The SpoilerTV 2015 Episode Competition - Day 1 - Round 1: Polls 1-4

Jun 16, 2015

Share on Reddit


Hey all,

Well, here we go. The nomination phase is over and the draw has been done. Just before we get to the draw, I just want to mention a couple of things from the nominations. We received nearly 900 nominations that spanned almost 500 different episodes. That's a pretty impressive turn-out from all of you who submitted, and it's really nice to see a lot of variation in people's submissions. A lot only got one or two votes and so unfortunately didn't make it in, but I enjoy seeing the different episodes that people love.

Anyway, onto the draw. The draw was done so that:
1. The top eight seeds (in bold) cannot face each other until the quarter-finals.
2. No episodes of the same show face each other in the first round.

The draw is as follows:



A quick comment about the top eight seeds - Person of Interest's 'If-Then-Else' easily took the number one seed with 254 nominations, while the fourth season finale picked up 105 to give it fourth seed. Arrow's 'The Fallen' started slow, but built up its nominations to 142, giving it the number two seed, while the CW show's 'My Name Is Oliver Queen' had 108 putting it third. The 100's second season finale took fifth - 'Spacewalker' came sixth. Game of Thrones' 'Hardhome', which aired the day before the deadline, was seventh seed while The Flash's first season finale took the final seed.

So, enough of all that. Let's move on to the actual competition...

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! Social media is your best friend in this competition if you want your favourite episode to win.
4. Be respectful. This is a competition, but be friendly. Let's not have any abuse directed at any person, fandom or show, as we've had on occasion in the past.

The first of this year's polls features two first season finales, as The Flash's 'Fast Enough' takes on The Leftovers' 'The Prodigal Son Returns'. We move on to see Outlander's 'The Wedding' face Orphan Black's 'Certain Agony of the Battlefield'. As many may remember, Outlander won the 2014 Series Competition so I'm interested to see how the show does in this competition. Next, we have The Musketeers' 'The Accused' taking on one of my favourite episodes in the past year - Banshee's incredibly brutal episode 'Tribal'. Finally, Justified's series finale is up against Supernatural's tenth season finale, 'My Brother's Keeper'.





Don’t forget to share the post; the more people vote, the more chance your episode has of winning!

Check back tomorrow for the next set of polls from round 1!

    That's my show <3

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'm dying already. Justified vs Supernatural. How do I choose? I needed an excuse to re-watch both of them.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Well all my favourite episodes are up against SpoilerTV's most devoted fans, so yeah not good for me!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Leftovers & Banshee

    ReplyDelete
  15. Fairly easy choices for me today:
    The Flash, Orphan Black, Banshee and Justified.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Can someone explain this whole thing for dumb people like me again :D I am a bit confused with the table way at the top and the polls!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Revenge vs the 100 and Revenge vs The walking dead?! Oh my :D

    ReplyDelete
  18. Only Orphan Black for me today.

    ReplyDelete
  19. My votes - Banshee and Justified


    This was honestly hard for me. The Justified finale is my favorite of all time. Supernatural has Dean. My 3 favorite male characters are Dean, Boyd and Raylan. It's like asking me to choose a favorite child. I hope the next round takes it easy on me.

    Justified
    Raylan: You asking why I came? Thought it was news that should be delivered in person.

    Boyd: That the only reason? After all these long years, Raylan Givens that's the only reason? Raylan: Well, I suppose if I allow myself to be sentimental, despite all that has occurred there is one thing I wander back to.
    Boyd: We dug coal together.
    Raylan: That's right.

    Supernatural

    Sam: Take these, and one day, when you find your way back...Let these be your guide.
    And they can help you remember what it was to be good...what it was to love.

