With that in mind, it's probably worth pointing out that after today, we only have seven days left of this competition, after which we will have named SpoilerTV's favourite series for another year.

ReplyDeletePerson of Interest and House for me today
ReplyDeletehaha! Revenge won! :D
ReplyDeleteNothing for me today :(
Person of Interest and House
ReplyDeleteThe Borgias.
ReplyDeleteVoted for Person of Interest because it has had 4 years of pure brilliance (and still is) while Outlander has just started to become a great show.
ReplyDeletePerson Of Interest and House.
ReplyDeletePOI and House. I miss House and Wilson.
ReplyDeleteOutlander! I'm obsessed.
ReplyDeleteToo bad The 100 is out! No vote for me today.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest and House
ReplyDeleteOutlander for me :)
ReplyDeleteOutlander and House. I don't watch Person Of Interest but I thought that was one of the most popular STV shows and it's losing. heh
ReplyDeleteHouse to win the entire competition!!!!! :D 💜
ReplyDeleteSAME!
ReplyDeletepoi and -missed so much- gregory house
ReplyDeleteIs Outlander that good? It has a enormous fanbase and it's fairly new. Should I start watching the show?
ReplyDeleteOutlander, without question.
ReplyDeleteIt's based on a book series that's been around for 20 years and has sold 25 million copies worldwide which is why the show already has a huge fan base. I haven't read the books and I'm really enjoying it. I hope to start reading the books soon cause I can't wait to find out what happens.
ReplyDeleteJust Person of Interest today.
ReplyDeleteThere is no contest here, POI is hands down better even though i quite like Outlander. House also gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteOutlander? I haven't even heard of it! POI and House for me
ReplyDeleteJust Person of Interest for me today.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen, Outlander apparently it's pretty popular, voted POI good luck with that, and I still like the eccentric Dr House so he gets my vote, there are a lot of upsets going on so good luck to House!!!!
ReplyDeleteLoved The Borgias but House wins this one.
ReplyDeleteNot looking good for Person of Interest, but I voted for it anyway. Also house for me as well.
ReplyDeletePOI and House for me today!
ReplyDeleteWow. can't believe Person of Interest is going to lose so badly.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Outlander keep going against shows I can't help but choose? I love Outlander, it's such a great show, but POI has been a great show for three seasons and it looks like it will keep on going like that, so I have to vote for POI because you can't compare half of a strong season against three.
ReplyDeleteAnd for poll 2 House, because even if I wasn't a fan of the later seasons, it had several years of greatness. So that's that.
Wow 745 votes for outlander , I looked about an hour ago and it had like 200 votes. Maybe it could win this year. I may have to check it out seeing as it is so popular.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an outside bet for the title (from the start, I mean - now I'm struggling to see anything beat it).
ReplyDeleteI dread to think what the final result will be , at this rate who knows how many votes it will get. If it wins the whole competition then it will definitely be a huge surprise seeing as the first season just finished.
ReplyDeleteNot even the first season - just 1a, as far as I understand it.
ReplyDeleteyep your right , it is on a mid-season break which makes it even more surprising that is doing so well , must have a huge following.
ReplyDeleteWill you not be reviewing Scorpion or something anymore? I noticed your name was taken of the spreadsheet. Your reviews were good.
ReplyDeleteOutlander
ReplyDeleteNo competition....hands down it is Outlander
ReplyDeleteOnly outlander for me today,very easy choice.It's a brilliant show!
ReplyDeleteI've only seen one episode of Outlander and I really liked it. Hope to be able to marathon it soon. That said, I hope it's as good as their fervent fanbase. I'm shocked at the number of votes already.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying the series, but I found it difficult to review. It's in good hands with Lisa, I feel. Thanks though.
ReplyDeleteOutlander
ReplyDeleteWOW, Person of Interest is so the better show and is one of the best shows on TV. Disappointed that there are so many Outlander fanbois
ReplyDeleteWTF POI losing by 700 to Outlander!
ReplyDeleteVoted House this time because I do like it as a casual watch.
ReplyDeleteVoted Outlander for the other one just because it seems more my kind of show than Person of Interest (which my mom watches)
Wow, I didn't know the Outlander fan base was so big! Isn't it a relative new show?
