Who do you like better and why.

I like them both, Arye Gross reminds me of a good friend of mine and Jeremy Piven is very attractive and talented. I like what he brought to the show. I liked his relationship with Ellen.

LuvinJuan...Always.

I liked Jeremy Piven .Or maybe I should say I liked the charactor he played on the show. I thought I had a crush on him til I tryed to watch him in other things...nope.I only liked the guy he played in this!!!!

Jeremy Jeremy Jeremy all the way!

I liked Ayre Gross, I liked him in the movie House II. I think he was good for Ellen's second banana.

I preferred Jeremy Piven, but they both had their strong points.

I've only ever seen Arye Gross in Ellen and Friends... he seemed a lot different in Friends, definitely - I'm not quite sure what it was, but he didn't strike me as the funny guy he is. Perhaps it was something to do with the situation.

I loved both for different reasons, but I'll have to go with Jeremy Piven as Spence because I loved the Spence and Paige relationship. :)

Arye Gross. I useto have a little crush on him actually. Should have kept that to myself shouldn't I? http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/liebe/love-smiley-032.gif

Arye Gross because a) the show was at it's peak during his tenure and b) Jeremy Piven struck me as too smug and came off as a second rate Chandler Bing IMO

I liked Spence better than Adam. I loved the "second cast" better of Ellen, Spense and Audrey were much better than Adam IMO

I was actually really sad when Adam left. I thought the slight 'tension' between he and Ellen was amusing.
However, the whole Spence/Paige thing was also pretty hilarious so it's a really tough one to call...

who else had a crush on Jeremy Piven? it's okay to come out now, I know a lot of people who did, myself included

I don't know Arye Gross very well. I think i remember Jeremy Piven on Ellen. Jeremy Piven is a really great actor he is close friends with my favorite actor John Cusack. They met at age 8 at the Piven Theather in Evanston, Illinois. And they made several movies together as well such as One Crazy Summer, Serendipity, Grosse Pointe Blank, Runaway Jury, Say Anything. And i think there was more but yeah i know this has nothing to do with the show Ellen but i thought i would bring this up.

Loved Arye....Jeremy tried too hard and I couldn't watch the show anymore, outside of the Puppy episode.

Did Arye and Ellen have problems, which led to his departing the show?

I think they did more with Spence. He seemed more three dimensional than Adam did. With that said, Adam had some great moments on the show. I don't think Spence would have worked if he came into the show as just some guy who befriended the gang. Making him Ellen's cousin helped a lot. So Ellen had a past with Spence just like she had a past with Adam. I wish Adam would have made a guest appearance in the final season. I'd like to see what his reaction to Ellen being gay would have been.

My vote goes to Jeremy Piven.

I know this thread is 6 years old, but I couldn't help myself.

This is such a hard choice. Do I choose the one that I think worked better, or the character I'd actually want to know in real life?

I think Spence worked better with the ensemble, but I think Adam was a more likable person. I had a huge crush on Jeremy Piven when I was in my 20s, but looking back, my crush has shifted to Arye Gross. He's just adorable, whereas Piven is all flash. Arye looks like the kind of guy you actually might meet, the kind of guy who would actually come home every night!

And...Arye looked great in those snug jeans they always put him in!

Arye! I never liked Spence. He was a jerk and was not funny. He was so not like his cousin Ellen.

I would definitely say Adam. I loved him and was devastated when he left. HOWEVER, recently I have been rewatching Paige/Spence's relationship. They really did have amazing chemistry. Did they eventually break up on the show?

Paige and Spence did indeed break up but it's so forgettable. In the last season, Spence became a recurring character (along with Audrey and Joe), and he was only seen once after the break up episode. And it wasn't even "the break up episode." Their break up was the b-plot. Paige talked to Ellen about possibly ending things with Spence, and then during the ending credits, Spence tells Ellen that he'll always love Paige but he never truly saw her as the woman he was going to marry. Then she called wanting some more break up sex and he went running to her place. So the break up didn't even happen on screen.

As for me, I've preferred Spence most of my viewing experience, but I've gotta say, this time around, I really liked Adam. I'm watching all the episodes in order on DVD (I used to watch the series in reruns on Lifetime in the late '90s when I was in high school). I don't know, I guess my tastes have changed. I still love this show but now I'm more of an Adam fan.
