Update: 12th September Thanks to everyone who voted during the past 24 hrs. Unfortunately yet again certain selfish people decided to try and cheat again. We've removed all the duplicate votes (those cheaters have been banned) and the finale results are shown below. We've also updated the Brackets to reflect the new results. (Also the good news is that PollDaddy have today fixed their recent issues so we can use them again going forward)
Adam will be along later to start the competition up again with Round 1.5
Seeley Booth - 1129 The Doctor - 627 Total Votes : 1756
Cristina Yang - 907 Sue Sylvester - 892 Total Votes : 1799
Sam Winchester - 1214 Leroy Jethro Gibbs - 975 Total Votes : 2189
Elena Gilbert - 1061 Rachel Berry - 732 Total Votes : 1793
Update: Ok, the competition is back on! Polldaddy still have not fixed the Multiple Vote bug so we're going to try out this other poll software.
POLLS ARE NOW CLOSED
IMPORTANT NOTICE Earlier today we were notified by Polldaddy that a major error has occurred in their Poll software. This meant that people were allowed to vote multiple times from the same IP Addresses. This is normally not permitted. As a result certain people here decided to use this to cheat in the number of polls.
As a result all polls from Round 1.4 will be voided and we will repeat these 4 polls again hopefully later today when Polldaddy confirm that the IP and Multiple Checking code is working once again. All brackets will be reset later.
Sorry for the inconvenience but this was out of our control.
So despite the fact I'm heading to New York, I've woke up a bit earlier so I can get today's polls ready. I'm going to post them at around 1:00pm bst, which means they will overlap with the end of Day 3, so I can't comment on who's won as I don't know, so don't forget, if your viewing this page that there is another poll here that is open until around 7:30pm bst tonight here: http://www.spoilertv.com/2010/09/2010-character-competition-day-3-round.html And obviously, also, this poll will close early tomorrow at around 1:00pm bst, so the timeframe for this round is a bit different. Still better than missing a day :P
Don't forget to keep following your bracket if you entered the competition athttp://www.dawgsled.com/darkufo/welcome.asp
Today is the final part of the top half of the draw, and an interesting statistic is that I noticed that 5 of LOST's 6 nominations are in the top half of the draw, leaving only Locke as the hope in the Second half. The random draw in my head, seems to have made the top half the harder one to come out of, but that remains to be seen. Back to today's fights, and we have the second member of the 'Bones' team, Seeley Booth taking on the ever-changing but always flying phone-boxes 'The Doctor.' This is not a specific incarnation, it is the character as a whole by the way :P Secondly we have our second 'Grey's Anatomy' surgeon of the competition, as Cristina Yang goes up against recent emmy winner Jane Lynch's Sue Sylvester from musical show 'Glee.' Also we have the second of the Winchester brothers, as 'Supernatural's' Sam faces the guy who in my opinion, has the coolest name in the competition, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, from 'NCIS.' Finally, we have the girl who is known for her 'Vampire Diary' (maybe? :P) Elena Gilbert, as she squares up against the second of Glee's characters today, in Rachel Berry.
Because I can't upload pictures where I am (disappointing I know!), due to slow internet and me not having the time to wait 10 mins per picture, heres the wiki pages for all 8 characters:

Sam Winchester: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Winchester Leroy Jethro Gibbs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leroy_Jethro_Gibbs
Elena Gilbert (has no wiki page, so from vampire wiki :P) http://wiki.vampire-diaries.net/Elena_Gilbert_(TV) Rachel Berry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Berry_(Glee)
I agree with everything you've said. I'm no teenager (haven't been for a very long time) but both my husband and myself are big fans of Supernatural (as are our sons - no longer teens either). We enjoy the horror and the humour, and we also appreciate the acting and the writing - particularly the willingness of the writers to go to dark places and to take risks. I am not so obsessed that I won't admit to being disappointed in some episodes (eg Criss Angel, Route 666 + a few others) but it is a rare show that keeps my interest for as long as Supernatural has. I tend to get bored after a while and move on, and I think it is the relationships that keep me hooked. Sam and Dean of course, but also Bobby and Cas (even though the angel thing was not one of SPNs finest moments (IMO), the boys don't get many opportunities to have friends and Cas is a friend in a warped kind of way). And yeah we see the occasional 'romantic' scenarios but (thank God) they are few and far between (up till now anyway) they are a distraction from the heart of the show - Sam and Dean's relationship. Sorry I've rambled a bit - probably a sign of my advanced age! :)
It always amazes me how many people who have not seen the show can maintain it is a teen show. (Not that there is always something wrong with that.) The story lines themselves go far beyond typical CW fare. Look at who attends the conventions. SPN fans are well over 19 and tend to be connected to the characters more than the actors. Yes, some SPN fans are off their rockers (most of whom are not teens as far as I have seen), but the vast majority just appreciate a quality story that is well-acted and written. I think SPN skews higher because adults have seen the power of family relationships and can either relate to the brother connection or really wish they could.
Sam doesn't need to fling his hair. It can take off on its own. Just look at those wings he has growing on the side of his head in Everybody Loves a Clown. (Too bad I can't attach a picture here. It seriously looks like his propeller hair is trying to lift him off the ground.)
The women of NCIS are better than the males anyway. Abby is my second favorite female character still on TV and Ziva is pretty high up there too. Go NCIS women! You rock the TV world.
LMAO!! Dahne I was thinking the same thing. I can just imagine all the SPN fans running through neighborhoods asking to use computers. Well, tell ya what, I'll compromise. I won't use my phone. It sucks and is too slow anyway.
Gosh, I was wondering how Sam could be losing so bad when he had about the same number of comments... now I feel a bit better. It was extremely hard for me to watch my favorite character ever (next to Luke Skywalker) get creamed'. If it weren't so highly discouraged here, I would have been voting all night for Sam, so I totally understand the urge to multi-vote.
Well I got up this morning, fired up the laptop and woo hoo - we have a result!!!! Yay Sammy! And it's a beautiful sunny spring day where I live. Even the Doctor losing out to Booth is not so bad on a day like this. Thanks Adam and SpoilerTV for all the hard work - who'd have thought this round would turn out to be such a nightmare?!!! I love coming here - it's so much fun.
I think the answer was supposed to be yes, it is cheating. That way we don't have people knocking on their neighbors' doors asking to vote on their computer. :-)
It stinks for the admins who have to fix the problem and then all the true fans like me who didn't cheat and were so excited! But anyway, Ziva and Abby can definitely kick Meredith and Cuddy's asses so easily (:
I'm sorry :( It would suck to think your fav char is winning and then come to find out he lost. If that happened to Dean/Sam/Cas I think I'd be crying in a corner, lol. Well, I hope the NCIS female chars get some love! :) /crosses fingers
Ohhh I don't know if my IP was Banned because I have to turn off my internet or computer to many times at day (because of my work) and because yesterday I was installed some programs and I have to restart again every minute....and the only way I can see the results is click again in "vote" how can I know this??? To bad :) I hope that polldaddy returns because I can see the results without vote again
goodness, lol. ok yea that wasn't me. oh! and i feel like a retard. @SpoilerTV it is. I knew that >.> <.< I wasn't sure if yours was like Adam's where it was a personal nick. Anyways, thanks! I do have another question though...I have a laptop, a PC, and a phone, each of which allows me to vote separately. Is this considered cheating? Or is it still technically legit since the IP addresses are unique. Let me know and I'll just use one, because I sure would not want to be banned and miss all the fun. :D
People would actually be amazed to see just how many fans (like myself) are grown adults, men and women both married with kids, a home and everything. They love this show, love the characters as well as the actors. Typically it's the obnoxious teenagers who like to post the hate comments, get nasty and rude. Not only that, but it's amazing how many people cheated when it came to Gibbs, considering Sam still won in the end. Funny how Supernatural fans can be accused of being teenagers and childish when all the cheaters were the ones voting for Gibbs and not Sam. Oh well though. Lucky for Sam (and Jared) he won the poll!
