Regardless of the genre, one thing that keeps us coming back to our favorite TV shows is the romance. With some shows, the “will they/won’t they” concept is the driving force.

With others, the romantic pairings are a reprieve from life-threatening situations.

No matter the case, we as an audience love to get invested in the shipping — who we want together, who we wish would get back together, and who we think makes an ideal couple.

So, we’re celebrating all of those kinds of ships this summer with our first ever Battle of the Ships!

Below, you can vote for your favorite TV ships in a variety of categories. You may vote for one choice in each category until Wednesday, August 22nd at 9:00pm EST!

Make sure to click “vote” after each category.

The top 5 couples in each category will then move on to the second and final round, which will begin on August 23rd.

Voting is now closed for Round 1! Come back for Round 2, which begins August 23rd!
