^^ I don't know if that means she was lucky with who she was paired against, or that people started liking her more as the competition progressed?

Not a Lais fan? Or think she didn't deserve to win this comp? There were a few I thought should have won, but I only get one vote per round. I should have more power in these comps.

PSG can definitely afford it, so they will be okay no matter how well he plays.

Lais ^^ (I would have done the same thing no matter who won) ^^ Thanks for the competition, @peroxideblonde

8. Alexandra Daddario 7. Margot Robbie 6. Amanda Seyfried 5. Eva Green 4. Amber Heard 3. Charlize Theron 2. Gal Gadot 1. Megan Fox I didn't notice this at first. It makes the vote less stressful with just two being out.

Man City thought they were getting Dani Alves. When PSG decides to pay essentially double, you know where the player is going. On Dani Alves, I'm not sure he is still worth that much, but I'm not paying.

I forgot to mention the allocation changes which will add to that dip in standard of play you mentioned. - UEFA is getting 3 more teams and CONMEBOL 1.5 (really 1), those teams will likely be competitive. - OFC is going to have one spot, which should mean New Zealand unless something goes wrong. - AFC is gaining 3.5, CAF 4 and CONCACAF 2.5. Based on World Cup history, these should mostly be weak teams. This is where the drop in quality should come from. Some of these teams could be really poor quality.

It's always disappointing when a show has to change actors, especially if it happens a lot. Laura is in fairly high demand, though. I wonder if she is starting a new play.

I think they are setting it up for her to figure out he is Spider-Man in the sequel. I'm a little surprised they wrote it in a way that so many people already know Peter is Spider-Man.

I have tried hard to think of a model from Andorra, San Marino, Luxembourg, Malta, or Liechtenstein. No luck so far.

There is room for interpretation, and @peroxideblonde is the one who gets to interpret things (I'm glad I don't have to decide). One of the advantages of running the competition is that you decide the rules, and you get the final word.

Who will decide this one? I wish I had saved my vote so I could end it now and move on to the next round.

It's definitely a different kind of show than BB. You can't watch it expecting Breaking Bad 2. It's not dark nearly as early on in the show. BB gets dark quickly. In Better Call Saul, the character of Jimmy is not very dark at all, and you mostly pull for him. It's also very different because you know where the show is headed which you didn't know with BB. It's hard to explain how it's different while avoiding specifics. (There are a few flash-forwards to Saul after the end of BB which is interesting and I'm sure will pay off more as the show progresses) Mike is a fun character to watch in the show too.

The idea of Israel in Europe comes from sports (mainly football and basketball) since Israel has to compete within European systems because Middle Eastern countries refuse to compete with them. If you just went with geographic Europe, you wouldn't include the models from Israel, Georgia, Armenia, or Turkey. I don't think it's a big deal to include them for this competition, though. Really, if someone thought of a model from Kazakhstan or Azerbaijan, that would probably be okay too.

Also, Two great episodes. Avoiding specifics, I really like how they are handling the transition from Jimmy to Saul. It would be silly if it was a dramatic overnight change, it has to be gradual.

I'm sure we all could name a model or two we think should be in the final 8 or 4. It's all opinions and preferences, there is not one absolutely right answer in any of these competitions. It's one of the reasons they are enjoyable.

Belgium: Rose Bertram With all the possible models, there was always going to be at least one obvious miss.
