We open day ten with a battle of two ABC shows: LOST and Grey's Anatomy. This should be an interesting contest. LOST finished third back in 2010 — its last year — and finished inside the top ten every year until 2015 and 2016, where it was eliminated in the first round on both occasions. Last time out was a return to some success, coming 11th, and it seems strange to think that a show so beloved could struggle so much. Grey's has also arguably underperformed — three first round exits, including last year, with an absence in 2014. Perhaps today, it can surgically remove the show that led to SpoilerTV's existence.
Poldark was one of last year's debutants, and it really was a woeful start. Just eight shows have finished lower in their first appearance in the competition than Poldark's 62nd, with Downton Abbey (63rd) the most recent to do so in 2016. The bar has been set very low, but the aim is still to clear it. The Expanse will be hoping not to make that list of shows on its first voyage today, especially given that five of the eight have never appeared in the competition since. It seems unlikely The Expanse will achieve either of those, even if it loses today.
A reminder of the rules:
