The Office: UK/USA Showdown, Part VI - Jennifer vs. Jan
Help the Wernham-Hogg/Dunder-Mifflin Human Resources Department create The Ultimate Office Staff.

As we head towards the end of these showdowns, we'll shift our attention back to some more minor characters...women-in-charge, Jennifer Taylor Clarke and Jan LevinsonGould.

Although I love the Jennifer/David confrontations over "Julie Anderton" and the "bigger than a breadbox" joke, this is the first time I will absolutely be going with the US version. Nothing against Jennifer, but Jan had just been given MUCH more to do. And it's safe to say the Jan/Michael storyline is one of funnier recurring storylines.
Tonight's episode is a perfect example of why this one was no contest to me.

Whoops. I accidentally voted for Jennifer instead of Jan(yes, I'm the one). Not that it matters anyway. Jan Levinson(no Gould) will win this one in a walk.

Jennifer.
Jan's kinda flakey. I could actually see her ending up with Micheal, but Jennifer would put a bullet in David before going out to lunch with him.

I voted Jennifer.
Even though I shouldn't be shocked that so many people are voting for the US counterparts, it still upsets me a little bit, because the original characters will always be superior in my mind. The only character I really like on the US version is Dwight, who would probably have fit into the UK cast.
Ah, but that's just me...that's how I roll.
