The 2011 STV Favourite Character Competition - Competition Delayed By One Week! - Time Extended To Predict The Winners And Win A DVD Boxset!

30 Aug 2011

Share on Reddit
Update: 30th August Adam unfortunately is delayed getting back to New York due to the Hurricane so we'll be delayed by a few days.

There are currently 23 people who have not fully filled out their brackets. Make sure you double-check yours to ensure missing out. Don't be one of the 23!

Update: 27th August Only a few days left to get your predictions in. Also if you have entered your predictions, make sure you have fully completed it.

UPDATE 19th August: Due to new plans I have had to delay the start of the competition by seven days so that we will start on Monday 29th August. Sorry for the late notice but things come up and I would rather not start the competition for two days then put it on hold for 4 days. Therefore we can start on the following Monday and have a continuous non-stop competition!
As a result, the prediction stage has also been extended for a week, so submissions can be entered by Sunday 28th August at the latest!

Hey Guys,

The time is here where the pathway for all 64 characters has been decided, the draw is made and we are only one week away from our month of fun and excitement as those 64 ends up as one.

Who will win and who you want to win are two very different things, and that is where this game within the competition becomes a lot of fun. What you have to do is predict who you think will win each round of the draw, if you are correct you gain points, if you are incorrect you lose points. Whoever can predict the outcome of the competition closest will win an Amazon DVD voucher that could get you a TV Series of your choice!

Follow the instructions below on hoq to enter the game and predict exactly who will win each battle all the way to the final. It's simple, fun and gives you an added incentive to get into the competition.
If you already know how to use the 'dawgsled' predictor system then head straight HERE

Of course, the key advice I can give you is do NOT predict who you want to win, but rather predict who you think WILL win!

A reminder on how the draw has been done is that in the main draw for the competition, there was some seeding of the top eight most voted for guys and girls who could not be drawn together until the later stages of the competition. Barring that it was luck of the draw, and it has led to some killer match ups very early on

The only rule for the prediction side of competition is that you have until Sunday 21st to get your entries in. The competition will begin on Monday 22nd!

All that is left to do, is get predicting...

  1. Some tough rounds in the competition, and I think that Dean Winchester, Fox Mulder, Chuck Bartowski, Walter Bishop & Buffy should stand a chance at the 2011 title!

  2. Great stuff Adam.

    Hoping I can do a little better than last year!

    ReplyDelete
  3. the hardest part is knowing which actors are which when you dont watch the show.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Oooh! This is great. I always do terribly at these predictions ha ha

    ReplyDelete
  5. gonna be interesting to see how this turns out. 
    nice to see Parker (Leverage) as one of the characters.

    ReplyDelete
  6. i had chuck go out pretty early. Im predicting a walter vs Dean final

    ReplyDelete
  7. I have a LOT of favorite characters in that list,but if I had to choose one for the win,it'd be Barney or Buffy.Who I think will win?Cas,Dean,Olivia or Peter.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Don't count Kurt Hummel out. I have a huge fanbase ready to vote. I think I got it right with him winning as I have done it before. Not sure if I will get the others right.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Thanks great idea

    ReplyDelete
  10. Absolutely. I'm way too lazy to look it up, so I just went with my gut which usually brings me nowhere in these competitions.

    ReplyDelete
  11. You don't have to be Nostradamus to predict that a Winchester will at least reach the finale, I would be surprise if one of them wouldn't win. My finale prediction is D. Winchester vs. W. Bishop.

    ReplyDelete
  12. My finale prediction is the same 

    ReplyDelete
  13. my four were down to Castiel, Mulder, Dean & Booth. Was hard having to choose between the Winchesters and Brennan and Booth. We'll see who wins.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I have a very similar prediction but I think that Olivia will be vs. Dean I could be wrong but I do think that Olivia will be strong in this year's voting

    ReplyDelete
  15. wow.. there were some difficult choices to make.. Booth vs. Dunham ?! cruel !   I have Walter Bishop edging out Dean Winchester for the win.... but i also do horribly at these ;o) 

    ReplyDelete
  16. Some tough choices right out of the gate and the second round is going to be even worse. I'm pretty terrible at the predictions but I think I got some of them right.

