The CW Source

I know this poll has been closed and all, but I just had to count how many times the big 5 shows were nominated so far (with of course this week's nominations as well)

Here's the count:

Supernatural : 6
Reaper : 8
Gossip Girl : 8
Smallville : 9
One Tree Hill : 10

Now... one question still remains : how can this be called fair?

To Jackie, Catalina, Mia and the whole CW Source Crew:

Allow me to add my Thanks and Appreciation for this blog and for your ongoing efforts to give fans info on their favorite shows, as well as some fun activities to help pass the time during hiatus. The popularity of this blog is a great avenue for promotion for all the CW shows.

The “Sourcies” are supposed to be a fun little summer excursion. Unfortunately, something is “off” this year, and it started off on the wrong foot from the start. I realize you are doing your best to come up with unique categories and give a fair chance to all the CW shows. But a pattern has already emerged: anytime you have OTH and SN in the same category, it will come down to a battle between those two. If the category has only one of them, it will be a landslide. If you want to give other CW shows a chance to shine, then keep these heavyweights out of the category. And yes, Supernatural fans are a =little= sensitive when they perceive unfairness to their show considering that the real CW has treated it like the unwanted and annoying stepchild in the family. At the slightest perception of unfairness, they lash out at you not realizing that you are NOT the actual CW, but an affiliate station. The way to counterbalance any attacks of unfairness is to ensure that all the shows have an equal opportunity and representation... if OTH showed up as a choice in 10 Sourcies, then SN needs to be in 10, as does Gossip Girl, and Reaper, and etc.

And you are perfectly correct when you say that you don’t mind criticism as long as it’s =constructive= rather than mean-spirited. Please, just take the constructive ones to heart and do not take the negative attacks personally. Keep up the good work in continuing to cover our favorite shows. And thanks again!!

shouldn't this poll be closed now?

not cool! supernatural should've been in this sourcie and i stand by that to the freakin end! haha i saw this comment on this sourcie on youtube and wow, they are right. oth is going to get 5 and supernatural only has 5 partially because they were not included in this sourcie.

i hope there is that 'thanks for having my back, bro' or w/e title is going to be here tomorrow. cuz i desperately think that the supernatural has not been given their fair share of sourcies. cough* same with aliens in america, life is wild, etc.

and someone here said that they were ashamed to be a supernatural fan. despite if some of the supernatural fans voiced out their opinions 'like it is' shouldn't make you ashamed.

i feel bad that the people behind the sourcies are getting so much negative review, but that can't really be helped when a lot of people see the oth 9/13 sourcies, smallville 8/13, and gossip girl 8/13. yes and supernatural only got 5!

yeah its hard making teh sourcies, but there's definite room for improvement when this category seems to scream sueprnatural's winchester brothers. and well, i can't shake this feeling that supernatural is going to lose the sourcies title this year because they weren't given enough chances.

This is the Erin that has been responding to you. I just realized there are more than one Erin and you were talking to a different one. LOL

nathaniel-

This seems like a big case of misinterpretation I thought that what you had in quotes was what you were saying to me. Did you think that I had posted that?

to erin

lol i thought u were saying that supernatural fans are being unreasonable here, which i can say they are entirely reasonable in every way.

haha sorry, i'm a salt gunner all the way. i'm just kinda irritated at how many chances oth gets (misinterpreted what u said, and i apologize) and supernatural? only 5. don't really enjoy this years sourcies.

but i did last yr, for what thats worth

It seems harsh when the show can't even catch a break on a site dedicated to CW programmes, in a category that seems tailored for it. I've read explanations for the omission and I still honestly don't get it. This is no way meant to cast aspersions on the work that people here put into the site, I am just genuinely perplexed.

nathaniel-

The only reason I am saying anything is because Supernatural has nothing to be grateful for because the CW ignores the show entirely in favor of anything else. If you are a One Tree Hill fan that's fine, but your show actually gets advertised and isn't in the hardest spot of the entire line up. I like to see whatever show you are a fan of go there.

This isn't about Supernatural, but more about the fact that it seemed very hypocritical for them to say they wanted other shows to shine, but One Tree HIll has obviously taken it.

Thanks for your comment anyways. I'm not mad; I just like to debate. Well, I get mad, but I'm calm now.

to Erin

'SPN fans. Stop being so rude and ungrateful for everything.'

you are just saying that cuz oth has been given a huge handful of sourcies. try putting yourself in someone else's shoes

Hi! I was one of the first people to post on here (July 25th) and have only just read some of the other comments since and was totally aghast by what some people have written (and these are the ones that made it through, I can't imagine what some other emails have been like - whoa!). I know there are a lot of Supernatural fans out there (me included) but I'd like to remind everyone that this is meant to be "fun" and the guys at the CW Source do an incredible job at promoting Supernatural, just look at all the cool videos we get to see - you won't find them anywhere else! So breathe people and look at the BIG picture please ........
I personally would like to commend the CW Source as I love to read all the tidbits they have and the great podcasts and interviews, keep up the great work you guys! :-)
THANK YOU CW SOURCE!!!