Things are looking up for NCIS fans even after this sad disappointed with our beloved Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Ziva is going up against Meredith Grey (who I love but Ziva is better) and Abby is going up against Cuddy... NCIS GIRL POWER!!!!!
To Jason!!!! love your long post about why you would choose Sam (and almost in the same heartbeat) Dean. They are really tragical heroes and specially Sam went through a change of character over the years and nonetheless he is there, with his strong and beautiful soul, drifting through darkness and came out like the phoenix from the ash!
Hey man I wanted to thank you on twitter, but I don't know your nick so I just asked AdDHarris to thank you, lol. Hope those 3 test votes of mine didn't come across as cheating, it was done as a troubleshoot and a sanity check XD. Anyway, they're removed so it doesn't matter, lol. And thank you for putting up with all of us in all of our craziness!
I knew it was too good to be true... sigh... and even with the fact that I posted the link on other sites... Totally sucks the random matching thing for the NCIS guys were pitted against shows that are just as popular as them... If Gibbs or Tony were against anyone else other than people from Lost or Supernatural they would have won... there is always next year...
YOU'RE LYING DARK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can fool some that want to read that Sam is ahead, but we both know you and me that this not true.
THERE IS NO MULTIPLE VOTES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You want to make us believe that MicroPoll system has a glitch too. This is BS! And i think that is the first time that i write the word BS since i post in foroms.
As it has been said, the vote numbers are not that high; if you could cheat, you would have much more votes. What proofs do you have that there is multiples votes? I'm ready to send a mail to MicroPoll to ask them if their system is not reliable.
Thanks for giving me some credits but i don't deserve it. I HAVE NOT STARTED AN ANTI-SPN CAMPAIGN, i have just given my opinion on a few posts, not even in this round. Don't you think i would have post here if i wanted to discredit SPN? Almost nobody is interested in what i am saying and the few interested people don't weight much against the huge SPN fanbase. If i remmeber correctly i have not post on Dean's round (well i checked and i made one comment under the name Henry) so i have nothing to do with his difficulties to go through.
If you read my post correctly, i have nothing against teenage girls shows ( i watch Smallville, The Vampire Diaries and Caprica); however i disapprove using Twitter to call directly an actor, asking him (or her) to post a tweet on his account in favour of a show, i call that manipulation.
It create an unevenness between fan bases, based on taking advantage of impressionable teenagers (mostly girls).
Yet i'm glad i broke the consensus and that SPN fans arrogance tuned down. Tweets samples : "OMG EVERYONE! PLEASE VOTE FOR SAM!" "vote for sam! don't let him lose to some "no-talent douchebag!" " "This cannot be happening #Supernatural fandomly: WE'RE LOSING THE POLL AGAINST THAT NCIS DUDE!! VOTE NOW: "
I wanted to take a look at the Bracket game but couldn't access the site http://www.dawgsled.com/darkufo/Login.asp . I have an error message but i have no idea what it means: Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 80070008' Server.CreateObject Failed /dawgsled/darkufo/Login.asp, line 37 80070008
Is it just me or someone is experiencing the same thing?
I would say the multiple voting was mostly on NCIS side (though i support Gibbs) because Gibbs got 60% of the votes. I highly doubt Gibbs would beat Sam on a regular fight.
And i don't call those who voted several times cheaters; they just used what they were offered. I must say i voted a couple of times myself when i discovered by chance that you could do it. I first though it was a bug, since the poll was not showing on the site anymore then i thought maybe Adam was doing trials with the poll like he did before with the percentage.

Sorry for the inconvenience but this was out of our control.
Must be a slip of the tongue : you said "Sam is winning" whereas he is loosing.
It took me 5 minutes to understand what you were talking about next but now i get it; the polls is shown on the site but not correctly. Maybe a remainder from the previous bug.
My votes went to The Doctor and Sam (who happen to be my all time favorite characters #1 and #2, respectively) and Rachel Berry. Sadly all of them are losing. =(
I just came to know of this now lol. And for a moment, I was shocked that Sam was losing. Thanks for the info that Sam is actually winning.
But if in 5400 votes, there are duplicates, the actual number is pretty low. The turn out for this round has been pretty low, I guess, many people don't know of this yet.
Wow, the turnout for Sam is pretty lame. I wouldn't freak out if Sam loses to Gibbs, he's a worthy opponent, but both Gibbs and Sam aren't even up there in vote numbers yet. I'm disappointed in the turnout for this one so far. Eh, times not up yet, so maybe something will happen to make this less pathetic in my eyes. I'm out for now everyone. See ya later and good luck with your choices.
Ugh, I used to think people were joking when I was told about these epic sam vs dean fangirl all-out brawls. I guess they are real. That's just effing stupid.
It seems to me like while she and Damon seem to have built up something, it's a friendship, not a sexual relationship. As in the season 2 premiere "I'm surprised you thought I'd kiss you back" (or something to that effect) --I think the stupid rolling around threesome in the bed was sorta like Katherine playing with both of 'em since she has to play Katherine this year too.
I will say this though: if I had to guess, at some point this season I'll bet that they make Elena go for Damon somehow. As you said, the CW like to do stuff like that on their shows.
Yes you can vote more than once using the iPhone but your vote doesn't count .. I tried voting more than once using the iPhone and the number of votes didn't change
are you actually sure you can vote more than once? do the numbers on the poll go up each time? and if they do are you sure its not just someone voting at the same time as you and its showing there vote? it would be really annoying if this round is not valid again.
See if you're having the same issues with your phone. Mine let's me vote more than once, whereas my computer won't even give me the option. But I want to make sure it's not just with me or my phone, lol. sanity check please. And I also know someone who is having trouble even accessing the poll. I want this poll to be accurate, if Sam has to lose, I want it to be a legitimate loss at least. >< lol
nope. its not your imagination. my phone let me vote more than once, in fact I stopped on the third time cuz i was afraid it would lose its access to the poll. this is starting to get on my nerves. :)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A WASH AGAIN! >< I just noticed (and tested) that I can vote more than once with my iPhone, even though I still cannot vote more than once with my pc or laptop. This poll has now, once again, lost it's validity.
That would be Booth, Sue, and Sam for me. Reasons (in great detail :-P) in earlier comments. I do hope Sam gets more votes by the time I wake up. I apparently am posting this link too often on Facebook so I can't spread the word as much as I would like.
Hi to you too, but I am voting for Sam just like Amy. Also, I have been watching the Vampire Diaries like everyone said I should, but the only character I really like is Matt. It must be all the relationship drama I get working in a school, but I can't make myself care about Elena and Stefan's tragic love story. They bore me and make me roll my eyes. Still, Rachel is annoyance personified so it's a toss up for me on this one.
I'm not sure if the IP voting is working. I'm almost positive it let me vote again with the same IP. Can anybody else verify this? Or is it just my imagination?
I agree with you about the season 5 finale. I mean before hand I though it'd be good and hell I did not like season 5. But as soon as the voiceover with Chuck started you could see where they were going with it. And there were some cheesy moments in Swan Song. Worst one? Sam closing his eyes and starting to fall backwards into the hole. It made me cringe.
Good to have the poll back in action. Thanks for redoing this round instead of just saying it was caught too late or something to that effect. This way the results can be judged fairly.
Amusing that it took cheating and a total of over 31,000 votes just to finally "beat" Sam. lol. Good job SpoilerTV mods for catching this error and allowing us to have a rematch. :)
I hope it's OK to "try" to vote again, because that is the only way I can see to check the numbers.... I don't see a link like they had on the polldaddy one to View Results without attempting to vote...