    ReplyDelete
  17. That was really hard, especially when it came to characters I love!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I've got Dean Winchester, Jack Shepherd, Buffy Summers and Damon Salvatore in the final 4. That includes both who I think will win and who I want to win oddly enough. 

    ReplyDelete
  19. Let me guess: Want to win Jack or Buffy. Think will win ean or Damon??

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm usually horrible at these things but I picked Buffy and Dean to win it all.

    ReplyDelete
  21. this is gonna be tough! I'm going to think about it carefully!! :) 
    ( I'm at the second pairing and I don't know who I must choose...... :/)
    this is worse than the show competition!! I'm going to fail in everything!! lol, whatever, this is fun! :P

    ReplyDelete
  22. as much as i'd like buffy to do well she went out in the first round last year so i'm not expecting much

    ReplyDelete
  23. Ahhh. Just for fun I visited the Brackets site today and was only the 2nd Player to join the contest. Already wondered why there were only so few people registered...it still had to be announced! lol
    Yeah, I also have Chuck loosing pretty early and Walter vs. Dean in the Final. This time I picked against my knowledge many VD characters to advance, so don't fool me!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Haha... I was wondering how there was a second person already signed up when I woke up this morning... It was only all finalised late last night :P

    ReplyDelete
  25. don't know how, but my bracket ended Dean vs. Buffy... lol
    I think I won't be winning the dvds! :P but it's such a hard choice that I don't know how to change it, so by now,  it's going to be like that! definately, it was worse than the show competition! my heart broke many times while voting!!  I don't know what I'm going to do when voting comes... :/

    ReplyDelete
  26. The reasons are the Time difference and a bit of Coincidence...or was it Fate?! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  27. You think Castiel or Jack will beat Chuck??

    ReplyDelete
  28. I had picker Castiel to beat him. Not because I think her character is superior, only cause I've learned and suffered in previous competitions, that the VD and SN fanbase on SpoilerTV is big.

    ReplyDelete
  29. castiel will beat chuck. I love chuck but there seems to be something about a gruff sounding angel that seems to take peoples fancy

    ReplyDelete
  30. For me there's gonna be Dexter Morgan vs Kate Beckett finale :)))

    ReplyDelete
  31. Not exactly. I love Buffy, which is still one of my most favourite fan experiences. But I don't think she can beat the guys. I can't decide if Jack winning last year is going to cost him the win this year or if he can beat Dean. I hope not, as I would like to see Dean or Damon as the winner. My guess is Dean, though. Don't think Damon can take him in the finale.

    I have to say that the road(s) to the final four was hard. Fox Mulder and Chuck could have been in my final four as well (I think Mulder will fall foul of Kurt due to the strength of the Glee crowd). There were very few choices where I was sure. I remember Elena Gilbert as doing well last year, but I don't think she will beat Tyrion Lannister.

    Then again it has to be said that I was in shared 1 places in round one of the Show competition for a day, and then it was all down hill from there. And I don't tend to place high in these things. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  32. If that happens I'll watch every episode of Gossip Girl 7 times before the end of December...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Filled out my bracket, somehow ended up with Dean Winchester vs. Kurt Hummel in the final, so we shall see. Hadn't a clue about a number of the characters, so my predictions may end up being very off!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hello everyone.
    I thought competition will begin in september. Anyway , I am glad to see that the competition will begin next monday.

    My personal favourites are Rachel Berry, Michael Weston, Jack Shepherd and Dean. One of them should win the whole competition :D

    I'm pretty sure that one of Winchester brothers will be winner. But I think Damon Salvatore or probably Walter Bishop can compete with one of them.

    Buffy, Castle, Malcolm Reynolds (or Castiel) and Fox Mulder also have good chances for TOP 4 in my opinion. I don't think Chuck will go far this year. I really hope LOST characters will do well in the competition, but I don't see this happens.

    I think Chuck vs Malcolm will be toughest battle in the first round. It's so hard to predict the winner of this poll.

    I hate the fact Smallville ignored this year. Not that I like this show, just at least Clarke Kent deserves to be in TOP 64.

