Cole "The Winner" McDonald has been top for an impressive 3 days now, and sees his lead extend to 4 points. With a round 3 win headstart under his belt, he stands a strong chance of winning the overall competition at this stage. I however, continue my further slide into the depths, sitting disappointingly at 364th.

Day 23: A disappointing day for both shows today, Doctor Who failing to really get under LOST's skin at any stage, always playing catchup and not looking like it had a chance for the win. However, personally, I find LOST's 700 odd votes a major disappointment for the show, it's fans deserting it in large numbers from Round 1 to now. From 2400, to 1300, and now 700, LOST's downfall could lead many people to be shocked with this years winner. Barring Grey's Anatomy & The Office, LOST scored less votes than all the other quarter finalists so far. It won't be good enough. It still has time to improve, I largely expect it to see off Grey's in the Quarter Finals, but against tougher competition, it has a tough job in the semi-finals. Today we have my hot-tip for shock winner of the overall competition, Supernatural taking on the competition's biggest surprise in NCIS, which has seen off Six Feet Under and MASH on it's road so far. Can it see off such a big show as Supernatural. I'm not sure. Time to find out, Let the Battle Commence....

Fan Review: Wilson Crawford
What started off as a seemingly fun, scary monster-of-the week show in the beginning quickly revealed itself to be one of the most well-written, fantastically-plotted, genre shows of the past decade. The core of Supernatural was, is, and will always be the brothers Winchester. Cursed by the demonic murder of their mother at a young age, the remnants of the Winchester family fell into a world of darkness. They were raised by their father to hunt the evil that preys on humanity, and ultimately to rid creation of the demon that killed their mother. Supernatural has one of the most incredible teams of writers I've ever seen: they can take the apocalypse and reduce it to two bratty forces of heaven having a tantrum, and then take a few misguided granted wishes and turn them into imminent danger. The action is well-laid out, the humor is crude, satirical, and sharp, and the twists in this show are some of the most insane, thought-out twists you'll ever see in television. Like I stated previously, however, the heart of this show lies on the brothers, and this show is not only a wonderful buildup of mythos, but the character development is out of this world. I can't speak enough on the evolution, the trials, and the strength of the commitment these two brothers have for each other. There's a reason it's called the "hellatus" between seasons...and That is why Supernatural is the BEST SHOW EVER.

Fan Review: Alyssa
NCIS is a fabulous work of CBS. Its quirky comebacks and comedic relief makes it an unforgettable piece of work, and the cliff-hangers of the season's ends make everyone come back to watch more. The characters are a dysfunctional family, facing troubles every day, but the audience is always cheering for the favorite couples on the show. We get just enough of that bonding to partially settle us, but not enough to be thoroughly satisfied. NCIS is a classic, bringing procedural dramas to a whole new level, leaving the fans with an everlasting impression.
