The 2011 STV Character Competition - R3 - Day 28 - Damon Salvatore (Vampire Diaries) vs. Dana Scully (The X-Files) & Olivia Dunham (Fringe) vs. Chuck Bass (Gossip Girl)

Hey Guys,

Yesterday saw strong performances by both Richard Castle and Kurt Hummel, as they knocked out Greg House and Elena Gilbert to reach the final eight. Both now have a strong chance to reach the final round, but the victor still has to face one of the four challengers remaining today...

In the first poll today we have Damon Salvatore of The Vampire Diaries taking on The X-Files' Dana Scully in a poll that will see a classic fighting a show that is very current... In the second poll we have Fringe's Olivia Dunham attempting to beat Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass, Bass having eliminated Olivia's co-character Walter Bishop last round. It should be interesting...

Currently leading the prediction competition is JerMd on 74 points, ahead of Amber English on 72. To see your score head HERE

For anyone new to the competition the rules are simple. Every day there will be a new set of polls between characters who are bidding to become the winner of the second STV Character Competition.

All you have to do is to vote for whichever characters are your favourite and at the end of the 24 hours whichever character has more votes will be the winner and will progress into the next round. There are three rounds before the quarter finals, semi finals and then the final...

Don't forget to tweet, facebook, google+ and spread the word about the characters and shows you love to try and boost your chances of winning.

All that is left to say, is let the battles commence...