    Good luck to all participants of
    the competition. I hope it will be fun.

    P.S. sorry for my English again. =)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Your English is excellent :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. Not that I'm sadistic (much), but if it is Dexter vs. Beckett I won't be hardbroken at the extreme beating that'll give my brackets. :P

    ReplyDelete
  37. Aw man, Tyrion Lannister vs. Elena Gilbert. Elena destroyed last year. Tyrion never even had a chance xD. The question is, do I kamikaze my bracket for the sake of being awesome, or do I pinch my nose and mark the ballot?

    ReplyDelete
  38. This is way better than basketball brackets.

    ReplyDelete
  39. He must not have gotten enough nominations.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I remember 1/2 nominations for him but that's about it...

    ReplyDelete
  41. I went for Tyrion. I remember Elena doing well last year, but come on it's Tyrion! 

    You could come get my back.....  ;)

    ReplyDelete
  42. Haha well ironically, this site was first developed for the basketball tournament.  We spun it off to do the Lost character and episode cups a few years ago, and we've carried it over to SpoilerTV.  The hoops site is still active, though--but there's about 4x as many user accounts created for DarkUFO's brackets.  :-)

    ReplyDelete
  43. Sam, Dean, and Castiel are my choices! =] And I love them all equally, but we all know Dean Winchester will win it all for Supernatural!!! =D GO TEAM SPN!!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. really tough pickins'! but came away with Dean and Walter in the final also!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Are you freaking kidding me Adam?  You're going to make me choose from Fiona and Buffy in the first round.  Castiel is going against Mal in the first round?  I'm also going to have to say goodbye to Parker, Tony, Booth, Abby, and Veronica in the first round.  I call a do-over.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't even know hat show a couple of them are on.  That's the biggest disadvantage in the character cup compared to the Best Show competition.  I figure anyone with a really weird name comes from Game of Thrones but the other ones I'm at a loss.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yeah, until you see she's going against Kurt from Glee in the first round.  Heartbreaking.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I would have said Walter over Peter but he's in the same bracket as Olivia so who knows.

    ReplyDelete
  49. That was incredibly fun! It's funny how often my answer is NOT my personal choice. I ended up with Dean Winchester vs Walter Bishop too.

    ReplyDelete
  50. The Winchesters both lost early in last year's contest.  

    ReplyDelete
  51. yeah, I saw that *sighs* but at least she made it in to the competition, so that's something right?!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Dean Winchester to beat Fox Mulder in the final by 54% - 46%.

    Also:
    Do you know how many nominations Hank Moody got?
    How will the winner receive their Amazon voucher?

    ReplyDelete
  53. That was definitely the way I think it will go. Not necessarily the way I want it to go -- except Dean wins. :) I'll admit that I had no idea who some of those characters even were. Maybe I need to watch more TV? 

    ReplyDelete
  54. Wow! There are a lot of hilariously cruel Round Two match-ups....  or cruelly hilarious maybe...

    This reeks of more than coincidence.... some very interesting match-ups if the bracket goes certain ways one could have Dean Winchester vs Sam Winchester, Buffy vs Spike, Jack Sheppard vs Benjamin Linus. Cruel indeed!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Lol, regardless of how I work my bracket, I'm voting for Tyrion. Also, as was shown in the best show competition, GoT did REALLY well, coming in 9th or something. We had the support of westeros.org and winter-is-coming.net, so, I'll probably message them again in time for these polls.

    ReplyDelete
  56. after doing so badly in all of these last eayr, i came pretty close with the best show one this year so hopefully i can get even closer for this competition
    so excited!!!!
    the hardest part of choosing your bracket is picking aginst who you want to win by trying to work out who you think will win

    i would love an all winchester showdown in the finale but it think its pretty unlikely

    ReplyDelete
  57. This is so hard... considering I dont watch a lot of the other shows and don't know which characters are more popular..

    ReplyDelete
  58. This is waaaay harder than the best show competition.I mean, how am I supposed to choose between two main characters of the same show,especially the very popular ones like Olivia and Walter from Fringe...

    ReplyDelete
  59. I feel physical pain making some choices. I feel like a traitor.

    ReplyDelete
  60. wow, never thought about Nathan the only man with 2 roles! happy about it!!  Nathan FTW! :P

    ReplyDelete
  61. Completed my bracket this morning, and it was ridiculously difficult!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I always suck at predicting these things..
    It probably doesn't help that I havent seen some of the shows that seem to be very popular..

    ReplyDelete
  63. I've only glanced through the bracket and i already know that I don't know half the people...
    Maybe because I live in Australia and some shows that are big in America aren't over here so I havent seen them..

    ReplyDelete
  64. Walter Bishop vs. Veronica Mars in the first round?! That's just mean.

    There were some really difficult choices in this bracket, but my final four were:

    Jack Shephard, Buffy Summers, Dean Winchester & Damon Salvatore.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hard to pick who you think will win.  Hoping it will be Damon or Sam Winchester.  Wooo hooo

    ReplyDelete
  66. I know nothing about Game Of Thrones.. And reading the comments everyone thinks the characters will do really well, but I have no idea if they will or not cause I dont know who they are..

    ReplyDelete
  67. Ooh, wonder if we have the exact same brackets all the way. Those are my final 4 too.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I know. There's quite a few of these shows I haven't seen either.

    Still, I'm especially glad that we are doing this during the hellatus, so at least the brackets can't get screwed up by last nights wild card game-changer of an episode or something like that.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I had those 4.... switched it to Spike in place od Damon. Honestly though I may double guess myself half a dozen more times before the deadline.

    Is it still considered double-guessing oneself if you do it 5 or 6 times?

    Ha! That reminds me of Veronica Mars. 
    When Logan sees Weevil being arrested and asks aloud 
    "Is it still deja vu when something happens more than twice?"

    ReplyDelete
  70. You too ;) Who did you have winning at the end?

    ReplyDelete
  71. But I doubt it will happen again.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I switched quite a few of the earlier pairings before I saved the bracket because I remembered how I underestimated quite a few fandoms in the best show competition.

    ReplyDelete
  73. That was hard to predict, because GoT has gathered quite a fanbase here. But I think Elena was the only female to reach my top 4 in the bracket.

    ReplyDelete
  74. The key to this competition is which of the major show fan sites pick up on and embrace the polls etc.

    It will only take one of the big fans sites for Supernatural, Fringe, TVD, House etc to get behind their characters and really make the numbers explode. It's so very hard to tell and with more and more people using social media such as Twitter/Facebook etc to "spread the word" I can only see this happening more and more.

    ReplyDelete
  75. lol I have that four except for Spike or Damon, I have Booth. I think the "New York Region" bracket is the worst to guess... :P (although there are a lot of tough decisions in all four.... ) 

    ReplyDelete
  76. Although I love Castiel and I know SPN is going to kick everyone, I can't put in my bracket that he'd win over Mal... I simply can't. Yes, my bracket is going to be doomed, but my hand can't click on Castiel seeing Malcolm below... XD and what about Lisbon vs. Phoebe? that was a hard one for me!!! :(

    ReplyDelete
  77. Dean beating Damon. I don't think Buffy can beat the guys, even with SMG getting back on the silver screen. And I just think that while Jack will go far, the fact that he won last year will count against him this time.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Its actually tough , in my final four i have: Dean, Jack, Fox and cant decide whether Walter or Damon will win, and then if either will make it to final two .... Also to choose between Jack and Dean is hard. :/

    ReplyDelete
  79. Some of those first rounds are extremely unfair and I foresee very close results for many of them.  Come on Supernatural fans, I'm counting on you to get Dean vs. Sam, Castiel to the finals...but then come on Game of Thrones people for Tyrion Lannister as the winner!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Unfortunately in SPN fandom Dean always seems to kick out Sam. So even though I'd love to see Sam win i have a feeling he'll be knocked out in round two against Dean. Since this is SPN fandom we're talking about I'm predicting Dean to win.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I hoping all my LOST and Fringe fans help Ben and Walter get to the finals!

    ReplyDelete
  82. no jack harkness anywhere? he's a fascinating character...