    Dean: Forgive Me

    ReplyDelete
  20. Um I don't see any episodes for Sons of Anarchy

    ReplyDelete
  21. Nor Homeland or The Americans.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The Flash & Orphan Black & The Musketeers & Supernatural

    ReplyDelete
  23. The Flash and Orphan Black. Gave up on Banshee and really don't care about The Musketeers so didn't vote in that one. But boy was it hard to pick between Justified and Supernatural. Voted for Supernatural based on the fact that I was in tears by the end. But really loved that Justified episode.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Only Flash for me today, I haven't watched OB yet, so I'd be biased if I voted for it

    ReplyDelete
  25. What specifically are you confused about?

    ReplyDelete
  26. My pleasure :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. So happy operation mongoose & sympathy for the de vil got nominated

    ReplyDelete
  28. Poll 1: The Flash (haven't seen the Leftovers yet)
    Poll 2: Orphan Black (Outlander breathtaking in this episode, but this was possibly the best Orphan Black episode of season 3)
    Poll 3: Banshee
    Poll 4: Supernatural (haven't seen Justified)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Didn't get enough nominations, sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  30. So will all these separate competitions come in the next few days? I think i am just stupid :D now i get it

    ReplyDelete
  31. One of my top 3 episodes of the tv season so Orphan Black for me.

    ReplyDelete
  32. 1. The Leftovers
    2. Orphan Black
    3. Banshee
    4. Justified


    Pleeease let Banshee win!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I voted for The Flash and Orphan Black. I don't watch The Musketeers or Banshee, so I didn't vote in that poll. As for the last poll, I watch Supernatural but that episode was crap so I refuse to vote for it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. So each day for the next week (up to and including next Monday 22nd) I'll be making new posts with four polls from round 1, in order from the top left in the draw downwards, then to the top right downwards. After that I'll do the same for round 2 for four days, then round 3 over two days, then the quarters, semis and then the final. That make sense?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ahhh okay! Thanks a lot for explaining! Thx for doing this, it will be a lot of fun

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yep, same for me. The four shows I voted for today are all loosing. So sad!
    But I´m still gonna vote every day. Hopefully one of my shows will make it! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  37. Just Outlander for me.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Haha, yeah, same here with a couple of mine :p. Good to see them among the nominees, though, and hopefully we can both have a stroke of luck with our favorite episodes. Time to rally the troops!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Basically how I feel ;) That episode was truly something

    ReplyDelete
  40. No shows for me today, but thanks @Bradley Adams for doing this!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Flash and Outlander

    Don't watch Musketeer, Banshee, Justified, and haven't watched the Supernaturla season finale yet (so sad that that show has fallen off my watch right away list)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Just The Flash for me today.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I have ro admit, I am pretty surprised by some episodes that Made it all the way through

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have a question to the Spoilertv staff. Do you already have a member that is reviewing UnREAL?

    ReplyDelete
  45. I believe they do but i am not sure

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm not STV staff but Aimee Hicks is reviewing it.

    ReplyDelete
  47. omg i can't believe it, parenthood finale got a nomination + the middle !!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. That whole "The100 is an underdog show" comment thing is without legs now. It's clearly not an underdog, in fact it's overhyped here

    ReplyDelete
  49. If sth is overhyped, then arrow but not the 100

    ReplyDelete
  50. If there were ever two episodes to make you change your mind about The 100, these are it. Some of the best drama I've watched this year.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I don't question the quality. Just the fact that people keep acting as if it was under appreciate, wich it really isn't. Looking at the internet fanbase here that is...very loud

    ReplyDelete
  52. Given that the fanbase always goes on about how its underappreciated we sure se a lot of fans saying that at once

    ReplyDelete
  53. But it needs the ratings, otherwise it will be cancelled and it does not deserve to be cancelled because it is the best show on the CW in Terms of quality. At least on the drama side

    ReplyDelete
  54. You mean the popularity of it here? It surprises me sometimes. I don't think it gets enough attention elsewhere. From the critics, yes. It's not widely known.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Exactly. More people need to know that this show exists. It should be getting all the attention arrow and the flash get

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think they mean ratings wise

    ReplyDelete
  57. I can only judge based on the two sites I frequently visit and I'm at a point I'm sick of constantly hearing about the show

    ReplyDelete
  58. Agreed I think both Arrow and The Flash are way overhyped. All I see the Arrow fandom do is complain as well it's baffling.

    ReplyDelete
  59. But how much is too much. Forcing something down a groups throat isn't going to turn them into loyal fans, instead it's going to make them sick of the mere mention

    ReplyDelete
  60. Oh, well it's a personal issue then. I understand that. The same way I was tired of hearing about several certain shows this past season. That's fair.

    ReplyDelete
  61. You know that is how i feel when arrow wins every damn poll, even when it does not deserve to win. I mean come on "My Name is Oliver queen" came in third?! IMO that was one of the worst episodes i have seen on Television. I could give you many more examples of other shows

    ReplyDelete
  62. So i do understand you

    ReplyDelete
  63. I never understood why do many people are crazy abour arrow. However, many people might think the same way about my shows. Therefore, I should probably stop complaining

    ReplyDelete
  64. That I agree on, Arrow only had a few good episodes this season but I'm not being bombarded with people telling me to watch Arrow.

    Don't get me wrong: I watched season 1 of the 100 and liked it, it was okay but nothing mind blowing. The sad thing is that now I can hardly be objective anymore,

    Whenever I see someone mention the 100 now my blood boils

    ReplyDelete
  65. I was just going to say, he feels the same way about The 100 as we do Arrow etc...he's entitled. We're entitled to understand but disagree ;)

    ReplyDelete
  66. I can relate to what you have said and i think it is indeed important to discuss this

    ReplyDelete
  67. There several shows I could say that for as well, it's just something everyone has to deal with. Fans of a show are going to talk about that show, that's not going to change.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I'm in a love/hate relationship with Arrow. But while I'm forcefed a ship on Arrow the 100 is being forcefed to me on multiple sites. Even facebook, at one point I'm just sick of hearing about it

    ReplyDelete
  69. Sadly I'm currently putting BatB fans and 100 fans on the same level (again: NOT about the shows quality but the constant mention)

    ReplyDelete
  70. But The 100 was just ok in its first season. The second one was awesome...

    ReplyDelete
  71. I have Empire, GOT, TWD, Arrow, SPN, The Flash and a few others on the same level with BATB! I definitely know what it feels like.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I don't know what to tell you Mac other than you're entitled to that but you're letting petty irritants form your opinions. My dislike of Olicity did that for me with Arrow.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Lmao that's not helping!

    ReplyDelete
  74. Of course I'm letting non-issues control my perception of a rather unrelated product. But I'm human. If you try to force a cookie down my throat I'll spit it out rather than start loving it.


    That whole thing was more ment as a friendly message towards the fandom aka. "maybe you should stop acting as if your show didn't reach anyone now, your voices have been heard. If no new fans come out of this you should probably reconsider your strategy to gain new fans"

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hahaha I'm not a huge fan of the TV show, I am just saying what I think. The 100 is not the best show ever, but did a great job in its second season.

    ReplyDelete
  76. True on all these shows.
    I like The Flash but it's not really the superhero evolution it's said to be
    GoT is fun but is far from the dark/gritty high quality drama people claim it is, it's more "Boobs, swords and slow plots that aren't going to be ended"
    Arrow is 90210 now


    SPN gets a fair share of hate from its own fabase these days but true

    ReplyDelete
  77. Don't miss that I'm agreeing with your right to be irritated but that post was meant to be exactly what it was. A passive aggressive dig at a fanbase. Not a friendly message.

    ReplyDelete
  78. that's what I was going to say but it's just so fitting

    ReplyDelete
  79. You forgot PLL and TVD fans...

    ReplyDelete
  80. It was a dig at a fanbase that needs to get take the hint...as I've been dropping it for a while now in a nice manner. But no one even considered that I suggested to dial it down a notch.