I'm sorry you are upset, but as a fan that has watched the CW constantly ignore Supernatural in favor, of well, anything else it hurts to see a site that is usually so balenced seem to ignore Supernatural as well. The reason Supernatural fans are so devoted is because we have to be or it feels like we would lose the show. The fact that you put Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill in which are very popular shows and claimed that other shows could shine was what annoyned me because everyone knows now One Tree Hill is going to win.

I wouldn't have cared that it wasn't included if it hadn't been the category that it was. A category made for Supernatural which is about the ties that bind and is always about family because Bobby isn't family by blood. If this was one of the hookup categories I could care less, but it was a category that goes to the heart of Supernatural.

I think one of the first steps towards making the Sourcies fun again is to allow multiple voting.

It would make them less intense and give everyone something to do besides making comments.

Something that so often happens when things are written instead of spoken it that the real meaning or intend is misunderstood. Unfortunately, this is what seems to be happening with the Sourcies this year.

I’m sure most people didn’t mean for their comments to hurtful, nasty or mean, but they came across that way. I’m equally sure the folks doing the Sourcies didn’t mean for some of the categories to come off looking rigged or insulting and questioning the people’s knowledge of the shows involved. But that’s also what’s happening.

It seems unfair to blame all this on one fan base. Just because the SN fans are the most vocal doesn’t mean they are the only ones feeling the Sourcies are off this year and not coming across the way the folks in Sourceland meant them too. It almost feels like one group of people picked the name of the categories and another one picked the clips and now they are somehow trying to force them together. I believe that most of the comments being made here began by questioning that logic and unfortunately grew from there.

OMG did everyone seriously just get mad over this over Supernatural
lol
I love the show
but when I read the Each of these guys was willing to sacrifice something big in the name of friendship
I was like oh that is why Supernatural isn't in this
cause Sam and Dean are Brothers
not friends
so I understand
this just makes me laugh
sorry if you gals at the cw source got the heat from everyone
you don't deserve it
Supernatural fans can be a tad bit over protective of the show
lol

To the CW sourcie crew,

I can understand when you argue that the complaints are no encouragement or even hurtful but it certainly was not a wise decision to create a sourcie category that screams SPN, not include SPN and to make it worse explain why you choose to not include SPN and to call Armaggedon upon yourself, you conclude with "give other shows a chance to shine".

I was happy about the first non-love sourcie, I was even happier when I read the cool title, I was excited which SPN scene you picked, I was confused not to find SPN and I was crushed by the explainer.
Seriously what did you expect when you created this sourcie? I mean, everybody knew Jensen will be back, after Dean died, but still it took several days until a part of the fandom calmed down.

All of you certainly do a great job with this blog and it certainly is a lot work and fans should show more love and appreciation but if you mess with the show, the brothers or don't appreciate the show you will get in trouble. Anybody who created a similar poll, wrote a comment about SPN like you did, would get many angry comments.
I mean Kripke knew what he was doing when he added the love-interest into the description of the new female character just to annoy fans.

To the CW crew:
I just want to appologize if my words offended you .It was not my intention. I do appreciate your work and I know how difficult must be to cope with all these reactions we have.
I guess, like everybody here, felt that it is unfair not put Supernatural in a cathegory where the show really belongs.
Maybe it was better if you wouldn't put that explication note. That was the trigger of all this "word fight".
Anyway, thanks for all the work you did and looking forward for the next sourcies.
PS: I still think Bobby is the master of "dude, I got your back!" but because SPN is not an option to this poll I'll vote for the other Sam, from Reaper.

Jackie,

I apologize sincerely if I have hurt you. And I appreciate you taking time to respond to these comments. You're right about one thing, you can never please everyone. But there's always room for improving, right? ;)

I'm not going to change my opinion, I still think if you saw no reason to include a SPN scene then you shouldn't have written that note. According to one of these posts there will be a Thanks For Having My Back, Bro! moment poll ahead of us. If that's true and you wanted to include a note, maybe you should've mentioned that, or what do you think? I don't know. The title of this poll just screams Winchester loud and clear, I guess that's why many of us were disappointed to find out there wasn't a SPN scene included.

To fans who are ashamed of our fandom: All of us don't freak out every time SPN gets a new female character or whatever some people think we do. I've met many intelligent and polite SPN fans. The things I've seen a SPN fan doing for a fellow fan make me feel proud to be a part of this fandom.

Chuck/Nate are totally sexy but I had to vote for Lucas/Mouth. Even though Mouth is totally frustrating sometimes, everyone wishes they had a friend like him.

SPN fans. Stop being so rude and ungrateful for everything.

to the cw people who handle the sourcies,

yikes! there's a lotta negative fan review here about this sourcie, but i believe that most have moved past it (as i have, to tell the truth, i was somewhat angry that supernatural was included and therefore just created a landslide for oth). but the sourcies are still fun! i still love em, and they really do keep my mind off incessantly obsessing over dean being in hell! so please don't cancel em, or do one a week (i love 2 a week!)

as catalina said, there are going to be more sourcies with the winchesters, so i'm happy and i can live past this 'dude, i got your back.' and the 'first time hook-up,' was totally hot xD jared padalecki is always hot, no matter who he's with. it was just the bela-haters backlash, and she's got tons o those.

