2010 Character Competition - River Tam vs. Spike - Round 3.7 - Day 23

Firstly, I am apologising for the lack of a start time over the last few days, but I'm majorly busy atm, but I'm getting the new rounds up as fast as I can :) And therefore, also I'm sorry I haven't changed the 'River Tam' image, but I promise that I will by the quarter finals (if she reaches it :P)

After a topsy-turvy day in the office, Olivia Dunham ensured Fringe had it's sole remaining character in the competition for the Quarter Finals, ending a very strong, but not quite good enough run by Liz Lemon. I think it's fair to say Olivia has surprised the odds reaching the final eight, perhaps credit to her strong start to season three over the last few weeks, but I can't deny that I'm pleased she has made it two women in the final eight as of now.

The question today, is can River Tam hake it three, as the 'Firefly' favourite takes on competition underdog and hugely impressive so far, Spike, from Vampire smash hit 'Buffy.' Exceeding the shows star, John Locke in Round one, he has earned his place, but can he keep it against the strong online crowd that firefly has found so far. For some, River is the competition favourite. Time she had a chance to prove it. And we begin...

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:
