We’ve got some episode stills from episode three (production code #102) of the Vampire Diaries TV series, ‘Friday Night Bites’. As the title implies, it’s a very football-focused episode, with a lot of Stefan in a football shirt (and both Vee and I agree that our favourite number is ’7′, so Stefan being ’17′ kind of tickles us). We’ll be adding our spoilery observations to the Friday Night Bites spoiler zone later on.

TV Guide Magazine has posted some images from their Fall Preview issue (which should be on the stands now) in their gallery, including one of Nina, Paul and Ian by photographer Kurt Iswarienko.
You’ll have to excuse us if we’re incoherent for the next hour or so. Waistcoats! ;)
UPDATE: And now we have a video which features some (brief) snippets with Paul and Nina and behind-the-scenes footage of the photo shoot. You can see the full Fall preview video with all the featured shows here.

(Fair warning: some of these images might be considered spoilery.)

The folks at VampireDiariesWeb have passed on some unwatermarked versions of the Entertainment Weekly outtakes for our gallery (thanks, guys!). You’ve seen most of them already, but there are a couple more that we haven’t posted yet, which you can see below. Where were these when we wanted some fun images for the caption contest, eh? ;) (And on that subject, don’t forget to vote for your favourite caption before voting closes on Sunday night!)
A magic fairy sent us some super high quality images from the Love Sucks shoot, and we’ve got an excellent close-up of Damon’s ring. If you look at his ring in the Love Sucks ad-campaign, it appears to have an ‘S’ on it, just like Stefan’s. We’d been assuming they both had ‘S’ for Salvatore, but this picture reveals that Damon’s ring actually has a ‘D’ on it, indicating that Stefan’s ‘S’ is for his own name rather than their surname. Nifty, huh?

The entries are all in (thank you to everyone who entered! You certainly kept us entertained with your captions), and we’ve spent the weekend deliberating over them all. We’ve managed to narrow down the entries to ten, and it’s now up to you guys to vote for the winners of the Vampire Diaries Comic Con goodies. Voting will remain open until Sunday, August 23rd 11:59pm Western US time, and then we’ll announce the winners on Monday, August 24th.
So, without further ado, take a look at the following picture and then choose your favourite caption from the list below. Good luck, everyone!
Elena: “Stefan meet Matt. Matt, Stefan.”
Stefan: “Hey.”
Matt: “Be careful, man. She bites.” (35%, 209 Votes)
Matt: “I’m Matt.”
Elena: “He acts like one too. He’s always walked on.” (7%, 44 Votes)
“It wasn’t until Stefan met Matt that Elena began to realize there was one person she REALLY should have included in her blood-pact.” (3%, 16 Votes)
"So, Stefan, do you, like, sparkle too, or do you, like, need glitter glue for that?” (23%, 135 Votes)

“Stefan and Matt shake hands in agreement as Stefan stares into Matt’s eyes and convinces him to pay the dinner check for he and Elena at the Mystic Grill.” (2%, 10 Votes)
“Crap. My past love resemblance doesn’t stand a chance in bringing Stefan’s focus back to me, even if were to throw in the dead parents and a gaping wound. Maybe if I was a single mother/part time model, all while balancing the academic and social demands of high school?” (2%, 9 Votes)
“Hi. I’m Matt. We have chemistry together. Um. The class, I mean. You know, like science? With… chemicals?” (16%, 97 Votes)
Elena: It’s like…I’m here but I’m not really here. (3%, 19 Votes)