haha all i'm saying, is that don't take these comments close to your hearts (which i'm pretty sure you guys are otherwise u wouldn't have responded). i know a friend that posted something saying like 'is year sourcie is RIGGED!' and now he's thinking he shouldn't have written that (someone said something similar to his video on youtube). maybe it was just the initial anger about the sourcie that led people to typing in a lot of insulting things that really didn't mean to come out.

take it to heart that many people love supernatural and are willing to defend it (which is awesome if you ask me) without looking back. so maybe that could explain a cause of some of the insulting.

but its all fine, since we'll be back with a new sourcie tomorrow right? ;)

-a true saltgunner

OK, I'm gonna try to be a voice of reason on this one. The CW (I understand that really has nothing to do with you guys) Has treated SN so badly over the last 3 years (severe lack of promotion being the biggest problem)that some of the fans have become a bit oversensitive (Me being one on quite a few occasions). A lot of us see things like the note on why SN wasn't included in this category are taken as an attack on our show. I understand that it wasn't meant to be, but that's just how it was taken. I also believe that with or with out the note this fight would've broken out anyway because of the title of this category, it may have not have been as bad but it still would've happened.

As for others saying they are ashamed to call themselves fans of SN because of this, such comments only add to the fighting. I myself am proud to call myself a fan of Supernatural no matter what. I'm sorry to say that people think SN fans are crazy cause a lot of us are and will admit to exactly that. If you ever visit the Supernatal message board on the official CW site you would understand a little better. Some of the fights that have broken out over there have been epic in proportions and then there's the threads that are meant to be just plain nuts in general like the Demon Newsletter and so on.

Thank you Jackie, Catalina, Mia, and everyone else who works on this blog. It may not seem like it now, but we all really do appreciate your hard work.

to the CW, I think the most important categorys is about family, Sam, Dean, Bobby, he's the second dad, and friendship, and the show like the special effect but not about love, they're a lot of girls. They is a lot of friends or was, my best was Hendriskson, I hope you don't take bad. It's not a angry comm it's only what's I think. I speak French sorry for my bad english.

To the the sourcies crew, I'd like to say that I appreciate all the work that goes into maintaining the blog and bringing us the sourcies. It was never my - or, I think, any other fan's - intention to be hurtful or abusive in anyway.

However.

You say the sourcies are meant to be fun but on the flipside, they're also meant to be fair. Yes, it may be a time consuming task, but you chose to do them, so you should, in my opinion, at least be doing them fairly.

So you've come up with new categories - which by the way, are great - but you really should have included all the shows that fit each category. That's what all the fuss is about. You have this Dude, I've got your back category and you should have included all the shows that have a Dude, I've got your back moment. The fact that Supernatural will be nomimated in a future similar category is irrelevant. Or should be.

As a Supernatural fan I don't expect or want the show to be in every poll, It would be nice, however, if it were represented in the categories it qualifies for. Otherwise what's the point? Just skip the categories and have one "best show" poll and determine the winner from that.

I totally agree with Stacie. Some of y'all are being totally bitchy to the people who work so hard to do something for us. They don't HAVE to do the Sourcies at all. They do it because they want to be nice to the fans of ALL of the CW's shows.

I love Supernatural, but y'all are being very bad representatives of our fandom. It's no wonder everyone thinks we're insane.

"As for my note about SN not being included that several of you have called me out on, maybe I shouldn’t have included it. I figured SN fans wouldn’t be happy that their show wasn’t included, so I wanted to provide some justification."

I agree with everyone on this and I do agree with you as well when you say you shouldn't have included it... OR maybe you could justify every time time why all the other shows are not nominated...

I know where this is going... the next 3-4, maybe even 5 sourcies will have Supernatural nominated just because everyone thinks you're pushing Supernatural down but that's not the point... Please just continue the nominations as you would have before this war got out, and next time, please, just PLEASE, don't justify anything to anyone!

From a proud "Superfreak" who doesn't want the apocalypse to happen before it actually happens in Supernatural ;)

Jackie,

When it comes to that note, it's just a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation isn't it?

I want to thank you guys for coming back on here and responding to people's complaints. I'm just sorry some have chosen to be so abusive and that it's been hurtful to you guys.

Constructive criticism, as you said, can be delivered in such a way that it doesn't have to be abusive or mean or angry. I'm sorry that's happened to you guys.

I may not agree with your reasoning on this one, but I do appreciate the work you put in on this. and I'm sorry you've had such a poor sampling of some SN fans. It doesn't exactly fit the Winchester code does it?

Stepping into the fray here...

Clearly, The Sourcies have struck a nerve this year, some categories more than others. Last year, they were something new we were trying out, and they were such a success that we decided to go 2x a week this summer. That means that there are more categories -- and more possibilities that people won't love every choice. Maybe it also means that The Sourcies and our crew are stretched too thin creating them and we'd be better off going back to once a week. I don't know. The Sourcies are a work in progress, and as Mia and Catalina said, they take a lot of time to create. If we didn't care about promoting these shows and entertaining their fans, we wouldn't be creating them in the first place.

