As we head into our last day of round 1, we celebrate the first real nailbiter of the contest - Young Sheldon vs. S.W.A.T. They were 1 vote apart with 15 minutes left and the tied again with about 7 minutes left. Every vote really does count. In the end, the winner is…Young Sheldon by 7 votes. That was so close. Other shows moving on include Manifest, Fringe, Orphan Black, Supernatural, and WandaVision. Over in the prediction contest, Cloisscherzy continues to lead with 25 points and only 1 miss. Awesome job! I am in second with Elvis claiming third with 22 points. Great job! Things are pretty close in the prediction contest so expect lots of turnovers. Brackets can be found below the polls and will automatically update once the results are entered into Challonge. Happy voting!