Seems to be working like it's supposed to. Every time I check to see how the poll is going, I notice that it will not allow me to vote again. Glad Sam is doing good. Thank you SpoilerTV for the rematch!! :)
I disagree and think you are trying to paint a different picture than what happened. A poll was posted. In response to the low turn out you didn't merely question if perhaps some fans were voting against Dean you said that you were certain some were and then edited it to change that fact. As for people hating on characters. That has existed since the fandom began. It's not a new thing. Ignoring it or addressing those specific individuals would be a preferable option to blanket statements that indicate you have a belief not a question that fans are doing what you said. Even if that is your belief and you were just stating that as an opinion you have to know it's going to get a reaction because your belief is one that carries the viewpoint that the reason a character is losing a poll has to do with fans of another character voting it down. In what fandom exactly would not that not illicit some sort of a negative or defensive response except fantasy land? Especially when in the context of the topic in question it came out of nowhere. The small but vocal minority should be directly addressed in relevant topics where they are posting their viewpoints that offend you so. To blanket the entire forum with a passive aggressive comment in response to those users in a topic that was only asking for votes, not only hijacked the topic and turned it into a circus but also showed you take the small but vocal minority so personally you are willing to disrupt the entire forum to express your annoyance about them no matter how inconsiderate it is to other users who maybe just wanted to express excitement over the poll and encourage people to keep voting. After your comment I saw none of that. Maybe some users reacted poorly but they would have had nothing to react to if you hadn't let your itchy little fingers type a check your butt couldn't cash.
Nope, sorry. I haven't gotten into Buffy so I have no idea what was in the show. I'm very picky about television and Buffy never grabbed my attention long enough for me to follow the show seriously. At least now I know the reference, thanks!
If you find a post that oversteps the mark, click the Flag button/link under the offensive comments and our moderators will look into it.
We want SpoilerTV to be a place where ALL fans from ALL shows can happily discuss their shows without getting abused by others, unlike a lot of unmoderated sites like IMDB etc.
Your post made me smile HelloGoodbye. In jumping in and totally overreacting again, using inflammatory language, exaggerating ('blanket the whole forum', 'turned it into a circus' - really?), being insulting etc you have totally proved the points the other contributors, are making. The person who started it has admitted her words weren't well chosen. I presume she edited them for that reason rather than to hide anything. She never implied there were enough people who would vote against Sam to make a difference - but you are naive to think it was a ridiculous suggestion to imply that some would. I know some who did. So what exactly is your beef here? When someone makes a post - which only suggested some very pro Dean (ie anti Sam) fans might just vote against him - a claim I doubt you can prove is wrong - that they say generated an overreaction - and you post a completely over the top response - you are just proving their point for them. But we should all focus on making sure Sam wins now when the poll goes back up.
Lol. The yellow crayon is a reference to Buffy when Xander talked Willow out of destroying the world by referencing their childhood together. In other words, Willow was going full on evil and Xander was able to bring her back to her human side by reminding her of her childhood through a broken yellow crayon. Sound familiar?
Oh I'm going away for a few days starting tomorrow, so I don't think I will be voting for the repeat of this round. Shame on that. Best of luck Booth. But I might try and check it on my mobile. Hopefully :)
Blasphemy! lol, jk. I am of the opinion that Swan Song rocked my socks off. The only part I didn't care for was the cliffhanger. If they didn't show that then I would have fully loved the episode. I think if they left the brothers in the situations they were in then that would have been cliffhanger enough. Other than that I found the episode very touching and since I don't know what you're talking about when you say Yellow Crayon, I can't comment there. Season 1 was more of a shocker, I agree. On the way to the hospital and BAM out of nowhere. Now that we know that we have different opinions about Swan Song we can no longer be friends :P All I know is I loved it. Haven't seen White Collars finale yet.
Swan Song was not my favorite finale by a long shot. Most people loved Metallicar saving the day, but all I could think of from the moment Chuck started talking in the beginning was they were turning her into the freaking yellow crayon. Been there, done that, didn't like it the first time. White Collar's finale reminded me more of SPN season 1 finale. Something to definitely get people talking about over the summer. SPN's felt more like the end of an era. As a series ender, it was poignant and touching if not a complete downer. As a season finale it lacked punch. Is White Collar better than SPN? Of course not! And I may revise my opinion when White Collar is in the middle of an unending hiatus and SPN is just getting started again. But for right now, I loved White Collar's cliffhanger just as much as I hate it and that brings me right back to the season 1 cliffhanger of SPN.
I am the person who inadvertently started the furore on IMDB. This was done in all innocence. I love both characters equally, and was simply speculating, as there has been a huge amount of anti-Sam sentiment on IMDB in recent days, that some of those rabid (and some are, albeit a minority) Sam haters might have voted for the other guy. If you could see some of the things they say about Sam this is hardly a big leap. There was IMO a huge overreaction to my question, but that is how things are there these days. I seem now to have been categorised as a Dean and Dean-fan hater which genuinely could not be further from the truth. I absolutely love Dean but I love Sam just as much. I am sorry that Sam is losing this poll, and was really pleased when Dean won the other day. Sometimes the fandom is not a nice place to be. Yesterday was one of those days for me :(
People who vote more than once are not cheaters, because they just did what was allowed in that moment. What Dahne1 said about people who don't know that they can't vote more times is no their fault, is fault of PollDaddy because even when Polldaddy don't count more than one vote, people can confuse to see that they can "choose" again his favorite and click again in "vote". That confuse the people, in other polls they warning you with lines like "you already vote in this poll, your last vote don't count" or things like that, with this, people understand more clearly.
True, but... If you have the drive to repeat vote in this poll, you've probably been following it and know that it's not normally allowed. And yes, even though I've said I'm of the opinion that I don't want Sam or Dean to win, what I just said was slamming the people who were trying to out them unfairly. Shame on you. If Sam or Dean do well, good for them. I wouldn't resort to trickery.
I don't know that much about Supernatural fandom, but imagine a thing where it's like "Sam girls" and "Dean girls" rivarlies/arguments, infuse romance, intensify times a million to the power of immaturity, with a dose of "all other LOST fans hate you for caring and arguing about this so much and making us look bad."
The love "unknown shape" of Lost was the part of the show I hated the most. On most fan polls of like "Which 'ship do you care about the most" options like "don't care"/"seriously sick of this" were always at least as high as the most popular 'ship.
The Sawyer/Juliet (I think they use "Suliet") thankfully saved it though. In one episode they introduced and established the best relationship on the show according to most people. PB&J is the only one I ever actually cared about (bonus points because it's by far the most clever 'ship name. Pregnant Babe & Junkie, Charlie and Claire).
Some people probably honestly did not know that this was against the rules. Many polls do let you vote more than once. I've had to explain to many people that their vote only counts once. Many people still think they can vote multiple times even when it says thank you, we've already counted your vote.
I had almost 6 times as many votes as I usually have on my PollDaddy poll too this week. I think I just found out why.
Well I got up this morning, fired up the laptop and there it was: polldaddy had a whoopsy! So no results. We have to do it all over again? I'm shattered!! This is too exhausting for an old lady like me! Maybe we should send Sam and Dean in to waste the gremlins in the system?
totally, I mean why does it have to be Dean or Sam? I want both! lol no, really, I adore Dean, but I couldn't hate Sammy who is just that amazing. And then again, who would one be without the other?
yep, so now we're given another shot at it, I really hope there are some brothers fans out there too, not just Dean fans or Sam fans, and that we're gonna get Sammy through this round eventually ;)
Fandom can be a very unpleasant place at times. And unfortunately, there will always be factions who are extreme. It really doesn't make sense to me to love Dean and not the other and vice versa. Dean and Sam make the show together. Just ignore them lol and just support Dean and Sam. We have an uphill task in our hands. After getting a second chance, I'd hate to see Sam lose.
You are absolutely right ebbingtides that I didn't word things very well - but I hardly think it warranted the reaction I got. Hey ho. Chalk it down to experience. It is ironic though that I was accused of trying to split the fandom, yet someone can say that Sam is evil and Dean should have nothing more to do with him (or vice versa from the (much fewer on that board anyway) Dean-haters) and apparently that is just debate and everyone has a right to their opinion. Well of course they do, but expressing opinions like that are IMO far more devisive than my, admittedly badly worded, speculation.
Oh, haha. You're right. Definitely a slip of the tongue. Wishful thinking I guess. xD I edited it to make things clearer, not that it really matters anymore xD
I'm not so sure The Doctor can beat Booth even in a fair fight. While I definitely think The Doctor is the better character, Booth could also have a lot of David Boreanaz fans from the Buffy days going for him. Not to mention (if this is wrong, it's cos I'm not from the US) Doctor Who doesn't seem to have as large a following as it does in the UK. But we can hope and my vote is definitely going to The Doctor.
Of course I know that, but I always a character more likable if I like them in realife. Knowing that David is not a very nice man in real life affects how I view any characters he plays.
I wouldn't say more famous, The Doctor has been around since before Booth was born after all. Just more popular with people who visit STV for some reason :)
Oh man, again with the tough choices! I love Gibbs, but I guess I'll have to choose Sammy out of loyalty. And how can The Doctor be losing right now? Where are my Doctor Who fans?
Well since people love Dean a lot and I think Sam beats Dean completely then of course i'm going to vote for Sam on this, Sam totally surpasses his brother for me, i've been a sam girl from the start and a sam girl to the death and while i totally will support Dean on every track of his votes too, if it comes down to Sam vs Dean then Dean i shall kick you to the curb bud cos your baby brother DOES it for me boy. Go Sam and Dean but at the end of the day GO SAM!
lol here we are, a Sam girl and a Dean girl playing in the same team... for now :P I love Dean to pieces, but what would Dean be without Sam anyway? Plus, Sam's got really awesome throughout the series and totally hot as well!! I mean, he's no competition for Dean in my mind, but I'd really have a hard time voting if it came to Sam vs Castiel, because I so love both! I mean, I probably should go for Sam because he's the main character, Dean's brother and pretty much means everything to the plot while Cas is just some character that happened to stick with the series longer than expected, but I really don't know if I'd ever be able to vote against Castiel. The guy is just too awesome ;)
I voted for Booth ( it`s a shame bones didn´t make it ;/ , hope Booth will!!! ) , Christina ( she`s the only character from greys, I like ^^ and I have never watched Glee) , Sammy ( of course, even so I absolutely prefer Dean ;D ), Elena ( only because I don´t know glee at all )
Still can´t believe that characters like Buffy or Bones didn`t make it through ;°(
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
Always my vote to sammy winchester......!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you've said. I'm no teenager (haven't been for a very long time) but both my husband and myself are big fans of Supernatural (as are our sons - no longer teens either). We enjoy the horror and the humour, and we also appreciate the acting and the writing - particularly the willingness of the writers to go to dark places and to take risks. I am not so obsessed that I won't admit to being disappointed in some episodes (eg Criss Angel, Route 666 + a few others) but it is a rare show that keeps my interest for as long as Supernatural has. I tend to get bored after a while and move on, and I think it is the relationships that keep me hooked. Sam and Dean of course, but also Bobby and Cas (even though the angel thing was not one of SPNs finest moments (IMO), the boys don't get many opportunities to have friends and Cas is a friend in a warped kind of way). And yeah we see the occasional 'romantic' scenarios but (thank God) they are few and far between (up till now anyway) they are a distraction from the heart of the show - Sam and Dean's relationship.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've rambled a bit - probably a sign of my advanced age! :)
LOL. Oh hey, check your facebook. I friend-requested you. o.O
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me how many people who have not seen the show can maintain it is a teen show. (Not that there is always something wrong with that.) The story lines themselves go far beyond typical CW fare. Look at who attends the conventions. SPN fans are well over 19 and tend to be connected to the characters more than the actors. Yes, some SPN fans are off their rockers (most of whom are not teens as far as I have seen), but the vast majority just appreciate a quality story that is well-acted and written. I think SPN skews higher because adults have seen the power of family relationships and can either relate to the brother connection or really wish they could.

ReplyDeleteNew Zealand - best little country in the world (not biased or anything!) ;)
ReplyDeleteSam doesn't need to fling his hair. It can take off on its own. Just look at those wings he has growing on the side of his head in Everybody Loves a Clown. (Too bad I can't attach a picture here. It seriously looks like his propeller hair is trying to lift him off the ground.)
ReplyDeleteThe women of NCIS are better than the males anyway. Abby is my second favorite female character still on TV and Ziva is pretty high up there too. Go NCIS women! You rock the TV world.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!! Dahne I was thinking the same thing. I can just imagine all the SPN fans running through neighborhoods asking to use computers. Well, tell ya what, I'll compromise. I won't use my phone. It sucks and is too slow anyway.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I was wondering how Sam could be losing so bad when he had about the same number of comments... now I feel a bit better. It was extremely hard for me to watch my favorite character ever (next to Luke Skywalker) get creamed'. If it weren't so highly discouraged here, I would have been voting all night for Sam, so I totally understand the urge to multi-vote.
ReplyDeleteHa thanks Jilly, glad you enjoy the site.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the spring day! I assume you're from either New
Zealand or Australia
Well I got up this morning, fired up the laptop and woo hoo - we have a result!!!! Yay Sammy! And it's a beautiful sunny spring day where I live. Even the Doctor losing out to Booth is not so bad on a day like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam and SpoilerTV for all the hard work - who'd have thought this round would turn out to be such a nightmare?!!!
I love coming here - it's so much fun.
I'm absolutely voting for Abby and Ziva. They rock!
ReplyDeleteI think the answer was supposed to be yes, it is cheating. That way we don't have people knocking on their neighbors' doors asking to vote on their computer. :-)
ReplyDeletemy first comment was directed to Jason.... I can`t edit my post so I write another comment!!
ReplyDeleteJason ...what a great and heart warming post!!!
Yep, I agree. It's a shame that a couple of people ruin it for a lot
ReplyDeleteof people. But you get used to it after awhile on the internet
It stinks for the admins who have to fix the problem and then all the true fans like me who didn't cheat and were so excited! But anyway, Ziva and Abby can definitely kick Meredith and Cuddy's asses so easily (:
ReplyDeletePuh...Sam won ;) I was so shocked earlier to see him lose!!! But this was a lucky round for me , everyone I voted, won ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for all the work,you two, put in here ;)
No that is fine as we can't check for things like that :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry :( It would suck to think your fav char is winning and then come to find out he lost. If that happened to Dean/Sam/Cas I think I'd be crying in a corner, lol. Well, I hope the NCIS female chars get some love! :) /crosses fingers
ReplyDeleteOhhh I don't know if my IP was Banned because I have to turn off my internet or computer to many times at day (because of my work) and because yesterday I was installed some programs and I have to restart again every minute....and the only way I can see the results is click again in "vote" how can I know this??? To bad :) I hope that polldaddy returns because I can see the results without vote again
ReplyDeletegoodness, lol. ok yea that wasn't me. oh! and i feel like a retard. @SpoilerTV it is. I knew that >.> <.< I wasn't sure if yours was like Adam's where it was a personal nick. Anyways, thanks! I do have another question though...I have a laptop, a PC, and a phone, each of which allows me to vote separately. Is this considered cheating? Or is it still technically legit since the IP addresses are unique. Let me know and I'll just use one, because I sure would not want to be banned and miss all the fun. :D
ReplyDeleteGood to see the cheaters getting booted. The next round will be up asap using the Polldaddy system.
ReplyDeleteSo stick around! :)
People would actually be amazed to see just how many fans (like myself) are grown adults, men and women both married with kids, a home and everything. They love this show, love the characters as well as the actors. Typically it's the obnoxious teenagers who like to post the hate comments, get nasty and rude. Not only that, but it's amazing how many people cheated when it came to Gibbs, considering Sam still won in the end. Funny how Supernatural fans can be accused of being teenagers and childish when all the cheaters were the ones voting for Gibbs and not Sam. Oh well though. Lucky for Sam (and Jared) he won the poll!