    ReplyDelete
  81. lol I don't think anyone considers TVD good anymore, even its own fans are just staying because of a guilty pleasure. I've been prettyinvolved with a lot of TVD fans in the past and none of these guys still like the show they're obsessed about :P

    ReplyDelete
  82. I actually don't come across PLL fans that much and TVD seems to have dialed it down a lot...or given up!

    ReplyDelete
  83. So basically what you're saying is because you're tired of hearing/reading it, fans, me included, should stop talking about it?
    No.

    ReplyDelete
  84. SGU is right, it's Aimee Hicks. Here is her review

    http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/06/unreal-relapse-review-villains.html

    ReplyDelete
  85. Poll 1: Two great finales but I have to go with The Leftovers on this one.
    Poll 2: Voted for Outlander for its portrayal of sex.
    Poll 4: Supernatural by default.

    ReplyDelete
  86. This was a bad day for me to start! I have two polls in which I watch all 4 shows and then two polls in which I watch 0 zeros lol. Talk about being unlucky.


    I love The Prodigal Son Returns and I really, really wish I could throw my hat behind supporting The Leftovers here which is tremendously underrated and an all around fabulous show, especially this mind blowingly good episode, but I cannot not vote for the awesomeness of the flash season finale, the fanboy in me does not allow it. So The Flash it is.


    On the second one, Orphan Black.

    ReplyDelete
  87. The 100 is an underdog show, generally speaking. That statement is true.
    The 100 is one of the most popular shows aroudn STV. That statement is probably also true.

    Neither is mutually exclusive.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Arrow is not overhyped, imo.

    ReplyDelete
  89. And contest season begins - woo hoo. This is incredibly easy for me because I have only seen 3 of these episodes today and none are going against each other. For me The Flash's season finale was the best finale of this year. I'll end up voting for H2GAwM, The Musketeers, Spacewalker (my favorite episode of the competition), Forever, and Agent Carter. Then I will be out of this contest.

    ReplyDelete
  90. True on both.


    However I'm not entirely sure what qualifies it as an underdog, that the ratings are somewhat subpar and below expectations? The show is enjoying some pretty positive buzz all around the internet. It was on imdb's staff pick multiple times and is on various sci-fi/genre heavy news sites hailed as the last true sci-fi show.

    It's kind of pulling the same numbers as Jane the Virgin is and that show is certainly no underdog itself

    ReplyDelete
  91. No but if you want to read that into the post fine, by all means be insulted. I'm used to fans getting defensive over their shows. Talking about something is fine but violently pressing something into relevancy is a whole different story. Usually turning people off

    ReplyDelete
  92. I am always out early in this competition but it's fun to see what is popular.

    ReplyDelete
  93. To the moderators, did any show have more than two episodes make it to the top 64 and thus subjected to the rule of two? I'm just curious.

    ReplyDelete
  94. To me, an underdog show is a show that is an underachiever in two areas:
    1) Critical acclaim: while The 100 has plenty of buzz online and enjoys positive comments from most critics, it has no awards representation whatsoever unlike Jane the Virgin, so it is an underachiever here
    2) Ratings: it is clearly a very marginal performer, below the CW's average and could have easily been cancelled as it could have been renewed

    Maybe you are arguing that there is a #3 factor in the form of online buzz but I don't really think that is measurable/ impactful enough to be on the same level as the other two. So I think it is perfectly fair to consider The 100 an underdog show.

    ReplyDelete
  95. 1) rarely any CW show manages to show off any big awards, in fact JtV is the only show that manages to do so. By that logic wouldn't essentially every CW show be considered an underdog? (Peoples Choice and Teen Choice not being under consideration obviously since 100 scored a few there)


    2) if I remember correctly the 100 pulled numbers very close to TVD and TO this season wich by all means is far from the lower end of the food chain.




    Well given the online fandom being rather persistent on promoting the show to potential new viewers (from what I see, not sure maybe in some dark corner of the internet the show hasn't been mentioned yet) one would assume that the fanbase is relying on #3.


