After more than a hundred thousand votes, the CBS faithful have spoken. What began with 16 network favorites came down to a title match pitting Simon Baker of The Mentalist fame against Hawaii Five-O star Alex O'Loughlin. With 51.9 percent of the vote, the winner in a nail-biter is Simon Baker.

 

Simon handily dispatched Kat Dennings and Julianna Margulies before triumphing over fan favorites Mark Harmon and O'Loughlin to claim the title. No one can say he didn't earn it with that record. With his victory, Simon advances to our ULTIMATE Tournament of TV Fanatic, against CW winner Jensen Ackles and the winner of forthcoming NBC, Fox, ABC and miscellaneous (HBO, USA, etc.) brackets.
