  1. I would vote for Dean & Daenerys over any of the other other two... sadly they're both in the same poll.

    I went for Dean in the end, because he's had 7 years more development than the awesome Daenerys has managed. It was a difficult call though...

    ReplyDelete
  2. Dean for me! (Poor Sammy) And I voted Damon, since I loved Boone/Ian.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Dean... and hmm this one's tough... Damon

    ReplyDelete
  4. Easy day. Dean winchester and Damon Salvatore. My two favourite leading males from my two favourite shows :)

    ReplyDelete
  5. Since I´m a little upset with Dean since the last episode, and Dany has Dragons, it was Daenerys for the first pool.

    I went for Damon in the second one because I do sort of like Chuck on GG, but I really don´t like GG. I don´t watch VD regularly but Damon is my favorite Salvatore.

    ReplyDelete
  6. sorry Dany, it's Dean for me today!! and Chuck Bass! :) (I don't see TVD) :P

    ReplyDelete
  7. Daenery and Chuck! I don't watch TVD.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Just Daenerys today. Don't watch TVD or GG.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I was thinking the same thing, I voted for Dean, but Daenerys had a great character development for just one season. I'm really looking forward to the 2nd season of GoT.

    Dean and Damon! But if theres going to be a fight between castiel and dean im gonna vote for cas. I like both almost the same and probably would've voted for dean since he was the main main chacracter overall and didnt go "bad" like cas. But after fridays episode with dean killinng jewel staites character i got pist at him and I think Dean's been kinda evil like since season 6 ending. Just my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Dean!

    and......I'm not watching GG or VD ^^;...I'll go for Chuck ^^;

    ReplyDelete
  12. Dean, even though I am mad at him right now and Damon.

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's the D's today - Dean and Damon.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I voted for Dean... I just sort of have to set aside the insane character assassination from Friday's episode. ...Plus I don't watch GoT

    ReplyDelete
  15. Dean and Damon. Of course. 

    ReplyDelete
  16. Dean, Dany, and Damon.  Haven't figured out which I voting for in the first poll yet, but the second's easy.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Dean and Damon. Alliteration FTW.

    ReplyDelete
  18. It's a "D" day for me. Dean and Damon. It looks like Damon/Chuck is anyone's game at this point, though.

    ReplyDelete
  19. DEEEEAAAAAANNNNN!!!!

    That is all.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Voted for Dean. Don't actually watch Vampire Diaries but voted for Damon as I'm still smarting from Chuck knocking out Olivia and Walter.

    ReplyDelete
  21. OH SNAP. D: The Dean & Dany choice was hard as hell! D-: I've read the books so I know Dany gets even more awesome (if possible!), and as a female, I just gotta give a holler out to a strong female lead. :'D


    Dean is so awesome though. The pain!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Daenerys is a great character but..it's Dean.
    And Damon.Chuck is also fun to watch,but I'm more of a VD fan.I'm sure it'll be close and it can go either way.

    But that's NOTHING compare to what's gonna happen tomorrow.I think I have to make a pros/cons list..Help!  :-(

    ReplyDelete
  23. If it comes down to Dean vs Castiel tomorrow, I'm choosing Castiel no doubt.

    ReplyDelete
  24. It's difficult choosing between Dean and Daenerys but my voe goes to Dean...I don't really like Damon or Chuck but i prefer Damon from those two...

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love Daenerys, but Dean's one of my favorite characters in tvland.
    As for the second poll, I hope Damon bleeds that little bass to death.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Damon and Daenerys, double D

    ReplyDelete
  27. Chuck and Dean!! Love my boys!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Daenerys&Chuck <3 I'm looking forward to 2nd season of GoT and Chuck is as amazing as usual <3 I prefer Stefan BTW.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think TVD is more popular than GG so Damon can win ofcourse but if there is a popular character from GG its definitely Chuck Bass. Globally =) Love him so much <3

    ReplyDelete
  30. Dean and Damon for me. The first because I love Supernatural and everything associated with it, and the second because I really want Chuck Bass to lose.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Just Dean for me today. Even though he pissed me off in the last episode. I don't care about anyone in the other poll.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Any poll with Supernatural's character is pointless. The users of this website are completely biased.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Ok, obviously I'm voting Chuck Bass here and Daenerys here, lol, but they are up against some pretty stiff competition. EEK!

