Well, here we are. After over 6 months, and choosing from over 550 episodes, we have arrived to the final vote! The best of each season has been decided by you, the FANs; and now it's time to choose the best of the best. Rules are the same: 7 days and up to 5 votes to cast with. Should there be a tie, we'll have a 3-day tiebreaker.

EVER!
