EXCLUSIVE – LOST's Evangeline Lilly Weighs in on Romantic Pairings

Whether Jaters, Skaters, Jackets, or Suliets, LOST shippers are amongst the most enthusiastic on the planet. Part of LOST's appeal has been the excellently executed romantic triangle involving Jack, Sawyer, and Kate. Then, in season 3 the other's OB/GYN Juliet was thrown into the mix. The only ones who haven't been together since are Juliet and Kate, and Jack and Sawyer – except in cleverly edited fan videos (Brokeback Island, anyone?). In her recent visit to the Red Carpet event for the LOST Season 6 Premiere, Jo "Jopinionated" Garfein – representing TVOvermind – had the chance to put LOST star Evangeline Lilly in the hot seat with one question: which pairing works best for her. The answer may surprise you.

So in Ms. Lilly's opinion, the best pairing is that of Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell). Since we last saw Juliet bashing a nuclear bomb with a rock, should we take this to mean that there is no more romance in LOST season 6 that could have skewed Lilly's opinion? Are Skaters and Jaters out of luck, or is Evangeline just practicing the art of deflection? We'll begin to get some indication next week when LOST returns on Tuesday, February 2nd with a three-hour premiere event kicking off at 8:00pm EST.

In the meantime, keep checking TV Overmind for more of Jo's exclusive encounters on the Sunset at the Beach Red Carpet event.
