Nobody said a bad boy can’t make you laugh, and certainly Day 9 of our TV’s Ultimate Bad Boy Bracket Tournament is proof positive.

Yes, folks, today we’ve got Alex Karev of Grey’s Anatomy battling Derek Wills of Smash, and Jeff Winger from Community taking on Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother.

Every day for the next month, we’ll kick off a new set of matchups in a single-elimination format that will whittle our field of 64 down to one ultimate champ. So make sure the right choice is made by heading down to our polls to vote for your favorites (Round 1 voting will be open for 72 hours), and hit the comments to justify your picks.

If you’re wondering what criteria we used to pick our players, we cast our net rather wide — including fellas who are dark and a little bit dangerous, truly good guys with naughty, maybe even promiscuous streaks, and actual evildoers who are nevertheless tough to root against. (We also put a cap of two cast members per show for the bracket, which meant some fan favorites had to warm the bench this time around.)
