Hey all,
The nomination period is complete and we can now begin the ninth edition of the SpoilerTV Episode Competition.
The draw has been done and is featured below. A slight change this year based on the nominations we received: instead of 64 episodes competing, we begin with just 32. That means one fewer round, a shorter competition and, crucially for the draw, only four seeds. Four episodes which would usually be kept away from other similarly popular picks now face potential open season against anyone. Fun times.
Anyway, the draw was done so that the top four seeds (in bold) cannot face each other until the semi-finals. The rule introduced in 2016 remains which means a show is permitted to face itself at any stage of the competition.

20 shows are represented this year, with plenty of debutants. Two of those fill up three of our seeded spots. Walker, in its first year, claims two of the top four nominations, while When Calls the Heart was also very popular in the submissions. But it's the SpoilerTV classic Supernatural, with its series finale, which tops the list. Competitions on this site began with The CW's megahit winning the Series Competition in 2010 - can the show mark the end of its existence with a win here?
Plenty of excitement to be had this year, so let's get into it...
The rules are as follows:
1. Four episodes go head to head for 24 hours, going live and closing at 12pm ET each day. The episode that emerges as the winner of each poll 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.
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 one!
