Vote for Your Favorite TV Couples! Tell-Tale TV’s Battle of the Ships 2023 (Round 1)
It’s that time of year again! We’re offering you the chance to vote for your favorite TV couples in our 6th annual Battle of the Ships!
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 beloved characters, the devastating break-ups, and the happily-ever-afters.
Below, you can vote for your favorite TV couples 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 The Summer I Turned Pretty, Grey’s Anatomy, Chicago Fire, Succession, The Last of Us, The Owl House, What We Do in the Shadows, Abbott Elementary, Ghosts, Outlander, Shadow and Bone, Good Omens, Sanditon, The Rookie, and All American, among others.
You may vote for up to three choices in each category, and you can vote once a day until voting closes on Friday, August 18th 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 Saturday, August 19th. There will be a total of 3 rounds.
By the way, we’re doing something different this year. In the past, in our third and final round, the top choices for the “Ship of the Year” categories were combined. This year, however, we’re going to have three winners for “Ship of the Year” — one in each genre!
*Also important to note: all characters, couples, and shows listed are from the past year (August 2022-July 2023).
Are you ready to vote for your favorite TV ships? Let’s get started!
