that is a good point, however, its not dawn who should commit suicide. since dawn was created by mystical forces AND the fact that her being alive put the whole world at risk, buffy should have killed her. its buffys job to protect the world from mystical demons and gods. i was very upset with her decision to not kill dawn, however, it did make for good drama between her and giles.

When they were up in the tower Dawn actually was ready to jump instead of Buffy, before Buffy said she was gonna, so have to give her some kind of props for that. And I actually always felt that a big reason that Buffy was SO protective of Dawn and unwilling to sacrifice her for the world was that she made a promise to Joyce before she died to always keep her safe.

As for Ben... I actually didn't vote cause I'm kind of indifferent to him, to me he was a slightly more intersting version of Riley and only because half of him was Glory. Before we as an audience knew he was also Glory I remember thinking, oh no, Buffy is about to go and date another boring guy, ugh. I do feel a little bad for him, I mean the guy never even really had a chance, his life was never his own. Pretty sad if you think about it.