ReplyDeleteThings are looking up for NCIS fans even after this sad disappointed with our beloved Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Ziva is going up against Meredith Grey (who I love but Ziva is better) and Abby is going up against Cuddy... NCIS GIRL POWER!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTo Jason!!!!
ReplyDeletelove your long post about why you would choose Sam (and almost in the same heartbeat) Dean. They are really tragical heroes and specially Sam went through a change of character over the years and nonetheless he is there, with his strong and beautiful soul, drifting through darkness and came out like the phoenix from the ash!
Ha no worries :) Only people who did 100's of votes were banned.
ReplyDeleteMy twitter is http://www.twitter.com/spoilertv
The duplicates have been removed, these are the totals of unique voters.
ReplyDeleteHey man I wanted to thank you on twitter, but I don't know your nick so I just asked AdDHarris to thank you, lol. Hope those 3 test votes of mine didn't come across as cheating, it was done as a troubleshoot and a sanity check XD. Anyway, they're removed so it doesn't matter, lol. And thank you for putting up with all of us in all of our craziness!
ReplyDeleteAnd I need coffee.
I knew it was too good to be true... sigh... and even with the fact that I posted the link on other sites... Totally sucks the random matching thing for the NCIS guys were pitted against shows that are just as popular as them... If Gibbs or Tony were against anyone else other than people from Lost or Supernatural they would have won... there is always next year...
ReplyDeleteI find very suspiscious that there can be multiples votes, considering the low number of votes.
ReplyDeleteI've posted the results, they are at the top of the post.
ReplyDeleteHow can we know during the poll session who is currently leading?
ReplyDeleteDo we have to wait until you miraculously give us the results?
Woot way to go, Sammy!
ReplyDeleteWe can't afford the huge cost in bandwidth that it would cost us, plus
ReplyDeleteI hate Wordpress.
Does that mean that the MicroPoll system is not reliable ?
ReplyDeleteI find hard to believe, considering the weak number of votes.
Why don't you guys move to wordpress and then add your own polls using some wordpress plugin?
ReplyDeleteJust one remark :
ReplyDeleteYOU'RE LYING DARK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can fool some that want to read that Sam is ahead, but we both know you and me that this not true.
THERE IS NO MULTIPLE VOTES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You want to make us believe that MicroPoll system has a glitch too. This is BS! And i think that is the first time that i write the word BS since i post in foroms.
As it has been said, the vote numbers are not that high; if you could cheat, you would have much more votes.
What proofs do you have that there is multiples votes?
I'm ready to send a mail to MicroPoll to ask them if their system is not reliable.
Thanks for giving me some credits but i don't deserve it.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE NOT STARTED AN ANTI-SPN CAMPAIGN, i have just given my opinion on a few posts, not even in this round.
Don't you think i would have post here if i wanted to discredit SPN?
Almost nobody is interested in what i am saying and the few interested people don't weight much against the huge SPN fanbase.
If i remmeber correctly i have not post on Dean's round (well i checked and i made one comment under the name Henry) so i have nothing to do with his difficulties to go through.
If you read my post correctly, i have nothing against teenage girls shows ( i watch Smallville, The Vampire Diaries and Caprica); however i disapprove using Twitter to call directly an actor, asking him (or her) to post a tweet on his account in favour of a show, i call that manipulation.
It create an unevenness between fan bases, based on taking advantage of impressionable teenagers (mostly girls).
Yet i'm glad i broke the consensus and that SPN fans arrogance tuned down.
Tweets samples :
"OMG EVERYONE! PLEASE VOTE FOR SAM!"
"vote for sam! don't let him lose to some "no-talent douchebag!" "
"This cannot be happening #Supernatural fandomly: WE'RE LOSING THE POLL AGAINST THAT NCIS DUDE!! VOTE NOW: "
So deliciously funny!
That's why Polldaddy is better : when your vote is positive, you get a "Thanks for voting".
ReplyDeleteWith Micropoll, you can't be sure if it's your vote or the one from someone else who is voting at the same time.
Time to go to bed for me, see you in the morning.
Faites de beaux rêves! ("Sweet dreams" for those who don't speak french) ;)
I wanted to take a look at the Bracket game but couldn't access the site http://www.dawgsled.com/darkufo/Login.asp .
ReplyDeleteI have an error message but i have no idea what it means:
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 80070008'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/dawgsled/darkufo/Login.asp, line 37
80070008
Is it just me or someone is experiencing the same thing?
I prefer Polldaddy too.
ReplyDeleteAt least the numbers of votes are back. Ha,ha,ha.
Hello Jason, Dahne, Amy, Daniel, Wilson and all the PandaLovers in this site.
ReplyDeleteI just realized the polls were on again; let's our friendly competition and the fun continue.
Voted Gibbs and Elena of course :)
Exactly.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid we make the Gods of Internet angry.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we should make a sacrifice to calm them down.
Until then only them and a tech boy at Polldaddy.com knows.
I would say the multiple voting was mostly on NCIS side (though i support Gibbs) because Gibbs got 60% of the votes.
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt Gibbs would beat Sam on a regular fight.
And i don't call those who voted several times cheaters; they just used what they were offered. I must say i voted a couple of times myself when i discovered by chance that you could do it. I first though it was a bug, since the poll was not showing on the site anymore then i thought maybe Adam was doing trials with the poll like he did before with the percentage.
Can i have a member card?
ReplyDeleteDark says :
ReplyDeleteIMPORTANT NOTICE
Earlier today we were notified by Polldaddy that a major error has occurred in their Poll software. This meant that people were allowed to vote multiple times from the same IP Addresses. This is normally not permitted. As a result certain people here decided to use this to cheat in the number of polls.
As a result all polls from Round 1.4 will be voided and we will repeat these 4 polls again hopefully later today when Polldaddy confirm that the IP and Multiple Checking code is working once again. All brackets will be reset later.
Sorry for the inconvenience but this was out of our control.
Refer to the beginning of the article : Elena was right and multiple votes were permitted.
ReplyDeleteDark decided to run this poll later on the day.
Looks like you mods are not very lucky with the software.
My post was just a (bad) joke, but i could'nt miss the opportunity you gave me.
ReplyDeletePolls closed.
ReplyDeleteMust be a slip of the tongue : you said "Sam is winning" whereas he is loosing.
ReplyDeleteIt took me 5 minutes to understand what you were talking about next but now i get it; the polls is shown on the site but not correctly. Maybe a remainder from the previous bug.
Thanks for answering so quickly!
ReplyDeleteWhen anouncing today's loosers you forgot Sam Winchester. :)
ReplyDelete@Adam or Dark :
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit confused and maybe others readers too.
When is supposed to start the next round ?
Fear the revenge of the Pandas on the forthcoming round !
ReplyDeleteI hope Adam and Dark will publish the number of votes because they must be pretty high today.
ReplyDeleteGibbs is winning !!!!
ReplyDeleteMust be Adam's influence.
Go team Gibbs!
mishacollins on Twitter one hour ago :
ReplyDelete"The money will go to giving underprivileged kids a chance to hunt baby Pandas."
Noooooo!!!!!
Leave the Pandas alone. Why so much hate towards Pandas, i love Pandas.
Same as teen choice for me : Elena from The Vampire Diaries.
ReplyDeleteAnd Gibbs of course.
The poll is closed??????????????
ReplyDeleteEdit : it was closed one minute ago and now it's open again.
What are you doing ?
/HANDS UP IN THE AIR!!!!!!! GO SAM!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh! Ok thanks because I was wondering the same thing, lol.
ReplyDeleteCome on Sam!! Fling that Pada-hair! Fling it!!
ReplyDeleteMy votes went to The Doctor and Sam (who happen to be my all time favorite characters #1 and #2, respectively) and Rachel Berry.
