Hey all,
Shadowhunters garnered just two nominations last year but this year, with 67, is the third most nominated current series in the competition. That impressive rise probably more accurately reflects the depth of its fans on the site and, if anything, I'm more surprised it got such little attention last time out. Anyway, this is, of course, its debut, so how it can perform in a straight head-to-head will be interesting. Orphan Black is its first opponent, designated a current show by our regulations despite since having concluded. That series finale having been so recent will aid it greatly, and this could be a close encounter.
iZombie, in its second appearance, is next up. I think last year's second round exit was admirable, especially given Supernatural was the show to beat it, but fans will obviously want it to go further this time around. Success today shouldn't be too difficult - Downton Abbey is the lowest ranked returnee, having finished second from last in 2016. (The Good Wife, not nominated, was bottom of the pile.)
A reminder of the rules:
1) Two shows will go into battle in a poll, where after exactly 24 hours, the leading show will win the battle and will progress into the next round. Each poll will open at 12pm ET on a given day.
2) Vote for your favourite and spread the word with your friends & fans.
3) One vote per person per poll.
4) Comment on what you voted for on in the comments below.
5) Have fun. This is a friendly & competitive competition. Please do not start attacking other fans or fangroups in the comments, because this really isn't what this competition is about.
