As we march onto through the second half of the first round, I finally spent the first night in my student accommodation in New York, and today I'm starting my two month course in screen-writing. Should be interesting I hope. Therefore I'm gonna be away when the other polls close to I am getting this one up a little bit earlier so that it can get going whilst I'm working my way around Manhattan.
Also keep upto date with the competition and/or ask questions by following me on twitter. I'll also post some of my reviews, writing updates & other bits & bobs, more often than not TV and Film based. I'm at: http://twitter.com/AdDHarris
Yesterday, (I'm gonna make educated guesses who the winners are) saw Clark & Lois of Smallville both use each others support to eliminate Eric Northman, and more significantly perhaps, Dana Scully, from the competition. Fox is gonna have to go this fight alone. Also there were victories for NCIS with Ziva David, certainly pleasing that crowd after Leroy Jethro Gibbs failed to legitimately challenge Sam Winchester the day before, as well as Peter Bishop seeing Fringe has an entry in round two as he beat Richard Castle fairly comfortably.
Today is a day with some of the competition's biggest names fighting it out for a place in round two, including a huge 3 characters from House. The first battle sees the titular 'Greg House' take on the also titular lead, 'Chuck'. Also we have '30 Rock's' Liz Lemon facing 'House's' Allison Cameron as well as 'The Vampire Diaries' Damon Salvatore taking on James Wilson, the final 'House' entrant today. Finally we have 'Gilmore Girls' Lorelai Gilmore squaring against 'Fringe' detective Olivia Dunham. Today is certainly going to make for interesting reading, House was one of he biggest flops in the Show Competition, can it improve today?

In advance, the voting window is 24 hours, and I have set closing times for the poll, but if they do not work, or they aren't set at any point in the competition, the poll will close when I check the votes myself. This is not at all due to cheating, it's due to the fact that I will be busy and so please let's avoid the torrent of abuse that the infamous Smallville vs. The Vampire Diaries produced :P
Have fun guys, and any questions as always email me on:
