Are you familiar with the concept of the Uncanny Valley?
It's a concept within the field of robotics and AI that associability and comfort with technology increases as the physical embodiment of the technology grows to appear more life-like, right up until a certain point at which it falls off a cliff and becomes totally bizarre and freaky.
Whatever the hell that was that you posted, it's down there at the bottom of the valley along with zombies and prosthetic limbs.

Six might be fun for a romp in the sack, but she's a little too over-the-top for me. Too much of a good thing, as they say. She blends too easily into the same generic supermodel soup as Pam Anderson / Christie Brinkley / Elle Macpherson / etc. They're all basically indistinguishable to me.
Eight is #1 in my book, and I'd call Three a distant second.
Mmmm. Sexy fictional robots.
EDIT:
Actually, I take that back. Six as Gina (the spy aboard Pegasus) would work for me. She has a very distinct personality from the others, particularly after the... unpleasantness. Less manipulative, more pragmatic and forthright.

This seems like an appropriate time to casually mention that since I met Aaron Douglas (Chief Tyroll) at a club in downtown San Diego a few years ago, I am only one degree of separation from Eight.

{redneck voice} I bought one of them fancy Jag-U-ars this weekend fer $500.{/redneck voice}
Needs a few things, including a fuel pump and tires, but the mechanic I work with was too lazy/cheap to fix them. He bought another car instead.
I've figured out that the last thing some mechanics want to do when they get home from work is work on their own cars. (sidebar: I wonder if **** stars feel the same way about their work. I'm guessing yes.)
Hopefully a few parts and some elbow grease will net me some cash on the flip.
