DAY 13! (Results from yesterday can be found here.)
The rules are as follows:
1. Two episodes go head to head for 24 hours. The episode that emerges as winner will go through to the next round.
2. Vote for your favourite episode, and tell us what you voted for.
3. Tell others about the competition.
4. Be respectful. This is a competition, but be friendly.
No real surprises in Round 2, though I did expect Arrow's 'Unthinkable' to falter at the hands of Bones 'The Woman in White'.
Both of The Mentalist's episodes feature today, with number 1 seed 'Blue Bird' taking on The 100's 'Twilight's Last Gleaming', and number 2 seed 'My Blue Heaven' against Game of Thrones' 'The Lion and the Rose'. We then have an all Castle affair as 'Veritas' battles against 'In the Belly of the Beast'. Finally, Hannibal's 'Mizumono' takes on Beauty and the Beast's 'Catch Me If You Can'.
The draw:
Don’t forget to share the poll; the more people vote, the more chance your episode has of winning!
Check back tomorrow for the next four polls from Round 3!

ReplyDeleteHannibal.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones I hope this isn't the end?
ReplyDeleteCastle Vertias and
Hannibal....I think this is Hannibal's last hurrah..
Nothing but The 100 for me today. It's the only show here that I watch.
ReplyDeleteI voted for The Mentalist, Castle - Veritas, and Beauty and the Beast. For once everything I voted for is winning.
ReplyDeleteThe 100 and Hannibal. Can't believe Mizumono is losing to BATB.
ReplyDeleteCastle, Veritas & Beauty & the Beast catch me if you can
ReplyDeleteI know! :-( So sad!
ReplyDeleteThe 100, Game of Thrones and Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteThe Mentalist, Game of Thrones (as much as I love "My Blue Heaven" I had to vote for GoT), Veritas and Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteThat's right! Thank gawd and Thank for for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteThe 100!
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the Beast.
ReplyDeleteIt's always BATB, Castle, The Mentalist and SPN. I don't know why I bother voting.
ReplyDeleteThe Mentalist and Hannibal.
ReplyDeleteBeauty and the beast
ReplyDeleteGO GO GO FANNIBALS
ReplyDeleteOnly Castle for me today - Veritas.
ReplyDeleteCOME ON HANNIBAL!!!!
ReplyDeleteWatch game of thrones and hannibal lose to these series is really sad. I lost my hope with this poll. I know it's not the best episode, but one that has more fans here on the site, but it is sad to know that the minority are those who enjoy a good show.
ReplyDeleteHannibal is holding well, but it's a hard competition.
ReplyDeleteHBO subscribers vs all procedural fans in the world and hannibal fans vs cw lovers who spend every day on the internet.
Hannibal (and it's loosing to BATB!) and Game of Thrones!
ReplyDeleteSurprise. I watch and like GoT and Hannibal too but my big love is Beauty and the Beast. Can't help it, I'm just hooked. So this happens too ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for being happy for us fans of BatB. Maybe you stopped watching too quickly ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd btw, I watch and like Hannibal too. But I love BatB more so my vote goes to them.
Game of Thrones and Hannibal shouldn't lose to those two other shows. They were far superior to them.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones and Beauty and the Beast!
ReplyDeleteLosing
ReplyDeleteit's hilarious how many Beauty and the Crap fans are in here
ReplyDeleteSkipped two of the polls because I don't like either show. Just picked Castle-Veritas and Lion and the Rose
ReplyDeleteThat's not very respectful.
ReplyDeleteI voted The Mentalist, Game of Thrones, Castle - Veritas.
ReplyDeleteThe same shows always make it to the final each year. Its not even about how good the episode was but how big the fan base is.
ReplyDeleteThe 100
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones
Hannibal
I never understood why The Mentalist and Castle had such passionate fanbases.
Thank you Mr. Spelling King! :D
ReplyDeleteI admit. I don't understand. CBS and ratings. It doesn't make sense. I don't perceive a lot of interest in their shows, but they always have very strong ratings and then they run away with polls like this one.
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of BATB fans on our site! It's actually kind of amazing, but I agree, in almost any other universe, this would never happen XD
ReplyDeletevote for the Mentalist and Batb
ReplyDeleteCastle I understand, because I do think Nathan Fillion in particular is very likable and I think Stana Katic has good chemistry with him on screen. I think it's a rarity to have a romantic-comedy that's also a crime drama/police procedural. I haven't watched since season 3, but I did enjoy it when I was watching it.
ReplyDeleteThe Mentalist is a show I have still yet to see, but it seems like it is very well written.
Love The Mentalist, but seriously up against GOT The Lion and the Rose, GOT should be winning in a landslide!
ReplyDeleteThere is no hype for a show whose metascore is 34.
ReplyDeleteJust annoying fans that swallow everything with the CW brand.
Actually Castle and The Mentalist are very similar are first. A charismatic main character, good dynamic between the leads, great supporting cast, enjoyable cases, and a good deal of humor. I'd say Castle puts more emphasis on the comedy though, The Mentalist has a darker overarching plot so it's a bit heavier on the drama side.
ReplyDeleteSo sure, Castle and TM are not as intense as Hannibal or GoT, but it's like comparing oranges to apples. They're just different shows. As far as procedurals go though, they're both really good IMHO.
