Share on Reddit


Drum roll please.....and here it is: The 2014 Character Cup ranking list and brackets. I hope your favorites made it in. Below you will find the ranking and the bracket. I apologize for the teeny print on the bracket but if you click on the magnifying glass at the bottom you should be able to adjust it.  You can also view or download it for yourself. It is a fillable form so I encourage you to create either a bracket of who you'd like to win or make your predictions of who's going to and share them. Remember the conversation is a whole lot more important than the results. You can also e-mail me your predictions at dahne@spoilertv.com and I will keep track of how everyone's doing. Just remember to attach your picks and tell me your screen name on SpoilerTV. Either way, enjoy! Contest starts Sunday evening.

  6. Well there are less awesome female than male characters imo on TV, so it would be easier for Fringe fans to vote for Olivia than it would be to choose between Walter and many other great guys.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think it will be fun to discuss some of the shows that oft times go unnoticed in polls like these. I look forward to hearing more about the characters I don't know yet.

    don't be surprise if he wins the entire thing.....

    ReplyDelete
  9. Christopher DeBono11 July 2014 at 21:14

    Prediction:
    Final will be The Mentalist (Patrick) v BATB (Vincent) again. Instead of one knocking out the other early on, they're on opposite sides and will takeover their sides. BATB (Vincent) will win.

    Arrow (Felicity) or Supernatural (Dean) will win the bottom left section until it goes up against The Mentalist (Patrick).
    Castle (Kate) or OUAT (Regina) will win the bottom right section until it goes up against BATB (Vincent).

    Who I'd like to win:
    Buffy Summers, The Doctor, Dana Scully or Veronica Mars. Pretty much characters who have made an impact on TV.

    Here's hoping I'm totally wrong and we get a surprise winner! :)

  10. start_wearing_purple11 July 2014 at 21:14

    You couldn't manipulate it to force a Finch/Linus showdown???

    ReplyDelete
  11. My big first round heartaches are:


    Finch vs The Doctor, Scully vs. Chandler, and Veronica vs. Chuck. No matter how they turn out, 3 great characters are foing to be gone too soon.

    ReplyDelete
  12. It depends on what fails11 July 2014 at 21:17

    Mentalist, BATB and Castle characters are the top 3 seeds.


    Give up people, fight for the 4th place on the semifinals (unless SPN fans decide to take it Dean to it too), consider you character the real winner winner if he/she makes the quarterfinals.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I look forward to talking about Ichabod in particular as a character for as long as he makes it in. He fascinates me.

    ReplyDelete
  14. It depends on what fails11 July 2014 at 21:18

    Since Game of Thrones is an esemble show, there will be no strange at the semifinals.


    Can't wait to see Walter knocked out at the first round and Buffy or VM at the round of 16.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Probably but it will be a great discussion of some overlooked characters along the way and that's the focus, not the end result.

    ReplyDelete
  16. A lot surprised me too. Sometimes it was the shows that came out a lot stronger than I expected. Sometimes it was which character ended up representing their show. I think it will be a fun group to discuss.

    ReplyDelete
  17. It depends on what fails11 July 2014 at 21:21

    PS: Jane is so relevant for TV that his name is written wrong in the bracket.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Walter only got 6 nominations so for awhile there I was concerned about Fringe as a whole. Olivia got 15 noms. I too wish he were in here but I'm glad Fringe is still represented. Plus I am still going to talk about him throughout the contest because I think they built his characters up well throughout the series. He should be an example for a lot of writers.

    ReplyDelete
  19. SHIELDNCISArrowfan11 July 2014 at 21:23

    I interesting to see some character who get knocked out early or some surprise of character who move on

    ReplyDelete
  20. I agree that it was because of only being able to nominate 2 males and 2 females that Olivia surpassed him. If it had just been nominate your favorite 4 characters, things might have been different. Sad that there are not as many great female characters on TV as male ones.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I am personally hoping for a few upsets just because it will be more fun that way. There are some characters rankeds much higher than I expected and some that didn't make it that I thought for sure would so I have hopes for this one.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Im just glad too that someone from Fringe made it , as when i was looking through the table i was worried no one had.

    ReplyDelete
  23. SHIELDNCISArrowfan11 July 2014 at 21:25

    nice catch

    ReplyDelete
  24. I will either be assured 3 favorite characers moving on or 3 out too early for the same reason. This is why I wanted to have everyone else determine the rankings. I can't be blamed for someone's favorite be knocked out right from the beginning. :-) Even if it is my favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's what I do. I really don't care who wins, it's about having other characters getting as far as possible. I do watch 3 out of the 4 monster shows on this site (not a Castle fan).

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thanks so much! I will correct it from here on out. If you see any others, please let me know. I'd hate to get it wrong for the entire contest.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't know. I've never watched 24 and I've watched Nikita, but I feel like Jack's going to get that one.

    ReplyDelete
  28. SHIELDNCISArrowfan11 July 2014 at 21:29

    I wanted to see a Sherlock (Sherlock) vs Sherlock(Elementary) guess it won't happen....

    ReplyDelete
  29. There could be a Finch-Ben final, I think.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh someone who likes Alex more. Glad he has some love. I like both characters.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I´m guessing Vincent or Patrick Jane is gonna win.

    I would like to see Walter White, Tyrion Lannister, Hannibal Lecter or Benjamin Linus win.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ha! Let's hope this contest isn't to the death though. :-P


    I am just hoping Stiles gets through the first round, but I'd love to see him going on further. As far as the nominations go, Stiles and Lydia had by far the most nominations with Derek next. Dominion surprised me more in how far up it is in the rankings than in the one chosen to be honest.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I don't know if i did this right but I only filled in the ones i'd vote for. My winner ended up being Vanessa Ives, im guessing most of the ones I put in will get knocked out pretty early. Sorry if its too small to read.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I was a bit disappointed that they are running against each other in the first round. I prefer kick butt characters and I wish they both had the chance to move to round 2.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I suspect Jack will win as well. Not only is he more well-known but he has the advantage of his show currently airing, which always helps.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm was shocked that he had so many nominations to be honest, simply because it is a new show. I am glad people are getting so into Dominion. I too hope for a season 2.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Same I expected it to be Michael IF it made the list let alone how high up it is. But it got attention on Twitter and we're really giving it love there. Lots of fans supporting the show and loving it.

    ReplyDelete
  38. The usual suspects getting the Teen Wolf vote! Im more surpsied Helix made it, and Julia of all people! She was my least favourite in the show :P RIGGED! Joking lol!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I really hope SyFy at least give it a chance, im really loving it, I didn't expect it to be this good at all.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I actually expect Walter White to win his first round. I do agree that the third round will be tough for both Buffy and Veronica Mars. I adore these two female roles and it will be fun to talk about them for as long as they last in the contest.

    ReplyDelete
  41. It depends on what fails11 July 2014 at 21:49

    All 64 predictions:
    Patrick Jane: runner-up
    Paul Brigger - 1st round
    Nikita/Jack Bauer - toss-up, whoever wins is out at the 2nd round
    Buffy - 2nd round or round of 16 (faces Sherlock)
    Leslie - 1st round
    Sherlock - 2nd round or round of 16 (faces Buffy)
    Archangel - 2nd round (it's the weirdest result on that list)
    Sydney - 1st round
    Erin - 1st round
    Bellamy - round of 16
    Ben - 1st round
    Vanessa - 1st round
    Temperance - 2nd round
    Stiles - quarterfinals
    Eric - 1st round
    Felicity - quarterfinals
    Fiona - 1st round
    Donna/Rachel - toss-up, the winner falls on the 2nd round
    Alicia - 1st round
    Carrie - 1st round
    Elijah/Reddington - closest 2nd round contest, the winner falls at round of 16
    Hannibal/Sarah - again it's Hannibal vs Orphan Black, the winner of this second round contest falls to Dean at round of 16
    Annie - 1st round
    Melinda - 1st round (it might win against Sarah, but I'm not sure)
    Daryl - 2nd round
    Maura - 1st round
    Mary - 1st round (yep, Reign fandom can't beat supernatural's)
    Dean - semifinals
    Vincent - champion
    Keeley- 1st round
    Sheldon - 2nd round
    Ziva - 1st round (Sheldon vs Ziva is the ultimate popularity contest since TBTT and NCIS are the tops shows in viewers, but I bet Sheldon wins)
    Ichabod - 2nd round
    Cohle - 1st round
    Olivia (Fringe)- round of 16 (going to bet on her against Ichabod but she might lose)
    Da Vinci - 1st round
    Tyrion - round of 16 (unless he upsets Damon)
    Yang - 2nd round
    Olivia (Scandal) - 1st round
    Walter - 2nd round (close contest but at least this one I will bet on Heisenberg)
    Damon - quarterfinals
    Max - 1st round
    Beckett - semifinals
    Lagertha - 1st round
    Julia - 1st round
    Norma Bates - 2nd round
    Barney - 2nd round
    Joan - 1st round
    Finch - round of 16
    Doctor - 1st round unless a whovian invasion happens
    Kiera - 1st round
    Derek - 1st round
    Scully/Chandler - 2nd round for the winner
    Veronica Mars/Chuck - 2nd round for the winner
    Regina vs Emily - quarterfinals for the winner (yep, I'm betting on this match at round of 16)


