Game of Thrones meets March Madness, Round 4: Vote for your favorite character in our Final 4

 “Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder.” – Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish

We’re three rounds in to our Game of Thrones March Madness tournament, and there have been plenty of surprises. The third round of the tournament — the Sweet 16 — saw some upsets. Let’s take a look at the results before we get to the next round.

Tyrion Lannister vs. Tywin Lannister


Theon Greyjoy vs. Sansa Stark


Jon Snow vs. Oberyn Martell


Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish vs. Daenerys Targaryen

Tyrion vanquishing his father (again) wasn’t shocking, although Tywin was leading during brief periods before Tyrion pulled away over the last few days. Sansa Stark continued her strong showing, taking out Theon Greyjoy. That sets up an awkward matchup as former husband and wife face off for a chance to compete in the championship round.

No upset was bigger than King in the North Jon Snow losing to Oberyn Martell. Despite Oberyn only appearing in only one season, the Red Viper toppled one of the most characters on the show. This matchup was also impressive for because of the numbers involved — over fifteen thousand votes were tallied, six thousand more than any other matchup this round.

Then there’s Dany. Deanerys Targaryen might be on her way to Westeros on the show, but here, her path goes no further. Littlefinger’s fans pushed him onward, and we have a situation where neither Dany nor Jon, both fan favorites, are in the Final Four.

And now we arrive at the new polls. On one side, we have a spousal showdown between Tyrion and Sansa, and on the other we have a dangerous warrior throwing down with a master of chaos. Who will advance to our championship round? Voting lasts but two days this time (just like in the real Final Four), so get your votes in! And remember, there’s no right way to define “favorite character.” Vote for your favorites!
