I literally woke up with this poll idea in my head. Weird. Anyway, while this could be done for some of the other couples, I want to just throw it out there for S6 Spuffy, because that's one with some interesting power dynamics (and one I hear a lot of differing opinions on).
Read these instructions first! Don't get ticky-happy before you read! This is only for Buffy/Spike in S6! Specifically, after Smashed when it's discovered that Spike's chip doesn't work on Buffy. On the poll, Buffy is 1 and Spike is 10. So choosing 1 would mean "Buffy held all the power; Spike was pretty much powerless" and 10 would mean "Spike held all the power; Buffy was pretty much powerless". I know that this can be tricky as the power shifted quite a bit throughout the season, but just zoom out and consider the season as a whole and estimate where you think the power balance would lie.
And...go!

"Now, I admit it. You've had me by the short hairs. (softly) I love you. (glances at her) You know it. But I got my rocks back. You felt something last night."
and
"Not yet. But I'm in your system now. You're gonna crave me, like I crave blood. And the next time you come crawling, if you don't stop being such a bitch, maybe I will bite you."
Spike knows he's got some new power over her. He talks big in Wrecked about how he's planning to leverage it, though he ends up not doing that much with it. However, the power's still there, and it's acknowledged by both of them.
