As the New Year quickly approaches, it really got me thinking about some of my absolute favorite couples or ships on television. Whether it was a moment of passion, a first kiss, or a love built on friendship, there were many ships that had my heart skipping a beat, as I gasped for air and fell in love along with them.
It was difficult for me to narrow down my favorite ships for 2020 and I didn’t think it was possible for me to choose my absolute favorite one, which is where you came in!
I ran a three round poll (randomized tournament style) on Twitter and asked for fans to cast their votes for their favorite ships of the year on TV. Thank you so much for your participation and support, as the tournament was so much fun and actually really competitive!
*This was actually the biggest response I have ever gotten on one of these and we ended up having over a thousand votes in the final round! Amazing!
Round One featured the following ships/couples from 2020:
- Cheryl & Toni from Riverdale (Ship name: Choni)
- Betty & Jughead from Riverdale (Ship name: Bughead)
- Veronica & Archie from Riverdale (Ship name: Varchie)
- Ian & Mickey from Shameless (Ship name: Gallavich)
- Murphy & Emori from The 100 (Ship name: Memori)
- Villanelle & Eve from Killing Eve (Ship name: Villaneve)
- Chloe Decker & Lucifer from Lucifer (Ship name: Deckerstar)
- Dean & Castiel from Supernatural (Ship name: Destiel)
- Harry & Macy from Charmed (Ship name: Hacy)

- Chloe & Lucifer (Deckerstar)
- Betty & Archie (Barchie)
- Betty & Jughead (Bughead)
- Veronica & Archie (Varchie)

After your votes in Round Two, the following ships/couples moved on to the FINALS:
- Betty & Archie (Barchie)
- Chloe & Lucifer (Deckerstar)
- Ian & Mickey (Gallavich)
Most Spirited Ship Fans: Harry & Macy (Hacy) fans deserve some recognition here even though they didn’t make it to the final round. They really held their own and I can’t wait to see what happens next with Hacy in 2021! Ty for voting!!!!

After your votes in Round Three, the FINAL results are:
3rd place: Ian & Mickey (Gallavich)
It was a dream come true for Gallavich fans everywhere when these two were reunited and the final season is giving us plenty of reasons to ship these two all over again. Well deserved!!!!

2nd place: Betty & Archie (Barchie)
Things really heated up between these two in 2020 and even though they are going back to their other partners, there was an undeniable spark ignited here that cannot be ignored!
