Well, team, we’ve crossed the finish line. Seventeen some odd days later, we’ve narrowed the competitors from 32 to 2. Broadway’s ultimate hotties have been found, and we’re here to give them their gold.

I hope you can hear the Broadway’s National Anthem Playing—”Lullaby of Broadway,” natch—next up the is Hottielympics Anthem, “I’m Still Here” performed for us by Geri Halliwell in all her Union- Jack-sporting glory.

Who won gold, you ask? Well, just in case you can’t see them standing atop their respective podiums, clutching their hearts/crying/mouthing the words to our anthem, it was Gavin “Skyscraper” Creel and Sutton “Time Step” Foster. We hope they get “Millie n Jimmy 4EVA” tattooed somewhere on their perfect, gold-medal winning hot bodies to celebrate this honor. Beside their Hottielympics rings tattoos, obviously. If they need ink advice, we urge them to steer clear of Ryan Lochte and just give us a call instead. (If they want to know where to get a Hottielympics Commemorative Grill, however, Lochte is their man. Also, after they’ve chatted with Locthe, they should tell him to give us a call. We’d like to make some water babies with that boy.)

Though their fans fought valiantly, Aaron “Lucky Seven” Tveit–seriously, you should see how many votes he got, we’re flabbergasted–and Audra “Hall of Fame” McDonald took home silver. Audra has a pile of Tony Awards to comfort her should the sting of second-place ever strike at her heart, so she’ll probs be just fine. But if anyone spots Tveit looking aggrieved, again, steer him in our direction. We’re pretty well equipped to comfort him, and we’d ditch Lochte in a hot second for a boy with pipes like his.

Meanwhile, Steve “Feelings” Kazee and Lily “The Bard Babe” Rabe are both going home with bronze medals about their necks. We’re sure Rabe will make everyone wildly jealous by having it reworked as the centerpiece of some fabulous bib necklace to offset her fierce red lipstick at the next red carpet event she attends. And Kazee can also celebrate winning the “Best Sportsmanship” award, given for his epic sense of humor about this whole thing. J’adore.

We’re sad to see the Hottielympics go. Nothing was quite as fun this past few weeks as facepalming sixty times a day when we checked Gavin Creel’s ever growing scores. Or attempting to feign horror but mostly howling with laughter at the incisive yet angry Will Chase lovers who hate us. You fans—of Gavin Creel and Will Chase and Steve Kazee and Jeremy Jordan and Aaron Tveit alike—have made this so gloriously craptacular we cannot even manage to put our feelings into words.

And congrats, again, to our winners. We hope you all celebrate your hips off with your respective lovers tonight. Lucky bastards.

This really is it, team. Hottielympics Gold and glory are fully within reach. The podium is within sight. The national anthem is cued up and the bouquets and medals are waiting.

Your hotties need you if they’re going to take home the ultimate prize and we’re dying to see what kind of voting power you have in store.

Get after it. It’s your last chance. These matches mean everything.

The Bronze Medal Matches

by the mick on August 11, 2012

Bronze ain’t so bad, right? It’s better than fourth place, at least.

Which is why you should be voting your faces off, Kazee/Chase/Keenan-Bolger/Rabe fans. Because Bronze is still something. With your support your hottie won’t go home empty-handed.

This is it, team. The finals are descending upon us.

The Group C & D Semi Finals were, at least for us, a bit of a shocker. We didn’t doubt your love for Aaron Tveit so much as we thought Steve Kazee was unstoppable this year. With his heartbreaking performance in Once and winning video blog and Best Actor Tony Award, we just thought that once Jeremy Jordan was out of the way, Hottielympics Gold would most certainly be his. But Aaron Tveit fans proved us wrong. Aaronjolras will be at the final barricade today. And who knows, maybe this time he’ll survive and emerge with the Hottielympics highest honor.

For the women, the results were also a bit of a surprise. Sutton Foster was on a hot streak, for certain, but Celia Keenan-Bolger, also a 2012 Tony Nominee for her performance in critical darling Peter and the Starcatcher, had been unbeatable throughout competition. We thought she was likely to be unstoppable again in the semis. But Sutton Foster fans did more than keep the Bunheads star more than afloat—they pushed her straight to the shores of victory.