    Show airing and show from CW are in advantage compared to the others.

    ReplyDelete
  42. No problem :) It was an understandable mistake, not that big of a deal! It's now correct on the list but not yet on the bracket :)

    ReplyDelete
  43. The "real" winner will be the character that wins in the end and I really hope that this contest will not be hampered by people's sour grapes. That makes it less fun for everyone. In the end, I hope the "real" winner is the people who participate in the contest and have fun enjoying the discussions along the way. Internet contests are never really for deciding a winner but for making it a great place to chat about your favorite characters until it's done.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I hope that's everyone's attitude. It's an internet contest with zero practical ramifications for the outcome, so why get bogged down or upset about who wins and loses. Instead have a blast talking about the characters you love.

    ReplyDelete
  45. SHIELDNCISArrowfan11 July 2014 at 21:53

    Patrick Jane not Patrick James

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't manipulate anything in contests. That's how I stay sane. :-P Although I do think it would have been a lot of fun if they had gone up agaisnt each other. Plus...Finch all the way.

    ReplyDelete
  47. This looks hard. I say we declare Paul Lynde the winner and call it a day. :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Sadly Sherlock from Elementary only got 2 nominations so he wouldn't have been in the contest even if Watson hadn't beat him.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I am going to print 2 of these. One for who I want to win and who I think will win. These are some great choices. I just hope all the fans make it a good contest but have fun with it. I want some upsets, some great battles and character discussion! Like Dominion's Michael. I haven't watched yet so I want to learn what makes him special. Can't wait for Sunday!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I am so sorry. I promise I will fix it. That's what I get for doing this in the wee hours of morning. Please let me know if there's anything else wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  51. By the way i was inputing my predictions into the document and i noticed it said "Patrick James" which should be Patrick Jane.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Christopher DeBono11 July 2014 at 22:00

    Oh I'm not saying they were manipulated, it's just how the numbers came up (and pretty much the top 5 were expected anyway). I was actually thinking in future years (if this cup is continued) it could be themed. Different themes could bring up some different names and lead to different discussions. :)

    Favorite LGBT Character
    Favorite Non-Human Character
    Favorite Villain
    ect

    ReplyDelete
  53. Just fixed it. Thanks. I only had 2 hours of sleep the night before and was trying to get the known characters in early this morning so it wouldn't take me as long when the polls closed.

    ReplyDelete
  54. SHIELDNCISArrowfan11 July 2014 at 22:02

    who won last time character cup was done

    ReplyDelete
  55. It will actually determine how I vote in the second round because I think I would have voted for Walter over Ichabod but now it will definitely be Ichabod.

    ReplyDelete
  56. everyoneissleeping11 July 2014 at 22:03

    lol... I wonder who is going to win this thing ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  57. I just corrected it there. Correcting the bracket takes a little more time because I have to upload the new bracket to Scribd, tag it in the program, and change the HTML in the post for both my blog and the SpoilerTV one before it shows up correctly.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Thanks so much. I fixed it.

    ReplyDelete
  59. 2 hours sleep , i don't know how you are still awake i know i wouldn't be.

    ReplyDelete
  60. SHIELDNCISArrowfan11 July 2014 at 22:13

    I surprise that Brendan Johnson from The Closer nor Benson from SVU made the list.......two well like female characters

    ReplyDelete
  61. It's always great to have new blood so to say in the contest. I hope it does well.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Helix was a real shock. I would have prefered Daniel to make it in or Hatake because they were my favorite 2 characters and quite frankly Daniel deserves it after what they did to him. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  63. Usually I am up-to-date on show ratings, but I have gotten behind htis summer. How is it doing?

    ReplyDelete
  64. I would love to see Walter White vs. Tyrion Lannister. Not sure why but I'm curious as to how that one would turn out given that the shows are nothing alike and yet many people seem to be a fan of both.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Okay, tell me how you got your bracket to work here. I've been trying multiple things and all I get is a blurry mess or only one part of the bracket.

