Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round Sara Sampaio (61.9%) defeated Vanessa Lorenzo (38.1%) Dominique Piek (72.2%) defeated May Andersen (27.8%) Sara Sampaio and Dominique Piek will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Sara Sampaio remained undefeated in her career and became the first 2014 rookie to advance to the Third Round. Sara started as a dark horse candidate, and she has delivered as she finds herself amongst the 32 remaining models in the next round. A similar dark horse candidate, Dominique Piek, will be Sara’s opponent in the Third Round. Dominique easily beat May Andersen, and it looks like Dominique is gaining momentum. The Sara vs. Dominique match may be one of the most interesting we’ve seen so far. What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round (15) Heidi Klum (63.6%) defeated Izabel Goulart (36.4%) Laetitia Casta (67.9%) defeated (22) Elsa Benitez (32.1%) (15) Heidi Klum and Laetitia Casta will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Heidi Klum and Izabel Goulart waged a bodypaint battle, and Heidi won convincingly to remain undefeated and bounce Izabel from the 2014 tournament. In the other match, Laetitia Casta won more easily than I would have imagined against #22 Elsa Benitez. Both models had come into the match undefeated, so I expected a competitive one, but Laetitia won going away. Elsa’s first loss sends her packing and hoping for better in next year’s tournament. That sets up a very promising match against a couple of well-known supermodels. Heidi or Laetitia? That’s what you will need to decide! What are your thoughts? Post and share them!

Hannah will have her toughest test of the tournament, by far, when she faces Bar Refaeli in the next match. Bar got there by pummeling Ehrinn Cummings, whose surprising run in this year’s tournament comes to a crashing halt. What are your thoughts? Post and share them!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round (3) Marisa Miller (75.0%) defeated (5) Yamila Diaz-Rahi (25.0%) Daniella Sarahyba (52.2%) defeated Angie Everhart (47.8%) (3) Marisa Miller and Daniella Sarahyba will face each other in the Third Round My spin: The huge Second Round match between models ranked in the top five ended up being a bit of a yawner, as #3 Marisa Miller easily beat #5 Yamila Diaz-Rahi, perhaps suggesting that Yamila may be outclassed in the top five. In the other match, Daniella Sarahyba narrowly defeated ravishing redhead Angie Everhart. Angie’s first loss of the 2014 tournament sends her home waiting for next year, while Daniella continues a nice run and will now face her toughest test yet when Marisa comes knocking.

Daniela knocked off a tough opponent in Lucia Dvorska rather easily, and that will setup a showdown against Canadian Kim Cloutier. Kim dispatched of Carolyn Murphy to advance to what should be a great Third Round match against Daniela. What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round (16) Petra Nemcova (58.6%) defeated Jessica Gomes (41.4%) Angela Lindvall (52.2%) defeated (18) Vendela Kirsebom (47.8%) (16) Petra Nemcova and Angela Lindvall will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Tough day for yours truly. Vendela Kirsebom, perhaps my favorite SI model of all time, was knocked off by Angela Lindvall in a very close match. Angela’s run through this year’s tournament has been impressive, but this is her most impressive victory yet. But, it doesn’t make it any less sad for me! In the other match, Czech beauty Petra Nemcova won a close match against Jessica Gomes. Jessica had a tough draw in this tournament, as she got stuck in a group with #1 Elle Macpherson in the Group Stage. Apart from her match against Elle, Jessica dominated her opposition in the Group Stage and in her First Round match in the Knockout Stage. But, then she had to face Petra in this match. So, it was a good run for Jessica, even though she didn’t make it too far. So, the Third Round match will be Cinderella herself, Angela Lindvall, against the heavy favorite, Petra Nemcova, and the winner gets a spot in the Sexy Sixteen. If Angela could pull that off, then I’d really be impressed! What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round Natasha Barnard (70.4%) defeated Isabeli Fontana (29.6%) (9) Veronica Varekova (70.4%) defeated (4) Cheryl Tiegs (29.6%) Natasha Barnard and (9) Veronica Varekova will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Coincidentally, both matches ended with the same vote perccentages, as Natasha Barnard and Veronica Varekova both remained perfect in this year’s tournament. Natasha sent Isabeli Fontana home unhappy, as Isabeli suffered her first loss of the tournament. (She had a draw in the Group Stage with fellow Brazilian Daniella Sarahyba.) Veronica knocked off #4 Cheryl Tiegs, whose ranking will surely suffer after her two losses in this year’s tournament. There was not too much love for one of the pioneers of SI Swimsuit, which is unfortunate. Arguably, that “throwaway” fishnet shot of Cheryl started SI Swimsuit into the spotlight, but the competition nowadays is just too much for many models from that era. You, the voter, have spoken!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - Second Round (1) Elle Macpherson (52.0%) defeated Esti Ginzburg (48.0%) Cindy Crawford (50.5%) defeated Judit Masco (49.5%) (1) Elle Macpherson and Cindy Crawford will face each other in the Third Round My spin: Wow, what a start to the Second Round! #1 ranked Elle Macpherson got all she could handle from Esti Ginzburg, and Elle just barely hung on to advance to the Third Round. What a great showing from Esti, who beat up on #20 Rachel Hunter in the First Round and very nearly knocked off mighty Elle. Cindy Crawford and Judit Masco also went back and forth, and Cindy ended up pulling out the victory by an extremely narrow margin. Judit is one of my favorites, so I’m a bit in mourning over this result. But, Judit had a good showing in the tournament, and I guess there’s always next year. So, that sets up a battle of mega supermodels who can be recognized by first name only: Elle vs. Cindy in the Third Round. This match should be unbelievable! What are your thoughts?

