The 2011 STV Character Competition - R3 - Day 25 - Katherine Pierce (Vampire Diaries) vs. Peter Bishop (Fringe) & Castiel (Supernatural) vs. Kate Beckett (Castle)

Hey Guys,

Round 3 begins, but it does so without Barney Stinson and Walter Bishop, who both fell to Olivia Dunham and Chuck Bass respectively. As a result, it is clear of the dominance of characters who are still currently active on television, with 15 of the 16 characters remaining all still in active TV shows. The dominance of Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries is clear with three characters remaining each, as well as Fringe, Gossip Girl and Castle all still have two characters remaining. It's about to get tough though, as some of the shows begin to square up against each other...

Today we have The Vampire Diaries' Katherine Pierce taking on Fringe's Peter Bishop for a place in the final eight, as well as Supernatural's Castiel challenging Castle's Kate Beckett. Whilst Castiel will be tough to beat, it will be interesting to see whether Fringe or The Vampire Diaries can pull off a win. And don't discount Kate Beckett just yet...

Currently leading the prediction competition is TheSpoilerGirl, who is on 53 points ahead of Amber English one point behind. To see your score head HERE

For anyone new to the competition the rules are simple. Every day there will be a new set of polls between characters who are bidding to become the winner of the second STV Character Competition.

All you have to do is to vote for whichever characters are your favourite and at the end of the 24 hours whichever character has more votes will be the winner and will progress into the next round. There are three rounds before the quarter finals, semi finals and then the final...

Don't forget to tweet, facebook, google+ and spread the word about the characters and shows you love to try and boost your chances of winning.

All that is left to say, is let the battles commence...
