Yes, kids, the votes have been tallied.

You literally sent in hundreds of thousands of requests.

You begged and pleaded for us to “pick me, pick me.”

And now, the wait is finally over.

We at Big Head DC are excited to announce the male winners of the 2nd annual Big Head DC Hottest Media Types Contest.

(Hold tight, ladies will come second — isn’t that how it always works…)

Drumroll please.

In a landslide, the hottest male off-air journalist this year is Andrew Noyes, senior writer for the National Journal’s Tech Daily. This writer’s got secret charms that many in our audience seem to find delicious, yet still, somehow, relatable. So, make some noise, kids!!! He’s your hottest!

Runners up in this category include DCist writer Jason Linkins and the Washington City Paper’s Erik Wemple.

Read it and weep, Jason and Erik: You lost. You aren’t the hottest. People don’t want to bang you. You don’t smell good.

Both journalists were said to campaign hard in the final hours for the big prize, but in the end came up short to Noyes. Better luck next time, boys.

Now! Stay tuned for the ladies…