ReplyDeleteYep, very new. 2014, as it says next to its logo ;)
ReplyDeleteFair enough, I am on the verge of stopping reviewing and watching Z Nation.
ReplyDeleteOops, that must have slipped past me! Anyway, I see in other comments that it is adapted from a popular book which explains the huge fan base.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest and House. Looks like POI is going to lose this time :-(
ReplyDeleteOutlander, no doubt.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm FLOORED by POI's complete annihilation by Outlander. I don't think I've ever seen such a knockout within minutes in these things. I actually don't watch either show, but maybe I should check out Outlander. Looks quite impressive for such a new show (I realize it's based on well known books, but still).
ReplyDeleteMe too! Never heard of it. Guess I'd better check it out.
ReplyDeleteI never really got into House, but I'm watching the Borgias now and I really like it. I loved The Sopranos and The Borgias is like The Medieval Sopranos.
ReplyDeleteit looks like its rivals BATB crazy fandom.
ReplyDeletePOI
ReplyDeleteWoah, kudos to Outlander for absolutely obliterating Person of Interest! They deserve it for having such a breathtaking show.
ReplyDeleteOutlander!!!
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest and House
ReplyDeleteHoly shit Outlander is slaughtering POI by almost a 950 votes,GAH!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit shocked by how strong the Outlander fanbase got over just a few episodes... it's slaughtering POI!
ReplyDeleteSerious question - Is Outlander seen simultaneously here and in the UK?
ReplyDeleteNot so serious question - Why couldn't this show have been up against a certain show I wish had been taken out in the first round?
Vote for House!
ReplyDeleteWail of misery..... I am forced to choose between Outlander and Person of Interest....I'm going with Outlander because I have been thoroughly enthralled this season...and POI hasn't always been perfect. Though if this was POI's first season I'd be a babbling heap on the floor incapable of making any choice at all.
ReplyDeleteNothing on the other poll.
Not fair, Outlander is a chick flicker, making guys outnumbered. I'll be curious to see what Gotham does.....That's a great show so far, even if it is on the dreaded FOX Network.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Outlander is lame.
ReplyDeleteI was expecting Outlander to be getting killed, wow.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one who feels like Person of Interest is a grey-skies Burn Notice?
There must be a big or something because there is no way that chick flick is neuter that the masterpiece that is poi!!
ReplyDeleteThis world does not deserve you, Person of Interest
ReplyDeleteHuh? Where in the world are male-oriented shows not the dominant force for television programming?
ReplyDeleteCrying unfairness on behalf of a CBS procedural is pretty funny though. Next thing you know, we're gonna beg to give the Yankees a handicap.
Person of Interest
ReplyDeleteI'm kind of sad that some PoI fans feel the need to insult the other show and its fans. Calling it a chick flick? Really? Comparing them to the notorious part of the BatB fandom when Outlander fans haven't showcastped any kind of rabid and excessive behavior? Give me a break and stop being such a sore loser.
ReplyDeleteI watch both shows but I voted for Outlander because It is a truly fascinating show and I've been enjoying it more than PoI.
Is Outlander a new show? I don't know when the show started airing. Crazy amount of fans voting here. Even Game of Thrones doesn't normally get that many votes. I don't get those channels you pay extra for (Staz, HBO, etc.)
ReplyDeleteIt started airing in August and is currently on hiatus.
ReplyDeleteWell there was a book series before.
ReplyDeleteIt's based on books and if it's getting this much votes I think it will win.
ReplyDeleteI think they meant online. Shows that often have a lot of females tend to have more fans online. CBS has a lot of male-oriented shows but the fanboys don't talk and vote much online. Not like fangirls do. Speaking as a fangirl here.
ReplyDeleteIt's just a fan poll. Fangirls vs. fanboys. Though there are plenty of women who watch POI.
ReplyDeleteOutlander has a very dedicated fanbase because its based on books which have been going for years now. Personally I can't see the appeal but some people are fans of a show and then others are FANS of a show, really big huge fans and Outlander seems to inspire that.
ReplyDeleteThe books are so popular I'm surprised they went with TV show and not movies like most hits with romance involved.