    ReplyDelete
  34. In the first one I went with Dean, in the second I don't know any of the characters but I went with Damon because Ian Somerhalder was a LOST actor so...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Poor Daenerys the Supernatural's curse is on her ! Well I voted for her and Damon anyway :-p
    Sorry Supernatural and Gossip fans but i will be surely the last here not watching these two shows. Not once. Just not interested, really.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I don't watch Vampire Diaries or Gossip Girl, so I'm skipping that one. The other poll was easy as. Dean, naturally! I've never watched that other show,  anyway. I wonder if Cas and Dean are gonna end up against each other... Hm. If they do, I'll still vote for Dean. (Poor Sam. So unloved.)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love Danny but against Dean nobody stands a chance. ;D

    ReplyDelete
  38. as much as I don't like that they're still keeping the "Dean doesn't trust Sam" issue alive, I honestly understand why Dean did what he did in the last episode.
    besides, I believe all his flaws and shockingly bad things he's done over the years are a huge part of what makes him such an interesting character. He might be a hero, but there's no black or white in SPN, and there are no easy choices.

    Daenerys is great, but her growing self confidence and arrogance annoys me. Perhaps I'm just spoiled about the character by the books, but it's getting harder and harder for me to care about her. This, and she's nowhere near Dean in terms of the character's depth.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Dean(!!!) and Damon for me today.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Dean and Damon! even if i realy love Daenerys...

    ReplyDelete
  41. Just Dean for me today. I don't watch the other shows. Though I would assume that Damon would win over Chuck. Vampire Diaries seems to be more popular then Gossip Girl.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Dean and Damon today.  In a couple seasons, my vote in the first poll may easily change but not today.

    ReplyDelete
  43. what???? ohhhh come on, the show is not about Cas... it would never be without Dean and Sam...

    ReplyDelete
  44. evil? that's harsh. You can say many things about Dean, but he's never ever been evil. As much as I love Cas, I'd vote Dean over anyone. He's the best character EVER for me. And plus, Dean is also a huge part of why I fell for Cas in the first place.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Yeah I did the same. Don't watch either of the shows in the second poll but I voted for Ian Somerhalder because I knew him from Lost.
    And the first poll was easy - Dean Winchester all the way!

    ReplyDelete
  46. This poll isn't to rank the most important characters to a show, it's about which characters you like best, which is very subjective.  Tomorrow's going to be fun.  I can hear the arguments now ...

    ReplyDelete
  47. How can we let that punk Bass beat every good character?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Yeah, and I'm avoiding that one like the plague. People are funny.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I've been thinking that the Dean/Cas matchup will be worse than the Dean/Sam matchup because people are going to be questioning whether those who vote for Cas are "true fans" of the show.  The Sam/Dean arguments are pretty tired at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  50. "Fun" is one way to put it! :-p  The Sam vs Dean poll went by smoothly.I'm hoping the same happens tomorrow,but I'm having some doubts..I'm actually expecting it to be worse.
    And I have no idea what's gonna happen as far as the results go.I mean,before the competition,I would say Dean for sure.Right now I'm not so sure about anything.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Any other year I'd say Dean would take it, but this year I'm thinking it's going to be very close.  Cas has gotten many more votes than Dean in every round, but there will be people who jump from Cas to Dean when the two are head-to-head.  Cas fans have something to prove - that Cas is an important part of the show who needs to return.  The Winchester loyalists also have something to prove - that the show is about Sam and Dean and not an angel.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I can't believe Damon is behind Chuck. What is happening!?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Dean always <3
    And Damon :P
    For once I actually love all four in one poll. It was still an easy choice though.
    No one can ever beat Dean.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I had no problem with either.  I do not know the other two characters because I have not had the opportunity to watch the other two shows.  Dean will always be my first choice in any contest.  I am  a major Dean girl.  Damon is okay, but I like the show but am not a massive fan of it.  I like Caroline and Tyler best.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I'm sure that some people who voted for Cas in the previous polls will go with Dean in this one but still,the gap in the votes was huge so far.It only makes sense if some people who voted for Cas didn't vote for Dean.