We do want to hear from you whether you love or hate The Sourcies, but I'd stress that it's constructive criticism that really helps us make The Sourcies better, not lashing out and spewing insults. The venom I've seen here in the comments on this post and others is pretty depressing when I consider the time our crew has put in to bring The Sourcies to you. No, that doesn’t mean you have to love everything we produce. But our crew watches and loves these shows as much as you do, and reading comments telling us that we’re stupid, rigging the Sourcies, screwing everything up, and implying we don’t watch the shows is hurtful. Just because we didn’t choose to include Supernatural in a particular category doesn’t mean we’re deliberately trying to anger you. Why would we do that, anyway? We created this site to make fans happy and give them cool content they couldn’t find anywhere else.

We try to represent all shows equally over the course of the summer, even shows that get three votes total, because we’re The CW Source, and we’re trying to be fair to fans of all shows who read our blog. No matter what we do, someone will intepret it as unfair, someone will wish Supernatural was represented, and someone will complain when it IS represented. There’s no way to please everyone, but we’re trying to do our best.

We read all the comments and take them to heart -- some, I'm afraid, maybe too much. It's hard not to take this all personally when we invest so much of ourselves into the final product.

As for my note about SN not being included that several of you have called me out on, maybe I shouldn’t have included it. I figured SN fans wouldn’t be happy that their show wasn’t included, so I wanted to provide some justification.

I hope this clears up some of the motivation behind the Sourcies. Please keep posting your thoughts and comments; I’ll be reading them. Apologies for taking awhile to respond to all the comments on this – we at The Source have been a bit tied up with other job-related projects and haven’t been able to give the blog the attention it deserves for the past couple of days. We should be back in full force later this week.

Proud Superfreak here.

Sorry you hate the term, Mads, but I don't. I embrace it and I'm sorry you seem so angry about that. I don't think it's dumb and there are lots of others who feel that way. Can't be helped.

I don't see why you can't rationally explain to the ladies here why you object to their criteria. Instead you insult them and give SN fans a bad rap.

It's times like these, where I'm with Steve and I'm ashamed as a fan.

"Bobby, he's like the second Dad we'd all like to have, isn't he?"

...

Are you serious? That's how you're rationalizing screwing Supernatural over?

*slow clap*

"Plus, we have to give other shows a chance to shine!"

Like it's our fault all the other shows look like (because they areeee...) complete crap in comparison to Supernatural, the fact that you have to leave out SPN to have other shows win isn't fair.

Besides, your rationalization is null and void, in the sense that Sam and Sock are like brothers, so that means they shouldn't be in this poll either.

Same goes for Raja and Dan, and Nate and Chuck.

Really REALLY bad choice of words, to use: Bobby's "like" family, so...he doesn't count!

And it wasn't too smart to admit that you leaving Supernatural out on purpose, like it would make a difference and keep us quiet.

And to whoever uses Superfreaks...don't, that is a pretty dumb term for a Saltgunner.

I just wanted to make my last comment on this because I now think that this is becoming more of a fight of two sides... I do think that we, fans, accept that you guys want to be fair, but I just think that the issue that confused us is the note you left with the nominations. If some other show wouldn't have been nominated, would do have written a comment like that? I just think that was the mistake...
I am not asking you to put Supernatural in EVERY category, because that wouldn't be fair for some shows (and kinda weird too)...
Please, keep on coming with great sourcie awards category! We all love coming here and vote! Just watch out on the reasons for not putting some show in nominations ;)

From an huge CW fan!

How is Supernatural not included in this? Dean went to HELL for Sam. He literally WENT TO HELL!! Talk about "Dude, I've got your back!"

Thank you for all you've done in keeping up this blog and trying to promote our show the best way you know how!

I must admit that I too was a little upset by the lack of Supernatural in this poll. That being said, I'm sure that I can't begin to understand all the work that you do behind the scenes for which nobody will ever give you the credit that you deserve.

Supernatural, more than any other show out there, tends to inspire loyalty in it's fans. Perhaps this is due to the seemingly lack of loyalty by it's own network. Whatever the reason when it seems that our show is being ignored or belittled by anyone we tend to protect it fiercely and in doing so we forget that you'd protect it right along side.

Everyone speaks for themselves only so please don't take a handful of fans angry words as though they were speaking for the group.

We love the work that you do so please don't stop.

Signed,
A loyal fan of both Supernatural AND The CS Source

to the CW source

ack, i really wanted supernatural to be in this category, and still don't see the reason entirely logical. but i can see that you guys are trying your best and coming up with these sourcies is hard!

but hopefully the backlash of diehard fans for supernatural, like myself, doesn't hurt you guys too much. i just think that some believe that it is okay to not include supernatural but the fact was that one tree hill was included. oth seems to win everything w/out supernatural, hands down. and it has been in far more categories than spn. so maybe you can make a sourcie or 2 with spn and no oth, it would seem a bit more fair.

i actually wanted to have a bobby and the boys moment, or maybe even henrickson! he literally got dean's back when he was reloading the shotgun and was able to press the recording that exorcised all those demons.

whatever you choose to do, it's your decision, and its cool like that.

Mia,

I agree that some of my fellow Superfreaks have gotten a little extreme in their comments.

We do appreciate all you guys do for us and the fact that you do promote the show. Some people get overzealous and that's the risk in any kind of genre fandom like ours.

That said, last year's Sourcies were a blast. SN and OTH fans seemed to have a lot of fun.

This year, it just seems off and thus, less fun.

I know you guys have to try and invent new categories and such to make things interesting, but the rub of a blog, is that you're going to get negative responses right along with the positive ones.

