I predict that the first round will be pretty boring.
ISLAND REGIONAL
(1) Jack vs (16) Bram
(2) Juliet vs (15) Polar Bear
(3) Sun vs (14) U.S. Marshal Edward Mars
(4) Faraday vs (13) Naomi
(5) Boone vs (12) Roger Linus
(6) Lapidus vs (11) Horace Goodspeed
(7) Jacob vs (10) Mikhael
(8) Libby vs (9) Ilana
Jacob may be powerful, but he's pretty bland for a deity and may or may not be jerking everybody's chain. Mikhael has an eyepatch and is hard to kill. I know my choice.
LOS ANGELES REGIONAL
(1) Locke vs (16) Mr. Paik
(2) Ben vs (15) Goodwin
(3) Desmond vs (14) Cindy
(4) Michael vs (13) Arzt
(5) Richard Alpert vs (12) Paolo
(6) Ana Lucia vs (11) Vincent
(7) Christian Shephard vs (10) Keamy
(8) Bernard vs (9) Widmore
Poor Michael got saddled with the "WAAAALT" storyline, which is actually worse than being blown up by dynamite. Although come to think of it, they both got blown up. Christian Shephard is an intriguing enigma, but I've enjoyed Kevin Durand's performance (much more so than when he was on the island) in the flash sidways so much that he gets the edge. I have nothing against good old Bernard, but Widmore's role in the last few episodes will be too huge to ignore.
SYDNEY REGIONAL
(1) Sawyer vs (16) Dogen
(2) Hurley vs (15) Karl
(3) Charlie vs (14) Abbadon
(4) Claire vs (13) Aaron
(5) Shannon vs (12) Nikki
(6) Walt vs (11) Radzinsky
(7) Rousseau vs (10) Pierre Chang
(8) Rose vs (9) Alex Rousseau
Think we'll ever see Walt again? I almost gave Radzinsky the win, to be honest. He's the kind of asshole you like to see taken down a notch. But part of me holds out hope that we'll find out what made Walt "special." And I'm sorry, Rose, but Tania Raymonde is hot. Plus, I remember her from her small role on Malcolm in the Middle.
ANN ARBOR REGIONAL
(1) Kate vs (16) Pickett
(2) Sayid vs (15) Nadia
(3) Jin vs (14) Sarah Shephard
(4) The Smoke Monster/Man in Black vs (13) Phil
(5) Mr. Eko vs (12) Ethan Rom
(6) Miles vs (11) Eloise Hawking
(7) Charlotte vs (10) Tom Friendly
(8) Penny vs (9) Anthony Cooper
Our first upset-free round. Even the presence of Jimmy Barrett can't get me to shake things up a bit.
As for round two...
ISLAND REGIONAL
(1) Jack vs (8) Libby
(2) Juliet vs (10) Mikhael
(3) Sun vs (6) Lapidus
(4) Faraday vs (5) Boone
This round favors the higher seeds even more than the last round. I have both Sun and Jin bowing out here. Nothing against them, but they're just Desmond and Penny with better cheekbones and less English.
LOS ANGELES REGIONAL
(1) Locke vs (9) Widmore
(2) Ben vs (10) Keamy
(3) Desmond vs (6) Ana Lucia
(5) Richard Alpert vs (13) Arzt
Locke vs Widmore and Ben vs Keamy? Couldn't have planned it better if I'd tried.
SYDNEY REGIONAL
(1) Sawyer vs (9) Alex Rousseau
(2) Hurley vs (7) Rousseau
(3) Charlie vs (6) Walt
(4) Claire vs (5) Shannon
*Yawn* Claire against Shannon is the battle of useless blondes.
ANN ARBOR REGIONAL
(1) Kate vs (8) Penny
(2) Sayid vs (7) Charlotte
(3) Jin vs (6) Miles
(4) The Smoke Monster/Man in Black vs (5) Mr. Eko
Even my preference for redheads isn't enough to put Charlotte over Sayid. And Mr. Eko should've had a better run than this - but you can't fault him for once again falling to Smokey.
