Hey Guys,
Yesterday was a brutal slog for a place in the Quarter Finals... and we have to say goodbye to both 24 and LOST in a day that is sure to damage many peoples hopes that one of STV's golden oldies could spring a surprise... As is to be expected, the current shows have such a strong active fan-base that it's hard to beat them when finished shows are beginning to pick up dust, and both 24 and LOST fell victim to that. Of course, take nothing away from NCIS and The Vampire Diaries who both made it into the Quarter Finals and a poll which on paper you would expect would be heading towards The Vampire Diaries after a massive 1,600+ votes that managed to squeeze out a LOST comeback over the second half of the day...
Today sees sci-fi phenomenon Fringe challenging the very popular drama Veronica Mars in the first poll for a place in the third Quarter Final as well as Vampire smash-hit Buffy taking on the new and critically acclaimed fantasy drama Game Of Thrones. Both should be tough to call, and by tomorrow night we will know six of our final eight shows in the STV Show Competition!
The rules for, for anyone new to the competition are very simple. There will be new sets of shows against each other every day in a new set of polls... simply vote for your favourite and the show with the most votes will win that days poll and head into the next round.
Don't forget to spread the word, and tweet out the competition to friends as well as facebook liking the post...
Also if you are taking part in the prediction competition, don't forget to follow your scores HERE Long time leader Sergey Sevostianov had his biggest day to date, maintaining a 100% record in R3 and pulling a huge nine points clear from second placed Yvonne Damon with 72 points to 63. Sadly, long time strong competitor Dahne has sunk from second to 8th after a disastrous day on 59 points.
All that's left to say, is good luck to every show...
... and let the battles begin!
