Hot Guys of the ‘True Blood’ Season 6 premiere: who would you rather?

Here are some more photos from last night’s premiere of True Blood Season 6, which premieres this Sunday on HBO and will hopefully fill the void left by Game of Thrones. Except… do people still watch True Blood? It’s not the water-cooler show that it once was, I think. That being said, there’s man meat and I know ladies love some Vikings, werewolves, etc.

I’m including photos of Alexander Skarsgard, smoldering in a grey suit. Personally, I think Alex looks the best out of all of these days, although I wish we had some better shots of his bulge. MMmm. I’m also including pics of Sam Trammel, who still looks just like Jason Trawick to me, and Ryan Kwanten, who could have been one of the cuter guys at the premiere, except he decided to wear a little boy’s double-breasted suit jacket. Seriously, he looks child-like. Like a child undertaker.

And of course, I’m including pics of Joe Manganiello. He always leaves me cold, but considering this wasn’t the Dong-Fest I was hoping for, I think I might have to rate Joe as my #2 Dong Choice, after #1 Skarsdong. Joe is going with a double-breasted suit jacket too, which I don’t really like. I don’t get why double-breasted suits are coming back…? It’s such a dated look. As for the grey in Joe’s beard… I don’t really hate it, but it does age him. He’s only 36!

Here’s the trailer for Season 6:

    I stopped watching after —spoiler— that demon baby and laffayeete(?) getting possessed by some woman who died long time ago and Eric becoming puppy like (that was the only watchable part for me)… season 1 was sooo good but they tried so hard with that.

  2. Eleonor says:

    I’ll watch TB only for Pam.

    • Shannon says:

      She’s the best.

      • Eleonor says:

        I don’t give a crap about Sookie and Eric and anyone else. I’ve found too much parallel stories without sense, but Pam, I love her.
        And she is over Sookie and her fairy vagiN@ like all of us!

    • Bopit says:

      Pam + Tara FOR ETERNITY. YES. I am completely on board.

      • Chordy says:

        I am shipping these two so hard. I didn’t think there was anything in the world that would make me like Tara (not even Rutina Wesley could make me like Tara), but Pam made Tara awesome. When Tara grabbed her and kissed her at the end of last season I screamed my very first “Yeah! Go Tara!”

      • Nerd Alert says:

        Chordy, ITA!

        Before Pam turned her, I HATED Tara. Even after for awhile, until she and Pam got their dynamic going. She always made such stupid decisions. Now I love her, and I’ve always loved Pam.

        I love Eric too, but Jason, Sookie and Bill piss me off.

      • Chordy says:

        Sookie and Bill are just…ugh. And I really love the actors. I would probably hate Jason a lot more if he wasn’t played by Ryan Kwanten. I don’t know how he does it, but he manages to save Jason for me. And I want him and Anna Camp to work together again. I LOVED their dynamic.

        ETA: I also loved Steve Newlin and Russell together SO MUCH.

      • Nerd Alert says:

        OMG YES. Newlin and Russel 4evah!

        I love the crazy religious aspect of the show…speaking of which, I read an interview with Anna Camp that says she’s coming back this season. I totally agree, she was really good with Jason/Ryan.

        My favorite thing about HBO shows is that I love them even more when I dislike a lot of their characters…if that makes sense. I really loved to hate Tara until she got turned, and I still love to hate Bill (Billith?). I mean, I loved 6 Feet Under to death (ha), even though I found not one character likable in it.

      • Shannon says:

        Russell was the man!!! I loved him!!!!

    • lucy2 says:

      Pam, Lafayette, and Eric, that’s all I watch for. I really hope they dial back all the big storylines for minor characters this year.

      • Irishae says:

        Ah yes, the Sacred Trinity. I only watch TB for them too. I loved the first season, the second was just OK, then it took a terrible turn for atrocious.

  3. A says:

    I’ll take Skars and Joe at the same time, please.

