Outlander consigned Dexter to the lowest finish in the competition this year with an annihilation in the first round. It has had consecutive fifth-place finishes in the past two years having won in 2014 and remains dangerous. But this is one serious contest today. It's easily the most exciting poll of the competition so far, as 2012 winner Castle takes on the Starz series. It has crashed out in the first round in the past two years but having overcome Doctor Who already, here lies the opportunity to remind everyone that it can still perform in this competition.
The Vampire Diaries broke its streak of four straight round one exits by beating The Bold Type. It has never finished anywhere between 5th and 32nd — meaning The CW series has either made the semi-final or fallen at the first hurdle. Today it faces Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which has also never finished below third — although it has the slightly smaller sample size of just one appearance, last year. This will be a much bigger challenge than its victory over NCIS: Los Angeles in round one.
