DarkUFO Character Cup- Round 1, Matchups 27 & 28 (**Closed**)

Congratulations to both Richard Alpert and Michael Dawson. Both picked up easy victories and are moving on to Round 2. Neither Karl nor Mr. Paik really stood much of a chance, but that's the way it goes with my non-virtual hat.

Speaking of the hat, it was rather cruel to provide us with yet another mathcup between two minor characters this evening. But, it's also giving us our second of three showdowns between main characters. Grumble all you want as to whether she deserves to be called a main character, but Lostpedia lists Nikki as one, and I'm sticking to it.

There are only two matchups beyond tonight remaining. With 5 recurring main characters left in the mix, and only 4 more possible winners, it means there will be a battle royale between to well-liked characters. Who will they be? We'll get to them soon enough. For now, let's vote on tonight's contestants.

Charles Widmore
