Wednesday night, we attended a special screening of "Twilight: New Moon". One of us liked it. One of us didn't. One of us is Team Taylor. The other is Team R-Patz. In short, we are an office divided.
Because it's Friday, here's a little glimpse at our debate.
Chiara took Team Taylor, Mandato took Team Robert. Read our excellently formed arguments below. And yes, we KNOW we're too old for this.
TEAM TAYLOR
OKAY. Taylor['s character] is normal, has friends outside of his own family, engages in hobbies and interests besides stalking his girlfriend, isn't condescending, doesn't talk with a weird accent that sometimes sounds weirdly Spanish, and obviously has a hot body.

TEAM ROBERT
I don't have much critique for Taylor except I think he's homosexual and unintelligent.
TEAM TAYLOR
What are you talking about? He oozes intelligence, clearly.
TEAM ROBERT
I would totally be the vampire sister that is like "I smell wet dog". There is nothing hot about being a wolf; especially with those cut off shorts. Die.
TEAM TAYLOR
Oh, sorry, were you looking at his shorts? I was too distracted WITH HIS CHEST!
TEAM ROBERT
Now that you've gotten me started, isn't his face puffy? PUFFY FACE!
At least he SHOWERS!
TEAM ROBERT
You have to when you're a DOG!
TEAM TAYLOR
When the emo vampire skips off to Rio to do god knows what and who, Taylor is there to pick up the pieces!
TEAM ROBERT:
OMG are we forgetting that he told his friends Bella was his girlfriend when she wasn't? That is the LAMEST. THING. EVER.
Obviously, it was necessary to poll the other GofG team members: Team Taylor or Team Robert?
Rachelle: Who is Robert Pattinson?
Mandato: !!!!! He's the hot British actor who plays the Vampire.
Rachelle: (looking at picture) Ewwww. He scares me. He scares me even when he's not in Vampire makeup.
Chiara: HA! Clearly, you are Team Taylor.
Mandato: NO!
Rachelle: Who is Taylor?
Chiara: HE IS DATING TAYLOR SWIFT.
Mandato: Oh, like THAT'S a factor.
Chiara: For Rachelle, it is!
Rachelle: Ooh yeah! I loved her SNL entrance with that wink to Taylor.
-----
J: Team Taylor. He looks like a gorilla. But that's hot.
Kunst: Team I don't care. But id say robert since taylors 17 and that'll get you 20...
Rachelle: Wait---I think I might be Team Robert.
Atik: WHAT?!?!/Mandato: Yesssssss!!!
Rachelle: I don't like his nose......
Peridis: I think I'm Team Robert. Taylor is like....17.
Five Minutes Later
Rachelle: Wait. Is one a Vampire and one a Werewolf?
Mandato: Yes.
Rachelle: Well, I don't like blood. So. I'm back to Taylor.
Atik: Yesssssssssssssssssssssssss.
At this point, we're 3 for Team Taylor and 3 for Team Robert, which means Billy Gray, Twilight fiend that he is, will be the deciding vote.
Billy: I've decided. I'm team Robert. I can't form an opinion on a 17 year old. It's just not enough.
BUT WAIT!
We forgot one very important member of our team: Stanley Stuyvesant, who, as a dog, OBVIOUSLY sides with his brethren werewolves.
So since it's a toss-up, we're going to let YOU decide! TAKE OUR POLL up at the right and tell us if you're Team Taylor or Team Robert so we can all get back to work!

Team Robert! Wow, the majority of the Team Taylor fans are so shallow. Most of the comments would mention about his abs. So that's all that is important? Uhm, NO. (Taylor is the same age as me and yet he does nothing for me. His strutting and arrogant attitude sickens me)

Taylor is ALWAYS there to pick up the peices no matter what!!! He truly loves Bella and would never leave her alone to posibly get killed by some blood-sucking un-aging vampire!! Atleast Taylor can grow old with Bella!! Unlike Robert/Edward.

Madison? I think you're confused. Taylor is not Jacob Black. And Robert is not Edward. So why mention 'Bella' and picking up the pieces? Lol! I like Rob much more than Taylor. At least Robert is hilarious and fun!

@Ashley: Actually, Taylor is Jocob and Robert is Edward.... This whole poll was started because of Twilight! Without The Twilight Saga, there would be no Teams at all. So... it has EVERYTHING to do with Taylor picking up the pieces... You know im right, too. Also, this is about vampires and werewolves, too, if you look at the main convo at top. Vampires and Werewolves have to do with Twilight and thats what some people are judging them about, too. Bottom line: It all has to do with Taylor being Jacob and Robert being Edward, sweetie.