ReplyDeleteSadly all of them are losing. =(
O.O!! SERIOUS?!?!? /starts panting and inhaling oxygen
ReplyDeleteHa tell me about it.
ReplyDeleteTrue but in the Dean round there were about 14,000 votes so this poll has much fewer votes overall.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pain for you! Sorry about that.
ReplyDeleteAre there other races here where the numbers are misleading too?
Seeley! Sue! Sam! Selena! I mean, Elena!!
ReplyDeleteYep, the numbers are a bit lower. Traffic at the weekends is typically
ReplyDelete25-30% down from Weekdays
I just came to know of this now lol. And for a moment, I was shocked that Sam was losing. Thanks for the info that Sam is actually winning.
ReplyDeleteBut if in 5400 votes, there are duplicates, the actual number is pretty low. The turn out for this round has been pretty low, I guess, many people don't know of this yet.
Don't worry, he's not. We'll be removing all the duplicate poll votes
ReplyDeletewhen the poll closes in a couple of hours. He's well ahead currently.
I just can't believe Sam is loosing to some NCIS guy...
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean their not up their in numbers yet? They've got the highest numbers out of everyone in this round...
ReplyDeleteThe books also have Elena with Damon in the middle section. Such a shame.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that people don't know about the poll yet. Hopefully, news will spread quickly and Sam will reclaim some ground.
ReplyDeleteWow, the turnout for Sam is pretty lame. I wouldn't freak out if Sam loses to Gibbs, he's a worthy opponent, but both Gibbs and Sam aren't even up there in vote numbers yet. I'm disappointed in the turnout for this one so far. Eh, times not up yet, so maybe something will happen to make this less pathetic in my eyes. I'm out for now everyone. See ya later and good luck with your choices.
ReplyDeletebut there's always damon...
ReplyDeleteUgh, I used to think people were joking when I was told about these epic sam vs dean fangirl all-out brawls. I guess they are real. That's just effing stupid.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me like while she and Damon seem to have built up something, it's a friendship, not a sexual relationship. As in the season 2 premiere "I'm surprised you thought I'd kiss you back" (or something to that effect) --I think the stupid rolling around threesome in the bed was sorta like Katherine playing with both of 'em since she has to play Katherine this year too.
ReplyDeleteI will say this though: if I had to guess, at some point this season I'll bet that they make Elena go for Damon somehow. As you said, the CW like to do stuff like that on their shows.
Yes you can vote more than once using the iPhone but your vote doesn't count .. I tried voting more than once using the iPhone and the number of votes didn't change
ReplyDeleteare you actually sure you can vote more than once? do the numbers on the poll go up each time? and if they do are you sure its not just someone voting at the same time as you and its showing there vote?
ReplyDeleteit would be really annoying if this round is not valid again.
Nevermind my last post. Not sure if this poll is reliable anymore. At least not for 3G networks anyway. Just voted 3x with phone,
ReplyDeleteSee if you're having the same issues with your phone. Mine let's me vote more than once, whereas my computer won't even give me the option. But I want to make sure it's not just with me or my phone, lol. sanity check please. And I also know someone who is having trouble even accessing the poll. I want this poll to be accurate, if Sam has to lose, I want it to be a legitimate loss at least. >< lol
ReplyDeletenope. its not your imagination. my phone let me vote more than once, in fact I stopped on the third time cuz i was afraid it would lose its access to the poll. this is starting to get on my nerves. :)
ReplyDelete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A WASH AGAIN! >< I just noticed (and tested) that I can vote more than once with my iPhone, even though I still cannot vote more than once with my pc or laptop. This poll has now, once again, lost it's validity.
ReplyDeleteMy votes go to Booth, Cristina, THE AMAZING LEROY JETHRO GIBBS, and Rachel Berry...
ReplyDeleteThat would be Booth, Sue, and Sam for me. Reasons (in great detail :-P) in earlier comments. I do hope Sam gets more votes by the time I wake up. I apparently am posting this link too often on Facebook so I can't spread the word as much as I would like.
ReplyDeleteGIBBS!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi to you too, but I am voting for Sam just like Amy. Also, I have been watching the Vampire Diaries like everyone said I should, but the only character I really like is Matt. It must be all the relationship drama I get working in a school, but I can't make myself care about Elena and Stefan's tragic love story. They bore me and make me roll my eyes. Still, Rachel is annoyance personified so it's a toss up for me on this one.
ReplyDeleteMay have to do with the fact that I posted the link on about six regularly visited NCIS sites hehe (:
ReplyDeleteSam and The Doctor for me (again). Sorry Gibbs (again). Good to have the poll underway (again).
ReplyDeleteAnd now he is winning AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteIt's not your imagination....the only way I can see the results again is "voting" again...but I don't know if my vote count
ReplyDeletewhere is everybody??? Dean won with 7000 votes and Sam just has 1300 votes... we need to warn more people for votes
ReplyDeleteno, its ur imagination, or a glitch with ur computer because I no longer have an option to vote, it's just the numbers...
ReplyDeleteGIBBS IN THE LEAD!!!!!! YESSSSSS!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if the IP voting is working. I'm almost positive it let me vote again with the same IP. Can anybody else verify this? Or is it just my imagination?
ReplyDeleteI get the same thing Panda. Not sure what that's all about.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the season 5 finale. I mean before hand I though it'd be good and hell I did not like season 5. But as soon as the voiceover with Chuck started you could see where they were going with it. And there were some cheesy moments in Swan Song. Worst one? Sam closing his eyes and starting to fall backwards into the hole. It made me cringe.
ReplyDeleteSAM! SAM! SAM! VOTE FOR SAM! THE BROTHERS WINCHESTER BELONG TOGETHER!
ReplyDeletethe doctor and sam!!!
ReplyDeleteHello there back :) Gibbs? argh! nooo! lmao well, hello again anyway :)
ReplyDeleteYay, poll's back on! Voted for Seeley, Sue, Sam (SAM MUST WIN!) and Elena :)
ReplyDeleteNo worries :)
ReplyDeleteGood to have the poll back in action. Thanks for redoing this round instead of just saying it was caught too late or something to that effect. This way the results can be judged fairly.
ReplyDeleteAmusing that it took cheating and a total of over 31,000 votes just to finally "beat" Sam. lol. Good job SpoilerTV mods for catching this error and allowing us to have a rematch. :)
ReplyDeleteSue, SAM! and Elena.
ReplyDeleteSammmm!!!!! xD
ReplyDeleteI hope it's OK to "try" to vote again, because that is the only way I can see to check the numbers.... I don't see a link like they had on the polldaddy one to View Results without attempting to vote...
ReplyDeleteSeems to be working like it's supposed to. Every time I check to see how the poll is going, I notice that it will not allow me to vote again. Glad Sam is doing good. Thank you SpoilerTV for the rematch!! :)
ReplyDeleteI voted for Sam Winchester he must win!
ReplyDeleteThis site should help with timezones etc
ReplyDeletehttp://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/custom.html?cities=103,104,136,137,776,240,196,248,213,179,127,176
What is that in CST?
ReplyDeleteYep, we've done a lot of testing for a couple of days. You can only
ReplyDeletevote once per IP.
Hopefully Polldaddy will get their code fixed and we can go back to
using them as they are easier for us to use etc.
It doesn't seem to be warning you that you already voted again. I don't know micropoll... Are they reliable?
ReplyDeleteI hope this one works better. Go Sam!
Come on Sammy boy!
ReplyDeleteIt will close 24hrs after it went live around 16:00 today GMT time
ReplyDeleteYes...again my vote to Sammy Winchester...
ReplyDeleteOne question, this poll closed... when????
I'm so glad we're redoing these polls. Round 1.2 was an absolute disaster.