    Ergo by that same logic I could technically consider BatB, Reign, TO and Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo underdogs as well ^^ (just friendly poking here)

    ReplyDelete
  96. Yes there were several. Person of Interest, Arrow, Outlander and a few others that I can't remember.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Pitty that The Leftovers and Orphan Black were paired with such big fandoms. They're both brilliant and deserving shows.

    ReplyDelete
  98. do two shows in the poll even make sense logistically? Thinking about it: potentially two episodes of the same show competing against each other might take the spice out of the whole thing.

    ReplyDelete
  99. "But it needs the ratings"

    sure it does but this internet push it's getting clearly hasn't been working suggesting that the relevant viewers aren't heavy twitter/facebook/literallyeversiteever users.

    "otherwise it will be cancelled and it does not deserve to be cancelled"

    no show deserves to be cancelled but ultimately it's a fate that will reach every show at some point. I get that fighting for a show is important but in the very end overwhelming others that have no connection to the show isn't helping the case

    "because it is the best show on the CW in Terms of quality. At least on the drama side"



    and this is exactly the attitude that turns me off on the shows fandom. We all have our favourites but completely giving in to ones bias is never going to convince someone else to watch something. In fact it's making people annoyed with the product

    ReplyDelete
  100. The 100 finished the season at 68% of the CW's ratings. The Originals finished the season at 77% of the CW's ratings (in a lead-off spot) and The Vampire Diaries finished the season at 92% of the CW's ratigns (also in a lead-off spot). They aren't all on the same level, clearly.

    What I am trying to say is that by looking at the most objective metrics you can have (which for me are the two I've mentioned before) The 100 can barely qualify as a succesful show.

    From then on, it obviously depends on how much you think the show deserves the success to qualify it as an overachiever or an underdog. That part kind of falls back into the subjective part.

    ReplyDelete
  101. I'll admit: I didn't know that TVD/TO still performed a tad better.


    That is indeed true, it's not a success by any means but in terms of theCWs expectations the spectrum is rather wide and no one will be able to predict what's actually considered a success and what isn't.


    Subjectively I want the show to go on till season 5, then end, come out on DVD so I can watch it all at once. But at this point I'm a bit (as evidenced by this conversation) by the constant push it's getting from the fanbase,they're obviously entitled to their opinion doesn't mean I'm not entitled to be annoyed about it as well :)

    ReplyDelete
  102. I voted Outlander. It is the only one listed that I watch and I watch it over and over again!

    ReplyDelete
  103. Oh god, 'This is Rome' was nominated? Litt the Hell Up was better, I should've voted for that.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Not really, Orphan Black has quite a fanbase and The Leftovers has enough followers in STV to be nominated, I just hoped they made it a bit farther into the competition, I believe at least Orphan Black could've gotten far.

    ReplyDelete
  105. Go Bansheeee Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

    ReplyDelete
  106. The Flash, Orphan Black and The Musketeers - what a crappy first round vote that one is against Tribal :(( lol

    ReplyDelete
  107. If it was ANYTHING else I'd be right there with you, But seeing as the Musketeers is up against Outlander for it's other episode that's in the comp, this one just has to get through at least the first round. Gutted though, Tribal is blooming awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  108. I knew the Justified finale would be a big favorite for you. I bought my dad the last couple of Justified seasons and I told him that you approved of the finale so it had a great ending. He was glad to hear it since it is one of his favorite shows to binge watch.


