Battle of the Ships 2022: Results! Riverdale, Law & Order: SVU / Organized Crime, and ‘Motherland: Fort Salem’ Have This Year’s Winning Couples
We’ve had so much fun celebrating our favorite TV couple with our fourth annual Battle of the Ships! After three rounds of voting, the results are in. Are you ready?
For the past few weeks, our readers have voted for the couples they most want to see get back together, the couples they’d most like to see become a reality, and of course the Ship of the Year.
As usual, for Ship of the Year, the first two rounds included three separate polls, based on genre. For the third round, the top choices in each of those categories were combined.
Some of the couples that made it to the final round this year included Cheryl and Toni (Riverdale), Eric and Adam (Sex Education), Maddie and Chimney (9-1-1), Max and Lucas (Stranger Things), Ruzek and Burgess (Chicago P.D.), Steve and Nancy (Stranger Things), Anne Lister and Ann Walker (Gentleman Jack), Carina and Maya (Station 19), Emily and Sue (Dickinson), Harley and Ivy (Harley Quinn), Jake and Amy (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Jay and Hailey (Chicago P.D.), Juliette and Cal (First Kill), Lucifer and Chloe (Lucifer), and Raelle and Scylla (Motherland: Fort Salem).
