Last Round Results
(1)Tyrion Lannister - 39
(3)Sansa Stark - 6

(1)Jon Snow - 27
(3)Theon Greyjoy - 18

~ Tyrion, once again, had no trouble with his opponent. Sansa Stark-Lannister-(soon to be Baelish) falls in disgraceful fashion.

~ Theon put up a better fight but it still wasn't anywhere near close. Makes one think Varys would have had no trouble with Theon either.

~ 2 of the Final 4 are set to face each other! Tyrion Lannister will square off with Jon Snow. The Imp and the Bastard. With any luck, it will be a good match.

(3)Eddard Stark
(1)Jaime Lannister (Tough choice and a weird one at that as Arya ranks slightly higher on my top ten list than Jaime. While I find Arya's story arc to be one of the most interesting ones in the series, Jaime's character development is astonishing. Plus, I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see Eddard and Jaime in a match...again.)

(9)Sandor Clegane - I like Ned, but I think Sandor's the more interesting character

(2)Arya Stark - Arya's the best character in the series hands down, but I'd probably vote for Jaime over either of the characters in the first match.

(3)Eddard Stark - The Hound is so awesome, but Ned is the perfect (decoy) protagonist. I think he'll be fed to the winner of the other match either way, but he deserves the win here.
(2)Arya Stark - I feel bad voting against Jaime, but Arya is a strong contender for being my favourite character in the show (and one of my favourites in the books). I kinda wish Jaime and Arya were in different matches here so they could meet in the semis, but what can you do.

(9)Sandor Clegane - Hate to vote against Ned, but the Hound takes this one.

(1)Jaime Lannister - Now this is a tough call. Probably the toughest for me personally. But I have to give the edge to Jaime simply for how surprisingly amazing and complicated he ended up being.

Lame that Theon lost to Jon. =/ I hope people who voted Jon haven't read ADWD yet (in which case it's perfectly understandable).

Arya vs Jaime is the single hardest match you could give me. Gotta go Jaime though. Arya is a really fun character and I love her chapters, but I think Jaime as a character is more interesting.

I fully expect whoever wins this match to take the whole thing.

I expect that Sandor will ultimately end up being more interesting, but right now I feel he's one of the most overrated characters in the series. I understand that that is an unpopular opinion, so I understand the criticism there.

However, Jaime is one of the most interesting characters and has the best character arc in the books (except maybe Theon). If you think that people have awful taste for voting for the character with the most development in the "Best Character" contest, I don't know what to say to you.

I wasn't referring to Sandor, I don't really care who wins that match. It's Arya losing to anyone short of Tyrion that's a travesty.

I don't see how you can't at least put Jaime in the same ballpark after his POVs.
