Poll Results: The L Word

UPDATE, 3 Sep, evening: We have a winner! Reid is the first to officially say it.
Click to viewUPDATE, 3 Sep, morning: Okay, obviously I was a bit premature in taking down this poll. I originally removed it because of the weekly preview scene where Reid tells Luke to take care of his kidney because “If I’m gonna put myself out there and fall in love with you….”, to which Luke replies “Are you planning on falling in love with me?”
What idiot woulda thunk we wouldn’t get a definitive “I Love You” after that? Never mind, don’t answer that - that just opens us up to all sorts of speculation.
Instead, two weeks later, we get Luke telling Noah, that he’s in love with Reid, and then telling Reid he told Noah, in a fit of exasperation. Then when Reid calls him on it, he admits that yes, “I told Noah that I was in love with you.”
*headdesk* Could the writers have used any less romantic grammar? I mean really? using a complement clause “that I WAS in love with you” vs just plain “that I AM in love with you.” And if that wasn’t bad enough you then have Luke saying, “Honestly, Reid, right now, I’m not feeling much of that.” WTF?
And to add the final insult to injury, Reid’s response to “You could tell me you love me whenever you want” is “You wouldn’t believe me if I said it right now anyway.” WTF?
Is it so hard for the writers to give them the chance to just say “I love you”?!? I need a simple subject-verb-object declarative sentence. It doesn’t even require any lint!
Obviously, this saga is still TO BE CONTINUED…
