Winners (Day 2)
Benjamin Linus, Sookie Stackhouse, Chuck Bass & Juliet Burke.
Please Read: I've changed my mind pretty fast on the results displaying, haha. and the original plan for today has changed again. We are just taking away the actual number of votes for today's trial. The %age is still present. :)
And we are into day three already, we have 8 characters in the Second round and it's about time we found the next four. Tomorrow, unfortunately there won't be the next round starting until later in the day, or maybe even tomorrow, as I have the flight to New York. If I find the time before or after tomorrow I will get it up, if not, tomorrows polls will automatically close at 7pm bst and then I'll get the fourth batch up as soon as I can. But apologies in advance for the potential delay between rounds.
Today we had four relatively close polls, the best being Phoebe Buffay taking on Juliet Burke, with Juliet overturning a strong lead and winning comfortably by the end of the voting. Phoebe's performance bodes well perhaps for Chandler Bing's hopes today. Also we have wins for Chuck Bass, in the days least impressive poll, sliding his way to a low scoring win over Michael Weston. Also Benjamin Linus looked comfortable enough against Walter Bishop and Sookie Stackhouse condemned Buffy, much like the show in the Best Show Competition to a Round 1, disappointing exit. Buffy has failed to live up to her potential in both competitions, and perhaps is lacking online support after so many years off the air.
Don't forget to keep following your bracket if you entered the competition at http://www.dawgsled.com/darkufo/welcome.asp
Today has some great matchups again (however I wrote in the post yesterday that we have The Doctor today, whereas he's actually tomorrow :P) the first of which is the original Man of Science and regular 'LOST' leader, Jack Shephard taking on one of the NCIS guys, Special Agent Tony DiNozzo. Next up we have the woman who enjoys a good explosion Fiona Glennane of 'Burn Notice' taking on Jennifer Garner's CIA spy Sydney Bristow from J.J.Abrams first show, 'Alias.' We also have the king of sarcasm and in my opinion the best of the 'Friends' bunch in Chandler Bing taking on of the guys from 'Glee', Noah Puckerman. The final matchup today sees Temperance "Bones" Brennan taking on one of the most 'love her, hate her' characters in 'LOST' Kate Austen. All the match-ups are tough to call, especially the last one where I don't feel Kate will get the standard 'LOST' fan vote, as she is hated by some. Three LOST characters are already through, can Jack & Kate make it 5...?
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:

Fiona Glennane vs. Sydney Bristow
Chandler Bing vs. Noah Puckerman

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:
