I don't know about most of you guys, but I never, never, ever found Jennifer (Loni Anderson) the least bit attractive. I don't care for her Barbie Doll type face or body. I was always a Bailey fan. That cute, intellectual look with her glasses, always appealed to me even when I was a kid.
Baily over Jennifer Mary Ann over Ginger Janet over Chrissy Jaclyn Smith over Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson, Cherly Ladd over Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, Shelley Hack and Tonya Roberts
Baily over Jennifer-YES
Mary Ann over Ginger-NO, but still like Mary Ann
Janet over Chrissy-HELL NO!
Jaclyn Smith over Farrah Fawcett and Kate Jackson-YES
Cherly Ladd over Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, Shelley Hack and Tonya Roberts-OVER EVERYONE BUT ROBERTS!

Okay, it's been a little more than 3 years since I posed this question, and after looking at each and every individual post I have the tally so far.
Bailey - 41 Jennifer - 10 Both - 3
Obviously there are more than posts, but some have been deleted, and others just had comments about the two without a vote. One person's reply was "Bailey...Bailey...Bailey." I'm sorry to say that still only counts as one vote.

I always thought Bailey was hot too, but still, I always liked Jennifers personality, she always seemed smarter than she looked. She certainly was no dumb bimbo.
While I didn't mind Jennifer being the one who ran the station (I'm sure it was a great flip of the stereotype in the 70s), I gotta admit, I've grown tired of everyone in the greater Cincinnati area putting her on a pedestal.
Don't get me wrong, she's a beautiful woman and had some great one-liners. I just got tired of her saying "Jump" and everyone else responding "How high?" every single time. The example that immediately comes to mind is the episode where Mrs. Carlson has the baby and she's the only one who didn't have to follow the hospital clerk's convoluted orders. For what it's worth, the writers did a nice take on it in "To Err Is Human", where she went to the Soul Suds client to correct Herb's screwup, only to find the client is blind.

Bingo. The show's greatest weakness is all the self-conscious drooling over Jennifer.