    ReplyDelete
  83. NOOOOOOOOO THIS IS BULL****!!!!

    How can I choose between Walter Bishop and Veronica Mars in the first round!?
    This is WRONG.

    ReplyDelete
  84. What about Katherine?
    I have her doing better than Elena.
    I should just give this up.
    This is torture.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I HATE THIS STUPID COMPETITION!!!!
    The fact that Either Walter or Veronica will fall out before round 2 tells me that this just isn't worth it! :(

    ReplyDelete
  86. Since this is the SPN fandom we're talking about, I'm probably going to hide during that round.

    O_O

    ReplyDelete
  87. The fact that I haven't seen a single minute of Vampire Diaries makes it so much harder for me to predict anything. I have no idea who this Katherine is, I only know that Elena should be the lead character and that there are 2 vampires in love with her, one of them played by Somerhalder, but I can't remember their names.
    I mainly watch AMC; FX & HBO shows (current and finished ones) and many of those characters that made the competition I can hardly rate. I need a miracle to make it very far in this competition...

    ReplyDelete
  88. Ok, after doing a bit of research into last year's competition I realized that predictions this year are as good as closing your eyes and picking someone... I just submitted my bracket...
    I had Dean Winchester vs. Olivia Dunham in the final round.

    But the whole bracket feels like it was taped together and held up with good vibes, so it won't take much to ruin it. 

    ReplyDelete
  89. in my final four I had
    Peter bishop , Dean winchester, buffy summers and walter bishop

    ReplyDelete
  90. You need a lot of LOST fans to get Ben to the finals! :P

    ReplyDelete
  91. When I filled in my brackets and I saw the R3 clash between the Winchesters I was like "Holy Shitaki Mushrooms" :P

    ReplyDelete
  92. Katherine is played by the same actress as Elena. 
    That's why this is so difficult. :/

    ReplyDelete
  93. Who wins between Winchesters...

    no one, that is!!!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Don't feel bad jaimee_123, I live here and I haven't heard of half of these characters either. :)

    ReplyDelete
  95. I had the same problem. I just can't see Cas beating Mal Reynolds. And who is Lisbon? I'm clueless.

    ReplyDelete
  96. Lisbon is the girl from The Mentalist, the group's 'chief' :P

    ReplyDelete
  97. I wonder if Elena did well last year because people couldn't vote for Katherine, or despite that.

    ReplyDelete
  98. My favourite moment in the round 1 elections was when I realised that I had just pitched Sam against Dean. Not that there was any other viable choice for me. But still. I know it doesn't make any sense but I actually finished all the other brackets to the final 4, before I let Dean beat Sam. 

    ReplyDelete
  99. Elena did even better than Damon last year. I don't know how or why, and I'm still confused by that because I'd thought that TVD fanbase would be more for Damon than Elena.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Is it wrong to be happy that your schedule changed?  It gives me a chance to wrap up the Supernatural contest and quite frankly, I am not happy with my bracket so I still haven't finalized it.  Another week to ponder and second guess myself.

    ReplyDelete
  101. And that would be a hell of a surprise match-up because even in SPN fandom Cass wouldn't stand a chance against Dean.

    ReplyDelete
  102. The Vancouver region I'm pretty satisfied is easy to predict and it'll take a big upset to sway my thinking over on that side (I'd absolutely love to be proved wrong and have Sam win over Dean in round 2). But as it stands I'm definitely convinced Dean will win that region.

    The New York region I'm also seeing as pretty predictable not withstanding a major upset. A Fringe vs VD final in that region with Damon of VD as the winner.

    Hollywood region there's a couple possible courses seeing as we'll have major players from Lost, Chuck, Fringe, and the SPN fandom all involved at some point. The power of SPN fandom is strong but I think Fringe and Chuck will pull out as the finalists for that region, with Fringe's Peter as the Hollywood winner.

