The winner with the most votes was Janet, with 47 votes. (5 more than she got last year, when she was also the Round 1 winner with the most votes!) The winner with the fewest votes was Mirror Tulip, with 6. The loser with the most votes was The Doctor, who lost to The Vision 25-34.

As we move on to the Round of 32, the races will get tighter, and campaigning will be more important than ever. So everyone get your pleas in place, and get ready to make some deals.
