Sometimes, this competition throws up major shocks. Usually, though, they come in the main thing. What I didn't expect was Empire - now ended after six seasons - to make its debut in the competition as one of the seeded finished shows. That has come completely out of nowhere, and so there is absolutely no gauge for how it might perform today. It's a similar story for The Big Bang Theory, which has made just one appearance in the last five years, where it made the third round. It didn't feature last year, a few months after its series finale, but is in this time. Sometimes I just shrug my shoulders. This is one of those times.
A pairing of a comic book show and a CW show should make Supergirl a decent force in these competitions, but only twice has it reached round two since first appearing in 2016. It recorded its best finish last year and, to be fair, the draw is fairly kind to it this time - at least in the interest of it reaching round three. Better Call Saul makes its maiden appearance at the sixth time of asking. The Breaking Bad spinoff seems to have garnered plenty of fans separate to the mothership show, and it's an unknown quantity today.
A reminder of the rules:
