Well, the election results are in and the United States is about to have its first… oh wait, that’s that other election!

This election is the one where you, the readers were asked to pick Cheryl Blossom’s new boyfriend… and the results are in!

Four issues ago, Reggie and Cheryl broke up, and Cheryl wound up on the TV show, “The Lonely Hearts Club” in search of a new beau. Three hot contestants stepped up for the challenge, and you the reader witnessed each of their dates with Cheryl and placed your votes for who you thought Cheryl should choose online at www.archiecomics.com!

With each new issue, Cheryl went on another date… and each date proved to have its own special challenge! Veronica nearly ran out of breath trying to keep up with Austin, the hunky fitness fanatic. She did all she could to avoid pratfalls with Brandon, the klutzy computer genius. She tried to avoid cooking up trouble with George, the master chef.

Now, in “And the Winner Is… Part 5 of 5”, the new man in Cheryl’s life is finally revealed… but not before the host of the show treats all the participants to a wacky recap of clips featuring all their foul-ups and blunders! Where will this latest shake-up in the Archie-verse lead? It’s the craziest, kookiest conclusion that you simply can’t miss!
