 OK, so maybe we don’t gush over a guy like Paul Walker because of his acting chops. Still, 2006 was  a banner year for the surfing stud; he saw both Eight Below  and Flags of Our Fathers  hailed by critics. Running Scared didn’t shoot up the  same box office, but he wields  a gun and takes his clothes off,  so you get the idea. Of course,  his finest moments are all on  DVDlike his washing machine screw  fest in Varsity Blues,  and Joyride, where he  well walks into a diner buck naked and stands there for something  like five minutes. Not to mention Into the Blue, which  stars a very wet and very shirtless  Paul. Seethis guy knows the kind  of cinema we like. |

 Andrew Stetson
   is one of those strange cases on our countdown, because depending on what picture of him we use you wither love him (he’s been to number one twice) or you hate  him (and a lowly number ten just
   two weeks ago). So, we’re hoping to God this old fav we dusted off meets your approval. By now, fans of Andrew know his story. The Canadian born hottie almost passed up a life in front of the camera for a career in construction. Thank God he didn’t, because we
   love beautiful and rugged at once. Andrew has appeared in pretty much every major designer’s clothinghe’s a runway and print superstar. |

 When Lance
   Bass announced that he’s gay and that his steady boyfriend is model / author / actor / reality show star Reichen Lehmkuhl,
   everyone in America seemed to want a piece of the Amazing Race hottie. With his book Here’s What We’ll Say getting a lot of press and solid  reviews (and memories of that sexy calendar he did for 2005 leaving fans wanting more), Reichen
   seems to be everywhere and for  a guy who’s spent four months solidly inside our top five, there’s no reason why he shouldn’t finish out his stupendous run at the top where he belongs. |

 First he taunted us with school boy fantasies as a hottie jock in She’s the  Man. Then he had us clamoring for tights and a dance belt in Step Up! Finally, he turned in an award worthy performance
   and managed to keep his shirt up as a gang banger in A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints. Is it any wonder 2006 is the year  that truly made Channing Tatum a star. A former model for Abercrombie, Nautica and Tommy Hilfiger, Channing’s
   next gig is the almost too hot to think about Kimberly Pierce (Boys Don’t Cry) drama co-starring Ryan  Phillippe. I’m pretty certain they don’t play gay, but at least we can hope and pray for a locker room scene? |

 He may not be a  superstar yet, but mark our words. You haven’t seen the last of Sean  Faris. So what his show  Reunion was cancelled and his remake of Yours, Mine and Ours was a bust. It doesn’t
   even matter that his turn in the homoerotic thriller The Brotherhood II stopped short of being a full on gay experience to behold.  The Tom Cruise look-alike (just taller and seemingly more normal) has a new pic coming out in the spring (he stars as a prodigy
   rugby player in Forever Strong) and a slew of sexy pics on his revamped Web site, www.seanfaris.com.  So there’s plenty of reason for you to stay in this stud’s corner. |

 How can we forget the man that made camping oh so  sexy in 2006. Brokeback  fever may have died down, but
   Jake Gyllenhaal  cemented himself in the gay consciousness  for the rest of his career. And  of course, more recently, the  tabloids have had a field day  with his little threeway relationship  with Matthew McConaughey  and Lance Armstrong (they’re
   just friends, folks). Next up  for Jake? February’s Zodiac  for director David Fincher,  a look at the Zodiac killer as  only the director of Se7en  and Fight Club could  tell it. Even more reason to love  Jake (beyond his nudie scenes
   in Jarhead)in his down  time, he works with animal rescue  programs and is a spokesmodel  for the ACLU. Smart and studly.  How much are we lovin’ that? |

 Anton Antipov  managed something we’d never seen  before when he debuted on our  countdown earlier this year. Someone  emailed us his pictures after  seeing them on his MySpace account  of all places, we posted them,
   Anton wrote us thanking us for  the compliment, and for four months  he beat out celebrities like Heath  Ledger and Justin Timberlake and  ruled the top five. And why not?  The Belarus native with a body  for days already has a loyal following  as a regular model for All
   American Boys (if you haven’t  visited the site, go Anton’s splashed  all over the place). The Web has  crowned him with the best bulge  of the month, the best abs of  the month. How about another best?  Man of the year? |

 Fitness model Derrick  Davenport introduced  muscles to the countdown earlier
   this year, and with no one else  with a bod quite like that on  our countdown, he held down the  top spot a record five times.  He dipped a few times, which is  why he isn’t in first place going  into this vote, but he did win  major brownie points for proudly  announcing himself as one of our
   hotties on his Web  site and urging loyal fans  to drop by and vote. He e-mailed,  thanked us for nominating him,  and then, Playgirl, the  mark with which every hairless  muscle stud with abs knows he’s
   hot, named Derrick their man of the Year. Yeah, that’s a stud  worth voting for all right. |

 The aerobics stud  none of you could stop talking  about for month was hit hard in  November, but that’s after four
   months of near non-stop top two  finishes and a following that  had folks emailing constantly,  asking for updates, new info,  new pics. The best way to stay  up to date on Nick Beyeler  is to visit his Web site, but  we’ll give you the basics here.
   A Gold medal winning aerobics  champ, Nick has certainly eared  himself a loyal following through  his to die for body, brain (how  many people do you know that speak  five languages?) and, of course,  flexibility. Not to be crude,  but come on. Just imagine the
   things this man could do in bed.  Discuss. |

 When photographer  Lewis Payton  (DNA Magazine) was looking
   for the perfect guy to grace the  cover of his photo collection  10 (referring to the  perfect 10), he scored big time  when he picked Ryan Daharsh.  With the body of a Greek God and  the face and hair to match, Ryan  is unchallenged when it comes
   to owning a look. So it’s no wonder  his back issues of DNA Magazine  or one of the countless shoots  he worked on for Abercrombie &  Fitch are near impossible to find.  Thankfully,  we have some killer pics here,  so sit back, relax, drool, then
   vote. |
