Vote! Tell-Tale TV’s Battle of the Ships 2021 (Round 1)
It’s that time of year again! For the fourth year in a row, we’re giving you the chance to have your voice heard about the all-important question with our annual Battle of the Ships: who’s the best TV couple?
Dedicated TV viewers know the joys of shipping all too well, becoming invested in the best romantic pairings, the will they/ won’t they tension between key characters, the devastating break-ups, and the happily-ever-afters.
What TV “ships” do you want to see finally sail (the characters that need to get together already)? What TV couples do you love the most? And who needs to get back together on your favorite show ASAP?
Below, you can vote for your favorite TV ships in a variety of categories. The nominees are a combination of team-member nominations and reader suggestions from social media.
This year’s nominees include pairings from Shadow and Bone, Grey’s Anatomy, Chicago Fire, The Resident, Riverdale, Lucifer, Wynonna Earp, Bridgerton, Julie and the Phantoms, and Ted Lasso, among many others.
You may vote for up to three choices in each category, and you can vote once a day until voting closes on Thursday, August 19th at 9:00pm EST!
Make sure to click “vote” after each category.
The top 12 couples in each category will then move on to the second round, which will begin on Friday, August 20th. By the way, in our third and final round, the top choices for the “Ship of the Year” categories will be combined!
*Also important to note: all characters, couples, and shows listed are from the past year (August 2020-July 2021).
Okay, so are you ready to vote for your favorite TV ships? Let’s get started! Remember, you can vote for up to three choices in each category, and you can come back once a day until voting closes.
