    What famous person would you team up with in a zombie apocalypse. I'd probably team up with Bear Grylls. Seeing as that guy will eat anything, he should be no problem getting rid of the zombies.

    But won't Bear eat you long before he has to eat any zombies? :P

    I'll take Terry Crews, he's got the power to fight hordes and the sense of humour to keep morale up

    Bear Grylls would only be of any use if you had a tv crew and a hotel on standby :P

    In fairness, while I do think he could survive if he had to, it was obvious from his shows that he had a huge crew around him.

    There was another guy, who's name escapes me, and he did all his survival, while filming the whole thing. Now there's a guy I would want on my side (although I'm not sure he'd want me :o).

    Although he's not a person, I would like the Littlest Hobo to be on my team. He's loyal, would let me know if zombies were in the area (so I could get some quality sleep knowing I was safe) and he'd be the type of companion who would never stab me in the back.

    For those of you too young to know, the Littlest Hobo was a Husky who roamed around helping people in need. I don't think there's any greater need than someone trying to survive the apocalypse!

    President Obama. No doubt he'd have the best security plan.

    I'm not sure if I'd trust Bauer, doesnt he end up killing or torturing a lot of the people he's with in order to achieve his goals?

    Nah, you would get emotionally attached and then he would bugger off, leaving you more miserable and alone

    There's a voice, it keeps on calling him

    Down the road, that's where he'll always be

    Every stop he makes, He makes a new friend,

    Cant stay for long, just turn around, and he's gone again!

    You've made me remember the theme music, which makes me sad. "Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down, until tomorrow I'll just keep moving on..."sniff :(

    To expand on your plan, why not take the hawaiian tropic girls? They probably couldn't kick much ass but with a full bus of them you could afford to lose one or two. Plus they'd be too slippery for zombies to catch because of all the sunscreen they'd be wearing.

    Well, if we are picking fictional characters then there really is only one option

    Tony Stark

    Get yourself a spare suit and everything is sorted

    Sarah Connor. She has it all, kick ass attitude, skills, and easy on the eye. Only disadvantage would be threat of a terminator turning up .

    I dunno. Chuck is great, but he is famously a lone wolf. Not sure if he would stick with me. Might be better with David.

    For me it would have to be Bruce Cambell!

    Nothing beats venturing out into the zpocalypse to test my zombie survival skills, to the comic commentating pun-casting genius, though a ROFL giggling idiot may not be the best way to face the zombies.

    Ed Stafford? He's a bit mental though :D