  4. aims says:

    Alex sure knows how to wear a suit! I think Joe looks a little like a slime ball here.

  5. Shannon says:

    Joe, Joe and more Joe. Love his sexy ass. I still watch True Blood. Mostly for the men.

  6. marie says:

    I don’t even know, default is always Skarsgard, but I wouldn’t be upset with Ryan either..(I only watch this show for the hots guys)

    and please, Trawick only wishes he looked as good as Trammel. where is Lafayette? he’s my favorite character.

    • Anna says:

      I havent a clue as to who most of these people are, but I’m taking Joe. his massive arms make me think of Thor. i can play pretend. Plus lately I’ve been into raw physicality, and he definitely bring it.

  7. Ashling says:

    I can’t unsee the image of Ryan Kwanten as a little boy…maybe in a sailor outfit. I agree about the grey beard aging Joe. He looks better with just a little bit of 5 o’clock shadow. Of course I’d take Alex every time!

  8. Kristine says:

    I would rather Deborah Ann Woll. Incredibly sexy and beautiful. I have only love for my ginger brethren.

    If I had to choose from the men I guess Alexander Skarsgard. He is def the hottest one out of the bunch.

    • lucy2 says:

      Deborah is incredibly beautiful.

      Alex is my choice too. Sam is cute, but definitely Alex.

  9. Jag says:

    Sam and Pam, please. Preferably on either side of me and in my bed. (Used to love Joe, but that beard just isn’t cutting it.) Where are the women of TB? I want to drool over them, too. 🙂

  10. cr says:

    Do people still watch TB? As far as I know it’s still the highest rated show on HBO, still slightly above GoT. It’s just that it’s not the ‘hot’ show anymore, like GoT is.

  11. Zvonk says:

    I refuse to make a choice. I’ll have them all thank you.

  12. Miss Kiki says:

    My Viking, obvs, then Ryan Kwanten, I still remember when he was Vinnie in Home and Away.

  13. Tig says:

    Alex needs a better suit- light grey isn’t a good color for him. Joe needs major grooming, unless he has to keep all that hair for a role.

    Think the bloom is off TB- sure, the eye candy is there, but the show went the way of the books- just too much going on that no one cares about. BTW- are folks still posting hatef things to C Harris re the last book?

    • LAK says:

      i wanted to post hateful things to her re:the last book. And books 10-13.

      I am really glad i borrowed them rather than bought.

      It’s mindboggling an author [and their editors] who would deliberately sabotage their own creation.

      She isn’t bound by the fans, but she didn’t have to kill the series. Perhaps if she had JK Rowling helicopter mentoring her, she would know how to take a series in different directions without killing it, and ALL the characters. She ruined every single character and their story, whether they were the good guys or the bad guys.

      • lucy2 says:

        I slacked off reading them when they got SO bad, but after hearing how awful the last is, I want to hate-read it, lol. I’m halfway through the 2nd to last one, and waiting for the last at the library (I won’t buy them either).

      • LAK says:

        Lucy2 – i was committed to reading the lot even though i was hating every successive book. Threw them across the room every few chapters!!!! urgh. can’t, won’t recommend them to anyone.

  14. Roo says:

    I barely watch TB anymore, but I’ll take Alex anyday. He’s so sexy and elegant. Sam is a cutie, Joe needs to tone it down a notch, and poor Ryan just cracks me up.

  15. lori says:

    Imma have to go with Sam. He’s so hot on that show in his tight jeans, and I’m a dog lover too. Skars only looks hot to me now when he’s snuggling Juno.

    • DreamyK says:

      Team Sam! I liked ASkar until that weird choreographed nekkid scene with Sookie in the forest. It was so unhot. That was the last TB show I watched. Yuck.

      Big fan of the book series, I was one of the few who weren’t surprised about who Sookie ended up with. Charlaine did the same thing with her other mystery series, Aurora Teagarden.

  16. Jano1981 says:

    Oh I love some Sam. I watch for Pam though. Everyone still watches, it’s been on hiatus for months and will still do well.

