There is an odd list over at MSN where they pick Fall TV's Hottest Hotties. It's strange because of the haphazard way they go about the list. Apparently 25 wasn't enough slots, so they have the entire cast of Studio 60, and the cast of Prison Break on the list. Now, I'll give you Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, but when you say the "cast of Prison Break" you are including Robert Knepper (T-Bag) and Peter Stormare (Abruzzi). They are both great in their parts, but hotties?

Another oddity is that David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel from Bones are lumped together in the list. It's strange not only because she is the third hottest woman on that show, but also because later Jason Ritter and Lizzy Caplan from The Class take up two separate spots.

As with every list like this, someone always gets left off. I would have liked to see Adrianne Palicki (Tyra on Friday Night Lights) in there somewhere. She's cute and that show can use all the help in can get right now. And it is hard to argue with Anya from Deal or No Deal. Unless you bring up that her only line on the show is "Hi Howie." Who is your favorite Fall Hottie?

There is an interesting article over at USA Today (via our friends at AOL TV) running down some of the numbers for what it takes to win the top prize on NBC's Deal or No Deal. Get your slide-rule and head over there for the full breakdown.

They do point out that the contestant has a 3.8% chance of picking the $1,000,000 as their case, but they miss one important aspect. Even if the contestant does manage to have the top prize in their case, whether or not they keep it has a lot to do with what the last model's case holds. If the $1 is still in play and the banker is offering $500,000, that is a tough gamble to make, which further reduces the chances.

The oddest stat in the article is that L is the most common letter in the first names of the models. Personally, I'm waiting for that whole cloning thing to be perfected so we can have 26 Anya's (pictured) to choose from.
