Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Third Round Julie Henderson (69.0%) defeated Yesica Toscanini (31.0%) (13) Paulina Porizkova (56.3%) defeated Genevieve Morton (43.7%) Julie Henderson and (13) Paulina Porizkova will face each other in the Sexy Sixteen My spin: Julie Henderson has never been one of the more popular SI models, despite her long run in the magazine. So, I didn’t expect a run to the Sexy Sixteen, yet that’s exactly what she has now done. Well done! Yesica Toscanini was her latest victim, as the Brazilian exits the tourney after a great run of her own, including a shocking win over Stephanie Seymour last round. In the other match, Genevieve Morton fell just short of #13 Paulina Porizkova, so Genevieve goes home after a very strong run through this year’s tourney. She was unbeaten until this match, and there’s no shame in losing to Paulina. What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Third Round (15) Heidi Klum (53.9%) defeated Laetitia Casta (46.1%) Sara Sampaio (57.1%) defeated Dominique Piek (42.9%) (15) Heidi Klum and Sara Sampaio will face each other in the Sexy Sixteen My spin: Hello, Sara Sampaio! The 2014 rookie of the year is the first rookie to reach the Sexy Sixteen in the brief 2-year history of this competition. Sara knocked off Dominique Piek, who can hold her head high after a good 2014 tournament. Sara’s opponent in the Sexy Sixteen will be supermodel Heidi Klum, who outlasted Laetitia Casta in her match. This is Heidi’s first appearance in the Sexy Sixteen, as well. What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Third Round (3) Marisa Miller (65.4%) defeated Daniella Sarahyba (34.6%) (14) Bar Refaeli (54.6%) defeated Hannah Davis (45.4%) (3) Marisa Miller and (14) Bar Refaeli will face each other in the Sexy Sixteen My spin: Defending champion Marisa Miller stumbled in the Group Stage, but she continues to make that a distant memory and has rolled on to the Sexy Sixteen. Marisa’s latest victim is Daniella Sarahyba, whose solid 2014 tournament run comes to an end. In the other match, Hannah Davis rode her wave of recent fame for all it was worth, but she came up just short of the Bar (Refaeli). Hannah looks like a future contender, though. So, it’ll be Marisa Miller vs. Bar Refaeli in the first Sexy Sixteen match in the Elaine Farley Region. It’s another epic one, and it’s nearly impossible to pick a favorite! What are your thoughts?

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Third Round (16) Petra Nemcova (86.2%) defeated Angela Lindvall (13.8%) (6) Daniela Pestova (56.3%) defeated Kim Cloutier (43.7%) (16) Petra Nemcova and (6) Daniela Pestova will face each other in the Sexy Sixteen My spin: Angela Lindvall’s 2014 tournament started off terribly, as she only got 31% of the vote in her first Group Stage match against Zoe Duchesne. But, from there, Angela was on fire in the rest of the Group Stage, with easy wins over Carre Otis, Juliana Martins, and Maria Von Hartz. That enabled her to win Group 46, and her win over #18 Vendela Kirsebom in the Second Round of the Knockout Stage shockingly got her to this point. Now, Angela’s magic carpet ride has come to a sudden halt. Petra Nemcova obliterated Angela in this match, getting more than 86% of the vote and putting her stake in the ground as one of the favorites still remaining. Petra will face fellow Czech beauty Daniela Pestova in the Sexy Sixteen. Daniela had a hard-fought win over sultry Canadian Kim Cloutier. Kim had a surprisingly great run in the 2013 tournament, and she followed that up with another great effort in 2014. Despite her “one hit wonder” status, Kim’s performances have proven that she is a very good SI model and can put a scare into any of the elite ones. It’ll be two Czech stunners in the Sexy Sixteen: Petra Nemcova and Daniela Pestova. The winner will play the winner of Elle Macpherson and Veronica Varekova. Yes, three of the four models still remaining in the Jule Campbell Region of the bracket are from the Czech Republic! It’s a pretty small country geographically, but it’s home to some of the most beautiful women on Earth… as well as some great beer (Pilsner Urquell) and food (Czech dumplings).

