Benedict Cumberbatch: Vote on Zap2it's site to select Most Crushworthy Law Enforcement guy

By Jean Bentley February 21, 2012 4:50 PM ET

Last week, Zap2it asked our readers to make some tough decisions in our TV's Most Crushworthy competition.

This week, we're narrowing the field yet again as we seek out the Ultimate TV Crush. "Bones" fans came out in full force to support Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz -- and their hard work paid off. Both Brennan and Booth are in the finals.

But your job isn't done! Want to see them take the title as TV's Most Crushworthy law enforcement/forensic types? Make sure you vote again. Here's who they're facing off against: Representing the females, we've got the sexy, no-nonsense detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic) of "Castle" battling the sexy forensic anthropologist (is that a thing? Well, now it is) Temperance Brennan of "Bones." Sorry, "Chuck" fans, Beckett just edged out your girl Sarah Walker (a.k.a. Aussie actress Yvonne Strahovski) in the category.

And on the male side of things, Boreanaz's Seeley Booth ("Bones") takes on the exotically named British fellow Benedict Cumberbatch of BBC's "Sherlock." Who's the Crushworthiest one of all? Cast your vote below, and don't forget to tell your friends to vote too! Polls close Monday.