I do wonder how besties manage to do this things, do they have multiple accounts or they just ask people who don't even watch the show to vote for it? cause seriously, for the life of me, I can't understand how so many people would think something so bad can even compete with something as good as that amazing Hannibal finale.
ReplyDeleteWith The 100 out, so am I. No more episodes for me to vote for. Have a great contest everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt's comments like these that make me hope BatB wins the whole thing, and no, I do not watch or like the show.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of BatB fans out in the world and they have an organized system to get the word out to each other quickly. There's no cheating or conspiracy. Good and bad are relative to your opinion. I for instance dislike both shows and have no idea why either are so popular. Hannibal is a bore to me and I feel it is overhyped so if it were up against anything I even remotely liked or felt neutral about, I would vote against it. In this case since I don't like either, I simply did not vote.
ReplyDeleteI have nothing against either series, I was just replying to Dale by stating that I think I can at least understand the appeal of Castle, because as I said, I did watch the first 3 seasons. Personally, I think I would like the Mentalist more. I prefer drama to comedy most of the time and serialized plots to procedural, but I watch so many shows as it is, that I just never got around to seeing it yet. One of these days I would love to catch up to Castle and The Good Wife for that matter as well!
ReplyDeleteHannibal I think is an acquired taste, but I'm a long time fan of the source material and love how Fuller has used it all to his advantage to expand on the franchise's themes and to tie it together a bit better than Thomas Harris did...
Oh I know you have nothing against Castle/TM, I was kinda replying to both of you at the same time :) And I'm with you on Hannibal. Took me a while to get into it and really appreciate it. I haven't read the source material though so I don't know how it compares to that.
ReplyDelete12 votes.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beuaty and the Cheat
As Dahne said, their fans are good at getting the word out. And there's no cheating here: repeat voting is blocked by both cookie and IP Address.
ReplyDeleteHow exactly do you think that there is cheating?
ReplyDeleteBATB
ReplyDeleteClear cookies and unplug your router then plug it back in. Voila, vote again.
ReplyDeleteNeither one is bad. I've tried adding them to my schedule but the case of the week format makes it unpleasant to binge catchup. There were some episodes that I really found boring whereas my serial shows never bore me even when episodes are awful.
ReplyDeleteWow, really?
ReplyDeleteNo one said it was a great show, but it has a certain something which has managed to attract a huge fan base, and that's what TV is all about. I can't imagine how there could be cheating involved, but if it makes you feel better to think so, then, ok...
Everybody has their own preference. For me, I watch&like The Mentalist and Game of Thrones, and I voted for both too. But when I need to choose from them, The Mentalist is always my first choice.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that's posible cause it makes a plausible explanation. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe thing about opinion is true but for example I watch Pretty Little Liars and I'm entertained by it but I would never say it's a good show or a quality one. But that's just me. I'm sorry if I was a little harsh I was a bit frustrated cause a minute before the poll closed Hannibal was winning.
ReplyDeleteIt does get frustrating to see a beloved show get beaten so narrowly. I sometimes think that it is worse than watching it get steamrolled. Sorry it didn't go your way today. My favorite, The 100, lost yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know, I love The 100 too, but it's like you say, when it's not even close you role with it.
ReplyDeleteI know right, I hate BaTB.
ReplyDeleteWell my faith in humanity (or at least in its taste for TV) has decreased immensely. Hannibal one of the best shot, acted, written and creative shows on TV lost to BATB, really?! Dammit. This is why I have a problem with these polls, only shows with massive fan bases can win.
ReplyDeleteTunnel bear and other such systems don't work with polldaddy :-)
ReplyDelete:x I just downloaded it and it let me vote 7 times. Same with proxy.org
ReplyDeleteYep but the votes don't actually go through :-) they are removed later by polldaddy
ReplyDeleteAh ok :) well that's a relief at least.
ReplyDeleteBut what if you vote from every shop which offers free wifi? those votes usually also go through?
ReplyDeleteYep if you wanted to that you could but you would need to clear your cookies as well as well as getting a life :-)
ReplyDeleteIts just an observation how it is possible to cheat on these polls. Because some of these results are strange :-)
ReplyDeleteWhich ones?
ReplyDeleteAll the ones BATB involved, who wins always? I cannot remember a poll when they lost one..
ReplyDeleteThat's not strange. The day that BATB loses a poll by an 80-20 landslide is when results are strange.
ReplyDeleteBatb has a huge online fanbase. It's one of the most popular shows online :-) it would be stranger if they didn't win
ReplyDeleteNobody always wins, that's my point, but they seems to. I am not talking about landslides, nor am I a BATB hater. I just wanted to say that the polls can be manipulated by waiting in line in your coffee shop or where ever you go (even schools offer free wifi nowadays) or voting with all your families devices with different IP etc...
ReplyDeleteThe original point of discussion was can the polls be manipulated? And all I wanted to say is yes..
Of course every poll that has ever existed can be manipulated from silly fun online polls to presidential elections
ReplyDeleteBatB beating Hannibal? Oh dear. That result is just embarrassing ;)
ReplyDeleteThe beauty and the beast
