo mumma.

The girl from the House of Travel ads has a name...

She goes by the name Marvey King but her real name is Tanya Horo. She's a great singer too :)
