Darren Criss, who plays gay student
Blaine Anderson on the Fox musical-comedy Glee, and
Supernatural's Jensen Ackles are facing off in the final round
of E!'s
Alpha Male Madness.
The online contest advances one of two
men each week based on readers' voting.
The thirty-three-year-old Ackles plays
Dean Winchester on the CW's horror and supernatural television
series, now in its sixth season. Criss, 24, wowed with his debut
performance on Glee singing a cover of Katy Perry's Teenage
Dream.
The openly straight Criss moved into
the final round after besting Castle's Nathan Fillion.
Ackles, the 2009 Alpha Male Madness champion, moved ahead after a
round against Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki.
“But who is man enough to win it
all?” the
website rhetorically asks. “Will it be the Glee guy who
sang and danced his way to the top? Or the Supernatural stud
whose chiseled face could cut glass? As always, the decision is
entirely up to all of you.”
Criss' Blaine is now romantically
involved with Kurt Hummel, played by Chris Colfer. The couple's
first kiss sparked outrage
from Saturday Night Live alum Victoria Jackson.