I'm sorry for the ones that have been abusive. They were out of line.

We Superfreaks know how to have fun, but I'd be lying if I didn't say, something just feels off this year.

WOW!!!thanx for turnin me,a loyal fan to an aggrevated and rabid fangirl!!!!
seriously,of all da controversial polls u chose 2 leave out SUPERNATURAL from a category wich it basically owns!!!!dere r more scenes wich fit da bill in dis show than in others combined!!
I must say dat u r really goin above and beyond to prove ur point wich BTW, is still ambigous!!!!
I realy hope that dis should not lead to SPN not winnin dis years sourcies,keep it fun guyz!!!!atleast,keep it fair!!!!

I'd like to address all of you commenters as well because most of you don't know how hard Catalina works in order to get amazing video for you all. We are not employed by the CW - so everything we do for Supernatural is because we love the show. We have no say in terms of whether or not they bring it back for another season (or any other show for that matter). But we do spend our time fighting for these programs in any way we can - and that is by promoting them on our site. We love you all for coming to the site and for believing in these shows. We know you are incredibly loyal and that is great - but it also tends to cause some problems. Instead of treating the Sourcies like a fun little event as it was intended to be - it has turned into a yelling match. None of us are trying to anger any of the fans. We respect your opinions and value your readership. When you start attacking the people who are giving you fun content (like Catalina just came back with from Comic Con which you will see soon) it is very discouraging for us. So I urge all of you, before you start with an angry comment - keep in mind that this is supposed to all be in fun.

Catalina,

I don't want you to think us, SN fans ungrateful, but quite honestly, I'm baffled by your reasoning:

"Bobby is like the second dad, we'd all like to have isn't he?"

So, because Bobby is "like a dad" he's excluded? He's not technically their dad. And I think a majority of the fans will concede we think of him as family, but he's technically not and therefore, should be eligible for this category.

By your reasoning, the argument could be made that Sock and Sam are "like brothers" and by your reasoning should be ineligible. Same could be said for Chuck and Nate.

I am glad to hear that there will be other categories, but the point is, not including SN and virtually any Bobby moment because you feel "he's like family" just doesn't wash.

Just as I feel the reason of wanting to give other shows to shine, yet included the other voter juggernaut OTH, doesn't wash either.

I love this blog, and I've defended you guys against some harsh criticism, but being honest here, I'm left scratching my head over this one and really can't defend your reasoning.

In response to Catalina's post, I just wanted to point out that you should define the word "equal", because One Tree Hill are in so many categories, while shows like Aliens in America don't have jack.

Yes, Supernatural is winning in all their category, but that's because they deserve to win everything they are nominated in! (I am flinching by the thought of Sam and Bela, but that WHOLE scene was one funny end-of-dream sequence with Sam drooling on himself and all :) )

But nonetheless I just believe that no matter what Supernatural gets his fandom not by publicity but by it's fans and thank goodness we are here to support that awesome show or it wouldn't exist anymore! The only way I can see this show being "different" than the other shows is that we don't get to see love triangles over someone else's triangle; it's not about the hunting evil part, since other shows have evil in it.

So yeah I think now we can rest assured that Dean and Lisa won their award since there's not even 11 hours left to vote, but I just want to say congrats to the fans of the show! Because of you the show FINALLY gets a voice, and some sort of promotion!!!

Dude how could you not include SN, I agree with everyone else, there are plenty of Dude I got your back moments between Bobby/Sam/Dean and even Ash and Andy. I mean seriously you trying to aggravate the fans, cause if you are, mission accomplish.

I SO SECOND THIS!!!! : "On your first point Bobby is not related to the Winchesters, yet he's had a lot of "got your back" moments. Take the finale for instance; "Family doesn't end with blood, boy". And then he proceeds to go and take on a plethora of demons with the boys.. how does that not qualify?!"

Ok, so you don't know me but I'm going to introduce myself. I'm the person behind the camera... the person behind all the Supernatural clips that you've come to love and not so much...

I just came back from San Diego. It was a crazy busy weekend and I'm exhausted, but also thrilled with all the cool material we got for you. Then I turned on my computer and read these comments... well, I figured I should offer my "producer's point of view."

Regarding this last Sourcies... my production team in LA and I came up with the "dude" title, knowing it was a risk since Supernatural isn't in it. It's not in it because Sam and Dean are brothers... it's a totally different league! And Bobby, he's like the second Dad we'd all like to have, isn't he?

But relax! There's another category for, "Thanks for having my back, bro!" moment. Okay, maybe the titles are not as funny as we thought they'd be, and they are misleading, but we're only human.

Truth is, I wouldn't complain if I had to give Jared and/or Jensen another Sourcies award. Heck! I take any excuse to be in front of the boys! But you will agree that Supernatural is very different to all the other CW shows, so it's hard to get them in all the categories. We've tried to find as many as possible to give ALL the CW shows an equal opportunity to win - We CW Sourcers can't play favorites :) - And that's how we came up with the "Hottest Moment" sin. Honestly, if you ask me I think Sam is hot no matter who he's with. But I get it, most of you are trying to leave Bela behind...