ReplyDeletei know but outlander just has 6 episodes how can it defeat a veteran?
ReplyDeleteIt has books. Quite popular books. My hairdresser mentioned it to me once.
ReplyDeleteI know about the books. It was actually mentioned to me last year by 2 hairdressers.
ReplyDeleteFor some things. In fact, I have a whole soapbox about the use of fangirl. (Not that I think you are using it in it's usual derogatory way :-)
ReplyDeleteOutlander's marketing opened up a whole negative can of worms with the attitude that shows marketed and/or geared towards women would not, and maybe ought not, find "mainstream" (read male viewership) success. I personally think women are conditioned to accept either a male or female orientation. Men aren't asked to do the same. For some reason, in this case, I got involved in the cause. To read a comment that a small second-tier cable show geared towards women was at an advantage after that enormous online discussion was both funny to me and a bit annoying. Plus, I don't like the idea of simply being geared towards women is an automatic negative.
oh!that could be it
ReplyDeleteOutlander, its a brillantly crafted show with impressive scenery, score, acting and dialogue to match. I want to clear the record, this show isnt just for girls, guys can enjoy it too, on Social Media, there are guys who enjoy the show. You cant simply dislike a show based on you preceptions without giving it a shot. I speak from experience as a guy who's throughly enjoyed this masterpice. There's a reason this show is praised by every critic I've read.
ReplyDeleteRomance isnt the domiant factor, its more of an afterthought, though alot of people are there for it. If your worried about that, dont let that put you off, its much more than that.
It has action, a beautiful leading lady and intriguing storylines with timetravel and history. This is a show that deals with politics very well. If you liked Disney's Brave or Game of Thrones, it has elements, but this show is very genre defying, its unlike anything on TV I've ever seen. I encourage guys and girls who havent seen it to give it a shot, everyone whos tried it, that I know and have talked to have enjoyed.
I also really like Person of Interest too.
Yeah I've watched romances and there are really great ones. However the POI has more complexity and originality than any romance I've seen. I think it really depends on what someone defines as quality TV - in reference to school subjects. Is it literature class or is it math? Which class is it? It is truly down to opinion.
ReplyDeleteIt is incredible how ingrained the male/female dichotomy can be with--all of its inherent hierarchy. Math vs lit. Romance versus action. And then we start using "romance" as an automatic negative. As though Finch's relationship with the the illustrator didn't vastly flesh out his character and that of the machine. Relationships are the lifeblood of drama. Oh it's a romance, recommended by hairdressers because they liked a boy. That sort of discussion is why I got involved in responding and why I get on a soapbox about it.
ReplyDeleteYou keep massively editing your comments without noting it. It makes the conversation very difficult to follow.
ReplyDeleteIt just bugs me when people just read/watch for the hot person. I watch/read for the plot whether action, romance, family, friendship, science fiction, drama, etc. Hot people are a dime a dozen on TV and in books. Not to say I don't drool, for lack of a better word, over some guys on TV, I do, but I don't watch a show just because I like them. I'm not into the idea of checking out Outlander because I'm not into historic stuff and HBO, Starz, etc. can be kind of racey for my tastes (Game of Thrones has rape, so forth).
ReplyDeleteSurprised by the PoI vs. Outlander result. I love Outlander, it's a great show, even better IMHO than the book, at least till the point where I was able to read it. Yet, it's an adaptation of a proven success while PoI is an intriguing, ever developing original story. To me it was not a question that I vote for the Team Machine.
ReplyDeleteI edit constantly on touchy subjects. Hard not to come off wrong.
ReplyDeleteThat's probably for very different reasons though lol
ReplyDeleteoutlander <3
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Outlander, POI and House for me today!
ReplyDeleteI promise I will give it a shot. :)
ReplyDeleteYep it is , Z Nation is just crap.
ReplyDeleteOh , they kind of explains the huge following of the show. It could well win the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteRevenge won versus HIMYM :( what kind of world we live in?
ReplyDeleteOutlander!!!
ReplyDeleteIts only been growing each episode in the ratings, the last three episodes have been series rating highs, the show is amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteIts not just about Romance, not even close. There is fantasy, war, politics, adventure, history, etc.
ReplyDeleteThink if Game of Thrones, Alice in Wonderland and Downton Abby had a child.
