We're down to the last eight shows!
And my mind has been completely blown by said quarter-finalists. For the first time ever in the competition's history, all eight quarter-finalists are finished shows. Not a single one of them is a current show.
I find this utterly incredible, and totally fascinating. I often worry that this competition, and the others that we run, have the risk of becoming a procession of whatever the hottest show of the month is. But this, combined with the fact that the only previous champion to appear this year was Supernatural (eliminated in round one), it reminds me that there are so many shows out there that are loved by so many people. It's great to see.
Now, into the polls...
1) A pair of 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.

Don't forget to share the poll - spread the word far and wide to help your show get through! And, of course, let us know in the comments who you're voting for.
Check back on Wednesday for the semi-finals!