So anyway, Supernatural's winning... you know that, right? I suggest we keep this fun from now on because that's the point! I promise I've got tons of Supernatural goodies waiting for you this summer. Stay tuned!

Seriously, no Supernatural? I'm sorry, but to me (and apparently, a lot of other people) nothing speaks more of "Dude, I've Got Your Back" than Supernatural. And you nixed the show because Sam and Dean are brothers? Um, hello? Bobby? Season finale?
Of all the sourcies, you put SPN in Best Lovers Reunion (which was Dean and a one night stand from ten years ago) and not this?
Fail.

So do you guys ever actually response to the comments being made here?

Here’s a thought, have the Tuesday Sourcies include only Supernatural, OTH and Smallville. Than for the Friday ones include all the other shows, you know the ones you really want to win. At least than maybe the Sourices can go back to being fun and won’t look so rigged.

So does this mean that for the sibling Sourcies we can except that the nominees will only be from Aliens in America, Everyone hates Chris and Gossip Girl?

If you want Gossip Girl to win so bad why not only nominate them for each category.

These OMG WHERE IS SUPERNATURAL OMGSOUNFAIR comments are the reason why i'm ashamed to tell anyone i watch the show. I'm scared pple will google it and find out that its fandom is full of crazies.

Thanks for that poll. Your justification for not including SPN made sense, should not even have to be there (dude, it's your right!) and is completely not omgunfair. :)

You didn’t include Supernatural cause you wanted a other show to have a chance to shine or win.

So the only way a show can beat Supernatural is not to compete against it? Do you know how sad that statement is?

Doesn’t it make for a hollow victory, if it’s even a victory at all? Kinda like the Russians not showing up for the Olympics. Isn’t it?

Ah prehaps not the best idea to leave SPN out?

It,s not the shows fault the others dont shine, a little petty I think..

Wow!!! You did it again!
You practically ignored the most loved show on tv, Supernatural, and you got that excuse?
Well you should start watching the show because Sam and Dean are not the only characters of the show. They are the leading characters but there is also Bobby( and you already got your reasons why you should pick scenes with Bobby, from the other SPN fans)but you could choose Hendriksen too-remember Jus in Bello? After finding out the truth about the brothers, he decided to fight with them and got their back.
Hell, you could even pick Ruby, she saved the boys a few times...
But, I agree with everyone here. Bobby Singer is the best on tv after our boys and he so deserved to be nominated on this poll cause " family don't end with blood"

Holy Smokes, how can you possibly leave Supernatural out of this one??? Have you ever even seen the show? Bobby Singer is one of the greatest 'got your back' characters EVER! Jim Beaver may not be listed as one of the regular cast (which he should be), but he has certainly earned his right to have a place in your silly competition.

You fail.

Write-in vote for Supernatural. Bobby Singer: "Family don't end with blood, boy." Well, this family usually ends IN blood, but still.

hellioness has a great idea.

What the heck? You let a crap show like One Tree Hill in when it wins just fine, but won't put Supernatural in? This is Supernatural's category, if you won't put siblings in have you forgotten the amazing Bobby! Supernatural is the best show and the fact that you haven't allowed it in nearly as many category's as One Tree Hill shows a little bit of favoritism. We already get that from the CW don't do it to us here!

winchesters have totally got each others backs, and if not family, bobby! i cannot believe supernatural was overlooked in THIS category! of all categories... this was the one it was left out of?

and if you wanted to let other shows have a chance to shine, what about a different category that doesn't scream out 'supernatural.' and why, may i ask, did you include one tree hill? oth has been in 3/4 of all of them and supernatural? less than half. i was screaming 'yay! sourcies!' when the summer started, but now, it seems way too biased.

and to julie:
"I'm alright with you guys maybe not putting them on, but seriously why do you point it out? You know it's just gonna make the fans angrier!"

i think they may have added that little 'note' after my first comment. i don't recall seeing it there before i commented about supernatural.

Any Sourcie that has the word "dude" in it has got to go to the Supernatural boys!!!!!!!!! Ok, fine, so Sam and Dean are brothers....if you're gonna get picky about it...what about a Bobby/Sam or Bobby/Dean or Bobby/Sam/Dean moment?! There are a ton of those this past season!

There we go again leaving out the best show on TV...Supernatural!

How dare you not include SPN in this "Dude, I got your back" poll? Besides all the other valid points my fellow fans have brought up, may I draw attention to Andy Gallagher and Ash. Besides Bobby, they also have valid claims to watching the Winchester's backs. Andy was even in two episodes, which is one more than Dean/Lisa in your poll "Best Lover's Reunion", and Ash freaking died for the Winchesters. If that's not a "Dude, I've got your back" moment, then you're all crazy. Scratch that, you left SPN off this poll, so you're all crazy already. SPN is clinging by a thread half the time, and it's doing amazingly well considering the entire show revolves around only two main characters. It deserves tons of more publicity than it gets, and I'm shocked and outraged that you would leave it out of one of the sourcies it most fits into with your faulty reasoning.

Jesus Christ. If you dislike the show that much, at least come up with more creative excuses. I second everyone here who mentioned that Supernatural didn't need to belong in that romance category. Hell, I didn't even vote for Supernatural there, because there has been NO actual romance this year, and Supernatural is my T.V. obsession.