Today’s results are in, and this completes the First Round! New Second Round matches coming shortly. Knockout Stage - First Round Melissa Haro (94.1%) defeated Rachel Roberts (5.9%) Melissa Haro advances to the Second Round to face (12) Kate Upton Hannah Ferguson (73.1%) defeated Marloes Horst (26.9%) Hannah Ferguson advances to the Second Round to face (10) Anne Vyalitsyna Chandra North (53.3%) defeated Samantha Hoopes (46.7%) Chandra North advances to the Second Round to face (2) Kathy Ireland My spin: Melissa Haro made mincemeat of Rachel Roberts and will take that momentum into a matchup with Kate the Great in the Second Round. That should be an interesting one! Hannah Ferguson won the battle of the rookies pretty easily over Marloes Horst, and she’ll take her smoking self to the next round and face #10 Anne V. This is another upset alert, I think! With a win, Samantha Hoopes had a chance to avenge her narrow Group Stage loss to #2 Kathy Ireland. But, Chandra North had other ideas, and Samantha hits the showers while Chandra moves on to face Kathy. That’s the end of the First Round already! There are now just 64 models remaining with a hope to claim the title of 2014 SI Swimsuit Model Tournament Champion! What are your thoughts? Post and share them!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - First Round Carol Alt (53.3%) defeated Kristy Hinze (46.7%) Carol Alt advances to the Second Round to face (8) Brooklyn Decker Jessica Perez (82.6%) defeated Malia Jones (17.4%) Jessica Perez advances to the Second Round to face (7) Irina Shayk My spin: Carol Alt and Kristy Hinze were close throughout, but Carol survived the test and moves on to another, even bigger, test in #8 Brooklyn Decker. Malia Jones had surprised everyone by getting to the Knockout Stage, but she was overmatched by Jessica Perez once there. Jessica showed that she’s a real threat to her next opponent, #7 Irina Shayk. Irina has also been vulnerable, losing a match to Jeisa Chiminazzo in the Group Stage. For a while, it very much in question whether she’d advance as the group winner. This is another potential upset, in my estimation. Should be exciting! What are your thoughts? Post and share them! Latest Knockout Stage bracket Thanks for voting!

Today’s results are in! Knockout Stage - First Round Ana Beatriz Barros (68.2%) defeated Ingrid Seynhaeve (31.8%) Ana Beatriz Barros advances to the Second Round to face (13) Paulina Porizkova Michelle Behennah (80.0%) defeated Monika Schnarre (20.0%) Michelle Behennah advances to the Second Round to face (11) Christie Brinkley My spin: Ana Beatriz Barros struggled in the 2013 tournament, but in this year’s she has been much better. She went 3-1 in the Group Stage and has now advanced to the Second Round of the Knockout Stage after a good win over Ingrid Seynhaeve. Personally, I’m sad to see Ingrid lose, since she’s one of my throwback favorites. But, oh well! Ana Beatriz will have a very tough test in #13 Paulina Porizkova next round. In the other match, the youngest SI Swimsuit model ever, Monika Schnarre, succumbed to Michelle Behennah. Monika had a surprisingly good run through the Group Stage at 3-1, but this is the end of her road in the 2014 tournament. Michelle advances to face #11 Christie Brinkley in the next round, and I’m thinking this may be an upset alert! Michelle will not make it easy for Christie. What are your thoughts?
