Day one of the competition is completed and we had a strong victory for Katherine Pierce over Richard Cypher sending The Vampire Diaries' first character into round two. In the other, much closer poll Benjamin Linus saw off the tough challenge of a Whedon creation in Willow Rosenberg from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Considering the strength Buffy showed in the recent best show competition it is a good start for the LOST character.
Today sees some of the pre-competition front-runners beginning their run for the title, with Peter Bishop of Fringe challenging Patrick Jane of The Mentalist as well as Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy taking on Walter White of the critically acclaimed Breaking Bad. Can the recently disappeared Bishop Jr. find a way to beat the cunning Jane? Can the acclaimed Walter White find a way to beat the network blockbuster that Meredith Grey headlines?
