So after some delays we can begin the hunt, where we narrow down the final 64 favourite characters, as nominated by you, all the way down to our champion. What will join 'Supernatural' as the kings of TV for this year. The Game Begins now, one month of hunting, voting, arguing and finding fans from across the world. The most votes we got in a 24 hour period in the Show competition was . Can that be beaten. Is any one character that popular. This remains to be seen.
The first round is going to look a bit more simplified than from Round Two onwards, as I have been preparing text and images to go with the characters, but as I have been so busy the last few weeks, I have only finished around 40 of the 64, and I'm hoping as I did it based on my predictions, that I will have the final 32 covered. I'm moving to New York on Tuesday for 2 months so I won't have time to do the remaining 24 odd this week, so apologies that it won't quite look as groovy as I'd hoped, but all should be sorted for Round Two, which I think should begin a week on Monday. Hope you all have fun, get involved and make sure to comment, tweet, facebook to your hearts content.
Let The Battle Commence
Today we have 8 characters fighting it out for the chance to reach the final 32, covering 8 different shows. We have 'Grey's Anatomys' top surgeon Derek Shepherd taking on the ever brilliant Fox Mulder from alien phenomenon 'The X-Files' as well as star struck lover and regular plane crash passenger Sun Hwa Kwon from Island drama 'LOST' taking on that girl who just can't stop blabbing (maybe? :P) Blair Waldorf from The CW teen drama 'Gossip Girl.'
Also today, we have that Neil Patrick Harris guy I hear so much of, and his 'How I Met Your Mother' character Barney Stinson taking on one of the pre-tournament favourites for the title in heart-throb and all round Demon Hunter Dean Winchester. And the final matchup of the day sees 'How haven't I found out my brothers a murderer' Debra Morgan from the dark delicacy that is 'Dexter' facing titular role and moonlighter 'Veronica Mars.'
Because I can't upload pictures where I am (disappointing I know!), due to slow internet and me not having the time to wait 10 mins per picture, heres the wiki pages for all 8 characters:
Derek Shepherd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Shepherd
Fox Mulder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Mulder
Sun Hwa Kwon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun-Hwa_Kwon
Blair Waldorf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blair_Waldorf

Are any of these characters a certainty for round two, this remains to be seen. But place your votes folks.
Derek Shepherd vs. Fox Mulder
Sun Hwa Kwon vs. Blair Waldorf
Barney Stinson vs. Dean Winchester
Debra Morgan vs. Veronica Mars
In advance, the voting window is 24 hours, and I have set closing times for the poll, but if they do not work, or they aren't set at any point in the competition, the poll will close when I check the votes myself. This is not at all due to cheating, it's due to the fact that I will be busy and so please let's avoid the torrent of abuse that the infamous Smallville vs. The Vampire Diaries produced :P
Have fun guys, and any questions as always email me on:
