According to a TV Guide readers poll, below are the Ten couples they would love to see get together on the show. Of course, show producers are always incredibly hesitant to relieve the simmering tension between two of their stars, lest they fall prey to the 'Moonlighting' curse (ratings dropped once the two leads got together and the show ended soon after). Recent history has shown though that if handled right, it can work. The opposites-attract-whipsmart-banter between Booth and Brennan on 'Bones' remains firmly in place even though they are now starting a family together. So, there is hope yet for the 'shippers' of these TV will-be or won't-be couples.

After her bad break-up, adorable dork Jess moves in with three single men. Of her roommates it is Nick who she seems to have developed the strongest chemistry. While fans may want them together, Jake Johnson can only go so far as to acknowledge their wish – "I think there's something between the two characters, but I think they are — like in real life — if you feel a connection with somebody but also live with them, you don't actually want to do it, because it could get very real very fast. And I think that's where Nick and Jess are. I think they've noticed each other, I think there's an attraction, but I don't think either of them wants to have a live-in boyfriend or girlfriend, who they just met." So, it looks like Nick and Jess will stay just roommates for a while longer.

Their constant stream of sarcastic comments and insults hide a growing dedication and attraction to each other. So much so, that Deeks was forced to admit (and then quickly retract) that they have a "thing". Will that "thing" grow into more? We'll wait and see.