Not including the show here is just ridiculous, and I realize that those running this farce of a contest/"awards" whatever will just take this as another comment from a crazed Supernatural "fangirl", but I needed to put in my two cents.

Why bother with something like this if you're going to be unfair?

How about answering at least ONE of us?

Congrats CW : you have just POed the most loyal fans of a TV show once more!
Why would you write down a note saying "Plus, we have to give other shows a chance to shine!" When Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill are nominated... AGAIN! Apparently you don't know who Bobby Singer is, because thank goodness he was there this season or we wouldn't have any Winchester brothers anymore! He fixed the Colt, helped them out in almost EVERY episode including No Rest For The Wicked (they were about to get killed by 30 something possessed people before he put the holy water in the sprinkler system!) and all those sweet scenes where he and Dean mention they are like family to each other!!!
I'm alright with you guys maybe not putting them on, but seriously why do you point it out? You know it's just gonna make the fans angrier!
So, though they are not nominated (again... because I still personally think that Ghostfacers could have been nominated in any reality show related sourcie :P), my vote still goes to Supernatural, with any Dean-Bobby moment!!!

boy did you guys drop the ball on this one. SN is the best show anywhere and OTH (although I personally don't watch it) is a very close second. The CW needs to use their upstairs brain a little more.

"Note: Supernatural's Winchesters aren't included because these are all moments between friends, not siblings. Plus, we have to give other shows a chance to shine!"

On your first point Bobby is not related to the Winchesters, yet he's had a lot of "got your back" moments. Take the finale for instance; "Family doesn't end with blood, boy". And then he proceeds to go and take on a plethora of demons with the boys.. how does that not qualify?!

Secondly, and most importantly, why bother including Supernatural in any of the polls thus far if you're going to be biased when it comes to one of the polls they should, without question, be in? This is entirely ridiculous; if you need to "rigg" the polls to give other shows a chance to get some points, what the hell is the point of the Sourcies? To find the "best" show according to you guys?

*calls do-over*

Supernatural belongs in this category!

SPN fans, if you believe that SPN should be a winner, force a write-in vote in comments. Here is mine:

1 OFFICIAL WRITE IN VOTE FOR SUPERNATURAL

I'm sorry, where is the SPN moment??? I'll vote when I find it...

"and like Amanda F said, can't siblings be friends, too?" Actually, I believe it was me, WarriorGirl who said it... It's not like it matters, but anyway :)

So I just wanted to add that I agree with everyone who has said that if this 'has to be' a poll without siblings, Supernatural should still be included. There have been Dude I've Got Your Back moments between Bobby and Winchesters.

i agree with Elaine...

There are no Buddies on Supernatural?
Why couldn't you have paired one or both the boys Dean and/or Sam with Bobby?

If you wanted to give other shows a chance to shine... why did you include OTH? Talk about a landslide.

You really know how to take the fun out of the Sourcies.

First, you have had way too many similar categories, with love triangles, break-ups and hook-ups. Than you force Supernatural into a category it shouldn’t have been in (best first time hook-up) and now you excluded it from one it should be in?

I realize you didn’t want Sam and Dean because they are siblings and I’m sure you’re saving the battle between the Scotts and Winchesters for a later date, but what about Bobby? Sam, Dean and Bobby have defiantly had more than a few “I got your back” moments this season, way too many not to have been included in this poll.

Here’s hoping the Sourcies can return to their former glory next week.

Note: Supernatural's Winchesters aren't included because these are all moments between friends, not siblings. Plus, we have to give other shows a chance to shine!

I can only agree with everyone else's comments about not including Supernatural in this category (which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever) but my other issue is "give other shows a chance to shine." That's ALL that the CW does! I have yet to see one single commercial for Supernatural only on the network, but 90210, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill you see constantly. Why is that? Please, can't you do a little publicity for Supernatural as well? Who knows how many potential fans are out there that we current fans haven't yet reached by word of mouth (which seems to be the only way Supernatural gets any publicity whatsoever).

bgeesfan

BTW--Next "Dude I've Got Your Back" category better be siblings only since you excluded siblings in this one or, at least, include siblings. Since when can siblings not be FRIENDS too? Sam and Dean are best friends AND siblings both.

So let me see if I have this right?

You included Supernatural, a show that doesn’t do romance or chick flick moments in at least two love interest type polls, but you excluded them from a male bonding one?

Last time I checked Bobby wasn’t related to either brother and if anyone has their back it’s Bobby. and vise versa.

Dudes, you even watch the shows you’re putting in these polls?

Bobby is like a Father for Dean and Sam. Can you make a category about best dad or best familly with Bobby they deserve that or a category about Best guest star for Jim Beaver. If you ignore Supernatural in this sourcies Best "Dude, I've Got Your Back" Moment you've right but not about we win too much. Supernatural is a family story more than a friends story. I love Supernatural and I wanted to support Supernatural, who's my favorite TV-Show.

It's a hard choice between Chuck/Nate and Lucas/Mouth. Chuck really saved Nate's ass in that poker game but I think I'm gonna have to go with what Mouth did for Luke. Destroying that tape meant putting his friendship with Lucas before his career and he did it without blinking. Now that's a good friend!

Elaine brings up a entirely valid point!

