Hey all,
It's the first huge match-up of the competition today, on just the second day, as two CW series go head-to-head. The Vampire Diaries returns to this competition for the first time since 2014 and now, as an ended show, it is this year's sixth seed. Interestingly, it finished second and fourth, respectively, in the first two iterations but then slumped to first round exits in its three subsequent years. To progress past that for the first time since 2011, TVD must conquer Arrow, a show that has enjoyed plenty of love at times during its run, with a passionate, if occasionally divided, fanbase that one might hope will come together for their show.
Major Crimes, a series that has featured in just the previous two competitions but was a losing semi-finalist in both, then faces Doctor Who, a show that is now 54 years old - likely older than a large portion of its fans on SpoilerTV. It will be very interesting to see if the TNT drama can maintain its success for a third straight year, or if there is enough life in Who to topple it.
A reminder of the rules:
1) Two shows will go into battle in a poll, where after exactly 24 hours, the leading show will win the battle and will progress into the next round. Each poll will open at 12pm ET on a given day.