    I think that I'll stay away from the poll after I vote.I'm sure that what you said is what's gonna happen and there are some things that I've grown tired repeating.Like what you said about the show being about Sam and Dean.No one ever argued and I wouldn't have it any other way,but I still think that Cas is an important part of the show.I don't see why it has to be one or the other!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Dean Wichester & Chuck Bass for me

    ReplyDelete
  57. Dean and Damon today

    ReplyDelete
  58. Chuck & Daenerys

    ReplyDelete
  59. OMG..No it's not possible Chuck vs Damon..it's hard..but i think i choose..................................................................... of course Chuck Bass..

    ReplyDelete
  60. Daenerys and Damon, I like all the characters but I would like to see someone other than Dean and Chuck win all the time!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Dany, I think the journey she has gone on in one short season outstrips Dean, esp atm :P   Can't say I know the other two, so didn't vote :)

    ReplyDelete
  62. Really happy that Dani made it this far on her first year, an applause for her. But I have to go Dean.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Daenerys all the way. I´m so sad to see her going up against Dean, as we all know there is so many Supernatural fans in here. Daenerys is such a strong character with so much development.

    Voted for Damon in the second poll.

    ReplyDelete
  64. kinda worried to be seeing damon loosing to chuck
    i always thought vampire diaries would trump gossip girl easily!!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Khalesi!!!! awwwww

    Chuck Bass my man =) (I don't watch TVD)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Same here. I loved Boone and still adore Ian but I just can't get into Vampire Diaries. And Dean is the clear winner in the other poll for me since it's the only show I love.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I went for Dany over Dean, I just love Dany so much and love her strength, yes Dean did have a longer character arc but Dany's story was just too beautiful and amazing for me. :)

    ReplyDelete
  68. this poll isn't about who the show is about, it's simply about character, there is no rule in saying that just because Dean and Sam are the show that we can't vote for Cas because we love the character more.

    ReplyDelete
  69. It will most likely be Dean vs. Cas and Damon or Chuck vs. Castle at this point, though my vote will be for Cas either way and probably Castle. Though in all honesty Dean will probably win either way.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Dean still is on an interesting and compelling journey although now it's even darker and unpalatable for some people. Doesn't make him any less of an amazing character just because he's doing questionable things. At the moment I'm not finding Dean very likeable but I still think he's one of the best characters on TV and therefore still my favorite. :P

    ReplyDelete
  71. Agree completely, but Dany has still shown more depth of character and been on such an incredible journey in 10 episodes that she beats Dean in many seasons easily for me, sorry.

    Saying that, I think most of my fav characters have been knocked out, there are far better characters on TV atm than who we have left in the comp.  From my pov Jesse or Gus from Breaking Bad, most of Boardwalk Empire and GoT (esp Tyrion and Ayra), Dexter or Debs, The Doctor, Tommy from Rescue Me and Parker from Leverage are all far better than these :P

    ReplyDelete
  72. Lol. You might have a point there:-P but I call it a tiny bit of poetic justice since Spn doesn't get the rating, promotion, budget regognition ect. in the real tv world. (Here in Switzerland we get the dubbed version in TV two or more years after it aired in the US, whereas NCIS, CSI, and all the rest are sometimes barely half a season behind.)

    ReplyDelete
  73. Haha - Dean is gonna walk this!!! :)

    ReplyDelete
  74. Dean of course. and although I don't watch VD or Gossip Girl, I went for Damon. 

    ReplyDelete
  75. If by 'biased' you mean we love Supernatural and have watched since the beginning and seen the brothers grow and witnessed everything they've been through over the last 6 years, then yes I suppose we are! And happy to be! :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. We wait ages here in the UK too - I watch Supernatural online otherwise I'd be only halfway through Season 6 by now. :(

    ReplyDelete
  77. LOL 'dislike' - Dean all the way!!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Dean and Damon. They're who I put in my final two.
    I do love Chuck but since I stopped watching gossip girl a couple of seasons ago I'm not going to vote for him. If the writers hadn't made the show and the characters so horrible in the last season then I probably would have voted for him. I am kind of surprised he is winning..

