\"2016-middleearthmadness-bracket-rd4\"<\/a>We have our Elite Eight! <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some big names in these four match-ups that will determine each division winner.<\/p>\n

Who is more beautiful? (3) Galadriel or (9) Varda?! How can one choose. This reporter believes Galadriel will pull out the favored victory based on name recognition alone…but is it right? <\/p>\n

In the Brains division we have two popular characters head to head…(2) Gandalf vs. (8) Elrond. Seems like a match-up that could go either way.<\/p>\n

The Brawn divison as the two top seeds facing off for bragging right. (1) Beorn vs. (2) Eowyn. <\/p>\n

And last, but not least, the Baddies division has the top seed, (1) Morgoth, facing fan-favorite (3) Smaug. Should be a match-up for the ages!<\/p>\n

Voting is now open and will remain open until April 2nd<\/span> at 10pm ET. We will calculate the winners at that point and post the next round on April 3rd<\/span>. Follow after the break for a complete bracket image (download it<\/a>), and to vote on all of our Round 4 match-ups!
