Still, looking at the stats this round, its hard to believe based on Arrow's narrow win over a canceled 1 season show, they would get to the finals. This round probably was also the 1st tell tale sign that Supernatural's dominance in all things here was finally waning. Only a 41 vote victory, and being the 3rd highest vote total in their group might have been the 1st sign this was not going to be their year. Biggest upset wasnt even an upset, but more the reality that Arrow won by only 3 votes. Imagine how the brackets would have played out if only 2 people in that match up voted differently. Round 3
(1) Supernatural 621-198 (4) Haven (3) Lost Girl 265-259 (2) Orphan Black (2) Once Upon A Time 200-185 (6) Grey's Anatomy (5) Doctor Who 335-142 (1) The Big Bang Theory (1) Castle 266-93 (5) Psych (2) The Walking Dead 226-173 (6) NCIS (1) Arrow 244-220 (4) Sherlock (3) Game Of Thrones 320-96 (7) Bones Largest Vote total in round 3 - 621 Supernaturaql Smallest vote total in round 3 - 93 Psych Largest margin of victory - 423 Supernatural over Haven Smalles margin of victory - 6 Lost Girl over Orphan Black Scratch everything I said about round 2. In round 3 Supernatural reclaimed their dominance that they seemed to be lacking last round. While it was Lost Girl, the show with the largest victory margin last round, limping by into round 4. When I looked the final 8 on paper, I can say it really was a collection of the most popular shows out there more or less. Pretty inteesting though when you look at the finals, the smallest & 3rd smallest margins of victory this round went to those that made it the farthest. Arrow could have been easily elimianted in round 2, Lost Girl in round 3. What would the finals have looked like then? Biggest shock of this round? Maybe that Haven didnt put up more of a fight. They seemed to be a show on the rise with strong performances in the BOTVAs this past year, and here at May Madness. To only amass 198 votes seemed a bit unexpected. Well, onto the Elite 8 for the winners.

As did all the #2 seeds. Highest ranked loser #3 seed "Beauty & The Beast" losing to 14th seeded "Bates Motel" Highest voted total in round 1 - "The Big Bang Theory" with 340 votes. Lowest voted total in round 1 - 28 "Vikings" Largest margin of Victory - 289 "Once Upon A Time" over "Once Upon A Time In Wonderland" Smallest margin of Victory - 4 "Bates Motel" over "Beauty And The Beast" There were not a lot of shocks to me in round 1. Perhaps BatB losing was a mild shock, but not unexpected. One thing these polls always have is the "over hyped" show or character. A select few fans voting furiously in the qualification round where voting is unlimited, then once the restrictions of 1 vote per IP address are implemented, the REAL number of fans rears its ugly head. I was also mildly & pleasantly surprised to see "Almost Human" win its 1st round match against "Downton Abbey". Round 1 Character results will be posted later today. |
