DAY 16! (Results from yesterday can be found here.)
It's the semi-finals today. We're almost at the final hurdle. Four episodes remain, but which one will triumph?
The rules are as follows:
1. Two episodes go head to head for 24 hours. The episode that emerges as winner will go through to the next round.
2. Vote for your favourite episode, and tell us what you voted for.
3. Tell others about the competition.
4. Be respectful. This is a competition, but be friendly.
An all-seeded affair sees The Mentalist's 'Blue Bird' take on Game of Thrones' 'The Rains of Castamere'. The other semi-final, an all-non-seeded affair, sees two Beauty and the Beast episodes go face-to-face: 'Catch Me If You Can' takes on 'About Last Night'. All three shows have large fanbases on the site. This will be interesting.
Make sure to tell us who you voted for in the comments, along with who you think will make it through to tomorrow's final.
The draw:
Don’t forget to share the poll; the more people vote, the more chance your episode has of winning!
Check back on Tuesday for THE FINAL!
Just Game of Thrones today!
ReplyDeleteThe Mentalist!!!
ReplyDeleteI don´t care for BatB but I think they will win like they always do :(
Boring. Boo. No shows for me. Not my favorite GoT episode but it's the only one I'd vote for.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a "fan favorite" poll. Nothing to win here.
ReplyDeleteI know...but is always the same...
ReplyDeleteAnd I know it´s the same with TM...we are always in it too and we always loose against BatB :)
Just take comfort in the fact you know YOUR favorite and it doesn't need random poll validation. I've never watched TM but I think I need to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThe Mentalist <333
ReplyDeleteI watch&like GoT too but TM will always be my first choice :D
You should but I am not very objectiv about this subject.
ReplyDeleteIt really depends on what you normally like watching on TV :)
Only Game Of Thrones , although i don't think it will stand a chance against the Mentalist.
ReplyDeleteAt least you're honest! I've read a lot of good things but my TV schedule was so full, I just never started. My OCD says I have to watch from the beginning. So that I will do. I almost watched the Red John episode as a stand alone because I read it was amazing TV.
ReplyDeleteLose
ReplyDeleteJust Game of Thrones!
ReplyDeleteGoT
ReplyDeleteAnd only 2 years ago everyone said the said about Supernatural. Next year it will be some other show..
ReplyDeleteI voted for The Mentalist - Blue Bird, and Beauty and the Beast - About Last Night.
ReplyDeleteUgh, how boring, all my shows are out.
ReplyDeleteI loved Blue Bird but in this case there is no competition. the Rains of Castamere is a whole different level
ReplyDeleteMost episodes can be watched as a stand alone ep but to understand everything (esp. about RJ) you should watch from the beginning. It´s a very well acted show with good storys and a good balance between funny and serious episodes.
ReplyDeleteI am a Simon Baker Fan so I have to say that but I think you can see that he had much to say about how to act as Patrick Jane and you can see that he was free to do what he wanted in most scenes without anyone trying to press him into a given role ( sorry I am not a nativ english speaker and it is hard to explain what is in my mind) :) And the chemistry between the cast was great from the beginning and you can see that. For me it´s an important part to like a show or not.
lol That´s much more as I wanted to say :)
Game of Thrones the moral winner.
ReplyDeleteI love both episodes of Beauty and the Beast...can't believe they are going up against each other, this stinks!
ReplyDeleteLove BATB, but GoT is truly epic. Read all of the books many years ago, and the series has not been a disappointment…
ReplyDeleteSo for me right now, it's About Last Night and GoT
Yes, it does stink.
ReplyDeleteBoth The Mentalist Episodes where up against each other in the last round and also both Castle eps before so nothing stinks here!
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones today. Which likely means I'm out as I don't watch Mentalist and never got into Beauty and the Beast
ReplyDeleteBatB against BatB? About Last Night because Vincent and Cat finds their way back to each other.
ReplyDeleteHey, we dont always win. I'm just happy both our shows got another season. A short one for BatB fans, but still, a season. Good luck tomorrow, looks like we will be up against each other. BatB season finale tomorrow, so a lot of fans will be trending on twitter. Hopefully, we can multi task LOL
ReplyDeleteFor me it does because I love both BATB episodes and I don't want to choose between them!
ReplyDeleteTrue...
ReplyDelete#BATB is the best TV series ever. That is why it has such a great fan base. Great cast and crew and writers. And we are a dedicated fan base.
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones
ReplyDeleteI think they had to do this so it wouldn't be an all #BATB final. Not sure that is right but if it is then they also decide who wins.
ReplyDeleteWho do you think 'they are' that decides who wins?
ReplyDeleteLoL!
ReplyDeleteOnly Game of Thrones...
ReplyDeletewhoever is hosting this contest..
ReplyDeleteYour so wrong! The only person that decide who wins are the voters,meaning YOU! The Episode that gets the most votes win,period end of story. Why are batb fans always so suspicious when it comes to polls here. Do you honestly think the person running this is going to manipulate the outcome?
ReplyDeleteMy final four, in no particular order:
ReplyDeleteGame of Thrones "The Rains of Castamere"
The Walking Dead "The Grove"
True Detective "Who Goes There"
The Americans "Echo"
Runners up: Sleepy Hollow "Bad Blood", Person of Interest "Deus ex Machina", Agents of SHIELD "Turn, Turn, Turn"
These 8 episodes, were the best i watched from June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014. A year that had a lot of amazing television.