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Third Round (1) Elle Macpherson (62.1%) defeated Cindy Crawford (37.9%) (9) Veronica Varekova (51.3%) defeated Natasha Barnard (48.7%) (1) Elle Macpherson and (9) Veronica Varekova will face each other in the Sexy Sixteen My spin: Only 32 models were left entering the Third Round, and every match is getting more difficult to predict. In both of today’s matches, the favorite won, but it was certainly not easy! Our top seed, Elle Macpherson had a challenge from fellow supermodel Cindy Crawford, but Elle prevailed and ended up with over 60% of the vote. In the other match, #9 Veronica Varekova got all she could handle, and then some, from current SI model Natasha Barnard. Natasha had a great tournament, winning 5 matches including impressively easy wins over Rachel Hunter and Isabeli Fontana. But, in the end, she was narrowly defeated by the Czech beauty, Veronica. So, our first Sexy Sixteen match is set: Elle Macpherson vs. Veronica Varekova. I think Elle goes into it as the favorite, but it should be a close one! What are your thoughts? Post and share them!

I went back and forth on that one... I knew the backstory, but I didn't know the US citizenship rules. So, thank you. Based upon the fact that you are a goddess on BZ, I am amending my tournament and EmRata is hereby declared an American from now on.

Today’s results are in! These are the last matches in the Second Round. Third Round matches will begin shortly! Knockout Stage - Second Round Alyssa Miller (60.0%) defeated Bregje Heinen (40.0%) (2) Kathy Ireland (52.1%) defeated Chandra North (47.9%) Alyssa Miller and (2) Kathy Ireland will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Chandra North gave #2 Kathy Ireland all she could handle, but Kathy survived and advanced. Alyssa Miller beat rookie Bregje Heinen and will be a very worthy opponent for Kathy. I think Alyssa has what it takes to pull off the upset. So, the Second Round is history, and 16 great matches await us in the Third Round. They are: (1) Elle Macpherson (AUS) vs. Cindy Crawford (USA) Natasha Barnard (RSA) vs. (9) Veronica Varekova (CZE) (16) Petra Nemcova (CZE) vs. Angela Lindvall (USA) Kim Cloutier (CAN) vs. (6) Daniela Pestova (CZE) (3) Marisa Miller (USA) vs. Daniella Sarahyba (BRA) Hannah Davis (VIR) vs. (14) Bar Refaeli (ISR) (15) Heidi Klum (GER) vs. Laetitia Casta (FRA) Sara Sampaio (POR) vs. Dominique Piek (RSA) Yesica Toscanini (ARG) vs. Julie Henderson (USA) Genevieve Morton (RSA) vs. (13) Paulina Porizkova (CZE) (11) Christie Brinkley (USA) vs. Emily Ratajkowski (USA) Hilary Rhoda (USA) vs. (8) Brooklyn Decker (USA) (7) Irina Shayk (RUS) vs. Cintia Dicker (BRA) (21) Nina Agdal (DEN) vs. (12) Kate Upton (USA) Hannah Ferguson (USA) vs. Josie Maran (USA) Alyssa Miller (USA) vs. (2) Kathy Ireland (USA) It should be a great round!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round Hannah Ferguson (64.0%) defeated (10) Anne Vyalitsyna (36.0%) Josie Maran (68.0%) defeated (23) Stacey Williams (42.3%) Hannah Ferguson and Josie Maran will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Both top-25 models lost their matches today, as Anne V was upended by rookie Hannah Ferguson, and Stacey Williams lost - somewhat expectedly - to Josie Maran. Hannah joins Sara Sampaio and Emily Ratajkowski, as three rookies have made the final 32. Bregje Heinen could make it four, but she is an underdog in her match ending today against Alyssa Miller. So, it’s Hannah vs. Josie in the next round. It should be a competitive match. What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round (21) Nina Agdal (81.8%) defeated Kate Bock (18.2%) (12) Kate Upton (57.7%) defeated Melissa Haro (42.3%) (21) Nina Agdal and (12) Kate Upton will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Kate Bock had entered her match against Nina Agdal undefeated, but she was thoroughly beaten by Nina and couldn’t even get to 20% of the vote. Nina is looking like one of the favorites in the 2014 tournament. In the other match, Kate the Great had a tougher challenge from the underrated Melissa Haro, but she survived and will advance to the Third Round. So, that sets up another huge showdown: Nina vs. Kate, which is a rematch from the 2013 tournament. Nina surprised many and won that