Our own March Madness Part 4 (end of Round 1) - The Whedonverse Character Tournament

So if you're just getting to this now you're just a little late, but still totally in time to join the fun. We're hosting a "March Madness" tourney of our very own, to find the best/fan-favorite character of the entire Whedonverse. We've been giving out randomized pairings of characters from Joss Whedon shows: Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Dr. Horrible. This is the final part of Round 1. After this, it's the "best of the best" facing off for the rest of the month.

This last round, The LA Region, was insane. First of all, there were some very hard decisions to make such as: Dru vs. Dr. Horrible and Angel vs. Wash (of all things.) The biggest shocker of the entire tourney thus far, however, has got to be Detective Kate Lockley getting her ass handed to her on a platter by the character inserted into the tourney as a joke: The Cheeseman from Restless. He's not even a real character!! He doesn't even have a story! Wtf? Wow that's a lot of Kate hate. I'm personally saddened by Groo losing to Phantom Dennis, but what can you do? The people have spoken. Here is a full list of winners....and what a fine looking bunch they are (well except Cheese and Dennis because he doesn't even have a fricken face. Really. How those 2 advanced, I'll never know.)

Dr. Horrible 31 to Dru 22; Groo 21 to Phantom Dennis 32; Giles 51 to Riley 2; Kate 19 to Cheeseman 34;
The First Slayer 14 to Jayne 39; Cordelia 49 to D'Hoffryn 3; Doyle 35 to Glory 18; Angel 41 to Wash 11

So here are the pairings for the final part of Round 1, ending in 3 days - Mon March 16th at 11:59 pm EST. Just like always, if you want to play leave your choices in the comments section of this post!
