DarkUFO Character Cup: R3, Matchup 3

Congrats to Ben. He destroyed Mr. Eko and has made it to the quarterfinals.

Ben: 84% (selected to win Round 3 on 93.5% of all brackets)
Eko: 16% (selected to win Round 3 on 0.9% of all brackets)

The bracket site has been updated. There's still four bracketeers tied for first place. Might that change today? We'll see.

Today's matchup pits a new favorite against an old favorite; the professor versus the millionaire; the memory-challenged scientist versus the heavy-set mental patient. Who will you vote for?

Daniel Faraday
A crew member of the freighter, Daniel is a physicist with apparent memory problems. Before coming to the Island, Daniel spent time as a professor at Queen’s College, Oxford University, where he experimented with time travel on a lab rat named Eloise. He also had an encounter with Desmond Hume and helped him find his constant. On the Island, Daniel was part of an extraction team to bring Benjamin Linus back to the freighter. The mission failed and he has since joined the Losties. He was last seen ferrying a boat full of redshirts to the freighter when the Island disappeared.

Hugo “Hurley” Reyes
One-time psych ward patient and fast food clerk, Hurley won a huge sum of money by playing the lottery with numbers he picked up from his time in the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute. He came to believe his money was cursed though. After surviving the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, the Numbers seemed to follow him. He seemed to have broken his curse and found a sense of belonging with the survivors. He is a member of the Oceanic 6 and was readmitted to Santa Rosa not long after returning home. He was last seen breaking out of Santa Rosa with help from Sayid.
