2015 Character Cup - 2B





Wow! Just wow! I can't remember a time when a whole set of polls were this close. We've had some real nail biters in SpoilerTV contest history but never 6 at the same time. Round 2A was insane! Thanks to everyone who participated, voted, spread the word, and commented. We had over 13,000 page views for that round alone. The biggest so far of the contest. Amazing!

First off, I am sorry to everyone whose favorites just barely missed the cut. Some of mine did too but I hope you keep them in mind next July when it comes time to nominate for the new Character Cup. Until then, I hope you stay positive and stick around. Even if your favorites are no longer in the contest, we have plenty of discussion ahead and I'm designing at least one fun bonus poll, nominations for which will start tomorrow in round 3. There's a lot of fun still be had whether you're interested in the actual contest or not. With no further ado, these characters fought a sometimes long and hard battle to arrive victorious for the third round: Samantha "Root" Grove, Matt Murdock, The Doctor, Kate Beckett, Daryl Dixon, Sam Winchester, Leslie Knope, and Dana Scully. Congratulations to them all. Until next time, happy voting!



Prediction Cup Update - Once again brackets were breaking all over the place with the poll results of 3A. Sooze55 has taken the sole lead with Amerdale and JaJosoft in second and third. Huzzah to you all! That's impressive predicting. I don't think we've had the same person winning for 2 days in a row, so it should be interesting if these guys can retain the lead or if the rest of round 2 sees yet another victor take control of the reigns. Best of luck to everyone.