Sitting at a 90 on Rotten Tomatoes!!!!
The show is one of the best I have watched in sometime along with Penny Dreadful and the Leftovers and I am a guy!!!
ReplyDeleteI really like Outlander. But are you kidding me, 1985 to 393? My vote is clear. My 4th current series favorite:
ReplyDeleteOutlander is my only vote for today.
ReplyDeleteCable is racy and there is violence and sex. I would say it is different than what you get with Game of Thrones, especially the sex. It is odd to say, but it is because it is geared towards women (and written and directed by women). There is a lot of online/critic discussion about the female gaze and it is a every interesting case to examine it--whether you like it or not, the difference and the response to it are intriguing to examine.
ReplyDeleteRegarding watching for a character, I think it is easy to demean the idea of watching for a "hot boy" but it isn't a just "hot" as in physically attractive. It is a character you want to root for, a character you want to see what happens to, a character for whom TPTB have created dramatic tension for you as a viewer. Plot is important, but if there isn't a character (or two) I care I about it could be the most active show on the air and there is no drama for me, there are no stakes. Lots of shows ran into that problem with the anti-hero craze. It's why I don't watch GoT anymore--there wasn't anyone left to root for. If they'd actually killed Jesse in season 1 of Breaking Bad I never would have made it to the end. Charlie Hunnam is cute and all, but once I stopped hoping for Jax, I dropped Sons of Anarchy. I'm not advocating for Outlander, but I am advocating for reconsidering the connotation that watching TV for relationships and characters is a negative concept enjoyed only by silly uneducated women.
I voted for Outlander, but I have to admit that it is a bit strange that there is a total of 2400 votes for the Outlander vs. POI poll and less than 1,100 votes for the House/Borgias poll. That discrepancy usually happens when a show has a group of extremely invested fans, but I didn't realize that Outlander was one of those.
ReplyDeleteCritics seem to love it but every episode just leaves me thinking that everything they do has already been done(and done better).
ReplyDeleteSurprised by Outlander. I've only heard about it once.. isn't this a very new show? Well, I chose House (I miss it!) and Person of Interest, which has been veeeery strong for Seasons. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo vote, but wow, it will be interesting if Outlander competes with BATB. Maybe it's the same fanbase.
ReplyDeleteBorgias.
Yeah it's a new show, it started in August. I suggest giving it a look, it's actually really good.
ReplyDeleteAll I'm going to say is the Outlander fanbase is amazing for this new show, books or not, but I am skeptical about the amount of votes.
ReplyDeleteI am SO SORRY Outlander (although you're winning anyways), but I am more invested in POI, even though I love you and think you're a beautiful show!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully said! :)
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about Outlander, but Person Of Interest has been a splendid exception to the other programming on CBS for 3 years now.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I was incredibly surprised when I clicked the cast vote button to see POI so far low.
ReplyDeleteYeah those are "Beastie" numbers.
ReplyDeleteObviously someone with a more visited web page reposted this so people vote for Outlander.
ReplyDeleteOh, come on, Outlander over POI... Outlander is very good, but POI is brilliant, and favorite ever show takes longer than 6 or 7 episodes. Maybe that's where the "awful ratings" came from on the last POI episode, rabid Outlander fans. I like it, but not like I love POI!
ReplyDeleteWauw!! I´m so surpriced that Outlander has 83 % of the votes!! I thought POI had more fans on this site. I really like Outlander, so it is great to see it move on to the next round. :-)
ReplyDeleteI see questions about Outlander. Amazing show! EMMY worthy...its just that good! You'll be hearing a lot more about it in the future!! Outlander and House today.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've never been big on any of those shows/movies. BTW I like romance.
ReplyDeletecool.
ReplyDeletefair enough
ReplyDeleteWell that is your opinion.
ReplyDeleteThey tried. Several times. And failed. ;) You simply can't cram this book into a 2 hour movie (or the other books they'll hopefully adapt; a second season based on the second book has been ordered right after the pilot aired) .
ReplyDeleteNo. As far as I know there isn't even an airdate for the UK yet. :(
ReplyDeleteCouldn't have said it any better! :)
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest always...
ReplyDelete
