Sookie's Choice - Bill, Eric Or Alcide?

So we're past the halfway point of True Blood's third season and we're heading into something of a love quadrangle. Sookie Stackhouse has not one but three eligible men baying for her affections and while fangirls seem to think only one of the three of them is genuinely deserving of the telepathic waitress, I'm gonna delve into the pros and cons of all three suitors.

Bill Compton: They say you remember your first love but they rarely say that your first love is the one you're meant to be with. Bill may be devoted to Sookie but he was sent to Bon Temps at Sophie-Anne's behest and has been looking into Sookie's family history without her knowledge. Also in this week's episode, he literally drained Sookie dry and left her for dead, even if he did later bring her out of her coma. Plus as many fans have pointed out (and I'm inclined to agree), Sookie herself is often better when she isn't with Bill. There's a chemistry and love there but I don't think that's enough to see them through.

Eric Northman: At the risk of irating fangirls but I don't get the Eric love as madly as I possibly should. Yes, he's attractive, has an interesting history and probably does genuinely love Sookie but he's also controlling, manipulative and not above putting his own interests above everyone else. On the plus side, while he's got the horn for Sookie, it's refreshing to see that she isn't the be all and end all for him as well. The fact that he's got a score to settle with Russell and wanted to save Pam from the Magister made me like him more than anything involving Sookie. Plus, I don't like the way he tricked Sookie into drinking from him, something I've noticed that a lot of female fans tend to skim over, well most of them do. And these are the same ones who endlessly moan about Sookie when she so much as opens her mouth to speak.

Alcide Herveaux: This one is more complicated for me. Realistically, Sookie should be with Alcide because it's the only relationship between the three that could last and also because Alcide doesn't treat her like a child or a possession (unlike Bill/Eric) but given the fact that he's still got a rather toxic relationship with Debbie to contend with as well as his own duties being in a pack, it could raise the same amount of dangers to Sookie that her associations with Bill and Eric as well. I like Alcide a lot more than some people and he's certainly nice to look at but another negative on him is that he did seem to have more chemistry with Tara than Sookie in the last two episodes.

Overall Conclusion: Undecided but if forced at gunpoint, I'll say Alcide.