ReplyDeleteI disagree and think you are trying to paint a different picture than what happened. A poll was posted. In response to the low turn out you didn't merely question if perhaps some fans were voting against Dean you said that you were certain some were and then edited it to change that fact. As for people hating on characters. That has existed since the fandom began. It's not a new thing. Ignoring it or addressing those specific individuals would be a preferable option to blanket statements that indicate you have a belief not a question that fans are doing what you said. Even if that is your belief and you were just stating that as an opinion you have to know it's going to get a reaction because your belief is one that carries the viewpoint that the reason a character is losing a poll has to do with fans of another character voting it down. In what fandom exactly would not that not illicit some sort of a negative or defensive response except fantasy land? Especially when in the context of the topic in question it came out of nowhere. The small but vocal minority should be directly addressed in relevant topics where they are posting their viewpoints that offend you so. To blanket the entire forum with a passive aggressive comment in response to those users in a topic that was only asking for votes, not only hijacked the topic and turned it into a circus but also showed you take the small but vocal minority so personally you are willing to disrupt the entire forum to express your annoyance about them no matter how inconsiderate it is to other users who maybe just wanted to express excitement over the poll and encourage people to keep voting. After your comment I saw none of that. Maybe some users reacted poorly but they would have had nothing to react to if you hadn't let your itchy little fingers type a check your butt couldn't cash.
ReplyDeletevote x dam and elena!!!
ReplyDeleteVoted for The Doctor, Sam & Elena :)
ReplyDeletehahaha. Yeah, it's a shame we had to stall the competition for a couple of days, but we've resurrected it with the new polls.
ReplyDeleteGood to be back! :P
Sam Winchester and Elena Gilbert.
ReplyDeleteDamn I voted twice the last time and today, I thought it was two different round! :(
ReplyDeleteNope, sorry. I haven't gotten into Buffy so I have no idea what was in the show. I'm very picky about television and Buffy never grabbed my attention long enough for me to follow the show seriously. At least now I know the reference, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYep, agree.
ReplyDeleteIf you find a post that oversteps the mark, click the Flag button/link
under the offensive comments and our moderators will look into it.
We want SpoilerTV to be a place where ALL fans from ALL shows can
happily discuss their shows without getting abused by others, unlike a
lot of unmoderated sites like IMDB etc.
Totally agree with you Dahne1. I come here to get away from all that
ReplyDeleteYour post made me smile HelloGoodbye.
ReplyDeleteIn jumping in and totally overreacting again, using inflammatory language, exaggerating ('blanket the whole forum', 'turned it into a circus' - really?), being insulting etc you have totally proved the points the other contributors, are making. The person who started it has admitted her words weren't well chosen. I presume she edited them for that reason rather than to hide anything. She never implied there were enough people who would vote against Sam to make a difference - but you are naive to think it was a ridiculous suggestion to imply that some would. I know some who did. So what exactly is your beef here?
When someone makes a post - which only suggested some very pro Dean (ie anti Sam) fans might just vote against him - a claim I doubt you can prove is wrong - that they say generated an overreaction - and you post a completely over the top response - you are just proving their point for them.
But we should all focus on making sure Sam wins now when the poll goes back up.
I think you are both hijacking a peaceful board. Please take it back to IMDB. We strive for peace here.
ReplyDeleteMy votes went to The Doctor, Sue, SAM <3 and Elena
ReplyDeletei agrede with everything mia494 just said gotta love sammy
ReplyDeleteLol. The yellow crayon is a reference to Buffy when Xander talked Willow out of destroying the world by referencing their childhood together. In other words, Willow was going full on evil and Xander was able to bring her back to her human side by reminding her of her childhood through a broken yellow crayon. Sound familiar?
ReplyDeleteOh I'm going away for a few days starting tomorrow, so I don't think I will be voting for the repeat of this round. Shame on that. Best of luck Booth. But I might try and check it on my mobile. Hopefully :)
ReplyDeleteBlasphemy! lol, jk.
ReplyDeleteI am of the opinion that Swan Song rocked my socks off. The only part I didn't care for was the cliffhanger. If they didn't show that then I would have fully loved the episode. I think if they left the brothers in the situations they were in then that would have been cliffhanger enough.
Other than that I found the episode very touching and since I don't know what you're talking about when you say Yellow Crayon, I can't comment there. Season 1 was more of a shocker, I agree. On the way to the hospital and BAM out of nowhere.
Now that we know that we have different opinions about Swan Song we can no longer be friends :P All I know is I loved it. Haven't seen White Collars finale yet.
Swan Song was not my favorite finale by a long shot. Most people loved Metallicar saving the day, but all I could think of from the moment Chuck started talking in the beginning was they were turning her into the freaking yellow crayon. Been there, done that, didn't like it the first time. White Collar's finale reminded me more of SPN season 1 finale. Something to definitely get people talking about over the summer. SPN's felt more like the end of an era. As a series ender, it was poignant and touching if not a complete downer. As a season finale it lacked punch. Is White Collar better than SPN? Of course not! And I may revise my opinion when White Collar is in the middle of an unending hiatus and SPN is just getting started again. But for right now, I loved White Collar's cliffhanger just as much as I hate it and that brings me right back to the season 1 cliffhanger of SPN.
ReplyDeleteWhen polldaddy have fixed the bug
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen White Collar's finale yet but I can say confidently that it almost definitely didn't top "Swan Song"...
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know when the poll will be posted again?
ReplyDeleteI am the person who inadvertently started the furore on IMDB. This was done in all innocence. I love both characters equally, and was simply speculating, as there has been a huge amount of anti-Sam sentiment on IMDB in recent days, that some of those rabid (and some are, albeit a minority) Sam haters might have voted for the other guy. If you could see some of the things they say about Sam this is hardly a big leap.
ReplyDeleteThere was IMO a huge overreaction to my question, but that is how things are there these days. I seem now to have been categorised as a Dean and Dean-fan hater which genuinely could not be further from the truth. I absolutely love Dean but I love Sam just as much.
I am sorry that Sam is losing this poll, and was really pleased when Dean won the other day. Sometimes the fandom is not a nice place to be. Yesterday was one of those days for me :(
People who vote more than once are not cheaters, because they just did what was allowed in that moment. What Dahne1 said about people who don't know that they can't vote more times is no their fault, is fault of PollDaddy because even when Polldaddy don't count more than one vote, people can confuse to see that they can "choose" again his favorite and click again in "vote". That confuse the people, in other polls they warning you with lines like "you already vote in this poll, your last vote don't count" or things like that, with this, people understand more clearly.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but... If you have the drive to repeat vote in this poll, you've probably been following it and know that it's not normally allowed. And yes, even though I've said I'm of the opinion that I don't want Sam or Dean to win, what I just said was slamming the people who were trying to out them unfairly. Shame on you. If Sam or Dean do well, good for them. I wouldn't resort to trickery.
ReplyDeleteSkate = Sawyer/Kate relationship. Jate = Jack/Kate relationship.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that much about Supernatural fandom, but imagine a thing where it's like "Sam girls" and "Dean girls" rivarlies/arguments, infuse romance, intensify times a million to the power of immaturity, with a dose of "all other LOST fans hate you for caring and arguing about this so much and making us look bad."
The love "unknown shape" of Lost was the part of the show I hated the most. On most fan polls of like "Which 'ship do you care about the most" options like "don't care"/"seriously sick of this" were always at least as high as the most popular 'ship.
The Sawyer/Juliet (I think they use "Suliet") thankfully saved it though. In one episode they introduced and established the best relationship on the show according to most people. PB&J is the only one I ever actually cared about (bonus points because it's by far the most clever 'ship name. Pregnant Babe & Junkie, Charlie and Claire).
This must be a LOST thing because I have no idea what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteEdited - Facepalm. You must mean Sawyer/Kate vs. Jack/Kate. Duh! I'm a little slow today.
*points to the new update* Looks like the jokes on us both, panda.... :D
ReplyDeleteSome people probably honestly did not know that this was against the rules. Many polls do let you vote more than once. I've had to explain to many people that their vote only counts once. Many people still think they can vote multiple times even when it says thank you, we've already counted your vote.
