Shrine to the Soap Hunks

In order for a soap hunk to be fair game for the Adonis 2007 contest, he must currently appear on a U.S. soap during the contest period (May 16-September 5), with no announced plans (by April 15th, 2007) to vacate his role before the end of the contest. Competitors may be either on contract or steadily recurring.
 

I have whittled the list of contenders down to 32, using hunks from each soap and trying to spread the wealth around and be fair and honest. These 32 guys were separated into four groups of eight in a random drawing that was witnessed by the public in this site's video chat room.

2007 VOTING RULES: You are allowed 1,000 votes per human being per week. You may NOT vote 1,000 times from all of your different e-mail addresses. You will have to attest to this before submitting any ballots, and any evidence of foul play will invalidate ALL of your ballots. The good news is that you may submit all 1,000 of your weekly votes from the same ballot with one click: no more tired fingers from endless re-voting. You may use all 1,000 of your votes for one contender, or spread them around amongst multiple guys.

For the first five weeks of the contest, you will vote for which hunks will be competing in the finals. In four semifinal rounds, the two most popular hunks from each field of eight will advance. In the fifth week's Wild Card round, eight also-rans will get one more chance to be the final competitor voted in by the public. Three more wild cards will be hand-selected by three esteemed judges: one by my pal superherofan (whose caps can be seen throughout soaphunks.net and on his own site); one by three-time judge DaveId (founder of the Dreamcaps male flesh emporium); and finally one more picked by yours truly. Then it will be time for the real contest to begin!

Each week at soaphunks.net, I will reveal the results of the previous week's voting LIVE in the soaphunks.net video chat room and launch the next week's round, until we end up with our winner, the Adonis 2007!
