“If I fall… Don’t bring me back.”
We’re now into the thick of our Game of Thrones March Madness, a battle to determine the internet’s favorite character. The Final Four is brutal indeed — only members of Houses Stark and Lannister have lasted this long, and both matchups pit siblings against one another.
As is our custom, let’s take a look back before we move forward, highlighting some of the matches from the Elite 8, which put many a fan in a tough spot:
Jon Snow continued to demolish his family members, this time soundly defeating Arya Stark. And he’s not done, but more on that later. Elsewhere, Sansa Stark tossed Samwell Tarly from the tournament by a narrower margin, ending the wannabe maester’s run. At least Sam took out Cersei before he went.
On the opposite side of the bracket, Jaime sent number one seed Daenerys Targaryen packing. Dany faired better than in last year’s tournament, but still failed to make the finals. And Tyrion took down Stark family patriarch Ned Stark in the final matchup of the Elite 8. Poor old Ned can never seem to catch a break.
This round of voting lasts until Saturday, March 31st at 10 p.m. CST. Vote for your favorite! However you define that word is fine with us.
Vote for your favorite character
In our first matchup, Jon takes on Sansa. In season 7, the tension between these two never bubbled over into outright conflict, but that was then.
The King in the North vs the Lady of Winterfell! Who deserves the advance? More importantly, who has the better hair?

Unlike the Starks, the Lannister brothers have some legitimate beef to resolve. Although they seemed to come to terms with each other by the end of season 7, Tyrion did kill their father Tywin, which is gonna result in an awkward brunch at minimum. Who moves forward? You decide!
This is the second-to-last round of the tournament. Here’s the schedule:
National Semis (4 characters): March 26th-31st
Nation Finals (2 characters): April 1st-April 2nd
Don’t let your favorite character down!