    The New Orleans region though has me the most stumped and in that region I've changed my mind a dozen times already. Maybe because over in that bracket a lot of the characters are from shows that have fandom backing but it's sporadic and depends on who all gets the memo. I see Buffy easily taking the top of the bracket especially with SMG's return to tv this fall with Ringer and because she's up against a lot of shows that simply don't have a strong online backing. But the bottom of that bracket I can't really decide who'd come out. We've got VD, Game of Thrones, Lost, Glee and X-Files all with their very passionate fandoms but it's hard to say how many would turn out and do they like those characters enough to rally. I started out with VD's Elena taking that side to go up against Damon in the semi's but then really considered how many people actually watch that show for the girl and i also tend to hear more critical acclaim for that actress for Katherine anyways so I went back and removed Elena in favor of a strong showing again from game of Thrones. But could a relatively new show beat a character from a long standing favorite like John Locke of Lost? Then considering Locke in the final seasons I had to wonder how many Lost fans still actually like Locke. Then there's Kurt from Glee who has a huge following and Mulder from x-files but I figure Glee is more recent and has the better current backing online. let's just say I'll be watching the New Orleans bracket closely and I think there's going to be some major game changers down there depending on how the voting ends up going. I'll still probably end up changing my predictions over on that side a few more times before the comp starts. >_<

    ReplyDelete
  103. Haha... I'm more happy with it too :P So many things on atm that I'll have more time to get ready for it for next Monday!

  104. Nice post on the different sections!

    And I think everyone will be changing their predictions multiple times before the deadline!

  105. Ooohhh, nice list! I must say, it's gonna be a bloodbath! :D
    Who wins this is anyone's guess really. It could be a character from the classic X-Files, or from some of the currently popular Supernatural/Fringe/Game of Thrones/Vampire Diaries, or from a fandom willing to give some love and recognition to a show in its final season such as Chuck or a fandom desperate to get a show renewed because it bloody rocked and deserves many more seasons such as Legend of The Seeker.
    It will certainly be a battle of sci-fi and fantasy genre fans, because they're the craziest and most devoted. :P
    My champion is Richard Cypher (Legend of the Seeker) because the fandom needs all the attention it can get if it is to Save Our Seeker. So he'd better win! :)

  106. Thanks for the reminder.  I completely forgot about my bracket.  Time to re-sweat over all the tough matches.  So much harder than the Best Show contest.

  109. I think that whoever wins the Castiel vs Mal round wins the lower half of the Hollywood Region.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure who will prevail on it.  This is the match that I am most worried about because it has the farthest reaching consequences in my bracket.  However, I predict that Peter Bishop will represent Hollywood in the Final Four.

  110. I think Buffy will have a much better run this time.  She could easily make it into the Elite 8 as long as she can beat Castle.

  111. I'm hoping I do terribly this year.  Mostly because I have a lot of my favorite characters going out in the first round.

  112. I think the Castiel vs Mal match will be one of the hardest of the first round.  More importantly, it will effect everyone's bracket because I predict one of these two representing in the Elite 8.  The only other one that could be as hard in the first round is Lisbon vs Buffay.  There is less of a Mentalist presence on this site but Buffay was a character people either really liked or didn't.  

    The only sure prediction I can make is that the first round will see the end of several characters I really love.  :-(

  114. It's gonna get ugly for a little bit in this contest unfortunately but I like it sooner than later.

  115. That's my finale too but this contest is a thousand times harder than the best show one.  Given the fact that it will still be going on when shows starting premiering, all bets are off.  All it takes is one awesome premiere to upset the whole thing.

  116. Finally finished my bracket and I'm just as unhappy with it as I was the first day.  Some many factors could be a game changer in this one, especially as season premieres occur during this contest.  In all honesty, I think round one will shake things up more than my bracket shows.  Here's hoping I'm wrong in all instances except 2.

  117. Lisbon vs. Buffay? I flipped a coin since I have no idea who either of them are. :) Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

  118. Either Walter or Peter bishop or one of the Winchesters, possibly John Locke FOR THE WIN

  119. My favourites are Walter and Peter Bishop, Jack Baeur and John Locke

  122. Although I'm kinda surprised that Ned Stark from Game of Thrones didn't make it, I really enjoyed Sean Bean's portrayal of him.

  123. It never sent me a thing to get in in my email.  I finally gave up.
