Both have the same choices, but the first question, you may only select one and the second one you may select as many as you like.

To the question "What Period Drama Series do you like to watch?" and with the voters being allowed to select more than one choice:

42% (15 votes) said Downton Abbey

2% (1 vote) said House of Eliott

40% (14 votes) said Lark Rise to Candleford

40% (14 votes) said Other

Thank you everyone for voting. I'll put up the next side poll soon (it will have to do with the reviews that I have done, including the upcoming ones!)

Tournament: Winner Announced!

Before I announce the winner, I would like to thank everyone for voting. I also would like to thank those for putting up a button for the tournament. It was a big help! Thank you, everyone!

Now, onto the results...

Voting for the Final Round is closed. The winner is...

Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice!

Here are the final voting results:

Elizabeth Bennet (Pride and Prejudice) (35 votes)

Elinor Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility) (16 votes)

This concludes "The Period Drama Heroine Tournament"! Again, thank you everyone! Next time this tournament comes along, Elizabeth Bennet will not compete (I don't know in how many tournaments she will have to wait, but for a while).

The next tournament won't be for awhile. In the meantime, I'll need to work more on "The Pride and Prejudice Wardrobe" and maybe some more banners. The reviews will continue to come weekly.

How did you like the tournament? Did you enjoy it? Would you like a repeat of this tournament at a different time with different matches? Anymore thoughts? Leave a comment!