ReplyDeleteI had almost 6 times as many votes as I usually have on my PollDaddy poll too this week. I think I just found out why.
Well I got up this morning, fired up the laptop and there it was: polldaddy had a whoopsy! So no results.
ReplyDeleteWe have to do it all over again? I'm shattered!! This is too exhausting for an old lady like me!
Maybe we should send Sam and Dean in to waste the gremlins in the system?
OK. I KNEW!!! there was something fishy going on. Maybe it was happening on both sides, but regardless, something stank. Like sulfur-style. Go Sam! :D
ReplyDeletelol major screw up with the polldaddy polls? Let the controversial backlash begin. this may even best the infamous Smallville vs. VD incident. :P
ReplyDelete:) good lol
ReplyDeleteActually it was a joke. I do not know how to cheat.
ReplyDeleteAnyone caught cheating/repeat voting again will be IP banned from the
ReplyDeletesite and from all future polls.
Cheating will be working next time. :D Don't worry about this.
ReplyDeleteIt's not my fault. It's yours. :-P
ReplyDeletetotally, I mean why does it have to be Dean or Sam? I want both! lol no, really, I adore Dean, but I couldn't hate Sammy who is just that amazing. And then again, who would one be without the other?
ReplyDeleteyep, so now we're given another shot at it, I really hope there are some brothers fans out there too, not just Dean fans or Sam fans, and that we're gonna get Sammy through this round eventually ;)
I vot for Sam Winchester
ReplyDeleteFandom can be a very unpleasant place at times. And unfortunately, there will always be factions who are extreme. It really doesn't make sense to me to love Dean and not the other and vice versa. Dean and Sam make the show together. Just ignore them lol and just support Dean and Sam. We have an uphill task in our hands.
ReplyDeleteAfter getting a second chance, I'd hate to see Sam lose.
Cheating didn't work so you rant at someone who is donating their free time to this Cup instead....riiiight ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right ebbingtides that I didn't word things very well - but I hardly think it warranted the reaction I got. Hey ho. Chalk it down to experience.
ReplyDeleteIt is ironic though that I was accused of trying to split the fandom, yet someone can say that Sam is evil and Dean should have nothing more to do with him (or vice versa from the (much fewer on that board anyway) Dean-haters) and apparently that is just debate and everyone has a right to their opinion. Well of course they do, but expressing opinions like that are IMO far more devisive than my, admittedly badly worded, speculation.
Ha lol
ReplyDeleteOh, haha. You're right. Definitely a slip of the tongue. Wishful thinking I guess. xD I edited it to make things clearer, not that it really matters anymore xD
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure The Doctor can beat Booth even in a fair fight. While I definitely think The Doctor is the better character, Booth could also have a lot of David Boreanaz fans from the Buffy days going for him. Not to mention (if this is wrong, it's cos I'm not from the US) Doctor Who doesn't seem to have as large a following as it does in the UK. But we can hope and my vote is definitely going to The Doctor.
ReplyDeleteRachel Berry is a much more endearing character than Elena Gilbert, I hope she closes the gap.
ReplyDeleteElena V Rachel... No contest for me... Elena! :)
ReplyDeleteVote for @ninadobrev as elena gilbert in The Vampire Diaries .... :)#VOTE http://www.spoilertv.com/2010/09/2010-character-competition-day-4-round.html
ReplyDeleteUm, not really. I still can't see it :-\
ReplyDeleteI voted Sue, Sam, and Elena.
ReplyDeleteAren't you glad you have this site to hide in? The one still sane place to go when people are attacked by the Croatoan crazies. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is where I leave you. lol *runs before the Sam Vs. Dean wars approach*
ReplyDeletewhere the hell are you, Supernatural fans? Sam really needs some backup at this point...
ReplyDeleteMy votes went to 'The Doctor' & Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
ReplyDeleteI feel it's unfair to get involved in the other two as I would have to vote for Glee, not something I want to do. :P (Plus I haven't seen Glee)
Mental :(
ReplyDeleteNO! How can you make me pick out of Gibbs and Sam? :O
ReplyDeleteThe Doctor is losing to Booth, HOW CAN THIS BE?!
ReplyDeleteBooth and Sam Winchester! Don't know the other characters.
ReplyDeleteCome 'on Sammy go..go.. and Cristina Yang Let's go ..... Go You Will Win
ReplyDeletethe Doc, Sammy, Sue and Rachel.
ReplyDeleteDont watch Dr Who but anyone is better than Booth. The other 3 are just awesome.
Would have voted for booth but after I found out he cheated on his wife it soured the character he plays.
ReplyDeleteDoc, Gibbs, Sue and Rachel
Vote for @ninadobrev as elena gilbert :)http://www.spoilertv.com/2010/09/2010-character-competition-day-4-round.html

ReplyDeleteMY VOTO FOR WINCHIS BOY, SAMMY WINCHESTER
You know, there is a difference beetwen fiction and reality..
ReplyDeleteOf course I know that, but I always a character more likable if I like
ReplyDeletethem in realife. Knowing that David is not a very nice man in real
life affects how I view any characters he plays.
Sam Winchester vs. Leroy Jethro Gibbs poll not showing so I can't vote on this category!
ReplyDeleteHey, I can't see the Sam vs. Gibbs poll anymore :( What happened?
ReplyDeleteI'm just looking into it.
ReplyDeleteIt should be fixed now.
ReplyDeleteYes I know, not sure what's up.
ReplyDeleteI've add a link to a direct link to the poll page that you'll have to
use for now
It's because many people don't know who the doctor is... "Bones" is more famous, I think.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say more famous, The Doctor has been around since before Booth was born after all. Just more popular with people who visit STV for some reason :)
ReplyDeleteha yes, always with him :)
ReplyDeleteNo, just more famous in the USA. Bones gets MUCH larger ratings then Dr. Who.
ReplyDeleteOh man, again with the tough choices! I love Gibbs, but I guess I'll have to choose Sammy out of loyalty. And how can The Doctor be losing right now? Where are my Doctor Who fans?
ReplyDeleteMy vote went to Sam Winchester. No contest for me on that one; I think he's all kinds of awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I voted for The Doctor (as much as I may love Booth).
(I'm not familiar with the other three shows.)
Well since people love Dean a lot and I think Sam beats Dean completely then of course i'm going to vote for Sam on this, Sam totally surpasses his brother for me, i've been a sam girl from the start and a sam girl to the death and while i totally will support Dean on every track of his votes too, if it comes down to Sam vs Dean then Dean i shall kick you to the curb bud cos your baby brother DOES it for me boy. Go Sam and Dean but at the end of the day GO SAM!
ReplyDeleteIf booth beats arguably the greatest character ever to appear on television I will lose all faith with humanity.
ReplyDeletelol here we are, a Sam girl and a Dean girl playing in the same team... for now :P I love Dean to pieces, but what would Dean be without Sam anyway? Plus, Sam's got really awesome throughout the series and totally hot as well!! I mean, he's no competition for Dean in my mind, but I'd really have a hard time voting if it came to Sam vs Castiel, because I so love both! I mean, I probably should go for Sam because he's the main character, Dean's brother and pretty much means everything to the plot while Cas is just some character that happened to stick with the series longer than expected, but I really don't know if I'd ever be able to vote against Castiel. The guy is just too awesome ;)
ReplyDelete- The Doctor
ReplyDelete- Cristina Yang
- Leroy Gibbs
- Elena Gilbert
Pretty easy choices today.
I voted for Booth ( it`s a shame bones didn´t make it ;/ , hope Booth will!!! ) , Christina ( she`s the only character from greys, I like ^^ and I have never watched Glee) , Sammy ( of course, even so I absolutely prefer Dean ;D ), Elena ( only because I don´t know glee at all )
ReplyDeleteStill can´t believe that characters like Buffy or Bones didn`t make it through ;°(