    ReplyDelete
  66. It took me ages cos everytime id save it when I opened it back up it was blank, but I just clicked the link you gave, filled it out there, took a screenshot of it, cropped it using Microsoft Paint and then posted it here :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. It premiered with 0.6. then got two 0.4's and last nights episode got a 0.5, it's been matching Defiance in the Demo and their viewer numbers are freaky close as well :P

    ReplyDelete
  68. Yh they are my two favourites as well. It was such cheating giving him a twin so he could sort of stay in it but im glad they did it!
    I know I remember you said it to someone else before! I really hope it never escalates above a joke though. I dont think it will though, that sort of thing never happens on this site :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. I'm thinking it should have a chance to win its first round. Not sure after, but fingers crossed.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I think Tyrion will beat Damon if they meet in the contest.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I agree in everything except:


    1. I think Patrick Jane takes it all because of how the episode contest ended.
    2. I say Jack over Nikita, but yes he's out afterwards
    3. Buffy over Sherlock and loses next round
    4. Sydney beats Archangel and then out
    5. I think Ben will beat Bellamy, but that was surprisingly one of my hardest calls
    6. I think Bones goes tothe third round
    7. I think, but certainly don't hope, Stiles goes quickly because Teen Wolf fans are hit and miss on these things.
    8. I have Rachel over Donna, butyes they don't make it past round 2
    9. I'm picking Reddington over Elijah butit will be close
    10. Originally I was going to say Hannibal but after the Emmy slight, I think Sarah has a slight advantage as people remain ticked off
    11. I'm picking Ichabod over Olivia simply because Sleepy Hollow has started shooting again and it's keeping the fandom alert on the internet
    12. I'm picking Tyrion over Damon but this was another I think will be very close
    13. I think Barney goes to round 3, but narrowly
    14. My most controversial pick - I think The Doctor beats Finch
    15. I have Scully narrowly beating Chandler, although X-Files didn't do well in the nomination round
    16. Chuck narrowly beats Veronica and I cry. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  72. I agree but it won't be by much.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Okay trying to post my predictions. Part of it got cut off at the bottom. Thanks @Teen Wolfers for your help.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Trying once more to post my predictions bracket. Thanks @Teen Wolfers for the help.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Bottom part of my predictions. Hope this works. Thanks again @Teen Wolfers for your help.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I think those are the kind of things that the USD Polls are supposed to focus on. I would love to see people add more topics like these instead of the "Who do you think Character X should end up with?" type ones. It might be fun for people to brainstorm the options here and then submit them. That could be a great way to discuss TV.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Thanks so much! I couldn't find a way to be able to crop the whole thing, even when I reduced the size, but I think I've got the hang of it now. Believe it or not, I've never used Paint before. I just figured it was for my kiddos to draw.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Oh come now, you know Thelma Harper could easily take him. Her wig and that stare alone could frighten any posers to the crown.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Not sure why it is coming up as guest both these times and I cannot delete it myself. Can I get some help, Andy? Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Castiel from Supernatural won, partly due to the actor tweeting about it.

    ReplyDelete
  81. That's what I did too. Let's just say that my predictions and who I want to win are nothing alike, and I'm good with that.


    There are several characters on here that I know very little about so I too am hoping that people will explain why they like the characters they do. It may inspire me to start a new show.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Instead of being disgruntled, how about tell us who your favorite character in this is and why. Let's start some great TV discussion.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I am not surprised about Brenda because her show's off the air and not likely to be the first person people think of to nominate. I was shocked that Benson only got 2 nominations though. It's a strong female role and between the regular episodes and all those cable marathons, it's still very present as a show.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I'll see your Thelma Harper and raise you an Aunt Esther.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Oooh, wouldn't want to be between those 2 in a fight. That's one big Sass-Off. But man would I love to see it.

    ReplyDelete
  86. All I know is that before too long someone is gonna get hit with a purse.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Ha! Most definitely. Mama's gonna knock you out.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Thanks for reminding everyone to play nice or take it too seriously...now, if everyone would take your suggestion, we will all have fun. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

    my prediction

    ReplyDelete
  91. No problem :) I hadn't used it much either until I started making headers for twitter, it took me a while to get the hang of it!

