It's an utter disgrace that Corrie got knocked out so soon. This scene is worthy of an Oscar:
Television RedCafe's Favourite TV Shows (Round 2)
- Thread starter Dirty Schwein
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Don't tell me you've tallied it all up and are doing some tactical voting
Updating mine too, The Wire will be fine. I think both me and hobbers are concerned with the amount of old people coming in and voting X-files and nothing else.

I just did a bit of soul searching and realised that Parks and Rec and The Americans are both genre defining masterpieces.
Also I am completely unaware about the current bottom 2 in each group.

You have successfully fecked over Chernobyl. My favourite show in group 2
Chernobyl will be fine whether it finishes 2nd or 3rd. No danger it wont be in the final.You have successfully fecked over Chernobyl. My favourite show in group 2
I'm gonna hold you to that.
Don't allow people to change their lists and tactical vote. Jesus how pety.
I can't really control that unfortunately. Vote changes give me a huge chore each time in the tallying process but I allow it as some people may change their mind on something, which is fine. If someone wants to tactically vote, not much I can do about it
I know I personally won't do it, even if Spartacus is about to get eliminated when it appears.
Seriously though maybe you should change it so people only get as many points to play with as things they vote.
For example someone voting 1. South Park 2. The Shield would give 2 points to South Park and 1 point to the Shield.

This is not a bad shout but I've spent hours counting yesterday and refuse to go back and do that again
To be fair, the way the contest is, I do truly feel the best stuff will get through.
As an experiment I might try both methods on the votes for this round and see how big the differences are. Once all the votes are in.This is not a bad shout but I've spent hours counting yesterday and refuse to go back and do that again

I mean I'm happy to do it that way if there is a consensus.
Edit: In fact I might just do it that way. It's more work this round but think it'll lead to a fairer conclusion and less tactical voting.
As long as the votes are public there will always be a loophole. If two shows are fighting neck-and-neck over that sweet 2nd place, then you could just vote for all shows (even if you haven't seen them) and put the competitor in last place.
At least that still means ranking tv shows. Rather than voting only one show in a group and giving it +3 relative to everything else.
The rules have been updated in the OP. Will tally again today.
Meh... I'd rather people just weren't dickheads, but I get that this is naive to hope for. In any case, I think it's better that a show misses out because not enough people saw it than a show missing out because 2-3 sneaky posters actively sabotaged it!
This is why the Oscars end up being shite.
We could have gotten there on Monday, but better late than never.
Anyway, as long as Band of Brothers wins the entire thing I couldn't care less.
These awards need a name in honor of all the hard work @Dirty Schwein does for us.
The Dirties? The Schweinies?
People coming in voting one show and bouncing could be seen as tactical too. We're fighting back
Tbf I don't know the scores but I have a good impression that certain things are close.
I just keep thinking that Dirty Schwein sounds like an euphuism for a bumhole. So i'm the last person that should be naming this.
Yup. What is even the point of voting in a group you have seen just one show? I mean, maybe they even think it was absolutely terrible show, that they only watched because their spouse wanted to. So why get more points than other shows by default. Personally I would disqualify all 1 show voters. But we have had enough rule changes already.People coming in voting one show and bouncing could be seen as tactical too. We're fighting back

I needed time to see sense.
Wow. This thread has better drama than some of the shows that got posted.

I don't know why I put myself through these every year. There's always something that makes people's blood boil.
One of my Top3 best ever series.You have successfully fecked over Chernobyl. My favourite show in group 2
Chernobyl and Band of Brothers should easily both end up top 3 in the finals but they wont.
Because it sounds like Dirty Shrine, which, to some people, the bumhole is. @rimaldo
@Dirty Schwein I saw you updated rules. Not sure now if it's better to vote for shows we haven't seen or leave them off the list but I guess I'll vote for all five now to give my number 1s full points.