In case some of you aren’t following Vampire Diaries supervising producer/director Marcos Siega on Twitter, he was kind enough to post a photo of Paul and Nina during a “beautiful scene” on Friday night. Moonlight, a fountain…certainly looks romantic from where we sit.
Speaking of Twitter, Julie Plec is just a little bit evil – and we love it.
In case you missed our update to the previous post: My sound card was down when the “Squeamish” promo hit, otherwise I would have been sure to tell you sooner that the track used is “Hang You from the Heavens” by The Dead Weather. (Yes, it has me very excited – it’s shaping up to be my album of the year. And yes, I keep track of these things.) Jack White’s ending up with quite the TVD connection, what with the Raconteurs’ “Consoler of the Lonely” used in the pilot n’ all.
Thanks to Vampire Diaries BG for the heads up on a new photo of Nina from the Love Sucks photo session.
And if you haven’t checked out the official Vampire Diaries site over at CW.com lately, go take a look! They’ve updated with shots from the Greystone Mansion shoot, cast bios (not for everyone yet), videos, and more. Participate in the Vampire Diaries forum, fan the official TVDtv Facebook page, and generally make merry.

Huge thanks to Keiran over at Vampire Diaries Spain for giving us the heads-up on these pictures that appeared on the official Vampire Diaries Facebook. These are from the photo shoot used in the ‘Love Sucks’ promotional campaign for the Vampire Diaries TV series. They’re all pretty sexy images, though we find the head shots to be particularly striking. It also hasn’t escaped our notice that the close-ups make a nice complement to the half-face theme being used in various recent editions of the Vampire Diaries books. Whether or not that was intentional, we don’t know. But it’s still pretty cool.

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE DON’T EMAIL US ENTRIES.
We’ve found ourselves on the receiving end of some amazing fandom love and generosity and we think it’s only right to pass on the good karma. We know a lot of you were unable to make it to San Diego for Comic Con and have been envying some of the Vampire Diaries goodies featured at the Warner Bros. booth. Well, here’s your chance to score some of that sweet schwag – we’re having our very first contest! (Damon is smirking because we’re going to ask you to flex your witty one-liner muscles for this one.)
The Prizes:
- TWO big winners will each receive a Vampire Diaries Comic Con bag
- THREE runners-up will each receive a Vampire Diaries poster and button
Here are some (not-so-great) snapshots of the limited edition bags, the button (bit blurry, but you get the idea of the size), and the poster.
The Contest:
Write a caption for this photo of Elena, Stefan, and Matt (click to enlarge).
What is a Caption Competition?
The point of a caption competition is to come up with a snappy (usually funny, sometimes profound) caption based on what springs to mind when looking at a given picture, often based on something that sticks out to the viewer. They’re usually no longer than a couple of sentences, though can be presented in the form of a short conversation between any people who may be in the picture.
Example Caption:
“Matt and Stefan only started to appreciate the depths of Tyler’s evil when they realised that he’d super-glued their hands together.”
The Rules:
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE DON’T EMAIL US ENTRIES.
- One entry per person. One caption per entry. You get one shot!
- Keep it clean, please.
- If you use their names in your caption, spell Stefan and Elena correctly – if you don’t, you’re automatically disqualified. NO exceptions.
- Email your caption entry to contest [at] vampire-diaries [dot] net. Please include the name you would like to be identified by on the website.
- Deadline: Entries must be received by Friday, August 14th at 11:59 p.m. Western U.S. time. (To find out what time that is in your area, check The World Clock.)
This contest is open internationally. We don’t care if you’re in Poland, Bulgaria, Brazil, Thailand, Israel, etc. – if you live on planet Earth and you win, we will mail the goods to you.
After the deadline:
- We will narrow the entries down to our 10-15 favorite submissions.
- We will then post that top 10-15 in a poll on the website (who submitted what will remain anonymous).
- The readers of Vampire-Diaries.net will vote for their favorite caption.
- The five entries with the highest number of votes at the end of the voting period will be our winners. The two entries with the most votes will win the Vampire Diaries Comic Con bag, and the three runners-up will win the Vampire Diaries poster/button.
- Winners will be notified and celebrated on the website!
Contest starts now – have fun! We look forward to seeing what you guys come up with. Again, deadline for entries is Friday, August 14th at 11:59 p.m. Western U.S. time. And please spread the word!
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE DON’T EMAIL US ENTRIES.
