Man Crush of the Year – Final Round
After almost 1,500 votes it’s come down to these two men: Benjamin Godfre and Richie Nuzzolese. It’s no surprise that these two ended up in the final round as both have experienced big years. For Benjamin he seemed to come out of nowhere and become one of the Internet’s favorite male models. It probably helps that he seems to have zero issues with being completely naked and showing off what he’s got. Let’s face it, everyone loves a bad boy and Benjamin is very good at being bad. Then there’s the other crush, Richie Nuzzolese. He had us all experiencing whiplash when he (and his abs) stole the scene in Katy Perry’s video for “Last Friday Night.” Ever since he’s blown up the social media sphere and has us all crushing over the hot, hunky, muscular guy-next-door. Only one can claim the title of 2011 Man Crush of the Year. Which one of these hot men gets your vote?
Benjamin Godfre (November 2011) In just one day of being featured on the blog Benjamin racked up almost 2,000 views, making him perhaps of the most popular man crush of the day features in 2011. He’s got a legion of fans who proudly call themselves “Benjaminions” and based on the level of interest he’s drummed up, I predict Bejamin Godfre could be in store for quite a big in year in 2011.
Why you should vote for Benjamin: We all love bad boys and Benjamin is the kind of guy we wouldn’t dare take home to mother because we’d be far too busy screwing around with him back at home. Tattoos, scruff, no qualms about being naked or showing off his peacock. While most successful models make a career out of being clean-cut and nice guys, Benjamin gives the male model stereotype the middle finger and does what he wants, how he wants it. He’s blazing trails and setting the Internet ablaze and easily could easily be the 2011 Man Crush of the Year. [View his original featured post here]
Richie Nuzzolese (June 2011) Richie’s been modeling for a while but he got us all hot and bothered when we saw his abs and shirtless torso in bed next to Katy Perry in the music video for her track “Last Friday Night.” Since then he’s become another in-demand male model and crush amongst all the boys (and girls). He even has his own fanbase known as “Nuzzleheads” who help to keep this muscular hunk of a man on our minds all year long. Will they band together to push him closer to being the Crush of the Year?
Why you should vote for Richie: Richie is the kinda classic guy that we all love falling for. If this were 90210 he’d be the Dylan to our Brenda; you know, drop-dead gorgeous on the outside, totally gives off that bad boy vibe but turns out he’s much like a Transformer because there’s more than meets the eye. First, he’s multi-talented (plays musical instruments, acts, obviously knows how to model). Next, he’s one of the nicest, approachable guys you’d ever encounter and stays grounded and focused regardless of all the accolades and success. His drive, ambition and a body ripped out of a fantasy, it’s no shocker that Richie has us all swooning and eagerly looking ahead to 2012 for what his next move will be.

Lovin’ Ben!!
Benjamin is the best!!!
vote for BJ!!!
Along with his great personality, Richie is one HUNK of a guy. Please VOTE FOR RICHIE!
BEN MUST WIN
I like Benjamin Godfre better even though I have never talked to him before. Richie is ignorant and does not talk to his fans, yet he flatters himself and calls his “Nuzzleheads” to promote his self interest. This includes getting into one of the Kelly Clarkson music video. Whatever happens, vote Benjamin. He must have a charming demeanor and happens to be in more than just a 3 minute music video… And there’s action involved.
To be fair, I’ve seen Richie communicating and interacting with his fans as much as Benjamin. Both are good guys, there’s no villain or reason to make anyone the “bad guy.” And this modeling is both of these guy’s interests/careers–self promotion is part of the business.
hehe i have to agree…just because he didn’t answered ur post, that doesnt mean that he doesnt reply to others…. he just commented on my post on his wall few min ago…
YKW — i interact with my fans all the time. Especially on FB where posts are easier to find. Get to know me and you’ll see.
Ben is a great friend, so no matter who wins, we’ll both be happy.
It’s true! He loves his fans and he keeps us interested. -peace,love,Richie N.-
totally untrue about Richie; he interacts a lot with his fans…mostly on FB; it’s true no one can compare to Ben and his phenom blog; but Richie is one of the best.
vote richie! he has it all and deserves it. great guy inside and hot. and damn he is fine!!!
I can’t find where to vote, either!
You vote by clicking either the circle next to Benjamin or Richie’s name after the write up on Richie where it asks, “Who is your 2011 Man Crush of the Year.” After clicking one of the circles, hit vote.
Thanks. When I first opened the page it was showing the vote tally bars already. Now I’ve voted … GO BENJAMIN!
Benjamin is more my type, but I voted for Richie because he’s shown more personality on FB and twitter. Not saying that Benjamin lacks the personality. I’ve just had more interaction with Richie. Good luck to both Gorgeous Guys!
I love Benjamin better. Team Benjamin all the way!
it’s true Richie is awesome to his fans: ive had 2 tweets
this competition has been so exciting from the start…..im dying to know who wins as boths guys are hot…..it was hard to vote but i stuck by and continued to be a Nuzzlhead for we have interacted a lot on facebook and i feel the love
so everytime richie talks to me i feel more love now than before
Hey Everyone, please vote for Richie Nuzzolese! He’s a really amazing and sweet guy. He loves all his Nuzzleheads and definitely is one of the most coolest people you could ever meet. (And there’s that whole hot body thing.) Vote for Richie!
Team Richie

benjamin godfre is a very clever man he knows how to please his answers to any question will vary from one interview to another so nobody will ever know the truth about him ,,not that he’s a bad man but very adept at knowing how to say the right thing at the right time
