It’s the final of the preliminary rounds! That’s right, we’re inching closer than ever before to the quarterfinals.

But first, just moments ago, The Vampire Diaries‘s Klaus beat True Blood‘s Eric in round 6 — the closest and most passionate round yet! He will face off against Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Angel next week. Still ongoing is round 7 which has One Tree Hill’s Brooke Davis versus The Vampire Diaries’s Elena Gilbert. You can vote in that round by clicking here.

Now it’s time for two ordinary guys who got thrown into extraordinary situations: Scott McCall from MTV’s Teen Wolf faces off against Rick Grimes from AMC’s The Walking Dead. Whether Scott’s dazed or following through a plan, his natural rasp is always in effect. The same goes for Rick, whose whisper is probably to help keep quiet from walkers. Whatever the case may be, it’s time to decide: which whisper-talker do you like more?

You can vote as many times as you like. This poll closes Saturday at 3pm ET. Check out the entire tournament bracket by clicking here. Next up: Quarterfinals — Chuck Bass vs Tina Belcher. We’ll be back on Sunday to begin the quarterfinals!