    ReplyDelete
  79. Hear hear, totally agree!! I like Cas, but him getting more votes than Dean is insane. A lot of Cas fans have become anti-Sam & Dean. But they could never have been true SPN fans in the first place in my opinion. SPN IS the Winchester Brothers!!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I get what you say about Dean, in the end I still love him but it made me really upset to see him kill Amy.
    And I´m currently reading the first book (I hope to have finish the second by the time the second season airs) and I must say, Dany is much more fun on the show. (I found it strange that I didn´t care so much for Jon Snow on the show and I love him on the book and I loved every part of Dany's on the show but I´m not loving them on the book)

    ReplyDelete
  81. ehm, Dany has more depth than Dean? excuse me, how many seasons of SPN have you seen? I love GoT, but in no way has Dany more character depth than Dean.

    ReplyDelete
  82. The Day of the D's: Dean and Damon. 
    Dean is and will always be my favorite character with Damon coming second, on a tie-in with Katherine Pierce. 

    ReplyDelete
  83. I went with Dean, he's been seven years on tv.. And it was really difficult to choose between Damon and Chuck.. Damon is in my opinion al little bit much reckless than Chuck so that's why I went with Chuck and his chemistry with Blair helped his case as well..

    ReplyDelete
  84. I've seen all of them, but tbh it's a light hearted/relief show for me that I watch with a mate.  My personal tastes are more how I've described above, so for me Dany's character has been far more moving and meaningful to me.  

    It's just an opinion :)

    ReplyDelete
  85. Castiel is not even on the show

    ReplyDelete
  86. Oh yea he's a great character, wonderful he has a trenchcoat and everything snore.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Why are you making a generalization that lots of Cas fans are anti-Sam & Dean? That's hardly fair. I think many of people are forgetting that even before Castiel appeared, there were 'brother wars' and Dean!girls were accused of hating Sam and vice versa. We're allowed to have a favorite character. It doesn't mean we hate the other characters, come on. Castiel is my favorite character but that doesn't mean I think he should be the focus of the show.

    I don't understand the elitist attitude that people have, labeling certain fans as NOT TRUE FANS. Belittling comments like these just motivate people to support Castiel even more.

    tl;dr this post probably belongs on tomorrow's poll but I think I'll try to avoid the drama. I voted for Dean today, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  88. you know what, i thought the same thing about the second poll because i really can't understand why chuck bass is so popular... beats me! i didn't know he had so many fans and i can't fathomn the reason!!! but then i thought that if he'd beaten walter and, most importantly, the dunhamnator, he'd better win this effing competition, because otherwise it would be too painful!!!! walter and olivia can't just be outvoted by a mr. nobody!!!!! so i'm going to vote for him and i expect him to win... :'(

    ReplyDelete
  89. I'm honestly shocked at how many votes Chuck Bass has. I thought it would be an easy win for Damon.. guess not. I still think Damon will catch up eventually and beat him, though.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Ok why is everybody accually surprise Dean iced the girl.
    Everything they let go in the past either came back the next season in hurt them more.
    Sam told Dean trust me before with(Ruby) in then boom the apacalypse happen, all Supernatural things on the show no matter how cute in nice they are now can not be trusted.

    In the girl was killing people so no thats not right in my book.
    In people should not take it out on Dean so much hes damage but still a amazing charector.
    Hes been threw so much hell losing people he loved over again being lied to, in people have the nerves to question in call him evil.
    Shit the world is evil not him both boys at the moment is sacred in the audience is just going to have to let them find there way out of it.

    If you come back from eith half they stuff they dealt with whould you be normal?


     

    ReplyDelete
  91. It's not that - I can understand why he killed her, and I know his character is getting tougher which is totally fitting after six years of what he's been through... what didn't sit right with me was Dean's reaction when the kid came in? He's never been like that before, and though a killer, the kid is still just a kid!! When Dean first saw him in the doorway I was holding my breath wondering what he was going to do, but the lack of remourse really shocked me! I don't like Dean any less though, I never could. 

