This is TEAM Norway. Big thanks to miss for all her help. This team is dedicated to you.

Alright next up is brainstoming for Netherlands and Germany. Realise there have been many suggestions in recent posts. So add more if you want and I will get to setting up the preliminary teams later on today. Cheers.

Thanks to everyone's contributions. This is your TEAM Israel. Quite an easy choice. With Natalie Portman and Bar Rafaeli spearheading the lineup it looks to be a strong team.

Natalie Portman

Bar Rafaeli

Esti Ginzborg

Agam Rodberg

Moran Atias

Yeah, we're still doing Israel and Norway. These are the preliminary teams. Sorry for the slow update I was busy today. Also, big shout out to miss who has put in a massive effot to make lists for Germany and Netherlands and Norway especially (with the pics). Really appreciate it! Also, thanks to everyone else who has helped out.

Israel

CONFIRMED: Natalie Portman

CONFIRMED: Bar Rafaeli

CONFIRMED: Esti Ginzborg

Agam Rodberg

Moran Atias

Norway

CONFIRMED: Iselin Steiro

Kristanna Loken

CONFIRMED: Siri Tollerod

Nina Oord

Natassia Malthe

Tell me if you want any changes.

girls, now its Norway and Israel ..

Alright we will do 2 countries at a time. The first was Norway and now we have Israel. So we are currently brainstorming for these two countries simultaneaously. irenistiQ, chose Netherlands and Germany but I wanted to do something different. We will look at the Dutch and German ladies later.

Israel:

name - profession - rating

Bar Rafaeli - model - 9/10

Natalie Portman - Actress - 9.5/10

Rotem Sela - model -7/10

Roni Duani - singer - 7/10

Yael Bar Zohar - model - 7.25/10

Agam Rodberg -model - 8.25/10

Moran Atias - TV presenter - 7.5/10

Anna Bauman - model - 8/10

Esti Ginzborg - model - 8.5/10

Sima Bakhar - 2005 Mrs. World Winner - 7/10

my top five: Natalie Portman , Bar Rafaeli, Esti Ginzborg, Agam Rodberg & Anna Bauman

Hope everyone appreciates the fine ladies from Israel. I also hope that you've found some new gems. That's the whole idea of this thread. Remember, we are currently brainstorming for both Norway and Israel, so post any new names you can think of.

Izabella Scorupco is Polish, she just moved to Sweden when she was 8.

And she has been living there since then.

For irenistiQ. I'm trying to find more beauties from Norway that aren't models. Here are a few:

Natassia Malthe - Actress/Model - was in Dead or Alive, looks a bit like Catherine Zeta Jones

Annie - A Norwegian DJ/singer and songwriter.

Monica Hansen - Model - She's half Norwegian and half Brazilian. She's dated Leornado Di Caprio and Enrique Iglesias in the past.

Carina Dahl - Singer

Marion Ravn - A very popular Singer. You might recognise her as one half of the former pop duo M2M.

Kristanna Loken - actress, born in America but is a nationalised Norwegian

Right, most have agreed the preliminary team suggested needs no changes. So this is Team Sweden:

Mona Johannesson

Caroline Winberg

Mini Anden

Johanna Jonsson

Victoria Silvstedt

That was easy. 3 teams completed. Good job all. 191 countries to go. Next country to look at will be Norway as first suggested by miss. Post all new names that you can think of. Appreciate if you can some pictures.

but why mostly models?

From the brainstorming process the following names were picked. That's quite an extensive list.

Elsa Hosk

Mona Johannesson

Johanna Jonsson

Caroline Winberg

Mini Anden

Emma Sjoberg

Elsa Sylvan

Izabella Scorupco

Malin Ljungberg

Emma Åhlund

Vicky Andren

Madeleine Blomberg

Fanni Boström

Adina Fohlin

Caroline Forsling

Elin Skoghagen

Helen Swedin

Victoria Silvstedt

Elin Nordegren

Alright, that's all the names we got from brainstorming. Most names were contributed by miss. Thanks, for sharing the knowledge. The preliminary team is:

CONFIRMED: Mona Johannesson

CONFIRMED: Caroline Winberg

CONFIRMED: Mini Anden

Johanna Jonsson

Victoria Silvstedt

Right, tell me if you want any changes.

Also, I'm going to let you choose what team we should look at next. The first country (any country except Canada, Argentina and Sweden) to be suggested by anyone will be the next team that we look at.