    ReplyDelete
  92. No problem :) I can't say much about your predictions since I don't know most of them, but who do you want to win if you could pick anyone on the list?

    ReplyDelete
  93. Hopefully it will work this time.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I think Defiance and Dominion have a lot of the same viewers within the demo. The total viewers are a little more different depending on the week. But yeah they are quite close.

    ReplyDelete
  95. lostrocks4ever12 July 2014 at 02:16

    No one I nominated made the list so I'll be going for the other characters from the shows I nominated which is Olivia Dunham and tyrion although I don't think either will win. Based of the episode cup we just had I reckon either the mentalist or beauty and the beast characters will take it but I don't watch either of those. I'd be happy to see dean take it as well coz I do still love him despite all the terrible character writing this last two seasons for both the winchesters. I'm happy it's dean and not Castiel who made it through though, I'm so tired of that angel storyline.
    Would be happy to see Melinda may, Ben Linus, ichabod crane and Damon do well as well.
    There are a lot of shows on here that I don't watch so hoping to get some new shows out of this too. Am probably gonna start orphan black or sherlock this week

  96. Sorry your favs did not make it in. Hopefully your other favorites will go far though. I've only seen season 1 of Orphan Black but it was good. If you start it, let me know what you think.

  97. Thanks for sharing your picks. I appreciate you e-mailing them to me as well.

  98. I wouldn't underestimate Dean Winchester, this character just won TV Guides "Favorite TV Hero of all times". Jensen has tons of fans , and his Dean has many more fans then Supernatural itself. So it can reach the final. But I have to agree, most likely it will be between BaTB and Mentalist

    ReplyDelete
  99. Here is my wish list of wins. If I could pick one, it would still be Dean Winchester. I may have dropped Supernatural in season 8, but Dean is still my favorite character of all. I also think it would be fun if a classic show or a kick butt female warrior won. In other words, Buffy. Since my favorite female character of all time did not make the contest, she would do quite nicely.

  100. Let's cross our fingers for great turnout and better comments. I really want to hear why people love the characters they do.

    ReplyDelete
  101. That is a great idea. I have a fantastic Bobby picture that used to work for Twitter but now his heads cut off with the new format. I'd love to try to get it back for my Twitter feed.

    I am not disgruntled
    :-) I find these competitions very enjoyable, hence the smiley face in my
    previous comment. I have no problem with the majority’s favourite winning, even
    if I do not find certain TV series particularly appealing. As for my
    favourites, I am rooting for Finch, mostly. Other than dear Harold, I would be
    happy to see Melinda May, Regina Mills, Ben Linus, and Dana Scully to make it past
    the first round. A little sad to see that Will Graham did not make the list.

    ReplyDelete
  103. That would be pretty cool if Jack won given that he's big enough for a TV resurrection. Just to clear up the bracket though because I think a lot of people are going to be confused. In the semi-finals it will be the character from the top left against the bottom left and the character from the top right against the bottom right. So for yours, it would be Jack Bauer vs. Raymond Reddington and Ichabod Crane vs. Harold Finch in the semi-finals and whoever won those two polls would go against each other in the finals.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Awesome. I would love to see Scully go really far. She was a TV hero of mine in my post-college years. Sorry about Will. If it makes your feel better, he got 9 nominations which was very respectable. Hannibal got 17.

    ReplyDelete
  105. First thing that came to my head when I read this. Gotta love Crowley

    Castiel: "Don't worry about the Winchesters."
    Crowley: "Don't worry about... what, like Lucifer didn't worry? Or Michael, or Lilith, or Alistair, or Azazel didn't worry? Am I the only game piece on the board who doesn't underestimate those denim-wrapped nightmares?"



    Still Supernatural has fallen a bit from grace on SpoilerTV. Add in that you can only vote once per IP and the polls are only 24 hours long, sihow with a bigger daily presence on STV are likely to take it, Dean's continued popularity notwithstanding.

    I have just finished
    watching all Hannibal episodes in a little marathon. Nothing like a good recommendation
    from other TV enthusiasts; I would have never thought to watch this show
    otherwise. Oh, and the
    one-character-per-show limit is a good idea; it is much more interesting this
    way.

  107. Yea!!! Just in time for me to avoid homework again!


    Bracket coming right up.....

    it a typo I should have put FInch vs Bauer not Reddington

    ReplyDelete
  109. Now that would be quite the finale. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  110. Ha! So glad to help with your falling grades.