Bobby and the Winchesters! Like in also, Dream a Little Dream of Me, where Dean and Sam drink the african dream root and were dreamwalking in his head. Dean saved Bobby from dying, and he even thanked Dean afterwards for that.

And in 'No Rest for the Wicked!'
dean: this is about me...and sam. this isn't your fight.
bobby: the hell it isn't! family don't end with blood, boy!

how could those amazing scenes be ignored? plus if one of your excuses was 'need another show to shine' shouldn't you not include oth? they've been in every sourcie besides the reality show ones (same with spn), and ONLY the special effects one.

i just can't get over this feeling that supernatural should be in this category. no matter if its friends, siblings, etc.

Ummm... You say it's because Dean and Sam are brothers and want others a chance to shine.

Then can you admit this year is rigged?

Of the 12 sourcies so far, SN has only been in 5 of those, and OTH has been in 8.

Why do I have a feeling SN won't be able to win the most sourcies again this year, even though they deserve it because it is the best thing on the CW, let alone television.

I'm pretty disappointed that SPN wasn't included in this survey! The category is 'Dude, I Got Your Back'. That really says nothing about the difference between friends and siblings(and like Amanda F said, can't siblings be friends, too?). I think they were left out because you knew they would win- which they should deserve to, because it's the best show on the CW, by far. I'm sick of all the CW "pet shows" getting all the attention- I've loved these polls because every single one with Supernatural has won, and it lets me know there are other devoted fans like me out there. When I saw the title for "Dude, I Got Your Back" I thought, "Yes! Another poll I can vote for Supernatural in." Out of all the categories, THIS was the one you left SPN out of?

hehehehe... if you REALLY wanted to give some other shows a chance to shine, you should NOT have included OTH in this one either. :-p

ONE TREE HILL!!!

And why wouldnt Bobby be included for his ALWAYS having the Winchester's back?

Man, you included SPN in stuff it didnt really belong in (best lover's reunion?? WTF?? Lisa was quickie a decade ago...and now just a fanatzied ideal, but they NEVER had a relationship, so a reunion?)

...and you screwed them out of this category...where Bobby really had every right to be included.

Hmm, was Bobby the runner up for the biggest & baddest poll last year? Yeah, 2nd only to Papa Winchester.

You guys really screw this up so much, no wonder it becomes a stupid popularity contest.

Seriously, this is the category you choose to ignore SN on...
ok granted it would have been a landslide....but wow !

if you did want to keep it "friends" only - what about a shout out to Bobby...
the scene in "No Rest for the Wicked" where he isnt letting the brothers go without him and declares "family dont aint with blood" and "do i look like a ditchable prom date!" should definitely be a contender !

someone please explain to me how what Mouth did for Luke was anywhere near what Chuck did for Nate...

Note: Supernatural's Winchesters aren't included because these are all moments between friends, not siblings. Plus, we have to give other shows a chance to shine!

I'm so glad that you added this little note because the first thing I thought when I saw the title of this sourcies was, how the heck are they going to pick just ONE moment from Supernatural? There are just too many to choose from - that's the real reason huh?
So although Supernatural is not nominated for this one, I understand the reasons but still just wanted to show my support for my favourite show anyway. I'm sorry, I just can't help it, I LOVE Supernatural!!!! :-)

"Note: Supernatural's Winchesters aren't included because these are all moments between friends, not siblings. Plus, we have to give other shows a chance to shine!"

I don't know, that sounds like a stupid excuse to me. If the title is: Dude I've Got Your Back, what does it matter whether it's a moment between friends or siblings? And just in case you haven't noticed, siblings can be friends too.

By writing a note explaining why Winchesters aren't included, you say that there are Dude I've Got Your Back moments between those brothers. Which is true, as a fan of the series I know that.

You didn't include them because you want to give other shows 'a chance to shine'. Huh. So you don't include a potential winner scene because it might actually win? I guess my idea of a fair competition is different from yours. So I'm not going to vote for anything.

whaaaaaaaat is this?? why didn't you add the supernatural scene in 'dream a little dream of me?'

dean: that's it, i'm done.
sam: what are you doing?
dean: i'm taking myself a long overdue nap
sam: what? dean, jeremy can come after you!
dean: that's the idea
sam: excuse me?
dean: we can't find him, so let him come to me
sam: what? on his own turf? where he's basically a god?
dean: i can handle it
sam: not alone you can't (pulls a hair off)
dean: ow, what are you doing?
sam: coming in with you
dean: no you're not
sam: why not?
dean: because i don't want you diggin' in my head
sam: too bad.

or that scene in 'sin city' where sam kills the demon that was choking dean? or in 'time is on my side' where dean comes and stops dr. benton from taking out sam's eye?

there are soooooo many scenes of 'dude, i got your back' for supernatural. the winchester brothers always look after each other, and everytime they do look after each other, its always action packed and very awesome. i just can't believe they were left out of this category!

Love Chuck and Nate!

Kelli, I think it's working now -- I see more votes! Thanks for the note; I'll keep my eye on this.

Sorry Jackie! Please disregard my first post. Now it's showing. There must have been something wrong with my computer. Again, sorry.

Hey Jackie. For some reason this post isn't showing on the main page. I was reading about James Lafferty and saw this at the top of the page. Haha! I'm the only one who has voted! :)