  17. Micki says:

    All of them are good looking but in an interchangeable way

  18. j.eyre says:

    I think I like the guy in the grey suit and purple tie the best.

  19. Nev says:

    They all look pretty great.

  20. Gretchen says:

    Alex all the way. Once upon a time Joe could have been #2, but then I remember that his favourite book is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, which is pretty much the crimson-est red flag of douchedom.

    • Minx says:

      Late to the party, but yeah, totally agree with you. Joe opened his mouth and a whole lotta stupid fell out. That killed his second, third and fourth place status for me.

      Alex, OTOH, is running laps around everyone else. Always and forever the Viking! Beautiful man.

  21. Nikole says:

    Come here, Ryan Kwanten

  22. Emily says:

    All the guys looks great . I love the show . But i really don’t care for Stephen he is not attractive to me . I don’t get his appeal . Yes to everyone else .

  23. LostinSpace33 says:

    Alex 110%! Joe desperately needs a haircut and a shave (I hope he’s doing that for a role and not because he likes the look.) I find Sam and Ryan cute, but not really sexy.

    I don’t care how far off the rails the show goes, I will continue happily watching True Blood as long as Alex stays.

  24. Izzy says:

    Am I only allowed to have one?

  25. RHONYC says:

    Viking dong wins eternal, you know that. 😉

    annnd, i call series finale for S7. 🙁

  26. Nerd Alert says:

    I think Ryan looks great. I think they all look great.

    Yes, people still watch True Blood. I love TB. It’s my kind of show, all sex and violence. Truth be told, I hardly watch any other dramatic series. My friends and brothers are coming over Sunday for the premiere. We’re having bloody hors d’oeuvres!

    Oh and I would rather ASkars. Forever and always. Tall, Nordic-looking. That’s my type…he looks like the movie version of my BF.

    OK, I’m done dorking out now.

  27. Redd says:

    Sam Trammell can really bring the hotness when he wants to, I think a better suit choice would have really made him outshine even ASkars here. Ryan and Joe only look good naked and silent.

  28. Dopey says:

    As for who I’d “hit” – none of them. I just lose all interest in anyone who is married or engaged and I think Ryan looks like a Ken doll. Askars is starting to look like my dad (it’s those damn eyes).

    If S6 goes the way of S5, I won’t be bothering to watch.

  29. TheyPromisedMeBeer says:

    I stopped watching True Blood halfway through season 4, but Sam Trammell was always my favorite out of the True Blood male posse. Whoever plays Terry Bellefleur comes next. Scruffy! Yum!

    TB went from campy fun to dull and plodding, but what sealed the deal for me was Alan Ball giving crappy plotlines to my favorite characters. When Terry got that stupid, pointless “thar was magic in them thar Iraqi hills!” plot, I was done. Don’t mess with my Terry! I think the only one who has made it through unscathed might be Lafeyette, but don’t quote me on that.

  30. Mandy says:

    I used to LOVE True Blood!! But I found myself getting bored through Season 4 and I just lost interest.

  31. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    Alex leaves them in the dust. So sexy.

    I still watch True Blood and probably always will until it gets canceled.

  32. Amy says:

    I’m still watching this show but at this point it’s to see how it ends. I stopped really enjoying it sometime after season 3 (was that the year of the witch storyline?). I can’t even remember what happened in season 4… And last year at the very end when Bill goes all radical vampire religious and then becomes the new Vampire Messiah reincarnated out of a pool of blood…

    I was just like WHAT.

  33. Lexi says:

    Alexander for sure

  34. MademoiselleRose says:

    Joe Manganiello. I hate the beard, but I know what’s under that suit, and I want it.

  35. FartSack says:

    Bill and Sookie can go take a hike. Love me some Pammy and Baby Vamp and a little Joe and pour some of the Hot Sherriff over the top. I admite, it got a little annoying but I can’t let it go.