SWEDEN - brainstorming - list all the lovely and fine ladies from Sweden that you can

Some names that have come up in previous posts are:

Elsa Hosk

Mona Johannesson

Johanna Jonsson

Caroline Winberg

Mini Anden

I can think of Elin Nordegren (Mrs Tiger Woods) and Victoria Silvstedt

Alright, Argentina has been finalized.

Your TEAM ARGENTINA:

Milagros Schmoll

Carolina 'Pampita' Ardohain

Cecilia Mendez

Yamila Diaz

Yésica Toscanini

Next up, brainstorming for Sweden. Cheers

@miss No need to be sorry, I was just saying that it's good that you agree with the current selected team.

Hahaha that's the exact team as the preliminary team. Nice! Anyone else?

Argentina:

Brainstorming - DONE - Carolina 'Pampita' Ardohain, Luli Fernandez, Valeria Mazza, Rocio Guirao Diaz, Luisana Lopilato, Celeste Cid, Yésica Toscanini, Yamila Díaz, Pamela David, Cecilia Mendez, Romina Lanaro, Flo Genaro, Milagros Schmoll, Florencia Fabiano, Ines Rivero and Daniela Urzi

Preliminary Team

Yamila Diaz Rahi

CONFIRMED: Carolina 'Pampita' Ardohain

Valeria Mazza

Ines Rivero

CONFIRMED: Yésica Toscanini

Need to finalize this team. Please suggest any individual changes.

Hi everyone,

I've updated the rules so please read them. So sorry for the mess so far but I guess I'm trying to refine it.

Please read the first post.

Please read the first post.

Please read it! Thanks.

Anyway,

Canada's finalized team is as follows:

Elisha Cuthbert, Daria Werbowy, Linda Evangelsita, Pamela Anderson and Heather Marks.

THIS IS YOUR TEAM CANADA ... **plays Canadian anthem in background**

1 down 193 countries to go! Finalizing Argentina will be next.

Alright thanks for the suggestion.

So far,

CONFIRMED - Elisha Cuthbert

CONFIRMED - Daria Werbowy

Kristin Kreuk - replace with Pamela Anderson / Rachel McAdams / Nelly Furtado?

Linda Evengelista - keep?

Stam - replace with Heather Marks/ Coco Rocha /Andi Muise ?

Elisha and Daria have been the majorities favorites so far so they are confirmed in the team. How bout the other 3?

Sorry, didn't mean to make it so confusing. I just thought that it would save me from counting everyones nominations if I suggest a team and you tell me what you want changed.

e.g. I had a list:

Elisha Cuthbert

Kristin Kreuk

Jessica Stam

Daria Werbowy

Linda Evangelista

Someone might come up and say, "I think we should replace Stam with Heather Marks". Then if 2 or 3 more people agree then I can change it. Or do you guys want me to count everyone's nominations? ... I'm trying to make this work.

By the way for those who were following the match between Brazil and China. Brazil won 4 goals to 2 goals. For those confused, I take the votes for each team and player and put it into a simulator which I programmed and it spits out a score, the goal scorers and commentary. Yes, I have spent too much time on this project. But it's different and fun! Hopefully it pays off. Thanks for the support from everyone!

Surprisingly it was quite close. The votes were 51 to 44 in favour of Brazil. Adriana Lima got 19 individual votes making her the MVP. However, there was a Chinese girl called Liu Yifei who did very very well. She got 18 votes. Not too bad. For a while she was in the lead until the last 8 hours, when votes came flooding in for Adriana. Check out the match report here.

Yeah and I made a tribute video to Brazil. It has over 30+ models from Brazil in 1min and 20 seconds.

Canada will be playing Argentina next, so selections are crucial.

Alright I've looked at eveyones suggestions for Canada and they are listed below:

Kristin Kreuk

Elisha Cuthbert

Rachel McAdams

Jessica Stam

Daria Werbowy

Lisa Cant

Heather Marks

Julia Dunstall

Coco Rocha

Andi Muise

Avril Lavigne

Nelly Furtado

Pamela Anderson

Linda Evangelista

Yasmeen Ghauri

Shalom Harlow

Tasha Tilberg

Thats like a whole ice hockey team . Hope I haven't missed anyone. Oops I have, :yuckky: Miss Jay Manuel... Umm s/he can be the manager! Are you American Irenistiq, trying to sabotage the Canadian team? Just joking...

Anyways I want to finilize the Canadian team. I will give you the my first 5 choices and instead of posting a entirely new team. Just say what you want changed, eg. you want to take out someone and replace them with someone else.