    ReplyDelete
  92. I actually plan to vote for Cas. I was just making an observation about the competition.

    ReplyDelete
  93. It´s looking better for Damon....hope he beats Chuck!

    So sad that Dany has to drop out. :-(  Love her character!

    ReplyDelete
  94. How is Chuck winning? Where are the legions of rabid Gossip Girls fans on the site? Silent but strong masses? I was under the impression that the Supernatural and TVD fandoms were our strongest.

    Also, Dany? Please lol? I like Dean a lot, don't get me wrong, but also A) someone that isn't from SPN and B) DRAGONS.

    ReplyDelete
  95. But if you go back before the show cut to credits in look at Deans reaction when he looked into the room again at the boy he did show remorse. In im pretty sure Dean knows in his heart he got issues, but he need to take that next step with episode 4.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I've never watched supernatural but I voted for Dean 'cause I've never heard of the other character in his poll. & of course I voted for Damon 'cause he is awesome :)

    ReplyDelete
  97. Voted for Dean and Damon...Two very HOT and talented men!!!

    ReplyDelete
  98. Dean always ;)  and Damon !

    ReplyDelete
  99. Chuck Dean and will vote .. sorry damon

    ReplyDelete
  100. I voted for Dany and Damon even if i don't watch TVD. I still can't believe Chuck won against Walter AND Olivia!

    ReplyDelete
  101. Dean and Damon! but poor Dany and Chuck! .... :( 

    ReplyDelete
  102. Have NO idea who to vote for in the first poll because they're both great.

    Have NO idea who to vote for in the second poll either because I dislike them both.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Damon Salvatore

    ReplyDelete
  104. Daenerys Targaryen and damon.Last week would vote for Dean. But after the latest ep never again. and why is my text more bold ?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Give things a chance to play out. All characters in Supernatural have done questionable things and have been redeemed later. I found the scene chilling but Amy was a MONSTER who KILLED people no matter how sympathetic they made her. Madison was a 'good' werewolf to but they had to kill her to stop her killing again. Lenore was a 'good' vampire who they let go but she ended up killing again. Dean is doing his job of a hunter same as always only now the show is making us see the other side of the hunt. All the monsters any hunter in the world have ever killed could have back stories like Amy's, most could have children but because we haven't seen their side before we've been on the side of the Winchester's until now. It's a shame all guilt comes down on Dean for it when the fact is all hunters kill monsters because whether good or bad it's their instinct to kill humans it's been the whole premise of the show. 

    ReplyDelete
  106. Rabia Salvatore here! my Facebook login has been acting up and works sometimes so i'm using my yahoo after like 5 years. I am really surprised that Chuck has so many votes, who would have though chuck vs damon would have the most votes so far? Voted for Damon because though he's evil he's still awesome. However I do enjoy watching Chuck Bass too because he has been through so much and has very bad coping mechanisms. His whole life his father disliked him because his mother died, then his father dies and he is always trying to achieve something that will make his father proud. He doesn't really know how to have a healthy relationship because his own relationship with his family was so messed up. Blair was the only one that got through to him but he has always been self destructive so that didn't work out either. His recent antics are annoying me but hopefully the story line makes sense. Would also like to see him as a father, maybe that will force him to clean up his act. Voted Dean because he's awesome and it would take too long to write about it...

    ReplyDelete
  107. Thanks for explaining what makes Chuck interesting, after seeing him beat two of my favorite characters I still had no idea who this guy was.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Dean Winchester or Damon Salvatore.....damn idk there both so hot!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  109. Yeah I agree with that - Dean keeps it all locked in and has to stay strong all the time, he may well be falling apart inside! Oh S7 is gonna break my heart isn't it!? :/

    ReplyDelete
  110. I know she was a monster and all but she fought this monster inside of her. I didnt like how they made it look like dean can do evrything. He would do the same thing for sam again and again. But there would be no one judging him.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Have NO idea who to vote for in the first poll because they're both great.

    Have NO idea who to vote for in the second poll either because I dislike them both.