one, but what will happen this year? Winner moves on to the Sexy Sixteen. Loser goes home. It should be epic! What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round (7) Irina Shayk (75.0%) defeated Jessica Perez (25.0%) Cintia Dicker (57.9%) defeated Julie Ordon (42.1%) (7) Irina Shayk and Cintia Dicker will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Irina Shayk’s tournament was in serious jeopardy in the Group Stage after she had lost to Jeisa Chiminazzo. She rebounded to win the rest of her matches, Jeisa tripped up thanks to Lucia Dvorska, and Irina won the group after all. Now, she looks like none of that ever happened. Irina advanced to the final 32 models with a surprisingly lopsided win over Jessica Perez. In the other match, surprisingly unbeaten Julie Ordon finally met her match in the form of redheaded Brazilian Cintia Dicker. Cintia prevailed to stay unbeaten herself and will move on to a showdown against Irina. What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round Hilary Rhoda (66.7%) defeated Melissa Baker (33.3%) (8) Brooklyn Decker (79.2%) defeated Carol Alt (20.8%) Hilary Rhoda and (8) Brooklyn Decker will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Can anyone slow down the Brooklyn Decker freight train? That’s not looking easy right now, as evidenced by Brooklyn’s latest thrashing of supermodel Carol Alt. Carol barely managed to break 20% of the vote, and Brooklyn moves on easily. Brooklyn will face off against one of the surprises of the 2014 tournament, still-unbeaten Hilary Rhoda. Hilary got her fifth win cruising to victory over fellow Cinderella candidate Melissa Baker. Melissa did well to win Group 39, but her road ends in her first Knockout Stage match. What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round (11) Christie Brinkley (57.1%) defeated Michelle Behennah (42.9%) Emily Ratajkowski (69.6%) defeated Eva Herzigova (30.4%) (11) Christie Brinkley and Emily Ratajkowski will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Rookie #2 makes it into the final 32 models, as Emily Ratajkowski easily beat Czech supermodel Eva Herzigova to advance. Emily’s results in the tournament have not been entirely convincing: this was her largest margin of victory yet. But, what is convincing is a 5-0 record! Emily will have another tough test next round when she faces Christie Brinkley. Christie took care of Michelle Behennah, who got knocked out after a very respectable showing in the 2014 tournament. So, it’ll be young starlet EmRata versus the old guard Christie for a spot in the Sexy Sixteen! What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round Genevieve Morton (66.7%) defeated (17) Rebecca Romijn (33.3%) (13) Paulina Porizkova (57.9%) defeated Ana Beatriz Barros (42.1%) Genevieve Morton and (13) Paulina Porizkova will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Genevieve Morton continues her hot run in 2014, as she easily knocked off the #17 seed, Rebecca Romijn. Genevieve remains unbeaten and unchallenged. This was Genevieve’s closest match this year, and she won it by a 2-to-1 margin. Genevieve’s next opponent will be another top-20 model, Paulina Porizkova, who took care of Ana Beatriz Barros. Paulina is also unbeaten, so Genevieve vs. Paulina should be a cracker of a match.

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round Yesica Toscanini (61.1%) defeated Stephanie Seymour (38.9%) Julie Henderson (73.9%) defeated Gigi Hadid (26.1%) Yesica Toscanini and Julie Henderson will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Wow. I didn’t see this one coming. Stephanie Seymour is the only model to defeat last year’s champion, Marisa Miller, and she ran through the Group Stage undefeated while relegating Marisa to a wild card berth. So, what does she do as a follow up? Lose her first Knockout Stage match! Yesica Toscanini pulled off the upset to advance to the Third Round and made her native Argentina very proud, I’m sure! Yesica will face off against Julie Henderson, who steamrolled young rookie Gigi Hadid. Gigi had entered this match unbeaten, but she gets knocked out unceremoniously. There will be other chances for Gigi, but now it’ll be Yesica vs. Julie for a spot in the Sexy Sixteen. Who would have thought it? What are your thoughts? Post and share them!
