Yeah, that wold be... unexpected at least :PP But I must say, I am really reallu cheering for Jack. It would be cool to get my prediction correct, but I am cherring for him more becasue I want him to win rather than wanting myself to win :PP

Ya, me too. Only thing is, I'm finding it much harder to find funny, weird, totally impossible final match-ups like I saw in the episode cup. :lol:

Yeah, I think that's because it's easier for people to remember characters rather than episodes. Also, even if some people are not predicting, but just simply picking their own favorite characters, the results could be the same as if they were predicting.

That's true. Unless somebody has a VERY unique opinion about their favourite characters, then they'll usually get most of them right, especially a lot of the first round match-ups. For example, unless you for some reason like Lennon over Sawyer, then even if you pick Sawyer just as your favourite, you get that match-up.

Sawyers uneventful season 6 will be the reason for his 'surprise departure'.

Cheers for the info dark. I'm surprised Charlie v MIB is a close encounter seeing as season 6 was mainly dominated by the MIB.

Cheers for the info dark, I was really looking for information like that!

I am very surprised Penny vs Vincent is a close matchup, what the hell. I never understood people's idea of ranking Vincent above characters, I don't even think about it! Also, I am surprised that Eko vs. Frank is a close one :|

I know what you mean re: Vincent, but I chose him because I know how much some people like him. Plus Vincent choked a lot of people up in the last scene of the show, so I have a feeling he might beat out Penny.

I actually thought the Eko/Frank match-up was a tough call (not sure if you're surprised because you're a fan of Eko or Frank). I personally like Eko more but with Frank being in the last three seasons, and being a comic relief, he might collect a good number of votes.

I feel the same way. I went back and forth a couple of times trying to decide on that match...I do think that it will be VERY close. I think a lot of people will want to see a Penny/Desmond match in round two. It can go either way. I went with Penny, but if I could change it now I probably would.

I can't believe Penny vs. Vincent is so close. Sure, Vincent is cool, but he's still just a dog. And Penny is one of the only female characters who doesn't annoy me.

None of these really shock me. I can understand Penny vs. Vincent being close because Vincent has been there the entire show, so he may get votes just because of that. I chose Penny, though, because I feel Desmond wouldn't have been as great without her.