The following choices have been chosen by taking into consideration, first their beauty and sexiness and secondly their popularity. After all you do want them to poll well. I know all the people at Bellazon know their models and the real faces of the fashion industry BUT my mates who just watch Hollywood movies and soap operas won't know several of the names listed above. Also, there will be no fixed categorised selections as jman suggested. If you've been blessed with the best you got to use them. Heck, if some Canadian forum started promoting their lineup it is possible for them to beat Brazil or America as all the Canadians would vote for their own team.

So my Canadian selection (based on input from all the posts so far and taking into consideration their popularity) is:

Elisha Cuthbert

Kristin Kreuk

Jessica Stam

Daria Werbowy

Linda Evangelista

Elisha and Kristin are more household names. Stam and Werbory are very popular in the modeling arena right now. And Linda Evangelista is a veteran who many people know and admire. Those that closely missed out were: Coco Rocha and Andi Muise.

So give me your suggestions (not a whole new lineup unless mine was very poor ) for improving the lineup above.

After finalising this team (say by the end of today) we will look at Sweden. I will post my views on the Argie team later.

Have a great weekend all!

Dan

I've started a new thread here:

http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic13508/Ba...om_each_country

Thanks to everyone who helped out. The new thread is much much much more organised, at least it will be.

USA: Josie Maran & Kemp Muhl

Brazil: Alessandra Ambrosio & Gisele Bundchen

If I may, can I put in a bid for TEAM ARGENTINA"?

(Top row, from left - Carolina 'Pampita' Ardohain, Luli Fernandez, Valeria Mazza. Second row - Rocio Guirao Diaz, Luisana Lopilato)

I've tried to stick to the rules. Although technically they're all models they do meet your criteria: Ms. Lopilato is more famous as an actress and singer, and Ms. Fernandez is now a television presenter. I also liked the idea of a 'classic' and thought Ms. Mazza would be an excellent candidate for that role. Our ladies here tend to multi-task anyway. If you're good-looking they'll rope you into do anything! Ms. Guirao Diaz is about to start hosting a children's show(!!!) Goodness knows how that will pan out.

And notice this is without resorting to lingerie/swimwear pictures; nor the inevitable "ass-shot" that we are relentlessly fond of here...

UPDATED FEB 18th 2008

Hi everyone,

I've updated the rules for selecting the hottest 5 ladies from each country. Sorry it's ben a pretty messy ride in thread so far but it's a new format so it will take a while to find a way to make this work. So stay with us and we're make this an excellent thread, worth looking over again and again. There are 194 countries to do, so get ready for some fun!

RULES:

1. I select the countries that we will all look at. So if we're trying to analyse one country (e.g. Sweden) and someone keeps giving their views on another country's lineup (e.g. Australia ... not being harsh, after all I am from Australia), this will be totally ignored. Please follow this rule strictly.

2. There will be 3 stages within each selection after I have selected a country to look at.

STAGE 1: BRAINSTORMING (24 hours to 48 hours) - this is where everyone just shouts out as many hot ladies from the particular country as possible.

eg. BRAZIL

Adriana Lima, Caroline Trentini, ANa Paula Araujo, Alessandra Ambrosio, Gisele Bundchen, Ana Beatriz BArros, Izabel Goulart, Raica Oliviera, Ana Hickmann, Fernanda Tavares, Ana Claudia Michels, Isabeli Fontana, Racquel Zimmermann, Aline Nakashima, Michelle Alves, Karoline Amaral, Yasmin Brunet, Jeisa Chiminazzo, Camilla Finn, Ana Carolina da Fonseca, Caroline Francischini, Luciana Giminez, Natalia Guimaraes, Juliana Imai, Sabrina Jales, Fernanda Lessa, Leticia Birkheuer, Juliana Martins, Fernanda Motta, Solange Wilvert, Ellen Roche, Daniella Sarahyba, Fabiana Semprebom, Fabiana Tambosi, Bruna Tenorio, Flavia de Olivieira

STAGE 2: PRELIMINARY SELECTION (5 minutes) - this is where I select a team of the most popular suggestions from the brainstorming session. This is a draft team.

e.g.

Adrina Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, Ana Beatriz Barros, Isabeli Fontana

STAGE 3: FINALIZING TEAMS - this is where everyone suggests individual changes to the team. If there is a standout request then it will be looked at. The changes made after this is the FINAL team.

e.g. 4 people requested: "Replace Isabeli Fontana with Gisele Bundchen because she is the best"

Then the finalized team will be: Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, ABB and Gisele.

Yeah jarhead my bad, initially it was suppose to be Brazil vs. China but I think that it will be better if it's an all in one thread. Can I change it? If a moderator wants to change the topic feel free, maybe... "Which country is the hottest?" or "Support your team of hot babes". Whatever.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