A special mentions to:
Rectify "Drip, Drip" - Season 1 ended May 2013, and season two started in mid June 2014. So all of it's episodes, miss the poll this year.
Les Revenants "Camile" - Though it broadcasted in the States, in the fall 2013; it originally broadcasted in France, in the fall 2012.
Not getting into a argument about this. Sure I am a devoted #BATB fan and regardless of this I have a right to my opinion. If you think I am wrong well that is your opinion and I respect that.. And you know what? It isn't just the #BATB fans who are suspicious think you should read more comments and you'll see I am not the first to voice this opinion. Sorry if I have offended you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of your choices. I think I'm going to do my final four and honorable mentions. This is a fun way for fans to choose their own if they have no choice here. Now I have to narrow down my favorites.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree.
ReplyDeleteeven if they wasn't up against each other , a BATB final couldn't of been guaranteed anything can knock out anything. Other shows have a dedicated fan base too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Mentalist and GOT fans. See you at the final tomorrow
ReplyDeleteActually it has a lot of fans because... it has a lot of fans. Popularity doesn't necessarily equal quality (and I don't mean just for TV), it just means it appeals to a lot of people.
ReplyDelete[X-files theme song begins]
ReplyDeleteNah, the only ones who decide who wins are the people voting in these polls. There were some basic rules for the draws that were stated on the first day but that's all. And BatB isn't the only show that, at some point in this competition, had to compete against itself.
ReplyDeleteAw man. Blue Bird and The Rains of Castamere are both great episodes, albeit in very different ways... In the end I went with the one that made me feel happy (Blue Bird), not the one that crushed my soul, but I'd have voted for both if I could.
ReplyDeleteI also loved both The Mentalist episodes but we have to deal with the choice Spoiler TV made to compete the episodes against each other...
ReplyDeleteLOL Beauty and the beast vs Beauty and the beast.... Good one there xD..
ReplyDeleteJust GoT for me... but it's loosing
This is how it came out in the draw. There is no conspiracy going on. Both BatB episodes just happened to be on the same half of the draw.
ReplyDeleteBradley,when does this poll close? tomorrow and about what time?
ReplyDeleteTomorrow at 12pm ET. So 15 hours and 21 minutes from now :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) Now lets go see if we can make this a competition!
ReplyDeleteI know.
ReplyDeleteThrowing my vote to Game of Thrones. Mostly because I've seen more of the other two shows and didn't care for them.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a wonderfully made episode that spoke volumes for the series but it wasn't my favorite. The desolate doom and gloom of a lot of my favorite series, is starting to wear on me!
ReplyDeleteI predict that BATB win the entire competition........
ReplyDeletethank you Rob, didn't mean to start a debate here Just feel that is what is happening. Everyone is allowed their own opinions and like I said before I do respect that. Just wish they would respect my opinion too.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, One never knows
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to see Rectify in the polls, such a great show! But it would never have gotten through the first poll, because there aren´t enough fans in here. Shame really, it is some of the best acting I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteRectify wouldn't have actually counted, as no episodes aired inside the period for episodes to be nominated (1st June 2013 - 31st May 2014).
ReplyDeleteNo opinion necessary here, there was no conspiracy to potentially end up with these two episodes facing each other in the semi-finals. In fact, it wasn't until I was putting the QF results onto the draw spreadsheet that I noticed they would be facing each other today. Just the luck of the draw.
ReplyDeleteTwo, amazing episodes of Beauty & the Beast, but between the two I choose About Last Night!!!!
ReplyDeleteTheir is no debate , you have your opinion others have there's (including myself). Everyone is entitled to an opinion and i respect their that.
ReplyDeleteThat´s what I mean :)
ReplyDeleteI like and watch all the remaining shows. But if I have to pick BATB appeals more to me. And I loved both episodes
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know, that´s why I didn´t nominate it. Maybe next year. :-)
ReplyDeleteVoted GoT and it's losing? :0 To The Mentalist ?????!!!!! What is happening here :(
ReplyDeleteBlue Bird was possibly the worst, most predictable episode of The Mentalist... in my opinion at least
ReplyDelete#BATB Happy to be able to make you laugh Ralph. Although I believe my comment to be true in my opinion, you are allowed to have your own opinion. Ergo the sarcasm in your reply. I do believe we live in a country where we have freedom of speech.
ReplyDeleteLowest common denominator being lowest common denominator
ReplyDeleteThe Mentalist is really big around here, and while I like it I agree.
ReplyDeleteI do not think that batb it's the best show ever -- even though i'm a huge fan ( i won't hide it ) .. but by my humble oppinion the first couple of episodes were the worse ones ... season 2 it's 'levels' up ?! ... I want to say is a whole lot better - season two it's like a different show really .. especially from 2x15 to 2x22 .. just thought i should point that out ...( sorry for any mistakes ;) -- english is not my 'mother language' )
ReplyDeleteSo the final is shipping fandom vs. shipping fandom? Not interested.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteYou have the right to think so and I have the right not agree with it ;)