So the final matches are set. Completed brackets are below.

It comes down to Gavin Creel, Aaron Tveit, Audra McDonald and Sutton Foster.

Gold is within reach.

Semi Final Group C & D

by the mick on August 8, 2012

This is it. The final set of semi final matches in the Hottielympics. After today’s competition, we’ll know who’s up for Gold, and who risks going home completely empty-handed.

Today, 2012 Tony Winner Steve Kazee battles never-nominated Aaron Tveit. Is this Aaron’s shot at much-deserved recognition? We think so. Sure, Hottielympics Gold isn’t a Tony, but there are some things on this planet more important than Tony Awards. Like ultimate hottie domination. Kazee and Tveit are both undefeated so far in the competition. Whose score sheet will remain unblemished?

The women’s match is shaping up to be a good one, too. Celia Keenan-Bolger is undefeated, but Sutton Foster is on a roll, garnering over 2,600 votes in her last match. We can’t wait to see how these Broadway Stars with Broadway Siblings fare.

Well, Will Chase fans, you did your best! Sadly, your best was just not enough to best Gavin Creel’s fans who, once again brought it. Creel raked in over 4,800 votes to Chase’s 3,800, and we have our first men’s finalist.

Gavin Creel is on a roll, yo. We honestly fear for his next opponent. You know, at the same time as we’re dying to see that match, and praying that it involves a tug-of-war style back and forth like Lord Voldemort fighting Harry Potter only less evil and much, much hotter.

Meanwhile, Audra “Hall of Fame” McDonald continued to be badass and ousted Lily Rabe, winning their match by over 200 points. We’re sad to see Lily go, but she’s still got a shot at bronze, and we’ll always admire her style (and her banging red lipstick).

Semi Finals Group A & B

by the mick on August 7, 2012

Y’all, we are so excited to see how today’s matches shape up, we can scarcely even articulate our feelings. Last time Gavin Creel faced Will Chase he lost his only match in the competition. Of course, then he went on to get nearly 9,000 votes absolutelycrush Jeremy Jordan, so… it’s all relative. Meanwhile, Lily Rabe suffered her only loss at the hands of Audra McDonald, but she also rebounded with a decisive victory over Laura Osnes, so this match could get hot, too.

We can’t wait to see what you fans have in store for your hotties today.

Now go! Vote until your fingers fall off and your faces turn blue! Or something. This one is for a coveted spot in the finals and a shot at gold.

Voting in the Group A & B Semi Final round starts in an hour or so, and if previous rounds are any indication, the competition could get fierce. We though it was high time for a bracket update, so you could check in on how the competition has shaped up so far and who your favorite hotties will be facing in the next few days in their quest to make it to the finals.

Now if you’ll excuse us, we’re going to stare at the brackets and marvel at how all of this has shaped up so very differently than we imagined, which is SO COOL!

The Quarter Finals drew to a close on Sunday morning with only slightly less drama than Friday’s Gavin/Jeremy Battle Royale. Like her costar of yore, Group C Runner-up Sutton Foster pulled out a crazy upset and defeat the previously untouchable Kelli O’Hara by 427 votes. Kelli fans put in a hell of an effort, though, giving the blonde beauty over 2,100 votes of hottie support. Sadly, Foster Fans racked up juuuust over 2600 votes to send Sutton to the semi-finals.

Sutton will face fellow quarter final victor Celia Keenan-Bolger—who defeated Stephanie J Block by over 300 votes—later this week in a battle of the Broadway Hotties with Broadway Star Siblings. We’re looking forward to it.

Meanwhile, for the men, the battles were a bit less dramatic for Groups C & D. Both Steve “Feelings” Kazee and Aaron “Lucky Seven” Tveit took home wins, keeping the pair undefeated in competition thus far. Of course, that will change for one of them later this week, when they face off in the Semi Finals. That’s going to be a battle to watch.
