f_march_madness Office Pool entry is up, so last night I spent some time making my predictions. I realized I had two sets - one chart for who I thought fandom was going to push through and a chart for who I wanted to win.
Chart the First:
The above chart is how I think fandom is going to vote. I had a look at how many people were voting in certain categories and tried to make guesses based on fandom popularity, which is difficult as I've been out of fandom for... well.. a while. Based on the craziness of its fans, I think Dean Winchester is going to crush the competition and win. That is, if the fans of the OTHER fandoms don't all pool together and vote against him as there seems to be a huge anti-Winchester segment. But then, I also have Dean vs. Damon Salvatore, which could be interesting as the Vampire Diaries fans seem nearly as enthusiastic, shall we say, as Twilight fans, except for the fact that no ambulances had to be called to the Hot Topic appearances.
I am not sure how I have Liz Lemon winning the left side brackets, but somehow I do. Could be the popularity of both 30 Rock and Tina Fey. I could be wrong and Chuck could sweep the whole thing.
Chart the Second:
This is how I would like the voting to go. I'm sure it won't. Clearly, I want Eric Northman to win. I know, right? Out of everyone in the right bracket, I love Eric the best. Somehow. Don't ask, it's not rational! I mean, I have him beating MAL, but I also have Mal beating Kara, so that's already wrong, I'm sure.
In my mind, we'll get a Barney Stinson & Jon Stewart face-off for the Comedy bracket, with Stewart winning because, let's face it - he was suiting up for TV before Barney. And he's less of a jerk. Sydney Bristow wins the Drama bracket because Daddy!Bristow has her back, especially against Neal Caffrey. He's not letting his daughter lose to some con artist punk. One oversight, I feel, is that Burn Notice wasn't in this year's prelims. In that case, I'd have wanted Michael Westen to make it through the drama bracket.. and beat Jon Stewart. Then it would be a tough call between Michael and Eric... I'd probably still pick Eric.
While filling out the brackets on the right side, I discovered some pretty awesome crossover pairings. Pacy Witter/Maria DeLuca would be sort of awesome (teenage snark ftw!), but not nearly as awesome as Damon Salvatore/Maria DeLuca. She'd make a kick ass vampire, but either way the snarking and the bickering would be fabulous!
So, over the next few weeks, I'll look forward to seeing how completely wrong both my charts are!
