"Top 10 Most Annoying TV Couples"

TV Guide senior writer Damian Holbrook names the "Top 10 Most Annoying TV Couples" and the reasons why we continue to watch them even though they irritate us.

1. "Gizzie" (George & Izzie), "Grey's Anatomy" -- First off, could the combo name be any uglier? And secondly, ewww. It was like watching a faded prom queen and her slightly dim-witted brother get it on... at the expense of George's marriage to Callie.
2. Tom & Lynette, "Desperate Housewives" -- She has him canned from her ad firm, hates mothering and almost cheats on him with a pizza guy. He, in turn, takes it like a tool as penance for lying about his secret kid. Forget Wisteria Lane's occasional homicides, the real mystery here is why these two aren't in therapy.
3. Boris & Natasha, "The Bullwinkle Show" -- The couple that plays together stays together. The couple that gets off on terrorizing an innocent moose and squirrel is just freakin' scary. Someone call PETA!
4. Clark & Lana, "Smallville" -- Since we know the Hunk of Steel ends up with Lois, there's no reason to root for the Kansas kids. Throw in the fact that Clark was in the Krypton closet for so long and that Lana is only interesting when she's presumed dead, and you have a super-powered snore.
5. Billy & Alison, "Melrose Place" -- For roomies-turned-lovahs, these two barely shared more than an address. Alison didn't tell Billy about her abusive past until after ditching him at the altar, and Billy never explained his perpetually slack jaw. Amanda wasn't trying to break them up; she was trying to do us a favor!
6. Kate & Jack, "Lost" -- Sorry, Losties, but come on -- They suck in the future. Jack's a whiny wino and Kate, who was kind of an island slut for Sawyer, has become a really well-dressed nag. We say get 'em back to the island pronto, so these two can feel some heat again.
7. Trista & Ryan, "The Bachelorette" -- Between her squeaky-toy voice and his poetry, it's easy to hate on the only couple to survive the franchise's rose parade. But what really burns our boutonniere is that two nobodies milked their 15 minutes into a $3.8 million televised wedding.
8. Ryan & Marissa, "The O.C." -- He was tough, poor and wore muscle shirts. She was tall, privileged and wore blank expressions. The only thing they had in common was a lack of chemistry, which mercifully evaporated once that fatal car crash freed Chino Boy to fall for the awesome Taylor Townsend.
9. Sara & Grissom, "CSI" -- First, they hide their romance for two seasons. Then we're supposed to be OK when Miss Sidle suddenly slides out of the bathroom, all flirty and ready for bed? Had she stuck around after he proposed, maybe, but Yoko's only returning next season to facilitate Gil's exit, so they're both dead to us.
10. Rob & Amber, "Survivor" -- Damn you, Probst! If it weren't for Dimples, Boston Rob and Amba wouldn't have met on 2004's all-star season, used the finale for their showboat engagement or stunk up two seasons of The Amazing Race with their chronic self-promotion.
