The Winner of the 2014 Best Of TV Award for Favorite TV Character is.... Felicity Smoak "Arrow" After 4 years of Dean Winchester from "Supernatural" as the pollsters Favorite Character, we have a new winner. Felicity Smoak (played by Emily Bett Rickards) "Arrow" won the honour this year with a new record 1,340 votes, surpassing the old record from 2011 of 1165 by Dean Winchester. Her margin of victor of 318 is also a new record, breaking the record of 186 from last year by Dean Winchester. Ms. Smoak has had an interesting year. She had her crush tell her he loves her, was used to help her crush/boss take down Deathstroke, and got a new boss at her day job. Felicity has certainly become a fan favorite in the short time of the show. This was the 2nd year felicity was in the finals, finishing 4th last year & showing she might be a force to be reckoned with someday. Runner up this year goes to Kenzi from "Lost Girl" with 1,022 votes. This is the 3rd year in a row that someone from the show was runner up, after 2 consecutive years of Lauren Lewis being there the fans opted this time to choose a character that died this past year on the show. Last year Kenzi was 14th. After 4 consecutive awards, Dean Winchester "Supernatural" finishes in an unfamiliar 3rd with 822 votes. In 4th is Bo Dennis "Lost Girl" 786, up from the 7th place she was last year. In 5th was Richard Castle "Castle" with 779, the characters highest ever finish was 13th last year. In 6th was Oliver Queen/Arrow "Arrow" up from lat years 11th place finish. In 7th was Kate Beckett "Castle" which is a sharp rise from the 19th she placed last year.

Sam Winchester was 12th, dropping from his 5th place spot last year. While Castiel "Supernatural" last years 3rd place finalist, and the only person besides Dean Winchester to be on the top 5 list every yead, dropped all the way to 13th this year. Kurt Hummel slipped to 14th this year after being 10th last year. Emma Swan "Once Upon A Time" in 24th returns to the finals for the 1st time since 2012.

A series of run off polls took place, with results set to give those who had the best results in the 1st round of polls the best chance at a spot in the run off votes, while still giving those who didnt do as well in the 1st round of polls a chance still at a spot in the tournament. 15 shows have more than 1 challenger, with Supernatural having 7 & Once Upon A Time having 4. 23 spots are taken by characters that are on shows which have ended, or are currently in limbo. Soon, 32 of these names will be eliminated. Voting has begun, the first group of 8 match ups in TV Shows, and TV characters are here http://canadagraphs.weebly.com/tv-showdowns---show-vs-show-character-vs-character-battle.html for you to vote on. Below are the results from the voting on the nominees that decided the challengers in this tournament that did not get automatic spots (automatic spots were given to all BOTVA award winners & former May Madness winners) The Favorite TV Character of 2012 as voted by you the fans was.. DEAN WINCHESTER "SUPERNATURAL".
The 1st 3 time award winner... Dean Winchester. For the 3rd time in a row, Dean beat the competition like they were a Leviathan or a demon. As the sharp tongued world saving older brother of the bad everything fighting Winchester Brothers overcomes everything again this year...including a vacation in Purgatory. For the 3rd straight time, a different runner up. This time "Lost Girl" Dr. Lauren Lewis provided the closest challenge to date only 32 votes back. Another Lost Girl, the succubus Bo took the last spot on the podium, beating out another SPN star, angel Castiel. In the final season of their show "Leverage" the slightly crazy thief Parker finishes 5th. Crime writer turned fighter Richard Castle inches up 1 spot this year to 6th, beating 2010 finalist the murderous Dexter Morgan for 7th. Part of the world saving team from "Fringe" Peter Bishop took 8th, while 9th & 10th were "Psych" crime fighters Burton Guster & Carlton Lassiter. Dean Winchester beat runner up Dr. Lauren Lewis by 32 votes, 3rd "Lost Girl" Bo was 90 behind 2nd and 38 votes ahead of 4th place Castiel from "Supernatural". 5th place Parker from "Leverage" finished a mere 7 votes out of 4th Dean Winchester scores a hat trick. 3 years in a row for the Supernatural older brother. There have only been 3 characters to be in the finals all 3 years (of course only 10 finalists this year limited the amount of repeats). Dean & Castiel from SPN & Parker from "Leverage" are the only 3 time finalists, and with Leverage ending... there is no way to have all 3 of them next year. "Fringe" has managed a finalist in each of the years, with Walter Bishop in 2010, Olivia Dunham, Walter & Peter Bishop in 2011, and of course Peter again this year. They will have 1 more chance next year. Dexter Morgan of "Dexter" becomes the 1st nominee to be in the 1st year, miss a year, and come back again. Final vote totals Dean Winchester "Supernatural" 374 Dr. Lauren Lewis "Lost Girl" 342 Bo "Lost Girl" 252 Castiel "Supernatural" 214 Parker "Leverage" 207 Richard Castle "Castle" 131 Dexter Morgan "Dexter" 125 Peter Bishop "Fringe" 95 Burton Guster "Psych" 77 Carlton Lassiter "Psych" 72 |
