  1. Jonathan Turner over Harley, George over Eli. That is all. End of story. Good-bye.

  2. Turner over Harley, Feeney over Eli.

    Turner over Harley was closer for me than it should have been mostly because Harley has been so much more involved in GMW than Turner. Turner was way more important in BMW and ATQ was a better actor, but overall now, Harley is more involved.

    As far as Eli, well, I liked him and Alex is a fine actor, but come on, he got put up against William Daniels. Feeney was, next to Cory, probably the most important character in BMW and Daniels is a multiple Emmy Award winner. Poor Alex got blindsided here.

    1. Fun fact: There's a rumor floating about that the writers are trying to get Eli back. Wonder what they'll do?

    2. Eli works at a news station again. Offers Cory a job that takes him out of Quincy Adams. He has to choose to be a teacher or pursue another career.

    3. Eli is covering some fluff story on a killer roller coaster. Riley and Farkle are the first in line to ride the killer roller coaster. A grumpy Eli asks their names; the minute he hears "Matthews," he asks whether or not they know Cory. Riley recognizes him from Turner's stories and Farkle asks for an autograph. Cue Eli panicking about how Cory and Turner are going to kill him if anything happens to the kids.

    4. They probably don't need anything so convoluted. Eli and Turner are/were best friends, so its not unbelievable that Eli come to NYC to visit Turner and they come over to visit the Matthews clan. I would really like to see him back, and Jacobs has said that he will try to get everyone involved back on GMW if possible.

    5. Of course, Feeny. I'll just go ahead and admit that I have him winning the whole kaboodle in my bracket.

    6. I also had a hard time picking between Turner and Harley. My sister and had a long conversation before hand and we both agreed that Turner was better in BMW while Harley is better in GMW. She wound up voting for Turner because she likes Boy better than Girl. While I went with Harley cause I like an underdog and it's almost a sure thing that Turner with win this round anyway.

      And yeah, Feeny over Eli. Not a fair fight at all. Is this revenge for Eli beating Feeny's wife last round?

    7. Aw, it warms my heart and helps make all the work we put into this worth it to know you and your sister actually like had a real life conversation about who to vote for in this. Thanks for sharing that. Tell your sister she's welcome to chime in!

    8. Well I'm glad I could make your day.
      She and I usually watch the new show together. It, BMW, and The Weekenders are some of the few shows we can agreed on, with me being a Sic-Fi/Fantasy fan and her being more a reality TV type of girl.
      That said I doubt she'll join in. I can ask, but she's not really the kind of person to discuss the media she likes online, if at all.

    9. Does she read the blog at all? Or did you just go like "Hey, there's this poll"?

      Delete
    10. I just went "hey, there's this poll", and I have brought up the blog a few times though before. Oh and the ship wars on tumblr as well. But I don't think she engages with any of the fandom anywhere.
      She just tells me her opinions and picks what time we watch the show since she has the busier schedule.

  3. I wonder how badly Feeny will beat Eli.

  4. Turner over Harley. Feeny over Eli. That's all she wrote.

  5. Let's be real, if anyone votes for Eli over Feeny, it means the actor who played Eli is reading this blog.

  6. From the last updated bracket, Turner got 97% of the vote over Harper. I can see Eli getting some sympathy votes because everyone knows Feeny will win the matchup. I can see 98% maybe even 98%.
