Here it is, the official full list of the 64 TV Shows to take part in May Madness IV The top 3 spots in each grouping were automatically given to shows that have won a prior May Madness 1st, Best Of TV Awards Show winners 2nd, going by most current, then total awards, then New Program winners. Spots 4 thru 16 were selected by you the fans by a vote. The top 8 vote getters in each group were given a spot, as were the top 12 vote totals after the top 8 in each group were removed.

Round 4 & 5 of May Madness ended & the results of the battles are as follows for TV Shows. Round 4 (THE ELITE EIGHT) (3) Lost Girl 777-417 (1) Supernatural (2) Once Upon A Time 264-126 (5) Doctor Who (1) Castle 254-128 (2) The Waking Dead (1) Arrow 275-114 (3) Game Of Thrones Largest round 4 vote total - 777 Lost Girl Smallest Round 4 vote total - 114 Game Of Thrones Largest Magin of Victory - 360 Lost Girl over Supernatural Smallest Margin of victory -128 Castle over The Walking Dead Of all the awards Supernatural has obtained from our site, 1 thing they dont have. A May Madness TV Show championship. Well, it wont happen this year. Two voting goliaths faced off and only 1 came out alive. Lost Girl beat SPN, and quite convincingly. No other seeding upsets this round. I did expect more kick from Game Of Thrones and Doctor Who to be honest. But in the end, the winners never really shocked me too much. Round 5 (THE FINAL FOUR)
(3) Lost Girl [852-56] 796-245 (2) Once Upon A Time (1) Arrow 482-396 (1) Castle Largest vote total in round 5 - 796 Lost Girl Smallest vote total in round 5 - 245 Once Upon A Time Largest Margin of Victory in round 5 - 551 Lost Girl over Once Upon A Time Smallest margin of victory in round 5 - 86 Arrow over Castle As I also stated in the TV Character blog for these rounds, why try cheating people? You know I am going to catch you if you do it too much, and whats it get you? A win on a website that is on the outer fringe of the outer circle of sites some TV people might cross paths with? So the aggressive spammer from China who tried so hard to inflate Lost Girl's numbers. Dont bother (even though I see you also tried in the finals too) your votes are voided. Like with the character polls, I did not suspend any entrant over this because it was clear that they were going to stil win even without the interference. IF a result is TOO CLOSE in the finals though after the obvious fake votes are elimiated. I might take different actions then. The finals just ended last night. Results for those will be posted later today. Round 2 & 3 of May Madness III is in the books & the results of the battles are as follows for TV Shows match ups (1) Supernatural 171-130 (9) Chicago Fire (2) Orphan Black 256-50 (7) Continuum (3) Lost Girl 437-67 (6) Sleepy Hollow (4) Haven 105-77 (5) Hannibal (1) The Big Bang Theory 127-77 (9) 2 Broke Girls (2) Once Upon A Time 178- 59 (10) Modern Family (5) Doctor Who 238-93 (4) The Mentalist (6) Grey's Anatomy 103-97 (3) Criminal Minds (1) Castle 231-94 (8) Person of Interest (2) The Walking Dead 200-109 (10) Breaking Bad (4) Psych 142-78 (6) Community (6) NCIS 130-71 (14) Bates Motel (1) Arrow 132-129 (8) Almost Human (3) Game Of Thrones 207-45 (6) The Blacklist (4) Sherlock 299-78 (5) Elementary (7) Bones 136-105 (2) Dexter Most votes in round 2 - 437 Lost Girl Least votes in round 2 - 45 The Blacklist Largest margin of Victory - 370 Lost Girl over Sleepy Hollow Smallest margin of victory - 3 Arrow over Almost Human Having all 4 #1 seeds make it to round 3 might seem expected, but this years tournament has thrown a few shockers at me, so I wasnt expecting anything. 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. Round 1 of May Madness III is in the books & the results of the battles are as follows
(1) Supernatural 314-63 (16) Davinci's Demons (2) Orphan Black 228-138 (15) Family Guy (3) Lost Girl 84-40 (14) The 100 (4) Haven 80-38 (13) Teen Wolf (5) Hannibal 304-86 (12) Falling Skies (6) Sleepy Hollow 173-81 (11) American Horror Story (7) Continuum 41-30 (10) The Newsroom (9) Chicago Fire 47-36 (8) Burn Notice (1) The Big Bang Theory 340-62 (16) Trophy Wife (2) Once Upon A Time 326-37 (15) Once Upon A Time In Wonderland (3) Criminal Minds 86-43 (14) The Simpsons (4) The Mentalist 72-59 (13) New Girl (5) Doctor Who 274-34 (12) Defiance (6) Grey's Anatomy 123-36 (11) The Goldbergs (9) 2 Broke Girls 59-43 (8) Brookyln Nine-Nine (10) Modern Family 60-52 (7) How I Met Your Mother (1) Castle 322-71 (16) Mad Men (2) The Walking Dead 256-97 (15) Archer (4) Community 61-46 (13) True Detective (5) Psych 107-101 (12) The Originals (6) NCIS 104-61 (11) The Killing (8) Person Of Interest 85-34 (9) The Vampire Diaries (10) Breaking Bad 79-45 (7) Hawaii Five-O (14) Bates Motel 53-49 (3) Beauty And The Beast (1) Arrow 326-47 (16) King & Maxwell (2) Dexter 216-122 (15) The Following (3) Game Of Thrones 127-28 (14) Vikings (4) Sherlock 119-53 (13) Parks And Recreation (5) Elementary 192-42 (12) Sons Of Anarchy (6) The Blacklist 170-63 (11) Glee (7) Bones 111-33 (10) The Tomorrow People (8) Almost Human 77-68 (9) Downton Abbey As expected, all 4 # 1 seeds advanced. 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. Starting now the nominations for the 3rd May Madness are under way. The rules for this year. After a fun twist last year that included former shows & characters as well, we are going back to the original format. Only current day shows & characters. To be eligible, a show or character must have aired/been in AT LEAST 1 episode since last May Madness started on May 10, 2013. As with past years, all previous May Madness winners & finalists, any Best Of TV Awards winners that are still currently on the air are automatically selected for the tournament. Here is the list of automatic contenders TV SHOWS - Arrow - Castle - Dexter - Lost Girl - Once Upon A Time - Orphan Black - Supernatural - The Big Bang Theory - The Walking Dead TV CHARACTERS - Dean Winchester (Supernatural) - Kevin Tran (Supernatural) - Charlie Bradbury (Supernatural) - Benny (Supernatural) - Crowley (Supernatural) - Malcolm Merlyn (Arrow) - Kurt Hummel (Glee) - Kate Beckett (Castle) - Richard Castle (Castle) - Dr. Lauren Lewis (Lost Girl) - Penny (The Big Bang Theory) - Amy Farrah Fowler (The Big Bang Theory) - Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory) - Peter Pan (Once Upon A Time) - Emma Swan (Once Upon A Time) - Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead) - Arya Stark (Game Of Thrones) - Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother) Nominations are simple. Nominate who you want (that are eligible) and if there is more nominations in the end than there are spots available (64 in each tournament) there will be a series of vote offs to pick the May Madness contenders. Last year had approximately 250 characters & 200 shows vie for the left over spots. Of course, with the rules tightening back up to just current shows & characters, those numbers should in theory come down substantially this year. Once someone has been nominated ONCE, they DO NOT need to be nominated again. So try to avoid nominating people already nominated by others. EDIT - April 6, 2014 Nominations ARE NOW CLOSED! Complete list of nominees will be released soon, approximately mid-April |
