Doctor Who Watch Madness: Sweet 16 results, updated bracket

Then there were eight! Round 2 of the Doctor Who Watch Madness has concluded, but which eight competitors remain standing?

And just like that, we’re officially halfway through the first annual Doctor Who Watch Madness tournament! Following an intense first round, the competition continued to heat up in the Sweet 16 round of the competition which managed to separate the tournament’s true contenders.

The second round of our tournament was full of memorable moments including the elimination of the first No. 1 seed as Sarah Jane Smith managed to breeze past her competition. Meanwhile, our sole surviving No. 2 seed Amy Pond kept her hot streak going with yet another hard-fought victory.