    I actually have not seen the TW sneak peek yet even though I retweeted it. I am desperately trying to get tomorrow's Pitch Your Show edited so that I can concentrate on The Last Ship's Ranker also to be posted tomorrow. I'm excited about The Last Ship returning and I don't want to shaft it in terms of attention so I'm leaving everything else until later except for commenting back to people. I am very excited about Teen Wolf's return though because Jeff Davis has had plenty of time to script a season worthy of its former glory. Glad you are excited about it too.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Sam had most of my favorite lines this season!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Only Justified for me today.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Ok its kind of unffair to put The Flash agains The Leftovers.... Only voted for The Leftoevrs. It's the only show of those options i watch

    ReplyDelete
  112. It obvious that my name is Oliver Queen is a great episode

    ReplyDelete
  113. My votes:

    1. The Flash - Fast Enough (Fantastic and touching end to the 1st season)
    2. Outlander - The Wedding (IMO, one of the BEST episodes of TV this year)
    3. The Musketeers - The Accused (IMO, the BEST episode of the show to date and one of my three nominees)
    4. N/A

    ReplyDelete
  114. I know you are a big fan of The Musketeers. I never could get into it. I watched the first 8-9 episodes, but it just wasn´t for me. Neither show will have a chance against Outlander. (which is a good show aswell).

    ReplyDelete
  115. Sam doesnt speak much or have the most memorable lines for the most part but he did say some nice things this season. I think Sam is most liked by the general audience when he's not speaking at all or only saying nice things to Dean. He got in some good ones this season particularly that one from My Brothers Keeper. It was nice especially since he's the character that has to listen to everyone else waffle on and on. I do wish he got more ofthe share of one liners and pop culture refs though.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I would say pretty much any show can be considered overrated by someone, whether its with ratings, critical acclaim or a devoted fanbase.


    There are only a few shows that SpoilerTV cover that are truly underdog series. Series like Rectify which has very very small ratings, only a few fans on this site and whilst it has some critical support hasn't won or been nominated for any major awards. Same with WGN's Manhattan and Fortitude which recently finished.


    All the CW shows have a healthy fanbase here, and most sci-fi/horror/fantasy shows as well.


    I get that hype can kill people's enthusiasm for things and that it can put you off wanting to watch a show but sometimes its worth taking a step back from what the fans or critics are saying and just give the show a chance and judge it yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  117. My votes went for The Flash, Orphan Black, Banshee and Justified!

    ReplyDelete
  118. A little hope for Justified too pleeease!

    ReplyDelete
  119. It's a totally Marmite show, and a guilty pleasure of mine, I can understand when people don't get into it though. Yep, I think it will be Outlander or PoI who will sweep the board this year. I really enjoyed the first half of Outlander, but although I thought the second half was good, it didn't hold my interest in the same way at all.

  120. I think that they do this to make up for some shows having incredibly large fan-bases on this particular site. If they didn't limit it to two shows per series, the competition might be made up of what 6? 7? 8? maybe 10? series. This wouldn't be very fun. You can argue that the smaller fan-base shows will be kicked out in the first round (maybe second), but I like the rule. If a series I haven't even heard of gets nominated, it might be worth checking out.

  121. He had more this year I think than he has in a while. (I like the use of waffle btw) but yeah I hope he starts to get more fun lines. I remember that Sam actually had me laughing more than Dean this year; especially when he's turning Dean back into a human (I hate demons had me applauding) and when they were trying to get info from Metatron (I had to pause the episode when he was sassy with Metatron and my roommates thought I was going crazy). And yeah, I think most people prefer Dean but I love them both equally and was really happy that Sam had a "different role" this year. I liked the switch when they did it back in S3 so it was a nice refresher. I know most people do like Carver and I'm not going to argue with them (I'm learning in my time of comment boards) but I like a lot of the brother moments these past three years and yeah Dean was kinda brought to the forefront these past two especially but again it's kinda nice.
    Usually the story has this underlying ideology of Dean always worrying about Sam (big brother/little brother thing) but I liked that they had that huge fight in S9 so we could get the moments like the ones we got this year from Sam. There is so much in canon and in fandom about how Dean was basically Sam's parent, but watching Sam worry and care about Dean brings an equality back to the relationship as in not a parent/child relationship but a brother relationship.
    I'm a big sister myself and my little sis means everything to me (guess I relate to Dean in that way) and I see a lot of Sam in my little sis in attitude and my sis is just as caring towards me just as Sam was with Dean was this season...idk...maybe I loved Carver's arc because of that...