    ReplyDelete
  111. SpoilerTV is my go-to spot to find good TV I've missed. I haven't had a contest yet where I didn't find out about some show I need to put on my to-watch list.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Thanks for the help! I finally got it with my phone (I think that's how I got it in there twice). Somethings are easier for me to do on my phone than my laptop!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I emailed my brackets. I think Kate Beckett will take it all but I hope Dean does. I think there are going to be a few surprises!

    ReplyDelete
  114. It depends if Tumblr and other websites find the poll.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I would submit some if I knew which ones weren't covered yet.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Have to say that when we were doing the Best Show contest, I would always make sure to contact the premiere SPN fansites from Russia, Brazil, and India. First time we lost that contest, it started after I went back to school and I didn't get to connect with them like usual. Just saying. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  117. Thanks. I got them. I hope more people will e-mail or post their brackets. We could have a little contest as well to see who gets bragging rights. Just adding to the fun.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Awesome. Thanks for doing that. In case we do make it a contest, who did you pick for:


    1. Dean Winchester vs. Mary, Queen of Scot's

    2. Daryl vs. who ever wins in #1
    3. Regina Mills vs. Derek Morgan
    4. Veronics vs. whoever wins in #3

    ReplyDelete
  119. In case we do make this into a bragging rights contest, who did you pick for:


    1. Dean Winchester vs. Mary, Queen of Scotts
    2. Regina Mills vs. Derek Morgan

    ReplyDelete
  120. At this point we've had several repeat USD polls so feel free to do whichever ones you want. I'd love to participate in ones like these either way.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Dang nabbbit - didn't see that got cut off!
    1. Dean (although I do love Adelaide Kane's portrayal of Mary)
    2. Dean
    3. Derek
    4. Veronica


    Can't wait for Sunday - thanks again for putting this together!

    ReplyDelete
  122. Just a reminder - if you want to be part of the bragging rights competition, fill out the bracket above with your predictions of poll results (what you think will happen, not want you want to happen) by clicking the link above the brackets. Then either e-mail it to me at dahne@spoilerTV.com or post a screencap of it in the comments.


    You have until the first poll goes live on Sunday afternoon. As of Friday night at 11 pm CST, I have predictions from Rob F, Emma, SHIELDNCISArrowFan, Toni, Teen Wolfers, and itdependsonwhatfails. Come join the fun!

    ReplyDelete
  123. I'd do the same. Now I have Twitter. Mawha :P

    ReplyDelete
  124. I tried about 382 times to get it all and I never could. It's frustrating. I've got you filled in now and ready for the prediction competition within the character contest. And yes, that is about as clear as mud. :-P

    ReplyDelete
  125. I love your evil laugh. All internet polls are silly bits of fun, but I did always enjoy playing armchair general to marshal the troops and see how many people we could make aware of the contest. It was a fun strategizing exercise. Sometimes social media rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  126. everyoneissleeping12 July 2014 at 11:40

    Same here :-) All the more reason to love the contests.

    ReplyDelete
  127. Not sure why its coming up as a guest. It didn't even show up when i posted it , im surprised to actually see it here.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Im very optimistic and hope for this scenario to happen. ^^

  129. I could be wrong on this, but I remember his tweet coming only after it was over.

  130. DEAN WINCHESTER

    ReplyDelete
  131. Mine was more who I wanted to win, not my predictions, I definitely dont think Penny Dreadful has enough of a following for Vanessa to win unfortunately. I normally don't know the characters that win these things :/

    ReplyDelete
  132. I understand that. If you want to change something, let me know.

    ReplyDelete
  133. I had the exact same problem. I think it's a Disqus glitch.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Me either, don't feel alone. I tend to have my core shows with a DVR full of "To watch later" and still some of these characters that win, I never hear of outside of Twitter. Thanks to Dahne, I have two must see shows on my DVR but I'm so late in getting to them, I'm going to wait for seasons end. Graceland and Dominion.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Glad to help. I almost always find great TV through these contests. The best of which was Veronica Mars, and I am still grateful to Wilson for suggesting it.

  137. Thanks for sharing your predictions. I presume you think Ben will beat Bellamy, but I was unclear on who you think will win between Archangel Michael from Dominion and Sydney Bristow from Alias. Let me know and you'll be entered in the predictions contest. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  138. I think I got a bit mixed up ha.

    Sydney Bristow from Alias to beat Archangel Michael from Dominion

    Yes to Ben to beat Bellamy
