Who will Sookie Choose?

She can read minds, sling beers and toss back shots with werewolves. Not to mention work a pair of short-shorts across two states. No wonder True Blood’s Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is the dream girl for three guys who put the super in supernatural.

So far she’s been loyal to her first love, Civil War-era vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), but a heartrending breach of trust will soon tear the two apart, leaving an opening for calculating Viking bloodsucker Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) and sensitive werewolf bodyguard Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello).

Sookie’s love life is a huge reason viewers are sucking up True Blood by the gallon. The Emmy-nominated drama, based on the best-selling book series by Charlaine Harris, is HBO’s biggest hit since The Sopranos. Set in backwater Bon Temps, La., and surrounds, it’s a Southern Gothic gumbo of hot sex, deep love and vampire politics, with enough story lines to choke a gator.

But underneath it all is the battle for Sookie’s heart that’s been raging since Season 1. Fans have chosen sides, and it’s on for Team Bill versus Team Eric (unofficial team T-shirts are available online), with new rival Alcide now running as a dark horse, er, wolf.
