Final Results

Congratulations to Len (Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room) and Ronnie (Wise Owl) on winning their respective tournaments! 🏆

The Steve runners-up are Andy (Cold Comfort) and Spencer (Simon Says). 🏅

The Reece runners-up are Tommy (Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room) and Mr Warren (The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge). 🏅 Ronnie beat Tommy in the final by just 4 votes.

Thanks to everyone who voted, interacted, and shared your love for the characters over the past two months. It's been a pleasure to read all your thoughtful, funny, passionate comments.

The tournament for non-Steve/Reece characters will be next. There is still time to nominate characters (more info here). Thanks to everyone who has already done so.

Once this tournament has wrapped up, you should put Steve characters against Reece characters. I think those would be pretty fun polls (and polarizing for sure lol)

Thank you for the suggestion! Those results would be very interesting to see! However, next I plan to run a tournament for non-Steve/Reece characters, and then probably go on hiatus for a while. If you’d like to post Steve vs Reece polls yourself, you should go for it!

By the way, thanks to everyone who has already nominated non-Steve/Reece characters for that tournament. Please continue to nominate as many characters as you like, either via asks or by responding to this post. You can nominate more than one character from the same episode. Please make sure to include the name of the episode.

The original poll ended in a tie. This rematch poll will stay open for 24 hours. The winner will then compete against Andy for a position in the Steve Final.

Reece (Round 3) stats

Biggest sweep: Tommy (Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room) 79.4% vs Viktor (Once Removed) 20.6% [x]

Closest contest: Mr Warren (The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge) 52.5% vs Simon (Simon Says) 47.5% [x]

Most votes: Mr Warren (The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge) vs Simon (Simon Says) 219 votes [x] – This was the first poll to receive more than 200 votes.

Fewest votes: Reece (Plodding On) vs Varney (The Stakeout) 112 votes [x]

Not only was Mr Warren vs Simon the closest contest and most-voted poll in this round – it attracted unprecedented engagement and controversy, which is perhaps what Simon would have wanted.

will there be a follow-up tournament to choose the best non-steve/reece character?

Thanks for the suggestion! I like that idea. I would be happy to run it here, if there's an appetite for it. It would mean selecting 32 or 64 characters to compete.

It would be helpful if people could indicate their interest and/or nominate characters who deserve to be in such a tournament, either via asks or by responding to this post.
